Best of the Best

Being a travel agent and one who is fortunate to travel a lot I get asked questions all the time, what is your favorite place, beach, all inclusive, island, etc. They are hard questions to answer.  Every place is different and offers something special. It's hard to find that one spot that has it all and that being said everyone has their own idea of what makes something the best or their favorite. I find my favorite spots or places are the ones that have left me with fond memories and experiences that have left a lasting impression.

Sitting on my patio in Punta Cana sipping a glass of wine George & I got into just this discussion, what was our favorite beach, the place we had the most fun, where were best sunset, most delicious meals. I thought it would be fun to put together a list of our favorites. These are based on our personal experience, likes, & dislikes. Love to hear feed back on some of your favorites.
