It's 8:45 am and I am in my room at the Intercontinental Hotel Boston wondering whether to order room service or not. I open the curtains and a huge burst of sunshine greets me. Gotta get outside. But first a quick breakfast downstairs at the Miel Restaurant inside the hotel.

In the early morning I usually read the news while I sip my coffee. I see on Boston.com that the Intercontinental Hotel Boston is ranked one of the top 25 luxury hotels in the Unites States. Well hey. So I drop Bob a note saying we should stay there on our next trip to Boston. He responds with "Book a room for tonight, we're going to Boston".

It is Wednesday morning and 12" of fresh snow fell last night. The snow is good. Our plan is to get to the lifts for first runs, but Bob's business calls go a little over. We are on mountain by 9:30, though, so things are in good shape. It is overcast and the top is socked in. Let the games begin.

It's my last day in NYC and I. have plans! A little shopping, a walk and photo shoot through Central Park, maybe a light lunch, some blogging and then a lovely dinner with the husband. It is clear and sunny! Except, the Polar Vortex (freezing cold air) has arrived and the temperatures are bone-chilling. Time for a change of plans. Spa day.

My favorite thing to do when I go to a city is to walk around and explore the environs, and if it's a big city like New York or San Francisco, I usually stay close to the hotel. There is always so much to do and see within a few mile radius, and you get to learn a bit about one section of town. The trick is to book a hotel in a different neighborhood each time so that you slowly stitch together a feel for the city as a whole. This trip we are staying in Midtown New York, and there is a LOT going on around here! It will be hard NOT to find something fun to do!

Bob has business travel in New York City, so I of course am tagging along. This blog should really be titled, "Follow Ann follow Bob Around'! Kinda how it goes. So we are leaving Tuesday at 12:00pm and I am stressed. I decided to do all my laundry before we left. My clothes are in the dryer, it is 11:45 and they are not dry. I need more time. Departure gets extended to 12:30 and I make it in then nick of time.

Whitefish Mountain, Whitefish Montana. Referred to by the locals as "Big Mountain". And it IS big! My skiing was not on pointe during my visit on December 24th, but I sang/scatted "Let it Snow" all the way down. All. Day. Long. Now THAT was on pointe!!! People are starting to get to know know me here.

It is our last day in Southern California and Bob has a clear schedule (except for a few/many phone calls), so we are renting a car and heading to San Diego. I have a landmark in mind. It is the Hotel del Coronado. We will take our time along the way and drink in the vistas of the beautiful California coastline.

It is Monday and the team is in meetings all day. I told Barbara I would meet her at the gym at 9am for Zumba. I have never Zumba'd before, but I used to be a cheerleader so how hard can this be? I get dressed in my workout gear and on the way to the Fitness Center I see this guy walking around with a hawk. They use hawks to keep the pigeons at bay but I can tell you from my lunch experience yesterday that it does not work, but this is a great photo. This guy has a great job!

Our travels out of Sioux Falls (with a brief pit stop at Wall Drug) lead us to Bozeman, Montana, our last stop until we reach our final destination of Bigfork, MT. The ride is long-ish compared to our previous legs, but around 7:00pm, we pull into our home for the night, the Lark Hotel on Main Street.

Our trip from Chicago, IL. to Sioux Falls SD. is unremarkable besides the fact that we are leaving a blizzard behind us. We drive through Wisconsin, cross the Mississippi River and travel through all of Minneapolis on Route 90. There are 10,000 windmills in Minneapolis, by the way, I counted

Bob said it would be a long time before we did it again, so I guess 12 months qualifies. We are driving to Montana. In the car. With the dog. Again. This time we have added an extra day so that our average drive time per day is 8 hours, not accounting for pit stops. Totally do-able. And we're off.

Summers seem to go by in about 5 minutes and it is sooo easy to miss having a leisurely weekend with the ones you love. Especially if your main squeeze really has no idea what relaxing is all about. So I booked us a room at the Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine for the weekend. Time to show my guy what kicking back looks like.
