Previously, on Smart Women Travelers, we discussed a fantastic hotel to stay at in the Montego Bay area. The Iberostar Grand Rose Hall provided a great all inclusive base for our Jamaican adventures. But if I’m on vacation, I’m not one to sit around the hotel all day long. There were many adventures to be [...]
Courtyard by Marriott has been redesigning their lobbies around the county. I recently got a chance to visit an updated Courtyard, and the changes were very welcoming. The first thing you’ll notice is a large interactive touchscreen where you can learn about the weather, news, and attractions around town. The seating and decor are all updated [...]
A whirlwind weekend in Jamaica is not enough! I’ve just returned to The States, and I’m already looking at my calendar to pencil in a return visit. The food, the amenities, the activites, and the people were all world class! A few of my favorite things include waking up to a beautiful view of the [...]

Why are you on the road and how often do you travel? I travel for work about once a month because I am a college speaker on Safe Dating. Where else do you like to visit and do you use any travel websites to help you? I LOVE to travel, especially to beautiful warm places, [...]
Why are you on the road and how often do you travel? I currently work for a company called InStyleSwimwear.com, which is an online retailer specializing in designer swimwear, beachwear and accessories.
