Every couple can benefit from setting special times aside. With
two income families and/or children at home, the ability to get
away for a sensual holiday, whether it be for a night, a weekend,
or longer, can greatly enhance a couple's sensual relationship.
This becomes even more
important as time goes by and people have a tendency to become
lazy about the amount and quality of time that they spend together.
As a result, their intimate life can become less than they would
desire or may even disappear entirely. The decision to create
special times together can provide a way to return to feelings
of intimacy or perhaps discover new things about each other. We
can help you plan a trip to support shared dreams in coming true.
Escape together on
a cruise to a tropical island. Wine, dine, and romance in Europe,
the USA or the Islands. We will help you find the Romantic Hideaways.
We can offer a world full of travel ideas for honeymoons, anniversaries,
special occasions, and all kinds of fun travel. Some of the properties
that we recommend offer deluxe accommodations. Others are more
modest but the intention of the hosts to provide a romantic environment
plus attention to details make them "not to be missed." It is
our promise that we will only recommend destinations that we know,
from our personal experience, will help you create the romantic
vacation of your dreams.
The
Best Places to Kiss in the Northwest: A Romantic Travel Guide
(8th Ed) by
Kate Chynoweth (Editor), Laura Kraemer From Vancouver Island
to Seattle, the San Juan Islands to the Oregon Coast, and
everywhere in between, this candid guide seeks out the best
places for couples to pledge new vows or renew old ones.
From ANOTHER SIDE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL comes ZUMANITY, the
provocative and challenging new production at New York-New
York Hotel & Casino.
ZUMANITY bears all the characteristics of a classic Cirque
du Soleil® production —movement, music, color,
acrobatics, dance — but is Cirque’s first production
to deal with human sexuality. ZUMANITY’s exploration
of love, sensuality and eroticism, in all its forms and
from all perspectives, is ultimately a tale of humanity,
emotion, the nature of beauty and the acceptance of differences.
More theatrical than circus spectacle, the creators of
ZUMANITY have moved away from the world of the circus and
put a new twist on the risqué — sometimes raucous
—intimacy of the European cabaret tradition.
ZUMANITY emphasizes a multicultural approach to the disciplines
of dance, movement, acrobatic techniques, costumes and music.
In ZUMANITY, contortion, driving salsa music, fire-eating,
uninhibited African dance, tango, waltz and passionate flamenco
all speak the same language of excitement and desire.
ZUMANITY is a resident show at New York-New York Hotel
& Casino in Las Vegas, NV. It was created for people
18 years of age and older.

ago, making Kauai the oldest island in the chain. This northern most

In 1810 the King of Kauai ceded his islands to the kingdom.
On Kauai Hawaii Helicopters operate from both Lihue and Princeville Airports.

the Na Pali Coast. See verdant sea cliffs, waterfalls and beaches virtually
untouched by man. Follow the ancient Hawaiian trails to the mystical valley
of Kalalau.. Soar into Waialeale Crater, and behold her 2,000 foot waterfalls

Hana
Hale Malamalama is a compound of six overnight rental accommodations
clustered in a village-like setting on a lush corner of Hana
Bay. Each accommodation has been carefully positioned with
respect to the natural terrain of the grounds, to provide optional
exposure to the tranquil beauty of the surrounding land, sea
and sky. Hana Hale Malamalama, described by Condé Naste Traveler
as "a secluded retreat in East Maui," is a unique tropical hideaway
for those seeking the experience and feel of "old Hawaii."
"Somewhere

place with soul, with heart, with integrity and magik,
as well as beauty..." --Tom Robbins, author and adventurer
"Little" Makena (Pu'u Ola'i) Beach
This
is an unofficial "clothing optional" beach. There's an ordinance
concerning 'indecent behavior' in Hawaii, the state "open lewdness" statute.
This statute has been used infrequently during the last decade
as a means of discouraging nude sunbathing. However, do not be
surprised by the majority of people sunbathing in the nude. If
you don't like to see that kind of thing, don't visit this beach.
Little Beach is located
to the north west of Makena Beach and is unapproachable by
car. Park at the Makena Beach (also known as Big Beach) paved
parking lot and walk to the beach (Makena Beach). When you
reach the ocean turn to the west and follow the beach westward.
At the end of the beach there is a path up the lava rocks that
takes you over a bluff and on to Little Beach. Be careful walking
as the level of beach sand rises and falls a bit during the
year. In the last several years the path has gotten much easier
to use.

The
Eagles Nest at the Blackthorne Inn Inverness
One
of the most fabulous nights of my life was spent at the
Blackthorne Inn at Inverness in West Marin County, California.
The Blackthorne Inn provides intimate overnight accommodations
in a beautiful rustic setting just one hour north of San
Francisco on the magnificent Point Reyes Peninsula. Nestled
in a wooded canyon near the charming town of Inverness,
this unique structure resembles a giant treehouse. Crafted
from redwood, cedar and a 180-foot Douglas fir cut and milled
on the site, the Inn rises through fragrant bay trees to
sunny decks on four levels.
While the Blackthorne
Inn has five unique guest rooms, it is the Eagles Nest,
an octagonally shaped glass enclosed room perched high above
the tree tops that I recommend. This tower room with full
size bed affords its guests a spectacular view of sky and
trees. For those who enjoy being greeted by the dawn, or
the moon and the stars, the Eagle's Nest is the place to
be. After 10:00 p.m., the hot tub is private for Eagle's
Nest guests. A private bath is located in a separate building
across the skybridge.
Picture

This
is the world of the San Marcus Inn, not just a clothing
optional resort, and not just an alternative lifestyle club,

one.
