A vacation in San Diego is always good idea, and our stays at the Marriott Vacation Club Pulse have made it even better. This resort is a perfect home base for your San Diego adventures.

If you're heading to Naples, Florida and want to stay somewhere stylish, comfortable, and centrally located, the AC Hotel Naples 5th Avenue is a fantastic choice. We stayed here recently and had such a great experience that I had to share the highlights.

In just a few short hours, we saw more than I ever expected: the Louvre, Notre Dame (we were there for the lunchtime ringing of the bells!), the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, Sacré-Cœur, Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, the Arc de Triomphe, the Panthéon, Shakespeare & Company, and Café de Flore—plus so many charming little corners and quiet streets in between.

Waimea Canyon is often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” but that doesn’t quite capture the feeling of standing at its edge. The layers of red and green stretch for miles, carved by time and water.

The Na Pali Coast of Kauai feels almost otherworldly—a stretch of rugged cliffs, emerald valleys, and hidden sea caves. Experiencing it by boat during golden hour was at the top of our Kauai wish list.

Summer in Kauai has a rhythm all its own. Long days, warm trade winds, and the unmistakable feeling of being on an adventure. It’s the perfect place to bring the whole crew for a meaningful family vacation.

Looking for a peaceful Kauai stay with space to truly unwind? Our multigenerational family trip to Marriott Kauai Lagoons – Kalanipu’u offered just that. From ocean-view breakfasts on the lanai to quiet walks around the bird-filled lagoons, this Marriott Vacation Club resort gave us room to connect, slow down, and savor the island together.

While in Marbella, we took a full-day group tour to visit the Alhambra in Granada—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s most iconic cultural landmarks.

Puerto Banús is Marbella’s answer to all things luxurious—gleaming yachts, polished sports cars, designer boutiques, and a high-energy harbor. It’s a place often described as glitzy, glamorous, and full of nightlife. And it certainly lives up to its reputation.
