Cruising Elkhart Lake, WI on Captain Tom’s Elkhart Queen
We both sat back and relaxed as the pontoon boat, the Elkhart Queen, was skillfully steered away from the dock by Captain Tom. Beautiful Elkhart Lake sparkled with diamonds of late afternoon sunshine and that same golden fall sunshine warmed our backs. It was the perfect start to a lovely evening in Elkhart Lake. We … Continue reading
Pin ItOff Road at Road America
Although I was most excited to try kayaking for the first time during our visit to the incomparable Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, Tom was most intrigued when he saw Road America listed on the itinerary we received for our press trip. And when we mentioned our trip to Elkhart Lake to two friends who are from Wisconsin, the first thing they … 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

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

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
Pin ItThe Best Kept Secret on Tybee Island: Coco’s Sunset Grille
There’s a lot of restaurants on this small, 3-mile barrier island off the coast of Georgia. Most of them offer seafood. Some even offer local seafood and I have partaken of many a meal on my trips to this lovely locale situated a few miles from Savannah. But it wasn’t until this trip to … Continue reading
