Hoornstra Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: You slip out the back door of your hotel and step into a fully enclosed shopping mall.

Hoornstra The Nostalgic California Vacation 101 is an introductory travel course, with a required reading list authored by literary giants. Henry Miller’s Big Sur is still as beautiful as ever.

Hoornstra As home to six national championship-winning Green Bay Packer teams, Lambeau Field is of one of the NFL’s most historic stadiums. Built in 1957 but renovated in 2003, a surprisingly modern-looking Lambeau still looms large in rural Green Bay, Wisconsin. “Where should I go if I want to see a brick from the original [...]]]> http://www.conwayconfidential.com/features/living-la-vida-lambeau/feed/ 0 http://www.conwayconfidential.com/features/fishing-for-color-in-salt-lake-city/ http://www.conwayconfidential.com/features/fishing-for-color-in-salt-lake-city/#comments Thu, 10 Jun 2010 21:29:08 +0000 admin http://www.conwayconfidential.com/?p=4407 By Paula Conway The goal on my second trip to Salt Lake City was to add some color to a city famous for its snow and salt.
