I've never been but did a lot of research for my upcoming honeymoon. Bitter End appears to be not so much of a resort as a great place to go if you are a sailor or into boating. Sailors I've spoken too who have been rave about it and the quality of the marina services and especially the sailing scho...

I agree last nights show was the best in a while. Great set list, great crowd , the premier of the red sox video segment and, after 12 years, I FINALLY made the jumbotron!!!

This morning I'm moving a little slow, but already looking forward to next year!

Memorial day starts the summer season so I wouldn't come if you don't have reservations. Even though the weather around here has been HORRIBLE (the weekend forcast is slightly better) i'd expect huge crowds and traffic jams getting over the bridges and onto the cape. There are some really good bike ...

I've stayed in several B+B's in Key West and hands down the best is the Nassau house. Check out their web site or the guest reviews on Trip advisor. The trip reviews sound like they are written by the owners but honest to god the place is as good as everyone says! http://www.nassauhouse.com/ (there'...

Being from New England, I watched my fair share of sports shows, listened to my share of sports radio and talked to friends who went down this year. I'll preface my comment by saying I've never been to Jacksonville and am not at all familiar with the city other than what I've learned the past week. ...

I'd hit the US and/or Virgin Islands. I'd rent a villa/house for 5 days on St. John and one on Tortola or Virgin Gorda for another 5 days. June is low season so accomodations should set you back around 2000. Figure another 1000 for airfare and you have 2000 left for food, booze and fun. That may be ...

Vegas Bachelor Party

Several friends and I are going to Vegas the end of April for a 4 day weekend. Only two of us have been before and nobody considers themselves an expert. Based on our budget, we've narrowed the hotel down to the Luxor or Treasure Island but aren't sure which one is better. Any advice on which hotel ...

I've been to both of the Patriot's superbowls and will HOPEFULLY be going again this year. The first year was by far the cheapest--we ended up paying $600 for a $400 ticket because it was after 9/11 and not a lot of people were back to traveling. We bought the tickets through a broker before we left...

I just booked my honeymoon trip for July last week , so I've done all the research for you! If you are looking for a nice all inclusive, look at Galley Bay on Antigua or Palm island in the grenadines. Both are upper end all inclusives.

If you're kids are young, it is VERY much worth the extra money to stay on the monorail line. As soon as they start to melt down (and they WILL melt down) you can be back at the hotel in 10 min from magic kindom and 20 min from Epcot. My son is 12 and last year we left the monorail line and stayed a...

To date the best all around beach I've been to is Grace Bay Beach in the Turks and Caico's. It's wide, the sand is blindingly white and the water is crystal clear. It's by no means croweded, the closest people were often 15-25 yards away, but it isn't secluded either. All the main hotels are on the ...

Vieques Island

Has anyone ever heard of this place or better yet been there? I've been doing a ton of research for a honeymoon spot and this seems to be the perfect island. It's 61 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico (about 1/2 way between puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) and from what I can tell really hasn't b...

Tipping.

Does anyone know if it is appropriate to tip airline flight attendants? I'm not thinking about coffee tea or coke, but rather if they serve you one of the new cocktails some airlines are featuring. In my mind you should because they are acting as your bartender and mixing your drink for you at your ...
