by shannon , 1 Response

I love to travel with my family. In my opinion, it is important to take your children out to see as much of the world as possible. Of all of the places we have been, however, my family's favorite vacation destination remains the Great Smoky Mountains. In fact, it is the only vacation spot we have returned to time and again. So far, we have been there a total of three times as a family, and these are some of our favorite sites to see.

My First View of Rome

by Mary Jo Manzanares , Leave Response

My first real impression of the city was coming up from the subway (Colosseo stop) and finding this in front of you. It literally took my breath away! Seeing it in books and photos cannot do justice to the sense of awe I felt at seeing this piece of the ...

Sit for a Spell and Look at the View

by Mary Jo Manzanares , Leave Response

It’s nice to see that hotels are giving thought to how to best use space that might otherwise be unused, giving guests additional way to enjoy the hotel and resort.

A recent stay at a beach resort property had this lovely feature — couches in the alcoves that overlooked the ocean. You could sit and have a drink and watch the sun go down. Sit there with a morning cup of coffee and plan your day. Or just meet ...

Ground Hog Day 2008 More Winter to Come

by Mary Jo Manzanares , Leave Response

At sunrise this morning, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, a furry little critter by the name of Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow.

Amid much hoopla and fanfare, this proclamation was read:

As I look around me, a bright sky I see, and a shadow beside me.
Six more weeks of winter it will be!

That’s right — six more weeks of winter. Thanks a lot, Phil! I’m ready for spring!
