Aug 26 - 30, 2015

We flew from Miami to Bahamas on Wednesday and returned home 4 days later.
On our last day the Erika storm was passing by on his way to Florida which causing lots of winds and some rains.
We were so afraid that the flight would be canceled but fortunately it did not; so we got home safely and on schedule as planned.

Atlantis Hotel & Casino is so beautiful in every way, especially the scenery, the aquarium and the Aquaventure Park.
The room is nothing fancy but it is comfortable.

Things are expensive here. For example, a small Orange Juice bottle cost $4.50 while the outside stores sell it for about $2.
Half gallon of milk: $7.00. A cheese steak burrito: $13.00.

To my surprise, the food courts at the Bahamas airport have better price, mostly same prices as in the U.S.

Overall we love this place!

Sunday Aug 17 - Sunday Aug 24, 2014

Booked the trip from AppleVacations.com for $900.00/person for 7 nights all inclusive at the hotel IBEROSTAR PARAISO DEL MAR in Riviera Maya, Mexico. One week before our departure, AppleVacations called and said that they overbooked at the hotel Del Mar so they upgraded us to the hotel next door which is more luxury IBEROSTAR PARAISO LINDO. Turned out it was a very good upgrade because Lindo is much nicer than Del Mar.

There are total of 4 Iberostar hotels which are located next to each other and in the order of the luxury, the one with lowest stars are listed first: IBEROSTAR PARAISO Del Mar, IBEROSTAR PARAISO Beach, IBEROSTAR PARAISO Lindo and IBEROSTAR PARAISO Royal. All hotels share the same shopping center, which also offer foods and drinks and wifi with no extra charge because this is all inclusive.

The hotel Lindo is huge with lots of water features around it. The only places that have Air Conditioning is the lobby and the main buffet restaurant; other restaurants and the theater where all the nightly performances took place are open space so it can get really hot during the day and night. That is why the kids love the Lobby because there's free wifi and it's cool.

Riviera Maya is about 40 min drive to the Cancun hotel zone. The hotel offers taxi service with a not-so-good price but since this hotel is in a very isolated location we really had no choice but to use their taxi. We checked out the La Isla plaza and the kids wanted to swim with the dolphins so we bought the tickets to the Aquarium. After that we had lunch at the Iberostar Cancun which is the sister hotel of Lindo hotel so we did not have to pay anything. The kids love the beach here because of white sand and lots of waves. I especially love the cakes here; they tasted so good! Anh Thân & Thịnh loved their wine; they almost finished the whole bottle of champagne!

Riviera Maya is about 15 minutes drive to the nearest town Del Carmen. The shuttle fee is only $5.00/pp one way. The town is small with mostly shops for tourists. The beach is so full of hotels and restaurants! Seems like this is the place for snorkeling and diving!

Overall this trip was so much fun and worth every penny. The foods were great, weather was nice and best of all we got to hang out with the family.

There was a good deal from LADeals.com for the package of the Scenic Ride and Tubing Park at Mt. Baldy for only $16.00 for 2 hours (regular price is $35.00) so we decided to go up there for some snow fun. It was a sunny day so there was not much snow but we had fun with snow-tubing regardless.

www.mtbaldy.com
- Must buy the Scenic Ride to go up to the mountain - 15 minutes ride ($20.00 for adult, $10.00 for children). Buy the ride tickets at the base near the parking lot.
- Once you're on top of the mountain, you can buy the Snow Tubing or Ski tickets in the Top of the Notch restaurant.
- They don't allow any kind of Slides so don't bother to bring your own.
