One of them is having to worry about laundry, ironing and even matching my clothes so I don’t look ridiculous when I leave home.

It’s a Wrap – a Dead Sea Spa Experience to (almost) Die for
In my “normal” life, I tend to be the kind of guy who can’t stop doing stuff all day. I get very antsy if I don’t have something to entertain my mind for long periods of time. When I travel, though, I sometimes like the opposite of that. I do value my down time, and since I do my best to stay at somewhat luxurious properties, I always take a peek at the spa menu to see if there are any treatments on offer that can either help me relax...
How I Bought my Tesla with Gift Cards

Bullshit: No Airline Is Selling Manifests to Criminals
In light of the incredibly irresponsible post and later resharing of that post about the two British tourists attacked at gunpoint in Buenos Aires, I felt compelled to write this up to make things clear.

Did Hilton Representatives call us “retards?” That’s simply not OK
As a small blog in the travel related blogosphere, we are quite used to getting a few abusive, R rated comments every now and then whenever someone disagrees with our point of view. It comes with the job, and we’re OK with it. But in a first for us, someone from Hilton corporate just unleashed a barrage of insults on us. Last Christmas, we published a review of a hotel in which we were...
