Island resorts are typically luxurious, but Shipwreck Plantation, on Hilton Head Island , still managed to blow my expectations out of the water. My husband and I couldn't have planned a better weekend trip. Not only are we nature junkies, but we also happen to be (not-so-talented) sports fiends...

Spending Autumn in Park City, Utah can feel like a guilty pleasure. It has the long days of the desert southwest but without its oppressive heat. While other places have the famed season changes, here you find only one difference: autumns are just as beautiful but no one seems to know about it ABOUT...

Speaking as a baby boomer, when I was a kid, Ft. Lauderdale meant one thing - spring break! Like most of us, however, the things we found enjoyable 40 years ago don't quite meet our expectations now. I really don't like staying in a seedy motel, sharing the bed (or the floor) with 5 or 6 other...

As a teenager growing up in Ft. Lauderdale in the 1960s, I was fortunate to be able to spend Spring Break on Ft. Lauderdale Beach every weekend.

As much as I love the sugar sand beaches and emerald green waters of Panama City Beach, you couldn't pay me to go there in the spring. As a middle-aged adult (actually, I prefer the term "baby boomer"), I don't wish to spend my vacation surrounded by throngs of scantily-clad teens and...
