Some people might tell you not to visit Port Antonio, Jamaica . They might say that, because of the way storms usually hit the island, Port Antonio is in the worst possible spot it's in the north east, after all, and rain tends to drift in from the east. They might say you're better off sticking...

Speaking as a baby boomer, when I was a kid, Ft. Lauderdale meant one thing - spring break! Like most of us, however, the things we found enjoyable 40 years ago don't quite meet our expectations now. I really don't like staying in a seedy motel, sharing the bed (or the floor) with 5 or 6 other...

Lauderdale is also a great destination for a family vacation, with all sorts of activities for kids, from tots to teens. Adults will find plenty to do, too,...

As much as I love the sugar sand beaches and emerald green waters of Panama City Beach, you couldn't pay me to go there in the spring. As a middle-aged adult (actually, I prefer the term "baby boomer"), I don't wish to spend my vacation surrounded by throngs of scantily-clad teens and...

We fell in love with Maui on our honeymoon, and have had an ongoing romance with the island ever since. Now that we have two small kids and are living on one-third the income we had when we were "DINKs" (Dual Income No Kids), as I am now a stay-at-home mom, and our approach to our Maui vacations...
