The holidays are coming ... where do you stay?

I went out of town several times but most of the times it's been to San Francisco. San Francisco seems to give this conservative energy and nature's people vibe, and it's true you can generally feel it, especially at the numerous green boutique hotels they have sprawling the city. But despite the fashionable and chic hotels they have, San Francisco isn't really the place for a family vacation. At least, it isn't a place for pandas to get together and find bamboo. That's for sure. And by the way ... this is a sponsored post. A good one though!


Enter The BALSAMS.


This New Hampshire hotel is one of those green and nature-caring hotels breaking free of its oil dependence and seeking the use of other alternative sources of energy. It would be a great place for Leiwei to stay at, considering The BALSAMS feature exquisite five-course dining, a famous breakfast buffet, the lush natural beauty of its surrounding mountains, tennis and golfing! Not to mention that with the holidays coming up and Winter just 'round the corner, it's an excellent place for pandas and humans to go skiing.


They have an alpine ski area with an on-site lodge and a modern snowmaking system that covers 80% of the 16 trails of varying difficulty available. Some areas are designated for family fun and they even have private and group lessons for skiing and snowboarding. And let me not forget to mention the beautiful green golf course they have - the famous 18-hole Panorama course. It has lush greens and trees, and offers an incredible panoramic view across the mountains and valleys into New York, Vermont, and Canada.


If only it had bamboo, The BALSAMS would be a panda's dream come true utopia. But if you're planning a getaway vacation for two or for the family, and if you're looking for an incredibly beautiful view of nature at its most natural best, then this hotel in New Hampshire would be the perfect choice for that spectacular vacation experience.
