TULUM, Mexico - I was swept off my feet. The white sand, the crystal clear waters. The chic yet understated luxury. The serene location, just far enough from the Tulum scene.
MAUI, HAWAII – After an andrenaline-pumping drive to Hana, you'll need a bite to eat. The best local delicacies are served on styrofoam from roadside luncheonettes. So pull over.
HARBOUR ISLAND, The Bahamas – This is a place to lay in the sand, build a sand castle, dine on conch salad, and contemplate whatever it is you think about when you're barefoot.
NANTUCKET – College kids head to Nobadeer and families with young ones prefer Children's Beach. No matter your mood, there's a place to lay your beach blanket.
TULUM, Mexico – Watch out for eco hotels. They often have no electricity. That means no phone charger, no Internet, and no fans in the heat of the night.
CURAÇAO – What's the local speciality? Iguana stew. We did not partake. Any surprises? The biting bug population wasn't nearly at the level my wife dreaded. It's worse in Brooklyn.
INDIO, Palm Springs – I had heard that a hologram of Tupac would be rapping live on stage with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog closing Coachella. Low and behold, it happened.
TULUM, Mexico – After a bumpy drive down a dirt road, a motorboat took us through nine different ecosystems. (Amazing!) Pristine, untouched, and beautiful nature at its best.
