“Hi. We’re celebrating!” – Hotel tip

Whenever I travel, I make sure the hotel knows ahead of time that I’m celebrating!

I tell them that my husband and I are celebrating either our honeymoon, anniversary or birthday. Most nicer hotels, resorts or B&B’s will leave a little surprise in your room to make you feel special. I’ve had champagne, chocolates, baskets, fruit and even complimentary spa services awaiting our arrival. I’ve never had anyone ask for proof of the event so book away and celebrate!

[Ed’s note: this practice may involve some duplicitousness. Consider yourself warned.]
