Splitsville

Hats off to the Marmara Manhattan hotel for one of the more innovative specials I've ever seen. They are offering the Suddenly Splitsville package to those that find themselves out on the street after the significant other found out...

Hawai'i Suite Life

Or more specifically, Maui. This was our first time on this particular island paradise, though we did visit Kauai last year, so that's two of the Hawaiian Islands down. We're trying to collect the set, it'll look nice on...

Hotels That Are Not Mike Friendly

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the new Ivy Hotel in San Diego is not an inn that is seeking me as a customer. I'm pretty sure I'm not cool enough. No, strike that,...

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!

Hands -- anyone else besides me really tired of this catch phrase from a movie I never saw, and probably never will? Whenever you mention Las Vegas, does someone trot this little bon mot out and do you have...

Thinking of Maui

After our first trip to Hawaii, earlier this year, we've been kind of interested in visiting again and checking out one of the other islands. We figured it might be a while before we were able to go again...

Oops! LHW Crashes the Intertubes

Well, the $19.28 per night promotion that Leading Hotels of the World was running crashed and burned, igniting a small orphanage across the street as well as an adjacent pet shop while flaming debris scorched a crowd of people who...

St. Regis San Francisco

This was our second visit to a St. Regis hotel. The first was in Aspen, in the very off-season. Although we enjoyed our stay at the St. Regis Aspen, I don't think we'd consider it one of our favorite...

Hyatt Deals

Universal Studios

On our last excursion to the exotic, mysterious environs of Central Florida, we decided to wander up north of our usual haunts around Walt Disney World and check out Universal Studios. We hadn't been there in quite some time...

Singapore

Of all the places we have visited on our Round the World trip, I think Singapore surprised us the most. Over the years, the things we've seen in the media about Singapore seemed to indicate that it's a small...

Japan

I had to rewrite this article after I lost the original in an unfortunate demonstration of both my inability to remember to back up files and Vista's inability to function adequately as a desktop operating system. I've had to...

Hotels Again

Homewood Suites, San Diego So to catch up on the hotels we've been staying in. The Homewood Suites San Diego Airport (Liberty Station) was pretty decent. For a quick overnight stay it has everything the business or leisure traveler...

Hawai'i Hotels

I wrote this artricle sometime ago and then what with one thing and another (we are travelling around the world after all) I forgot to post it up on the blog. So here it is, somewhat delayed. While in...

Hotel Choices

Mary has written another Frugal Hedonist article that I've included below. It's in response to a question we've heard and even asked ourselves from time to time. Why do we stay in one type of hotel as opposed to...

Hotels: Rancho Valencia

So for our two night stay in San Diego between the Disneyland excursion and the flight to Hawaii Mary got a nice deal at the Rancho Valencia resort in Rancho Santa Fe, just outside San Diego. Interestingly enough, this...

Hyatt Place

We recently tried the new Hyatt Place on an overnight trip up to Denver to catch a show. We've been hearing some buzz about this new Hyatt sub-brand and it seems like we've seen ads in just about every...

Round the World Redux or Part Two or Partie Deux - Your Choice

An update is in order. It looks like we're going to do this thing - this Round-the-World trip. After a couple of weeks of discussion or more accurately, conversations where Mary told me where we were going and I...
