The Westin Perth Hotel, Perth Australia


The Westin Perth Hotel was a lovely hotel in downtown CBD area or Central Business district of Perth, Australia. It was in a great location, just a short walk down to the ocean and everything that is to offer down there.  When we checked in I was waiting for a Suite Reward Upgrade requested upgrade which is a perk or a benefit for Titanium Elite members with Marriott Bonvoy. I did get what I requested which was an Executive Corner One Bedroom Suite.  This place was close to 1700 square feet of ridiculousness.  It had killer views on the 26th floor of downtown Perth and all of the beautiful lights at night.

The living room had two large couches. The dining room table sat ten people and was equipped with a bar and coffee area complete with wine glasses, mugs, utensils and a spare wine fridge just in case we needed it.  



You can barely see Darren stretched out over the floor to ceiling windows because the room was so long.



The Coffee and Wine Bar and dining room table.

There was a full kitchen minus an oven and it even had a beautiful Miele refrigerator.  We had one and a half bathrooms and even a desk area or boardroom for working on our computers.  

Our one bedroom was beautiful and large with a gorgeous bathroom and change hallway with closets and a nice marble area to put your suitcase and at the end of the hallway was a big mirror which took me a night to figure out that that was actually where another bathroom was.  There were drawers in the closet area that were equipped with a safety deposit box. 
Hallway into the kitchen equipped with a Butler's Kitchen.  No surprise that we did not have a Butler.

Bedroom with beautiful views.

There were blinds that could roll down to give you privacy in the bath tub.

All of this was surrounded with floor-to-ceiling windows with electronic remote controlled blinds and curtains.
Being Titanium Elite gives you a choice of an extra 1000 points or a complimentary breakfast and we always go with the complimentary buffet breakfast and they're always killer breakfasts.  At this Westin Perth from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Elite Members Lounge they have wine and beer and Appetizers. But this particular Lounge had full dinners with entree, salad, cheese and crackers, fruits, desserts, appetizers etc. It was different every night so I had my supper there every night. Unfortunately Darren couldn't because many of the things had garlic but he did fill himself up on Coke and Ginger Beer which is an Aussie favorite. 
The Perth Mint is just a short walk down the street.

Beautiful artwork in our Suite.

Perth by day.

We found some great chocolate in Australia, these were our favorites.

Love the Espresso and the Westin housecoat

Darren was enamored with the Electronic Maid that was vacuuming.

We loved our expansive Executive Corner Suite.  We felt like a king and a queen on top of Perth. 
I highly recommend this hotel. It was modern and luxurious five-star accommodation.


Long hallway with the Mirrored Door at the end of the hallway which opened to be the secret bathroom.

Climbing Mt. Solmar with The Dogs, Los Cabos, Mexico

Image
We heard about this climb from Darren's niece who had done the exact climb last week.  Whenever you do a search on hikes in the Los Cabos area, this Mount Solmar hike does not come up.  I would highly recommend it though because it was a great deal of fun and it was challenging.  I went with 3 friends and to top it all off there was a bunch of dogs walking with us up the mountain.   Enrique runs a Dog Training Center.  He started this hike with dogs to train them most likely. And now people join him for free and climb up Mount Solmar with the dogs. The dogs love it and they are barking and in a bit of a frenzy before you go.  You take an Uber or drive your car to the dog training center and you wait in line at 8:00 a.m. this hike accompanied by dogs is available every morning except Saturday.   Kent, Joelle, Craig and I in the line-up to get into see the dogs and start the climb. Enrique led us into the compound and gave us a talk on the area...

Ixtapa Island- Ixtapa, Mexico

Image
This is Coral Beach on Ixtapa Island The kids wanted to go to Ixtapa Island because this is where the best snorkeling is located in the Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo areas.  When we first started asking around and getting price quotes for this, we were getting prices anywhere from 90 - 110 American per person for a day trip to Ixtapa Island.  Anyone who knows us know that we hate organized tours because you get herded around like cattle, you don't get to make your own decisions and 90% of the time they are a rip-off for something that you can organize yourself.   Once the kids found out how expensive it was they began to research this trip and they realized that it's quite achievable to do without a tour or a tour guide for a fraction of the cost. We first took a taxi from Hilton Grand where we were staying to Playa Linda, where the Pier is located for the water taxis.  Our taxi from the Hilton Grand cost 300 pesos to get the 4 of us to Playa Linda where a lot of marke...

Kuilau Ridge Trail - Kauai, Hawaii

Image
My son Dax wanted to do this trail because it was in the interior of the island in the Rain Forest of Kauai. Some unusual Dr. Seuss like plants behind Kim. There is quite a bit of parking available before and after the bridge. There are washrooms available, they are super gross of the non flushing kind and the smell was really bad worse than your average outdoor Biffy. The trail begins at the yellow metal gates and there is a lot of elevation to climb up for the first section.  Eventually you get to the pretty views of a multitude of greens. You can literally take a ton of photos because every view is gorgeous! The forest is thick with some scary steep drop offs but the trail is wide enough for safety  You can continue for a longer trail for another 3.2 miles past the bridge but our hike was already going to be 2 hours round trip so we stopped at the bridge. That was enough beauty for one day. I highly recommend this hike and gave it a 5 out of 5 because it was moderately chal...
