Plan a Miami Cruise This Fall or Winter

It's not the most popular time of year for a cruise from Miami, but it's a great time to plan one for later in the year.  When things get back into high gear in November, cruisers will have a wide variety of cruise lengths to choose from, ranging from three night trips to the Bahamas to 7-night eastern Caribbean voyages to 10-night sailings to the southern Caribbean.  Visit Miami Cruise Guide for information about the ships and cruises available this fall and winter out of Miami.

This Week's New (or Improved) Hotels

The Hyatt Place Long Island East End is now open in Riverhead, New York.  Located near the eastern end of Long Island the hotel is adjacent to the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center. Between them, the hotel and aquarium offer a significant amount of space for meetings and other events.

 

The Westin Gaslamp Quarter San Diego is looking very different after a complete reno of their guest rooms.  It's all so much trendier looking - with all the benefits that come with the hotel's downtown San Diego location.  Part of a $25 million overhaul that will be completed by sometime in 2012.
