Baby, It’s Cold Outside:A Girlfriend Getaway to the Windy City
You have two choices for the time of year to visit Chicago. Although there are technically four seasons there, as in most of the United States, the most well-known are the icy cold winters and the pleasant mild summers. Guess which one I prefer? Although I have to say Chicago in the winter has some … Continue reading
Pin ItFamily Getaway to the Bay Point Wyndham Resort

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.

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

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
