Travel/Hotels

I do lot of research before writing a feature on a hotel for my blog, or before visiting a hotel  in person for a   "Pack Your Bags" feature.  If there is a hotel, you think I should feature or a property, please contact me.  I would love to hear from you.  As of 2012, all of my "Pack Your  Bags" hotel features are in person visits 
only.
