Sunny Las Vegas on a Budget

December 25, 2015 by Kurt JacobsonLeave a Comment

Las Vegas vacations don’t have to be expensive. For starters, airfare from BWI Airport runs just over $200 roundtrip and many other airports have similar deals. On many trips to Vegas I have stayed at hotels on and off the Strip; I highly recommend Excalibur to those that want an affordable on-strip hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and good sized for a fraction of what you would pay other on-strip hotels. Last time I paid just $54.80 per … [Read more...]

October 10, 2015 by Dave3 Comments

Holland America Line recently reached out to me to join them on their first Caribbean cruise of the season.

That will change after this trip as I am taking much of October to explore some additional islands with my brother who is flying in from Verona Italy (where he lives). I went on a River Cruise in Europe earlier this year but this will … [Read more...]

But there are plenty of other things to see and experience in Cambodia.  There is so much more to this beautiful country. While Angkor Wat should be on your checklist of must-see places, let’s get off the main tourist track and take a look at 10 other amazing sites. This country has … [Read more...]

Casino culture can be extremely different from place to place and if you're one of the many people who enjoys gambling as a regular part of their travels, then you'll need to be aware of how the rules change from standard American casinos to those in other parts of the world.

These three Sierra Nevada locations, easily reached from the San Francisco Bay Area and many other places in Northern California and Nevada, can be enjoyed as individual destinations or an itinerary trio.
