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. With the pandemic restrictions lifting, we thought it was a good a time as any to travel. We used Risa Travel in order to plan our vacation. After speaking to a representative, we chose the Barcelo in Cancun. We had...

I have not posted in over a week because I was on vacation in Cancun with my family. You can expect a lot of blogs related to my vacation in the near future.

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.

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...
Cheesecake Factory Revisited Review Foodie Weekend
This weekend we went to the Cheesecake Factory in Dadeland Mall. We wanted to get mother her Mother’s Day present early. So, we figured that we might as well eat in one of our favorite restaurants. It had been a bit of a while since last we visited. By removing alcoholic drinks, it didn’t make it to the 200 bucks. The food there is something that we would consider a tad expensive. It is a good thing that we do not eat out so often. We like to reserve it for at least once a week. If we don’t get...
