    The Ultimate Guide to a Gulf Shores Girl’s Trip – What to Do, Where to Stay and Dine While Here

    May 19, 2020 / 19 Comments

    I was a guest on a Gulf Shores girl’s trip recently. Flights, accommodations, meals and excursions were included. This is my honest take on what I loved, the things we did and the ideal girl’s getaway to Gulf Shores. My dream state often involves a beach house, waves, tangerine sunrises and blazing crimson sunsets that stain the sky. In this scenario, I picture myself staying here writing for a month, or more. Recently, I had a brief taste of that on a Gulf Shores Girl’s Trip to Fort Morgan’s Barefoot Beach House. In November, as our 12-day girl’s trip neared a close, we pulled into a spacious luxury beachfront home…

    Taking on Space Camp at US Space and Rocket Center

    July 19, 2017 / 23 Comments

    It’s the T Minus countdown that trips us up multiple times. The landing part is smooth. The launch pretty much textbook. But then a mechanical failure threatens the entire mission and time gets jumbled. Over and over. I wonder if the astronauts at first have this much trouble. Something tells me they do not struggle with this simple task the way we do at space camp. Why Am I At Huntsville’s Space Camp? We, are a group of influencers, travel writers gathered, two days prior to the launch of TBEX travel Bloggers Exchange conference in Huntsville, Alabama. We are a strange crew from around the world.

    Home 2 Suites Huntsville, Alabama – Home Sweet Home

    June 20, 2017 / 22 Comments

    Home 2 Suites Huntsville is an affordable, welcoming, home away from home. Earlier this year I headed to TBEX, a travel blogger expo and conference in Huntsville, Alabama. TBEX rotates to many different cities and countries and there are typically 3 of these events a year. I am lucky to make it to one at most. Huntsville, Alabama and a trip to the deep south beckoned as did Space CAMP. But more on that amazing experience later. Here’s what I discovered at Home 2 Suites Huntsville. While visiting Huntsville we opted to stay at Home 2 Suites. This property is joined to the Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton and…

    Exceptional Gulf Shores Breakfast Restaurants in Alabama

    May 31, 2017 / 14 Comments

    The Gulf Shores breakfast scene has me rethinking my simple breakfast style. With so many scrumptious southern options and restaurants that do breakfast well, it’s hard not to become a breakfast junkie here. What kind of breakfast do you eat? Are you a hearty bacon and eggs kind of person? A French Toast kind of girl, or the coffee and cereal type? I’m a coffee and yogurt person. Getting the kids out the door, and starting work early is a high priority here, so my breakfast style is simple. But that simplicity can get a little boring and I’m the first to admit that. So, having the chance to dine at…

    May 5, 2017 / 22 Comments

While attending TBEX Travel Bloggers Exchange conference I look forward to sharing several Alabama experiences that are new to me. Unique Alabama experiences: When you attend TBEX in any of their numerous locations one of the biggest benefits of the conference is the amazing Travel Media Familiarization Tours.
