Romantic getaway

There comes a time in everyone's life, I think, when you begin to consider vacations and trips that don't include children. I don't have anything against children. I just don't have any young children at home anymore. So, my thoughts have begun to drift toward a Cancun All Inclusive Adults Only vacation. Preferably with someone I care about, of course. Now to find that someone!

 

These kinds of resorts cater to the needs of adults, including the menus available, the beach front locations, and the room amenities. I can actually imagine myself spending some time at a place like that, enjoying the company of a special person and finding places and ways to make him feel even more special.

After all, gourmet food, open-ceiling showers, romantic bedrooms, jacuzzis all make for sensuous surroundings for honeymooners or those who just want a beautiful get-away.

Entertainers never die

...they just move to Branson.

I live within a few hours' drive from Branson, which makes it a very attractive vacation spot for those of us around here. Anyone can spend a weekend on a getaway and have a great time up there.

So, if "entertainers never die, they just move to Branson", what happens to people like me who are keenly interested in entertainment when we retire? Maybe, we should move to Branson, too! A piece of Branson property could be just perfect for me. I could retire up there and have all those shows at my disposal whenever I want to see them. In between, I can view and review movies, the way I've done since I started this blog.

Sounds perfect to me!

Celebrity retreats

I've wondered where celebrities go to get away from crowds and work. Where do they hide out and go on retreat?

The media will report that they've gone to Europe or Africa. Sometimes, we hear they've gone to lake Tahoe to a private lodge or cabin there. Maybe they stay home and just don't answer the phone. Or maybe they even take advantage of Pigeon Forge cabins, where they can lay low and just rest for awhile.

God any opinions or news about this?

Intermission - Orlando hotels

In the Denzel Washington movie, Out of Time, Washington plays the chief of police of a small Florida town. I am not sure just where the town is or if it was fictional, but it makes me wonder if the cast stayed in some of the hotels in orlando while they were filming the movie.

These hotels are near many kinds of entertainment sites and resorts, so in between days of filming it would be very easy for actors and crew to find activities that would help them relax and have some fun. Considering the attractions in the Orlando area, including the nightlife and theme parks, there would be plenty to do that would provide a fun distraction from the hard work of filming.

Intermission - Bed and breakfast

Certainly, if you decide to stay at the Mendocino bed and breakfast, you won't be bothered with the kind of troubles Cleveland Heep had at his apartment complex in Lady in the Water. On the contrary, expect to stay in comfort and quiet while you enjoy the surrounding area. Expect to be given the star treatment, too.

A bed and breakfast inn is a more relaxed yet elegant type of accommodations than you'd find at the run-of-the-mill motel or hotel. You're treated like the guest you are.

Intermission - Branson

My daughter and her boyfriend have rented a car and are headed right now to Branson for the weekend. I know they'll have a wonderful time there, with all the shopping and shows available for entertainment. They will be back Sunday evening, probably after I am at work.

They couldn't take her little dog with them, so I'm dog-sitting this weekend. I don't mind, though. Tilly is just about as entertaining as any movie you want to watch. She's cute and friendly and playful. I know my daughter will miss her greatly while she's on this little jaunt.

Intermission - St. Thomas Catamaran

Looking for a new and exciting way to be entertained? How about a trip to the Virgin Islands? I have to admit, this does sound like a dream vacation to me. Anyone who went there would feel like a movie star when they get the star treatment like this!

You can book a voyage with Scubadu, a luxury st thomas catamaran, and live like a king or queen while sailing the azure waters surrounding St. Thomas. Dine in elegant luxury from a menu you've selected. Visit the bays and beaches you've chosen. Go swimming or snorkeling off the ship, secure in the knowledge that all measures have been taken to ensure your safe return to the boat. See the enthralling underwater vistas, and when you're through witnessing that breathtaking scene, be whisked away to the destination of your choice while you dine on gourmet fare aboard the boat.

As the dazzling sunset takes you into evening, relax in the comfortable accommodations of the boat and drift away into midnight dreams of seashores and a tropical paradise.

Intermission - Life's a beach

As springtime is upon us, thoughts turn to vacations and relaxation. Of course, we want fun and entertainment along with that so that we can fully enjoy the time away from our mundane jobs. I'm putting my vote in right now for Florida. More specifically, Orlando.

I've been to Orlando before but the trip was work related so I didn't get to stay and enjoy the city. I'd love to be able to visit for an extended period of time and take in all the sights and sounds of such a great vacation site. The beaches are just 40 minutes away and there are no less than 52 theme parks to enjoy. With so much to do there, it might be wise to look into vacation homes near Disney World so that the stay could be comfortable and homey. It's my understanding that a vacation home actually costs less to stay in than other accommodations such as hotels or motels.

Of course, a trip to Disney World is a must-do, but there's more to Orlando than Disney, so it would take an extended vacation to even begin to cover part of the attractions available there. Have you been there recently? What's your take on it?
