Help I Want to Get Away

Open for Business

You've been held captive in your home for months now, and you need to get away.   Cruises aren't sailing, so where can you go?

One suggestion I have for you is Cancun.

Health & Safety First

Brennan Quesnele, Vice President of Sales from GOGO Vacations, is shown arriving at Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun.    Not only is this property open for business, but they have implemented all the necessary protocols for a safe and healthy vacation.

The process starts when you arrive at the resort.  A bell captain will spray your hands with sanitizer, check your temperature, and take your luggage for sanitation.  Next you'll sanitize your shows before proceeding to the check-in desk.  At the desk there's a Mask Detecting Thermal Skin Temperature Access Control Camera Panel which will show Green if you are wearing your mask properly and you don't have a temperature.

Nothing Says Vacation Like Flip Flops

He's all checked in and ready to check out his guest suite.  But first,  he gets a pair of flip flops.

When they arrived at his guest suite, the first thing he noticed is that there is a sanitation seal affixed to the door.   This confirms that the room has been sanitized and is ready for occupancy.

Learn more about their Peace of Mind Commitment and the steps they are taking throughout your stay.

Let's Go Inside His Guest Suite

This could be you.  Contact me and I'll check availability and make all the necessary arrangements for you.   Before you know it, you could be relaxing on the beach sipping a Coconut Lime Margarita.

Until then, check out the recipe and make one (or more) at home.

Would you like to make the perfect Coconut Lime Margarita?

If so, grab your glass, along with these 5 ingredients, and follow these ten steps to assemble your very own tasty margarita.

Our friends at GOGO Vacations recently went to Karisma's Margaritaville Island Reserve in Cancun, Mexico and shared this Coconut Lime Margarita recipe with us.   They captured the entire process on video, and we've captured the highlights to share with you.

First of all, they followed all the necessary safety protocols before getting behind the bar to make this margarita for us.   Notice the masks - the resort is open and accepting guests, following new protocols to keep everyone safe and healthy.  We'll talk about that in another post, but first, let's enjoy a drink.

Tip:  take the fresh lime in your hand and rub it on the counter in circles.  This will soften the lime up and when you slice it in half and squeeze into the glass, you'll get all the juice.

Next:  Garnish with Lime & Mint Leaf - Enjoy !

How did your Margarita Turn Out ?   Pictures Please !

When you visit Island Reserve, ask for the WTH Coconut Lime Margarita.  It has been named after us, World Travel Holdings.

Cruising Mexico

Mexico is not just sunny beaches and great water sports. Mexico's Spanish colonial roots fused with her turbulent Indian ancestry have engendered a rich cultural history. Fascinating archaeological ruins, extraordinary works of art, colonial architecture, native handicrafts and wonderful folklore will capture your imagination. Combine all this with fiery sunsets, lots of fun and romantic evenings, and you have the makings of a spectacular cruise vacation.

There are three types of cruise to Mexico, each offering a different cruise experience.

Mexico Baja : These are short 3 and 4 day cruises departing year-round from Los Angeles, California to Ensenada, Mexico and Catalina. Very popular with the West Coast crowd as fun, quick and relaxing getaway.

Mexico Round-Trip (Mexican Riviera) : These are typically 7-night cruises departing year-round from Los Angeles, and seasonally from San Diego and San Francisco; however, they travel further South than the shorter Mexican Baja Cruises. A Mexico Round-Trip cruise often includes, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, and Puerto Vallarta before returning to Los Angeles.

Some 8, 10 and 11 night cruises to the Mexico Round-Trip are also offered seasonally. Panama Canal -Full Transit cruises often offer stops in Mexico such as Huatulco, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas. Acapulco is famous for the cliff divers, while Cabo San Lucas is famous for Land's End (pictured above). The scnery is some of the best in the world.

In April, many cruise lines offer a one time one-way repositioning Mexico Round-Trip Cruise from Acapulco to Los Angeles or San Francisco as their travel enroute to Vancouver for the Alaska season. They do this again in the reverse at the end of the Alaska Season.

Caribbean - Western : Many 4, 5 and 7 night Caribbean cruises make stops in Cancun and Cozumel, Mexico, which is on the opposite side of the country when compared to the Mexican Riviera. Click here to learn more about the Western Caribbean.

In Mexico you'll find world-glass golfing, horseback riding, bounteous sport fishing, and sensational diving spots. Dramatic scenery abounds. Shopping is blissful. The American dollar goes a long way, and everything, from regional leather goods and handcrafted silver to designer imports is a bargain.

From the ancient ruins to modern day cities, there is something for everyone in Mexico. I'll take a closer look at some of our Mexican cruises in future articles.
