13 Day Kaleidoscope of Morocco by weygehey  Pros: Picked up upon arrival at Casablanca airport.
Cons: None. Gate 1 has tours for small groups for those who prefer a smaller group. I traveled with Gate 1 to Morocco in April 2013. This was my third trip with them (I traveled with them on their 13 day Turkish Treasures and 11 day affordable Peru) and again they did not disappoint.I have taken trips with other tour ...

Strategic and Homey by ulysses4 Pros: Very good value; friendly and close by downtown.
Cons: The difference between homey and homely is in the eye of the beholder. Wexford is an artsy and interesting little seaside town well worth visiting. If you want to do so without spending a lot in the lodging category, this well established guest house is worth considering. With parking near the high street (South and North ...

Easing Into Ireland by ulysses4 Pros: Comfortable facility and setting with a congenial hostess.
Cons: Only practical for motorists. We wanted a quiet and charming place to stay our first two nights in Ireland. Glen Na Smole fully delivered. Of course, you have to be receptive to the B&B experience. Scarcely an hour's drive southeast of Dublin Airport, the town of Wicklow is ...

The Boma Nairobi: Has Potential, but definitely not a 5-star hotel! by reginafug Pros: Close to the airport. Rooms are large, well-appointed.
Cons: Expensive. Neighborhood not very nice. Many wrinkles to be ironed out. This is the first hotel with a “conscience” we have ever stayed in, as profits fund the Kenya Red Cross Society's Humanitarian activities. The majority of TripAdvisor reviews are extremely positive, so I was very curious about this hotel. I ...

Gate 1 far surpassed expectations by sun2seek Pros: Guide was Peru resident. Nothing replaces the passion and knowledge of someone who lives there.
Cons: For us, no cons. For those not liking group travel, that could be a con. In Feb. 2013 my husband and I took a long-awaited trip called "Affordable 10 day visit to Peru" with Gate 1 Tours. Machu Picchu was the highlight of the tour and the remainder of the time was spent sightseeing throughout Peru. This was our first trip ...

El Rey Ruins: See Mayan Ruins in Cancun's Hotel Zone by toiletoctopus Pros: Bargain Priced, Mayan History, Iguanas, Peaceful Place
Cons: Signs need work, Maps would be great, Not as impressive as larger Mayan areas While the El Rey Ruins are not nearly in the same category as Chichen Itza, they are a worthwhile place to visit if in Cancun. A lot of tourists sadly never leave the hotel zone while vacationing in this part of Mexico, and for a ...

The Wheatbaker: A Lovely Oasis in Crazy Lagos, Nigeria by reginafug Pros: A medium size hotel that offers comfortable and stylish accommodations. Safe and friendly.

La Quinta Inn & Suite, Albuquerque by pestyside Pros: Quiet, Comfortable, Clean, Affordable, Pet-friendly policy a plus
Cons: Needs restaurants closer and within walking distance Heading back to Texas from the canyon country of southern Utah pains my spirits every time and stretching the return out as long as possible is my usual strategy. After leaving Moab we headed south on Highway 191 eventually working our way to US 550 that ...

See Ariel, Eric, Ursula, Sebastian and Flounder "Under the Sea" at the Magic Kingdom. by chelledun Pros: Immersive queue area; impressive visuals; strong soundtrack.
Cons: Very abbreviated version of the story; remote FASTPASS location. Disney’s new Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction is kind of a big deal. This Fantasyland dark ride has been under construction for what seems like forever, and on the Disney drawing board for even longer. I think I ...

Badge Worthy: JanSport Merit by peacheater Pros: Roomy, rugged, comfortably padded, lifetime guarantee.
Cons: Zippers can snag, rather bulky. When I began working two jobs in a very busy metropolitan area, I quickly realized that I would have to carry an entire day’s worth of supplies with me on the train. I also knew that I would need a carrying case or backpack that had a great deal of ...

THE INN ON BARONS INN in Fredericksburg, Texas must be doing something right by aohcapablanca Pros: Imposing buildings. Lodging rooms do what they are supposed to. Conference rooms. Splendid WiFi.
Cons: Long walks to town. Not all staff were friendly. Breakfasts underwhelming. A/C. Cramped parking. I am 77 years old and have visited not very big Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country from time to time since I was four or five years old and living in San Antonio. In the early 2000s my wife and I owned a winter home at Canyon Lake near New ...

North Face Heckler: Great For Hiking But A Bit Much For Daily Use by Freak369 Pros: Great quality, padded straps, side pockets, zipper pockets, three compartments.
Cons: Foam backing makes it hot in the summer, expensive when not on sale. Priced in the $80.00 to $90.00 range, the North Face Heckler is a great bag but it could be a little on the large side for daily use for some people. I have five or six backpacks that I rotate depending on what I'm doing and ...

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site Puts Things in Perspective by texas-swede Pros: Interesting, educational, beautiful, free parking, free admission, helpful staff, King Center for Nonviolent Social Change.
Cons: Tours of Dr. King’s birth home sell out quickly. The story of Martin Luther King Jr. seems to be so long ago and so far away. For me it happened in another country and most of it happened before I was born. The movies, the news casts, the way people spoke and acted seem to bear no resemblance to the ...
