How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ready To Find My Ochi!

in Travel on 05/29/15

Grocery lists.

Laundry.

Calendar.

Homework.

Carpool.

It’s my life and I do adore it, but I’m leaving it all behind!

I’ve helped to get the Hubby organized, even though he’s a little bit sad to he couldn’t say yes to this invite come with, and by the end of the week I hope to have found my inner Ochi.

I will be searching for my groove at the official Grand Opening of Sandals Ochi.

Following a multi-million dollar renovation this resort has been completely transformed.  Previously known as Sandals Grande Riviera, the new Sandals Ochi Beach Club has a fresh, modern trendy new look and feel I can’t wait to explore.  Yes my friends, I’m excited to announce that by the end of the day I will be sipping frozen cocktails and Red Stripe, trying out some authentic Jerk Chicken, and applying  a little aloe to my pink nose in the stunning heat of Jamaica.  I’m joining a small group of writers to explore, taste, experience and document all that this gorgeous resort has to offer, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Five days of sunshine, sailing, kayaking, pure pampering and sunbathing?  I’d be lying if I did’t say I was excited about this one.

Think it’s too early to pick out my chaise around the pool?

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
