    Turquoise Place: A kid-friendly hotel in Orange Beach, AL (Review)

    Traveling with kids is always challenging, so we look for hotels with kitchens whenever we travel. This helps us cater to our child who’s a picky eater and helps lower our travel costs by catering when we don’t feel like going out. On a recent trip to Orange Beach in Alabama, I’ve had a chance to stay at Turquoise Place, a condo-hotel, by Spectrum Resorts. Here’s a review of the property and why you should consider staying here for your trip to the Alabama Beaches. This post is part of our Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Alabama content. Here are a few more related posts: The Rooms at Turquoise Place…

    What’s it like on the longest flight in the world

    The longest flight in the world at 9535 miles (15345 km) is flown by Singapore Airlines. The flight is operated by an Airbus A350-900 ULR (Ultra Long Range). There are two routes: one flying from JFK Airport and another flying from Newark (EWR) Airport in New Jersey. Some people consider both as the longest flights in the world. Due to a technicality, the JFK to Singapore flight wins as the longest flight. The average flight time is around 19 hours, but the reservation usually exaggerates it to 19 hours and 30 minutes. Here’s what it’s like flying on the longest flight in the world. I also give tips on how…

    10 Productive Tips: What To Do On a Long-Haul Flight

    Long-haul flights don’t have to be too crazy boring or tedious. It’s an experience if you’re flying up front in first or business class. Here are some ideas on what to do on a long-haul flight to keep yourself busy. We’ll try to be productive so you won’t lose your mind or waste time while traveling. When you are in one seat for 6+ hours, you can’t go anywhere until you get to your final destination.  Many people may not find long-haul flights pleasant, but if you do it a lot, you get used to it. Flying to Europe from the US is long-haul, even though it’s only between 6-9…

    25+ Things to See and Do at Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco

    I won’t lie: Fisherman’s Wharf is very touristy. However, the vibrancy, the stores, and the number of things to see and do in the area make it a great spot to visit. If you want to see the famous California Sea Lions of Pier 39, this is the spot to go. If you want to go on a day trip to Alcatraz or Angel’s Island, the piers are a short walk away. Need to eat after your day trip? This is the closest spot to grab a meal. Here’s a list of things to see and do at Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco. A complete guide to the area, from someone…
