Now it’s the media bogeyman du jour but there is an AI you need to embrace.
We’ll all remember our own first experiences of an all-inclusive holiday.
Now I’ve never taken for granted all those comped trips around the world.
What I accurately call working assignments but The Scary One tags ‘holidays’.
Although she has been a beneficiary from cruises to ski, Portugal to Germany.
And even George and Amal’s favourite hotel in Amsterdam.
As seductive as all-inclusives are we should always bear in mind local hospitality and go out and enjoy and keep their trade buoyant.
And you’ll never really get the true flavour of the Caribbean by just staying in behind the gilded gates.
Helpfully our friends at Irish travel providers Cassidy feel the same and have guided us to these belters.
Caribbean dream
5* Rui Cancun – Mexico
Now having sampled the Tex-Mex life on my recent travails around San Antonio I now need to delve further south.
