      "Destinations by Denise" is a newsletter distributed to over 5,000 recipients via email, including the latest news on events, wine, travel, resorts, spas and other travel related articles.   Many people enjoy keeping up to date with some cool, local events and destinations for a quick romantic weekend getaway, or just spend quality time with friends and family...(The Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica offers a unique, local nightlife destination, ocean view rooms and an outstanding penthouse lounge with full ocean view!)

       Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share with you some of my personal experiences that have added to the quality of life!  Live, Love and Laugh often...and Enjoy the Beauty of the Season.
