    Where To Stay In Kauai: Hanalei Colony Resort

    June 10, 2016 / 1 Comment

    From the minute I walked into my condo at the Hanalei Colony Resort, I was in awe. The ocean waves crashed upon the shore just steps from my door. The tradewinds blew through my room reminding me that I was indeed in Hawaii. If you’re wondering where to stay in Kauai, and you are looking for a condo, you can’t do better than the Hanalei Colony Resort. Where To Stay In Kauai: Hanalei Colony Resort The tropical, Hawaiian-style furnishings are beautiful, the bed comfortable and inviting. There was also a second bedroom with a twin daybed and a second bathroom, so there is a lot of room in the 850-square foot condo.…

    The Equus Hotel Waikiki: A Honolulu Boutique Hotel

    June 8, 2016 / No Comments

    The Equus Hotel Waikiki is located on the quiet side of Waikiki, right on Ala Moana Blvd. This is the home of the Hawai‘i Polo Club where polo matches, polo lessons and spectacular trail rides become available to hotel guests. It’s a locally owned hotel, something you don’t find much of anymore in Honolulu, and this fact really shows up in the service from the friendly staff. You really feel the aloha spirit here and that the staff will do anything to make sure you have a comfortable stay. Location Of The Equus Hotel This hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes walk to Ala Moana Center, the main…

    Waikiki Condos: Darmic Waikiki Banyan Review

    June 7, 2016 / No Comments

    If you’re planning a dream vacation to Hawaii, and looking for Waikiki condos, I can tell you that Darmic Waikiki Banyan is a perfect choice. I just enjoyed a lovely four nights there, and I’d recommend it to anyone. These self-catering one bedroom condos have everything you need for a vacation to Hawaii. The thing I loved most about the condo was the location. It was a short one block walk to Waikiki Beach, and yet, I was never disturbed by noise, something that is hard to find in Waikiki. All of the condos at Darmic Waikiki Banyan are one-bedroom, and the condo was much larger than I expected. The…

    NINETEEN-A Stylish Brighton Guesthouse In England

    June 5, 2016 / No Comments

    I thought it was the best decision ever to stay in Brighton rather than make the trek to London for a recent flight leaving from Gatwick Airport. It was an even better decision to stay at NINETEEN,  a 7 bedroom luxury B&B in the heart of Brighton. I was greeted by the very hospitable Mark and Arif, who made me feel right at home as soon as I walked into the charming Victorian townhouse. The Superior King Room At NINETEEN Brighton Guesthouse The first thing I noticed about the Superior King room was all of the light pouring in. I love rooms that get lots of light. It gave the room…

    Athens Greece Hotels: Hotel Kerameion, An Apartment Hotel In Athens

    May 24, 2016 / No Comments

    When you’re traveling, there is nothing like arriving at a hotel that makes you feel like it is a home away from home. Indeed, that is exactly what I felt when I arrived at Hotel Kerameion, an apartment hotel in Athens. Stavros, the owner, was kind enough to meet me where the taxi had to drop me off, and even to carry my luggage for me. He immediately made me feel welcome, and even helped me with getting some laundry started even though it was pretty late at night when I arrived. He even helped me carry my luggage to the taxis upon my departure. I felt like he was…

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
