Do you notice the décor when you check into a hotel or resort?
It’s not often that Im “wowed” by the décor of hotels but as soon as we walked into the lobby of Club Med Quebec Charlevoix we were in awe. We’d see one thing and then seconds later you’d see something else. There we so many elements to take in. It took a few days to grasp everything and then hear the story of why the designers included it. We were told it took 9 years to finish the interior design of the resort because they wanted to properly respect and present Quebec culture. The décor is inspired by Quebec’s winter. The atmosphere is warm, soothing, colorful, immersive and tells the story of Quebec culture.
A famous designer once said “I always put in one unique item. It makes people talk.” Well these designers definitely succeeded in making people talk…stare…admire…take photos, etc.
Have you ever been “wowed” by a hotel? If so which one.
Don’t forget to check out everything Club Med Quebec Charlevoix has to offer including unlimited food, drinks, activities including skiing. @kerry73collins Michael Foley Club Med

Ever go on vacation and have a tour guide who exceeded all expectations? They made your trip so much better. Well we were so incredibly fortunate to have Ranger James as our ranger at Zulu Nyala. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement.
James would get out of the safari vehicle to check foot prints to see what animal it was. And he’d jump out to inspect poop to see how warm it was and go all over to find the animals we were looking for. He’s so incredibly dedicated and educated and he created a experience for us that we’ll never forget.
Thank you ranger James!!! We ❤️you!!
Oh yeah i forgot to mention his superior reverse driving skills! A master at driving in reverse!!
Another continent to check off the list - that makes #6 continent (only Antarctica left).

Happy National Girlfriends Day! Today girlfriends are encouraged to get together and celebrate their special bond of friendship. Girlfriends fall into many categories. While many grew up together, others meet through work or college. Still, others share a bond much deeper; sisters and mothers meet the definition of girlfriends. We often fail to set aside time to spend with each other. The day promotes the laughter and joys girlfriends bring. Rarely do girlfriends let another go it alone. Not only do they enjoy spending time together, they support each other, too. While laughing and sharing secrets, girlfriends offer advice, and celebrate successes. When it’s time for a glass of wine, a chat over a cup of coffee or to go for a long walk, girlfriends are there. I have a wonderful group of girlfriends who love to travel as much as I do. These girls are always up for an adventure and time away. It doesn’t matter if its dinner, a local getaway or heading to Europe for a long weekend! Some of my favorite girls trips are Nashville, Caribbean, Ireland, Las Vegas and around New England (Newport, Nantucket, etc).I just came back from Ireland with some girlfriends and Im heading out on a safari to South Africa in a month (did I mention how lucky I am).Whats you favorite spot for a girls trip? #girlstrip #NationalGirlfriendsDay #roadtrip #weekendaway #escape #newengland #Nantucket #aruba #Ireland #duderanch #adventures #adventuresawait #advenutresawait
Doors of Dingle so many vibrant colors. I think the personification of the Irish spirit itself. In a country where the persistent rain and grey sky can dampen even the most cheerful spirit, the colourful doors are a statement of bravado. Like the lively pubs and spirited music, these doors remind you to smile through the day, come what may.
There’s a few theories of why doors in Ireland are painted so vibrantly. There is the one that involves Queen Victoria. Ireland was colonized by the English and when Queen Victoria, nicknamed the “famine queen" in Ireland, died, the Irish were told to paint their doors black in mourning. In rebellion, they painted them in bright colours. It’s likely this story has no basis in truth and is meant merely to extol Irish defiance, but that doesn’t make it any less charming.
Another popular theory about the colourful doors involves writers George Moore and Oliver St John Gogarty, both of whom are said to have had a huge influence on James Joyce’s work. According to the story, Gogarty would return home drunk from the pub each night and end up knocking on his neighbour Moore’s door instead of his own. Annoyed, Moore painted his door green so that even a drunk Gogarty might be able to distinguish between the two. The trend caught on and residents started painting their doors in different colours to give their houses a distinct identity.
Another tale is that the painting of colorful doors was started by women. Women painted their doors so their drunk husbands wouldn’t mistake other homes for their own and crawl into bed with another woman.
Who knows which is true all i know i cant get enough of these colorful doors. Im not sure which i like best - red, yellow or tiffany blue. Whats your favorite?
