Omni 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 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 ItThe Family-Friendly Carlbsbad Inn Beach Resort
We couldn’t believe it. Here we were in beautiful southern California, on the coast, at the beach, in the middle of summer, and the skies were gray, cloudy and downright unattractive. Surely we had caught California at an unfortunate and inopportune moment and the sun would break through at any moment, flooding the … Continue reading
Pin ItDahlonega Spa Resort in Dahlonega, Georgia
The first thing you need to know about Dahlonega, Georgia aside from the fact that it is completely lovely in every way, is how to pronounce the name of the place. For quite a while, when we first made arrangements to visit, I was calling it Dahlonega, pronounced like Talladega. Luckily, before we visited this … Continue reading
Pin ItVictorian Village Resort in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin
When I heard Elkhart Lake described as “crystal clear”, I just shrugged my shoulders. Yeah. Whatever. I know lakes. When you swim in lakes, you might as well accept the fact that the water is going to be murky and you can’t see the lower half of your body when treading water. Which is, quite … Continue reading
Pin ItGourmet Cooking Class for a Non-Gourmet Cook
I went to a gourmet cooking class recently. This statement would seem more hilarious if you knew me. My grandmother hated cooking. My mother hated cooking. I won’t say that I hate cooking, but I will tell you that I just recently figured out the correct way to make both jello and iced tea. Our … Continue reading
Pin ItThey Don’t Just Eat Tacos in Arizona
To those of us who travel for a living, culinary delights become crucial to enjoying the whole travel experience. We might just possibly start planning the next meal before we have completed the one in front of us. Okay, we do. Often. But those culinary delights, be they freshly baked éclairs from a storefront bakery … Continue reading
Pin ItGirlfriends Getaway to Bay Point Wyndham Resort in Panama City, Florida
It was true love. I was in love with this beautiful lanai patio which overlooked the gorgeous pool, the incredible landscaping and the quiet St. Andrews Bay in front of the resort. I sat down at our little private table with the ceiling fan rotating quietly overhead and just relished the fact that I was … Continue reading
