Family Getaway to Laketown Wharf Resort, Panama City Beach

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 »

One 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.

Omni 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 »
