Cruising the Sydney Harbour

by Rachel on 10/21/2009 | Has 0 comments

What better way to drink in Sydney than while cruising the Sydney Harbour, and what better way to do that than by relaxing on a yacht … and that’s exactly what I did the day after I arrived in Sydney. And did I ever need it. I was still adjusting to my 24 hours of flying from the states to Australia from the day before, and I wasn’t exactly happy about my early wake-up call. But once I got some fresh ocean air, I changed my mind.

Dining at the Four Seasons

Not everything is perfect in Costa Rica, as I soon found out. This is a serious luxury getaway off the beaten path and therefore you are really limited as to where you can go out to eat and what you can see. The closest city is 45 minutes away … that meant I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Four Seasons. But that was okay; I could deal. After all, we’re talking about the Four Seasons!

Where to Stay in Costa Rica

Costa Rica. After spending two weeks in the Caribbean basking in the sun, I was looking forward to shaking things up a bit and this was just the place to do it. While I’ve never been to Costa Rica before, many of my friends have, so I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I got here. I had a list and I wasn’t about to waste a minute of my time lounging around doing nothing. I was here for action and adventure.

Go-Girl Takes to the Skies and Conquers It
Nothing stops me or gets in my way of doing what I want, and when it comes to adventure travel, I’m all in. My trip to New Zealand was no exception. To get the lay of the land, I took to the sky … by helicopter. There’s no better way to see everything that New Zealand has to offer, every peak and valley, every city, town and village, than by a helicopter. But be warned: This is not for the faint of

Anguilla

Moving through my whirlwind tour of the Caribbean and loving every minute of it. There’s not a moment to lose!

Next up: Anguilla. I stayed in Cap Juluca and all I can say is WOW! This place was stunning. I was amazed at how pretty my room was, and I found it strange that they didn’t lock the rooms from the outside; you can only lock it once you are inside your room. When I asked the front desk why the rooms were like that, they simply told me they have never had a break-in at the hotel. And I did feel very safe there.

Grand Cayman and the Ritz Carlton - Paradise Found

Ahhh … Grand Cayman. This is by far the best known of the Cayman Islands and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I was looking forward to journeying to this destination. Imagine: spectacular beauty, white-sand beaches stretching for miles, a blazing sun warming your skin and the bluest skies you’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Dining the Ritz Carlton Way

Variety is the spice of life, and the Ritz Carlton offers plenty with its choice of dining options. I just had to sample brunch at Restaurant Seven, and I can honestly say that they served the best omelet I’ve ever had. Plus, the service was reasonably quick. I was impressed by how late they ran their Sunday brunch buffet (until 3:00 PM), always ensuring that the food was hot and that there was plenty of it to go around.

I also tried Bar Jack, nestled next to the pool. Great food as well; the fish sandwiches and salads were so very fresh, and the service was super fast.
