I’ll potentially be in London January 6 – 15th and staying at the Sea Containers in the south of the city completely solo. What are some things you recommend despite the winter? I’ve never been to London/Europe in general and was originally quite skeptical because of the new year/weather and maybe wanting to wait for the spring but saw the prices of air line tickets and bit the bullet for next month. Also thought about seeing Scotland or Normandy for a day if anyone had any advice on how to get there easily. submit…

Avoid Wyndham Timeshare Presentations—Misleading and a Waste of Time I attended a Wyndham timeshare presentation in Phoenix, AZ, and it was a highly deceptive and frustrating experience.

He offered me a $100 gift card in exchange for attending a “hotel tour” and assured …

Hotel/resort recommendation for a comfort-loving solo traveler I like comfort, luxury, nightlife, socializing, sun, relaxing and having to care about nothing while on vacation. When I did travel to places where comfort, relaxing and luxury are in the focus, I wasn’t happy despite getting what I want as I was an alien there as I was both the only young person and the only one with without partner there. Besi…
