The first week of our vacation, we stayed on Lake LBJ in Kingsland. We really loved the location of the Rio Vista Resort, which is two blocks off FM 1431 and waterfront on Lake LBJ. This would be a perfect place if you have a boat or jetski; there were boat docks, including lifts right on the lake. The waterfront cabins, condos and even mobile homes were nice and for rent. The pool and grounds were tropical. Unfortunately, the RV spaces were very close. You can see in the last photograph that we were almost bumping slides with our neighbors. It was a beautiful, clean and quiet location. The couple who owned the resort were nice. We paid $185 for one week for 4-way hookups.

Los Cabos, located in northwest Mexico on the southern part of the Baja California Peninsula, is where the desert meets the sea. Los Cabos includes the cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. These cities are connected by a 4-lane highway, named the “Resort Corridor, which contains miles of white sand beaches, numerous luxury resorts and private villas.

The Los Cabos area is also known for some of the world’s most renowned golf courses. Find the perfect Golf Vacation in Los Cabos including Cabo del Sol, Palmilla and the new El Dorado.

From January to March, watch the gray whales, which migrate each year to the Bahia Magdalena Nature Reserve, the San Ignacio Lagoon and the Soledad y Ojo de Liebre estuaries. Many of the Cabo San Lucas vacation rentals are located on the beach.

Maui is one of the most beautiful of the Hawaiian Islands. While Maui is more developed than all the other islands other than Oahu, it is still possible to find a pristine beach with perfect waves for bodysurfing. Find the Hawaii of your dreams with Maui Vacations.

Many people fly into airport and then drive to Kaanapali, the resort area on the northwest coast. While this is a beautiful area, the lesser known beaches of Maui will amaze you. My favorite beaches are on the west coast of Maui, below Kihea. Makena Beach is a long sandy beach that is best visited during the week. If you must visit on the weekend, look for the pathway to a smaller beach area called Little Beach.

What can you do on Maui? Journey to the summit of Haleakala, the highest peak on Maui and a volcano, for a sunrise to remember. You may also bike down the mountain, passing through several ecosystems on the way down. Bring your winter coat, for it is 10,000+ feet above sea level and cold at the summit.

Situated on the slopes of Haleakala, Lani Nui Ranch offers beautiful two bedroom, 1 bath 1000 sf guest house located on a small secluded 4 acre horse property in Kula.

Explore the Kanaio Sea Caves by raft and snorkel at La Perouse Bay. If you would like to participate in a real undersea adventure, take a ride in an Atlantis Submarine. Nancy Emerson, a former world champion surfer with more than 30 years experience, has created surfing lessons that covers the total surfing experience.

Stay close to the beach at the Hale Hui Kai, a Hawaiian style condominium located on the sunny south shore of Maui, overlooking a spectacular golden sand beach.
