Travel Channel

I want to like the Travel Channel, it seems like something I should like…considering. However I can never find any shows to watch! I’ve watched all the shows they’ve been airing since the early 2000’s. However the only new shows I see are typically food related.

#3) Keep your guest in the loop – Make sure to get discount rates for your guest on hotel rooms, rental car companies or anywhere your guest will be using services.

Do you fold, roll or compression pack when you travel? I really want to get into rolling but I just fold and layer.

Travel Movie Friday

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - I didn’t expect to like this movie as much as I did. And it just makes you want to take a few months and just go…somewhere

Taking a great travel photo to kick off Travel Photo Thursday

What makes a great travel photo? To me it’s a picture that takes you back to a moment simply by looking at it.

Favorite Hotels: Hotel 1000 - Seattle

Why is this hotel one of my favorites?

1.) Of course Location. The hotel is right between all the attractions! Doesn’t get better. Especially if you’re going to have to walk in the rain.

2.) The rooms. They are so relaxing you may not even go out and explore the city. The bathroom is amazing. The tub was my favorite part. And not because it filled from the ceiling but because it was a stand alone and set up with everything you’ll need to relax.

Travel Diet and Exercise

Traveling always throws a wrench in my diet and exercise plan.


Diet: The first test is at the airport. There are NO places that have good for you food. Some may have an apple, orange or banana for sale. Some will even have a fruit cup but it usually stops there. And the smell of fast food wafting down the terminal is very tempting.

My number one issue paying so much money for fruit when it will not satisfy my hunger long enough.

Exercise: The hardest part. Motivation. Its hard at home and harder on the road. I would say that I struggle because I don’t always stay at a hotel, let alone a hotel with a gym. That would only be half of the story. There have been plenty of times I’ve stayed at hotels with GREAT gyms and never took advantage of them.

My issue: Its hard enough at home and the space in my carry on is too precious to use it for items I won’t be using…like gym shoes and workout cloths.

Solution: Thanks to shows like The Biggest Loser and Thintervention which provide viewers with great tips that can easily cross over for travel.

I'm Back

If you follow me on twitter you know I made it to Boston, MA (Freedom Trail): Mt. Washington, New Hampshire (Drove it due to weather) and Portland, Maine(Great Lobster and tons of Lighthouses).

I now need to start unpacking and uploading photos.
