More Than One Perfect Day (And Place To Stay) In Palm Beach

Monday, April 01 2013 by Editor

By Jan Westmark-Allan I came across an article in Ocean Drive magazine the other day called “The Perfect Day in Palm Beach” and it made me smile. The article talked about where to stay in Palm Beach and how to “do as the uber-chic Palm Beachers do.” Several times this year I have “done” like the Palm Beachers and experienced the uber-chic lifestyle! Over the next three days I am going to tell you about the three luxurious places I stayed (yes, being an Editor can be tough!!) – and I will start with my first ultra swanky home-away-from-home: The Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach.

Surprise!

Monday, March 25 2013 by Editor

Walking the course of the Southern Pines Horse Trials II this past Friday underscored yet again the tremendous amount of preparation, and bravery, involved for both horse and rider at the Advanced level. These fences are not for the faint of heart, equine or human. The humans, of course, have walked the course more than once; the horses, however, as they round each twist and turn, are seeing the course for the very first time.

Monday, March 25 2013 by Editor

Whenever you head out onto public trails, you’re likely to encounter dogs. Hopefully they’re accompanied by their owners and are leashed, but that’s not always the case. Giving thought to how to deal with dogs before you encounter them will prepare you for if and when that time comes.
