You’re right, Jamie, so many more hotels these days are rolling out the welcome mat for pets, which makes it even easier to travel. This app was a hotels.com April Fool’s prank, but we do offer a lot of pet-friendly hotel options on hotels.com. Hope this helps! ~Travel Smart Blog Team

Love it! It seems like traveling with dogs is easier than ever these days, with more hotels putting out the welcome mat for our 4-legged friends. I have had a problem in the past with booking hotels online (because they are pet friendly) – and then the hotel doesn’t have record of my request for a “pet friendly” room when I arrive. Would this app help with that?

Great point, Robin. Nothing is more devastating than breaking something that’s expensive, especially if it’s your favorite. Awesome tip!

Hi Jamie, glad you like the tips! I completely agree about staying in a town close by and saving some money. It’s not as convenient, but it saves you a ton of money in the long run!

Great tips, and I totally agree. If you’re skiing in one of the more expensive resort towns, you can save a bundle by staying in nearby towns. For a recent trip to Aspen, we stayed in a town about 40 minutes away and paid about 30% of what we would have paid in Aspen.

Don’t bring your expensive bottle of perfume at all. Spray it on some cotton balls and put in a ziplock baggie. easy to oack and unbreakable!!!!

Great suggestion, Tyler. Philadelphia certainly does have a ton of history behind it and it’s certainly beautiful to walk around and visit. I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future posts. Who doesn’t love the ‘City of Brotherly Love?’ ~Nicole

When I was in Miami I did some “Burn Notice” sight seeing on my own. It was pretty fun! I’m going to Hawaii in September and plan to do the KOS movie tour and check some sights on my own as well!

How could you not put Philadelphia as a place to visit. It is without a doubt, the most historic city in the US that can only be rivaled by Boston. This site just goes to show how under appreciated Philadelphia is and how it is consistently overlooked.
