Where to Spend Your Summer Vacation: Madeline Island, Wisconsin

Madeline Island is small, filled with charm and stunning blue-sky, clean, sandy beached beauty! It offers some of the best fishing and sailing around. There's also tennis, golf, canoeing or even kayaking. The birds and wildlife remind you you're not at home and there are two very nice campgrounds as well as luxury hotel accommodations. I played golf with my dad and my sister the last time I was there -- and the day was so breathtakingly beautiful -- the sky to brilliantly blue, I'll never recover! I even managed to enjoy the golf, even though I do not excel at it!

It's a relaxing, do nothing, do anything you'd like kind of place with great summer Midwestern weather, laid back people to care for you're every need, cute shops, in the historic downtown area. Dining from the casual (don't forget a picnic!) to the gourmet) To find out more follow this link: http://www.madelineisland.com/index.shtml

Libby Talks Travel - The Bahamas

The purpose of this blog will be to visit virtually speaking all the places of the world I'd really like to visit one day. I will feature a different travel spot in each post, an exotic corner of the world, from Cancun pictured in the header to the Bahamas I am writing about in this section. Please give me suggestions if there is a particular place you would like to see discussed. We can all live vicariously through the sights and sounds. some of us may decide to make their visit real. And we're prepared for that! For your convenience, this blog is linked to Libby Talks Travel -- my travel site -- and you can book a trip through it to anywhere that tickles your fancy. I will keep this blog updated, unless I decide to follow my own advice and to hit the open road or water!

Speaking of water, Grand Bahama Island lies just 50 miles east of Florida and is a lovely place to visit for it's weather, friendly people and beautiful beaches. As a visitor you are at the center of island life. You will be welcomed and entertained with genuine warmth and hospitality. Grand Bahama Island’s hotels and casinos are of a caliber that has earned them the title of “New World Riviera.” There is an International Bazaar with a collection of beautiful boutiques. I was born to shop!

Grand Bahama Island is a wonder! It is known for its beautiful nature preserves and hiking trails. Highlights while you're not shopping would be: pristine beaches, lovely villages and all that goes in to making a true tropical paradise.
