People often ask me how I get to jet set so often? My answer to them is always the same…I plan most of my trips during “Shoulder Season” (jet setting between peak and off seasons). The weather is good, the crowds are much smaller and the prices are at least 30% lower! Here’s some Jet Set Smart travel ideas for Shoulder Season.

In fact, the beaches are ranked among … Read More »

Puerto Rico- The Shining Star

It’s no wonder Puerto Rico is known as the shining star of the Caribbean…it has great culture, beautiful beaches and delicious food. Yes, I’m Puerto Rican, so maybe that makes me a bit biased. But, I will tell you that everyone I know who is not of Puerto Rican decent and has jet setted there has agreed with me. In fact, Shermans Travel ranks Puerto Rico as one of the best places in the Caribbean for being most affordable, for offering the best all-inclusive trips, for being on the beach by lunch, and as one of the best … Read More »
