Rome in a Day – A Quick Roman Holiday!
I’m never one to advocate speed runs of a destination, particularly if it’s your first time, but sometimes you really don’t have any other choice. Maybe it was a last minute addition or you’re touring around and only have so much time to spend in a given place – whatever the reason, you still want to get a sample of what a locale has to offer. I would never advise rushing through a city as steeped in history and good times as Rome, but you’d also be crazy to skip it altogether!

With this in mind though, it’s not all sunshine and sparkles when…

Things You Shouldn’t Wear Flying – Part 2
I noticed that as I started writing the first one that I had WAAAY too much to say for just one post, so I divided it into two! More than likely this will follow with a third and possibly a fourth because…. uhh.. I’m observant? Maybe I’m not the best person to give an open forum like a blog to:p Anyone who has flown before knows that there are two distinct parts of the flying experience: 1. Waiting to get on the plane 2.

Is There a Benefit to Having Internet Access in Your Hotel Room?
It’s hard to imagine what travel was like before the internet. From the planning and research stages to the booking of accommodations and flights, the internet has drastically altered the travel industry and made it a much more personal experience than it previously was. Where before you would have to book everything in advance with a third party, like a travel agent, you can do it from the comfort of your own home in a secure and reliable setting. Even when you’re actually on your vacation, having access to the internet makes the whole experience much easier and more comfortable, taking much of the stress out of travel that was…
