[post_content] => Land of Intrigue
Rolling olive tree covered hills, towering snowcapped mountains, rocky coastlines, ancient Roman ruins, endless sand dunes, imperial cities with Royal palaces and exotic ancient marketplaces are all part of the allure of this land of legends and mysteries. The people, cuisines and cultures are a mix or Berber, Arab, African and European melded into a warm, welcoming and vibrant country.
Morocco is situated in the northwest corner of Africa, a short flight or ferry ride from Spain. We started in the city of Fes with its well preserved Andalusian and African architecture that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Situated in the hills outside Fes are the ancient ruins of Volubilis dating back to 3rd century B.C. This city was the furthest trading outpost of the Roman Empire. The abandonment of the site for centuries ensured an excellent state of conservation.
Our travel was facilitated by our local driver Ahmed who served as tour guide, driver, historian and friend. Travelling from rolling green hills, the scenery slowly changed to deep gorges and river valleys, to the never ending sand dunes of the Sahara Desert. At the last outpost, our transport shifted from 4x4 SUV to the original 4x4, dromedaries (a one-humped relative of the camel). Our trek took us into the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi where we overnighted in a luxurious Berber camp featuring private tents with ensuite bathrooms and hot running water.
Heading into the Atlas Mountains, rivers cut deep ravines such as the Todra Gorges and the valleys are lined with thousands of Kasbahs, 17th century fortresses.
The one that stands out is Kasbah Amridil with its intricate streets, ancient wells, olive-oil presses and bread ovens.
Leaving the mountains behind, the imperial city of Marrakech with its markets, mosques, palaces and gardens, stylish accommodations and restaurants, is an experience to be lived. While many old-world hotels can be found, it is now luxurious riads, extravagant homes or palaces in the medinas (the old, walled cities) converted to a hotel that are the best accommodations. Riad Kniza not only is an authentic Moroccan experience, it is one that will open your heart to its peoples; the owner Mohamed Bouskri is a gentleman and entrepreneur who has also opened a cultural museum and high end-boutique in a quiet corner of the otherwise bustling medina. From the riad, the shops, restaurants and markets are just outside the door.
Our last stop was Casablanca, a modern city whose African influences abound. Sitting on the shores of Atlantic Ocean is the Hassan II Mosque, the largest mosque in Africa.
Morocco and its unforgettable experiences and unforgettable memories truly makes for a perfect ESCAPADITA.

[post_content] => Park City, Utah
Recently, we ventured off to one of the nations’ premier skiing destinations; Park City, Utah a destination for skiers of all ages. Deer Valley Mountain is well known for the unique alpine experience with some of the most progressive long terrain, world-class grooming and breath-taking views. To help make the most of our ski vacation, Deer Valley limits the number of lift tickets sold each day, so make sure to purchase tickets prior to arrival to guarantee access. Skiing is not the only way to enjoy the snow; you can also try dogsledding, snowmobiling or tubing.
During our stay, we enjoyed the luxurious amenities of the Montage Deer Valley. An authentic yet refined mountain lodge located less than five minutes from Park City’s Main Street, it offers ski‐in/ski‐out access to the slopes and the largest spa in Utah, along with many dining options.
Park City is a great destination for film lovers as it is home to the Sundance Film Festival, where some of the most innovative and touching independent films of each year are premiered from January thru February. With a rich silver mining history, the town has maintained quite a bit of that charm including the High West Distillery & Saloon, which has been here since 1870, and the Victorian architecture of the old mining cabins on its infamous Historic Main Street which are a truly unique sight to behold.
With all that this beautiful town has to offer, Park City makes for the perfect ESCAPADITA.

[post_content] => North Carolina and Tennessee.
America’s most visited national park is a forest-covered, ancient mountain range straddling the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. The Great Smoky Mountains is home to incredibly diverse plant life, creating a lush backdrop inhabited by elk, black bear, wild turkey and fireflies and much more.
We avoided the crowded northern entrances and stayed in Bryson City, North Carolina. From there, we were able to easily access the 71 miles of the Appalachian Trail that run through the park. A visit to Mingo Falls allowed for breathtaking views and relaxing sounds under a 120-foot waterfall, one of the tallest in the region.
Within the park you will also find historic remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture and log buildings including Mingus Mill. Built in 1886, this grist mill uses a water turbine and still operates to this day!
After so many adventures, we spent a day relaxing by the stream and enjoying another very popular regional past time. Bryson City is home to the Annual Fly Fishing Festival, and experienced guides are ready to help. We caught and released many beautiful fish that day including rainbow, brown and native brook trout.
Outside the park, we visited a true natural wonder, Ruby Falls. America’s tallest underground waterfall is found 1,120 feet underground where the water falls 145 feet from the cavern ceiling and seeps out the crevices below. As Johnny Cash said, you really should See Ruby Fall!
The Smokies are a perfect combination of peaceful and idyllic natural areas combined with activities and adventures making it a perfect ESCAPADITA.

[post_content] => A Contemporary Coastal Staycation.
Nestled in the hills above the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, you will find a luxury resort perfect for business travel, family holiday or a local staycation such as ours.
The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa is a luxury getaway with a picturesque and especially convenient setting; shopping, entertainment, golf and rolling hills perfect for hiking. We enjoyed Ocean Pearl Spa with services that helped restore the mind and body. The spa incorporates marine-based botanicals and organic skincare products for body treatments that nourish, purify and restore. We enjoyed body and massage treatments which melted away tension and uplifted our spirits.
After a relaxing morning, we enjoyed authentic Italian brick fired pizza, beers, and burgers, over lunch at 7 Mile Kitchen. The restaurant is set atop a hill for a memorable experience in a relaxed setting.
The property is a coastal paradise with views to the ocean and we seized the moment and enjoyed cocktails and conversation until dinner. The dining highlight during our stay was Twenty/20 which specializes in coastal cuisine using ingredients from local providers within a 20-mile radius. We enjoyed dinner on the terrace with uniquely crafted selections such as pan-seared halibut and a maple bacon bourbon cocktail.
When you are ready for a good night’s rest, the rooms at the pet-friendly hotel are inspired by the coast; combining cool tones and modern decor. Covering all the essentials, the Westin is the perfect place to refresh making it a perfect ESCAPADITA.
