Alright, we’ve been to Park City twice and we’re looking for a new thrill.
After a little research Rachel found this cool place called Beaver Creek over in Colorado. Somehow she managed to get us into the Westin at Beaver Creek and it was SWEET!
Ski valets, spa, and a gondola ride away from the bus that takes us up the mountain.
We LOVED this place.
I told you we war addicted to snowboarding.
We came back for a second year and stayed at the Marriott Summit Watch right on main street. There’s a free bus that takes you right to the mountain.
This year we got tipped off by the kid in the equipment rental place to a guy that did unauthorized snowboard lessons that consisted of us strapping on our boards and riding down the mountain.
It took us two hours to get down home run, but it was worth it.
This is the first time we ditched skis for boards.
We look like total dorks in this video and even though we had a bunch of bumps and bruises, we knew that snowboarding was our new addiction.
(this video is even funnier if you look at us in some of the newer ones)
This video has some shots of both El Conquistador and the W in Vieques.
The W wins hands down in luxury and lack of rug rats. It’s beautiful, but make sure you rent a car before you get there or you might be stuck enjoying the hotel longer than you had anticipated.
I have to admit, staying in the Marina at El Conquistador was pretty sweet. Seeing those boats every morning made me feel like a million bucks.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time out to share in our adventure to El Conquistador Resort in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
Since this is the first post ever on this site I’m not sure exactly how this will al play out. I guess I’ll just share some of my favorite pictures with you and see where it goes from there.
Here’s a map of the resort:
First thing we did when we got to the resort was have a bite to eat and a tropical drink by the main pool area (#13.) Rachel had a Margarita
I had a Pina Colada
And we shared a BBQ Chicken Pizza. (Not a very “local” choice but we were starving and the menu at the bar is very limited.)
The best part had to be the view from where we were sitting.
