Introducing Master Pages

I don’t know about you, but I hate having to dig for things on the internet.  While the Googley people love nothing more than to dig for treasure, I prefer to spend my screen time reading. I have a large trip coming up and want to be able to write about it without having to…

Starbucks Eggnog, Cadillac/AAdvantage Promotion, and Hyatt Diamond Challenge

I’m buried under a landslide of RFPs and other heavy paperwork at my office.  That means my creative writing skills here at Jetsetter’s Homestead are being funneled to project work rather than travel musings. I do have a few quick thoughts to share today…. I reported yesterday that Starbucks would limit their eggnog offerings to…

Hotel Status and New Master List of Hotel Reviews

No wonder my purse is always so heavy.  I pulled the last three weeks of room keys out of a side pocket this morning and realized I’ve got a lot more catching up to do! I don’t seem to be making any headway and I have another 3-4 stays in the next ten days.  But fear…

Hotel Reviews – Hyatt Regency San Francisco International Airport

This 5.5 hour overnight stay may officially qualify as my shortest hotel overnight that was not the result of A) a wild night on the town, B) irregular airline operations, or C) a stay in an international transit hotel.  In the case of either of the examples above, I’ve generally known and accepted that the hotel…

Hotel Reviews – Hyatt Place Reno-Tahoe International Airport

I love the feeling of checking into familiar chain hotels. I do not often get to check into luxury properties, so I have accepted what “my normal” looks like. And nothing screams “normal” to me like consistency. Consistency was exactly what I was looking for when I checked into the Hyatt Place Reno-Tahoe International Airport….

Should You Preregister for Loyalty Programs “Just in Case”?

I’m the queen of my routine. I domestically fly (almost exclusively) American Airlines, US Aurways, and Alaska Airlines. If I stay at a chain hotel, its going to be of the Hyatt, Starwood, Marriott, or Hilton persuasion. And if I cruise, its likely to be on Seabourn. Because of that, I haven’t been one to…

Hotel Reviews – Hyatt Regency Minneapolis

A recent stay at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis illustrated to me how a hotel renovation can turn a tired business space into a fresh brand vision. I’ve stayed at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis every couple of years for the last decade to attend an annual trade event that regularly rotates through various cities.  My last stay was…

Hotel Reviews – Hyatt Place West Palm Beach

I sometimes experience a strange sense of deja vu when checking into a chain hotel.  “Have I been here before?”, I wonder.  The Hyatt Place West Palm Beach is NOT one of those properties where this happens.  It won’t happen for anyone because it’s distinctive enough as a downtown-styled Hyatt Place property that it stands out…

Learning to Say “That’s Not Okay” – The Art of Complaining

I read a lot of travel message boards and blogs.  Its somewhat of a necessity when you travel regularly and need to be a content expert while doing so.  And as I do so, I’m sometimes surprised at how much people complain about little things.  But I’m working on my own skills with saying “that’s not…
