Brassiere Restaurant Barcelo Maya Palace Foodie Review
Today, I wanted to rant about the French Restaurant I visited in Barcelo Maya Palace. You need to make a reservation for it in order to be allowed to enter it. None of the menus have prices. This works fine because we went on an All-inclusive vacation. All the food included. You get free house wine or a soda. My mom and brother tried the house wine. It was pretty good. The waiter was polite and attentive. I have only nice things to say about him. This was a four-course meal. I took a photograph of the menu. Now, that...
Barcelo Maya Palace All-inclusive Vacation Cancun Resort Highlights
(Lobby) Today, I got back from Mexico. We had been planning this vacation for the last two months. My brother got lucky in the stock market. This gave us enough to go on a vacation. It had been ages since we had traveled outside of the country. I think the last time we visited Mexico was 6 years ago.

After speaking to a representative, we chose the Barcelo in Cancun. We had...

Cantina Catrina in Dadeland Mall Foodie Restaurant Review
Last weekend, we ate at Cantina Catrina. We always pass by that restaurant whenever we go out shopping. After reading the menu, we finally got curious enough to go eat at this Mexican restaurant. The first thing worth mentioning is the look of the place. It is themed after Dia de Los Muertos. It has a lot of fun skull decorations. In the front of the store, there is a statue of Catrina’s ghost, welcoming you to her Cantina. Her skull form has a bit of a Frida Kahlo vibe. I would imagine that this is what Frida looks like...
Islamorada Highlights and Wahoo Revisited
Today, we woke up in a traveling mood. The day was just too beautiful spend it indoors. So, we got in the car and we drove to Wahoo Bar and Grill in Islamorada. Along the way, we took in the sights and sounds. When I say that we drove there, I mean that my mother drove there. She is always the one who drives the car. She gets tense when my brother drives the car. So, if we are all together in the same vehicle, she insists on driving. There was a bit of traffic in the middle of the...
