I am a very smart traveler, and I share my travel secrets. I have had a knack for saving huge $'s and staying at the nicest hotels and resorts for pennies on the dollar.

I would stay at the Pearl again.  The Hilton seemed very nice and the Intercontinental as well, but I think for the price difference, you'd be happy at the Pearl.  The pearl also offers complimentary snorkeling gear and kayaks to rent.  The water and coral shelf around the Pearl made…

Another paradise: French Polynesia & Cook Islands 2007

Just a few random photos from along the way

Un rêve...

Wouldn’t it be nice to walk up to the ticket holder, hand over your boarding pass, briskly pass through customs and board your plane? And after the flight, wouldn’t it be nice to not wait for your luggage and not worry if it made it through the layover (leaving you with only the clothes on your…
