A Gold Ribbon on the Toilet Paper
Golden sparkles of light on turquoise waves were visible through the sliding glass doors of our gorgeous hotel room at the Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa as we dropped our suitcases inside the door and began to set our internal clocks to Mexico time. Slow, sultry, and relaxed. Where everything was no problem. And … Continue reading

Forward all my mail to Condo #4759 Westwinds, Sandestin, Florida. IF ONLY.
I probably should have been more impartial. When Visit South Walton so kindly sent me a list of resorts and hotels willing to have me stay for a few days (seriously, so kind of everyone) for a Girlfriends Getaway with my sister and SIL, one name jumped out at me. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. … Continue reading

The Marlin Grill, Village of Baytown Wharf, Sandestin, Florida
When I was a little girl, my grandmother lived in Pensacola, Florida. To me, Pensacola was the perfect vacation destination and I remember driving over the bridge out to Santa Rosa island with the smell of salt air blowing in through our open windows and getting that first glimpse of sugar-white, soft sand and … Continue reading

56 Buttercup Street, A Little Slice of Heaven at the Watercolor Inn & Resort, Florida
You know what’s better than staying at a fabulous beach house in one of the most gorgeous beach areas in the world, eating completely delicious food, shopping until you drop and relaxing on the beach with two of your favorite people in the world? Staying at two different and equally fabulous locations, that’s what. After … Continue reading

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.
The Auberge Bonaparte Hotel in Montreal, Canada
Turn down the Rue St-Francois-Xavier in Old Montreal and you could be forgiven for thinking you are in the middle of Paris. The beautiful, carved stone buildings. The cobblestone streets. The view of the river wending through the city. But as you drive down this quiet lane, look carefully or you will miss one of … Continue reading
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
Nolita (North of Little Italy), New York City
Check out my review of the Nolitan Hotel on my Examiner.com site HERE. Apparently, we ate a lot when we were in New York, judging from the photos I just sorted through. There are an exorbitant number of photos of food, places to purchase food, and restaurants. This should not surprise you, if you have … Continue reading
Why A Caribbean Cruise is the Perfect Girlfriends Getaway
I lolled back in my pool side lounge chair, opened my eyes, glanced out at the navy blue strip of ocean I could view through the railing slipping silently past as we cruised to our next gorgeous Caribbean port, and lazily mulled over whether to apply more sunscreen, move into the shade, or possibly just … Continue reading
