Off to the InterContinental Bali next week….

I tend to plan “exotic” international trips with a decent bit of advance notice because anticipation is often the best part of vacations. Well, not this time. My brother and I will be heading to Bali in Cathay Pacific first class next week. Tough life, right?
You’re probably wondering why we waited so long to book. I knew our spring [...]

InterContinental Presidental Suite Charity Auction

InterContinental has donated over 30 two night stays in their presidential suites to charity. You can bid on these two night stays here, and I bet you’ll get one heck of a deal compared to the rack rate. While this is a bit (ok, totally) out of my budget, it is a great cause and [...]
