Renting a car seemed like the best option. Searching for RatesI first checked out Hertz.com for rental rates there. I… Continue reading April 2019: Los Cabos Planning – Car Rental
This was going to be a short stay for us. It would only be 4 nights and 5 days. We wouldn't be able to get the 5th night free if we used Marriott points.

As it got to be about a… Continue reading April 2019: Los Cabos Planning – Flights
We had figured out at the end of summer 2018 that we were headed to Dubai for February vacation, but we hadn't settled on a destination for April vacation.

Waking up for the last time in London on this trip was sad. We had so much fun and had done so much of our list, despite my dad being under the weather for a few of those days. We were thinking of trying to do something in the morning before we checked out, but… Continue reading April 2018: London Diary – Day 10
It was our last full day in London and breakfast in the lounge was as tasty as always, though this one was highlighted by another guest putting a croissant in the toaster surrounded by signs informing people not do to that in several languages.
