I had the opportunity to check out the Montrose Colorado hotels website recently, when I was asked to give my opinion on it. Booking a hotel has gotten so, so much easier today. Years ago, it was a rather scary venture. You were never quite sure you we really getting the place you viewed online and the price you settled. I had heard numerous horror stories of folks having bad experiences. But those days are over! Still, you do have to do a little legwork. Some websites make it easier than others.

We ve done our share of traveling, yes. I m no hotel expert, because I am so very cautious about booking them. And the fact that we have a large family has always made if difficult to find suitable accommodations, especially when the kids were very young. Overall, we have had excellent success.

I tend to stay with a national, well-known chain when I travel, and that s why O do like the Days Inn-type places. The one in Montrose looks beautiful. We have dreamed about traveling ... Read more »

If ever there was a destination worthy of a winter getaway, then it’s Kepler-16b, “the land of two suns”.

The planet, discovered in 2015, is one of three exoplanets (planets that orbit a star other than our sun), depicted in a series of striking vintage-style travel posters produced by Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Created by the space agency’s visual strategists Joby Harris, David Delgado and Dan Goods, the posters feature art-deco typography, bold colours and classic design, evocative of the golden age of travel.

Kepler-186f was discovered last April and has the possibility of hosting life

Speaking to Newsweek. Delgado explained how they had felt inspired by the fact that so many new planets are being discovered; this week Nasa announced that its Kepler Space Telescope had made its 1,000th exoplanet discovery.

“It feels like we’re living in the future, or science fiction is coming to life,” he said. “We thought it would be really cool to ... Read more »

I was stressed about packing for an upcoming trip, especially with having to bring my laptop and several cameras and it occurred to me that since I won t be packing any electronics into my suitcase (it always gets stolen at the airport) I needed one bag that could hold these things without the fuss. On previous trips I always carried my laptop in a bag, had a regular bag, and also had a separate camera bag. Sometimes if I felt like consolidating it all I d get a big plastic shopping bag and throw them in on impulse Between searching for a passport, tickets, and wandering around airports and train stations I started to get paranoid that I had left my camera somewhere.

The motivation for making the bag wasn t only about needing something functional to carry all my important items but about having to confront the bleak travel bag section showcased at many stores (photo taken with iPhone) . There was nothing wrong with any of these bags, I mean they could easily fit all my elect ... Read more »

NASCAR is by far the country s biggest spectator sport, with crowds of 100,000 and more attending single events

With two of the biggest events in international sports being held this year the FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver travel agents are working overtime to snare tickets and accommodations for their sports-crazed clients. U.S. visitors make up the number-one market for both these events, outside of the host countries themselves, and agents are dealing with the challenges of sold-out room blocks, complicated schedules and the bureaucracy of purchasing event tickets through the host organizations and the operators they ve appointed.
