 Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Penny Wehner and I'm an Event and Travel Concierge with Candy Cain Travel. I was an Account Executive with a website company for many years and in 2009 made a change to the Travel Industry. Being involved in the travel industry, I've had opportunities to meet amazing people and business owners from around the world. I have gotten many opportunities to visit and tour locations most people only dream to visit. Today I have embarked upone one of those trips.


My current destination is Grenada, known as the Spice Island in the Caribbean. It's located northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, northeast of Venezuela, and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This mountainous island is covered with rare tropical flowers and fragrant spice trees, and is surrounded by beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. It appears to be the ideal location for destination weddings, vow renewals and honeymoons. I can't wait to find out for myself!

I will be staying at the Flamboyant Hotel & Villas located in the capitol of Grenada, St. Georges. At the Flamboyant Hotel & Villas, kids are welcome and baby-sitters are available on request. Dad can go golfing and Mom can have a massage. Then, later the family can go scuba diving. With all inclusive packages available, why not go? I know I'm looking forward to it.

I have never been to the Caribbean before, so this is a real adventure for me. I loved Mexico when I went last month. I can't wait to see what Grenada is going to be like.
