New Year’s Eve has symbolized a new beginning for us.  William and I met in January 2010.  Although we both didn’t know it then, it was the beginning of our life together!  Every year we have reminisced about our first New Year’s Eve celebration together in 2011, a Bahama cruise.   It was time to revive this New Year tradition, but with a little twist, a tennis cruise to the Bahamas! 2011 – our first New Years cruise – tennistravelsite.com Carnival Victory We chose to cruise

Trip to Jacksonville, Florida Southern charm came to mind as we left the Jacksonville airport. The sight of rocking chairs in the waiting area met our warm smiles!  Jacksonville pleasantly surprised us with not only a wonderful airport but a nearby cruise port. Less travel time meant more time to play tennis. Port of Jacksonville! The seasonal rain did not stop us from checking out the tennis courts near the Port of Jacksonville.   Our trip was a very smooth 20 minute drive f

Tennis in Grand Cayman In my dreams, my happy place has always been drifting through Caribbean waters on a floaty with the warm sun kissing my skin.   Not only was Grand Cayman a great place to play tennis, but truly a relaxing slice of paradise. Stopover in Miami, Florida We planned our trip to Grand Cayman with a stopover in Miami, Florida.  (Travel tip: There are many flights to Grand Cayman from the Miami airport).    My perfect birthday vacation trip began with a couple

Orlando, Florida is known for making people smile.   Some even proclaim it as the happiest place on earth (Disney World)!  I found my happy place on our last visit.    On our descent into Orlando, seated on the right side of the airplane, my smile began as I opened up the shade to look out my window.  Directly beneath me, was the largest outdoor tennis center I had ever seen.  It had tennis courts as far as the eye could see (and I was in a plane)!   I knew immediately that t

We have never had the opportunity to stay in Sarasota, Florida despite spending many spring break vacations in the Tampa, Florida area.   We were amazed to discover a remarkable place to visit and play tennis as we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary in Sarasota, Florida! Sarasota was a little over an hour drive from the Tampa Airport (tip: there is also an airport in Sarasota).  We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, Florida, a property originally developed by John Ring

Last January, upon entering the Weston Tennis Center (Weston, Florida),  I saw a great tennis shirt that described me, Tennis Addict, by Lacoa Sports (which I immediately purchased).   I was off to a great start to my tennis weekend, at the Weston Tennis Center, run by Cliff Drysdale Tennis. I was introduced to Cliff Drysdale Tennis, when I attended a traveling tennis clinic in Warren, NJ, at Warren Health and Racquet Club, over ten years ago.  Since then, I have experienced

Since my husband and I met eight years ago, we have researched travel vacations with tennis opportunities.  From the start, William embraced my love for tennis and travel.  As our relationship developed, so did our quest for finding new and exciting places to travel to and play tennis.   Our desire to experience many places, meant many long weekends instead of one or two vacations each year.  Our goal was to make the most of our time, playing tennis while still attaining the

Where to play tennis when staying in North Miami, Florida… Turnberry Isle Miami, Florida is a short drive from the Fort Lauderdale airport.    On our short stay in North Miami, Florida, the Cañas Tennis at the Turberry Isle Miami caught our eye.  We felt compelled to check it out. The resort is an Autograph Collection, Marriott property.  When we checked into our room in the Magnolia building, in the morning.  Walking to our room, there was an impressive Banyan Tree (see phot

In 2008, on one of my visits to the Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne, Florida, I met a gal at the adult pool.  She said, if you like this resort, you will really like the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida.  I’ve always wanted to play tennis at the Ritz Carlton, Naples, Florida.  In early December 2016, my husband and I had the opportunity to stay the Ritz Carlton, Naples, Florida. Our tennis experience: We arrived first thing Saturday morning.  We checked in, and immediately checked
