Flying High, over the barrier islands of Georgia

Being able to getaway from our usual four walls, responsibilities and expectations, even if only for a day, helps us mentally as well as physically. Most people joke about going to a private island somewhere to just "vegging", taking it easy with no responsibilities for a while with a fruity concoction and sand between your toes. For those who live on the Eastern seaboard, or even a few hours inland, America's barrier islands offer a pleasurable respite. And yes, you can rent an island!
Take the Golden Isles of Georgia; Jekyll, Cumberland, St. Simons and other barrier islands; as you drive across the Torras Causeway bridge, you literally feel the tension ebb and flow out of your body.
One of the many highlights I enjoyed while visiting St. Simon's and Sea Island, was an aerial view, via helicopter, DragonFly Copters through the expert flying of owner/operator, Angie Griffon.
Angie flew myself and two other ladies about 500 feet over St. Simon's, Sea Island and Little St. Simon's. It was a beautiful afternoon, around 78 degrees with mild winds, as we explored the southern barrier islands, from a historical and habitat point of view.
Call DragonFly Copters Tours up and soon you'll be flying over the King and the Prince, around the Lighthouse & Museum, towards Jekyll Island then back north, over marshes to Little St. Simon, a private island. Your pilot can give you a great overview of who's who on the island, some of the fascinating history to the flora and fauna and its' inhabitants. Whirl over alligators, birds and other critters foraging in the marshes.
Feel free as you whir overhead and get a real birds eye view of the Golden Isles and how beautiful these islands really are.

South Beach Adventure

The beach beckons. Warm, soft sand and turquoise waters offer the perfect playground 

for any age. Welcome to South Beach Miami. We're staying at the Z Ocean Hotel a few sandal-clad steps from one of America's Hottest Beaches. 

Valet your vehicle and step into a new adventure.

Guests can enjoy jet skiing, para sailing, boating, biking and helicopter rides, to peek your adventure. Shopping alone is a sport not for the faint at heart. If you're going to visit Miami, South Beach is the place to be, and Z Ocean Hotel is in the heart of the action. Walk to great restaurants, whether you're looking for pasta, steak or sushi, you'll find plenty of choices along the beachfront, Ocean Drive, or on Collins Avenue one block over. Or, at the hotel's restaurant, Table 8, partake in a light or hearty fare with hundreds of candles, earthy plants and decor, watch a game on one of the large screen tv's or dine with friends over drinks with hip music. 

After a hectic day playing in the surf or shopping, step into your Spa Suite, with a jacuzzi (for four) on the balcony, plush king-size beds with overstuffed pillows and an entertainment center to chill out. Bose surround sound both inside and out, on your private balcony. 

We know men and women a like will enjoy the partitioned bath. With frosted glass and four wall sprays, a handheld spray and rain shower, a separate vanity area, you'll feel like you're in heaven. 

Oh, did I mention the pool on the second floor? A great lap pool with lounge chairs in the sun and in the shade, a bar and even a few small waterfalls to help you forget the hustle and bustle around you. 

Elegance surrounds you--both inside your suite and outside on the sizzling beach.
