While not normally staying at more than one hotel on a city vacation, my visit to Dublin had me at three hotels and five rooms (yes, I know the math doesn’t work but I had to change rooms twice at one hotel). I started out at the very stylish boutique […]
On my first cruise, I would open up the door to my lower deck inside stateroom and just laugh. You think you know how small rooms will be when you read the brochure or view online but you never know until you open that door. With a cruise, the point […]
My sister began reciting all the rules over dinner, thankfully, I had a large glass of wine as my niece started to sound like a gremlin and not the adorable kid who went to see Frozen with me a few weeks ago, I didn’t know there would be rules for […]
The tweet from Accor Hotels said “retweet this to win a 2 night stay in Sydney”, well, who am I not to comply with a directive like that? So retweet I did as it was easy enough to do – no forms to complete, no log in or granting access […]

With only a few hours of sleep after my overnight Philly to London flight, I was at brunch trying to get on London time. While waiting for my food, my eyes scanned the crowded restaurant as the rain steadily fell outside. With a good mix of couples, families and girlfriends, […]

Boston is a city rich with history, teeming with colleges (and college students) and organized by neighborhoods in Boston. With the Charles River, multiple green spaces throughout the city and a collection of cultures interwoven, the city offers the visitor a plethora of options to explore and discover. For me, […]
When traveling, I often take a “spa day” to relax and recharge but rarely use the hotel spa (usually too expensive) choosing instead to go to a local spa for a massage. Having arrived in Capetown at The Westin in need of a facial, due to a reaction of sunscreen […]
