A Few Hours in Amsterdam....

Amsterdam....where shall I begin?  Amsterdam is a unique city of flowers, museums, cuisine, canals, and then there is the Red Light district.    I spent less than 24 hours in Amsterdam, wish I could have found more time.  It's a beautiful city, with lots of culture, bicycles, and flowers everywhere.  I enjoyed taking the train into the city, and making my way through the canals and Red Light district.  Lots of great restaurants, desserts, and then the shops.  Sex shops, toys, videos, and live shows of every kind.  The main avenue is filled with canals, and buildings with red curtains.  Lots of beautiful women behind the red curtains.  

I would also recommend discovering Amsterdam, it's beautiful.  Here are a few of my photos.

A Day in Paris.....

It's been a while since I last posted, it's been busy at work and I made an unexpected trip to Amsterdam and Paris.  Paris, anytime of the year, is an amazing city of lights, sounds, tastes, fashion and culture.  I spent 24 hours in the City of Lights, and was fortunate to see a lot.  The Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Avenue of Champs-Elysees, St. Michel fountains, and a tour of the Seine on a bateau-mouche.  Did I mention crepes?  Freshly made with Nutella, to die for.    It's a romantic city, that cannot be missed for the world traveler.

If you have not made the trip, I'd highly recommend visiting Paris, it's a once in a lifetime experience.   Just a glimpse of Paris, right here.  Just go!

The Anguilla Experience....Take the Journey

Time to take a quick journey to Anguilla with me....spent 7 days in paradise, a small tiny island near St. Maarten/St. Martin called Anguilla.  Upon arrival, I was immediately drawn to the beaches, the fruity drinks, and the mindset of being relaxed.  First stop, The Viceroy.  The Viceroy is the premier luxury resort on the island, and has been only been open for about 2 years.   The resort is breathtaking, and offers every imaginable luxury.  The likes of Michael Jordan, Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Sandra Bullock have visited the resort.  Located on the Western side of the island, Viceroy is located on Mead's Bay.

I spent time at the bar, sipping Mimosas, watching the sunset, and.......a celebrity wedding.   Viceroy offers luxurious suites, amazing culinary choices, an extensive wine and cocktail selection, and a first-class spa with every imaginable treatment available.  Here are a few pictures of the resort to give you a sample of what Viceroy has to offer.

If you would like more information on viceroy, feel free to visit viceroyanguilla.com.  Truly a remarkable resort, and a wonderful addition to Anguilla's list of luxury resorts.  More to come on luxury resorts and villa rentals.  Vacation needed?  Anguilla is the place to go....

Escaping to Anguilla....vacation in progress

Just a quick note from...the one, the only, the beautiful Anguilla.  So I've been on vacation since June 25th, in Anguilla.  I will provide a more detailed report upon my return tomorrow, but all I can say is Anguilla truly is a relaxed state of mind.  I am coming back a different Jeanene, from the woman who left.   Tanned, relaxed, and very much at peace.  I've been to Rendevous Bay, Mead's Bay, Maunday's Bay, Crocus Bay, Shoal Bay, Sandy Ground, Shoal Bay West, and Sandy Island.  Viceroy, Cuisinart, and Cap Juluca are the premier resorts on island.  I saw R&B star Amerie get married at Viceroy while sipping mimosas....

And did I mention beaches? Water amazingly clear, sand powdery soft.  My personal favorite beach is Rendevous...the water is amazingly clear, beach is quiet, and I feel like I have my own private beach.  Lots of rum punch....my favorite bartenders on the island are Myra (da Vida's) and Elvis (Elvis' Beach Bar)...coming to Anguilla is very much like coming to paradise.  So sad, but the journey must come to an end tomorrow, I am returning home.  Look for pictures and details coming soon.

ps.  I'm already ready for my next trip to Anguilla.  If you want to come along, you have time to get ready.
