Swimming and Sunning at the Watercolor Inn & Resort
I should probably feel a trifle guilty that it’s going to be in the 30’s at home tonight. I probably should. But I am way too busy doing this to even think about being guilty.
All the Cool Kids are Doing It: A 2011 Retrospective
This has been a truly, truly wonderful year. It didn’t start out that way. Sometime last January, I got punched in the stomach with the news that the travel company I was writing for was doing away with the travel blog I had painstakingly designed and maintained for almost two years. Not only did they … Continue reading
Destination:Destin. Yes, AGAIN.
I thought I might be able to squeeze just one more trip into 2011 but it looks like my Girlfriends Getaway to the Emerald Coast is going to bump right over into 2012. And seriously, how fabulous is the name of that area of Florida? But appropriate when you consider the color of the gorgeous … Continue reading
Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita – Paradise in Riviera Maya, Mexico
Step into the marble-floored lobby of Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The Mexican-themed, adobe colored walls are open to the salt-scented breeze off the turquoise ocean. The fountain murmurs gently and, surrounded by eclectic artwork from around the world purchased by the well-traveled owners, you find all your worries begin to … Continue reading

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.

Another Day in Paradise: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
I used to think my idea of heaven on earth was staying at a fabulous resort located on a gorgeous beach where someone made my bed and left chocolates for me every night. I was wrong. 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.
