In mid April we travelled to a 5 star resort in Lucie, Jamaica on the Negril Coast. It was our first time back in fifteen years and this was a new resort, The Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton. It was a large complex with a main beach , adult beach, and snorkeling beach.  The complex included an exercise facility, a luxurious spa and numerous pools. Food was amazing, with three large all you can eat buffets and five a la carte restaurants and the service was excellent with very friendly people; nightly entertainment on the main stage, and at the bbq pits on the beach. I am trying to keep this short because it would take a book to point out all the wonderful features. Vibrant colours in flowers and wild life. Jamaica has alligators as well as colourful birds.

The sunsets were spectacular and very quick as is common when you are closer to the equator. For anyone with mobility issues (as I have) there were complimentary cart pick up to transport you wherever you wanted to go, available any time.

The pictures show this luxury all inclusive resort and for contrast, the nearby historic town of Lucie with its Spanish fort and fishing. I have included the lower level of the main lobby, windsurfing on the sunset beach, looking into Lucie from the point, a view of the complex showing the main beach and some of the apartments, a series of pool conduits at the spa, a sunset seen from the bluff above our unit and the main pool swim up bar with the built into the pool loungers.

Go! you will love it.

In 2007 , I went to S. Africa, Botswana & Zimbabwe with Senior Tours Canada.

We flew Air Arica from JFK, N.Y. The people we met on the tour, the guides, and the people of these three countries were wonderful.

We met a real tribal chief.

The variety of landscapes and the scenary was awesome, the animals intriging, the food delicious…mmm! Crocodile tail is some tasty……..the Mopane worm was  rather blah. We went on safari, both morning and nighttime….exciting.

One night we were served a late dinner by candlelight out in the wilderness. Martha Stewart eat your heart out!

Lovely tablecloths and the chairs were draped in fabric. Delicious food, and wine if we wanted it.

While we enjoyed our meal, several men walked the perimeter with guns, just in case any animals decided to make a meal on one of us.

I had a wild ride on an ostrich…fun!  
Took my first helicopter ride over Victoria Falls..magnifcent.

The disparity betwen rich and poor is heartbreaking. The poverty is overwhelming. But the spirit, exhibited by the African people in their effort it to overcome adversity is inspiring.

I would love to go back. I share a few of my pictures here for your enjoyment!

With more than 60 Vacation Club Members in the house over the May 22 - 24 Weekend under sunny skies, we had a great Tutorial Weekend.

The morning interactive Vacation Club Basics session was well attended with a great deal of “destination surfing” going on!

Of course, the Vacation Club exclusive “Chef’s Magic” BBQ session was well subscribed as Chef Alan shared some of his tips and samples of his work from the deck of the Beach Club Grill - a terrific reward after the learning in the morning.

In the afternoon, Kevin from RCI provided a fantastic run down of RCI and how to get the most from your membership…plus many, many answers to Owners Questions. Donna Hatt from the Resort also provided some of the new features owners can enjoy this upcoming summer.

Of course, knowing that Sommelier Dan Tanner would be serving up a variety of wines in his “Off the Vine” Wine Tasting, the Tutorial day wrapped up just in time so everyone could get their seats for a tasting extravaganza.

All in all…it was another great day at White Point!
