Cook and Brew.

Long road trips, albeit tiring, can be a lot of fun especially if with done with the family. Everytime we have an out of town trip, there are two things that keeps us alive and gratified. Food and chitchats. We do not notice the long hours drive as we keep on munching chips, cookies and sandwiches. Even the toddlers in the family have learned already that eating can take the boredom away. Since kids are pretty messy eaters, my in laws made sure to keep the car flooring protected from liquid drips and crumbs by utilizing custom floor liners and durable car floor mats. This way, we can let the toddlers and kids enjoy their food trip in the car without having to think and clear the mess afterwards. There are several car floor mats and linens that can be browsed over at CarId.com. Do check them out should you be looking for one today.

We’ll be on a road trip almost throughout the day tomorrow which reminds me to save the number of the 24 hour towing service on my phone. We’re having our pilgrimage to Our Lady of Manaoag in Pangasinan as a thanksgiving sacrifice for all the blessings we’ve received lately. I’m excited because my parents and my MIL will be tagging along with us. I can just imagine how fun-filled, albeit tiring, because road trip is synonymous to food trip!

I just encountered this term recently as I was browsing for some good deals in my favorite online travel booking site. I didn’t know there is such a terminology to describe a new category of luxury vacation. Karisma Hotels & Resorts boast as the pioneer and the only vacation expert who can effortlessly provide such exemplary service. So how do they define this further? Personal beach butlers, concierge, turn-down, 24-hour room service, premium beverages and Gourmet cuisine. It is more than fantastic food, as they say. It’s the fusion and overall experience of gourmet food, full service concierge, endless vacation activities and best of all, comfy, homey and cozy suites. It’s no wonder why a lot of couples also opt for destination weddings in the majestic pristine white sand of Riviera Maya beaches. The pictures on their site manifest how glorious and majestic the weddings are, I wonder how is it more in person.

We surely have heard about luxury all-inclusive vacations – think about cozy beach beds, beachside bar swings, swim-up rooms with ocean views, pampering massage while being served with sunset margaritas by a beach butler, peaceful lounging on a hammock while communing with the cool sea breeze, luxury suites overlooking the Mexican Caribbean, spa aromatic baths and many more.  It’s everyone’s perfect vacation dream.

But how perfect it could be more if you combine it with a gourmet inclusive concept? Karisma Hotels offer this one of a kind dining concept where all of their seven restaurants provide full a la carte service and options include a fondue restaurant, a restaurant featuring “culinary theater” wherein dishes are prepared in one of five open kitchens, and 24-hour room service. Now that’s what you call divine dining experience.

These Riviera Maya Hotels have always been the top choices for destination weddings because of this soulful experience that they provide from the perfect wedding venue to divine dining experience to perfect luxurious accommodations.
