Oops, No Amalfi Post. Off to Mexico!




So our post for Amalfi never made it. We returned home and got caught up in the life we call work. In short, Amalfi was amazing. Stay away from Amalfi town and Positano, and try some hidden gems like Atrani. If you're looking to spend some money, the Palasso Sasso hotel has a great restaurant called Rosselinis (2 Michelin stars). Equally, there's some great eats to be had at much more affordable venues, although perhaps with less perfect views. Try finding a room with a great terrace and ordering some pizza and grabbing some local wine. No mistakes here. And for an authentic experience, try the coastal drive at dawn or dusk (photo above). I may or may not be driving on the wrong side of the road.

Now that we've been grounded for 3 months and the snow has finally landed in Southern Ontario, we're heading to Mexico. While I'm not an 'all-inclusive' type of traveler, there's something about the staff in speedos running the pool aerobics class that just doesn't work for me, I've decided to give it a chance .. for my beloved. We're heading to Secrets Maroma Beach on the Mayan Riviera and spending a night at the Meridien in Cancun before returning home.

  1. Have a great time at Maroma...hope the weather cooperates! Suggestions: get a teppanyaki reservation at Himitsu, try the creme brule @ Bordeaux and try the bungee trampoline on the beach.

    Cheers,
