Feeling Fabulous in The Golden Zone - Mazatlan Hotels and Nightlife



Mazatlan is a tried and true vacation destination for those looking to party it up. While the climate is hot and the beaches are beautiful, Mazatlan also posesses a certain old world charm, making it a wonderful destination for cultural exploration and laid back style.

 If you're looking for a wild night out, Mazatlan has plenty of spots to drink, dance and be merry. Senor Frog's Mazatlan (the very first Senor Frogs!) is the perfect place to start. The place has almost become a cult following among those looking to have a good time. The party atmosphere is "legendary and every night is something new." Senor Frog's has good food, a good view, good drinks. That's pretty much all you need!



For a more trendy club experience, try Sumbawa, a popular beach themed nightclub where all the young people are bound to be. Who wants to dance the night away on the sand with me? Another classic dance club experience can be found at Bora Bora, where if the floor is too packed (as it usually is) people dance on the bars!

And don't forget about Fiesta Land. It is what it sounds like.  Located at the end of the Golden Zone, this collection of restaurants and clubs offers different styles and music for all tastes. Whether you want to dance to the latest club mixes or sit down for some romantic piano music, Fiesta Land has you covered. 



All that dancing and drinking will no doubt leave you in need of some rest and relaxation. Enjoy a luxury spa experience at the Mazatlan hotel, Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay. The resort boasts a state-of-the-art spa with such signature treatments as the Therapeutic Desert Stone Massage. It's the perfect way to make your fun-filled Mazatlan vacation truly FabTravel. 

Can't Buy Me Love! But You Can Buy Me the Tackiest Wedding Ever

Since it's getting to be wedding season (destination weddings in Cabo anyone?) I just had to share this little gem I found on a blog called Tacky Weddings - teehee! This has less to do with luxury travel and more to do with spending money on awful things. This lovely bride has designed the wedding of her dreams/our nightmare, complete with crop top and skirt wedding dress, Ursula crown and an inappropriately dressed mother. P.S. The bride and groom are 16 and 17. Whatever floats your boat, right?

Top Spring Break Hot Spots for 2009


Spring Break! Woo!

For Spring Break 2009, I expect college students to be taking a nice, relaxing, sun-soaked vacation in their backyards. But if you're still hell bent on having the time of your life, here are the top destinations for Spring Break 2009 (Spoiler Alert: they're the same as every year).

1. Cancun, Mexico
2. Panama City Beach, FL (location of this year's MTV Spring Break 09 thing)
3. South Padre Island, TX
4. Acapulco, Mexico
5. Mazatlan, Mexico
6. Nassau, Bahamas
7. Negril, Jamaica
8. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
9. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
10. Baja (Rosarito Beach, Cabo), Mexico

WOW, Mexico stormed the list! What a suprise! Hey, the party's at where the party's at, right? That was awkward to type. Remember that if you're going to Mexico, you need your passport!

San Diego Vacation Rentals are for Cool People

Looking for a fun, fabulous and unique way to enjoy your vacation? Try a luxury San Diego vacation rental. You can plan a romantic weekend away for two, or an amenity-filled group getaway with your friends. Luxury vacation rentals come with everything you could ever want on a beach vacation - jacuzzi, bbq, swanky beachfront deck, an amazing view and of course San Diego has amazing summer weather.

Imagine waking up in a big comfortable and cozy house - not a teeny, stuffy hotel room - and then strolling right out to the beach for some surfing and sunbathing. Mmm delicious.

Since I'm from San Diego, I have been looking into this whole luxury vacation rental thing quite intensely. It seems to be a very cool way to spend a weekend or a even a whole week!

Penny Realty is the "trusted leader in San Diego vacation rentals" so I've been perusing their listings. They've got some pretty cool looking houses available - I definitely want the one with the cool open air deck and extremely large living room. Did I mention it's right on the beach?

$43,000 Will Buy You Two Dead Birds



Who wants to fork over $43,000 dollars for some roadkill? Roger Vivier says you do! Check out these rockin' robin shoes! Yeah, those are real birds.

Each stuffed bird has a crystal-encrusted head, 24 ct gold-coated mesh, silk, ribbons and crocodile-skin rosettes. Every pair also comes with special protective crocodile or snakeskin platforms that attach to the bottom of the shoes so they never have to come into contact with the ground. You only have to wait three months after you order them, presumably because they need time to hatch and raise the birds before killing and hot glue-ing them to the front of a pair of generic gold shoes. Oh what money can buy!

Vivier does have some other shoes in his 2009 Spring/Summer collection that are quite unique and kinda cute too. If you want to travel in style, definitely consider some of his shoes.
