Luxury Camping Without the High End Pricesby Michele Cheplic13 Jun 2008 10:52 PMLike mother like daughter I guess. I blame my lack of enthusiasm for camping on my mother who, like many others out there, does all her "camping" at a Hilton. Which is not to say that I have never pitched a tent and lived off the land during the summer months. Ski Resorts with Bonus Amenitiesby Michele Cheplic12 Jan 2008 10:35 PMIf you have a large family then you know how hard it is to find a vacation spot that caters to everyone's likes.

Cool Ice Skating Spotsby Michele Cheplic15 Nov 2007 10:48 PMTomorrow morning my 3-year-old daughter will strap on ice skates for the first time.

Let's Go Snorkelingby Michele Cheplic01 Apr 2007 05:17 PMTypically, one of the first things my friends want to do when they visit me in Hawaii is snorkel. Who can blame them? First of all, you don't have to be an Olympic athlete to stick a tube in your mouth, slap on some fins and a mask, and float around in the ocean. West Coast Waterfallsby Michele Cheplic21 Feb 2007 08:55 AMI'm a sucker for waterfalls. Perhaps, it's because I grew up in Hawaii and lived within walking distance of some of the most popular falls in the world.
