I first heard about TVtrip.com when they launched last summer. The concept is to provide a hotel search engine that uses unbiased videos filmed by TVtrip. You check out the video, decide if you like the hotel, and then book. All for the TVtrip website.
Although the concept was interesting, there just weren’t enough hotels […]
As if getting to the airport isn’t tough enough, most of us have to figure out how to get from our destination airport to our hotel. And this is another time when some planning, and asking a few questions, can be a real savings.
Public transportation: I’m a big believe in public transportation. When at […]
I first visited the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino when it was in a soft opening in 1999. It’s an all-suite, Venice-themed hotel and casino, and like most things in Vegas, it is over-the-top.
A few current features of the Venetian include the art exhibit Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, gondola […]
Is it a nightclub? Or is it a pool? If you’re visiting the MGM Grand Las Vegas you’ll find both with its new Wet Republic!
Wet Republic is an adult-only 53,000 square foot water playground featuring lots of room and opportunity to swim, lounge and play. It’s a way of taking that hip Las Vegas […]
One more photo from my travels in Italy, this one along the water in Sorrento. I love the way these hotels and residences are carved into the sides of the hill, offering great views of the area.

Everyone needs a happy place, a place where they can close their eyes […]

Here’s a Guest Post from Jon Rochetti who writes The DC Traveler and recently visited Costa Rica.
Nestled in the rainforest of Costa Rica, a few hours from the capital, San Jose, The Lost Iguana Resort offers spectacular views of Arenal Volcano in a lush and tropical setting.
The beautiful 100-acre property, in La Fortuna, Costa […]
A Matchbook Monday from a little closer to my home, this week, with the Emerald Queen Casino.
The Emerald Queen is operated by the Puyallup Indian Tribe, and is one of the largest in the state. When the Emerald Queen originally opened in 1997 it was on an authentic paddlewheel riverboat (called the Emerald Queen) […]
Hello there Fly Away Cafe readers. I’m Jennifer.
Mary Jo nicely asked me to guest post while she’s away in Italy. I’d rather be in Italy. Wouldn’t you? I did accept because I love when people owe me favors - just kidding, actually I love to travel, and I love learning about other places; places far […]
