“Unmistakably the Best”

Reviewed January 2014
“…My Husband and I arrived on Jan. 15th. From the moment we walked into the resort we were absolutely blown away by how beautiful it is. Everyone we came in contact with at the resort was so friendly. We were met with Champagne, a warm towel and smiling faces. The staff is outstanding and goes out of their way to ensure that their guests have everything they need. The food is unquestionably the best I’ve had at Sandals.

Just a word to all the staff, be encouraged, you are doing a wonderful job. Your property is intimate and warm. You are a jewel that is truly shining in the heart of the Caribbean!…”

New Orleans to Memphis
Explore the land of bawdy blues and Southern belles. This journey showcases the diversity and drama of the Lower Mississippi River. From New Orleans to Memphis, the river rolls slowly and expansively, smooth as a southern drawl. The bayous and woodlands along the shore create dramatic landscapes that are virtually unchanged since the days of the French fur traders. Gracious towns with palatial mansions and tree-lined streets abound. History is everywhere – in silent Civil War cemetaries, in the soulful gospel blues of Helena and virtually everywhere you turn in Memphis, best known for jazz, barbeque, and of course The King of Rock and Roll and his home at Graceland.

Join Me Tonight – Special Alaska Cruise Virtual Tour – Ask Questions

“LET’S TAKE AN ARMCHAIR TRIP TOGETHER: ALASKA CRUISE.”

“One of the most beautiful and interesting places I’ve traveled to is Alaska. Many people say that they have sailed to The Inside Passage and think that this is all there is to Alaska. NOT!!! It is so huge that I think it would take 5 or 6 trips to see it all. Now, granted, I’m a nature lover from top to bottom. I’ve been twice for 14 day trips and saw not only the Inside Passage, but The Yukon Territory and the central portion containing Denali National Park. I’ve seen close to 20 each of grizzly bears, moose, caribou and Dall Sheep; a couple of wolves, and even a big porcupine. I’ve flown over Mt. McKinley (it’s huge), ridden the Denali train from Fairbanks to Anchorage and stayed in a couple of lodges along the way. My next trip I want to take a plane out to a remote lodge and see those big bears catching salmon jumping out of the river. I’d also like to see the pod of whales returned to Alaska for the summer. I saw them during the winter in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In order to prepare you for an exciting adventure, I’m inviting you to join me as I attend an on-line Webinar. I watch many every week and find them to be a great way to learn about a destination. Come along with me on this armchair trip to Alaska.” Bon Voyage, Susan   Holland American Line Online Alaska-A Virtual Tour Join us Today at 7:00 p.m. (EST)!! register now Read more
