You can easily follow the map to get from one tree to the next even if you are unfamiliar with the parks layout. We personally started in Islands of Adventure and if you have a Park to Park ticket like we did, you can easily go between parks through a small walk way they had set up in Seuss Landing or on the Hogwarts Express. You can also walk into CityWalk and obtain your two stamps in between visiting both parks which is what we did. 

The trees are specifically themed for each area of the park you are in when you find them. Our favorite tree from Islands of Adventure was the Grinch themed tree found in the Mulberry Street Store. Our favorite holiday tree in Universal Studios Florida was the SpongeBob SquarePants tree found in the SpongeBob StorePants store. Please enjoy the photos of the trees as we found them along the way below.

We had a great time running around trying to find the trees and reviewing all the detail on them, they are really neat to look at. We love the ornament we received at the end because we will always have that special souvenir that will remind us of our adventure in Universal Orlando for Christmas 2020. This event is happening until January 3rd, 2021.

Airport transfers are included in any stay 4 days or more and are provided by some of the most luxurious vehicles (by the way, Le Blanc Spa Resort is an adults only all inclusive property). It is just a quick 20-30 minute drive from the airport to the resort. On the way to the hotel we were in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter type van and headed back to the airport we were in a Cadillac SUV, feeling like a VIP all the way. 

The whole property here at Le Blanc is stunning. I love the natural scenery they have scattered around as well as the view of the mountains here on the dramatic coast of Mexico. There are several large pools including an infinity pool overlooking the beach, as well as many lounge and relaxation areas featuring swings, daybeds and cabanas. Like most other resorts in this area, they do not have a swimmable beach. If you want to be able to swim during your vacation you can visit Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun. 

The property here at dusk is lit with thousands of twinkle lights, candles, lanterns and outdoor fire pits that create such a beautiful ambience. They also have fantastic entertainment during the evening as well for those that like to enjoy a good night out. 

Please take a moment to enjoy the property tour video below we have created from our stay on property. 

The spa was amazing. I loved the water journey as well as the hydrotherapy before my deep tissue massage. I also really enjoyed having a spa butler to aid me in the hydrotherapy and water journey correctly and explain why I was doing what I was doing. You can take advantage of them as well when you book a spa treatment, otherwise you can pay to utilize it. 

This trip to Le Blanc was one of our favorites to date. We had one complaint, and that is now that we have been so spoiled we are having trouble enjoying ourselves at other hotels we visit! If you want to be spoiled too, let one of our Starstuff Travel Planners help you today by clicking here. 

When you are traveling to an airport out of the country that you have never been to before, wouldn't it be nice to have a friend greeting you and instructing you what the procedures are and what to expect next? Well, that can actually be done when traveling to Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport (as well as Kingston airport). 

When we arrived into Montego Bay our Club Mobay rep met us right outside of where we deplaned holding a sign with our name on it. It was so calming to know we had someone awaiting our arrival and that she was so easy to find holding a sign with our name on it. She then explained we needed to get our temperature taken and then had to proceed to a quick health screening. After the health screening she walked us to the customs area and once we were cleared she brought us to the Club Mobay Lounge. They normally have snacks out for the taking but since we are in the middle of a pandemic they will come and take your snack and drink order. They also offer complimentary wifi for those who want to get some work done before heading off to their vacation. Afterwards our rep checked us into our transportation and we were on our way to our resort.

Upon our departure to head home, we checked into the Fast Track check in desk once we were all checked into our airline. They gave us a ticket and advised that after security screening head to the lounge which is across from gate 12. The lounge here also offers an unlimited open bar and many food options. It is large, with many flat screen t.v.s and places to charge up your electronics. Again, also offering complimentary wifi to check on your emails if you decide to head back to reality a little early.

For the price, the value is incredible. We highly recommend utilizing the service they offer round trip. The only downside is they do not offer this everywhere we travel!

I could tell you about the beautiful Seven Mile Beach with white powdery sand and crystal turquoise waters. The dramatic sunsets, the many different room categories, the relaxing soaking tubs, but what we learned here during our time at Sandals Negril is that, in the end, it's the people here that actually make your time special. 

From the time we reached the Sandals lounge at the airport, till the time we headed back, the staff at the property treated us like we were family members. They remember your name, they remember what you like to drink, and they really take the time to get to know you which makes you feel like your the only one on vacation at this property!

There was never a time we came across someone that was having a bad day or did not treat us like we were a guest in their home. It is that special touch you can only find at Sandals and Beaches resorts. The treatment you receive when your on vacation here is comprable to no other. 

They also have phenomenal entertainment on property. I mean, the kind of entertainment you would pay money for back home. They spare no expense to keep guests here happy, relaxed and entertained. The events team here works hard and you can appreciate all that they do. 

If you are looking for a complete experience and not just a room on the beach, than a Sandals/Beaches vacation is for you. These people truly care about your time here, they are going to look after you like you have never seen before on your time away. When you leave your not just sad your vacation is ending, your disappointed to leave your new friends. This shows you why there are so many repeat guests that come back year after year. ​

On Sunday October 18th, 2020 TSA (Transportation Security Administration) screened over 1 million passengers for the day. TSA had not screened this many passengers on a single day since March 17th, 2020. This shows the travel industry is headed in the right direction with many people feeling safer to fly than in previous months. While this aids the industries rebound, it is still going to take a lot of education to ensure those who are weary, that it is in fact, safer than ever to "Fly the Friendly Skies". 

Recently the Department of Defense completed the most comprehensive study on aircraft airflow that has ever been conducted in history and determined the risk is almost non existent even during a full flight. Research showed that on average .003% of infected particles crossed into your breathing zone and 99.99% of them were filtered out of the cabin within six minutes. Incredibly, this research showed that the inside of an aircraft cabin is one of the safest indoor environments in the whole entire world.

In an additional study conducted by The International Air Transport Association (IATA), they found only 44 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were caught on a flight from among the 1.2 billion people that flew between January and July this year. That translates to one case for every 27.3 million flyers. This study proves you have a better chance of getting struck by lightening than you do catching the disease on a flight with the combination of wearing a mask and the constant airflow through high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that are keeping cabins safe. 

Here is a great video United Airlines put together to educate the public on how they conducted their study and what their findings were. 

If you would also like to read more about the research The International Air Transport Association (IATA) conducted, you can find additional information on their study by clicking here. In todays world it is more important than ever to stay educated on real-time studies and factual based information.
