On my last day in Hawaii, I decided to get on a standup paddleboard for the first time and paddle out into the lagoon….

I never thought I would like Las Vegas, back in a time when I didn’t understand casinos, the games, the way it all worked, and just how glamorous they could be. This wasn’t our first time in Las Vegas, but in some ways, it seemed like an age since we were there last; yet, when the iconic strip rolled by outside the windows of the Bellagio limousine, the rush of familiarity melted the time away.

There are so many things to do in Los Angeles, but when you get tired of Hollywood, travel down to Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Beach for some true glamour and relaxation.
