Pack Like a Pro 2.8.12
Ugh! Do you see the word packing and cringe? There are a lot of things about travel that can be annoying, but packing is one of my favorites. Of course, I know most people would be happy to have someone else do it for them. My husband doesn't mind so much, but then he really never has to pack anything. At most, I make him pick some outfits that he wants to take, then they are miraculously at our destination. Lucky! Who else wishes this was your situation? I can't personally come to each...

Romantic (and Reasonably Priced) Getaways 2.4.11
Feeling like a little escape might be a good thing right about now? Get some one-on-one time with the love of your life and also rack up some bonus points by giving a surprising and amazing gift for Valentine's Day. I'll let you in on a little secret: You don't have to plan your getaway for the weekend or the week of the 14th! You don't! Plan it for March or May or even September. The point is that you think of it and do all the legwork for it now. Take your better half out to a romantic...

The Ultimate in Valentine's Day Getaways 2.1.12
It's that time again: Valentine's Day is coming! I'm sure some of you are racking your brains still for things to buy your Sweetheart. If you had a plan and are totally prepared, why not start thinking about a romantic getaway later in the year or even as an anniversary, birthday or next Valentine's Day "Wow" vacation? I'm talking, of course, about the most romantic city in the world: Paris. While others may disagree with this title, I think more people than not still want to travel to span

Live and Learn: Cruising 1.28.12
Cruising always seems like something of a luxury vacation…or one that is frequently taken by seniors and college kids. When I went on my first cruise ( I do expect to go on others at some point in the future), I didn't really know what to expect. Cruising sounded boring to me, because we like to get up and go each day of our vacation. We were actually given the opportunity for a great deal, so we picked the most interesting sounded itinerary that would sail out of a convenient (read...

Let the Good Times Roll 1.25.11
Mardi Gras is coming up super fast here and it got me thinking about Fat Tuesday celebrations and shakin' what your mama gave you for some beads. It's all in good fun, but what to do when you aren't partying it up and watching parades? Believe it or not, there are loads of things to do in New Orleans when the light of day creeps through your hotel curtains and makes you reach for your shades.

Shereen Travels Cheap Wins an Award!
I know, lots of posts happening this week, but I couldn't wait to share with you the latest and greatest excitement at Shereen Travels Cheap. We won and award for best cover design in non-fiction. It's extra awesome, since three people who know very little about book publishing used their smarts to come up with this great cover that I'm super proud of. [Thanks to both Nancy Jennings and Mike Thompson for doing 90% of the work for it.]

Review: Skyroll Garment Bag
Tired of trying to get all your business or formal clothes to your destination wrinkle-free? Sad you had to give up your trusty garment bag because of the crazy baggage fees airlines charge? Wonder how you can bring more clothing, but still pack light? Need an intro to the clothes rolling packing technique? If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on:

Broadway Box for Affordable Show Tickets
Do you ever plan a trip to a place that is known for its high production shows, only to be disappointed when you go to book one and find the prices to be astronomical? I mean, how has $130 to waste per ticket on a vacation? Well, some people do and others try to build that cost into their travel savings, but seriously, if they are doing 6-10 shows per week and the place is packed, do they really need to charge so much? I suppose that's the number one thing you learn when it comes to supply...
