Getting there: From the airport to the resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
You’ve booked your trip. You are all ready to go to live it up at the resort. But now how are you even going to get there? If you book a trip through a travel agent, this will be easily handled. The agent should arrange ground transportation as part of your package. But if you…

The airport at Punta Cana is unnecessarily beautiful
Hi, this is the start of a quick travel series based on my recent trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Let’s start with the airport. I must say that as someone with limited international travel experience and one who is perhaps easily impressed, I found the Punta Cana International Airport to be especially…

Accessible vs inclusive: Two approaches to making money

I prefer to save Christmas for Christmas
It’s happening again, Christmas is trying to slyly sneak up. I am writing this on September 20. It is not even officially fall in the United States. And yet there is already peppermint mocha creamer in the store with snowflake adorned bottles. The freezer is full of Santa themed ice cream flavors. And when I…

Hotel review: Cambria, Manchester, CT
This is going to be a quick review of Cambria, a newer hotel in Manchester, Connecticut and part of Choice hotels. The property is located in the Evergreen Walk area.
