Some professional bloggers post three to four times a day on the blogs, simply because this endless addition of new content helps the criminals to get regular readers. All I can say is continue.

You'll love TX! It's a great state. What is your favorite American food? Personally, I'm partial to French food. We should just swap places! :smile: Emmanuelle, I’m sorry to hear about your hubby’s accident. :sad: I hope he’s recovering well. You’ll love TX! It’s a great state.

It's always refreshing to get away from home. Emmanuelle - How fun! Are you coming to the US this year? I know what you mean about the food!! I had dessert twice a day while we were away. :grin: Margo - Oooh, I've always wanted to stay in a place with a turret. There was a turreted house down the street from us in our old neighborhood and we called it the castle. I was always fascinated by it. Emily - Lapa Rios sounds beautiful. But I don't know about those frogs!! That sounds a little scary. :eek: Do they really throw poison darts?! Mimi - I had no idea Poinciana was set at Mar-a-Lago. Very cool. I'm going to hunt down that book. Thanks for that piece of info/history. Shana - here's to quiet pools! So relaxing. Kathy - I agree. An escape doesn't have to be only quiet and relaxing. Sometimes nothing but a big city will do. Like you, I'm a huge lover of blending history with modernity. I haven't been to London in ages. But I want to go back. :smile: Booklover1335 – I hear ya!

I like big cities for the energy they supply and the stories that I see everywhere I look. Right now I have to say London is my new favorite escape. I love walking past a brand new building and then a church that's been serving the community 1190! That's just so cool. Kathy :) PS Love the pics, Nancy. I don’t know that I favorite escape.

I like to sit by a pool, read a book, and have a fruity drink. I don't care where the pool is as long as it's relatively quiet. Sometimes I think it would be fun to have a pool in my backyard, but then I think of all the work to maintain it, and that's not fun! Oh, that beach is gorgeous.

I love Pass-a-Grille Beach on the Gulf, just south of St. Pete Beach. It's quiet, funky, and beautiful. But I adore trips to the NC mountains for a change of pace. Weird trivia...remember Phyllis A. Whitney? She wrote gothics. Her book Poinciana is set at Mar-a-Lago. Marjorie Post invited her to stay at the house as a guest, and she used it for the setting of the book. Neat, huh? Gorgeous.

It' on the Osa Peninsula in the middle of virgin rain forest. There's fantastic hiking and great food. The resort is luxurious, even though it's remote. We've been twice now and I can't wait to take my kids, once they're old enough (it's not recommended for kids under 5). The first time we went, when we were checking in to the hotel, a poison dart frog hopped into the lobby. How cool is that?
