vegasYou knew Vegas had to be on this list, right? Las Vegas is without a doubt one of the craziest places to spend New Years ever. I mean, this is the city that never sleeps anyway, this is the city known for partying twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty two weeks a year. We are talking 24/7/365 here, you know what I mean?

So, it goes without saying that New Years hits on Las Vegas like a party bomb. Think about all the casinos, bars, clubs, and hotels in the city — all of them are busting the seams and partying hard.

In addition to the neon lights, there are crazy fireworks displays — which you can see quite well, because the Strip generally gets closed. This means you can also join in some of those insane block parties.

tokyoAw yeah, takin’ it to Tokyo. Ladies and gents, this is an awesome place to spend New Years Even. It is, in fact, like absolutely nothing you have ever even dreamed of seeing before.

In fact, when you celebrate the holiday in Tokyo, you are in for an uber celebration, because the festivities begin on December 29 — and, if you want it to, they can go on until the fourth of January! That is right, January 4, not January 1. Talk about a party!

There are fireworks, there is dancing, there is singing in the streets — it is crazy. The clubs and the restaurants are all filled to the brim, it gets absolutely insane!

And on the first of January, you can take a visit to the Imperial Palace. What could be grander?

12.23.09 Surviving The Holidays — How To Travel This Christmas! 0

children.travelWhen you are traveling during the holidays, I know just how not only stressful it can be but also how nerve-wracking, especially if you are going somewhere that has a lot of snow.  Snow is something that can ruin everything and there are ways that you can survive the holidays and the traveling … and that is what we are going to talk about in this blog.

One of the first things that you need to do is make sure that you check your flight online before you leave for the airport.  That way you can make sure that your flight is going to be on time and you can even check into your flight, check your bags and make sure that you are all set as soon as you walk into the airport.

The next step is that if your flight is cancelled, you want to make sure that you contact the airline directly and figure out the best possible route.  I know that things can happen but the airline is responsible for you getting home and if your flight is cancelled, they have to put you on another flight.

12.22.09 Are You A Heavy Packer? Good News! 0

virgin america plane_0If you are anything like me, when you travel, you always over pack; which is terrible when you are going on a plane as they all have a weight limit of 50 pounds.  Well, I have some good news for us over packers and that is that in addition to Virgin America being one of the best planes in the world … they have a 70 pound weight limit!

That means that you can have a bag that weighs upwards of 70 pounds on the plane and while you might have to check it … you can still rest assured that your bag will be taken care of.  Another great thing about Virgin America is the fact that they are one of the only airlines that have free Wi-Fi in the plane!

To me … that is absolutely insane and I can tell you for sure that this particular airline is one of the best because of what they can offer.
