On my first viist to Puerto Rico I instantly fell in love with "Coqui." Their sweet sounds were music to my ears and I sometimes just swayed in a hammock in the evening hours just so I could hear them.

WHAT'S A COQUI?

A Coqui is a common frog in Puerto Rico with more than 16 different species found around the island. Coqui's play an important role by increasing nutrient pools in plant biomass and in litter.
The actual sound "co-kee" comes from a male call that's used to attract female frogs and establish a territory. Their breeding season is from April to October during the wet season in Puerto Rico.

My time in Puerto Rico was magical because I was with my mother on a complimentary stay at a
HYATT resort on Dorado Beach (a perk one gets when working for HYATT). This property is now a Ritz Carlton. It was absolute paradise staying on Dorado Beach, from the fresh brewed coffee in the morning to the early afternoon swim in the pool and ocean, to the delicious authentic dinners in the evening, everything blended together perfectly like a Pina colada. A television show was being filmed on the Dorado Beach property so guests enjoyed a taste of Hollywood during their stay. Dorado means "golden" and the richness of this corner of Puerto Rico doesn't disappoint. Just fifteen miles from the bustling city of San Juan, Dorado has glorious beaches, historic homes, good restaurants, golf courses, and museums.

Modern San Juan excites locals and tourists with bars, casinos, nightclubs, restaurants, and shops while cobblestoned Old San Juan with it's 16th century landmarks and colonial buildings is historical and more relaxed. San Juan is a good place to embark on a excursion to El Yunque National Forest and other popular attractions.

PUERTO RICO is known as the "Island of Enchantment" so why not book a trip soon and get enchanted with this friendly and warm Caribbean island.

Incredible India (Southern India)

INDIA'S landscape is quite diverse and large that's why is best to divide time between South India and North India. Whether traveling by car, plane, or train INDIA is an exotic country filled with history and natural wonders.  Southern India has a lot to offer and there's no better place to begin a journey through India then in Kerala and its backwaters. With the Arabian Sea to the west and Western Ghats to the east plus a network of 44 rivers, Kerala is surrounded by water practically everywhere. Kerala is blessed with a nice climate, a long shoreline, beautiful beaches, exotic wildlife, and tropical forest

When the daily stresses of work, family, and responsibilities get overwhelming a few days or even weeks on a relaxing Caribbean island can restore the senses  and make worries seem a million miles away.  The Caribbean is known for it's abundance of palm trees, pure sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and beautiful islands. Each island has it's own uniqueness and you really can't go wrong with any of the islands that make up the Caribbean. I never had much opportunity to explore the Caribbean until I st

It is home to more archaeological museums than any other country in the world and offers plenty of ancient history, amazing cuisine, culture stimulation, incredible breath-taking beaches, sunny weather, and warm hospitality. Athens, the largest city has a lot to offer but when it comes to a relaxing vacation even the residents of Athen head to one of the Greek Islands to relax and de-stress.

Originally called Hellas, the country known for its Gods and Goddesses; Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Hera, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite and more draws millions of visitors from around the globe. Everyone should visit Greece at least once in their lifetime.  To enjoy the perfect Greek vacation fly or take a ferry to your island of choice
