First day of Spring



For a Southern California girl who has spent the past 3 years in South Florida, living in Birmingham has given me my first taste of Spring. It is wonderful! Palm trees have nothing on the flowering trees here in the South.

Some people question my track record in terms of where I have lived vs. where I have ended up. Let's just say I had the opportunity to take on my dream job and I would have moved anywhere for this opportunity. What is this dream job you may ask? Well I am the Marketing Director for a travel magazine that targets the affluent executive. I love marketing. It's a field that unites creativity with traditional business practices. And the fact that I get to apply this to the travel industry makes this an awesome experience!

Right now I am getting ready to head to the Stanford Financial U.S. Open Championship for polo in Palm Beach, Florida. There is a mystique that goes along with attending a polo tournament in Palm Beach. Although it is about 30 minutes South of Palm Beach, my favorite place to stay when I go to South Florida is the Boca Raton Resort. The classic elegance of this hotel transports me to a different era; a time where people took the time to relish in the finer things.
