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. Clear water shading from dark turquoise to the clear … 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 »

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.

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 »

Presidential Suite at the Henderson Park Inn

This post is cross-listed at a Luxury Travel Blog. When I first contacted the Henderson Park Inn about a press visit and they said they really wanted me to stay in the Presidential Suite, I was fairly impressed. A suite is always nice and when you thrown “presidential” into the description, you know you are … Continue reading »

Bistro Bijoux in Sandestin

            I poked the appetizer gingerly with my fork. Lobster spring rolls had sounded delicious when I ordered them but these were a little odd looking with the lobster tails poking up out of the spring rolls. And then I took a bite. And if lobster spring rolls with the … Continue reading »

My idea of heaven on earth is staying at a fabulous resort located on a gorgeous beach where someone makes … Continue reading »

Eating and Beaching at the Lovely Henderson Park Inn

  When I read online that the fridge in the Presidential Suite at the Henderson Park Inn  was going to be “fully stocked”, I was immediately intrigued. Fully stocked. Fully stocked. What exactly did that mean? I have had fully stocked fridges at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and Punta Cana and fully stocked meant filled … Continue reading »
