Guest Post: The jewel Of Northern Italy: Lake Como
Today's guest post comes to us from Shane Mcc from NationalRVParks. Doesn't this make you want to visit Italy?
Any trip to Northern Italy should include a visit to Lake Como. It is a popular tourist destination because of its fresh air, water, mountains and great weather. This lake is so beautiful that many celebrities like George Clooney, Madonna, Sylvester Stallone and Gianni Versace have purchased property there. It has also served as the setting for movies including the Stars...

The Corner Office 12.28.11
The corner office has long been the dream of executives everywhere. Why? Because it is bigger and has twice as much "view". What does this have to do with travel? Well, if you book in advance to stay in a hotel, you too could live the corner "office" fantasy.
Replace the word 'office' with the word 'room' and you have the holy grail of hotel rooms. The corner room offers a better value for your money, because you pay the same price as the other similar rooms in the building, but...

Happy Holidays (in pictures)
Happy Holidays to everyone. I thought I'd take a moment to share some Christmas photos from various places.
Our neighborhood tree
Streets of London all dolled up
Cinderella's winter castle
Santa's house at Disneyland
It's a "small world" Christmas
The Grinch is pretty happy here at Universal Hollywood
Our office tree, now that you can see it without all the food donations.
Our tree at home
Whatever you celebrate, I hope...

Experience Spanish Island Life in Mallorca 12.24.11
Merry
Christmas
Eve
to
all
who
celebrate!
Spain has long been on my travel wish list, and in recent months I've been learning more and more about the island of Mallorca (or Majorca) from some of my favorite blogs, including Glampacker. With winter in full swing, I'm also thinking about warm and inviting destinations where one could get away from the chill. If you plan a visit to Spain, you can easily hop over to this Balearic Island. You have probably only heard of the party island of...

Getting Your Vacation Beauty Sleep 12.21.11
Happy Hanukkah to those of you that celebrate!
Are you stressing out about the holidays? Well, then less talk about how to relax and decompress with sleep. When traveling, you are probably getting way more exercise than normal, which is great, but can also tire you out faster, because you are go-go-go and eventually that "check out this awesome thing!" adrenaline rush is going to fade. You're going to want to recharge your batteries by getting a good 40 winks. Or more. More is always...

Pretty much everyone hates airport security and those that don't hate it are like me and tolerate it, because if you don't go through it, you don't get to go anywhere fun.

For so many people Christmas has just become a time of stress and debt. With so much to do and so mant presents to buy it is easy to lose track of the meaning of the season and just become a scrooge. This season why not try something different so that you and your family can rediscover the spirit of the season and create...

So, I know people have the hatred for airport security and limits on liquids and that "stupid" 3-1-1 bag they make you cram all your stuff into. You're paying $200+ for an airline ticket and you still aren't free to bring anything and everything you want? Lame! I know it can be a pain, but I have also come to think of TSA rules as a blessing in disguise…and a fun...
