    Maybe many of the old contributors are still finding it difficult to navigate this new set up. I know it is difficult for me.
  6. I am sensing a reduction of participants in the VIP Community
  7. I'm not ready to cast my final vote.....I think the IT guys have a good deal of work to do on this transition. Once thing for certain, participation has dropped dramatically...possibly from inability to use the new community or just a lack of interest with the changes....

Keeping it Weird - and Delicious - in Austin

by omegaet on 05-12-2013 at 03:07 PM

We decided to arrive in Austin, the day before the Luxury Link Social Experience, just to get a taste.....how can you not be intrigued by a city whose unofficial motto is: Help Keep Austin Weird?

Due to severe weather in South Florida, we got a late start and late arrival. By the time we picked up a rental car and drove into town, we arrived at the W Austin Hotel around midnight. Considered going directly to our room and crashing, but the vibes emanating from

No Time To See Everything

by omegaet on 02-25-2013 at 04:04 PM
8 Comments
Our trip to western Belize was brief, only four nights, and we wanted to cover a lot of ground, as well as fit in some rest and relaxation time. Highest priority was a day trip over to Guatemala and spend as much time as possible exploring the partially excavated ruins of Tikal.

So, we selected
Ka'ana Boutique Resort near San Ignacio as our base, providing excellent proximity to Guatemala and to a number of nearby Mayan ruins and 'active' excursion possibilities.

Rolling the Dice - and Winning Big Time! - in Belize

by omegaet on 02-14-2013 at 05:54 PM
8 Comments
When we first read the Business Week article and the comments attributed to the Hannan brothers (especially #2), we wondered if Ka'ana Boutique Hotel would be the right 'fit' for our weekend in Belize.

We decided to give a go!

Here are some observations:

● The rooms and suites air conditioned, while most (if any) other resorts in western Belize are not (OK, we could be more sensitive to the environment and deal with open screened

Packing for a Purpose in Belize

by omegaet on 02-01-2013 at 02:25 PM
5 Comments
We booked a short trip to western Belize and secured reservations at Ka'ana Boutique Resort for a quick four-night break.

While searching their web site for possible excursion ideas, we noticed the resort is a participant in Pack For A Purpose. We exchanged several emails and spoke with the resort's reservations manager Patricia Rodriguez regarding their project school. We asked her to contact the school directly in order to narrow down the list of

Sometimes - We Just Dig In

by omegaet on 01-14-2013 at 03:48 PM
6 Comments
No matter how often we travel, no matter where we go, regardless of the level of luxury accommodations and culinary extravagances available.....

We just feel compelled to find a pizza joint (which is not always easy in some destinations) and dig right into a really well done pie!
