Greetings! This is a clear example of why I need to write on hre more often...the last 2 weeks have been something! Started in Ithaca, NY. We stayed at an absolutely stunning hotel called La Tourelle Resort & Spa. Every now and then we get a pampering experience...this was one of them. The rooms were dreamy. The spa provided incredible relaxation. We took a stunning walk through the snowy woods abutting the grounds. Plus a complimentary wine tasting of Fing...

No more week long sit-downs and flying everywhere. Nope, this is a 1-nighter. We'll have a couple of split-weeks (3 or 4 nights in one place) but most of ...

Greetings! Wow, what a week this has been...HOSTFEST What is Hostfest, you might ask yourself...Hostfest is the country's largest Scandanavian Festival. And wow it is huge. People come from all over the world to celebrate their Scandanavian heritage. Everywhere you look there are people in traditional garb, random accoridan players, wafting aromas of unpronouncible food...And it all takes place on the grounds of the North Dakota State Fair. The main part is in ...
