Wish You Were Here

Anniversary All Inclusive Celebration of a Lifetime! June 15, 2022   Patrick and I were celebrating our 14 year anniversary. We had been through an extremely tough year of 2020 which was full of quarantine, mental illness, depression, marriage issues, our kids were struggling mentally, I had just been hired as a music teacher part-time as well as working at Personal Travel, changing churches, and the list goes on from there. Needless to say my husband and I were ready for a few days away to relax and reconnect.   So we booked the flights to Mexico and headed to an adults only all inclusive called Unico Riviera Maya. We were able to get to the Cancun airport by 10:00am and then we got our transfer and took us about 45 minutes to get to the resort from the airport. When we arrived we were greeted in the lobby and they whisked our luggage away and gave us a refreshing cocktail to sip while we checked-in.

At Personal Travel, we only recommend destinations and properties we have either seen for ourselves or know someone who can vouch for it.

Saint Lucia truly has something for everyone. This lush, volcanic Caribbean island has beautiful, unspoiled splendor just waiting to be explored. With help from the volcanic soil, the lush tropical forests cover the entire island, including the iconic Piton Mountians.

Whether you are seeking adventure, nature, culture, spectacular diving, or romance, you will not be disappointed! During our seven day trip to Saint Lucia, we experienced the island’s natural beauty, met its welcoming people, and saw many of its beautiful resorts. From eco-friendly boutique hotels tucked in the hillsides providing amazing views of the coves below to the elegant all-inslusives located on splendid beaches, every resort was unique and worth exploring. We only had time to do one excursion during this visit, but this Island ...
