TRAVEL PLANNERS RADIO SHOW FEB. 20

We continued the show from last week when we talked about Sue's trip to Traverse City, MI.  You can't head north to Michigan in the winter without doing some snow sports. The show started out with talking with Steve Kershner, the Director of Snowsports for Shanty Creek Resorts www.shantycreek.com   Steve talked with us about the downhill and cross country trails, the snowtubing, and snow boarding and dogsledding (for kids).    Shanty Creek is made up of three villages and is a great family destination.  So, what happens when the skiing is dwindling?  The fun begins with cardboard decorated boats going downhill, a slush pond to jump across or fall into and a triatholan of sorts with pole, paddle and pedal.  Shanty Creek is known as "Michigan's Favorite Resort."   We headed west with our next guest, Bonnie Char, CVB of Iron County Tourism from Cedar City, UT. We found out about "Festival City USA", the Gateway to the National Parks of Zion and Bryce Canyons and exploring slot canyons.  Cedar City is a four season community. www.scenicsouthernutah.com   Kevin talked about the latest in Travel News and Sue Talked about some good winter tips when traveling in your vehicle.   Tom Parsons, BestFares.com, talked about some super deals and steals for spring and out of the country to Spain and Barcelona.   We headed back north to the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, MI to talk with Marie Chantal-Dalese about her family's vineyard Chateau Chantal.  The chateau is also a B&B, conference center and is great for romantic weddings.  There are year-round Tapas Tours and cooking classes. www.chateauchantal.com   See you next week and hope you join us again.
