Fabulous, Green Seattle!
Seattle is one of the best places in the world to visit if you want a green, healthy, organic experience. From a hotel with an expansive and growing green grass roof (no kidding!) to the well-known Pike Place Market, where you can select flowers so fresh they may still glisten with morning dew, this beautiful … Continue reading
Pin ItGirlfriends Getaway to the Emerald City
Seattle truly lives up to its nickname; surrounded by acres of dark green forests and the clear, bright green water of Puget Sound on the West and Lake Washington on the East which sprawl on both sides of the isthmus where the city is located, from the air it’s a green paradise. Staying Green in … Continue reading
Pin ItFamily Getaway to the Bay Point Wyndham Resort
In spite of the fact that a frog gave me my exercise before bed at the Bay Point Wyndham Resort in Panama City Beach, I am still a huge fan of this place. I actually stayed here last year on a girlfriends getaway and adored everything about the property from the friendly and … Continue reading
Pin ItOne Night with a Barking Tree Frog
I lay in bed with the covers pulled up, just about to burst with fury. Someone had the nerve to walk their tiny, yippy dog this late at night, right outside the door of my room at the resort. How annoying! Up to this point, we had been in love with our fabulous two bedroom villa at … Continue reading
Pin ItOmni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California
It might have been the huge tub in our room. Because I am a fan of the huge tub, pretty much anytime. Or the fact that when we had a slight problem with noise in our first room, the staff cheerfully moved us to another room that was equally nice. I always appreciate … Continue reading
Pin ItWild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms
I put my book in my lap, stretched out on the wide, cushioned couch in the living room of our fabulous condo at the Wild Dunes Resort and glanced over at my SIL who was still happily engrossed in her book. There were many, many things we enjoyed about our stay at this lovely oceanfront … Continue reading
Pin ItA Getaway to Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island is tucked neatly up against the South Carolina coast, so close that it is just a short drive over a marsh-lined causeway to get there, yet only a short distance from the cities of both Charleston and Savannah. Your first glimpse of the lush foliage and the businesses and resorts which are … Continue reading
Pin ItWest Inn and Suites in Carlsbad, California
It was the cold milk and cookies at bedtime that did it. That was what made us realize we should have stayed at the West Inn and Suites when we were in Carlsbad. Let me back up. We don’t normally write reviews for hotels where we have not actually stayed. But we made an exception … Continue reading
Pin ItHilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort and Spa
That. That right up there may have been one of the best things about our stay at the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort and Spa. Those are shrimp and lobster tacos. And they were just as good as they look. We had them one night out on the patio of Chandler’s, the restaurant at the hotel. When we … Continue reading
Pin ItPelican Cove Inn Bed and Breakfast in Carlsbad, California
The feather bed really put this location over the top. Huge, fluffy, and placed on a bed so high we had to use a stool to get in it, it was pretty darn fabulous. We had spent the previous night in Carlsbad at the lovely Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, but the Pelican Cove … Continue reading
