Moloaa Bay

Moloa`a Bay, Kauai
Discover the peaceful beauty of this secluded bay on the Northern Shore of Kauai. Moloa`a Bay has one of the few beaches not accessible to the public. Enjoy the 'Garden Islands' ocean and mountain views from the wrap-around lanai of a romantic vacation house rental such as Moloa`a Bay Pole House. If you decide to leave the house you can travel further north to hike along tropical trails edging the Na Pali Coast or head south for 50 foot viability scuba diving or surfing.

Benton Hot Springs

California Hot Springs
Benton Hot Springs is a rustic, serene ranch nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. About 35 miles from Bishop and Mammoth in the rugged, small town of Benton you'll find a treasure of a Bed & Breakfast and campsites (each with it's own hot springs hot tub) which has been in the same family for over 80 years. Though the surroundings are rustic, amenities such as satellite television, robes and refrigerators are in each room. The natural hot springs hot tubs are clean and sanitary and just beautiful. If you like shopping there is one antique store that the owner will gladly open when you want to pay it a visit, or Bishop is only about 35 miles away.

Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort is a gorgeous, peaceful little resort in Avila Valley that caters to relaxation and romance. Each of the rooms has its own private balcony spa. (TIP: Be sure to request your preference of the sulfur spa or fresh water spa) On the property you'll find additional hot tubs surrounded by Sycamores, the Gardens of Avila Restaurant, a Labyrinth & Meditation Garden, a spa with facialist and masseuse and area hiking trails. A Yoga facility is scheduled to open in Spring of 2004.

Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands boast some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world. Grand Cayman is the largest and most populated island of the three Cayman Isles with plenty of duty-free shopping and good Caribbean food within reach. The capital city Georgetown boasts some of the finest cuisine and shopping in the Caribbean. Local goings on can be found in the news publication Destination Cayman Points of interest are: Stingray City and submarine dives up to 1,000 feet deep. There is no river runoff which gives the surrounding waters their sometimes over 120 foot visibility.

Virgin Islands
The Virgin Islands are known for their crystal-clear waters, gorgeous beaches and sunny weather. Activities such as kayaking, hiking through tropical forest, world-class diving, sailing and sunbathing can fill the day. Many honeymooners enjoy the British Virgin Islands which are adjacent to the US Virgin Islands and comprise 36 islands principally: Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. The US Virgin Islands with the principle islands of St. John, St. Croix and St. Thomas all have hotels, resorts, rental houses and condominiums. St. John consists of 2/3 park land and offers great beaches, hiking and specialty shopping.

Central Coast - California

Cambria/San Simeon
The Central Coast has much to offer and Cambria is a perfect place to take it all in. Cambria is a charming village that will remind you of simpler times. The Cambria Wine Shop on Main Street is a must if you enjoy wine. Interesting wines from around the world are available for tasting & purchase and Dennis the shops owner will dazzle you with his wine knowledge and his humor. This quaint town has lovely boutique shops, antiques stores and casual and fine dining restaurants. Along Moonstone Beach Drive you'll find beach side accommodations such as the Fog Catcher Inn that are just delightful and remarkably reasonable.

Near Cambria is San Simeon, famous for the extraordinary Hearst Castle, a must if you like architecture, history, antiquities or Old Hollywood. The scenic Bob Jones bike/walking trail is a pleasant path to visit Fat Cats cafe for breakfast on Avila Beach - Port San Luis . Enjoy a 2nd-story view overlooking the ocean and a dandy seafood meal at the Pier side restaurant in Pismo Beach. Downtown San Luis Obispo is full of charming shops and galleries. There are plenty of towns near Cambria with winery's that are open for tasting's such as Paso Robles.

Tahiti image courtesy of www.ThPhoto.com

Tahiti
Get ready for crystal clear blue-green waters. World class scuba diving and snorkeling are popular activities here - also 4x4 safaris and outrigger canoeing if you want to stay on top of the water. The airport of Tahiti is on the same island as the capital city of Papette. From Papette there are island hopping cruse ships that travel out of the Port de Papette that take you to each of the islands for brief visits. The other islands of Tahiti are Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Taha’a. Rates may be more reasonable on Tahiti than on the other islands which will require an additional inter-island flight and play host to many exclusive hotels. To check out places to stay in Tahiti go to: Tahiti.com or Air Tahiti-Nui. Tahiti Nui has newer airbus planes serving Los Angeles that often feature reasonable rates. The food is fabulous just about everywhere. One guest wrote: "We never found a bad place to eat. We enjoyed getting food from hot trucks that came to the town center each night and set up to serve everyone. It is quite the gathering."

Waikiki, Hawaii
On Waikiki you can spend a relaxing time going from beach to restaurant to hotel and back again. If you're staying on Waikiki you'll be walking distance from the beaches as well as the nightlife and shopping. Waikiki resort hotels such as the Halekulani Hotel or Outrigger Waikiki often have galleries, restaurants, bars and boutiques all in one property - so you never have to venture very far. (Note: if the hotel features an outdoors band you may want to ask for a room on the lower levels. Balcony seats, without the crowd.) Points of interest: Pearl Harbor, the Dole Plantation, a Paradise Cove Luau, Iolani Palace, Diamond Head, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and surfing the warm Pacific waters with the winter months bringing the best waves to the North Shore.

New Orleans

New Orleans, Louisiana
Bourbon Street is happening 24-hours a day. The food and shopping and local flavor are great fun. One of the top hotels in New Orleans and on Bourbon is the Royal Sonesta, a 5-Star hotel with a ton of southern charm. Points of Interest: Jackson Square, the French Market, and Preservation Hall if you're into jazz. Ride the St. Charles Ave. street car out to Commander's Palace serving up 25 cent martinis at lunch and follow it up with a walking tour of the Garden District. Harrah's in the French Quarter offers the only gambling on land. Dr. Wagner's Honey Island swamp tour. Cemetery and voodoo walking tours.

The food is incredible everywhere you go in New Orleans. Dining points of interest: The French Market restaurant on Decatur has balcony seating to enjoy the jazz, amazing crab cakes and charbroiled oysters. Cafe Beignet for coffee. Gamay Bistro for fried chicken. Gabrielle's and the Gumbo shop in the French Quarter. Dickie Brennens Bourbon House Seafood (Oysters anyway you can get them with a special hot cocktail sauce - Dickie's is also known as the best breakfast place in town, plan for 2 hours - they also invented Banana's Foster) Desire Oyster Bar at the Royal Sonesta. Lafette's Blacksmith voted the *Best Dive Bar* by the Travel Channel because it doesn't have electric lighting - only candle light to see your sweetheart by.

Capri, Italy
A recent honeymooner told us that the next time they traveled back to Italy, they would skip everything else and only return to Capri. Capri has fascinated our great politicians, artists and writers for centuries. Here you will find historical Villas, the Blue Grotto," la Piazzetta", the panoramically perfect view from Mount Solaro, marina Piccola and so much more. The island of Capri overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Naples with Anacapri being the most unspoiled part of the island. If you really want to splash out, check out the 5-Star, Capri Palace Hotel & Spa on Anacapri where some of the rooms come with their own pool.

 

 

Greve in Chianti Italy
If you're looking to stay near Florence but don't want to necessarily be in the city, Greve is perfect for you.  Greve is 25 k South of Florence.  It's distinctive views are unlike any other in the famed Tuscany regions.  One of the finest villa's in the Chianti region is the Villa Bordoni.  Villa Bordoni is a lovely and romantic 16th century villa, nestled in the rolling hills above the town of Greve, the capital of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. Villa Bordoni was recently listed as a Condé Nast Traveller's "60 Best New Hotels in the World" for 2006.
