Travel Insurance: Is it Worth It?

I’ve read many posts about travel insurance, most of them sponsored by an insurance company. Most of the time I find myself nodding along; of course it sounds like a good idea. However, when I find myself buying plane tickets online, and they try to tack on the extra cost at the end, I get miffed and skip it (I’m a notorious cheapskate). Is travel … Continue reading Travel Insurance: Is it Worth It?

Escape to Las Vegas in the Winter

When people think of Vegas, they think of gambling, clubbing, and lounging by the pool. What if I told you there was plenty to do in Sin City when the pool is closed and without losing all of your money?

48 hours relaxing in Tijuana

The British have a very lovely word: “mini-break.” I suppose our U.S. counterpart term would be “getaway,” and that is just what I did with Doug and a couple of our friends—we got away from it all, in a whole other country, just 30 minutes away! We kept joking we could call it our #twodayvacay (saying “hashtag” aloud, of course). Where to Stay The One … Continue reading 48 hours relaxing in Tijuana

Your First Time Visiting Mexico City

The whole time I was planning my trip to Mexico City, my dad kept referring to it as “Old Mexico.” Is that more of a 60s/70s era thing to say? In any case, Mexico City, the sprawling second-largest city in the Western Hemisphere (8.8 mil residents), is really heating up as a vacation destination. It was a lovely place to visit last December and I … Continue reading Your First Time Visiting Mexico City
