If I were to fall over suddenly, I hope it would be between the Chardonnay barrels and the Cabs. That way maybe my ghost would hang around. After all, I would not be at peace...bottle of red? or bottle of white? This is a great place. The Two Rivers Winery and B and B in Grand Junctions, Colorado. It's hard to beat great wine and a 50 dollar room. Miles

Ok, here is one for you. Beaumont, Kansas? It's only claim to fame as far as I can tell is a huge wooden water tower left over from the train era. What's weird is that it has some restored old hotel next to the train tracks that looks pretty cool. That said, there appears to be nothing else in the whole place. Nothing, open or alive that is. It's off of I-70 in Kansas if you are needing to get out of the car....MIles

When traveling one occasionally comes across a tourist attraction that makes you scratch your head. The door to nowhere fills that void at the Palace hotel and spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I didn't find it too interesting but our host and tour guide was amazed and proud of it. It just goes to show you that is really is all in the presentation. Miles

Halloween is always my favorite time of year. A little craziness goes a long what to returning one to sanity. At the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs it was just that. After all, Halloween in one of the most haunted places in America has to be good. D and I decided on Baroque this year.. Very chic don't you think? Miles

Ok, three fat sisters came into the bar.......Have you ever wondered who learns to play these kinds of instruments? I do, and I'm not sure if you have to have a high school band background or not. I know this, I have never seen a 7 year old girl getting a lesson on one of these...but I would like to. Miles

More Porch music at the Bean Festival in Mountain View. What a shindig this is. They come from all around for the bean cookoff and of course, the outhouse races. Book that room early....Miles

The Ozark Mountains always have a special place in my heart. Nothing like sitting at the pickin porch in Mountain View, which by the way is the Mountain Music capital of the world. They come from all over, most a little older but they can still crank out the bluegrass. Go there some time. You won't be disappointed. Miles
