Traveler Beware

With spring break coming up---a lot of people will be booking flights/hotels/rental cars/ etc ONLINE. The TODAY show hosted a short segment on how some hotels, resorts, & restaurants post fake reviews scamming travelers into believing they're this wonderful place---when they're actually a dump or have critters or foul smelling rooms! One guy even said that if it takes a few bogus reviews to get more people in your door, he didn't see what was wrong. So please be careful, & make sure you do your research! Not to say that you're not smart enough to know that some sites don't always offer honest reviews ;)

Other than that, enjoy your weekend! And the fab blog hops around the blogisphere!

Dream Destination

Jet-Setters we've got a new Dream Destination for you this week that is sure to heat you up and cool you down. We are talking about the Blue Lagoon in Icleand.

Dubbed as "The Land of Fire and Ice", Blue Lagoon combines both nature and science to create a spa experience unlike any other.

Doesn't lounging in a steam bath and soaking in the sheer beauty that the surrounding nature has to offer sound simply divine!

The most fascinating part is that even in the winter time the Blue Lagoon is still open! How amazing would that be to feel the warm of the water while watching the snow all around you.

To learn more about the Blue Lagoon Spa and book reservations, check out: www.bluelagoon.com

So, Jet-Setters what do you think of of this week's Dream Destination? Will you be packing your bags to Iceland anytime soon?
