The La Costa story started in The1963, when Las Vegas real estate developer Merv Adelson discovered the area during a horseback ride through the coastal foothills north of San Diego. Adelson looked down upon the empty valley and a vision of a resort and spa appeared to him.

Adelson worked with partners to open La Costa in 1965 as the nation’s first destination spa. The resort featured golf and tennis, catnip to its celebrity clientele like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Bob Hope.

The original 72-par, 7,200-yard golf course covered 215 acres. It hosted the CBS Golf Classic, with players including Sam Snead, Ray Floyd, Arnold Palmer, Bobby Nichols, and Jack Nicklaus. The Tournament of Champions had a 30-year run featuring the greatest golfers of the era, from Nicklaus to Tiger Woods. In 2024 a revamped North Course was completed, that hosts the NCAA Championships through 2028.

Tennis was a draw for stars like Charlton Heston, Johnny Carson and Desi Arnaz, while The Spa provided relaxation for powerful people from Richard Nixon to Jackie Kennedy.

But as Shakespeare put it in The Tempest, “what’s past is prologue.” Perhaps this summer you can make a little family history at La Costa.

Discover the Joys of Classic Cruise Traditions with MWR LIFE

Collecting Rubber Ducks:
Adding a playful twist to your family cruise, collecting rubber ducks has become a fun, modern tradition. This activity creates delightful memories and brings families together as they hunt for charming ducks around the ship.

Unforgettable Experiences on Modern Ships:
Though skydiving simulators and gourmet dining are popular features, some of the most treasured memories stem from timeless cruise traditions. These simple yet meaningful customs help connect passengers to the unique culture of life at sea—regardless of the ship size or age of travelers.

The Sailaway Party:
Your adventure kicks off almost immediately after departure. As the ship pulls away from port, guests gather on deck for the energetic Sailaway Party. It’s a celebration — part farewell, part welcome — filled with live music, dancing, and cheers.

Guests often wave to onshore crowds or toast the journey ahead. Cruise staff may lead dance routines, adding to the lively atmosphere. Just a quick tip: staff will circulate with sparkling wine or signature cocktails. These drinks might seem free, but they are usually charged to your onboard account—unless you have a beverage package.

In the excitement, it’s easy to accept a drink without thinking—so double-check to avoid surprises later.

Formal Night:
Even in today’s more relaxed dress code environment, Formal Night remains a signature event. Many guests enjoy dressing up for this elegant tradition, making it a highlight of the cruise experience.

Ready for your perfect cruise? Book your tickets now with MWR LIFE and reserve your favorite spots. Don’t miss out—secure your place today and make memories that will last a lifetime!

Make Your Cruise Memorable with Formal Nights and Personal Touches

Formal Nights:
Formal nights are a perfect chance to take special photos and enjoy the glamorous side of cruising. Usually held once or twice per cruise, these evenings invite dresses, suits, or even tuxedos. Guests often pose for professional photos, then head to dinner and entertainment.

Some cruise lines have relaxed this tradition. They may offer gala nights or a “dress to impress” theme instead of strict dress codes.

Cunard is a notable exception, maintaining a traditional atmosphere. They require smart attire every evening, with black tie and elegant outfits on formal nights.

Tip: Check your cruise line’s dress code before packing. Whether you go all out or just dress up slightly, formal night is a fun way to embrace cruise glamour.

Not into formal wear? No worries! Many cruises offer alternatives, like buffet meals or room service, for those who prefer a more casual evening.

Decorate Your Cabin Door with Magnets
Most cruise ship doors are metal, making them perfect for magnetic decorations.

Guests often add personalized or themed magnets to find their room easily or show off their hobbies, hometown, or interests.

In the U.S., magnetic door decorations are especially popular, adding a festive and personal touch to your space.

Quick tip: Not all cruise ships have metal doors, so research before investing in custom magnets.

Towel Animals on Your Bed
An adorable cruise tradition — leaving towel animals on your bed after dinner.

These creative and cute decorations turn a simple cabin visit into a delightful surprise. It’s an easy way to add fun and personality to your cruise experience.

Ready for the perfect cruise adventure? Book now with MWR LIFE, reserve your favorite spots, and enhance your journey with unforgettable memories!

Surprise and Delight with Towel Animals and the Cruise Duck Hunt

Towel Animals:
Your housekeeping team may surprise you with a towel animal — playful shapes like swans, elephants, or even monkeys hanging from hangers. These little whimsical creations are often made by your cabin steward as a thank-you for being friendly during the day.

A smile and kind words can make a big difference — it encourages this nice gesture. While not guaranteed, towel animals are a charming expression of hospitality from hardworking housekeeping staff.

Some cruise lines even host towel-folding workshops, where you can learn to make your own creative shapes. Keep an eye on your daily schedule—you might just pick up a new fun skill.

The Global Cruise Duck Hunt:
A recent trend that’s become popular on ships is the Cruise Duck Hunt. Thanks to social media, passengers of all ages are joining in the light-hearted fun.

The idea is simple: hide small rubber ducks around the ship for others to find. Many ducks are tagged with the hider’s name, ship info, or social media link. Some are left anonymously, placed in creative spots just to spread joy.

Facebook groups and cruise forums love sharing photos of their finds and tracking ducks from ship to ship. For families, it becomes an unexpected highlight of the trip.

It’s strictly fun—a perfect activity for kids and adults alike, creating smiles and lasting memories.

Ready for more cruise adventures? Book your trip now with MWR LIFE and reserve your favorite spots. Embrace the fun traditions and make your cruise truly unforgettable!

Tempo by Hilton Times Square has partnered with Book Club Bar to offer guests a trio of bestselling books and literary-inspired cocktails.

I stayed at Tempo by Hilton Times Square earlier this year, when they had the foresight to collaborate with Maybe Happy Ending, so I could score discount tickets to what turned out to be this year’s Tony award winner for Best Musical.

Although that promotion has long since expired, the perfectly-located hotel continues to keep its finger on the pulse of pop culture and is now offering a Reading and Relaxation package dedicated to book lovers (*raises hand*). Embracing the #BookTok trend and encouraging guests to read seems like a natural move for Tempo, Hilton’s wellness brand, so it makes sense that the hotel has partnered with Book Club Bar, the popular East Village bookstore/bar, to provide a thoughtfully curated collection of books as well as a trio of literary-inspired craft cocktails to go with them.

Reading and Relaxation at Tempo by Hilton Times Square

There’s nothing like curling up in a hotel bed with a good book.

Book selections will rotate every few months but right now, the three options include Wicked by Gregory Maguire, The Housemaid by Freida McFadden and In Tongues by Thomas Gratton. Your book of choice is accompanied by a bottle of red or white wine along with charcuterie and cheese, all delivered directly to your room.

Although I loved The Housemaid, which is such a page-turner, you may not want to leave your room, I think it would be such a unique experience to (re)read Wicked with the billboard for the show literally outside your floor to ceiling windows.

Rooms at Tempo by Hilton Times Square

Experience the iconic NYC skyline from Tempo by Hilton Times Square. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, your room feels spacious and offers stunning broadway views. When you draw the blackout curtains, enjoy restful sleep away from the bright city lights. If you prefer, choose a wellness room equipped with a yoga mat, resistance bands, and a Peloton bike—perfect for a workout with a view.

This hotel is an ideal spot for celebrating New Year’s Eve. With 31 special Ball Drop rooms, you get an exclusive, close-up view of the Times Square Ball as it descends—an unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss. Start planning now to welcome 2026 in style!

Book your stay at Tempo by Hilton Times Square and secure your favorite spot for the celebration. Don’t miss out—reserve your place for a magical New Year’s experience today!

Experience Highball, the perfect spot to get cozy and enjoy a delicious meal or a refreshing drink.

Located on the 11th floor, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and exuding a charming retro vibe, Highball is Tempo by Hilton Times Square’s main restaurant and lounge. It features creative cocktails inspired by the hotel’s current book themes:

• The “Twisted Estate”, crafted for The Housemaid, combines elderflower and lemon with black raspberry and bitters—reflecting the novel’s suspenseful twists.
• The “Necromancer” from Wicked uses absinthe, elderflower liqueur, and Lillet Blanc to create a bewitching, complex drink with a perfect balance of botanical elegance and boldness.
• The “Unspoken Truth” from In Tongues mixes rye whiskey, Campari, and demerara syrup—a rich, mysterious cocktail, ideal for slow sipping above the bustling Times Square.

If you prefer mocktails, Highball expertly recreates these cocktails into tasty non-alcoholic options.

During our stay, my husband and I had dinner at Highball and enjoyed one of the best burgers we’ve ever had. We were amazed! Served with Tater Tots and topped off with a shareable slice of Chef Kit’s Chocolate Crunch Cake, it was such a fantastic, unexpected meal.

We’re already planning a fall trip back to New York and can’t wait to see what new titles will be added to the Reading and Relaxation package at Tempo by Hilton Times Square. We’re ready to book and experience it all again!

Join us—reserve your seats now and enjoy the best of Times Square with a cozy meal or a signature cocktail!

Get Ready for Summer Adventures!

Outdoor gear can make or break your adventure. Whether you’re hiking, backpacking, or fastpacking, having the right equipment is essential for safety and comfort.

Prepare your gear now—dust off your hiking boots, set up your tent, and gather your hiking poles. Think about what items are must-haves versus nice-to-haves for your upcoming trips.

Key Gear for Your Outdoors Trip

Headlamp – Light the Way
A lightweight headlamp is a must-have, even if you don’t plan to hike at night. It’s as important as a First Aid kit for safety. Unexpected night hikes can be risky without proper lighting.
For a ** ultralight and powerful option**, try the Knog Bilby 400 Headlamp. Perfect for backpackers who prioritize weight without sacrificing speed.

Camp Comfort – Relax in Style
After a long day outdoors, sitting on the dirt gets old fast. Bring a compact, portable chair for ultimate comfort.
The Helinox Chair Zero is incredibly lightweight—just one pound—and packs down small. It’s award-winning, sturdy enough to support up to 265 pounds, and adds a touch of luxury to your camping experience.

Don’t miss out! Book your seats now with MWR LIFE and secure your favorite spots for your next outdoor adventure. Make your summer memorable—plan ahead and ensure you have all the essentials!

When backpacking for multiple days, lightweight gear is essential. It helps you stay comfortable and move easily during your adventure.

Protect Your Skin
Applying sunscreen to every exposed inch can be tedious. Instead, use a sun hoodie that provides easy protection. You can pull it up and over your ball cap to shield your face, neck, shoulders,, and arms from harmful UV rays.

Look for high-performance materials like Nuyarn Ultralight Merino. It’s ultralight, durable, and breathable—perfect for long, active days. A long-sleeved shirt made from quick-drying fabric is comfortable and can be worn for consecutive days.

Popular options include the Feathertop Ultralight Hooded Long Sleeve Tee from Le Bent and the Tern Ultralight Merino Wool Hoodie from Outdoor Vitals.

Stay protected, comfortable, and ready for your next outdoor journey!

Enhance Your Outdoor Experience with Essential Gear

Binoculars make wildlife viewing more enjoyable, especially for kids and families. They help you spot birds, deer, and other animals in the wild.

The Nocs Provisions Zero Tube is a great choice—compact, lightweight, and durable. It’s waterproof, fog proof, and impact resistant, making it perfect for outdoor adventures. Its slim design easily fits in your backpack without adding bulk or weight.

Stay Comfortable with a Breathable T-Shirt
Cotton isn’t ideal for hiking because it traps moisture. Instead, wear moisture-wicking fabric that dries fast and helps regulate your body temperature.

The ARTILECT Nuyarn Sprint Tee is lightweight, made from merino wool—a fast-drying, breathable, and durable material that’s soft on the skin. It’s perfect for summer hikes, whether you’re on a multi-day backpacking trip or a simple day hike. Bright colors can also boost your outdoor mood and add some style to your adventure.

Gear up for your next outing with the right tools and clothing, and make every moment in nature more enjoyable!

Gear Essentials for Your Outdoor Adventures

From backpacks to hiking boots and sun shirts, every item plays a vital role in your outdoor experience. Having the right gear makes your trip safer and more enjoyable.

Keep It Simple and Practical
For women, bathroom breaks in the woods can be tricky. You don’t want to be fully exposed every time nature calls. That’s where Gnara comes in.

Gnara creates smart pants, leggings, and shorts with a built-in zipper that opens wide enough for easy access. These are the perfect adventure pants, designed for convenience and comfort.

Choose from options like the Go There Pants, Go There Shorts, or Go Free 7/8 Leggings. They’re women-owned, operated, and built to meet your outdoor needs.
