A friend and I had lunch this week at this relatively new Asian restaurant located at 88 Church Street in Burlington, where Paradise Burritos used to be.  It’s a basement restaurant just to the right of Bimini Bill’s hair salon.  This is a nice addition to the casual dining options on Church Street and a [...]

There’s a new attraction in town–that town being Las Vegas, NV.  I’m so excited.  I love free attractions in this town, and it’s been awhile since a new one has been introduced.  This one is going on my list of things to do next trip.  The Living Garden at Palazzo sounds like a cross between [...]

I’m a big believer in not reinventing the wheel, so without further ado:  Here is a list of cruises currently waiving their  singles supplements, courtesy of SmarterTravel.com.
Deals for Solo Travelers

One of the best ways to travel solo is to follow your taste buds.  Wine lovers travel to European or Napa Valley wineries.  Beer lovers go to. . .Philadelphia?  That’s right.  Philly Beer Week is coming up, and it’s looking like the most exciting event for beer lovers this side of Oktoberfest.  Visit Philadelphia from [...]

While some cities around the U.S. are whining about how bad they’ve been hit by the decline in travel and tourism (yeah, Las Vegas, I’m looking at you), Philadelphia is rising to the challenge with creativity and by showing its travelers a whole lotta love.  (And not just the brotherly kind.)
First they loved us up [...]

Every time I fly, I notice the little inconsiderate things that my fellow passengers do.  I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me.  We’re becoming an increasingly myopic society overall, so why shouldn’t that extend to air travel?  I know some people don’t care if their behavior negatively impacts other people, because they’re narcissists.  But I honestly [...]

Compassion never goes out of style.  I’ve always appreciated Jetblue’s True Blue membership program, because I have had to cancel trips in the past, and it was nice knowing I had up to a year to use the airfare credit instead of just being SOL.  But now, my favorite blue airline is going one step [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about Las Vegas, because I’m not in a Vegas trip-planning mode right now. But that doesn’t mean I don’t still keep an eye on news from my favorite vacation spot.  Aside from the fact that the hotel deals are amazing right now, and there’s a new hotel [...]

I was listening to an interesting podcast this week about Solo Touring at Disney World (Episode #523 posted at WDW Today) and was a little bothered by a couple of comments the guys made.  (The “guys” are podcasters Matt Hochberg, Mike Newell, Mike Scopa, and Len Testa.)  The first comment was about what resorts these [...]

There have been women-only tour companies and vacations for quite some time, but here’s a new one: Women-only floors at luxury hotels?  Wow. I just had a flashback to a summer camp I used to work at that had separate men’s and women’s dormitories.  Except it was anything but luxurious.
