The Red Coach Inn, Niagara Falls
A version of this article also appeared on Examiner.com HERE. The same article without photos appeared on A Luxury Travel Blog HERE. It was the huge jacuzzi tub that captivated me. Everything else about this completely fabulous suite at the Red Coach Inn in Niagara Falls was overwhelmingly wonderful, but after a long day … Continue reading
Red Bluff Cottage in Montgomery, Alabama
It was after dark when we arrived at Red Bluff Cottage in Montgomery, Alabama, but we could still appreciate how lovely this B & B was as we pulled into the back parking lot. With a late start in the day for our trip to Destin, Florida, we had decided to stop along the way … Continue reading
Leaf Peeping on the Norwegian Jewel
For the last couple of years, ever since I have been addicted to occasionally checking Facebook, my sweet cousin Pam in Rhode Island has talked about leaf peeping in the fall.
