Vacation... Obama Style! August 2008 Before tackling the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver, Barack Obama and his family enjoyed some R&R in Hawaii, a place very close to Barack’s heart. Similar to many families facing financial crisis, the Obama’s really know a thing or two about vacationing on a budget. Barack enjoyed some tee-off time for as low as $33.00 and enjoyed some hefty hamburgers with Michelle and the girls for a mere $8.00. The Aloha Tropical Farm appreciated the soon-to-be first family’s presence where admission is as low as $2.00 per person. And for those who may think Barack can’t hang, that’s where you are wrong! Barack spent a significant amount of time body surfing the waves of the Pacific! Talk about, Surf’s up! But, of course, you know the Obama’s had to finish off with style, while hosting a $2,300.00 per plate fundraiser. Talk about upper middle class!!!

July 2008 When you think of the word, palace, one often thinks of a castle, butlers/maids, fine dining, and the highest quality of service. Well, just add a beautiful sunset, live nightly entertainment, and spa services and you have just been introduced to the RIU Palace in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Located just three miles from downtown Cabo San Lucas, the family, all-inclusive, state-of-the-art resort screams luxury from the moment your transfer drops you off in front of the building…palace. From regal sculptures to antique décor to highlight the open foyer, the RIU Palace is surely fit for a king and queen. As you are complimentary served a chilled cocktail upon arrival, you are shortly escorted to your room by concierge service. As you open your room door, one can't help but to notice the regal deep hues of burgundy and gold suited for royalty. Marble floors stretch across the room as you are lead to a seating area and deck/patio. The large deck/patio windows embrace the wonderful scenery the resort has to offer. After you unload and enjoy the complimentary mini-bar fully stocked with Mexico’s finest spirits, one must stroll to see what else the RIU has to offer. As you make your way back to the main foyer, one can't help but to visit the 24-hour main bar and lounge. Arranged with pool tables and ample seating, the lounge overlooks the entire resort, taking view of the crashing waves of the Pacific, tranquil pools, and the broad beach occupied by beach vendors, volleyball heavies and bathing beauties. Afterwards, take a load off and enjoy the pool. Hop into those shorts and bathing suits and take a dip. While you’re at it, be sure to partake in a second cocktail offered on either pool side, all while reading a good book of course. The RIU offers two pools – one for fun and games and the other for a little R&R. After a full afternoon of water activity, we all know the after effect: hunger. Whether you desire quesadillas, red beans and rice, or just some good ole' pizza, your fingers will find something to grab and enjoy at the full buffet.
