Travel and Leisure’s new post about the Best Secret Islands on Earth inspired me to write about these stunning islands. Many of them are just off the coast of popular destinations and offer a great opportunity to experience real solace in the middle of a busy vacation!
1. Gozo, Malta
This hilly landscape in the Mediterranean will take you to another place and time with castle ruins and a Bronze Age fortress
2. Robinson Crusoe, Chile
It’s easy to understand why this island inspired the novel Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe Island
3. Gotska Sandon, Sweden
This island is covered in moss and pine trees
4. Skopelos, Greece
So perfect, they filmed Mama Mia! here…
5. Pico, Portugal

Summer is almost here, and that means BBQs, beach, pool, and patio brunches! These delicious cocktails perfectly pair with summer food and activities. Try adding fruit garnishes for a little extra flavor and glamour.
Top 10 Best Summer Cocktails:
1. Kumquat Caipirinha
This delicious spin on the Brazilian cocktail has soy caramel sauce (omg), lemon juice, raw sugar, kumquats, cachaca, and ice. This sounds perfect for a chic summer white party or cocktails by the pool with the girls.
Royal Blush Cocktail
2. Royal Blush
This drink changes from green to pink! It has cherry puree, vodka, lime juice, simple syrup, mint leaves, and dry sparkling wine (like brut Champagne).
Sangria is good anytime, anywhere! It is really easy to make and both the red and white are delicious. Try the white with Champagne, vodka, white wine, ginger ale, and any kind of fruit. It’s best if you let the ingredients soak for a day or two prior to drinking and let the flavors of the fruit really percolate.
4. Bloody Mary
Another classic, great at those brunches on the patio, or for a little “hair of the dog” cure the next morning by the pool. Try using grated horseradish and Tobasco with your tomato juice and vodka. Blue cheese stuffed olives are always a nice touch as well.
Bazooka Bubblegum Cocktail
5. Bazooka Bubblegum Cocktail
The pink color and bubblegum flavor make this drink fun for parties. Mix vodka with double bubble to achieve the bubble gum taste.
6. El Diablo
This is a sophisticated version of beer, and is a good option for the men at your summer soirees. Mix tequila, ginger, beer, and creme de cassis and prepare for the compliments!
7. Mint Julep
This classic cocktail is not for the faint of heart! It tastes great but packs a punch. Whiskey, mint, soda, water, sugar and crushed ice are the main ingredients, so it’s a relatively easy drink to make.
8. French 75
It’s just a little more intense than regular Champagne! Use Champagne, gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
A classic cocktail with a sugar rim, Cognac,, Cointreau, and lemon juice.
Who doesn’t love a mojito? It’s super refreshing, perfect for the pool or beach. Mix mint, lime, rum, sugar and club soda for the perfect drink on a hot summer day.

With the help of the internet, people can plan their own itineraries for most trips. Here are some tips from expert travel agents to keep in mind when planning your vacation, via Virtuoso Life Magazine:
1. Get private.
Going with a private guide is an advantage – private guides have insider access to popular sites, and can help you visit before and after hours.
2. Check the weather.
Plan travels to coincide with optimal weather – every destination has seasons that are better for traveling, so make sure the weather patterns line up with the type of vacation you are planning for.
3. Go when other tourists don’t.
This can be hard if you are very serious about Tip #2, but there are some pros to going during slow season (like cheaper rates).
4. What to pack….
For a private jet: champagne or wine stopper for the celebratory bottle that you will never finish
Eco-adventure: clothes you’re ready to retire. Before returning, donate them to the local charity.
5. Order a signature cocktail.
Try these expert travel agent recommended cocktails:
- Raffles Hotel Singapore, Long Bar: “Sling”
- St. Regis NY, King Cole Bar: Bloody Mary
- Cambridge Beaches Bermuda: “Dark & Stormy”
6. Get a real souvenir.
- Hong Kong: Custom make suits and shoes, antique lacquer boxes, a chop (a personalized carved signature stamp)
- London: Royal Blend Tea, perfume from Floris, Henry Watson’s pottery
- Milan: Designer wear, silk scarves, leather shoes
- Sydney: Sheepskin products, woolens, opals
- Buenos Aires: Leather, cashmere
7. If attending a bullfight at San Fermin:
Drip wine on your shirt before you go, otherwise the locals will do it for you – better to have a few spots then to be covered completely.
8. When traveling in the American South:
If you don’t specify unsweetened iced tea, you will get the extremely sugary “sweet tea,” the house wine of the south.
9. On the vernacular of Cornwall, England:
Cornish people call everyone, ‘my lover.’ Don’t be offended.
10. On being present during your vacation:
Put the camera down. You’ll have plenty of great photos, but you can’t capture every single thing, like interacting with penguins or the awe of an iceberg.
Ten of the best places to have a romantic getaway:
1. New York City, NY. A classic romantic vacation destination. Try staying at the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. This 86-room hotel will make you feel at home with its unique interior design style. Each guest room and suite looks like a luxurious bedroom.
Romantic Getaways - Crosby Street Hotel, NYC
Enjoy one of the many romantic activities New York City has to offer, like walking by the lighted fountains at the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts, having dinner in Central Park followed by a carriage ride, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, going to the Roof Gardens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or going to the top of the Empire State Building .
2. Paris, France. Paris is one of the most romantic places in the world. Try staying at the Four Seasons George V, just steps from the Champs-Elysees, where you can enjoy a private dinner with a view of the Eiffel Tower from your guest room or suite terrace.
Romantic Getaways - Four Seasons George V
A great couples activity to do in Paris is to take cooking classes at Ecole de Cuisine Alain Ducasse from top French chefs, such as Romain Corbiere, the former Executive Chef of Ducasse’s le Relais du Parc. Classes consist of going to the farmer’s market to pick out the best ingredients, and then heading back to get a hands-on lesson on how to prepare it.

Nice place for the right price
If you're expecting a gorgeous beach house, this isn't it. That being said, a gorgeous beach house is going to cost you A LOT more. The apartment was larger than I expected from the pictures, especially the kitchen area. The beach/boardwalk was a short walk away, which was nice. The only complaint I have was that the floor was fairly dirty, and if you didn't wear socks or shoes, the bottom of your feet became black with dirt. But hey, for a reasonably priced place near the beach, what do you expect? Overall it got the job done and was a good place for a quick girls weekend.
Very nice, simple spot to enjoy our weekend at the beach
We had a group of 8 or so people and we all bunked up in here for our annual Wildwood Ultimate tournament. The location was a few minutes away from our spot on the beach and worked out perfectly.
Apartment wasn't clean which lead to ants. Brought items back from the boardwalk and all ruined by ants. The place smelled, comforters were dirty, floors uneven and felt like you were going to fall through. It is close to the beach but that's all that was great about the stay. Very uncomfortable feeling.
Depo’s Deplorable Destination
There was fecal matter on the bathroom walls, blood stained pillows and about a month worth of dirty on every surface. The pictures alone would make your skin crawl. Then, to add insult to injury, he blamed the mess on me and took my deposit. Shame on him! Presently disputing the charge with American Express.
Very nice place, highly recommended
The apartment was very clean, had everything you could need to enjoy the trip. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. Close to beach and convention center. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a budget friendly place to stay in WW.
Very beautiful home
We had a great time

Learn if you live in the best cities for Airbnb and how to capitalize on that opportunity.
Is your hometown the perfect market for Airbnb? In recent years, renting spaces on Airbnb has emerged as a great alternative to traditional hotels. Hosts that have committed themselves to renting their homes on Airbnb have made some significant income in the process. Are you thinking about renting your home on Airbnb? If you’re lucky, you live in a location where your rental can bring in some great profits. With any real estate investment, the main success factor is location, location, location. This goes for Airbnb rentals too. If you’re living in one of the best cities for Airbnb rentals, you can make some good money from renting your home. You can even take it a step further and purchase an Airbnb investment property and watch your income soar. How does your location stack up? Keep reading to learn more!
Some of the Best Cities for Airbnb:
Palm Spring, CA
Not only does this destination boast warm and sunny temperatures year round, it also houses Coachella, one of the largest music festivals in the world. If you live in this area or are looking to purchase an investment property in this area, you’ve hit the Airbnb jackpot.
The great thing about Nashville is the fact that it is a great spot for group travel. Bachelorette and Bachelor parties love this place and are looking for large homes for long weekends. If you live in Nashville or are looking to invest in this area, maximizing your guest count while providing proximity to the city center is key.
Other destinations: Other, lesser known cities with tons to do year-round are also great places to have an Airbnb. As travel becomes less expensive people want to visit areas that are more remote or adventurous. If you live or invest in a place with great restaurants, fun stores, fantastic hiking in the summer and great skiing in the winter, you have the perfect recipe for a successful year-round Airbnb rental property.
Not so great cities:
Despite their size and general popularity, cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago aren’t great locations for Airbnb investment. These cities had hundreds of renters sign up for Airbnb early and as a result, have caused some stiff competition. However, as these cities expand, renting a house in the suburbs is becoming a better option.
Pro tip: Ready to purchase your own Airbnb investment property? Learn more here!
If you do live in one of the best cities for Airbnb and end up renting your home, make sure to use Hosty to make the most of it!

PROS: Comfortable clean room with refrigerator and microwave; great wireless internet; nice bathroom area; nice large exercise area (old equipment, but you can get the job done)
CONS: limited offering at breakfast (no protein of any kind, only waffles, bagels, and some cereal daily). electricity went out and although there were several installed emergency lights, patrons were left to defend for themselves. if you didn't have a flashlight, you were up a creek. hotel manager and staff seemed unconcerned and unsympathetic. manager was only worried about his magnetic key. i understand that the electricity was out of his control, but the emergency lights not working was not out of his control. this was a very BAD SAFETY HAZARD especially for those coming down from the 6th floor. all other businesses located next to this hotel had electricity.
located next to the major attractions such as Dallas Cowboy stadium, Texas Ranger stadium, Six Flags, Water park. Things out of this hotel's control is the fact that major road construction is in progress which makes it hard to enter and exit.
call the hotel first before booking with priceline since they had a lower price than what priceline was offering and priceline would not deal to offer some reimbursement. (i'm sure this won't get printed in the survey).

Grand Cayman’s recently opened first-ever boutique resort, Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa, brings travelers a real taste of the Caribbean’s culinary capital. It’s luxurious, perfectly decorated, tech-savvy, and just like all Kimpton properties, dog-friendly. Kimpton Seafire Resort is perfect for all types of travelers: families, millennials, couples, and, most of all, food-lovers. Offering guests the chance to partake in exclusive culinary events, the luxury resort brings a new element to vacation dining experiences.
Recently, Kimpton Seafire Resort collaborated with acclaimed British chef Clare Smyth for 10 days of fine and fresh dining experiences. The three-Michelin-starred chef worked with local farmers and chefs to create Caymanian dishes in cutting-edge ways. The “Chef Clare Takes Cayman” pop-up included dining events ranging from intimate tasting dinners to a four-course gala finale. Kimpton Seafire plans to host unique culinary events regularly throughout the year, bringing renowned culinary talent to the Cayman Islands.
The resort has a focus on promoting health and wellness, offering in-room yoga mats, beach and paddleboard yoga classes, tai chi flows, complimentary Sun Bum sunscreen lotion at the pool, and more. All of their restaurants’ recipes reflect this theme, as they use fresh and local produce and follow a simple yet innovative approach.
The Restaurant Rundown:
Ave brings guests the freshest seafood they’ll ever taste. Executive chef Massimo De Francesca perfectly infuses local Caymanian seafood with a coastal Mediterranean flair. Along with the delicious food, all dishes can be perfectly paired with handmade cocktails that feature local exotic fruits.
For breakfast, Ave offers à la carte or buffet style. The freshly made croissants with homemade jam are a must, along with the Cayman Sunshine juice (mango, carrot, ginger, and orange).
The resort’s dinner-only restaurant serves Spanish-inspired tapas dishes with the ultimate beverage pairing program, featuring Spanish wines along with handmade cocktails. Diners have the option of sitting at the chef’s bar or communal tables for an intimate dining experience of up to 30 guests. At the chef’s bar, nine lucky guests can watch the one-of-a-kind dishes (which change every night) being created right before their eyes.
Located directly on the beach, Coccoloba is the perfect spot for a casual lunch — and don’t forget the margaritas! Here, guests take a break from sunbathing and watersports to snack on gourmet Mexican cuisine with menu items such as fish tacos, fresh ceviche, tostadas, guacamole, and more.
Nestled in the middle of the Seafire Resort is The Pantry, an on-the-go café offering portable sandwiches, homemade pastries, gourmet coffee, and more. Guests can even pick up some cookie dough to bake in their suites or bungalows. Insider tip: Wake up extra early to snatch one of their first-come, first-serve cronuts — it’s well worth it.
For complete relaxation and bliss, guests can stop by the resort’s beautiful spa. The Spa at Seafire offers a full array of services: massage therapy, body treatments, facials, manicures, pedicures, and steam. A popular spa amenity is the grand soaking tub, where guests can sit back and take in the benefits following their treatments.
With 266 guest rooms ranging from ocean-view suites to self-standing bungalows, guests can expect luxurious amenities such as high-speed Wi-Fi, artful décor, a fully-equipped fitness center, a complimentary wine hour, and super comfortable beds. However, one of the top perks when staying at Kimpton Seafire Resort is the breathtaking ocean views.
Rates start at $399, though Kimpton’s Karma members can receive exclusive last-minute deals.
For those looking to explore the island, meet locals, and get some shopping in, there are plenty of options nearby. Kimpton Seafire offers free shuttles daily to Camana Bay, a waterfront town in the heart of Grand Cayman, where guests can enjoy some hidden-gem foodie spots.

04 NIGHTS / 05 Days MALDIVES
Maldives is home to perhaps the best beaches in the world; they’re on almost every one of the country’s nearly 1200 islands and are so consistently perfect that it’s hard not to become blasé about them. While some beaches may boast softer granules than others, the basic fact remains: you won't find consistently whiter-than-white powder sand and luminous cyan-blue water like this anywhere else on earth. This fact alone is enough to bring well over a million people a year to this tiny, remote and otherwise little-known Indian Ocean paradise. Maldives has undergone seismic change in the past 10 years, since inhabited islands have been opened to tourism and locals permitted to build their own guesthouses. Travellers no longer have to stay in resorts and remain separate from the local population, something that kept backpackers away for decades. Island hopping by public ferry, speedboat and domestic flights has opened up this incredible country to visitors on almost all budgets. A number of islands in Male and Ari atolls are now big centres for a booming guesthouse industry, with dozens of options on each. With some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world, the clear waters of Maldives are a magnet for anyone with an interest in marine life. The richness and variety is astonishing; dazzling coral walls, magnificent caves and schools of brightly coloured tropical fish await you when you get down to the reef. In deeper waters lurk manta rays, turtles, sharks and even the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. The best bit? The water is so warm many people don’t even wear a wetsuit.

Well, maybe 2020 will be a fruitful year for you. Here are six reasons to add Egypt to your 2020 holiday destination plans:
1. An Egypt package holiday is more affordable than many imagine
Arguably the biggest concern people have when thinking about a trip to Egypt is the associated cots of travel.

US Airways Flights Now Bookable with British Airways Avios
This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.
Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.
Today marks the first day that US Airways is part of the Oneworld alliance, and one of the more interesting results is that US Airways flights are now bookable using British Airways Avios. That’s good news because British Airways is a transfer partner of both Amex Membership Rewards (and there are sometimes transfer bonuses) if you have a card like the Platinum Card® from American Express or Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express, but also a transfer partner of Starwood Preferred Guest and Chase Ultimate Rewards if you have the Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold or Ink Plus. Right now the British Airways Visa Signature Card is offering 50,000 Avios after you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months, which is a nice balance to start off with, meaning it’s easier to rack up Avios or top up your account if you strategize with the right credit cards.
It’s also interesting because British Airways has a distance-based award chart where shorter flights require you to redeem fewer Avios, so it can be a great bargain on expensive short-hauls – in some cases you’ll be using a lot less miles by opting for BA Avios instead of US Dividend Miles. Not only that, but BA permits one-way awards, which US Airways does not, adding another level of flexibility.
In terms of flights to/from London, British Airways charges very high fuel surcharges on both paid and award tickets that range well over $1,000 in some cases. However, as US Airways doesn’t levy these charges on its own flights, you won’t get hit with them if you use US Airways miles on US Airways flights to London and the rest of Europe, or if you use Avios to book US Airways flights to Europe. The BA search engine seems to be having trouble pulling up flights on US specifically from the US to Europe – it tends to default to BA flights in this case – but there should not be enormous fuel surcharges or taxes on US Airways awards booked using BA Avios.
Where To Fly
US Airways has four major hubs in Charlotte, DC , Phoenix and Philly, which allows for multiple options for booking flights at low redemption levels. Another plus from booking with Avios is that that you can book one-way awards on BA.com, however when you are using the standard US Airways rewards booking, you will need to book roundtrip.
Just keep in mind, that if you are able to find availability, you can also take advantage of US Airways off-peak award travel chart. From February 3-13 and March 17-April 3 you can fly from North America to Hawaii or South America for 35,000 miles roundtrip in coach or 60,000 miles in first. You can also snag off-peak low level awards from North America to Hawaii or Europe from January 15 – February 28 for 35,000 miles roundtrip in economy, so it’s worth checking into off-peak availability and comparing to the cost in Avios before booking.
Here are some great deals that I found using Avios.
Philadelphia – Tel Aviv
Flying from Philadelphia to Tel Aviv in economy using US Airways miles would cost 80,000 miles and $172 roundtrip.
I pulled up the same itinerary on BA.com and saw that it would only cost me 60,000 Avios and $46 for a round trip economy ticket.
One-way in business from PHL- TLV booked on BA.com came up at 60,000 Avios and $2 in taxes on the outbound.
Charlotte – Rio De Janeiro
On US Airways an economy roundtrip award ticket from Charlotte to Rio De Janeiro would cost you 60,000 miles and $105.
For the same flight on BA.com you would need 70,000 Avios but only $54 per ticket. Though you’re paying 10,000 more Avios and only saving $51, it might still be worth it given how much easier is to rack up Avios than US Airways miles.
Philadelphia – London
Although I was having trouble pulling up US Airways flights to London on BA.com, you should be able to call British Airways and have a representative tell you how much the taxes and fees amount to when you find low-level flights on either US Airways’ website or AA.com, which is pretty good at displaying US Airways award availability.
US Airways shows a roundtrip ticket in economy would be 60,000 miles and $325. A low-level business class ticket would also be $325 in taxes and fees and the miles needed would increase to 100,000 miles roundtrip. However, if you were to use Avios, you’d only be paying 40,000 Avios roundtrip in economy and 80,000 in business class since the flight falls just under 4,000 miles each way.
Given US Airways’ extensive domestic route map, 0ne of the great opportunities is going to be using Avios on short-haul flights (or even mid- and longer-range flights) within the US where you will end up using fewer Avios on saver awards than the standard 25,000 US Airways miles in economy and 50,000 in business.
When looking at awards charts, the option for short-haul flights can also be a great deal. It costs 4,500 Avios to fly one-way for any distance of less than 650 miles, and 7,500 for flights in the next distance tier of 651-1,151 miles.
Washington DC – Boston
A roundtrip flight from Washington DC to Boston in first class on US Airways using US miles would cost 50,000 miles and $106 or 25,000 miles and $106 if you can find roundtrip availability in economy.
The same itinerary on BA.com shows that roundtrip in first class will run you 27,000 Avios and $5 – a savings of 23,000 miles or 46%! Note, that’s because it’s first and not business class – so beware US Airway’s two-class flights where you’ll end up paying a premium for “first” class instead of “business.
If you wanted to just book a one-way award instead it would cost you 4,500 Avios and $2 for an economy ticket or 13,500 Avious and $2 for first class.
Charlotte to Grand Cayman (GCM)
Where this is also a big boon is on flights from the east coast to the Caribbean, where many destinations lie within the 651- and 1,151-mile ranges of BA’s award chart. For instance this roundtrip ticket on US from Charlotte to Grand Cayman would cost you 35,000 miles and $120 using US miles.
Philadelphia to Los Angeles
Even on some of the longer-haul transcon flights where you’re paying the same amount in terms of Avios and US miles, there are still some good reasons to opt for Avios instead.
A roundtrip economy flight from Philadelphia to Los Angeles would be 25,000 miles and $106 on USAirways.com
On BA.com the same itinerary will also cost 25,000 Avios but the taxes and fees are about $100 lower at just $5 per ticket.
So all in all, there are some bargains to be had here and in the coming days and weeks as US Airways becomes more closely integrated with its new Oneworld partners, I’ll continue exploring this relationship and the best ways to maximize it. In the meantime, feel free to comment with questions you have and what you are interested in particularly about this new partnership.
