Hotel Tips Bring an over-the-door shoe organizer - Hotel tip by Cindy Coulter (RSS feed) on Aug 13th, 2010 at 11:37PM One of the biggest frustrations when traveling is staying organized in your hotel room. After you check-in, hang this on the bathroom door and fill it with all of your toiletries or other items – yes, even shoes. It works great for toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair brushes/combs, hairspray, aspirin, rain ponchos, etc. Check the alarm upon arrival - Hotel tip by Jane E. I don't know if it's the maid setting the room's alarm clock as a prank, or the occupants prior to my stay. Not the best way to start off a relaxing vacation.

Bleu Raisin, chambres d'hôtes près de Saint-Emilion When The Bloom Is off The Retirement Rose . . . What Then? One of the benefits of having worked as a pharmacist as long as I did was the opportunity to get to know and understand retirees and their lifestyle. What I learned from them has had a profound impact on my thinking about how to get the most out of the mature years. As I interacted with them I used to think that if every person contemplating retirement had a chance to deal with retirees on a daily basis it would dramatically change how people prepare for and live in the retirement years.

The first stage of retirement consists of the newly retired enjoying the freedom of not having to go to work every day. The second stage heralds closure of the honeymoon phase and the realization that the fun and games are not as pleasurable or fulfilling as they used to be. Barbara Morris, R.

Amazing Infinity Pool on 55-Storey Marina Bay Sand Hotel in Singapore EmailEmail If you would have no problems crossing the Glass Pavement Built on 4,690ft Mountain in China we’ve featured earlier, then you should try swimming in the Marina Bay Sand Hotel’s infinity pool. Located along the Marina Bay waterfront, Marina Bay Sands features three cascading hotel towers topped by an extraordinary sky park. At the top of the 55-storey hotel is a 150-meter infinity swimming pool, the world’s largest outdoor pool at that height. Perched 191 metres above the ground, the pools are made up of 422,000 pounds of stainless steel and can hold 376,500 gallons (1424 cubic metres) of water. With over 2,500 rooms and suites, Marina Bay Sand is currently the biggest hotel in Singapore.

10 hoteles para despedir el sol en El Viajero de ELPAÍS Terraza del hotel Almadraba Park, en Roses (Girona). A veces, pasar el día es un trámite necesario para llegar a la hora mágica del verano, cuando el calor se disipa y esperamos ver en el horizonte ese rayo verde que casi nunca aparece. Miles de entusiastas lo buscan a diario tumbados en la playa o desde la terraza de aquellos hoteles que, influidos por la liturgia creada por el Café del Mar, en Ibiza, invitan a sus huéspedes a compartir unos atardeceres únicos y fugaces. Almadraba Park Roses, Girona Hasta hace un par de años, tomar sitio en la terraza del hotel y contemplar el crepúsculo desde sus tumbonas amarillas era un protocolo casi obligado de preparación a la cena que, unos kilómetros de costa más al norte, se iniciaba con otra liturgia única en el restaurante elBulli, de Ferran Adrià.
