  I found out this past weekend that you don't have to know a lot about wine to enjoy it. For an adult getaway mini vacation my husband and I, my two brothers and their wives took off to beautiful upper Michigan to the Traverse City Bay area and surrounding Leelanau Peninsula. This is known as the wine touring destination with many award winning wines to taste in addition to the...

The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC has the distinction of being the largest privately owned home in the United States. The house, built in the 1890's in the French chateau style, has 250 rooms and a portion of these are open to the public. The estate also features a winery, gardens designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead (also the designer for Central Park), and a 4 star inn. Estate admission s...

My hubby and I were looking for q quiet, private and relaxing weekend getaway and we found it at Wispering Pines. The accomadations were clean and comfy. Our room had a private bath and views of the woods. WHat I like was t...

I went to the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino in Hogansburg New York which is in the northern part of New York. This was the first time I had ever been and it was a nice place to go and gamble. The Mohawk Casino has multiple slot machines of all different dollar values as well as pennie and nickle slots. I also played the roulette table for a little while. I wish there were a few more table games as we...

My husband and I visited Dover Downs Casino the first time because we went to a beach and it rained all weekend.  We asked what they did in the town when the weather was bad and they said they go to the casino.  So we tried it and won $500, a very friendly concierge type person came to us and helped us to sign up for their rewards card.  It was free so we did it.  Shortly af...

On our trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica, we stayed at the Sandal's all inclusive resort.  I would say this resort is more for young adults.  Of course, this is an adult only resort.  We did have to wait for about an hour to get into our room but found that we were upgraded to a pricier room than what we had paid for which was great.  The food was fine, but I could see s...

I visited Las Vegas this summer and it was a pleasant experience. However there were some things that I did not expect to happen.First, the airfare was considerably high compared to other vacation destinations within the same distance. Another feature of Vegas that I didn't find appealing were the vast amount of people handing me random junk on the strip. It was usually cards and magazines ...

This past fall we were able to do something we had never been able to do. Go to Disney World without our children. I will honestly say that it is definately a different experience without children and while it is something I really enjoyed to me it just wasn't the same without the kids. We ended up staying at Radisson Celebration and had quite possibly the dirtiest room on premises. After s...

An adult hotel that couples can afford without breaking the checking account.  The “Ultimate Suite” offers a 550 square feet living area which includes a whirlpool tub that is placed behind a three-sided glass fireplace that goes into your room. It contains a King Sized Plush Pillow Top bed that will make you want to take it home with you after your stay. If that were not eno...

If you're a Mommy &/or Daddy you know that we all sometimes need an outing just for us. We got the opportunity to experience our first casino resort outside of Vegas. The Paragon Casino Resort was a nice way for us to relax a bit & try our hand at gambling. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side that day but, maybe next time. My husband says, we're paying for the dream of what ...

Sandals is an all-inclusive couples only resort for adults.  In other words, it's heaven!  We spent 7 days at the Dunn's River resort for our honeymoon.  You have the option of staying at the resort or going on selected excursions.  We only left the resort once to travel to Dunn's River Falls.  It's a waterfall that you climb then end in a natural spring...

For our fifth anniversary my wife and I went to the Pocono's in Pennsylvania. We hardly ever leave our children, so we wanted to go somewhere nice and romantic, but not too far away. The Pocono's is about a six hour drive from where we live. So, when you think of the Pocono's you think of the Caesars Palace Resorts. We checked them all out online and chose Paradise Stream....

I am very interested in going to vacations as they give relief from busy schedule and bursts stress. Recently I went for Costa Rica adult vacation to Tabacon resort. It has options for couple vacations and single adult vacations and is suitable for any adult. I went in spring as spring is hot there because of the volcano at the base of which this resort is present. Tabacon resort prov...

My friend's mother has some form of a time share and my friend invited us to go to New Orleans a week before mardi gras.  I was kinda scared at first and didn't want to go, because of all of the crime, you hear about on the news.  Well they talked me into it and I had one of the best times of my life.We were two blocks from Bourbon street, so once we got there, we didn't h...

Being a Nascar fan like I'am, I was elated that Kyle Petty and Denny Hamlin were coming within hours of where I lived. I enlisted my dad and we went on a road trip to see them. Both of them were appearing at a Nascar Expo at Turning Stone Resort & Casino. So off we went on a roughly 5 hour drive. As we closed in on the casino I could see a high rise resort off in the distance. The thing...

Back in March of 2008 we went to my husbands mothers to visit in Holland, Mi. She offered to watch the kids for us to GET AWAY....WOOHOO!!! So I got online and searched for the perfect place to go and found Saugatuck, MI. We stayed in a really neat suite that used to be an old boat house called the River Suites. It had a living room, fire place, bedroom, fully stocked kitchen, and the best part...

Jack's Camp is one of those amazing places that you never knew existed, but then day dream about forever. I had the amazingly fortunate experience to spend some time in Botswana, Africa recently and Jack's Camp was on of our stops.You can only get in by small private aircraft as the planes have only two options to land- a dirt strip about a half mile from the camp or the Makgadikgadi Sa...

Me and my husband love taking the kiddo's on vacation, but when we get the rare opportunity to go someplace for one or two nights by ourselves we snatch it up quick. Last year we went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas for the weekend. We stayed at the Tall Pines Inn cabins. The cabins are just far enough to make you feel like you are in the woods but are really a short drive to all the dinin...

After a recommendation, we booked this resort for our wedding & honeymoon in September 2004 at Le Sport. Nicknamed - The Body Holiday and with their own strapline - "Give us your Body for a week, we'll give you back your minds", I can now vouch that it is not just a gimmick.This 4 star, all-inclusive, no children resort, the rooms are a little more basic than we would hav...
