Sometimes it's just fun to pass along some interesting travel stories, quips and tidbits. Several news clips have been piling up on my desk - some amusing, some informative. From my favorite Cigar Lounge, I hope you find these interesting...
Pampered Pooch Program. The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay (near San Jose) invites guests to bring their dogs in June for complimentary treats. The resort’s Pampered Pooch Program provides the same luxuries that human guests experience. America's Rudest City: Travel + Leisure magazine has anointed Los Angeles as America's Rudest City beating out New York and Philadelphia. Want the whole "Rude 20"? Just ask me.
Traveling in Style! The Rocco Forte Savoy Hotel in Florence wants guests to enjoy a one way private transfer in a Mercedes E Class from/to Florence airport or Florence main train stations.
Best City for Walking: The Best City in the World for walking is Hong Kong. Budapest is #2, Paris is #3. Venice, Prague and Boston are high on the "strolling list" as well.
Best Place in the World for Fine Dining: The French Riviera has so many Michelin-starred restaurants that the company's guidebook now includes an inset map of the region .
Trip Advisor: Don't put all your faith in Trip Advisor and other similar forums. Many glowing reports are submitted by owners and managers of that resort - and poor reports are oftentimes posted by competing resorts.
Happy Traveling!
Dick
