Travelling is great fun! You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our new section, planes, trains & automobiles!

Where did you choose to go and why?

After extensive research, I went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for my honeymoon and it really was the best vacation of my life! We wanted to go somewhere unique and exotic. It was the perfect getaway, with serene beaches, great nightlife and amazing food! There's a reason it's ranked globally as one of the top honeymoon destinations. Also, we got married in January and really wanted to escape the cold.

Where did you stay?

We stayed at Las Ventanas, A Rosewood Resort in Cabo, the property itself is breathtaking and the beach front villa was to die for!! It is one of the best resorts I've visited, the seclusion and privacy unparalleled, the amazing staff especially the private butlers makes you feel like royalty and it truly is a piece of paradise. The infinity pool is incomparable and the spa services are heavenly! The resort itself has four amazing restaurants that we couldn't get enough of.

Who did you travel with?

With my husband, Ali, of course! He is the one who had the What are there best shopping spots idea of going to Mexico for our honeymoon there?

Shopping in Cabo is really about exploring Mexico's cul-

Handle any outstanding legal matters or kick off new projects at the beginning of the week. A proactive approach to all aspects of your life can lead to serious progress now. Around Thursday and Friday, the universe asks you to read between the lines and go beyond the obvious. A little solo contemplation is very fruitful as well — look within and discover the source of your current state of mind and heart. When the weekend comes, you’re all fired up, and meeting new people is a grand idea. You might just make a great connection.

The universe may provide something that jolts you out of your routine at the beginning of the week, and if not, you might think about mixing it up yourself.

Go someplace new; get a different point of view. You may feel unusually vulnerable or moody around Thursday and Friday, and it’s important to pinpoint the source of this sensitivity or these emotions. Do something physical, too; it will help you destress and get grounded. You might walk to work, go to yoga or try kickboxing. This weekend, wrapping others around your little finger is remarkably easy, so choose whom you exercise your charm on with care.

Two heads are better than one at the beginning of the week — get a partner, a friend or a coworker in on whatever you’re trying to accomplish. Having fun with it makes forward motion easy, and they can help keep you on task. Around Thursday and Friday, listen to what your physical being is telling you. Attending to your health is important now, and your body’s likely trying to send you a message about what it needs. It looks like there’s an action-packed weekend ahead, with relationships highlighted. A connection can be taken much deeper if you want to go there.

Home may not be the tranquil oasis you’d like at the beginning of the week. Maybe a relationship there needs attention, or maybe it’s just the housework … whatever it is, a proactive attitude on your part is better than a passive one. Around Thursday and Friday, however, you take a wait-and-see approach.

Consulting a mentor, whether from the work or personal realm, prior to making a decision is an excellent idea. This weekend, your instinct to take care of others is strong, but you also need to nurture yourself. Block out some time for yourself.

Sharing your feelings is favored at the beginning of the week, especially feelings of the romantic variety. Go out on a little bit of a limb — why the heck not? The responses you get are likely to be resoundingly positive. Around Thursday and Friday, family or friends should take priority. Make an extra effort to step outside yourself and take a look from their point of view — you may be a bit stuck in your own head now. The weekend finds you full of fun and liable to do something spontaneous. People love your wit, your generosity and your wild streak now!

Indecisive much? At the beginning of the week, even a small choice may be difficult to make. It’s the universe urging you to get grounded, including getting in touch with your beliefs and values. Then, around Thursday and Friday, someone may challenge your views. Your knee-jerk reaction might be an emotional one, but a logical consideration of the situation is also in order. Only then can you formulate a full-fledged response. After all of this, the weekend’s the time for some sheer pleasure. Make plans of the blowing-offsteam, fun-loving variety.

You’re in top form at the beginning of the week if the stars have their say, multitasking marvelously at work and juggling personal matters with total panache. Fun and flirtation definitely play a role, too. Around Thursday and Friday, give work matters or your broader career concerns top priority. Change is in the air, occupationally speaking, and you don’t want to get caught unaware. Make a move rather than waiting to see what happens. This weekend, you’re equal parts intellectual and expressive, mind and heart, thought and feeling. It’s an excellent combination.

You may be lost in your own head at the beginning of the week, whether you’re sorting something out or just spacing out. While you might feel like being alone, checking in with a friend is a good idea. Expect a major change of mood around Thursday and Friday; you’re on fire now, fully present and extra hot. Plenty of attention’s coming your way — attention of the very positive variety (if the stars have their say, that is). When the weekend comes, though, you’ll need to buckle down and think seriously. Let your personal philosophy be your guide.

You’re much beloved at the beginning of the week, even more so than usual.

Is it your extra-sparkling wit, or the way you intuit others’ needs so sweetly, or how you share your knowledge without being condescending? Enjoy the good energy, because around Thursday and Friday, you might have some mood swings to contend with. Where’s this coming from? Find out and accomplish some personal growth — and get happy in time for a lucky-looking weekend. Your spirit of adventure and willingness to try virtually anything new nets you an unexpected reward now.

All of your efforts may not quite be paying off as they should at the beginning of the week, but it would be entirely unlike you to give up. Timing is everything, and this is probably just a delay. By Thursday and Friday, you can perceive something you’ve missed, and a little introspection leads to a lot more personal power. Get organized now, too — workwise and otherwise.

This weekend, someone who thinks you’re always entirely practical would be surprised (and likely thrilled) to be let in on some of your innermost idealism. Do you dare?

You’re not one to let differences of opinion or background stand in the way of something good. At the beginning of the week, you can make a friendship or forge a fruitful work connection with someone entirely unlike you. Find the common ground. Adjusting your pace is key on Thursday and Friday. Whether it’s work, romance or another area entirely, seek the balance between moving too slowly and getting ahead of yourself.

Fun is to be found this weekend in a group setting, especially one that involves common values or a joint goal.

Get yourself around some like-minded, freethinking individuals.

While making a decision may be tough at the beginning of the week, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons, then take a proactive step.

Otherwise you’ll be left in limbo — or left to deal with someone else’s choices. Around Thursday and Friday, your emotions may be running the show. Spend time with trusted loved ones and do an activity that helps clear your head. And while the weekend may bring a difference of opinion, it’s all about how you handle it. Ask questions to find out what underpins their point of view, rather than pushing yours.
