vacation

It's the same sun, same earth, why does it look so much better 'at the camp?' It's because that's the place where you can set your worries aside, make some memories, and let your hair down. And nothing sets the mood there quite like the right music...except for maybe the s...

A quick search of the web for "sun skin cancer" leads right to the Web MD site, which explains how the sun damages your skin and how it causes cancer. The Mayo Clinic recommends to not use sunscreen that is past it's expiration date or older than 3 years.

High gas prices and a soft economy have many in the travel industry fearing that Americans are going to ditch the traditional summer vacation this year. But is that really the case?

When we were kids, mom and dad would load us up into the van every summer and we would head to Rutherford Beach.  For a whole week!!  We had a pop-up camper, and (with 8 kids in the family), some of us would sleep in the camper, some would sleep in the van...

My brother brought home pictures of his visit to Mont Saint-Michel, near Normandy, France. First constructed in the 8th Century, it is still a working monastery, once only accessible during low tide.  Over years of coastal erosion and other natural influences, local authorities were prompted to make changes to once again make Mont St. Michel an island.

Each year I save my pennies until I have enough to pay for my most-anticipated vacation, the Cayamo cruise.  This year's cruise sailed from Miami to The Dominion Republic, St. Maarten, and St. Barts, and featured  Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning artists alike

If you are looking for something to occupy yourself and the kids while they are out of school this week (or the Christmas break, etc), the Dinosaur Exhibit at the Lafayette Science Museum is a pretty big deal!

Shannon surprised me with a three day weekend trip for my birthday. It all started at work Friday morning, receiving well-wishes from co-workers and listeners alike (thank you, by the way!). One listener, whom I'll call SB, even baked my favorite cake and brought it by the station Friday afternoon. It ...

Avery Island is one of my favorite places to visit. It is a getaway that is just down the road from Lafayette and is a perfect place for family, friends, or just a small trip alone. The grounds are beautiful and the history is interesting. Located 140 miles West of New Orleans and surrounded by swamps and marshes, Avery Island is a natural paradise.

Okay, I have suspected this for years, but now there are studies that back up my theory:  Women DO pack too much clothing when taking trips. Case in point:  A trip that Shannon and I took to Europe at the beginning of 2004.

Although we didn't bring any kids on the trip, it was pretty obvious that Beaches Boscobel Resort and Golf Club is a great place for kids.

Our first excursion during our stay at the Beaches Boscobel Luxury Included Resort and Golf Club was a catamaran cruise on the beautiful and exciting oceans after a morning full of "liquid sunshine."

Thanks to Airbnb -- a website that describes itself as "eBay for space" -- Richy McWealthisons can now rent out the entire country of Liechtenstein for $70,000 a night. Buyers who splurge on Liechtenstein can accommodate 450 to 900 guests in over 500 bedrooms and must book at lease two-consecutive nights.

One of the things I most love to do is travel and one of my favorite places to visit is the U.S. West Coast.  My husband and I were blessed with a chance to take a Spring Break adventure weekend getaway to California over the last few days and I wanted to share some of the beautiful and unusual sights with you, including a celebrity sighting!
