In playa del Carmen http://tw…

In playa del Carmen http://twitpic.com/1xa9ct

Playa del Carmen made me wish I was staying longer. We had booked a luxury tour from Cancun to Cozumel, and only stopped in Playa del Carmen briefly. What we saw was a tranquil, sun drenched beach paradise. Unlike Cancun, the beaches had calm waves, and few people lining them. The atmosphere alone was relaxing.

Our tour guide told us about the nearby ruins of Tulum and Coba. Apparently the Mayan ruins in these areas are quite impressive and warrant another trip to Quintana Roo so I’ll be open for another visit in the future.

Taking a luxury tour to Playa del Carmen…

Taking a luxury tour to Playa del Carmen and then Cozumel – booked through MyCancunTours.com http://twitpic.com/1x9d1t

Hmmm… I haven’t yet figured out what was luxury about this tour but it was still fun. We were picked up at our resort, Le Meridian in Cancun at 8 am by a large well air conditioned bus with very comfortable seating. We had been the last stop apparently, as our next stop was merely to transfer to our next bus, going to Playa del Carmen.

Cancun vacation extended

Cancun vacation extended… Heading to Cozumel and Playa del Carmen for another week http://twitpic.com/1wux80

I can’t believe I planned a mere week in Cancun! It’s just not enough time so I’ve booked another week and am planning to stick around. I’ve seen Cancun, the Chichen Itza ruins of the Yucatan, and the beautiful Isla Mujeres. Now I’ve booked a luxury tour to Playa del Carmen and then ferry to Cozumel. Our tour will then take us to the Cozumel ruins, and in a glass submarine to see the 2nd largest reef in the world.

The Venetian, Las Vegas
Posted on May 7, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Featured, Las Vegas
The Grand Venetian and Palazzo Hotel- possibly the most impressive hotel I’ve seen in Las Vegas. That’s saying a lot, when you consider the impressive structures lining the Las Vegas Strip.

My overall impression and recommendations: Shop here, enjoy the charming gondola rides, marvel at the talented opera singers amidst the Canal Shop Square… then stay elsewhere. I checked out of the hotel nearly a week ago and I’m still spending a few hours a day trying to get out of $5400+ in duplicate charges for my $1600 hotel bill. No, I’m not joking. My billing was not only screwed up multiple times, but Rudy in their billing department has little concern for the matter. Honestly, I’m not bitter. It’s been so ridiculous, I’ve resorted to actually laughing about it! In the meantime, I’m thankful for Chase Bank, and their amazing ability to match the numbers on hotel statements with bank charges, which the Venetian can’t seem to do.
