Think half a day is too short to do Key West justice? Think again.

Mani-Pedi’s While You Wait
We all hate waiting. Waiting in traffic, waiting in line at the grocery store, waiting for a connecting flight at an airport. In this day of 'go, go, go!' it just feels like wasted time. The trick is to turn the time into a treat and use it for something that you don't normally make time for. In my real life I never get a manicure. Mostly because I just don't have that block of time available to go to the salon, get the manicure and wait for it to dry. Wait, did I say 'wait'? Next time you have some downtime at an airport check out one of these terminal spas. Terminal Treatments Source: Travel [...]

New Orleans April 2009
New Orleans April 2009 Ah, a girl's weekend in New Orleans! I've done a few of these over the years, and I never get tired of it. New Orleans is a crazy place; sometimes crazier than others, but always interesting. I've been there with boyfriends, girlfriends, marathon runners, and had a fantastic time every time. This weekend was girl's only. 5 of us for some food and fun. Unfortunately, I got a bit left behind and arrived a day late...not mentioning any particular airline's name, but NEVER FLY THROUGH NEWARK!! I managed to get myself there by noon on Saturday however, and quickly made up for lost time. After a bonus celebrity sighting, I met Lori [...]

Carnival Cruise February 2009
So one of the requirements for my CLIA certification is to go on cruises...tough work, I know! In February I sailed on the Carnival Sensation out of Port Canaveral, Florida. We had a group of 10 people, ranging in age from 4 to 49. I personally think cruises are a great vacation experience for groups of people. There's so much diverse activity going on on the ship every day and night, most likely there's something for everyone. So, my friend Pam and I arrived in Orlando on a Wednesday; the day before the cruise departed. I'd recommend this for a couple of reasons: 1) Lots less stress if you're where you need to be the day [...]

LA in December
It had been a while since I'd been to the Los Angeles area, so my friend Charlyn and I decided to check out the Left Coast for a little shopping and celebrity watching. We arrived Friday noonish for a long weekend. Great 70 degree weather...a little incongruous while hearing Christmas carols and seeing Christmas trees for sale on the street corners, but better than the 30 degree weather at home. We rented our car from Hertz (long line, but nice car) and headed to our hotel for the weekend. The Hollywood Celebrity Hotel is in a great location; about a block away from Mann's Chinese Theatre and at the base of the Hollywood Hills. The hotel [...]
