Where Rachel Has Traveled
Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Grenada, Aruba, Punta Cana, Cancun, the Bahamas and Alaska, plus sailings with Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean.
Rachel’s Favorite Trip
Sandals Grenada: a butler room, the Sky Pool, the view and the people. Jim is usually itching to head home by day six, but this was the first trip he didn’t want to leave after seven nights.
Rachel’s Insider Tip
Staying at Disney’s Polynesian or Grand Floridian? Walk to the Transportation and Ticket Center to catch the monorail to EPCOT instead of riding the resort monorail there first. It saves so much time.
