What is a Mancation?

Have you heard of Girl's Nights Out?  Girl's Weekend Trips?

Well, recently, CNN reported on mancations?  Instead of a girl's weekend away to Vegas, men get together in NYC or San Juan or Cancun to relax and talk about men stuff (football, sports, cars, etc..)

Last Year a long time buddy of mine went to Chichen Itza, Mexico (near Cancun) for a weekend.  We had a blast! 

There should be Girl's Weekend Trips and Mancations!  Enjoy!

How to get a US Passport

http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/get_4855.html

It takes 1-2 months to get the passport in your mail box.  You can expedite it, but I don't recommend it.

I recommend going to a US Post Office that does passports and pictures.  Let them do it all.  Make sure you have copies of all identification and be prepared to wait at the post office.

$80 for the passport and ~ $15 for the picture (from the Post Office)

Where am I?

Want to see Pope Francesco/Francis in Vatican City?  I can help you and your spouse/friend get there!

Want to visit where the Pope grew up?  I can help you get there!

I am going to see the Pope later this year.  Not difficult for you all to do with enough planning and patience!

I like to travel using frequent flier miles!  It is just cheaper and gets me around a time or two a year. 

With 60,000 United miles, I will travel to several locations in Europe this year for my anniversary trip.

Easy to do and I can help you customize your future European trip!  Your Asian trip!  Your Latin American trip!

Have any of you stayed at Park Hyatt hotels in the past?  They are Hyatt's top end hotels.

I stayed in the Park Hyatt Paris location last year and would highly recommend it.  Will be staying the Park Hyatt Milan in the near future.

After searching the web, I found Park Hyatt openings in Riviera Maya and in Los Cabos!  Pretty exciting.  If they are designated as Category 4 or below, you can get a free room from them each year if you have the Hyatt credit card.  The Park Hyatt Riviera Maya is supposed to be open in 2016.
