Romantic Getaway, Part II

During our stay at the Ritz-Carlton for our anniversary, Matt rushed me off to the spa.  He was gearing up for football for the day, and I was getting ready for a day of relaxation.  I actually had my first massage at a Ritz-Carlton hotel many, many years...

The Cove at Paradise Island

I quit my job and moved to Paradise Island in The Bahamas. I'm kidding, but I did take a much needed vacation to this beautiful island. My family and I decided to go to Atlantis, and we had several hotels to choose from. We chose The Cove at Atlantis because it had a...

Back Porch Destin

We took the kids to the beach for fall break. The beach always translates to good local seafood restaurants. You don't eat cheeseburgers at the beach. You eat seafood. A family friend told me about The Back Porch, a Seafood and Oyster House in Destin. We arrived just...

Annunciation New Orleans

I always have a great time when I'm in Louisiana, especially in New Orleans. My dear friend Kiley was born and raised in New Orleans, and she always has a great recommendation for good food when I'm in town. We met in undergrad at Southern University in Baton Rouge....

Beale Street Blues

I have had an amazing week.  I traveled to Memphis, Tennessee where I had a blast with my childhood best friend.  I also traveled to Mississippi to visit my family and I did not want the week to end. I arrived at the airport as my flight was boarding, which...

The Grand Floridian (Disney Part III)

Well, it's time to visit the parks! As I stated in a previous post, I was not excited about going to Disney. However, the park was at 30% capacity and masks were still mandatory. So, I can honestly say it was a great experience. It was not blazing hot during our...

Music to My Ears

If you had been there, you would have pulled the one you love close and reminisced about the day you met.  If you had been there, you would have felt relaxed, fine and on cloud nine...if only you had been there.  I'm talking about jazz in the park at...

Miraval Resort & Spa, Part I

The hubster and I decided to get away and leave reality behind.  We did just that by going to Miraval Resort & Spa. I have heard so many wonderful things about this resort, so I always wondered, "What's the big deal?" Oprah and Gayle went on a retreat here,...

A Romantic Getaway

For our anniversary, my husband planned a romantic getaway to the Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain and we had a blast!  Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Ritz-Carlton.  They offer the best service, and although I know there are other hotels that have...

Family Fun at Atlantis

If you are traveling with children, rest assured that there is PLENTY for them to do at Atlantis. I did not take a picture of every swimming pool because there were just too many. The kids have their own play area, so my kids fell in love with this area. I was able to...
