Janet Loves To Travel

Janet has finally decided to check out Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic to see what her clients have been loving and hating about the area.

One week at the Grand Paradise Bavaro in the all-new Sunquest Select section? should allow her time to enjoy the facilities and take some excursions while verifying the quality of the beach too. After all, Janet’s job is to make sure YOUR vacation destinations measure up to your standards!!

The verdict: I loved it. Magnificent white powdery sand beaches stretched for miles? so I could walk? until my? feet hurt.? A great way to combine exercise and sun! Lots of huge rolling surf to enjoy too. ? All of the travellers I met enjoyed their resorts and experience, including the majority for whom this was not the first trip to Punta Cana.

Escorted Tour Packages

If you think all “bus tours” are the same, you are in for a big surprise. Check out The Fraser Connection and discover what a personally escorted, relaxed pace, small group package tour can be like. No rushing, no early starts or late arrivals, plenty of free time, two, four star locations, and exceptional quality all the way. Each tour takes a maximum of 20 guests, stays two and three nights in each location, has a slow and relaxed pace and is personally escorted by owners Andy & Bev Fraser who have been traveling to these countries for years.

Join us and & celebrate 23 years of Fraser Connection “Untour Tours”

Your Hosts of the Fraser Connection

It was back in 1986 when Andy Fraser traveled to Scotland to set up the first journeys of The Fraser Connection. After many years as a writer and editor, Andy wanted to be able to take people with him and show them the places he loved and cared about rather than just writing about these places. From the beginning, his idea was to keep the groups small, not to rush, and to take time to ‘feel’ and understand the places visited. That concept has been the cornerstone of The Fraser Connection from the beginning.

? ? Janet went to Holguin, Cuba in October 2007.? ? It was lovely!!!! Very hot, lots of sun and gorgeous beach to enjoy. Travel in the off season is worth the risk of hurricanes, in Janet’s opinion.

I stayed at the Occidental? Grand Playa Turquesa. It is a? very large resort with all of the amenities. Golf carts were available to take you around if needed, and I could see why. Some folks would appreciate the walking to alleviate the effects of the terrific food, while others would find it too demanding.

The rooms were huge!! The section I was in contained? a series of buildings, each with 4 or 6 rooms set up above the ground. The rooms had 2 beparate beds plus a daybed? along the wall near the balcony doors. The shower stall was a little slow to drain, but certainly not the slowest I have seen! Large counter area in the bathroom and more than adequate shelving and hanging space in the closest.

The beach was delightful- white powdery sand, several large trees Read the rest of this entry »
