What a week&#8230;very very busy one for me. Too busy in fact. I am personally glad its over. I am worn down to the bone. Not feeling so great, in fact. I attended a Scalamandre event last night and realized I was running out of steam, it was one of many things I committed to this week and one too many, but on a bright note must say they are looking better than ever! Got to see all the new fabric lines and in 2 weeks they are getting a brand new wallpaper book. They have a new owner (in case you didn&#8217;t know they were bankrupt and in big trouble) so new life is being breathed into the company by a charged and enthusiastic new owner. I really enjoyed hearing so much about the long and illustrious history of Scalamandre from their in house historian who was part of the evening, ?including the many White house assignments, such interesting stories! I definitely had my eye on a few goodies&#8230;&#8230;<\/center><br \/>\n<center><br \/><\/center><br \/>\n<center>Moving on&#8230;&#8230;you by now know me and my overactive imagination and love of travel which can take us to some pretty rocking exotic locations! So, today I showcase hip lounges around the world and knock your socks off pools polished off by drop dead exotic massage locations.Then I top off this perfect exotic excursion?with your choice of locales for the ultimate dinner for two in the most scenic places imaginable. So go ahead and pick your ultimate trip, you get to choose a lounge, a pool, a massage location and finally a place to wine and dine your weary soul in out of this world, beyond your imagination, one of a kind, scenic dinner for two locations.<\/center><br \/>\n<center><br \/><\/center><br \/>\n<center>?Welcome to <i>my<\/i> world (my dream world that is) Hey, as I always say if you are going to dream.. you might as well go big!! I guess this post is telling of the VERY action packed somewhat stressful week I have had, because I have getting away very much on my mind and this post looks really really good right about now&#8230;&#8230;.getting on a plane to escaping to one of these exotic locales looks pretty sweet as my son would say (he would cringe if he heard me say this) Oh well makes me feel young! ?So here&#8217;s to fun and exotic travels&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/center><br \/>\n<center><br \/><\/center><br \/>\n<center>Some cool places to relax, have an exotic drink, listen to music,
