How about a little white ocean surf, white sand and even some white nosed bunnies?
Head to White Point!
This December there is so much going on at White Point that makes it easy to pair family gathering, office socials even romantic getaways - see it all now in the most recent newsletter: http://www.whitepoint.com/newsletters/2009/nov25/online.html
We hope you’ll be joining us!
including Coach, Tous, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors, we saw lions at MGM ..we took in the Elton John Concert at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, The Price Is Right at Bally’s, plus we also rented a car for the week and were able to drive to see the Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and being only 3 and 1/2 hours away, we drove to Los Angeles, right up to the Hollywood sign, even walked on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and shopped on Rodeo Drive. The food in Vegas was incredible…and not at all expensive….you can opt for an all you can eat buffet for under $15.00, or a more formal restaurant setting for under $25.00 or grab a hotdog and beer for $3.00…there is something for everyone.
The kitchen had every thing we needed , you folks at WHIT POINT have not forgoten an thing in that cottage.
Next day … more beach , facepainting for the little one, pingpong and pool for some , paddle boat rides , and the golf course again for some. And of course, more swimming.
Back to the cottage for a familt BBQ, a fire in the fire place and smores for everyone. Then we played games around the table , just wonderful family time.
Day 3 we were on our way back to our homes. Sorry to say good-bye to our family and cottage. We left with tears and a lot of wonderful memories .
AS THE SONG SAYS “ THANK WHITE POINT FOR THE MEMORIES”.

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!

This was by far one of the most memorable vacations I have ever taken!
We booked our Catamaran trip to St-Vincent and the Grenadines through Trade Winds, an RCI affiliate. We sailed for one week to 8 different destinations! The dining component, which is included in the package for $600 per week, was absolutely exquisite. The best choices of wines and we even caught one of our dinners from the ocean! The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, we remain friends to this day. I would recommend this exciting experience to anyone who wants to discover untouched breathtaking sites.
Our vacation in Florida was a very exciting and very busy time.
We went for the Daytona 500 (NASCAR Races) and had a busy schedule planned just for the races. On our days when we weren’t at the track we did some sight seeing - the weather was absolutely gorgeous!
We were so pleased to find out how friendly the people were and very eager to please us, the hospitality was outstanding there. With our busy schedule we didn’t get much time to just relax but when we did we thoroughly enjoyed. We walked on the beach for over a mile and everyone we met on the beach spoke to us in a friendly way - as if we were neighbours. There is so much to see and do there so we’d like to go back and spend our time just doing as we please and relaxing. We found it so easy to find our way around there, and their roads are so good.
We are thinking of looking in to a Time Share there or maybe even buying a house there for when we retire; we’d move there in a heart beat! Our time in Daytona Beach was one we won’t forget and we look forward to returning there.
We stayed at the Mayan Palace which had the second largest pool in Latin America with 5 extraordinary restaurants on-site. The picture at the restaurant was taken at El Dorados in Puerto Vallarta, which was without a doubt, the best meal I have ever eaten with the best service too. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it! The restaurant was outdoors, with the ocean twenty feet in front of our table and lit torches surrounding us. It was extremely romantic. The mariachi band was certainly a special touch.
We went on a day excursion to a private island called Las Calitas - here Dave went swimming with the Sea Lion and had a terrififc time. It was a beautiful hour and a half boat ride to this island where we spent the day kayaking, snorkeling, and visiting the wild life. They offered pottery classes, guided tours through an orchid garden, and visits with monkeys, snakes, parrots and owls.
It was indeed a wonderful trip.
