Mallorca - the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands - offers a wide range of scenery, from fertile plains to mountain peaks plus culture. Great shopping and gorgeous beaches complete the picture. It is easy to see why it is such a very popular European holiday destination. Mallorca airport is modern, efficient and huge - it is a long way from the gate to the baggage claim!

So how do you get away from the typical tourist bustle and enjoy a quiet relaxing
time, yet be close to the center of things in Mallorca? - Stay at the Bon Sol Hotel.
This hotel, highly recommended by close friends, is located in Illetas just five
kilometers from downtown Palma. Illetas was once a small town on it’s own but has
now been enveloped by growing Palma urbanization. The hotel is spread into many
sections over seven levels that are serviced by pretty pathways and an excellent
system of elevators. The common areas are endless and outstanding with unique
eclectic decorations that date from medieval to modern times and provide a warm
and friendly environment that effectively encourages relaxation. There are several
Knights in Armor posted at strategic locations on guard for the guests.

The hotel is family owned and run by Lorraine and Martin Xamena, who represent
the second generation. They are hands on managers and are always guiding the
hotel with friendly efficiency, complemented by an attentive staff, most of who have
been at the Bon Sol for many years. The web site is located at: www.ila-
chateau.com/bon_sol/

The Bon Sol is nestled into a hillside in a small cove giving it wonderful privacy with
a very small but cozy private beach. The beach is complemented by four pools at
various levels from the beach to the main hotel. There is also more than adequate
sun worshipping equipment and tons of shade for those who prefer it. The
architecture is best appreciated from the sea and gently blends the hotel into its
landscape without attempting to dominate it.

There are two active bars and two restaurants - one pair by the beach and one up
the hill at the main hotel level. The food is excellent and there is lots of it! We chose
the modified American plan - breakfast is buffet style with an excellent egg station,
plenty of fruit and a good selection of breads and pastries. Dinner offers a different
menu each night and they will accommodate your wishes if you prefer ordering off
the menu.

The 92 rooms are each unique, but all are large, have good bathrooms, excellent
views, with a balcony or terrace. There are 28 villas for families or more extended
stays.

Most of the guests are frequent visitors - in fact, the opening line when you meet
someone new in one of the elevators, or in line for a breakfast omelet is ‘Have you
been here before?” The answer is usually yes. This is the best recommendation of
all!

For something completely different take a drive into the mountains - the roads are
good and the views are outstanding. Visit Valldemosa, Deia, Port de Soller and
Andratx - it is a fun and easy day trip.

That’s the intent of this article, to wake up some ideas in your head, and plan for things to do in Florida and any of your travels.

When we venture down to Florida or anywhere for that fact of the matter, we first figure out what activities we definitely don’t want to miss. Here is our list of favorite things to do on vacation

1. Sit on the beach and play in the ocean. This is a no brainer. We love to walk the beach, bathe in the sun, play in the waves, and watch the beautiful people.

What types of things do you do on your vacation? What activities do you have planned? Do you relax, go active, or a little of both?

2. Play golf. Golf is a great game. There are excellent golf courses all over the world to choose from and you can even plan an entire golf vacation.

3. Go fishing. Deep sea fishing or fishing from a pier is a blast. If you have never done this try it once, you’ll love it.

4. Other sporting activities like scuba, snorkeling, water skiing, parasailing, renting jet skis, or whatever. There are a ton of water activities to choose from.

5. Day trips and tours are awesome choices. Rent a boat for the day. Take a barefoot cruise. Venture over to Orlando and go to Disney World or any theme park. Dinner cruises, exploring, hiking, tours at local sites, and anything else that you can think of.

6. Go shopping! Yes, the ladies will love this one and probably already have it planned. I hate to shop, but it is actually fun when I am on vacation. It wears me out though. Take some extra money and visit the local shops, find souvenirs, and spend some of that hard-earned money.

7. Drive around. We have rented convertibles or motorcycles for a couple of days and just explored the area. One time, we went from Miami to Key West and spent the day there. Another time, we traveled up the A1A highway along the Atlantic Coast of Florida, enjoying the luxurious homes, yachts, and views. You can even do this as a weekend getaway. Find a cool spot that’s only 6 hours or less away and take off. We always have fun doing this.

8. Take in local entertainment, events, restaurants, and such. Go dancing, find the best watering holes, do something romantic, party likes its 1999. Remember, you are on vacation and it’s time to have some fun and do stuff you don’t usually get to do at home.

The list is as endless as your imagination. These are just a few general ideas that we always plan on doing. Be creative and try new things.

Enjoy your trip, have a good time, and tell us your stories!!!
