To be honest, a weekend at Hilton Bentley South Beach in Miami is not how I thought I would use Citi Hilton Reserve Free Weekend. It’s certainly not the best way to use it—the best way would be adding a free weekend on top of another 5 days you would redeem at one of the… Continue Reading

Panama City and Beyond: Trip Report, Part Two
Please note: I am writing new 2015 editions of my Lazy Travelers Handbook Series, so it’s going to be a little crazy for me until the end of the year. I’m aiming at at least 3 new posts a week, but it doesn’t work out every time. Sorry about that. Here is my previous report: Panama City and Beyond:… Continue Reading
Panama City and Beyond: Trip Report, Part One
My aunt and I came to Panama City for a one-year anniversary of my cousin’s passing–so it wasn’t a fun trip. In addition, I caught a nasty bug, and couldn’t do anything for the first three days. However, we did a few tours with a help of a local tour agency that went above and beyond… Continue Reading
On Location TV and Movie Tour in Central Park: Review!
It’s funny how we often need a long journey while neglecting treasures we might have in our own backyards. Having lived in New York for the last 22 years, I have only visited Central Park a handful of times. We have our own Prospect Park here in Brooklyn, although it is no match to its… Continue Reading
My Cancun Tour of Xenotes: Photo Report
Disclosure: this was a free tour organized for TBEX bloggers by Xenotes Oasis Maya, the subdivision of Experiencias Xcaret. Another Disclosure: This Is a Really Long Post. You’ve been warned! Just so you know, I didn’t go to TBEX (Travel Blogger Exchange Conference) in Cancun to have fun. It was a business trip, you know. People call it… Continue Reading
Aloft Cancun Downtown Review (Cat 2: 3-4000 SPG Points)
Aloft is a visually striking and very distinctive brand in the SPG family; I would call it a younger and poorer cousin to their other brand W. It’s still hip, stylish, and youthful (I would use the word boyish, but that would be sexist 🙂 ). I’m sure a lot of people like the style and appreciate the… Continue Reading
Live from Cancun: Hot, Sticky, Noisy, and PRICEY!
It’s been a while since I flew on Spirit, and it didn’t disappoint. It brought me to Cancun an hour late due to some computer issues, but luckily, the problem occurred on the second leg from FLL. If it had happened to my New York flight, I wouldn’t have made it. The Big Front… Continue Reading
Manaus, Brazil Part 3. Amazon Tour Photo Report: Meeting of the Waters.
My previous Manaus reports are here: Manaus Brazil First Impressions Park Suites Manaus Review Since our time in Manaus was limited–we only had three full days and a game ticket–the logistics made us forgo a two-day Amazon adventure I was eying and settle for the easiest and most touristy boat trip we could get: The Meeting… Continue Reading
Manaus, Brazil Part 2: Park Suites Manaus
Previous Post: Manaus, Brazil. First Impressions: Photo Report, Part 1 Please note: Exchange rate was slightly better in Manaus than in Rio: ($1:R$2.26 vs. $1:R$2.20). At the end of my previous post I promised to talk about my impressions of Manaus as one of the 12 World Cup venues in Brazil. Having thought about it… Continue Reading
Manaus, Brazil. First Impressions: Photo Report, Part 1
Previous posts from Brazil: Brazil World Cup 2014: Rio Photo Review: Sheraton Rio Hotel and Resort We flew to Manaus from Rio on TAM on 06.16. Since TAM is a One World partner now, and since we managed to get a direct flight, I redeemed our seats for 7,500 Avios each. A great bargain… Continue Reading
