Women in Travel Summit, Chicago, 2014
I had some illusion that Chicago would be warm and lovely in March. Not so much. In fact, I was shocked to see that there could actually be snow flurries when we are there.

The Unexpected Drury Inn and Suites in Findlay, Ohio
Honestly. My expectations were pretty low. We are not normally fans of chain hotels. We prefer to stay in smaller, locally owned, boutique hotels that are a little more interesting.

Searching for Snow: The Grand Geneva Resort
The Great Snow Trip of 2014 began with the vague thought that it might be nice to go somewhere for my birthday on January 20. Somewhere different. Somewhere that Tom would like which meant…somewhere with snow. So I looked north. North to Wisconsin and Michigan where they had substantially more snow than we did – … Continue reading

5 Important Things to Know About Winter in Michigan
1. Seasonal Roads. Who knew? We southerners have never heard of seasonal roads, but they are all over northern Michigan. These are back country roads that are not plowed so the snow gets pretty deep.
