    4 Days in Los Cabos Mexico

    Picture this: you get a timeshare deal on your email with the words: 5 day 4 nights at the Westin Los Cabos for only $399. Would you go for this deal or would you think it’s too good to be true? We jumped at the chance, because why not? It was a good deal for a city that’s known for vacationing celebrities and multi-million dollar homes. If you want to skip the long blog, here’s a summary of what we did on our 4 days in Los Cabos. 4 Day Itinerary to Los Cabos (from the East Coast): Day 1: Arrive late at hotel after a few hours of flying…

    Journey To Chicago: What to Do in the Windy City

    Chicago What do you picture when you hear that word?

We visited Chicago for only two full days and a morning, so we only saw downtown Chicago, for the most part.  Still, we saw Chicago as it woke up in the morning and how it went to sleep (or didn’t go to sleep), how…

  • Tube Travel Pillow

    Tube Travel Pillow (Review)

    On a trip to New York City this February, we got a chance to try out the Tube travel pillow as we flew up and back. The premise was simple: it is a travel pillow that also doubles as a free additional personal item on the plane. Tube Travel Pillow (Review) Yeah, it’s a travel pillow, big deal, there’s plenty out there – so what makes it so special? Well, instead of fake stuffing inside the pillow, you actually stuff your clothes inside it, so you save on space and on baggage. We got an opportunity to review the product since it was owned by another Jacksonville local, and why…
