Hotel Review Huagra Corral Hostel Cotopaxi Ecuador
I knew I was splurging when I chose the Huagra Corral. My thought was that it would be better to stay on the ground of the Cotopaxi National Park, to enjoy the peace and solitude – after being in Quito – than to stay at the nearest town (Latacunga) and have to get taxis or Read the Rest…

Hotel Review Bellagio Las Vegas
I’ve just returned from my annual work conference in Las Vegas. As with last year, my husband and children joined me for part of my stay.

Kid Friendly Las Vegas
The Bellagio was my home for a long week this past August. Well, it was my home from 6am until late every evening where I was working at the Virtuoso Travel Mart conference, but thankfully (for my sanity) I was actually staying at the MGM Signature. Since I was working, my trip to Las Vegas Read the Rest…
Four Tips For Finding Vacation Rental Accommodation
I’m a huge fan of renting vacation properties directly from owners as an economical, affordable and sanity-preserving choice for family vacations.
