Boston - Liberty Hotel
Next time in Boston, check out the Liberty Hotel. The Alibi bar is very cool with an outdoor patio. Since the building is a converted jail, they have celebrity mug shots on the walls. Who knew Larry King had been arrested for bad checks?

Decisions, Decisions.....
I have spent the last few days contemplating the location of my next “big” trip. My husband and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary in June. We wanted to get away for a few days to celebrate and enjoy ourselves. After much debate, we have narrowed the list down to two locations. Aruba or Cabo San Lucas. We have been to Cabo before and enjoy the beautiful scenery, fantastic restaurants and...

Back to Reality.....
My husband, Mike, and I just returned from our annual New Year’s Eve trip. For the past few years we have gotten in habit of spending New Year’s Eve away from the crowds and in a warm destination. After much thought, we decided to visit Grand Cayman for this year’s trip. Having been to Grand Cayman before, we had a good idea of what to expect. The Cayman Islands are a beautiful place. The largest...

Where service comes first..
Now that the weather is turning chilly, it is time to start thinking of spots to warm up in. If you are looking for somewhere a little off the beaten path, with beautiful scenery and first class service, I would highly recommend the Four Seasons Punta Mita www.fourseasons.com.
Punta Mita is located approximately 45 minutes north of Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. It is a...

Max Napa Tours →
I will be heading out to San Fran in a couple of weeks. I really would like to take a day trip to wine country. I do not want the hassle of a large tour bus and large tour group. I don’t handle large crowds of people well!! This Max Napa Tours looks great with groups of 2 to 6 people. They also help with the planning of the day. Has anyone taken this tour?

After much research, we decided to stay at the South Seas Island Plantation Resort. www.southseas.com It is located at the very tip of Captiva Island. The resort was completely destroyed by a direct hit...

C-House is the restaurant located on the ground floor of the hotel. They have a great menu of mostly fresh seafood including a large raw bar and sushi options. C-View is appropriately named for the skyline view from the...

For those not familiar with Cedar Point, it is a large amusement complex with a theme park, water park, hotels, marina and beach. However,it is not your standard theme park with a few roller coasters and carnival rides. Cedar Point, set on the...

Over the past few years, my husband Mike and I have found that escaping the cold Chicago winter for a warmer destination has been a great way to spend the last day of the year. I have...
