Venetian Magic

Venetian Magic, Venetian splendor!  Oh, how I love the Venetian grandeur.  This hotel/resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, is my absolute favorite out of all of them there.  I have stayed at the Venetian many years ago, and absolutely loved it!  I wish I could always stay there when ever I visit Las Vegas.  Even when I stay elsewhere, I make it a point to go visit the Venetian.  If you can’t go to Venice, at least go to the Venetian – it’s a bit of the real thing.  Here are some pictures:

Isn’t this place pretty?  Isn’t it magical?  Wish I could have a permanent suite there!  These were all pictures taken outside of the Venetian, next time I will show you some pictures taken inside.

 

Beaches Negril – A Fantastic All-Inclusive Family Vacation

Jamaica is one of my favorite places to visit.  I have been to Jamaica four times now, once to Montego Bay and three times to Negril.  In 2010, I took my kids and we went to Beaches in Negril.  We were supposed to go to Beaches Boscobel, but found out at the last moment that our booking was going to be transferred to Beaches Negril, and it turned out to be a great vacation.  It was absolutely fantastic – an all-inclusive vacation that can just about parallel any all-inclusive cruise (and you know I love cruises)!  What was nice about this vacation was that the Beaches Negril property overlooks the beach, and some of the water activities such as the Banana Boat are included.  One night there was a beach party where dinner was served out on the beach, on tables that had white table-cloths spread out on them.  It looked really fancy outside, and the buffet was scrumptious, there were even fresh coconuts – everyone lined up for them and were drinking the refreshing juice of the coconuts right out of the shell.    This was a beach paradise.  If you should ever want to book one of the Beaches resorts, I can book it for you, in fact I would be happy to recommend it as a great family resort and vacation.

The Banana Boat was so much fun!  I tried it myself, and even have a short video on You Tube on this.  I may add this later into this post.

Me and my three kids – they got me to go into the Lazy River (you sit there and jet-streams of water push you through the entire pool).

Thanks for reading my post, and remember Jamaica is a great place to vacation, actually one of the very best places.  I love Jamaica, I love the people there, they are so nice and friendly, and  it makes for a great place to vacation.
