The Salon by PS LAX review

The Salon by PS LAX

Location The Salon by PS is located at Los Angeles International airport, but it is far away from the chaotic mess of the other terminals. In fact, it’s located on the other side of the airstrip in a very private terminal. When you arrive by car, there is a quick reservation check at a gated […]

Alto rideshare

About Alto Alto is a new rideshare company similar to Uber and Lyft, but it’s only in select markets right now. Los Angeles is one of those markets, so I was excited to check out the service on a recent trip. Here are some of the main differences between Alto and other ride sharing companies: […]

Downtown LA Proper Hotel Review

Downtown LA Proper Hotel

Getting there The Downtown LA Proper Hotel was about a 30-minute car ride from LAX. I tried a new ride sharing service called Alto to get there and will post a full review of that experience soon.

Northern California Weekend Trip Ideas

Jenner, CA  2 hours from San Francisco I had never heard of Jenner before staying at Timber Cove, but think it’s a great escape from San Francisco for a night or two. It’s located on a bluff along the Pacific Coast a little over 2 hours North of the city, so I’d recommend packing layers […]

Enchantment Resort

Getting there We started our American Southwest journey flying from SFO to PHX and then driving 2 hours to the resort in Sedona, Arizona. We would have preferred to stay at Mii Amo, Enchantment’s wellness focused division of the resort but it was under construction, so we stayed at the main resort instead. Checking in […]
