Sugar Coated Holiday

I'm listening to "Candy" by Stegosaurus and eating marshmallow bunnies while getting a Chocolate Sugar Scrub. How very rock star of me ...

The sweetness is sure to continue when my sugar-induced vacation takes me to the SWEETEST PLACE ON EARTH — Hershey, Pennsylvania. Here, I can let my professional copywriting pencil go dull and take a job in a chocolate factory. Or, increase my sugar rush on the Sooperdooperlooper roller coaster and go back for seconds. When it’s time to relax and retreat, The Suites at Hershey is a delicious destination filled with all the amenities I crave on a chocolate holiday.

For more tasty ideas, I'll unwrap Bluegreen's Hershey Travel Guide.

“Brown Eyed Girl” First Heard in 1967

Van Morrison records “Brown Eyed Girl” in 1967. With Bluegreen, I have access to more than 45 world-class resorts and an almost limitless variety of Colorful Places to Play. That means I can listen to colorful songs in the green grass, down in the hollow or while just standing in the sunlight laughing. Sounds like the perfect vacation to me.

Kentucky Roarless in Elite Eight Loss

The University of Kentucky hit a big giant pothole on their road to the Final Four. They played more like mildcats than wildcats. Oh well, “Even the Losers” deserve a great Bluegreen vacation.

Breaking Benjamin Rockin' in Virginia

Have a rock and roll Phobia? Those fears will be eliminated the minute Breaking Benjamin takes the stage. Their music will saturate your ears with powerful lyrics, awesome riffs and pounding beats. Catch them live on April 14 in Hampton, Virginia at the Hampton Coliseum.

After the concert, turn back the pages to America's beginnings. When it comes to relaxing places to retreat in Colonial Williamsburg, give me Patrick Henry Square or give me Parkside Williamsburg Resort. Both give me 21st Century amenities in 18th Century surroundings. Yesterday is waiting for you today at a Bluegreen resort in this historical destination.

April Showers Bring Puddle of Mudd to Charleston

Puddle of Mudd will playing the Ladson Fairground in Charleston, South Carolina on April 25. Should you find yourself blurry after the show, The Lodge Alley Inn is the perfect place to relax and retreat. Charleston is filled with plenty of history, southern charm and delectable places to dine — so put yourself on cloud 9 with a Bluegreen vacation. For a "frightening"
experience, join hands with one you love and take a Lowcountry Ghost Walk.

Free Bird Flying into West Palm Beach

Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd are bringing some good ol' swamp music to the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida on June 6. I'm a simple man, but I need trendy vacations. So gimme three steps and a car ride down to Miami and I'll be at Bluegreen's Solara Surfside resort soaking up everything South Beach has to offer.

Aaron Lewis not Staind in Orlando

Aaron Lewis of Staind is going solo in Orlando on March 24 at Hard Rock Live. If it's been a while since you've seen live rock and roll, grab your "Mudshovel" and get ready to dig the music. The Fountains and Orlando's Sunshine Resort are not so far away. What better reason to plan a Bluegreen vacation getaway ...

Joan Jett in Petoskey, Michigan

I love rock and roll, Michigan and daring outdoor adventures. So I'm especially excited to see Joan Jett play the Odawa Casino Resort in Petoskey, Michigan on July 10. After the show, I'm heading to Mountain Run at Boyne for another awesome Bluegreen vacation. One of my favorite activities is hopping on the ski lift with my mountain bike and plummeting down the slopes. If you love adrenaline surges, this better be at the top of your "must try" list.

Rock City Angels Coming to O-Town

Bluegreen owners enjoying a vacation at The Fountains or Orlando's Sunshine Resort in April should definitely check out Rock City Angels — they'll be performing at Will's Pub in Orlando on April 23. I've had the pleasure of playing drums with the guitar player so I can guarantee the show will rock.

Kentucky to Celebrate Sweet Sixteen Party

Kentucky made things look easy in the Big Easy. They scored 190 March Madness points in two games to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. They probably won't even have to sharpen their claws to make it into the Final Four. I hope all my Bluegreen friends staying at Bluegreen Club La Pension remembered to crank up "We Are The Champions" for everyone in New Orleans. For those interested in great gaming experiences off the basketball court, be sure to visit Harrah's Casino — it's right across the street.

Airplane Reborn as Starship After “Embryonic Journey”

Jefferson Airplane changes their name to Jefferson Starship in 1974.

If you haven't been on vacation in a while, you can change that in a hurry. Take off and find your way back to Bluegreen. I suggest spending a few nights under the stars in the Shenandoah Valley on a deluxe RV pad with your very own patio and fire ring — it'll be love at first "site". Go ask Alice ...

ZZ Top is Bad, Nationwide and in West Palm Beach

The Tres Hombres, ZZ Top, are bringing their beards, guitars and drums to the SunFest Music Festival in West Palm Beach, Florida on April 29. After the show, put on your cheap sunglasses and hit the road for a short drive down to Solara Surfside in Miami. Whether you're a sharped dressed man or a woman with legs that never end, you'll find this Bluegreen resort the perfect place to relax and retreat. FYI: You can leave your sleeping bag at home. The accommodations here are all first class!

It's a Great Day to be Bluegreen, Begorrah!

Q: What do you call an Irish-lip sync band?

A: Shamrock.

For tunes that really rock on St. Paddy's Day, and any other time of the year, be sure to turn up the volume and check out Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys and, of course, U2. If you're looking for Colorful Places to Play at the end of the vacation rainbow, you'll find them at more than 45 Bluegreen resorts.

Pat Benatar to Get Nervous in the Nation's Oldest City

Pat Benatar is coming to the St. Augustine Ampitheatre on July 2 and I'm all fired up! She was the first rock chick I ever liked so I'll always have a fondness for her music. After a night of rockin' and waxing nostalgic, I'm heading for a little paradise and a great Bluegreen golf experience. With two courses designed by legendary golfers Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, Grande Villas at World Golf Village is anything but par for the course. Off the greens and fairways you'll find the country club décor of each villa will have you singing the "Ooh, Ooh, Song."

Iron Maiden. Picturesque Desert Landscapes. Sounds Great!

If you haven't been on a Bluegreen vacation, it's time to make up for wasted years by booking a breathtaking desert getaway. While you're at it, you can make plans to see one of the best metal acts in all of rock and roll — Iron Maiden. They're running free across the United States and will be invading the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix on June 17. After a night of headbanging, you can relax and unwind in the Wild West. Your luxurious Arizona vacation villa will be waiting at Cibola Vista Resort and Spa.
