Water's Edge Inn, Folly Beach SC -- Vacation Delight
There is a timer-operated fire flickering in the hearth, and the excellent wi-fi has been working brilliantly for 24 hours.
This morning, I padded upstairs to the small reception lounge, where I was able to get many cups of fabu locally roasted coffee; scones, muffins, bagels & pastries from Saffron Bakery in downtown Charleston, fresh fruit salad, a bunch of other stuff, and a little hot plate full of crispy, delicious bacon. All complimentary. Hellllloooooo.
And at happy hour, 4-7pm? Light beers, red + white wine, a liquored up, low-calorie cranberryish lemonade called Welcome Punch (literally they fixed me a glass upon check-in), with lots of little cheeses, nuts, salames, etc. and guests hanging out either at the outside patio or up in the lounge.
Oh, and the outside patio? They have some satellite radio station going on low volume that is, I swear to god, the "Margaritaville Station" -- same is piping out by the 24-hour outdoor hot tub. Which in some moods would just kill my soul, but this place somehow makes it work really nicely.
I'm a big ole hotel snobberina and this place totally ranks up there. I appreciate little details like the "dream machine" clock radio with an iPod hookup next to my bed, which has been playing ocean sounds ever since I got here.
I just don't really see a reason to turn it off.
UPDATE: I like my room so much that when it came time to order small plate #2 at Blu at the Tides Hotel -- where chef Jon Cropf uses (and lists on his menu) the stuff that comes from local or sustainable farms, I got my bison cannelloni to go.
So that I could get back to my awesome winter work retreat zone back at the Water's Edge. Man, it's great here.
We went to Spain for a three-week vacation and had been traveling around it for a week already when we got to Valencia www.privatetoursinistanbul.com We stayed in Valencia for two days. One of the days was to do the Valencia Tour. It was the best thing we did at that point of the trip because it was a completely different experience. We had visited museums, palaces, cathedrals, etc in other cities but in Valencia tour we went to the country side and experienced less touristic places and other typical spanish activities. We had an amazing day with the tour guide, who provided us with a day of lots of fun and unforgettable memories. We were extremely happy to have chosen this tour to have a break in our trip around Spain and we highly recommend it to anyone who goes to Spain.
