I am so excited to say that I am all geared up for my second annual trip to the Villa Montana in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.  We stayed in an ocean front, one bedroom villa there just last October (2006) for a long weekend.  We arrived at the resort in 2am and still someone was available to check us in and to personally escort us and our luggage to our room.  Even in the middle ...

Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island is a true, suck em in and bleed em dry resort.  Once you check in, you NEVER have to leave, and if you don't, you sure do pay the price in the form of overpriced food, entertainment, very upscale shopping, the Casino, the list goes on.  But, I LOVED it!  There is so much to do and see and the fact that once you are in you never have to leave...

Jet Blue!  What a relief from all those sky high (pardon the pun) airfares.  For $200 you can hit the Carribbean from NY and back again.  Not too shabby.  Adding to the value is the leg room - more than coach class on any other airline.  And when traveling with kids, the DirectTV is a life saver - for you and the other travelers!I've flown about 20 times with them s...

I love free money!!  I can't think of a better thing at the moment.  And free money to help send your children to college just rocks.This is where Upromise.com comes in to play.  They have been around for almost 10 years now and I cannot believe how many people do not utilize this savings tool.Basically, you register credit cards, grocery cards, 529 plans, etc. with Upromise....

I've always wanted to try some whitening products but was fearful of what they might do to my teeth, gums, afraid of the chemicals, etc.  Not only that, but why the heck are the things so darned expensive!?Anyway, got a free batch of whitestrips so decided my body could take the risk and we'd give them a try.The Listerine white strips dissolve on your teeth so there is no removal.&...
