I'm here, ready to help you with your wedding day.

LET'S START THE PROCESS

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Caribbean 
Beach

CURRENCY - DOMINICAN PESO


With its stunning coastline. An ideal place to soak up the sun. If you enjoy Merenque music then this is a great place to get your dancing shoes on.


BEACHES

Perfect for a beach lover. You can enjoy white sandy beaches with beautiful turquoise waters.


RESORTS

I stayed in Punta Cana, which is a resort town. You will find quality all inclusive resorts with golf courses.


SAFARI 

Travel in a safari truck and head out to the countryside to see how the locals live, visit a school, a basilica, go horse riding, try some locally produced coffee or hot chocolate and go to Macao beach. 


If you are daring enough, you can have your picture taken on the beach with an iguana. I passed on that one. 

Lunch is included in the tour to enjoy some local cuisine.

CURRENCY - EASTERN CARIBBEAN DOLLAR


Grenada has an extra special place in my heart as both my parents were born in this beautiful island, so it is definitely home away from home. Known as the Spice Isle, due to the abundance of spices found on the island including Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Mace and Turmeric to name a few.   


The Capital of Grenada is St Georges and it boasts of a Picturesque harbour called the Carenage. Whilst in St Georges visit Fort George. You will be able to take in some great views of the island. Visitors have the choice of over 40 beaches to choose from. The most famous is Grand Anse Beach, which I adore.   


GRAND ETANG LAKE

I love this lake as it is peaceful and serene. Popular area for hiking and trekking. There are also walking trails too.  


RUM FACTORIES

A visit to the Caribbean without having a shot of rum is like an oxymoron. There are three rum factories in Grenada. River Antoine Rum Distillery, Clarke's Court Rum Factory and Westerhall Estate LTD . They all offer tours and tastings.   


WATERFALLS

There are a number of waterfalls in Grenada but the main two are the 

Concorde Falls and the Annandale Falls 

ST LUCIA

CURRENCY - EASTERN CARIBBEAN DOLLAR


Known for their wildlife and nature. St Lucia is famous for its  iconic Piton mountains, Gros Piton and Petit Piton.  It has lush rainforests and colourful coral reefs. Castries is the islands capital.


GROS ISLET STREET PARTY

This takes place every Friday. A great atmosphere where locals and tourists enjoy the culture and local cuisine.


PIGEON ISLAND NATIONAL LANDMARK 

This landmark is a mix of history and scenery.  There is a museum here. You can go out in a small boat to enjoy the views, as well as snorkel.

A nice day out. 


RAINFOREST ADVENTURES

You choose your adventure. 

 1) Ariel Tram  2) Zip lining,  3) Adrena-Line canopy tour

 3) Hiking trail or 4) Walking trail

I chose to do the Ariel tram. You are accompanied by a tour guide who gives you an insight into the trees, birds and animals found on the island.


SOUFRIERE LAND AND SEA TOUR

A day excursion which gives you the opportunity to discover St Lucia by land and sea. Including  views of the Pitons, visit to the sulphur springs, sail on a catamaran and snorkel and swim whilst at sea.

TOBAGO

Tobago

CURRENCY -  TRINIDAD & TOBAGO DOLLAR


Tobago is an island within the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is the smaller island of the two. Known for its sandy beaches, tropical forests and diving sights. 


GLASS BOTTOM BOAT 

 It is a good opportunity for those that do not want to venture into the ocean but would like to see the underwater world of the beautiful Buccoo Reef. This gives you the opportunity to see the  colourful fish, whilst in the boat through the glass.


SNORKELLING/SCUBA DIVING

 If this is your thing,  the coral and marine life were a sight to behold. My only regret was not having an underwater camera. 


NO MANS LAND 

Beach Barbeque and rum punch party with Calypso and Soca music as well as limbo dancing. 


NYLON POOL

This is an in sea shallow white coral pool. Located off Pigeon Point and accessible by boat. As you journey to the pool you take in a picturesque view.  

When you arrive and step out the boat, the water reaches about your waist. It is a mind blowing experience as you are surrounded by water and in the middle of  the ocean. 

Another fabulous experience.

South Africa

Culinary Experiences

CAPE TOWN

The capital of South Africa. This city has a lot of history. 

You can enjoy the finest wines and if you are a foodie the culinary experiences will not disappoint.


ROBBIN ISLAND MUSEUM

You take a ferry from the Victoria and Albert Waterfront  to get to the island. 

When you arrive, you are given a guided tour of  the prison that the late Nelson Mandela 

was imprisoned in, as well as his cell. The prison was used by the South African 

Apartheid era government to lock up civil rights and political activists that opposed the government.

Very interesting tour.


TABLE MOUNTAIN

The cable car to the top of the mountain offers  lovely views en route to the mountain top. 

Once you've reached the top  you have a 360 view  of the city which is both stunning and memorable.

There are trekking trails through the Table Mountain National Park.


WINERIES

If you are a wine connoisseur there are numerous wineries to choose from. 

I really enjoyed the La Petite Ferme winery. The views whist having lunch were gorgeous.

Sightsee

NEW YORK

Often referred to as The Big Apple or NYC. New York is made up of 5 boroughs which includes Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx and Staten Island. 

Whether you want to sightsee, go to a Broadway theatre show, visit an art gallery or go shopping, you will not be short of things to do. The New York City Subway typically operates 24/7 which makes exploring easy. I would suggest planning your journey prior to venturing out. Whether that be on your phone or obtaining directions from the hotel concierge, as once you are on the subway the carriages do not always display maps and details of the subway stops.  


PLACES & POINTS OF INTEREST

Broadway, Brooklyn Bridge, Canal Street, Central Park, Empire State Building, Flea Market, Greenwich Village, Meat Packing District, Statue of Liberty, The High Line, Staten Island Ferry, Time Square and Rockefeller Center. 


ROOSEVELT ISLAND 

Take the Roosevelt Tram to get to the island from Manhattan. The tram ride takes you about 250ft above the city, so you can enjoy the views of the city on your journey to the other side. For only the cost of a subway ride each way, which is just under $3. Ensure you have your camera ready to take great views of the New York skyline whilst on the island.  


SIGHTSEEING CRUISE

90-minute cruise of the must-see sights of the city. Option to do a Downtown or Midtown cruise.   


TOP OF THE ROCK OBSERVATION DECK 360 view of the concrete jungle. Indoor and outdoor viewing options.

Home of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge across the San Francisco Bay. This city has so much to offer. There are bike rental shops throughout the city. If you enjoy bike riding there is endless opportunities to do so.  Whilst in the city you should try a Sourdough bread bowl soup from Boudin. Also try Saltwater Taffy.

Alcatraz Island, China Town, Coit Tower, Ferry Building, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Lombard Street, Pier 39 and Union Square. 


 CABLE CAR

No trip to San Francisco would be complete without a ride on a Cable Car. Be prepared that according to the time of day you may have to queue for a while to get

 on one.  


FERRY 

Why not go on a bike ride to Sausalito, have lunch and take the ferry back.   


SHOPPING

If you love to shop you will be in shopping heaven in San Fran. There are many shopping options on Market Street including a Westfield Shopping Centre and  around Union Square.  


VISITOR PASSPORT

The San Francisco Metro company Muni offer a 1, 3 and 7 day visitor passport. It allows you to travel unlimited on public transport.  You can use the passport on Cable Cars, Historic Street Cars, Muni and Muni Metro.  It is a cost-effective way to explore the city.
