Travel

It’s hard to imagine planning a vacation right now not knowing what next week, let alone next month, might look like. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still incorporate a little relaxation and fun into the summer.

There’s good news for Atlantans who want to head to the mountains this summer but vacation close to home. Two of our favorite North Georgia properties have reopened with specials making it a great time for a getaway.

I don’t know about you, but being in the same city as the world’s busiest airport is so amazing to me.

The spa, great food, hiking trails on site and an easy drive from home were the reasons we chose Brasstown Valley Resort for a weekend getaway from Atlanta.

It’s that time of year – out of office messages are running rampant, summer Fridays are in session and working past 3PM is working late. If you’re like me, you love summer with its weather, the food, the laid-back atmosphere and pool time.

Set on 614 acres at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Ireland, Ballyfin may be the most elegantly appointed place I’ve ever stayed.
