Hotel D'Angleterre, Copenhagen

Oprah was recently in Copenhagen, trying to gin up support for Chicago’s Olympic bid. Chicago didn’t get the 2016 Olympics, but Copenhagen did manage to grab on to some precious Oprah magic potion.

UpTake on Palm Trees in Hawaii

Happy February everyone!! How did that happen so quickly? I feel like just yesterday I was clinking a champagne glass and looking around a crowded room for the recipient of a New Years smooch…. if only…. actually I was at home, in my pj’s and curled up in bed with my chihuahuas by 11:30. Lame. NYE Smooches from pooches.

Alas, Welcome February and cupid and heart shaped boxes and all things romantic! Yup, you have 14 days to make plans for you and your sweetie. Perhaps, you might want to get away for a weekend, if so, check out UpTake.com for help in finding the best romantic inns and hotels around. This is not a shameless plug at all, UpTake is where it’s at for navigating you towards a lovenest for February 14th.

My idea of a lovenest?? No, not in a palm tree! But looking UP and TAKE-ing a mental snapshot of the blue sky and palm fronds blowing in the gentle Hawaiian breeze while swinging in a hammock, sipping a tropical drink from a coconut. Insert “lei” joke here.
