Can You Afford To Stay At A Celebrity-Owned Hotel? {Gadling}
Mar 5th 2013 8:02AM Kate Pierson from the B-52s own a hotel in the Catskills called Kate's Lazy Meadow. From what I've heard, it supposed to be pretty reasonably priced, and yes, one of the rentals is called the "Love Shack!"
Abusing Wheelchair Privileges To Cheat The Airport Security Line {Gadling}
Oct 8th 2012 6:32PM My mother is currently living with a serious heart condition and is also currently in remission from 2 different types of cancer. She looks perfectly healthy at first glance, but the fact is that she really needs help going through airports because she tires easily, so I always request assistance for her. What bothers me is when the airline employees encourage abuse. The last time my parents took a flight, I requested wheelchair assistance for my mother, but the person who checked them in requested wheelchairs for each of my parents. My father is in perfect health and needs no such assistance and when I mentioned this to the attendant, he said it's easier this way and that he often requests wheelchair assistance himself when he flies because it's faster. This was a man who looked to be in his mid-forties and in perfect health. Plus, he was an employee of the airline! It's hard to beat this problem when the employees themselves are suggesting it.

Start Your Travel Fund With The Change In Your Pocket (But Good Luck Finding A Bank To Count Your Coins) {Gadling}
Apr 3rd 2012 11:22AM 9% is crazy for counting change. Try a credit union. They usually have no fee checking and savings accounts. You can deposit your coins right into the no fee machines, which will deposit the cash right into your account. Then, just leave enough in the account to keep it open until next year. Usually just a few dollars will do the trick.
I do the change jars also. Paid for an entire trip to Disney World for my family of 6 a few years back. Lately, the jars have been paying for Christmas gifts for my ever growing family (kid-in-laws, grandkids, etc.). It's a totally painless way of saving money.
Enjoy a free Broadway show in a retro New York diner {Gadling}
Dec 19th 2011 6:17AM I love this place. You're absolutely right, it's really touristy, and kitschy too, but it's a lot of fun. Whenever we have relatives with kids come into town we take them there. The food is basic comfort food, so everyone will find something they like on the menu, and the waitstaff singing is always fun.
