Check out my review of this location on Examiner.com as well HERE. I stretched out my legs so my toes could get even closer to the fire in the fireplace which was crackling merrily and busily warming up my frigid toes. As warmth spread through my icy feet, I looked around at the large and &hellip Continue reading »

The last time we went on a trip, I unpacked my suitcase and lifted out the very large baggie stuffed with my shampoo, conditioner, bath gel and lotion and said no more. This is ridiculous. Because I’m normally traveling for a good chunk of days, I need a large container of shampoo, etc. and those &hellip Continue reading »

Road Trip! South Walton Girlfriends Getaway

Bemused, I gazed at my bright pink, freshly pedicured toes. The pedicure was lovely but what was truly, truly lovely was the view I had over my toes, resting on the end of a lounge chair on a blindingly white sand beach in South Walton, Florida.
