Hi all. I'm a professional writer, based in tropical southwest Florida, but travelling constantly for articles about great destinations and hotels, emerging chefs and sublime restaurants, special events, architecture & design, and fascinating personalities. (See clips of my work at www.libbymcmillan.com)
My calendar stays pretty full: Last year my southwest adventures included visits to The Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, Albuquerque, Ruidoso and Santa Fe. I was fortunate to spend nearly 3 weeks in California with my girlfriend (and wine buyer) Ellen. We thoroughly enjoyed Mendocino, Sonoma and San Francisco before I headed off to Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills.
I also made a lot of great discoveries in the Keys, Orlando, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Bal Harbour, Palm Beach and Singer Island, as well as in my own back yard (Naples, Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva Islands). Art Basel in Miami Beach rounded out a great year.
This year has already found me mesmerized by Winter Park and Amelia Island, FL; Charleston, SC; and Savannah, GA. If you've never been to Charleston, put it on your must-see list, and take someone you love. I discovered the "new" Hollywood, FL, which is a real winner.
Next month, I'm headed out to Boulder, CO, and then to surreally beautiful Lake Powell, AZ for a family vacation.
In the meantime, BestOfSanibelCaptiva.com - the web site I own, about the islands where I'm based - also keeps me busy: Our message board and web site get thousand sof people per day, all planning their trip to beautiful southwest Florida. I hope they all share their opinions on Viewpoints after their trip!
