    Luxury Romantic Getaway – International House, New Orleans

    Monday, August 20th, 2007

    We were all set to show you this package from New Orleans’ International House, when lo and behold their website totally vanished. We’re not sure why – it was up and running last week when we dug up this deal – but this package has to be one of the strangest promotions we’ve ever seen. For that reason alone, we thought we’d still share it with you: for those of you looking to inject some romance back into your post-child relationship, this may be just the ticket.

    Memorial Day Travel for the Procrastinator

    Friday, May 4th, 2007

    Trying to make last minute Memorial Day plans? Good – then it’s not just us. We kept thinking “Gee, we should do something for Memorial Day”, but somehow the thought never translated into action. Now here it is, just 3 weekends away – and we have no plans. Which is, to us, absolutely unacceptable. So, as usual, we started looking to see what could possibly still be out there for people like us, and here’s a sampling of what we found:

    Hawaii
    The LA Times recommends trips to Oahu for Angelenos: needless to say, the beach is always a big draw for children. The Sheraton Moana Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian (also a Sheraton property) are offering reduced rates for Memorial Day weekend: $239 for a double that’s normally $380 at the Surfrider, and $269 for a double at the Royal Hawaiian, down from $445. The Keiki Aloha Program is available to guests of both hotels, where kids 5-12 are treated to a daily itinerary of fun. (While the Times recommends booking via Expedia to get deeper discounts for booking air and hotel together, we’ve found that this is not always the case. Do your homework to be sure of getting the best rates overall.)
