Yucatán, Mexico


Whats better than booking a holiday to lay on the beach for a whole week.
Well there are two types of holidays in Yucatán.

First the "Party it up" and enjoy the sun day and party it by night!
Or
Second type a holiday with the family and packages to visit and enjoy historical sites.

I had the great opportunity to visit Cancun, Yucatan, Mexico. And I mixed the two types. I must say I barely slept but it was worth every minute.

If you're going with family the Resort I would Recommend is Fairmont Mayakoba - Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Mayan.

If your planning for a spring Break and not sure where to go.

The best resort in Cancun is the Oasis Cancun It is the biggest party resort in Mexico. Offering packages that are definitely worth the visit.

The resort offers all you can eat and drink with 7 night rooms plus free shuttles to the clubbing strip. During the day there are different restaurants providing a variety of Breakfast and lunch choices from Mexican to Japanese food.

On the beach there are activities such as free salsa classes and yoga.
The atmosphere and the people are tons of fun if your willing to join!

If your planning to party I recommend find a Cancun Club Package. Its cheaper than hitting every club and paying an entrance. Not only is the club package cheaper you get all inclusive all you can drink and get to sit at the VIP as well as get informed where and what days are the best clubs during the week.

At the clubs there are many performances such as Acrobats, Artists, Musicians and dancers.

There are Bikini and a ton of fun competitions.

If your up for site seeing you wont regret visiting the historical places around the Mayan Riviera.


MUST SEE IN Yucatán:

Chichen Itza - Mayan temple during the time of the Mayan Civilzation

Uxmal- Built Three Times is also a ruin from the Mayan Civilization

Hacienda Xixim- I was told is a magical cave and if you swim in the water you will cured from any illness. Beautiful cave. a little chilly.

Museo de Antropologia e Historia
- a Museum with interesting Artifacts such as jewelery and skulls

Tulum is a unique walled city right on the ocean.

Its a great place to visit. At least once in life time :O)

Toronto Dinning


Toronto is one of the most exciting cities I've ever been to. Depending on how you feel there are many different things you could do to keep you entertained or busy. Below are a variety of dining spots.

Breakfast spots:
My Favourite is a place on Yonge and Dundas called: 1.
Eggspectation They make the best Eggs Benedict I've had in the whole world.
2. Cora's a great place to have a plate of pancakes and fresh fruits. If I'm feeling on the healthy side I always hit Cora's.
3. If its Brunch there is only once place on Sunday that is a must. They serve eggs to roast to fresh fruits and a to die for Chocolate Fountain. Bloor Street Diner its right on Bloor and Bay. They also make delicious Salads for lunch.
4. If you're looking for an all day breakfast I 100% recommend Frans. Its Fast its open 24/7 except on certain holidays. They also serve hamburgers, nachos, milkshakes its your 50's diner!

There are many spots in Toronto but these are my recommendations.

Best Burger
Nothing beats a fresh made Burger right from the Butcher. Kensington Market right on Spadina and College has one of the best and affordable Burgers. Its at the Kensighton Meat Market. They're closed on Sundays. But they make killer Burgers, Hotdogs, Steak Sandwiches.

Sushi
Toronto has amazing Sushi Spots but if you are looking for a recommended spot its Hiro Sushi on 171 King St E. They make delicious Spicy Tuna and California Rolls.
If you're up for all you can eat. There's this great spot on the Danforth that I can't resist and go back to its called Katsu Sushi they serve everything for a great bargain. Sushi, teryaki, tempura, salads, soups.

If its Tepenyaki your craving and you got a special occasion. Yamato Japanese Restaurant on 18 Bellair Street.

If you're feeling for French I love Amuse Bouche Restaurant or SASSAFRAZ its a get away into France.

Nothing beats a delicious Steak and a glass of Red Wine. RUTH'S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE will make your mouth melt. And send you home satisfied.

When I'm craving for one of my favourite fast sandwiches which I only find in Greek Town on Danforth and Chester. Gyros. The best I've ever had even better than I've had in Greece are at Massini's. Mmm. Chicken Gyros are so good.

Sometimes I just want to sit down and have a beer and Sweet potato fries the place to definately try is Hemingways in Yorkville.


Fresh Smoothies
I just love Fresh juices or smoothies. Papaya Hut on Yonge and Wellesley has the Best in all of Toronto.

Arabic

Paramount Fine Foods is located in Mississauga has fantastic breads and Lebanese foods that I can say is really good. Its really difficult to find good Shawarmas in Toronto that can be close to the real thing. Well there is one spot on Yonge that makes great Shawarmas. Its called Wrab and Grap

Korean BBQ
There are tons of Korean BBQ spots all over T.O today. The authentic and original spot started on 214 Queen st. Korean Grill House. They give you the real stuff and not pieces of remains that you really don't want to be ingesting.

Thai
If your a big fan of Patthai like I am. I absolutely love Springrolls. There are many locations from Queen St. to Yonge. They even deliver. yum

Wings and Ribs
You can't go wrong at All Star Wings & Ribs it has tons of varietys of sauces and flavours they gets you drooling for.

Well here are some spots for the moment. I think I'm going to make myself something to eat after thinking of all the great spots to eat.

Enjoy.
