One of my favorite events at Disney’s Epcot is the annual International Flower & Garden Show. I just love walking among all of those creatively constructed topiaries, flower gardens, and butterfly displays while enjoying the warm (okay, “hot”) Florida sun. This year’s event is March 4 through May 17, 2015 and will feature a host […]

Gaylord Hotels holds Christmas 2014 ICE! Extravaganza
11/19/2014 by
There’s not much that will get this beach girl to willingly walk into a room full of ice with temperatures in the single digits. The one thing that will is when the location is a Gaylord hotel and the event is ICE! Plus, it gives me the chance to actually wear the cute, fur-trimmed boots […]

This is going to be a short and sweet post, but I just can’t pass up wishing a happy birthday to two of my favorite attractions in the World. It’s no secret that I am a big fan of Disney’s ‘It’s a Small World’ attraction. I’ve written about it and even have the happy song […]
Busch Gardens Ambassador Blogger Meet-Up and Opening Weekend
03/17/2014 by
I just had the best weekend ever. The weather was beautiful (it’s snowing now, but let’s not dwell on that), I got in a ton of walking time, rode some fun rides, saw a couple of shows, smelled some lovely spring flowers, met the most adorable puppies on earth and learned about a really cool […]
Spend a Week in Paradise with Zac Brown (sort of)
02/24/2014 by
When I bought my new vehicle, I was given a free six-month subscription to Sirius XM. Well, those folks sure know what they’re doing because I’m currently hooked on Radio Margaritaville. My six months just ended, and I, of course, had no other choice but to renew (and pay). I’m glad I did because I […]
Discover Bodhi by the Beach at the 2014 Bermuda Yoga Festival
12/09/2013 by
Practicing planks and up dogs with views of sapphire-soaked water and coral reefs sounds like a dream come true to this island girl. The soft pink sand of Bermuda is better than any yoga mat I’ve ever used. It seems that the Bermuda Department of Tourism thinks like me. Kind of a scary thought for them, […]

Half Shell Raw Bar, Key West, Makes Cover of Kenny Chesney single ‘When I See This Bar’
08/26/2013 by
Laid-back beach bars, island locations and good music always seem to go hand in hand. If anything can bring it home even more, and toss in an artistic touch, it is an artist/performer like Kenny Chesney. A Key West establishment that sings of the images and feelings evoked in many of Chesney’s songs has just […]
