Just a little afternoon quickie–I found this article while I was researching my Vegas post from Wednesday. USA Today’s Travel Blogger discusses Caesar Entertainment’s plans to build a Ferris Wheel LARGER than the London Eye. Really? I guess there will need to be a 3rd sequel to the Hangover that will include Phil scaling the structure while being chased…

separates vs. packages– and the winner is?
Along time ago I figured out that travel keeps me sane. The excitement of looking forward to our next adventure makes my mundane days do-able. I frequently came home from a fantastic outing only to find myself down and lonely, rather than rejuvenated. It was awful. So for the last few years, D and I have made it…
10 on tuesday– i’m a thief.
Today on 10 on Tuesday, I couldn’t help but steal from http://www.independenttraveler.com, and share what I consider to be a brilliant list of the 10 most annoying habits from travelers. So, here it is, direct from the author himself, Ed Hewitt. (To see the article as published by travel on MSNBC, click here.) ______________________________________________…
planning equals perfection. well, kinda.
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. This post is dedictated to getting organized and back into the swing of things, whether you have a kiddo off to school today, are a teacher, or are dealing with the residual traffic associated with the first two. ____________________________________________ I had a comment on my…
tricks for flight deals.
Airplane travel has gotten really expensive over the last few years. A friend recently said to me, “remember when we flew to Denver on Continental for $100 round-trip during ski season? Man I miss those days!” Me, too… With the shifty economy and seemingly always rising fuel costs, how do you find good deals on…
i’m having wine with dinner.
Yes that’s right—in celebration of Julia Child’s 99th birthday, D and I will be participating in National “Drink Wine With Dinner” day. As if that is so difficult. Under normal circumstances you wouldn’t have to try very hard to get me to participate in this event and you especially won’t today! Seeing as our return…
turtle bay resort: oasis on north shore.
This is my last Hawaii post for the week, because frankly, I just can’t write about it anymore without potentially booking a flight to Oahu this weekend. ____________________________________________________________________________ Turtle Bay Resort. I happened upon this splendid establishment on accident. I’m not much for crowds and feeling like one of a million, so on our trip…
10 on tuesday– hawaiian style.
Introducing…. Inspired by my Mrs. Ordonez herself (who will be doing a guest blog for me later this week!!!), 10 on Tuesday will be a new staple to the Sunscreen Required Blog. Expect to find 10 tips every week on various places, companies, events, etc. around the globe. This week’s theme continues to revolve around Hawaii!…
dublin on my mind.
Every year, D and I try to travel for Thanksgiving. Packing our bags for Turkey Day started a few years back, but has become quite the time for us to travel. Not only because it’s a holiday, but mostly because in the world of working young professionals, you don’t get a ton of vacation time….
