Jul 14th, 2010 at 2:00PM: Sometimes you just need a little "om."

You can escape to the gym, or you can escape to a more serene environment where mind, body and spirit are the focus of your journey.

When you stay at a resort like The Abbey Resort and Spa on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, chances are that you'll eat many of your meals at the property's on-site restaurant. This can sometimes mean dining on uninspired dishes like rubbery "hotel chicken" or resigning yourself to the fact that you'll be spending a fortune on each meal in order to avoid heading offsite in search of better or cheaper ...Escape from Chicago with low Fall rates at The Abbey

Several weeks ago, I had the chance to check out The Abbey Resort and Spa on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. 80 miles from Chicago and even less from Milwaukee, it's the perfect Fall escape from either city. Chicago residents don't even need a car to get there; the ...The mail jumpers of Lake Geneva

For the residents who live on waterfront property in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the daily mail delivery comes by boat. The U.S. Mailboat Walworth makes the delivery every morning at 10am from June 15 to September 15, stopping at over 60 lakefront homes. At each dock, the mail girl - or the occasional mail boy - jumps from the boat, races to the mailbox while dodging rafts and dock furniture, ...The Abbey Resort and Spa: Luxury on Lake Geneva

Billing itself as "the only full-service resort" on the shores of Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, The Abbey Resort and Spa is one of those places where you can almost feel the ghosts of the past whispering around you. The resort was completely renovated in 2005, but its timber A-frame and low-slung bungalow style buildings look much as they did when it was built nearly 50 years ago, when the ...Storm the Bastille with Concorde Hotels

Thought I'd share this shot, taken a couple of days ago, looking out of a window at the ancient and famous Chateau de Chillon (Montreux, Switzerland). Lake Geneva spreads out beneath the Alps, looking exactly as it did when Lord Byron wrote The Prisoner of Chillon.
As Switzerland suffers through its warmest winter since they've been keeping records (140 years), the beauty is undiminished, while ...Thinking Cold Thoughts for 2007
Jan 8th, 2007 at 4:04PM:
Britain's Meteorological Office announced that 2007 will be a record year for heat, and we will have that wonderful El Nino "weather phenomenon" to thank. So, in an effort to think cool thoughts, I'm passing on this picture from January 2005 of an ice storm's effects. This freezer-burned landscape was found along Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Apparently, the spray from the lake turned to ice, and ...
