Most dream vacation spots require exotic locations with even more exotic names. One review of The Standard Miami and you will dream no further. Relax among chic, modern surroundings and dine on exquisite, nutritional food. Be aware, Miami is home to the beautiful people. Models per capita rivals New York yet these beauties are sensual and alluring. miamistandard.jpg

 
 

Tigers in Tennessee October 31, 2007

Filed under: Travel — Ivy Schnepp @ 9:16 pm

Earlier this year, I spent three weeks in Memphis, Tennessee. I saw Graceland. I visited Beale Street. I went to the casinos in Tunica. One place I did not know about, but I wish I had, is the Tiger Haven in Kingston, TN.

Just thirty miles west of Knoxville, the Tiger Haven is home to 275 Big Cats. The Haven is not a zoo and it is not open to the public but it is a sanctuary to a plethora of cats, ranging from circus retirees to rescued exotic cats.

The website provides a lot of information and photos. For $53 a year, you can adopt a cat of your choice. Included with the Adoption Package, once you select the cat you want to sponsor , you get a 8×10 photo of the cat and the biography of the cat.

I have already asked for the Adoption Package for Christmas, which my husband mistakenly thought meant I wanted another animal. “I just bought you a Yorkie.”

Visit www.tigerhaven.com to view the incredible facility and the Big Cats.
