Historic St Francis Inn Survives Hurricane & Restoration

February 7, 2017 by Dawn McAlexander

Historic St Francis Inn Survives Hurricane & Restoration

If you are headed to Florida anytime soon, why not check out someplace really historic? I like to get the most bang for my vacation buck so, if the places I visit have a story to tell {or many, many stories to tell}, then these are the places that I am most likely to want to venture to. The St Francis Inn in St Augustine, Fl. has undergone an extensive renovation after damage … [Read more...] about Historic St Francis Inn Survives Hurricane & Restoration

A Tour Of The Mantissa Boutique Hotel #sponsored #experiencehartsville

On our recent visit to Hartsville, South Carolina, we got to stay at a boutique hotel called The Mantissa. We were really unfamiliar with anything in the area when we rode into town, including the hotel, so we really didn't know what to expect.

We … [Read more...] about A Tour Of The Mantissa Boutique Hotel #sponsored #experiencehartsville

When we recently visited Florence, South Carolina, we got the opportunity to stay in another such place in the Hotel … [Read more...] about A Tour Of The Beautiful Hotel Florence #sponsored #VisitFlo

The Pros And Cons Of Renting A Beach House

Pros & Cons Of Renting A Beach House

A few months ago, some friends invited me to tag along with them on their trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They had rented a house in Hatteras and we all chipped in to rent this 3 story beach house with excellent views of both the sound and the ocean. Because of this, we all went to the beach for a week for super cheap. Though I have traveled extensively lately, I had … [Read more...] about The Pros And Cons Of Renting A Beach House

Old Mill Lodging Condo #320 Daydreamin'

Old Mill Lodging Review ~ As many of you have been reading, Jay and I took a much needed vacation this past Labor Day weekend. All alone. This was the first vacation that we had ever taken alone and we were really excited. Yes, we had no honeymoon, either. *gasp!* Sometimes it's scary choosing a place online - then getting there and seeing that the pictures were a … [Read more...] about Enjoy The Comforts Of Home With Old Mill Lodging Cottage Rentals In Pigeon Forge #sponsored
