Join me onboard a fun and fabulous LGBT group aboard the stunning new Celebrity EDGE. This ship will be like nothing you have ever seen and doesn't even hit the water until December! You can be one of the first to sail on her with a few hundred of your new gay best friends! Think of this as "gay-lite" with happy hours, piano bars, LGBT comedians and singers, group excursions, and more. And, the pricing is locked in at almost HALF of current pricing at $1,726 pp which includes the classic beverage package!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at two fantastic AKA properties in NYC when I was there last month. If you have not heard of AKA, take a few moments to learn about them as they are a great option for long and short-term stays. They have properties in metropolitan locations such as New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and London. Lodging ranges from one and two bedroom apartments to penthouse hotel suites. Take a look at my notes from my recent stays…

Almost every day I am asked the question: "Why would someone want to use a travel agent?" But, once they do, they ask why they didn't do it sooner. There are a ton of reasons working with a travel professional makes sense but here are the three that I think ring true for most people:

Sometimes you just need a few days away to relax, unwind, or live it up. These are some of my favorite weekend getaways at different price points - and all with great perks! Let's book a little break - you deserve it!

This past week I had the pleasure of visiting the Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas. A lot of people have reached out to me about the property and it had been years since I had been so I decided to check it out for myself. Overall, it was a wonderful experience but there are definitely some tips I would like to share that will help with your experience. (I also get amazing packages and deals at the resort so let me know if you are interested in planning a trip!)

As you probably know, I have done a good amount of cruises - around 40 if I had to guess. I have sailed with a variety of companies including Royal Caribbean, Princess, NCL, Oceania, MSC, Celebrity, and more. While each ship offers a unique experience, Celebrity is launching a new ship that is straight out of the future - and it looks amazing.

Will I be freezing? Will I be bored? Will I want to leave in the middle?

Today, people are much more aware of destinations and choosing to travel to more exotic and "lesser known" locales in the age of internet research and easy flights. Based on this and other factors, here are 8 places I think will be hot in 2018.
 

Through my times in PV, I have found a few hidden treasures that I think no traveler to the area should miss. Here they are.

Beauty everywhere you looked. This is what I remember most about my time in South Pacific, cruising around French Polynesia.

Situated on over 400 acres, this property feels like a Mediterranean estate! Located just north of San Diego, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar is one of the top rated hotels in the country and is even TripAdvisor's #1 Luxury Hotel in the United States.

This past weekend, I had a blast spending my Gregtober birthday weekend in one of my favorite US cities - New Orleans!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went on my first R Family trip as a single gay guy. I booked their all-inclusive vacation to the Club Med resort in Ixtapa this past summer - set to travel alone, meet new friends, and see where the week took me.

As someone who works with businesses in Ptown, I have had the opportunity to visit throughout the entire year and can honestly say October is one of my favorite months in town.
