Yes, It’s a Fabulous Hotel – But is Breakfast Included?
I took a bite of the delicious hot pancakes that had just been delivered to my table at Paulette’s Restaurant in the River Inn of Harbor Town in Memphis, Tennessee. Not only were they cooked to perfection and perfectly wonderful, I also felt pretty smug about my breakfast because it was free. When you stay … Continue reading
Pin ItLow Country, High Country and Beach: On The Road Again
It all started with lovely, Spanish moss-draped Savannah, Georgia. I read somewhere that the Tall Ships Challenge – a series of races and cruises up the Atlantic coast by huge and beautiful wooden rigged sailing ships – was going to be in Savannah. I don’t know much of anything about ships. I have no idea … Continue reading
Pin ItHotel Valley Ho, Scottsdale, Arizona
We stepped into the lobby of the Hotel Valley Ho with trepidation. A hotel that was cool back in 1956? Just how cool was it going to be today? Answer? Pretty darn cool. As soon as we heard the 50’s and 60’s music in the lobby, we knew we were going to love it there. … Continue reading

Or possibly a dozen more? We were seated at the bar overlooking the busy demonstration kitchen area for Wine … Continue reading

I gripped the armrest of my seat in the open jeep from Pink Jeep Tours, gazed at the tumbled red boulders in front of us and thought they are going to go around those right? They aren’t going to go right over them. Right? Right? Riiiiiight? As our hot pink jeep climbed the trademark red … Continue reading
Pin ItThe Verde Canyon Railroad, Clarkdale, Arizona
I lounged back on the comfy loveseat and popped a chocolate brownie in my mouth. I was lazily relaxed with a sumptuous spread of food on the table before me and someone was strolling around taking drink orders. I could not be more comfortable. This is the way to travel. On a train. No tiny … Continue reading
Pin ItBlues, Barbecue and Elvis Presley – A Girls Getaway to Memphis, Tennessee
We stepped out of the car, stretching and ready to experience Memphis in all its glory and then we all gasped aloud at the humid heat that slapped us in the face like a wet washcloth. We had chosen Memphis on a whim for our Girlfriend Getaway since it was fairly close to our home … Continue reading
Pin ItThe Junipine Resort in Sedona, Arizona
Check out my review of the Junipine Resort on Examiner.com as well HERE. We dropped our luggage and walked straight back through the living room to the deck because, through the sliding glass doors, we could see it. The view. The incredible, mesmerizing, gorgeous view of the snow-topped mountains, the trees, the creek, the….we were … Continue reading
