Enjoying the Snow at Boyne Highlands

Posted on March 4, 2015 by Jan Ross

    Although a good chunk of the United States has been moaning and complaining about all the snow this winter, we actually wanted more snow and headed to Michigan to find it.

Cruising Southern France with Viking Cruises

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Jan Ross

Somehow, in the course of becoming a travel writer and traveling the world, I have become a person who casually announces that we are going to France.

Relaxing and Rejuvenating at the Lovely Treetops Resort

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Jan Ross

  I’m not sure exactly when we fell in love with the quite wonderful Treetops Resort. It might have been when we saw the cheerfully decorated welcome sign in the blowing snow. Or it may have been when we first saw the lodge in the middle of a snowstorm. Or it might possibly have been when we … Continue reading »

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Jan Ross

    When we fell totally and completely in love with Oregon, part of the reason was the time we spent in lovely little Cannon Beach at the coast. Found completely by accident when looking for a coastal resort to visit for a few days, it was one of the happiest accidents in all our … Continue reading »

Open the Door to the Perfect Girlfriends Getaway in Door County, Wisconsin

Posted on February 10, 2015 by Jan Ross

If you visited one of idyllic Door County’s beaches every single day, it would take you nearly a month because since this lovely, scenic area of Wisconsin is located on a peninsula which juts out into Lake Michigan and there are plenty of beaches.
