If you have been a savvy tourist for awhile now, you will know that I am humorously known as "Annie Ego", the much-feared travel critic. This is derived from the movie Ratatouille by Disney, whereas "Anton Ego" is the very much-feared food critic. For me, it is all in good fun. The name that is, not the critic part. I take my reviews very seriously and I am a stickler for Customer Service. That is something else that all you savvy tourists already know about me! The reason I even bring this up is because it is time once again to travel and I am trying to decide which establishments I will be evaluating on this trip.
I am scheduled to attend an exhibit and reception at the Gualala Arts Center on July 12th. There will be a photographic exhibit inspired by one family's travels to Switzerland over many years. I am very much looking forward to this trip and I plan to make a stop or two along the way. After all, that is what a good travel critic does, right?
I am hoping to spend a little time in Tiburon, CA., just across the Bay from San Francisco. I drove through there about seven years ago and made a mental note to myself to go back if ever I got the chance. They have ferry service across the Bay to San Fran's Fisherman's Wharf and other area attractions, so I thought it would be nice to stay in a quiet little romantic town and take the ferry over to the hustle and bustle of the big city. I have had my eye on The Lodge at Tiburon ever since I heard about their $6 million renovation. It has the perfect location at the tip of the peninsula and is surrounded by quaint little shops and cozy restaurants. This should be a great place to add to my "review repertoire" and share with my devoted savvy tourists. Guess what? The Lodge also has complimentary wireless Internet access which we all know ranks very high on my list of criteria.
