GLAMPING in style

"Glamping?"  It's a new term to describe luxury and camping, or upscale luxury, camping.  There are resorts that have already pitched tents, in gorgeous and exotic locations.  They are stocked with luxury linens, private baths and flattering lighting.  They are bug proof,  have around the clock butler service, private guides to take you fishing or hiking, and gourmet food.

So yes, while you are actually out in the wilderness sleeping in a fabulous tent with no one else around you, you will enjoy a proper bed, a bathroom, and all of the services of a 5 star hotel. It's still camping. Just not the way your cousin in Tennesse does it!   

I have done a few glamping trips and I love them.  My all time favorites have been in Tanzania, Africa as we followed the animal migration and Amanikhas, India where we did a Tiger safari.  

Grab the credit card honey, we’re going glamping!
