This happened today and I’m still in shock. We’re a family of five and booked a Marriott run resort in Kauai for late December through Orbitz/Vrbo, something we’ve done many times before without issues. We never got check in info, so I messaged the host two days before the trip....

I’ve stayed at a couple of all-inclusives, and while they’re definitely convenient, I can see how they create a bubble that brings out some cringe-worthy habits. Buffets piled sky-high, people showing off their wristbands like trophies, and that never-ending race to see who can...

Ever Tried the Freezer Coin Hack Before Vacation? It Actually Works yahoo.com

I just started doing this super simple coin trick before trips and honestly, it’s been a game-changer for peace of mind. You freeze a cup of water, place a coin on top, and leave it in the freezer while you’re away. If the coin’s still on top when you return, all is well. But if...
