MichelleLeaving the easy road

What do we do when answers perpetuate further questions? Does it mean a pause in our travels, pulling over for a rest stop or do we push on, perhaps disregard the answers? It's quite normal to do the latter. I know. Sometimes it's easier to hide in the nightclubs of Bangkok and become lost in the crowd in Rio than to listen and be forced to hear the insistent whisper of our ephiphanies. But in the end, the whisper cannot be drowned out and in the end, we realise it is peace we seek, even in our adventures and hair-raising encounters with the world. Peace, rather than oblivion. If we'd wanted the cushions of an easy road, a comfortable seat, we would have stayed home.
In the many accommodation options in the Hunter Valley, a personal recommendation is the previously mentioned Crowne Plaza. The property, located in Lovedale, opened late last year and when I stayed, still had that new smell right around the property. The rooms have space and are naturally toned but the Restaurant, Redsalt, and the Vista bar are especially good. The first couple of nights we stayed, we couldn't even get a table for dinner, it was fully booked. The property has Golf and tennis courts which we took advantage of. Best of all for parents is that they are the only property in the Hunter Valley with a children's recreation area apparently. It doesn't close at any time during the year and there is no additional cost for using it. There you go, no reason not to go off to the Hunter for that long weekend coming up!
