Way down in San Diego, just north of the Mexico border in America’s favorite vacation spot, sits a beachfront hotel named Catamaran Resort & Spa. While guests are treated well, the birds think Catamaran is really swell! They have their own executive suite, a ground floor home where they get to sleep, are fed healthy meals and are taken outside each day for sunshine and luxury, resort surroundings on the Catamaran hotel property. Exotic birds of many colors perch in their own play gyms amongst the trees, overlooking Mission Bay.

I’m not a neat-freak by any means. I like a clean towel when I shower daily and figure washing the sheets weekly should do just fine. But when I go into a hotel room, I expect the sheets to be laundered and the beds made fresh for me and me alone. Several times that hasn’t been the case, however. On a recent trip, in fact, the bed was way too soft so I did what I normally do, which is look for the mattress in the extra sofa first. You can imagine my surprise when I opened the sofa cushion to pull out the mattress and stared down on two naked ladies on the cover of a magazine, staring back at me with smiles. Now I could tell this was going to be a rough night since there was no way I would explore the surprise…used and wrinkled sheets pushing out from the mattress that was unprofessionally crammed into the rollaway sofa sleeper. Oh great! It’s after midnight, I’m in my PJ’s, and I only have five hours till it’s time to get up. What should I do?
What a fantastic trip I remember, as I sit in the Las Vegas airport on a Friday afternoon listening to a slot machine sing its tune over and over and over again! Rounding out a week of Southern hospital, I remember the many fantastic accommodations in Arkansas as I gaze out to the complex of Las Vegas hotels ranging from the popular Venetian to Paris. I wouldn’t mind lingering on in some of the nation’s finest hotels, enjoying the sizzle that only this desert city can provide in the dry, hot (99 degree) afternoon glow. The folks are friendly in Sin City, but there’s nothing quite like Southern hospitality. If you get a chance to go to Arkansas, you’ll discover major corporations, beautiful scenery, the Clinton Presidential Library and most of all, simply nice people who will make you feel at home.
Temecula Creek Inn, a favorite of the wine tasting crowd, offers a country club setting with sweeping golf course fairways visible from most rooms and suites, set to the backdrop of the dramatic San Jacinto mountain range. As the sun goes down, the mountains acquire a warm, reddish glow that’s simply magical. It feels upscale & exclusive, yet maintains casual elegance that its surroundings command, smack dab in the heart of Temecula wine country trail.
With a multi-million dollar renovation under its belt (leather easy chairs, wet bars with granite countertops, 42” plasma TVs and iPod-ready stereos) Temecula Creek Inn has stepped up its amenities and decor a notch. Nearby casino resorts offer a darkened, indoor gaming experience while Temecula Creek Inn celebrates nature with room balconies overlooking pristine settings. To further accent the views and retreat surroundings, Native American art, pottery, antique tribal weavings and limited edition sculptures decorate the resort’s dining areas and lobbbies.
Popular for its lush landscape that’s perfect for weddings, plus incredilble weather (semi-desert) that puts more sunshine in your court for special events planning, romantic travelers and girl or boyfriend getaways are becoming the craze at the Temecula Creek Inn, as well.
