Kate Loweth, proudly crowned her family's "bringer of cheer," endured a relentless winter pouring holiday duties, weekly breast cancer chemo, and canceled globe-trotting trips to places like St. Maarten, Boston, and the Dolly Parton theme park Dollywood. Swapping snorkeling with sea turtles for a 30-minute drive to Santa Cruz, she booked a 'boutique' stint at West Cliff Inn, where her room could comfortably host a small party she resolutely didn't invite. Highlights included a rotating tiki bar umbrella drink, giant tubs perfect for existential soaks, and the pinnacle of casual sophistication: binge-watching 'Below Deck' from a king-size bed. Hooray for tiny victorious escapes!
