Nassau, Bahamas and Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos

Hi, it' Jerry and I have just returned from a familiarization trip to Sandals Royal Bahmamian in Nassau, Bahamas and Beaches Turks and Caicos. Sandals in Nassau is an Adults only luxury all inclusive resort and I would say that they take care of your every need. They have a room category for just about everyone, from a deluxe room to a suite with your own personal butler. They are one of only two Sandals resorts that have their own private island. They also have the Red Lane spa for all the pampering you will need.
The next day I went to the Beaches Resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Beaches is a family resort that the kids will will enjoy as much as the adults. For the kids they have a Pirates Island waterpark as well six swimming pools and Sesame Street characters onsite and for the very small children they have a fantastic day care center. They have adults only restaurants so if you want to dine without your kids or anyone elses you can do that. Beaches also has the Red Lane Spa!! I think they have something for everyone and I would highly recommend both of them!!

Pacific Northwest

Hello again everyone. It's Jerry and I have just returned from a trip to the Pacific Northwest. I flew into Seattle where my family and I stayed for 4 days. While we were there we went up in the Space Needle twice. We went up in the day time and then again at night. Totaly different view at night!! The needle is over 650 feet high so you can really get a view of Seattle. We also went to Pikes Market and watched them throw the fish around. The Seahawks were playing the Bears while we were there so we were able to get tickets at the last minute and that was a lot of fun. We also went on a harbour tour and a Ride the Ducks tour. That's a tour that takes you around the city on a WW II amphibious beach craft. It goes on water and land. That was a lot of fun!! We also went to Mt. St. Helens and to Mt. Hood on our way to Portland where we stayed with family for two days. We flew home from there. While we were at Mt. Hood it snowed a foot and was still snowing when we left and this was in the last of Sept!! We also went out to the coast for a day visit so one day we were in the snow and the next we were in the ocean!! I love this part of the country and I think evereyone should see those mountains. This is a great vacation destination!
