In a tech-heavy world, there are still peaceful, relaxing corners to enjoy. I had the chance to visit one up close last month when I traveled to Onera in Wimberley, Texas. About an hour's drive south from Austin, Onera Wimberley sits on 20 quiet acres and is considered a luxury landscape hotel. The 12 treehouse-style units and 16 greenhouse units take sustainable "glamping" a step further with modern accommodations and a nice list of amenities.

The Pearl Harbor National Memorial, including the USS Arizona Memorial, is a must-do experience for visitors to our 50th state.

My first trip to Hawaii included a stay in a 2-bedroom island view villa at Disney's Aulani, a luau experience, and a tour of Oahu.

My family's New Year celebration kicked off in a gorgeous 3-bedroom, 12-person Grand Villa at Contemporary Resort's Bay Lake Tower.

Phenomenal hotels in the heart of Tampa with so much to see and do!

What an amazing weekend touring five resorts, learning, laughing, and getting to know each other.
