Sunday, Oct. 30, when Daylight Savings Time ends and clocks are rolled back one hour, is the only day of the year when there actually is more time in the day. Marriott and Renaissance Caribbean & Mexico Resorts offer eight creative ways to spend that hour - learning a new skill, starting a new health routine, or just kicking back and relaxing.

 With eight resorts in six of the top tropical destinations - Aruba, Curacao, St. Kitts, St. Thomas, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta - Marriott and Renaissance Resorts offer lots of ways to spend that extra hour. Here are a few suggestions:
 -- Learn to prepare Mexican delicacies like guacamole or become a novice mixologist by taking cooking and bartending classes at the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort.
