Hotel Around Las Ramblas, Barcelona
One of the best locations in Barcelona! This hotel stays right on Ramblas and is steps from the airport shuttle bus. It is such a convenience! And the price is just right, midrange budget depending on season and availability. The location alone is a plus! It's a walking distance from the Ramblas, lots of restaurants and shops. If you happen to accommodate a room with a balcony, you might end up sitting in your room and watch the overlooking Ramblas strip to enjoy.
It is also the first stop for all HOHO bus routes which make it all the more convenient. Close to airport shuttle bus and to bus routes for a quick ride to the cruise port if you are in Barcelona to catch that cruise you have planned for months. Airport shuttle bus may cost around 6 Euro per person and cab ride cost 5-6 Euro to the cruise port.
Room Price includes a 24-hour buffet, not gourmet but it's good for a quick snack, or even a meal if you so choose. Buffet Breakfast is from 6AM – 12AM. Also included 24/7 are fountain sodas, beer, wine, coffee (including cappuccino, espresso, etc.), and soft serve ice cream.
The hotel has a boutique feel to it.
Like most European hotels, it is poorly soundproofed and the rooms are small.
The bathroom is very nice.
Most rooms have an outdoor veranda overlooking either Las Ramblas or the hotel's small courtyard.

Puerto Rico Is Recovering Well
Puerto Rico's tourism board has been giving regular updates
after hurricane Irma and Maria. The devastation was so bad but slowly, Puerto
Rico is recovering and how travel agents are helping.
Old San Juan is pretty much up and running since that is
where the tourism hub is. This is probably where they would be on a cruise stop,
indicating a few cruise ships recently made their stop. Thou some inland areas
might still be experiencing the aftermath but cruise stops is good news!
It’s almost a year since Puerto Rico was hit by devastation.
Each day, Puerto Rico is working on recovering well. San Juan looks great as most of
some areas of the island. Visitor center is still closed and you can’t get all
the way up, but you can go to the waterfall for some incredible views! The
window cave is amazing! Really, the island seems to be in good shape!!
I would like to believe that the island is in good shape but
will be open to the fact that there are areas that may take longer but not the
tourist area. There is still plenty to see and to enjoy in Puerto Rico.
A few hotels that are operating now and maybe more,
Condado Vanderbilt - One Of The Finest Resort Hotels In The
Caribbean
Experience the Caribbean with incredible ocean views &
unparalleled luxury with La Concha!
Hotel El Convento - Discover historic charm and elegance,
gorgeous rooms, outdoor pool, private beach, restaurants and meeting space at
our luxury Old San Juan.
Wyndham Grand Rio Mar is nice if travelers don’t want to be
in San Juan, offering luxury accommodations, and endless on-site and nearby
activities
Sheraton Resort and Casino, in the Heart of San Juan, just
Steps Away from the Marina.
Hyatt’s
Condado, Azul out by the airport
I was there back in January. There was plenty open back
then. We stayed at the San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino. It is
beautiful, on the beach and has lots of restaurants very close by.
The locals were saying they wanted tourists to come to help
the economy there. That being said, the tourist areas are fine because it is a
priority for them to get the area ready for tourist and eventually helps Puerto
Rico recover.

Travel Safe In Mexico And Foreign Country
Travel Safely In A Foreign Country
Traveling someplace and wonder about safety?
Sheila booked a Winter Break Vacations for next year. It is
exciting but at the same time concerned about traveling to Mexico because of
recent crime against tourists there. Is it really against tourist or is this over
publicized incident spoiling the pot of a dream vacation?
She asks a friend who did not even hear or read any recent
crime against tourists in Cancun, Riveria Maya, Cabo and that helps. Maybe it is
not that bad, she told herself. She won’t be traveling alone. A few friends are
coming along on this winter break vacation.
One thing that negative news is good at is it plants fear in
your mind. It is very easy to believe and feel scared when you hear something from the news, worst when something
bad happens in actuality from someone you know. We read about drug cartels or gangs in Mexico and they are still
there. It has been a struggle, fighting with them and they still exist in Mexico
where tourists come to enjoy the beauty of Mexico. It is sad but it is the
reality.
As of this writing, Mexico is currently at a Level 2 Travel Advisory, which has
been given as well to the UK, France, and Germany. What this should tell you is
that you should exercise the same amount of caution as when you travel to
California, New York or Texas. If you are from one of the countries mentioned,
then you know how much caution you need to be prepared for. Does it guarantee
your safety to understand the level of concern?
There are places in each of those states that you probably
shouldn’t walk around at night by yourself as a tourist. Walking around alone
is never a good idea especially when you are not familiar with the area. It does
kill the adventure of discovering something about the city but it is also a
fact that things are not the same in every locality. What is safe in one city
is not the same safety in another. It is best to walk with a group and do some
research to help you when a need arises.
It is a good idea to pay attention around you and to know where the exits
are like in the movie theater should something happen.
But I’d never caution anyone to not visit anywhere in the
state because of it. Be smart, travel with established tour groups and stay at
established, well-respected hotels and you’ll have a fantastic time!
If you read UK, New Zealand, and even Canada’s travel
warning for the US, it really opens your eyes to things and to think about
being safe when traveling. One that stood out in UK travel warnings is that it
says not to go to states with drug crimes that are on the rise like in Texas,
California, Arizona, New Mexico. Living here, we know; not everywhere in
California is going to be a drug crime, but if you are a foreigner reading
that, you will not want to go to California, Texas, Arizona or New Mexico. But
yet the Grand Canyon is in Arizona and San Diego is in California, not to
mention Disneyland, a very popular theme parks especially when traveling with
children. These are great tourist places for people to go to but if you do not
know what areas to go to then you will not visit these amazing places because
the fear generalizes the whole California or Arizona. Same with Mexico, yes
there is a crime but you need to be educated where to go.
Tourist places are safe. With the escorted group, you might feel
even safer. Tourist places do their best to make the place safe for business
reasons, helping their economy and a good source of livelihood for the
community people. The risk would be if you decide to go off the path for a solo
adventure, or be separated from the group for any reasons such as finding something
that caught your attention without informing your companion might be a bad idea. I know, you might want to be adventurous and having all the precautions kills the adventure.
But, being adventurous yourself is a good thing as long as you keep in mind to be aware of your surroundings, or at least let the group leader know and you must know when to stop exploring too far. It's best to stay with the group or at least check with the group every now and then. It also takes worry out from your group and that needs commom sense and trusting your gut, you know…
Better yet, if you went to Mexico with a group, stay and have fun together. After all, that is the goal, right? the tour guide will also be a good resource and help when you want to explore a little further. Guides have a better idea of the destination, especially the local guide.
Is it possible something bad will happen even if the destination is deemed safe? Yes! Anything can
happen no matter how safe the place is. These are unforeseen forces we do not
see nor think about. As always, keep in mind to expect the unexpected in all circumstances
so you face the situation with courage and with presence of mind.
Never let fear take control of your dream vacation because who really knows what is safe and not? You are the traveler, take control of your travel adventures with a common sense and a trust in your gut.

Basic Economy Fare
Basic Economy Tickets
Heard about plane tickets are getting cheaper nowadays. That
sounds music to someone who loves travel. But is it really worth the savings? Not
sure this is worth the savings? Paying less seems like one of those "You
get what you pay for" kind of deals. Basic economy can be horrible or
advantage to you. You have no control over picking your seats, you can’t take
any carry on and you get on the plane last. Is this something you would do when
heading to your vacation? Horrible for some but maybe not for those who wants
to save some bucks!
I tried it, and yes, it sucked. I got to the gates quickly (first)
and was lucky into good seats. Got on last but was able to carry on my bags. But,
hey, I would never do it again, it's too stressful! And how to share this
experience with my clients? Maybe let
them book it themselves…
When it was still in the works, I was seated back where it
was to be Basic Economy and I thought my seat was broken! It must be terrible
to sit on a broken seat the whole flight unless it is only for an hour but still…
Booking First class or Business class is way better than
that! You got to pay more to get what you used to when dreaming of a perfect
vacation!
Someone who scored a basic economy fare on American
Airlines from PHX to AUS for $50. That is way too good compared to $150! Will
you do it?
When I flew back home, it wasn't that bad. I would do it for
me but not for client unless they ask and take the risk of having unpleasant flight.
For those who like to choose their seat, they will not go for
it. That is one thing you can’t do with a basic economy fare. If you will be
happy to save $100 and sit where they let you then go for it! Some people let go
of their flight day when ask to be paid for a next day flight which happens to
a friend of mine. A whopping $400 to let someone else board on the scheduled
flight and him sleeping in a hotel to wait for next day flight. Not bad at all.
Or if you are someone who normally sleeps through flights,
it might be acceptable unless you need that window seat to lean on the wall or refusing
to sit between two people.
Whatever you think is comfortable for you, you decide
whether basic economy fare is for you or not. There’s always a first class or
business class available. In the end, you still get what you paid for!

When Traveling Take Some Of These Little Things
I know this do not sound good but it is better to be cautious when traveling. There was a honeymoon couple who stayed at Punta Cana and love it! They stayed for a week to have a fun and relaxing couple time. However, the groom returned home with Typhoid Fever! He is very young and very sick at the moment. Anyway, the doctor told them the Typhoid may have been passed by feces which means that most likely someone preparing food did not wash their hands.
Please know that some places we travel is behind, especially most islands in hygiene and people do get sick going there. It could happen during the vacation time or after getting back home to where you are most acclimated to.
The doctor suspects Lyme disease can happen from a mosquito bite while zip-lining since it is usually situated in a dense forest or water.
It is best to recommend vaccinations before traveling. Be prepared with little things you can think of to protect yourself like:
Sunscreen
Mosquito repellent,
Bedbug traps
Vitamins
Pepto Bismol
Granola bars, protein bars or trail mix.
Water purification tablets, or a water filter.
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Shampoo, Soap, Laundry detergent, and a few feet of rope to use as a
clothesline (among other things).
Enough hand sanitizer to sterilize a small village.
A universal rubber plug, for use in tubs and sinks.
A small, battery-operated fan
A sewing kit
Ziploc and plastic bags for protecting your electronics and
documents
Swiss Army pocket knife (remember to put it back in your
checked bag).
A waterproof container of matches, or a lighter (also to
remain in your checked bag).
A small roll of duct tape.
A luggage lock and coiling cable (preferably one for each of
your bags).
Keychain flashlight
A thin blanket or bed sheet just in case!
These are little things we take for granted which may save you from time to time when in a foreign land.
