The Newbury Hotel & Boston's Back Bay

The Newbury Hotel took on a big piece of Boston's history by renovating a prestigious and storied city landmark where many of us have memories -- afternoon tea, people watching over lunch, and if you were lucky enough, an overnight stay in a fireplaced room, complete with a Wood Butler to keep the fire burning.

Las Vegas Part 2

Day 2 in Vegas and I am committed to hiding in the hotel while the rest of the world is at the Consumer Electronics show, scoping out emotional support robots (this is not a joke) and personal hovercraft (this is not a joke either).

Once this is done, I do have a plan. Back to the spa for a facial and then to Zen Kitchen for sushi.

First on our list is a 2 hour hike through the mountains. But not before we hit the breakfast bar and get some coffee, fresh squeezed juice and maybe a little chocolate croissant to split.
