A HAT TRICK PLUS ONE

The last leg of October included the most hectic run of my new business. I did four consecutive events in four days that required traveling to Washington DC, Denver, Spokane, Coeur d'Alene (Northern Idaho), Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Charleston, and Kiawah Island (South Carolina). From Kiawah Island I went back to Charleston and then Atlanta. After Atlanta I made my way out to San Francisco, Sacramento, Salt Lake City and finally returned to Washington D.C. 100 hours after my original departure.

Highlights of this whirlwind tour included doing a lunch-talk for CoBank at the picturesque Lake Shore venue of the Coeur D'alene Resort in Idaho. The Coeur D'alene is affectionately regarded as "The Playground of the Northwest". Take a look at their website - cdaresort.com.

From Coeur D'Alene I headed off to The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. The Sanctuary has the distinction of a AAA five star diamond rating, and was voted the No. 1 U.S. Golf Resort by Travel and Leisure magazine, and the No. 1 Tennis Resort by TennisResortsOnline.com. I definitely can vouch for the fact that the staff in the kitchen was exceptional. They really outdid themselves with their versions of my recipes.
