Some of us here really enjoy tanning. Well, perhaps it's not so much the act of tanning that we enjoy -- but the glorious state of being tanned. Still, we don't usually care much for indoor pools because the chances of getting bronzed are greatly reduced when the only sunlight touching our skin comes to us via a little window ... but now that the seasons are a-changin' and our tans are a-fadin', we can get behind the opening of the super-sunny indoor pool at the Peninsula New York. ]]>
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tennesee might be known best as the home of Dollyworld, but it's Gatlinburg's Glenstone Lodge which holds the power in this area where gimmicks and indoor pools reign supreme.
The Smoky Moutains aren't exactly a luxury destination, and you can't expect mints on pillows in a region hotly anticipating the spring "Wildflower Pilgrimmage" and "An Evening with Jimbo Whaley." It's not secret that Gatlinburg's hotel offerings are outdated and still survive on depositing a sheaf of pamphlets in the entryway at the nearest IHOP. ]]>
