Time For Go-Go Juice! - Where Do You Travel?

Well, good morning sleepy head. Guess what? It’s Monday – another week that lies ahead. Rushing kids off to school, fighting the morning rush traffic, catching up on all the emails that flooded you over the weekend, making the morning staff meeting, answering a phone that won’t stop ringing and making the next set of deadlines to meet the goals you set last week. I know you keep your Go-Go Juice nearby – if anything, it’s a Monday requirement to get back on the ball (or horse, or wagon, or whatever it is you ride). Maybe it’s a Harley – maybe you’re lucky enough to wish your colleagues well, while you jam off for a week of total bliss, rumming your engine with wind blowing in your hair at 65mph as you head off to parts unknown. Have you ever given it much thought to the amount of traveling we do in our lives? Whether for business or pleasure, we are people who are always on the go. But to where? I’ve got some ideas for both corporate and leisure experiences.

If you’re having to be out of town on business, to make meetings and just need a room, (of course, much depends on your expense account and what your company will pay), but great corporate hotels designed with corporate settings, convenience and usually found nestled among the inner city lining of hustle and bustle includes my favorites Hyatt Place, Holiday Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, and the Fairfield Inn. Now, if you’re with a corporate group and need conference space where you do not have to meet other businesses in downtown areas, you have a lot of neat choices. I love the resort atmosphere – everyone gets to get away from the usual and be in more inviting locations. Conference destinations are amazing! Check out Aspen Meadows Resort to have conferences at the Aspen Institute (my favorite, ok I’m biased!) located in beautiful Aspen, Colorado, The Inverness Hotel of Denver, CO, the Hamilton Park Hotel and Conference Center, located in Florham Park NJ, the Skamania Lodge in Portland, OR, Sun River Resort in Sunriver OR, the Miramonte Resort and Spa in Palm Springs CA and Wild Dunes Resort in Charleston SC are to name a few.

If you’re looking for leisure with a family theme there’s plenty of fun, sun and water for people of all ages at these fine hotels: Kalahari Resorts located in three locations Ohio, VA, and Wisconsin Dells, there’s Circus-Circus Hotels in Las Vegas NV, Six Flags Great Escape in Lake George NY, CoCo Key Water Resort in Waterbury CT, Arizona Grand Resort located in Phoenix AZ, and Grizzly Jacks Grand Bear Resort in Utica IL are also just a few.

I can recommend hundreds of places and types of hotels with environments where the list goes on – ok, well, that’s because I’ve been in this business for over twenty years and I’ve traveled from coast to coast and have walked quite a number of these places myself. Do you have a specific interest or need? Maybe I can help you! Email me and I will step up to bat to put your Harley, SUV or all around Caravan in the right direction. And, let me tell you, all these places offer some of the most amazing flavors of Go-Go Juice you could ever imagine!

Well, if you’re not heading off for fun whether business or pleasure and you’re stuck at work all week, make it the best you can, cause in the end when you accomplish your goals and everyone is patting you on the back for a job well done, you know you’ll be heading off soon for the fun and R&R you’ve been waiting for! Keep up the great work and keep your Go-Go Juice brewing! Have a great Monday and week ahead.
