 Luxury Villas: Here’s one of the most interesting stories we’ve heard in our travels. We recently stayed in a penthouse suite at Tropical Villa Vacations in Wailea, Maui, which is adjacent to the acclaimed Grand Wailea Resort (which is known for its children’s activity pool). You know what some people who stay at Tropical Villa Vacations in Maui do? They rent a week at the villas – because they are luxuriously gorgeous and spacious – and simultaneously, they book rooms for a week, next door at the Grand Wailea, simply so their kids can have access to all the fun in the activity pool. Now that’s the meaning of true luxury!

 Wine Tasting & Tours: The bountiful state of Oregon is diverse in terrain and weather, from its dry, high desert prairies to its lush, green hills and rain-blessed valleys. This geological diversity, coupled with the pioneering spirit of the winegrowers and winemakers who live here, has given the state an enviable reputation for producing quality wines. When you count the number of wineries, Oregon is said to be third in the nation. Yet most Oregon wine producers are small, family-owned operations—yielding relatively small numbers in case production. Only about one-quarter of the total wine produced in Oregon makes it out of the Northwest.
In short, the best way to experience Oregon wine is to visit the source. Fortunately, this is not too difficult since each of wine regions have wineries located an hour’s drive or less from an airport. Because in many cases the wineries are strung far apart, you may prefer to leave the driving to someone else once you get there. With an increased consciousness that drinking and driving do not mix, wine country tours have recently become even more popular. But they are not created equal. Large tour buses and vans can seem efficient, and somewhat economically priced, but you sacrifice the intimacy and personal education offered by smaller operations. So choose a region to visit, and before you board the bus, take a look into some of the smaller, more personalized tour operations in the area.
