Presidential Suite at the Henderson Park Inn
This post is cross-listed at a Luxury Travel Blog. When I first contacted the Henderson Park Inn about a press visit and they said they really wanted me to stay in the Presidential Suite, I was fairly impressed. A suite is always nice and when you thrown “presidential” into the description, you know you are … Continue reading
Bistro Bijoux in Sandestin
I poked the appetizer gingerly with my fork. Lobster spring rolls had sounded delicious when I ordered them but these were a little odd looking with the lobster tails poking up out of the spring rolls. And then I took a bite. And if lobster spring rolls with the … Continue reading
Vancouver in 4-D
I’m just going to step over here into this teeny-tiny group of people who thought Granville Island was just OK. Yes, it had beautiful produce and some delicious-smelling food but…it was not nearly as large as we thought, there were really just a few shops and the area was kind of…well…grungy. Now that I really … Continue reading
Beautiful, Beautiful Vancouver
Unlike many of our trips where we arrive travel worn, exhausted and ready to fall into the closest bed, we arrived in Vancouver on a cruise ship with the city as our last port and strolled off casually into a typically gorgeous Vancouver day. I had been to Vancouver before but only long enough to … Continue reading

In Puerto Vallarta, we had a scallop appetizer that we still talk about – and fresh coconut ice cream. In Ireland we had freshly baked scones studded with juicy raisins. In … Continue reading

My idea of heaven on earth is staying at a fabulous resort located on a gorgeous beach where someone makes … Continue reading
Eating and Beaching at the Lovely Henderson Park Inn
When I read online that the fridge in the Presidential Suite at the Henderson Park Inn was going to be “fully stocked”, I was immediately intrigued. Fully stocked. Fully stocked. What exactly did that mean? I have had fully stocked fridges at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and Punta Cana and fully stocked meant filled … Continue reading
The Fabulous Burrito Treatment at Silver Shells Spa in Destin
I now know how a turkey feels. Also a burrito. A turkey burrito. Let me backtrack. We just spent a completely and totally fabulous day at the Silver Shells Resort and Spa getting pampered within an inch of our lives. And we loved every second of it. My SIL had a great massage but what … Continue reading
Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort or as I like to Call It HEAVEN ON EARTH
You ALL. Seriously. I may never come home. The Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is quite, quite, quite fabulous. You know that I planned a spur of the moment trip to Destin and it was just luck and the kindness of the lovely folks at Sandestin that my sister-in-law and I ended up here. In paradise.
