**Introduction**
Fantasia Barrino is yet another success story in the history of American Idol. The North Carolina native made a name for herself during the Third season of the show back in 2004. You may not have known this but she comes from quite a musical family with her cousins Cedric and Joel Hailey of KCI & JoJo and Jodeci fame and also distant cousin of Dave Hollister of Blackstreet fame and solo singer Calvin Richardson. Fantasia had a tough life as a teenager and whilst a student at Andrews High School in High Point she was raped by a classmate and her life took on another challenge when she got pregnant at sixteen (not related) she raised the child on her own after her partner used to beat her.

Cruising to Alaska was such a wonderful experience that my husband decided he would like to cruise to the Northern cape of Norway, and after surfing the net he discovered we could sail from England and avoid the problem of the weight of luggage, especially as this was an 12 day cruise.

My husband and I stayed at the Rey Carlos III for a week, half board in July 2009. The Rey Carlos hotel is in the small town of Es Castell, which is about 2 miles from Mahon (Mao) the capital of Menorca. Es Castell is a small town not a holiday resort but it does have a very pretty harbour front at Cala Fonts with many restaurants and bars, which is about a five-minute walk from the hotel.
There is also a very small local supermarket around the corner from the hotel.
The hotel is in a lovely location right on the harbour side with the most wonderful views.
If you want a hotel near a beach this is not the hotel for you, although if you hire a car Menorca has more beaches than all the other Balearic Islands put together.
We found the hotel itself is comfortable and relaxing.
Many of the guests that we met there had come back year ...
