Most TV travel hosts have their own unique gimmicks – some are chefs, some are anthropologists and some are ex-TV commercial actors.
Once you escape the ritz and glitz of the South Shore, you begin to catch glimpses of the opulence ingrained in the historic fabric of Lake Tahoe.
In 1880, a visionary entrepreneur built a luxurious resort, with an elegant hotel and a gambling casino, on the shores of this deep blue lake hidden in the Sierra Mountains. By the turn of the century, Lake Tahoe had become a summer playground for the rich and famous families of Sacramento, San Francisco and Virginia City. A railroad spur was built in the late 1890’s making travel to the Lake easier, so more people came and more plush hotels sprang up to accommodate them.

It has always been my dream to live in a place where there are mountains and water co-exisitng side by side. The place that comes to mind is Lake Tahoe in California. You can snow-ski in the winter time and water-ski in the summertime and enjoy activities all year-round.
Canada boasts of a place that is similar in dynamic terrain; Collingwood, Ontario. This area just happens to be Ontario’s #1 destination for year-round fun and adventure. Collingwood is home to the Blue Mountain Ski Resort which has over 30 trails ranging from green (easy) to double black (expert). Blue Mountain Resort is a Intrawest Resort which is the same developers as Whistler and Blackhomb. I have heard only good things about Whistler/Blackhomb so I can imagine what Blue Mountain must be like.

Growing up in Georgia the closest beach for our family was Destin, Florida by choice. We could have gone to Panama City or even St. Simon on the Georgia coast but my mom and dad took us to Destin first and we went back again and again. Now that I’m older and love to fish I would jump at the chance to get back down to the Gulf and enjoy a fishing vacation.

“Do you have any white clothes?” asked a voice, rudely awakening me from a few hours of disturbed and uncomfortable sleep. “Come on, hurry up, we need to buy fruit and flowers before we meet the guru.”

When I told my mom I’d been dumped she laughed at me. I wasn’t surprised by her callousness as I am more often the dumper than the dumpee and it seemed about time that karma bit back.

rhetorical… I have only been to the Mexican side of the Caribbean and not to the many other destinations like St. John, USVI and Tortola, BVI. Like Mexico, the United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands have much beauty and ancient history to be explored.

I know Laverne and Shirley are long gone (at least off of the TV) but the adult beverages are still prominent in the land of cheese, beer and wine and that land is Fish Creek, Wisconsin in Door County. Visitors to this part of Wisconsin get to enjoy water sports on Lake Michigan in the summer, take snowmobile tours and sled rides in the winter and enjoy harvest time of the fall. Fall is the time when orchards and vineyards are harvested of their bountiful fruits.
