Wining, Dining, and Enjoying Mendocino, CA

Mendocino, California is one of the most beautiful and scenic destinations of North America in my book.  This very place inspired me to ask my then girlfriend to marry me and we have fortunately been back to visit once since then.  I cannot say enough great things about the area which encompasses the Redwood forest and the neighboring towns of Boonville and Yorkville. 

 

When going through Boonville, beer is highly toted as well as wine.  Any hop lover will enjoy the local brew as a refreshing break to all of the wine that is

Dining in Las Vegas

Not too many years ago, using the word ‘dining’ in relation to Las Vegas would have elicited laughter from any gourmet. True, you could get a steak for $2, but it was barely edible. The ‘all-you-can-eat’ buffets for a few dollars were no better. The cheap food was there, as everyone knew, simply to draw in the crowds, who would then spend money gambling.

Park City: Dining and Nightlife

Park City: Dining and Nightlife

Park City lodging choices are numerous and diverse. Hotels, condos, private residence clubs and private homes are the most popular choices for travelers. Hotels can be found slope side or in the heart of the downtown area. Each hotel offers something a little bit different depending on how much you would like to spend. You will be able to find small budget hotels or very expensive high class luxury hotels. The high class hotels are well worth the money. From the moment you walk through the lobby doors, you will not have to worry about a thing. After staying at one of these types of hotels, you will never want to stay anywhere else. Another Park City lodging choice for large groups or families would be a condo rental or a private residence club. A condo rental can be a great choice for a family. Many times condo rentals don’t offer the full services of a hotel or a private residence club but offer full kitchens and all the main ingredients to make your family trip memorable and more affordable. Private Residence Clubs are becoming the lodging choice of the future. These clubs can offer 2, 3 and four bedrooms suites in large complexes. These can be quite luxuries with a full staff including concierge, bell staff, ski valet, and sometimes twice daily maid service. A private residence club can be a great choice for a family getaway.
