    Book your own family vacation at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa here: bit.ly/2Kt9uyQ
    Tips for staying at a large resort:
    1. Bring your own food for snacks/poolside lunches (hit a local grocery store or bring it from home).
    2. Upgrade your room to the club level to get breakfast, dinner and snacks.
    3. When you book your room, look for a package that bundles the services you want (golf, spa, family activities, meals).
    4. Bring a lightweight cardigan or jacket-it's COLD in the hotels!
    5. Bring a small nylon/water-resistant tote.
    6. Bring your own sunscreen-it's really marked up at the hotel!
    7. Bring at least one extra swimsuit (they never dry fast enough).
    8. Bring loungewear to hang around the room.

    It looks like you had a great time! These family memories are so precious and important. It is great you all got away together.

    @lisajmakeup 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    So helpful! Never thought about doing the resort club option. And I loved your suit! I ordered joggers and the same suit the next day 🤣 you’re right! It does suck you in all the right places.

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think I’m only going to wear that brand from now on! And I just bought the joggers in black yesterday! So fun hanging out with you!!! 😘

    TFS, Marnie! Love your channel and your wonderfully witty personality. Your advice about the club upgrade is the best! We discovered it years ago when an airline canceled our flight until the NEXT day but comped us a night at an airport hotel with Club privileges. Have paid for it several times since but have also been lucky to have it offered as a comp twice at close-to-home resort we splurge on every few years. Best, Marbs💕

    Great tips! I've not stayed at many resorts, but after hearing your suggestions, can definitely see the benefit in it. I did stay at Lost Pines a few years back for a work trip and it was a fabulous place! Thanks to you, I think it will make the short list when we plan our next vacation. Cheers!

    Great idea to find a resort in driving distance! Love these debriefs.

  • @nancyfong3535
    @nancyfong3535 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All great advice! It totally pays to be organized right down to all of the activities which should, if possible, be scheduled before arriving at your destination. They can certainly dictate your vacation schedule.

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s how we did it. Having it all planned out (and paid for) before you get there really makes it a true vacation!

  • @BakerFrancine
    @BakerFrancine 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These are awesome tips! I think we will look for a club level service next time we go to a resort, more variety and probably cheaper than room service. Thanks for sharing your vacation photos, such a good looking family, and the family bonding time is so important!

  • @leonor330
    @leonor330 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for sharing your tips. We have done the resort club option whenever it is available specially at high end resorts. The restaurants at Atlantis in the Bahamas are particularly exorbitant, and we are a family of five so we upgrade to the clubhouse option there. What we have been doing over the past eight years is to rent a condo/vacation home within the resort. We love doing this mainly because with three kids a traditional resort room is just not enough space. We love to stretch out and we usually get a three bedroom condo with fully stocked kitchen and washer/dryer. We ALWAYS do this at Disney World. Since we rent a condo/vacation home, as soon as we arrive, I hit the nearby supermarket to stock up for breakfast food items and snacks. We do breakfast in the condo, lunch and dinner out, but sometimes we like to actually cook dinner in the condo as well which is fun for us. We much prefer the condo/vacation home option and we get to do our laundry before we head home which is yet another perk.

  • @lauracurry9917
    @lauracurry9917 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    We purchased the Club Level at a Disney Resort last year and it was terrific. We packed little mini sandwiches from breakfast ingredients for lunches and saved so much money during the day at the park.

    The boys didn't get their own room? So nice that you all stayed together! Tfs your wonderful trip. We love the Hyatt Residences. Always stay at the one on Siesta Key beach, when it isn't red tide of course. ☺

    My sister and I take our families (kids all under age 9) to HLP every summer. We all love it! Moms can sip the best piña coladas in the world whilst bobbing down the lazy river with the kids, & dads golf. There’s a sandy beach attached to the pool - it’s an excellent family place! Roasting s’mores around the huge campfire & pony rides are a hit w/ our young crew. Thanks for the club level tip Marnie! We are going to do that next summer & save a ton. It was so fun to wake up and see that your fam loves HLP too! :) Thanks for sharing!

    I really like using a Longchamp Le Pliage Tote for travel. They are super light weight and you can fit alot in it.

    • @leonor330
      @leonor330 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Amanda Lillie I agree about Longchamp Le Pliage, it is my go to bag for traveling, BUT the trick is to use smaller bags inside, otherwise it is just a big black hole.

    • @amandalillie4543
      @amandalillie4543 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Leonorinspired For sure! I have a couple of cosmetic cases I use. I tease my kids that it's a bottomless pit!

  • @yvonneadrian734
    @yvonneadrian734 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a kayaker and find the best thing to wear is a bottom bathing suit with quick dry shorts and tank top. So comfortable and don't forget a visor or hat. Sounds like you had a great family vacation!

    I LOVE YOUR TRAVEL TIPS! My husband and I have family all throughout the Midwest and we travel a lot to see them in Indianapolis, St Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. All big cities with heavy price tags. I love saving any money any which way I can. I am glad you told me about the Club Levels. I never knew that!

    • @MsGoldgirl

      Club levels are fun-it’s also a nice place just to hang out. Let me know if you end up trying one out!

    @giap9913 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great tips! Several years ago I stayed 10 days, at a resort, off season; so, it was already discounted. They had an 'entertainment/education' night; so, my friend and I negotiated an additional discount in exchange for each of us giving a presentation in our area of expertise.

  • @SEFenno
    @SEFenno 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Marnie, I love your topical videos that can easily be referenced in the future! Sometimes when you share ideas within your vlogs, it can be hard to find it again later if I want to revisit the info. As a long time viewer, it was obvious to me that this was your intent. I wish the TH-cam world would be less cynical and think that everyone is selling their soul to marketers. I hope your newer viewers will find over time that you are incredibly honest, forthright on your sponsorships/ affiliates and give great personal advice. There is a reason you have reached 100,000 viewers and it was not just by creating a few viral videos, but building character based friendships over many years. (I reposted this comment in your general video feed, because I felt like it will be lost as a reply.)

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for being one of the few who understood why I made this video (and this type)! Your words mean so much to me, as does your friendship-we are WAY overdue for a get together!

  • @jencam2002
    @jencam2002 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree staying club level actually saves money. I have two teen boys and a hubby who likes his beer in the pm, so the club level more then pays for itself! I also agree with zip lining, better to wear more clothing because of all the harness. I will say that resort looks stunning, I will have to check it out for a family vacation with my boys and hubby.

    Nice to know what others take (helpful hints) going on vacations. I try to pack cotton sun dresses, capris and a few tops. We stay at resorts that have a kitchen so we can prepare our food and maybe have one meal out everyday. Loved your video Marnie.

  • @traciemcbeth6866
    @traciemcbeth6866 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These travel updates and do’s/don’t are great. I’m use to traveling to beach locations so, extra suits and flowing long dresses are a must. I usually get my dresses at Venus (wait for a sale) I now have a great collection. SUNSCREEN is a huge tip - Marnie is right $$ at the resorts.

  • @Marie-oy1bd
    @Marie-oy1bd 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ah, ziplining for your kids...been there, done that, too! I loved the ziplining, but the rappelling was what terrified me! I wore Nike dri-fit capris, and a bathing suit top under a Nike top (also dri-fit).
    You have sold me on nearby resort vacations. The travel time, sitting bunched up on the plane for hours, is what kills long distance travel for me.

    This was really helpful! We have a two year old son now so our days of trekking through Asia etc are probably done for a while. We like to rent a condo by the beach usually or do an all inclusive at a resort otherwise I spend the time getting worried about how much money we’re spending (my own fault but I can’t help it!)

    @ladycami5771 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good morning and thanks for lots of great information. My husband also loves to plan our vacations and is amazing at it. Egypt is next on the agenda for us. Glad you liked the zip line. I usually wear yoga pants, tee and a ball cap when I have to wear a helmet. If you wear shorts the harness can bunch up your shorts and make them really short and uncomfortable.

  • @JulieRanae
    @JulieRanae 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    My husband & I spent our 25th anniversary in Palm Desert, CA in Nov and absolutely loved the resort. The Marriott Shadow Ridge Resort is absolutely beautiful & full of amenities as well as a world-class golf course. We are planning another trip simply as a l.o.n.g. weekend. We live near Chicago, so it's a hike for a long weekend but so worth it. We find that we prefer to put the bulk of our spending into where we stay. Other than sights, our hotel is the #1 priority of our getaways. Thanks for the great review & debrief!

    • @MsGoldgirl

  • @RobynA11
    @RobynA11 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! My rule when we book for our family of four: breakfast is included. LOL!! By the time two adults and two teens have breakfast, it's a $75-100 start to the day. We eat towards the end of the allocated time (usually 10am) which lasts us through lunch, then we either order a snack or two by the pool or I do as you guys do and bring down some stuff from the room. We also keep the fridge filled with drinks and fruit, and I grab a bottle of chemical sh*tstorm creamer to make a coffee every morning. OH! And I take my Yeti everywhere. :D

    @strikkelises 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I second the stocking up on food and drink for the room. I also always have some kind of big, light shawl which can second as a light blanket for naps and keep me safe from the airconditioning frost. I tend to bring my own shampoo etc. but often take the little bottles (and shower caps!) home with me for my gym bag.

  • @amyk2902
    @amyk2902 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You have suggested the snack ideas/drinks in room before and it has helped us so much when we travel. Even if we do not rent a car, we ask our driver to stop by a convenient store so we can grab drinks/snacks/breakfast items for our room. Love this idea! About zip lining, we have done this in costa rica (600 feet in air above the rainforest trees) and in mexico. Yes, you definitely want pants or longer shorts and a shirt to wear. Athletic shorts would be too short and the harnesses would rub you. I can't wait to watch the vlog to see all the fun you had that week! :-)

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s good to know about zip lining-although I don’t know if I’ll ever do that again!! 🤣

  • @tawnyamarney
    @tawnyamarney 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That club level tip is so smart. We did a "staycation" at the Houstonian a couple years ago and did that for the first time. Just hubby and I but we barely ate anything else. I think we got room service once in 4 nights and lunch the one time we ventured out of the hotel. It's also great to have a second semi private lounge space. Hotel lobbies can get really busy and hotel rooms start feeling claustrophobic so that was great when I wanted someplace different to stretch out and read for a bit with easy access to snacks and a soda.
    I'll be looking into Lost Pines. How was the spa? I was starting to look for someplace within a few hour drive for another trip when we celebrate his chemo finishing next year.. this place sounds fun!

      The spa is very nice-I got the best massage I’ve ever had there! Ask for Michelle if you go. Congrats to your husband almost finishing chemo!! 💪🏻

    Marnie, I probably missed it, but do the four of you stay in the same room, or do the boys have their own room when y’all travel?

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We stay in the same room-2 queen beds. Works out great!

      Marnie Goldberg Wow, glad it works for you all. It would not work for us and my kids are younger than yours. The only way we do family vacations is by renting a condo or a room with a connecting bedroom though I know that is not always feasible for some people. As far as resort food expense, when my kids were younger and we would go to Disney, we always purchased the dining packages. Yes, you pay more, but it was worth it for us...or we just do all-inclusive resorts outside of the US.

    Just took my 16 yr. old grandson there a month ago. Agree fully with the food, The Firewheel Cafe did not have a buffet at night, not the $50 meal! Can't remember the name of the fancy restaurant on the 2nd floor but went there our last night, delicious, pricey but am still teaching table manners etc! Had no idea skeet shooting was offered, I would have loved that. Not far from my ranch so a perfect quick location. We decided that a cruise was our best bet, so he could hangout with kids his age. We, too, had been there when he was younger, so nice to revisit. Loved your take on it and I totally forgot about the club level.

    I can relate to your husband being the planner. Even though I work for an airline, my husband creates spreadsheets for every trip. Love your take on resorts and Lost Pines. We always tend to take one big trip abroad and then a shorter car trip every year. But we are empty nesters and it's much easier for us to get away now. However, we have 16 grandchildren and have promised to take each family to Disney World when the youngest in that family is at least 5. Yes, we are crazy! Crazy fun! LOL!

    As someone who has a family member with an inflammatory bowel disease, I find it very difficult to share a room with only 1 bathroom. Hopefully this means Shane’s disease is relatively controlled because otherwise, 1 bathroom is difficult.

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He’s in clinical remission!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Otherwise, I totally understand!

    • @prairiemakeup8453
      @prairiemakeup8453 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Marnie Goldberg That’s wonderful for Shane and I hope it continues, but I’m wondering why his dr won’t let him fly. How does flying affect his UC if he’s in remission? My loved one’s GI has never given him a flying restriction even when he’s been in remission. This baffles me.

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not that he won't let him fly, but one of the drugs he's still taking is an immuno-supressant, so it's best to limit flying or spending long periods of time breathing in recycled air.

    • @prairiemakeup8453
      @prairiemakeup8453 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Marnie Goldberg interesting. Having ppl on immunosuppressants for literally decades, we’ve never had a restriction, flights both to Europe and Asia included. Different GIs, different ideas.

    I've been watching a bunch of these Lost Pines trips this summer from bloggers and it looks like such a fun experience. I decided to contact them myself for the complimentary blogger nights and I'm so excited. I think I'm going to take my family in the fall when it cools off a bit! Looks like they really hooked you up!

    • @MsGoldgirl

    Good tips. I am sure we don't have anything quite as magical like Lost Pines in the Kansas City area. I guess the closest possibility would be somewhere in Colorado. You just have to suffer through that long boring 10+ hour drive through Western Kansas. I know I would prefer a relaxing vacation instead of a go, go, go type vacation next time.

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think there’s probably a few options in Missouri. Or Nw Arkansas?

    • @leslieprebyl6238
      @leslieprebyl6238 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had to chuckle when I read this from you. My family for years had a lake house at Holiday Island on Table Rock Lake. It didn't even cross my mind to think of that area. I guess I don't think of the Ozarks as having resort type places, other than golfing. I know that area has grown a lot from when we had our house. I am curious now, so I will have to check it out.

    Love resorts vacations! We have ordered food ahead of time from Gardengrocer when staying in Disney and works great. I know several people who have ordered from Amazon and the concierge had their box when they arrived. Always good to have options if you don't have a car. I agree about the extra bathing suit - things can take forever to dry out in hotel rooms. Looks like a great resort!

    If you want a tote that is durable and roomy you need a Longchamp Le Pliage large nylon tote! You should be able to fit a ton of stuff in it! I take mine on most all trips flying as well as driving!!!

    Sounds like you had a FANTASTIC getaway! There's nothing as sweet as family time! I had never even heard of Lost Pines, and we live in (North) Texas. Looks gorgeous! We just got back from Oregon and stayed at THE most wonderful resort called Eagle Crest. If you are ever in central Oregon, I would HIGHLY recommend it! AND its a golf course resort, perfect for the hubs! Its absolutely gorgeous! All sorts of activities, a spa, restaurants, pools, walking trails, wildlife, etc. GREAT FAMILY vacation!

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @alisonjordan303 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I cannot recommend Oregon ENOUGH! Absolutely one of THE most gorgeous states I've ever visited. I've never seen such diverse terrain in one state before. We saw everything from lava fields, sand dunes, hot springs, snow capped mountains, beaches, sea side cliffs, forests, farms, you name it, Oregon has it! Oregon exceeded my expectations for sure!

Thank you again for sharing your yearly vacation. I love watching your vacations as you share your beautiful days and allowing me to live through your lovely trips. You looked totally AWESOME in your bathing suit. Thank you for sharing your vacation-resort tips.

    When traveling in Alaska I seem to come with my own cooler. So difficult to be traveling and find gluten and soy free up here. That is what I miss about Arizona when I was there in June. It was so much easier to find restaurants that could cater to that specific type of eating requirement.
