3 of the Caribbean´s best Sandals resorts for honeymoons

Sandals Grande St. Lucian Based in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the famous Caribbean resort chain founded in 1981 by legendary Jamaican entrepreneur Gordon "Butch" Stewart was instrumental in pioneering the "all-inclusive" concept - paying one (usually very attractive) rate to cover all food and drink as well as many activities and amenities, in addition to just a room. Sandals properties now number 18 on eight islands, and they´re especially popular with (and indeed, marketed to) couples and…

Shangri-La Springs Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida

Visit Florida Shangri-La Springs, which usually conjures up a fantastical paradise, is actually where the springs that give the city of Bonita Springs its name were first discovered by the Calusa Indians - the first mineral springs spa in North America.- and this 102-year-old hotel with just eight rooms on 8½ acres oozes history and healing inside and out.

Dear Fellow Members

I am creating a report that will be sent to travel experts, architects, designers and hotels and more about boomer requirements for travel. See www.AgelessTraveler.com. I will cover everything from being able to see the menu, to traveling with an older parent, to politeness and anti-ageism of staff. I would welcome any pet peeves, any solutions, any good or poor experiences you can contribute. I am a New York Timeds Age Boom Fellow and also a consultant to hotels,CVBs etc. I think it is time that the industry prepared for boomer travelers. This report is as a result of an artilce BOOMER ROOMER I wrote for Hotel Design Magazine and a speaking presentation at Transform, this summer, a conference on universal design. I learned through my work that the industry is still not up to speed.

Please share your thoughts.

MasterCard reports that U.S. consumers are spending more on "travel categories like hotels and airlines" (NY Times). Are you as surprised as I am?

Great rate for Napa Valley/Sonoma. Our favorite hotel in the area, the Flamingo Resort...a perfectly preserved 1950's "Vegas" style retro resort...has a $99 weekday rate that includes tickets to the Sonoma County Fair. Use the promo code "GRAPE" when making reservations: http://tinyurl.com/274qvn5 .

I've heard of trashy hotels, but I just heard of a hotel in Rome made of recycled trash! Would you stay there??
