Win a Spa Getaway Vacation in Napa Valley, CA

Quick - who here loves California’s wine country, spa treatments, and long weekend getaways? Really? Me too! Imagine that. I’m excited because one of my favorite resources for luxury family vacations, Ciao Bambino, is running a giveaway that seems tailor-made for me: A 3-night stay for a family of 4 in Napa Valley’s Solage Calistoga, plus a (get this) MUDSLIDE spa treatment for two. No wonder I’m excited.

Win a Spa Getaway (ciaobambino.com)

Honestly, part of me considered keeping quiet about this - giving myself a better chance to win - but then, that wouldn’t be fair. Solage Calistoga, after all, is a beautiful resort that is really child-friendly, somewhat of a rarity in upscale Napa Valley. Wine tastings and romantic getaways are more typical of Napa Valley vacations.

Just fill in this form to enter, and good luck. I entered too. The contest run ends July 17, 2009.

Twilight Tour Video - Family Vacation in Olympic National Park

Parents and children flock happily to the US National Parks every summer for family vacations. But what about that cranky, out-of-sorts teenager? Adolescents can be real downers during a family vacation, what with texting, eye rolls, and “I just wanna be with my friends.” That’s why families with teens should strongly consider Olympic National Park. This is where the Twilight book and movie series takes place, after all - Forks is right in the National Park. In fact, several Twilight locations are specifically designated as such now, such as Edward Cullen’s and Bella Snow’s houses.

Dazzled by Twilight is a store and tour bus operated by Annette Root, and she’s as passionate a Twilight fan as they come (Team Edward, I believe, but I’m not sure). She hired a fantastic Twilight guide, Travis, to show my group around. Yes, the group was all women - coincidence? I think not. Twilight fans skew strongly female. Check out the video below: Since the Dazzled by Twilight Tour is sure to be every teenager’s highlight of an Olympic National Park family vacation, I don’t give too much away.

Twilight may be why your surly teenager suddenly wants to visit Edward Cullen from Twilight in Forks, WAOlympic National Park, but Forks is not only the setting for the incredibly popular vampire romance series. A true story, passed down orally throughout the years, was retold by my group’s travel guide in the Forks Timber Museum - yes, a dose of reality for the family may just cure that sense of being overpowered by vampire lore. For someone like me, that’s just what the doctor ordered.

Mama on the Move: Perfect Day in Beaver Creek, Colorado

Regular readers know that two essential components of my ideal getaway are outdoor activity and a pampering spa treatment. (After all, what better way to treat yourself after hiking, biking, swimming or skiing than with a steam and a rubdown?) Yesterday, with a group of fellow travel writers visiting Beaver Creek, Colorado (just 90 minutes from my mountain home), I enjoyed the perfect blend of exercise and R&R.

bvhikeWhile I regularly explore Colorado hiking trails on my own, I absolutely see the value in joining a group tour or hiring a experienced guide to lead the way on unfamiliar paths, especially if you’re visiting from out of state. We met up with Nick  Fickling, a legendary hiking guide and ski instructor in these parts, who shared his wealth of knowledge about the area’s flora and fauna for our 3-hour hike on lower Beaver Creek Mountain. Our moderately paced trek took us through aspen groves, across ski runs and along maintenance roads on the mountain that looms above Beaver Creek Village.

Nick works out of the Beaver Creek Hiking Center, which offers not only our scheduled morning hike, but also day-long, more remote Colorado Adventure Hikes, as well as trips to the top of Colorado’s famous “fourteeners” (14,000-foot peaks), historic excursions that include a hike, picnic and driving tour, as well as nordic/fitness walking trips that promise to get your blood pumping.

bvhike2The Hiking Center provides the use of Saloman day packs and hiking boots, Leki hiking poles, rain gear, bottled water, Gatorade and granola bars; prices vary depending on the length of the adventure — our privately guided morning hike was $60 a person. This fee may sound steep, but, again, for out-of-state visitors who do not know the area or who may not be avid hikers, I think it’s a smart way to spend some vacation cash:  no need to pack gear (making your luggage lighter and potentially avoiding those pesky extra baggage fees), plus the guides we met are extremely personable and so knowledgeable about the entire Beaver Creek area, its history and its ecology.

Steam RoomFlash foward to our afternoon activity: treatments at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek’s Allegria Spa.  This 30,000-square-foot full-service spa, salon and fitness center was totally remodeled (to the tune of $12 million) in 2006. It absolutely ranks among Colorado’s best spas. Aqua Sanitas, a self-guided water ritual, included in the price for any body treatment. Along the “healing waters” journey, you’ll soothe sore muscles in two different hot tubs, step under a refreshing rainshower, sweat in spruce-scented steam room (my favorite step by far, with its iridescent tiles and twinkling overhead lights), and relax on heated lounges.

My spa service — a Balancing Hot Oil Wrap — combined a full body massage with warm oil and hot stones, and a wrap (to seal in the oil for optimum moisturization) with a neck and scalp massage. At $230 a pop, this is no everyday treatment, but I cannot recommend it enough for an extra-special treat. (If you like a firm touch, ask for Eli.) My fellow travel writers also spoke highly of their services, which included a Warm Milk & Honey Sugar Scrub (yep, real Colorado honey drizzled on your body) and the Ginger Peach Cure.

Still more highlights of our two-night stay in Beaver Creek:

Michelle Deford, instructorKinesis fitness class at The Club at Allegria Spa. Kinesis is a full-body workout on a wall cable-and-pulley system that allows users more range of motion than typical dumbbells or strength-training equipment. It’s a wonderfully fast-paced, set-to-music class that really does hit all muscle groups. (I wish this was offered in my neck of the woods; many gyms have the piece of $40,000 equipment, but mine does not!)

Al fresco lunch at the Beaver Creek Chophouse. You can’t miss the bright red umbrellas on the patio at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain. The fish tacos and Tuscan-style grilled chicken sandwich both got a big thumb’s up.

Dinner at Splendido, one of Beaver Creek’s highest-end eateries with a sophisticated atmosphere and a menu to match (think $35 entrees, such as Pan Roasted Rabbit, Prosciutto Wrapped Alaskan Halibut and Roasted Elk Loin). For my personal pocketbook, Splendido is absolutely a special-occasion restaurant. If you’re there when the lobster special is offered — stuffed with Yukon gold mashed potatoes, with the claws removed and roasted in butter — order it.

Overnight at The Osprey, a Rock Resort. This intimate, boutique property has 41 rooms, and was totally remodeled in 2008. It’s a stone’s throw from the plaza in Beaver Creek Village, and winter guests will appreciate its proximity to the chair-lift — The Osprey is actually the closest ski-in/ski-out hotel to a property in all of North America. Learn more about this oustanding Beaver Creek hotel  in this online piece about the Osprey I wrote this winter.

Stellar Staff at Family-Friendly Elk Mountain Ranch in Buena Vista, Colorado

dude1The perks of my job as a travel writer are many. Namely, I get to experience places that I might not normally visit on my own. Take, for example, my family’s recent stay at the incredibly family-friendly dude ranch, Elk Mountain Ranch, in the San Isabel National Forest in south-central Colorado. I’m not a horse person, and neither are my kids, so we wouldn’t naturally choose a dude ranch for our vacation (though we love the all-inclusive concept at Mexican resorts). But when the opportunity to visit one for a story assignment came up, I sure wasn’t going to turn it down!

We had an absolute ball — from learning how to ride (all of us but my husband, who grew up around horses) to enjoying nature in  pristine spot in Colorado to indulging in some of the best family-style, home-cooked meals I’ve had in a long time.

But what really stood out at Elk Mountain Ranch is the genuine hospitality of its owners, Tom & Sue Murphy, and the wonderfully accommodating and friendly staff. (Here’s another perk of travel writing — meeting all sorts of fabulous people I wouldn’t otherwise meet!)

dude2Owners Tom and Sue go out of their way to welcome guests to the ranch; it’s their home, too: their house is a stone’s throw from the comfortable main lodge. Both of them sit with guests at dinner every night, never tiring of answering questions about the ranch and their history there (they met as employees back in the mid-1980s!). Both of them work the ranch every day: Tom delivers a thorough “horse orientation” talk before the week’s first trail ride, detailing the finer points how to treat a new-to-you horse. He’s also out there teaching young children in the arena,  helping to send older kids and adults off on their trail rides, cooking brunch over an open campfire, and playing “fat bat baseball” at more than 10,000 feet!

Hands-on Sue drives the van to remote lunch locations, so that children can meet their parents in the middle of a trail ride. She oversees the goings-on in the kitchen, as well as the children’s program. She took the time to help my daughter brush her favorite horse and get milk bottles so she could feed the baby goats. While we were there, Sue not only regularly played Uno with the kids in the main lodge before dinner was served, but she accompanied a children’s  “field trip” to the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Pool. Not one to sit on the sidelines, she was in the pool playing Marco Polo with the kids and giving them rides on the floaty noodles. She offered to keep an extra eyeball on my two children while I enjoyed a quiet, kid-free soak in the “extra hot” pool. If that’s not accommodating, I don’t know what is!

dude33And the staff… the wranglers who led our trail rides (and drove the hayride tractor, and taught roping to the kids, and took a group fishing, and led a marksmanship tournament) were out-of-this-world polite, friendly and downright darling. (I love being called “ma’am.”) I cannot express my appreciation enough to Mike and Caleb who patiently led my trail rides. (How many times did Mike have to remind me how to guide Flint back on the trail?)

The young ladies who run the kitchen, wait tables and work the children’s program are also genuinely friendly and eager to get to know the guests. Always smiling and courteous, they go out of your way to make sure your every need is met (I think they are the speediest servers in the West). I sound positively ancient when I write this, but their parents did an outstanding job raising them!

Clearly, the owners and staff at Elk Mountain Ranch made my family’s stay incredibly pleasurable. But there are so many more reasons to consider a vacation here, from its wonderfully remote location in the mountains, to the comfortable lodging, to, once again, the amazing food. But the number-one reason I’d book a stay at the family-friendly Elk Mountain Ranch is its stellar customer service.

Travel Writer Gone Bad: Setting off a Hotel Fire Alarm

Within an hour of arriving at the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa in Avon, Colorado, my husband (dear, sweet husband) managed to set off our condo’s fire alarm. Yep, in an effort to make this weekend as economical as possible, we packed a cooler full of dinner ingredients. In frying the sides of a burrito in a skillet (is this a chimichanga?), smoke ensued. The super-loud fire alarm kept buzzing for at least 25 minutes! We headed to the (lovely) outdoor pool to escape the ear-splitting noise. But not before we ate the yummy burritos!

Thanks to the Westin for hosting our stay — our two-bedroom suite with full kitchen, balcony facing Beaver Creek Mountain, classy modern decor and big ol’ master bathroom is fabulous. I’m guessing after tonight we won’t be invited back. So we’ll certainly enjoy the property while we can!

The video here is “catching” for me; try watching it directly on YouTube for a cleaner version.

Top Attractions in Las Vegas for School-Age Kids

On my most recent trip to Las Vegas, I found myself saying to my husband more than once, “Oh, the kids would have liked this!” That’s because we happened to take in a handful of family-friendly attractions while we were there — without our children!  I’m not a big proponent of vacationing with kids in Las Vegas; do you really want to explain the why people are handing out “XXX Girls!” cards on the street? But if you’re road-tripping through Sin City with kids in mysteretow, or if you’re attending a Vegas convention and want to bring the whole family along, here are some of the top activities and attractions in Las Vegas for school-age children:

Cirque du Soleil: If you have a child age eight and up who is involved in theatre, dance or gymnastics, I’d bite the bullet and spend the big bucks ($100 or more) to take him or her to a Cirque du Soleil performance. While I sat mesmerized during The Beatles LOVE (at the Mirage), I couldn’t help but think of my nine-year-old daughter, who would have absolutely appreciated all of the special effects, the music and especially the excellent hip-hop dancing and incredible acrobatics. Just make sure you book tickets for the earlier evening shows (around 7 or 7:30 p.m.) ; and avoid the R-rated, sexy Zumanity. (Mystere and O are other shows I can personally recommend. The music and sound effects can be loud; best to leave kids with sensitive ears at home.)

sharkreefShark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay: Compare the Shark Reef exhibit to, say, the New England Aquarium, and you’ll be disappointed. But, consider that this attraction is just one section of the (albeit massive) Mandalay Bay resort property, and it’s rather impressive. About 2,000 creatures in 1.6 million gallons of seawater make their home here, including piranahs, jellyfish, rays, sea turtles, Komodo Dragons, and, naturally, sharks. I like the audio tour (see photo) that’s included with admission; at each exhibit, touch a button to learn more about the animal — no reading required. Another plus: the aquarium emphasizes conservation of earth’s natural resources; signs (reading required) teach about environmental education. Admission is $16.95 for adults; ages 5 to 12, $10.95.

skeletalmusclesBODIES…The Exhibition at the Luxor: This human anatomy exhibit is fascinating. See real firsthand the inner workings of human bodies that have been polymer preserved — with exhibits detailing the respiratory, circulatory and muscular systems. Cool stuff! I saw several tween-age children here, and none were pointing and giggling at the, er, private parts on display. An option audio tour offers fascinating educational information in vocabulary that’s toned down and appropriate for kids (hubby and I actually liked listening to the kids’ less-technical version better). Choose whether or not you want to walk through the preserved fetuses; this section is totally optional (but, to me, one of the most interesting exhibits). Also see a set of smokers’ lungs; if that won’t encourage you to quit, I don’t know what will. Adult admission is $31; children ages 4 to 12 is $23. (Though, I likely wouldn’t recommend to kids under age seven.)

Titanic, The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor: My seven-year-old son became fascinated by the ill-fated ship after reading Tonight on the Titanic from the Magic Tree House series of books. He was thoroughly bummed he missed out on this exhibit of actual items retrieved from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Staterooms and hallways are re-created at this Luxor attraction, and we entered a room kept at frigid temperatures so that we could touch a giant “iceberg.” We read of actual passengers’ stories on the Titanic — sad tales of families who were planning on making new lives in America, but never made it,  and we looked at hundreds of artifacts, such as dishware, passengers’ clothing and luggage, and one 15-ton piece of the ship’s starboard hull. I think this is an excellent way for kids to learn about a tragic event in world history — seeing these artifacts up close is much more interactive than reading of the disaster in history books. Admission is $27 for adults; $20 for children.

What’s Open on Christmas Day in NYC?

Your Questions Answered: A little while ago, one of our readers wrote to ask about Christmas in New York City. Specifically, she wanted to know what would be open on Christmas Day in NYC: It would be her last day in the city, as she has a nighttime flight home and some time to spend strolling around by herself. Well, the Mudslide family spent a lot of Christmases in New York City, so I’m happy to help her figure out how to fill the last day of her vacation with NYC activities!

Radio City Christmas Spectacular in NYC (radiocitychristmas.com)

  • Sure, not EVERYTHING’S open in NYC on Christmas Day, but you’d be surprised at what IS. Since you’re not leaving until nighttime, you have all day to wander the chilly streets and take in the sights. Radio City Christmas Spectacular has shows at 1PM, 4PM and 7PM - plan ahead, buy a ticket, and watch one of the most famous Christmas time shows in the world. Who hasn’t heard of the Rockettes?
  • If you’ve already seen the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show, or if you’re just not that interested in it, there are several Broadway theaters that aren’t dark (i.e. closed) on Christmas Day. This changes year to year, of course, so check playbill.com to see what your options are.
  • Why not see NYC on Christmas Day from up high? The Empire States Building is open until early Empire State Bldg. is open on Christmas Day (wikipedia.com)afternoon (last year it opened from 10AM-2PM) and Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center is open all day.
  • Also at Rockefeller Center, the ice skating rink is open all day, straight through to midnight on Christmas Day. Other ice skating rinks that are open on Christmas Day include the Wollman Rink in Central Park and the Pond - well, it’s presumably a frozen pond by late December - in Bryant Park. Both remain open through the late evening.
  • Now, tons of restaurants stay open during Christmas Day in NYC. If you want to splurge, consider making a reservation at the Rainbow Room. Yes, this is in Rockefeller Center, like the Rink and the Top of the Rock - this restaurant is pretty fancy, though, and men need to wear jackets. If you’re wearing what you want to fly home in (meaning comfortable clothes), then The Rainbow Room Grand Holiday Buffet may not be the smart choice for you. Chinatown restaurants are by and large open. A great resource for dining is Open Table. It has updated lists of the restaurants in NYC that are open on Christmas Day.
  • And, you know, it IS Christmas Day. If you so choose, there are religious services (and special concerts) in churches all over New York City. St. Patrick’s Cathedral Christmas Day Mass is celebrated nearly every hour on the hour until 1PM. and St. John the Divine hosts annual Christmas Day concerts - usually one mid-afternoon and one at night. The Trinity Wall Street has a late morning Holy Eucharist on Christmas Day too, although St. Paul’s Chapel itself is closed on Christmas Day.

He Knows What To Do in NYC on Christmas Day! (TapRootDancer via flickr.com)B. wrote back and said, in part, “…Going to NYC at Christmas time  has been a dream for years and I’m going alone as no one else thinks it’s such a wonderful idea!! (I think it’s just because it’s so cold). But I love Xmas lights and all the excitement. I’m all ready to go shopping and see the sights…Thanks again for all your information.” You’re welcome, B. The Traveling Mamas hope you have a wonderful Christmas in New York.

A Multimedia, Acrobatic Extravaganza: The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil

loveMy husband and I are huge fans of the Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas. Nearly 10 years ago on a trip to Sin City, we bought tickets for Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere (at Treasure Island), not really sure what we were dropping a couple hundred bucks on. We were blown away by the evocative music, the incredible acrobatics and the innovative storytelling. So much so, the next day we scooped up  tickets for another Cirque du Soleil show - “O” (at the Bellagio). It too, blew us out of the water (pun intended; the water-themed show takes place in an on-stage pool).

A subsequent weekend in Vegas brought Zumanity (at New York-New York), an “R-rated” show for grown-up eyes only. Somehow, in buying last-minute tickets, we ended up in the front row (red velvet love seats!) for this erotic-themed performance, and I wound up on stage! I forget (or I’ve blocked out) the exact reasoning for my being pulled up there, but I do remember wearing some sort of Puritan-style, colonial bonnet and an old-fashioned chastity belt. Needless to say, I got a free drink for being a good sport!

Last month, hubby and I caught our fourth Cirque du Soleil show: The Beatles’ LOVE at the Mirage. Like other Cirque shows, this one combined phenomenal acrobatics, upbeat dance, and entertaining characters –  complemented by  lights, confetti and many, many other special effects. More than two dozen Beatles’ songs accompany all of the aerial performances and athleticism to create an incredibly fast-paced show.

cirqueYou certainly don’t have to be a Beatles fan to appreciate LOVE, though if you were around during Beatlemania or know all the words to favorite songs, I think it’s an absolute must-see. During some of the hip-hop dancing scenes, I thought about my nine-year-old daughter who would have loved to have seen the show (it’s definitely appropriate for school-age kids; no R-rated scenes here). Really, the show is for all ages — for anyone who appreciates quality, multi-media entertainment.

My favorite scene was probably during the song, “Help!” where four rollerbladers took to 11-foot-high ramps in an amazing sequence of turns, jumps and twists. I also liked “Revolution/Back in the USSR,” where hippy-type characters evaded the cops by jumping and flipping to crazy heights on trampolines. During “Within You/Without You,” the entire theatre is enveloped in a humongous, billowing bed sheet. In the last scene, giant photos of each of the Beatles appear, and the audience can’t help but sing along to “All You Need is Love.”

Learn more about The Beatles LOVE at the official Cirque du Soleil website.

Budget Summer Vacation in Sedona, AZ

Budget Summer Vacation in Sedona AZSedona is one of my favorite US vacation destinations, no doubt. Whether it’s a family trip or a romantic getaway, the glorious scenery and outdoor adventure opportunities make it one of my top recommendations for travel. So when the owner of the Innovative Analysis Group asked that I talk with him for his well-regarded aviation and travel industry’s podcast, I immediately requested that the podcast’s travel destination focus on Sedona, Arizona. Addison Schondland agreed, suggesting that the theme be summer budget travel to Sedona. After all, it’s HOT in Sedona in the summer; all the more important to get great value from a summer trip there. Smart man; these days, everyone’s looking for ways to get the most out of their vacation budget.

Talking with Addison was a lot of fun; the podcast (click here) regarding Sedona summer vacation activities came out well as a result. It may sound counterintuitive to plan a summer trip to Arizona, but my kids loved it last August, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Q&A with Nia Vardalos, My Life in Ruins Movie Star

Nia Vardalos, My Life in Ruins (foxsearchlight.com)Show of hands: Who here has seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Whoa! Maybe I should ask, who here has seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding over 5 times? …That’s still a lot of hands. Well, the Traveling Mamas are extremely proud to have Nia Vardalos with us for this Mama Interview. Nia Vardalos is, of course, the creator/writer/star of Greek Wedding, and June 5, 2009, sees her starring in another fun comedy, My Life in Ruins. This movie takes place in Greece (get it? Ruins?). I loved the gorgeous background scenery for Mamma Mia; My Life in Ruins promises to be a movie with settings that makes the travel lover in all of us want to pack our bags, too.

Nia Vardalos is also a strong supporter of the Alliance for Children’s Rights - the Traveling Mamas’ featured nonprofit this month. What with starring in movies, raising her daughter, and supporting this worthy organization, she is one busy mama. She still finds time to be HILARIOUS though.

Your movie, My Life in Ruins, takes place in Greece. Where were some of the locations? Had you been to those specific places before?

All the locations are within the Mystical Triangle: Acropolis, Olympia, and Delphi which were built 121 kilometers Movie in Greece (foxsearchlight.com)from each other…2500 years ago! I had visited all these sites (bored) as a kid. Now I see the healing powers of traveling the triangle. You’ll come out refreshed. Your skin will be clear. And you will fall in love!
How did you come to be such a strong supporter of the Alliance for Children’s Rights?

I didn’t know, before my husband and I adopted our daughter, that we didn’t have orphanages in the U.S. But we do have 500,000 kids in foster care. Of these kids, 129,000 are legally free for adoption and waiting for a family. We had waited on many waiting lists for an infant and when these routes kept falling through, turned to FosAdopt. Nine months later our daughter, at the time 3 years old, walked into our house, and turned it into a home. Now I feel compelled to tell anyone and everyone: American FosAdopt does not discriminate against age, single parents, sexual orientation, income level.

Where is your favorite travel destination?

Clearly I love Greece, and not just because the men look like my costar Alexi G, and the landscape looks like Nia Vardalos, Alexis Georgoulis; My Life in Ruins (foxsearchlight.com)the posters, but because there is a laid-back wisdom and joy in that country. Also, I loved being in Japan because I couldn’t speak the language or even read the street signs. It was a joy to just get lost and figure out what to eat every day (oh boy, I can only imagine what I thought was a gum ball, may have been an eye. Anyway, I loved it there!)

Any mama can be a Traveling Mama. Have you taken any trips with your daughter yet?

Yes, and I always thought I would be an organized drill sergeant. I am surprised how laid back I’ve become. So, we forgot the crayons, big deal…I hand her a lipstick and let her draw on my pants.

Lipstick on pants? Been there. Believe me, the Traveling Mamas are going to be first in line to see My Life in Ruins. And who knows - a group trip to Greece may be next! …we can dream, anyway. Thank you, Nia!
