Bargain Airline Tickets From Santa
Airline tickets: if you’re like me, shopping around for the best airfares is not your favorite thing to do. I mean, could it be more confusing? You have to research a zillion carriers, times of day, days of the week, seasons of the year, and – now – even specific seats within the plane. Seriously, […]
Vincennes – Live Like a Local in Paris
Vincennes – a community in the eastern suburbs of Paris – is home to Pascale Heuzé. I first introduced you to this lovely lady when I wrote about learning vacations a while back. Now she wants you to know about her hometown: the reasons to visit and why you might like to make Vincennes your base […]
Renting a Private Jet
Until recently, I thought that renting a private jet was 1) only something corporate execs did and 2) limited to domestic destinations. And then I met a private flight attendant who had just returned from an African safari. “We flew from New York to Kenya with a wonderful family,” she told me. “The plan was that […]

The San Diego Travel and Adventure Show will take place at the San Diego Convention Center on March 29 and 30, 2014.

Luxury Safari – The Bargain of a Lifetime
Robert Kenyon contributed this guest post. A luxury safari is a bargain when you consider the destination and crunch the numbers. How many times will you visit Africa to witness wildlife? Once? Twice perhaps? Given this, shouldn’t your safari be full of great memories that can be rekindled again and again? Spread the cost of […]
Can I buy you a drink in La Jolla?
Kimpton’s Hotel La Jolla has a great little lounge on the garden level near the swimming pool. Guests enjoy a cozy fire that takes the chill off the night air and the sound of palm trees swaying overhead. I live nearby and walk past “Hiatus” a couple of time a week. Can I buy you […]
Wonderful La Jolla Getaway Gets More Wonderful !
I’m excited to share with you that the “Wonderful La Jolla Getaway” we announced last week has attracted a lot of attention. In fact, two very cool local businesses have asked to be included. Surf Diva, the lengendary surf school in La Jolla Shores, has added a surf lesson for two people to the winner’s prize. Now […]

I want you to know about the SATW online auction taking place from now until December 30. This is a terrific opportunity for you to bid on travel bargains – and I mean real bargains. SATW is the Society of American Travel Writers, “Travel’s Most Trusted Voices.” I’ve been a member for longer than […]
Emirates Airfare Deal – Book by July 5
Saying that Emirates Airline is offering a great airfare deal is like saying Neiman Marcus is having a sale. Yes, the price of the designer gown is marked down, but….well you know what I mean. Having said that, we flew Emirates Airline from Los Angeles to Dubai and in my notes (travel writers are compulsive […]

Vietnam Luxury Hotels and Resorts
Vietnam luxury hotels, resorts, and villas are some of the best in the world. In my last post, I profiled some of my favorite accommodations. Here are three more wonderful places to stay, including a tropical beach resort, an exotic island retreat with a great spa, and an historic hotel that feels more French than Vietnamese: […]
India – Trade Deals & Top Hotels
I felt very smug this week when President Obama, traveling in India, announced that the U.S. would soon begin trading more with this South Asian nation. Trade deals with India are not new to me. I’ve been making them for years. In fact, each time I’m in Delhi I acquire so many “bargains” that I […]
Airport/Cruise Port Stay-Park-Shuttle Deals
I’ve already touted the advantages of hotels that are actually at airports when you have an early-morning flight, but I also want to suggest that if you have a car, the wisest solution may be to drive to a hotel near the airport, leave your car, and take their shuttle to the terminal. ParkSleepFly, Stay123, […]
Best Italian Restaurant in India
One of the great joys of Authentic Luxury Travel is wandering off the beaten path and discovering hidden gems. Actually, I have to confess I didn’t really discover Diva, the best Italian restaurant in India. A friend in London told me about this jewel in Delhi – but if I hadn’t been traveling independently, I […]
