If you prefer boutique hotels over the big chains, try Boutique Hotels & Resorts International and Tablet Hotels. Both are great sources to find unique and luxurious places to stay in cities around the world.
I've come to realize that when all hell breaks loose in life, it helps to vent. Retail therapy is better but venting is less expensive! What am I venting about, you ask? Anything and everything...men, money, travel, fashion, stupid people... So, hang out awhile and enjoy the adventures of a fictional “IT” girl. You just might learn a few things. And feel free to let off some steam of your own. I'm happy to share my soapbox with you. Peace and love, Ava
