Newlyweds have been choosing Waikiki as as a honeymoon destination for decades. Games shows often give away trips to this paradise. But it is really the most romantic and exotic of Hawaiian beaches?   Not really. Waikiki is beautiful but it's a resort/beach area that's part of a big city -- Honolulu.Lined with high rise resorts, Waikiki Beach is relatively narrow and crowded. Certainly the resorts are luxe and the shopping definitely upscale. If you want sun, sand and the cosmopolitan atmosphere you can only find in a big city, then Waikiki is for you. |

Got Miles? This is the year to use them. I'm returning from a terrific vacation in Hawaii -- with airfare covered by my Midwest Miles! Think you can't afford a trip this year? Think again and check your mileage online at midwestmiles.com. I was able to book my entire trip through Midwest Airlines using Midwest Miles. We flew Midwest to San Francisco, then transferred to a Northwest/Delta flight -- still covered by my Midwest award miles. Our friends were so impressed with how easy it was to book, that they also made reservations for Hawaii using their Midwest Miles. Don't Have Quite Enough Miles?Not a problem, especially through the end of May. Midwest has a deal you'll want to look at if you need some additional miles to complete your award trip. They've got a 25% bonus offer when you buy miles for yourself or someone else. Check it out! Next, I'll give you the details of my gloriously sunny and warm Hawaii vacation. |

Headin' to Vegas for two long, fun days! Saving Money: Using my Hilton HHonors Points for a great room at the Las Vegas Hilton. Eating on the cheap -- probably at least a couple of the $1 footlongs at Slots-O-Fun! Got a great airfare deal on Midwest Airlines .
Spending Money: Great seats at the Elton John concert at Caesar's Palace. If it's on your "bucket list," do it! Oh yes, a bit of gambling will take a few bucks, but just might give back a few, too. Who knows!! You'll have my report by the weekend! |

On a recent trip to Dallas, I visited the cute little town of Plano. Discovered some unique home decor items that I wanted to share with you. The shop is called Tuscan Lights at 1018 E. 15th Street. The shop windows were filled with beautiful candelaria made of some kind of unique stone. The display drew me into the shop. Discovered that their wine bottle racks and candle luminarias are made of honeycomb calcite, native to Utah. Gives a warm, rich glow when lit from within with a candle or lightbulb. I thought they'd add a dramatic, if not romantic, touch to a home. The wine racks emit a delightfully unique glow. Check out Tuscan Lights in Plano, (My photo skills just couldn't capture the true beauty of this stone! Sorry.) See more on their Web site -- http://tuscanlights.com
