February 23, 2009 in California Hotels, Events, Family Travel, Holidays, Spring Break Vacations by Steven
Looking over last Friday’s piece on Spring Break in San Diego, we realized there was one part of the San Diego family Spring Break scene that we managed to miss completely: cruising. Along with Seattle, Galveston and Miami, San Diego is one of the biggest leisure cruise ports in the country, and every March cruisers [...]

It’s not too late! New Orleans Mardi Gras is only twelve days away, and believe it or not you can still find quality reservations in town, but I assure you this will not be true by Monday.

February 6, 2009 in New York Hotels by Steven
As I thumbed through the virtual news, specifically USAToday.com, I stumbled across an article that really hit home for us at USA Travel Guide. The headline reads, “As hotels struggle for business, some guests find an upside.” It’s no lie: during times of economic downtown, the travel industry is especially vulnerable. Businesses start turning conferences into [...]

February 6, 2009 in Events, Holidays, New Jersey Hotels, New York Hotels by Steven
I know, I know, I’ve neglected one very important Valentine’s Day vacation destination: New York City.

Okay, I know I said I was done, and at the time, I meant it. But the truth is, I had wanted to feature a Wilmington, North Carolina property since I’d conceived of the piece and just couldn’t find one I liked with a good package. Why Wilmington?

January 23, 2009 in California Hotels, Events, Florida Hotels, Holidays, Washington D.C. Hotels by Steven
Just four or five more Valentine’s Day packages for you and after that you’re on your own. This isn’t my scene anyways. I’m the events and attractions guy. I don’t do packages. Hilton Singer Island Resort If I had an ounce of foresight I would have arranged all of these beachfront properties into a post of their [...]
