Taking a break, but I'll be back tomorrow!

Usually, I take a day off from blogging on Sundays. I'm doing a day early this week after a long stretch of work and vacation traveling, I finally got home late last night. Come back tomorrow for a special Splurge Sunday post!

Eco-travel tool: Lightload Towels are biodegradable, small and cheap! I recently saw a press release for a product a had to share with you. Lightload Towels are a super-absorbent 36" by 60" beach towels packed into a small metal tin the size of a lib balm container. They were created by an ultra-hiker nicknamed Wideload who apparently knows the value of keeping your travel weight down. I sure could have used these towels during my last camping trip, which was a debacle of over-packing. Online, the towels are $6.50 individually or down to $1 a piece when bought in bulk.

Guest rooms feature organic linens and towels. The resort’s main restaurant, Murray Circle , creates its menu with food available from local producers. Cavallo Point's Institute at the Golden Gate will use the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy's expertise to host sustainability events and programs. It's also rumored that...
