spring break aloft

Spring Break. Like a sandwich at noon, if you remember, it always came at just the right time and it satisfied, relieved and reminded us: Breathe! Be! Free! Whee!

Being school aged is less than fabulous for a million reasons, but for built in time off, well, it's kind of the bomb.com. And so, I've decided. I'm bringing back the Break. I'm bringing back the ritual, the timeline and? The time off to travel, get free and go gather up some fresh creative juices and juju to take into a blinging new season.

Since it's my first Spring Break since 2001, I've decided to keep myself organized and go ahead and stick to a theme: Exploration. I'm going to go on a giant aloft Hotel exploration safari, and trek out into the abyss of the US to check out a few of our newer but no less shinier and sparklier hot spots. Because I'm organized and anal retentive, I had to make a list to keep my chi in check.

So, here it is. Find me at any of these locations over the next few weeks. I know we've never met, but I'm sure you'll recognize me. I'll be the gal in the I Heart Queens shirt with the aloft logo stamped on the backside of my skirt. Spring Break aloft! Here I come!!!

Point 1: aloft Chesapeake Hotel (Chesapeake, VA)

Point 2: aloft Richmond West Hotel (Richmond, VA)

Point 3: aloft Arundel Mills Hotel (Hanover, MD)

Point 4: aloft Bolingbrook Hotel (Chicago, IL)

Point 5: aloft Charleston Hotel (Charleston, SC)

I couldn't squeeze in more than that without turning my vibe upside down. But be assured: I will be at one of these joints, I mean it. I'll be recharging, refueling and remixing like no other. Find me splashing, sassing, sipping, meeting, mixing and mingling. Find me if you can. Globetrotting. Aloha style.

C'mon, already. Let's do this, kiddos!
