This guest post is by Julie Q of JQ Lounge. Julie and I go way back. A long time ago when I thought that Boston bloggers were few and far between I went to a meetup and found out that I was way off. Julie is one of those people that can get along with anyone. When I embarked on that first meetup a few years ago, I’ll never forget how my nervousness and fear of meeting strangers at a bar, alone, melted as we talked. Julie is poignantly observant. She’s witty, fun and just plain hilarious – and so is her blog. Do you read JQ Lounge? You should.

When Susan asked me to write a guest post for her at the beginning of the summer, it took me all of 4 seconds before I responded ‘Yes, of course I’ll write a post, and I already have the topic!’ Sure I’ve done a little bit of traveling to fun cool places… like Cabo San Lucas, San Francisco, London, Toronto, Charleston, SC… but no… there was a place where Susan would probably never conquer on her travels. And that place is Sandals.
We first went to Sandals on our Honeymoon 4 years ago, and then earlier this year we went for a winter getaway and to celebrate the Mr’s birthday. It was an easy sell.
Direct flights under 3 hours, sun, sand, all inclusive and last but not least.. pool bar(s).
Sandals is the perfect place for a luxurious getaway where you don’t have to plan a thing. They take care of everything for you!
There are many different restaurants to choose from, whether you’re feeling like some Hibachi, Italian, Omelets, Caribbean or Burgers and fries.. your wish is their demand.
If you want to hang out with just your honey bunny all week, or make friends with people who live halfway around the world, Sandals works lovely either way.
If your idea of relaxing is sitting next to a pool but still being able to see the ocean water, this is SO your spot.
Maybe you want to bump into some Bachelor couples? Done and done.
Obviously it doesn’t grant you the adventure of exploring a new location like one would usually do, but for many, it’s just fabulous.
I’ve been to 2 different Sandals resorts, and cannot wait to go back. Will I plan my dream trip to Greece someday where I will have to actually plan ahead the different sites we want to hit up? Of course… but it’s fun to mix it up!
And Congrats to Susan and Mike! May they have many wonderful travels together as husband and wife.
and just when i was ready for fall, i’m completely back on the poolside cocktail train. thanks, girls.
What Susan also left out is how the first night we met we ended up 2 towns over at Margaritas in the late hours of the night, trying to stand up, chat and sip our fancy margaritas
EPIC NIGHT! CONGRATS SUSAN! Can’t wait to hear about your trip and the wedding!
thanks Julie for making me want to hop on an immediate flight to any sandals destination! I think Sandals should make you their official blogger
Looks awesome!!!
We usually go on adventurous vacations, but I kindof want to go on one where we sit by a pool and I sip fruity cocktails.
