Beaches Still Beautiful
"We will continue to be transparent." Those were the words of Loretta Shaffer with the Beaches of South Walton Tourist Development Council, speaking about the state of the beaches on the panhandle of Florida. Loretta, and five of her co-workers, are on a five-city media tour to let us know the beaches are still beautiful and tourists are still enjoying their vacations. BSW, a collection of 15 of the most beautiful beaches in the world, are of course at risk for impact from the oil spill. Get the latest updates, and daily photos, at www.bswupdate.com. Please, travelgirls, don't give up on these gorgeous beaches! They all need our support. The photo at the right was taken yesterday at Seaside.
Two-for-One in Cabo
Get every second night free from July 1 to September 30 at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa in Cabo. This beautiful adults-only spa offers these rates per room with two guests. The resort has a spa, four restaurants and offers water sports, golf, eco tours and sport fishing. Or just relax on the beach and explore the two towns of San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo in one of Mexico's most popular tourists areas.
Pick of the Week
Our friends at Shabby Apple, whose lines of dresses appeared in our last issue, also have a line of accessories. We love these fun rings, with names like British Isles, African Nights and Bahama Beaches, and their metal stretch bands that will always fit. (Even when that bikini doesn't). Rings start at $22.
