2024 is the last year of our 7 year, 50 state road trip and we kicked it off by heading down to Florida. Our first stop was St Augustine which we'd only heard good things about. Accommodation wasn't very cheap, but we got lucky that a brand new Hyatt Place had opened up only … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt Place St Augustine/Vilano Beach, FL

Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From New Jersey
For almost two months over November and December 2023, Shae and I stayed in New Jersey. I was going to say we visited New Jersey, but overall we didn't do very much "visiting" there! Those two months are an extremely busy time for me work-wise with one of my other websites, so … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From New Jersey
2.5 Weeks In & Around Boston: Here’s What We Did

Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Boston (Executive Suite)
Just before my parents came to visit from the UK, Shae and I spent five nights at the Hyatt Regency Boston (the one downtown, not the one at Boston Harbor near the airport). Cash rates for a base room were ~$650 per night which is far more than we'd ever pay for a hotel. … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Boston (Executive Suite)

Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Rochester, NY
To kick off our time in New York state we decided to stay five nights in Rochester. Rochester hadn't been somewhere that had particularly been on our radar, but it was about halfway between Detroit, MI where we were coming from and Lodi, NY in the Finger Lakes region where we'd … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Rochester, NY
Some Downtime In Minneapolis – Here’s What We Did
To round out our time in Minnesota, we ended up staying a total of three weeks in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. Due to the way things worked out though, we didn't end up doing as much there as we might've hoped. Both Shae and I had work trips at the beginning of June, both of … [Read more...] about Some Downtime In Minneapolis – Here’s What We Did
Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency St. Louis At The Arch (Executive Suite King)
Shae and I fell in love with St Louis when we spent 11 days there recently. A large part of the reason we enjoyed our time so much is because we stayed downtown at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis At The Arch. As the name suggests, the hotel is at the Gateway Arch (read more about … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency St. Louis At The Arch (Executive Suite King)
Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha, Qatar
Shae and I flew back to the US from South Africa on Qatar Airways (see my review of that excellent experience here).

Hamad International Airport in Doha … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha, Qatar
Hotel Review: Hyatt House Lewes/Rehoboth Beach, DE
After spending just over a month in Pennsylvania, Shae, Truffles and I moved on to Delaware. Seeing as it's a smaller state, we decided to only spend 11 days there and stayed that entire time at the Hyatt House Lewes/Rehoboth Beach. It's a fairly new hotel as it only opened in … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt House Lewes/Rehoboth Beach, DE
