El Dorado Hotel Old House RestaurantHidden throughout the United States are cities that many consider timeless.  These cities are home to hand-built cobblestone streets, churches that display the craftsmanship of artisans long passed, and markets and businesses that have withstood the test of time.  One of North America’s oldest cities, founded in 1610, is hosting its 20th annual culinary tribute to wine and chile. In the heart of America’s oldest capital, the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta partners with several hotels, restaurants and vineyards to celebrate its two-decade love of this uniquely Southwestern pairing.

Containing one of the three largest art markets in the country, Santa Fe has all the markings of a cultural and culinary destination with various museums, grandiose churches and festivals scheduled throughout the year. The fiesta is a week-long celebration of food, wine and the tastes of the southwest. Throughout the festival, participants will visit various hotels and restaurants where chefs will present them with lavish meals and hand-picked wines to pair.  This year marks the 20th annual festival and the celebration will last from September 22nd through 26th. More than 200 restaurants located in Santa Fe, the Eldorado Hotel & Spa and its own recently renovated The Old House restaurant will play host to several Wine and Chile Fiesta events.  Read more

Secrets Wild Orchid Resort JamaicaJamaica has a new all-inclusive luxury resort that’s just opened in Montego Bay promising “Unlimited-Luxury” for their guests.  Secrets Wild Orchid and Secrets St. James sit side by side on a lovely stretch of beach just a short journey from the airport.   It’s time to let the Secrets out – these are beautiful properties!

I’m just back from the first-ever Travel Bloggers Meet-Up in Jamaica where we were hosted by Secrets Resorts and the Jamaican Tourism Board.  You can be sure we took full advantage of all the Unlimited Luxury and tested all the resort amenities – on YOUR behalf of course!  Here are some of the delights in store for you when you choose to vacation at  Secrets in Jamaica.

Wild Orchid Beach
Resort Amenities:  These properties are all about couples and providing romantic landscapes.  Both resorts are adults-only with plenty of waterside activities – gorgeous beaches, swim up bars, multiple pool complexes, and seaside restaurants.  The beach towels and loungers are plentiful (no need to get up a dawn and claim your lounge chair – I hate that!!)   This property has done it right with loads of areas for relaxing by the pools and beachfront.  Read more

MomondoMomondo, Europe’s fastest growing travel booking site, should be on your short list of websites to use when making travel arrangements no matter what country you live in. In recent flight pricing standoffs, Momondo took top spot for consistently delivering the lowest fares.  Not only do they search for the least expensive flights using twice the number of sources as other meta search sites, their search results automatically compare the cost of a flight versus the cost of taking the train. Momondo is the only travel booking engine that includes train schedules and pricing in the search results, making it easy to compare travel options for cost, convenience, timeliness and ecological impact.

For folks traveling within Europe where train travel is often more convenient than flying, this search service is groundbreaking. In the Northeast corridor of the USA, where Amtrak’s high-speed Acela trains are prevalent, travelers can now search both airline and train options with one query. Read more
