We wouldn’t dream of planning a vacation without consulting TripAdvisor’s appraisals of hotels, restaurants, and attractions. But this robust app does much more than that, letting you book your entire trip—from flights to museum tickets—in one place. For those who embrace spontaneity, TripAdvisor is great for quickly finding spots nearby to stay, eat, or play, and the honest user reviews frequently save us from travel troubles.

Good place fro family

I have stayed at this particular RIU twice now and have stayed at others in Jamaica; this was more fun in 2018 when they had a club on site and foam party. They have renovated now, and the property is better, but it seems the food has gotten worse and entertainment not as good. I would recommend RIU Negril, the more expensive one, since they have two; this will give you access to both properties since only one has a good pool. RIU Ocho Rios has an adult pool with a swim-up bar, but it’s a bunch of kids in it splashing water in your drink and some teenagers at the bar drinking alcohol. If you want a family place that you can have fun in, this is it; if you are not looking to be around many kids, avoid it. This property is very clean, and they keep it that way; I did not feel as harassed by local salespeople as I did the last time. The staff was friendly for the most part. There is no AC in the elevators, and the bottles of alcohol that were standard in the room have been removed. The gym is relatively small. I would rate this place a 7 out of 10. It’s a decent resort overall.

WHY keep changing things????

I knew it was a mistake to click on “update” without waiting a few days to read the reviews - which I was sure would be terrible - because they just keep on changing things and making it worse for NO REASON!! I can’t understand why they think ANY of the recent changes are improvements - they moved things around AGAIN so it’s unfamiliar! Nothing on the home page is relevant. Can’t even FIND MY OWN reviews now! Why is everything so HUGE? They’re wasting space & making me scroll way too much… This is the FIFTH time I’ve updated this review in 30 minutes - every time I try to do something I keep finding more horrendous changes. Are they honestly going to make me click on “read more” for EVERY single review? OMG!!! Now instead of just having 2 search lines so I can type in the name of what I want to see and the location directly below it, it I have to click on something else to get the location box to show up so I can type it - an UNNECESSARY EXTRA step! Then, there are multiple restaurants with the same name in this city, and you don’t show me the address anymore, they all just say the city, so I have NO IDEA which one is correct!! They have absolutely destroyed what used to be a helpful trip planning app & it’s just awful now. I’ve never used yelp but it’s time to consider it... Did the people who created this ridiculous redesign ever try to actually use the app before they released this crap to the general public?

How to Book Cheap Flights?

• Fly during the working week Opting to take your flight during the working week can save you money. Flights departing over this period – especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays – are cheaper, mainly because these days are less popular to travel on.
• Have a look at airline websites Many airline websites have made it simpler to identify the inexpensive days to fly by displaying a "calendar view" booking system. This system allows you to scan prices ranging across the week that you are searching.
• Consider flights with less-popular departure times You may also get a bargain flight if you're willing to fly at an early hour. It may well be less expensive to fly at 6 am than at later times due to that time spot being less popular. The only problem you could face is getting to the airport at this time; make sure that public transport is running if you can't take a taxi or get a lift to the airport.
• Find a better price on the Trip.com app This may sound like I'm stating the obvious, but you'd be surprised at the number of people who settle for a price without first shopping around and doing some research. We suggest you have a look for bargains on the Trip.com app. The Trip.com Save & Fly browser extension is a big help when learning how to get cheap flight tickets. While you're looking for airline tickets online, the extension notifies you of whether the exact same flight is available on Trip.com at a better price. It's completely free to install and use, and it takes some of the pressure off booking your tickets.
• Book early instead of waiting until the last minute Don't get fooled into thinking that last-minute deals are necessarily the best option for cheap flight tickets because they seldom are. The smart move is to book early, even as far as a year in advance if that is possible for the flight you require. Flight tickets have a tendency to be cheaper when they are first released – which is normally about a year before the flight – so have a look online as soon as the flights you want are available. This is particularly true if you are planning to travel during school holidays or to a destination where a famous event is taking place. These prices will increase rapidly, so book before the masses do. The price of a flight may drop again before re-climbing in the last few days before the flight takes off but they also may not. It's not worth the risk of waiting for a drop in prices only to be faced with higher prices for leaving it until the last minute. You also run the risk that the tickets will become sold out before you book yours, especially if it's a popular flight. If you're willing to be flexible, which is really the name of the game for cheap flight tickets, then have a look at a flight search engine as it may post flight tickets which get lower in price as the flight time approaches.
• Use a credit card in a wiser way There are a lot of advantages to paying for a flight with a credit card. One advantage is that you are protected when you make bigger purchases. For example, if you spend more than $100 on a flight, you will be covered for a refund if the airline or travel company goes out of business. This will not necessarily be the case if you pay with a debit card so check first. Credit cards are also more useful for spending in a foreign country and give you better exchange rates than you would get with your debit card. Certain credit cards will offer you air miles for each sum of money spent, thus saving you a bit more on your flight tickets. They may also give you a certain amount of cashback on the purchase of your flight ticket.
• Choose flights with a connection Booking a flight with a connection is nearly always a cheaper option, especially on longer-haul flights. The best thing to do is to uncheck the "non-stop only" option on your flight booking website's search engine, and have a look to see if the flights shown are any cheaper. However, there is a degree of risk involved in this method of getting cheap air tickets. If one of your earlier flights is delayed, this could mean that you miss a later connecting flight.
• Book package holidays which may offer cheap flight tickets If you book a package holiday, you are likely to get discounts on flights as well as accommodation. This is because travel companies book tickets in such large volumes that they get huge discounts. It is sometimes possible to get a whole holiday for less than the price of a regular flight.
• Be aware of hidden costs of cheap flights Be aware that cheap flight tickets with budget airlines can be deceptive. Very often there can be hidden costs, so check for air taxes, baggage fees, or seat selection costs before you buy. Airlines can also add travel insurance and other features on automatically without checking to see if you want them first. Travel light if it's possible. Carry-on baggage is usually free, but be sure to check the regulations on weight limitations first.

I Visit Local Bookstores on Every Trip I Take—Here’s Why You Should Too

E ver since I was a kid, I've had my nose stuck in a book. My childhood love for reading knew no bounds, and I made it my mission to read more books with each passing year. I started with Beverly Cleary and eventually moved on to Judy Blume , who helped me realize the depths to which good storytelling can take you. By my preteens, I was maxing out my library card and discovering some of the best books I've ever read.

While my love for reading started at a young age, it's really developed into something that's kept me fulfilled as an adult. I love getting lost in a book after a long day of work, but I also try to find ways to enjoy reading outside of my day-to-day life—including when I'm on vacation.

As someone who is obsessed with books, I can't just abandon my passion when I jet off to parts unknown. I have to bring my love for reading on an adventure with me. I usually bring a few new books to read on a trip, no matter how long I'll be away, but I also leave space for great reads I may find on my travels too. When I go on vacation, I go to escape and discover a new place, and for me, that means finding beloved bookstores , toting newly purchased novels in my travel book bag, looking up local Little Free Libraries and doing anything and everything bookish or creative.

In a way, reading echoes exploration. Just as I discover attractions and other wonders on my travels, I discover new worlds on the pages of a book.

Join the free Reader's Digest Book Club for great reads, monthly discussions, author Q&As and a community of book lovers.

Quirky and quaint bookstores

On a recent road trip to Pittsburgh and Cleveland, I warned my husband and our three daughters that we'd be making some bookish stops in both cities. I had researched the coolest bookstores nearby and made a list of them in the journal I carry with me on every trip. With my husband behind the wheel as we drove from one destination to another, I'd pull up my list and the maps on my phone, checking to see if we could possibly take a bookstore detour.

In Pittsburgh, we stopped at Amazing Books and Records, a shop filled to the brim with secondhand titles—and records for the music lover too. My family and I drifted down the packed aisles for half an hour, pulling different titles to weigh our options. My eldest daughter found a few books to choose from, and I had to remind her that we only had so much space in the already packed car—and lots more souvenirs to bring home!

Besides, Pittsburgh is home to many other incredible bookstores. Consider Fungus Books, which features quirky and offbeat book genres you wouldn't find at just any bookshop.

In Cleveland, we were on our way from Coco's Chalky Paints, located in the historic Fifth Street Arcades, to the Cleveland Museum of Art, near the city's Little Italy, when we stumbled upon one of the coolest bookstores I've ever been to. Loganberry Books is a massive, multiroom bookstore with more than 100,000 new and used titles.

Walking into each room was like slipping into a new bookstore: The classics and rare books section had the appearance of an old-world study, while the children's book section was open and colorful. Dotted throughout were comfortable chairs, perfect for sitting and flipping through your new book.

Loganberry Books was a welcome reprieve from our jam-packed schedule, the stacks of books prompting us to stop and enjoy the moment. I discovered hard-to-find books by some of my favorite authors , and my kids each chose their own picks from the massive children's book section.

Traveling to Little Free Libraries

Whenever I'm on a road trip, I love stopping at nearby Little Free Libraries. While visiting a museum or botanical garden allows me to get to know the history and culture of a place, driving off the beaten path as a tourist allows me to experience the locale in a completely fresh way. Not only that, but as a reader I have the opportunity to connect to the place I'm visiting on a deeper level.

Whenever I travel, I try to bring with me a couple of books that I don't mind giving up. I'll donate a book to a local Little Free Library in exchange for a new one.

We've come across some of the coolest Little Free Libraries this way, like "Steve," built from an old bus shelter in Muskoka, Ontario. The walk-in library is stuffed floor to ceiling with new books and classics . Leaving some books behind with "Steve" made me feel like I was connecting with the community there, and knowing that someone would one day pick up my book and take it home with them felt like I was leaving a positive mark on the place I visited.

We've also found sweet Little Free Libraries that need some love. They sit empty or have a few musty older books, and it brings me joy to add a couple of fresh new titles for someone else to enjoy. When I visit a Little Free Library that needs some help, it's a reminder that cultivating a love for reading takes communal effort, and we all have to come together to keep literacy and a love of reading alive.

New neighborhoods to discover

Maybe all readers are explorers. We open a book and wade into unknown territory: a historical battle, a family vacation ripe with tension, a land of magic , thrilling deep space . Whatever their setting, books whisk us away to places we've never been and help us view the familiar through new eyes. And no, a story isn't physically transporting us to new places. But in a way, a love for reading can.

Finding bookshops and Little Free Libraries has opened up corners of the world that I would have never explored. Usually, I end up getting lost in a random neighborhood. Sometimes I'll stop at a coffee shop and dig into my latest book—even if I was already in the middle of reading another one.

In Pittsburgh, we stopped in the beautiful Squirrel Hill area and grabbed some books, then we settled in with a fresh, housemade hot dog from Frankie Bunz. If I hadn't stopped at the bookstore, I wouldn't have discovered the neighborhood, and I definitely would have missed out on the hot dog shop. While in the city, we also explored some Little Free Libraries that led us to quaint neighborhoods filled with colorful row houses, cute front gardens and steep Appalachian streets. It was on one of our Little Free Library jaunts that we came across Commonplace Coffee, an adorable coffee shop near the Old Allegheny Rows Historic District.

In Cleveland, we stopped at the nearby Shaker Heights community, which is where Celeste Ng's blockbuster hit Everything I Never Told You takes place. Having read the book shortly after it came out, I was eager to discover the town where the story unfolds. I didn't realize Shaker Heights was in Cleveland until I was looking at a map shortly before the trip—it was meant to be!

Making friends along the way

One of the best parts of bringing my love for reading along with me on my travels is meeting equally book-obsessed people. We bookworms are a friendly bunch (even the introverts among us will get chatty when the conversation turns to our favorite reads), and learning booksellers' stories when I stop in to support local bookstores is one of the biggest advantages to exploring my love for reading while traveling.

On a trip to Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario, we came across Read It Again, which is packed with both new and used books. There, I picked up one of the booksellers' recommended books and discovered my next beach read . I kept my new book tucked in my oversize purse and stopped for a breather to read a few pages—while my kids rode the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster and swam in the resort's pool.

When I travel to a new destination, I know that I'll be exploring uncharted territory and enjoying new and unique experiences. But the familiar heavy weight of a book in my bag helps ground me and reminds me to take my time. I might have a packed itinerary, but there's always time to change the GPS route and stop in at a bookstore, no matter where I am.

When to book, fly: Expedia's booking tips can help make your trip more carefree

A new survey by Expedia shows what you probably already know: Americans find air travel stressful. 

According to data released Wednesday, travel is a top stressor for 55% of respondents, with some saying the thought of booking a flight and going to the airport makes them more anxious than filing their taxes or even going to the dentist.

“People, according to the research, are really stressed about the possibility of their flights being canceled and experience those disruptions,” Christie Hudson, head of Expedia public relations in the U.S., told USA TODAY. “There’s some stress that’s happening even just from the planning process,” especially around getting the best possible deal on tickets.

With that in mind, she highlighted some of the survey’s findings and offered some of her top tips for reducing stress and getting the best deal when you travel.

What’s the best day to book your flights?

The best day to book is a constant topic of debate among travelers. According to Hudson, Expedia’s data suggests that Sunday is the likely answer.

While she acknowledged that airline prices are extremely dynamic and booking on Sunday doesn’t guarantee you the best price every time, on average it is when the cheapest fares are available.

“We’re looking at billions of data points of actual booked and flown flights,” Hudson said. 

According to Expedia’s research, booking on Sunday can save you around 6% on domestic flights and 13% on international flights compared to what you’d pay if you booked on a Friday.

How long before your trip should you book your flights?

Another key element to getting the best deal is booking with the right amount of time before your flight.

For domestic flights, the best deals are typically available around a month before departure, when fares are 24% cheaper than they are at the last minute. For international itineraries, 60 days prior to takeoff is the ideal booking window. Expedia found prices for international flights peak about four months before departure, and come down about 10% around the 60-day mark.

“We really recommend that 60-day window because that’s when you’re going to be able to save around 10% but you’re also going to be far enough out that you can get the right route and the seat you want on that airplane,” Hudson said.

She added that with those windows in mind, it’s a good time to start researching your fall and winter holiday travel.

What is the best day to fly?

Aside from the week of Thanksgiving when Wednesday is especially busy, middle-of-the-week flights tend to be the least expensive and the least crowded.

Expedia’s research found Thursdays are typically the cheapest, around 16% less expensive than Sundays, which is usually the most expensive day to depart.

“Book on a Sunday, leave on a Thursday, and make sure you lock in your plans around 28 days out,” Hudson said. “That should be your bible.” 

What is the best time to fly?

Another major stressor for travelers, Expedia found, was flight delays and cancellations.

Hudson said to reduce the chances of issues with your flight, it’s best to travel early in the day.

“The tip there is you need to take a morning flight,” Hudson said. “Around a third of travelers try to avoid morning flights because the whole getting up early and getting to the airport thing stresses them out.” But, she added, Expedia’s research showed flights are less likely to get canceled if they’re scheduled to depart before 3 p.m.

On the plus side, Hudson added, the cancellation rate is improving compared to last year, even as episodes of poor airline reliability continue to generate headlines. 

Flight canceled or delayed? Here's what you're owed.

How else can you reduce stress in air travel?

One other tip Hudson had was to take advantage of price protections when they’re available. These include things like Expedia’s Price Drop Protection and Google Flights’ price guarantee will both refund you the difference if airfare drops on eligible itineraries after you’ve purchased through the platform.

Book Review: Twin brothers, one religious, one not, go on a wild and wacky road trip through South

This cover image released by Central Avenue shows “Goyhood” by Reuven Fenton. (Central Avenue via AP)

• Copy Link copied

In the beginning was… a lie. One day a rabbi knocked on the door of a woman with a Jewish-sounding last name in a small town in Georgia to recruit new members for his synagogue. When he asks if she knows of any Jews in the area, Ida Mae Belkin admits to being one herself. This comes as a shock to her 12-year-old twins Marty and David, who grew up believing in not much more than the national pastime of TV and fast food.

Fast forward some 20 years and Marty, who has become a religious scholar at a Brooklyn yeshiva and goes by the more Jewish-sounding name of Mayer, finds out via Ida Mae’s suicide note that she lied and he and David are not in fact Jewish. That means his marriage to devoutly Orthodox Sarah is effectively null and void since she never would have consented to marry someone outside the faith.

What to do? Clearly, the only solution is to convert to Judaism “on the down-low,” as Mayer’s pot-smoking rascal of a brother puts it, and in the meantime, take a road trip through the Deep South to, well, relax. So begins Reuven Fenton’s quirky debut novel, “Goyhood,” which takes the classic literary theme of the journey — think Homer’s “Odyssey” or Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” — and gives it a decidedly unorthodox twist.

Over the course of their journey, the brothers will adopt a one-eyed dog, almost get blown up in a fireworks store and eventually scatter Ida Mae’s ashes in the Great Smoky Mountains. David’s good friend Charlayne, an Instagram influencer with issues of her own, wonders if their trip isn’t a kind of rumspringa, the Amish rite of passage when young people are encouraged to break the rules before joining the church.

At the beginning of their travels Mayer defines his newly discovered “goyhood” – that is, the condition of not being Jewish – as “the state of rebounding from one travesty to the next.” By the end, he has gained a glimmer of understanding about why the wife he adored was always so standoffish about sex.

Fenton, a longtime reporter for the New York Post whose previous book “Stolen Years” was a nonfiction study of 10 men and women wrongfully imprisoned, has written a big-hearted novel about the enduring importance of faith and family. While some of the plot twists are a little meshuga — the Yiddish word for crazy — overall, the book is a lot of fun.

King felipe of spain was ‘crushed and destroyed’ over queen letizia’s ‘infidelities’ during nyc trip: book.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

King Felipe of Spain was “crushed and destroyed” over his wife Queen Letizia’s alleged infidelity, according to a bombshell new book.

The Spanish royal family has been rocked by a slew of new claims by journalist Jaime Peñafiel, who has covered the royals for decades.

In his latest work, titled “Letizia’s Silences,” released in Spain Wednesday, Peñafiel, 91, claimed the king of Spain was “aware that Letizia was cheating on him in real time” as her bodyguards have an obligation to report on her whereabouts.

The royal author alleges that bodyguards joined the queen on a trip to New York back in 2011, during which she was accompanied by her rumored “lover” Jaime del Burgo.

Letizia, 51, reportedly dated del Burgo before meeting King Felipe in 2002.

“That day [in New York], she was accompanied by her faithful escorts, who, without a doubt, any, they would pass a report to the Ministry of the Interior or [the Palace of] Zarzuela,” Peñafiel wrote in his book, per the Daily Mail .

He added that Felipe, 56, was left “crushed and destroyed” by Letizia’s alleged “betrayal,” and was “plunged into hell” and “wants to get out.”

Del Burgo, 54, who is currently based in the UK, in January contributed to Peñafiel’s tell-all book about Letizia.

The entrepreneur, who is the son of former politician Jaime Ignacio del Burgo, was married to Letizia’s sister Telma from 2012 to 2014.

In Peñafiel’s first book, del Burgo claimed that the pair were still romantically involved after Letizia tied the knot with Felipe in 2004.

Prior to her wedding to Felipe, Letizia previously married to literature teacher Alonso Guerrero Perez from 1998 to 1999.

Del Burgo claimed that he was dating Letizia when she met King Felipe, and that he was planning to propose to Letizia when she announced that she was dating a mysterious “diplomat” over dinner at the Mandarin Oriental Ritz hotel in Madrid in 2002.

In his new book, Peñafiel also claimed that “everything in Letizia’s world has been broken” as a result of her alleged “deceit, adultery and betrayals.”

The veteran reporter took further aim at the queen’s character, claiming she is “cold, indestructible and determined” and often “resorts to silence as a way of controlling and punishing other people.”

In January, Peñafiel was let go from the Spanish newspaper El Mundo after a whopping 20-year tenure.

His sudden departure from the publication took place shortly after he made a series of damaging allegations about the royal family in his first book, titled “Letizia & I.”

In the book, released Jan. 30, Peñafiel alleged that Letizia was embroiled in an affair with del Burgo — a claim he doubled down on in his latest book.

Elsewhere, the veteran royal reporter labeled Letizia “emotionally immature.” He also claimed that she is “hated” by Felipe’s family.

Peñafiel claims that Letizia’s “passive aggressive” nature is the reason Felipe’s mother, Queen Sofia, and his sisters Infanta Cristina and the Duchess of Lugo, “hate her so much.”

The Post has reached out to the Spanish royal family’s office for comment.

Felipe and Letizia tied the knot in a lavish ceremony on May 22, 2004.

They celebrated their 20th anniversary last week.

To mark the special occasion, the couple released official family portraits last week. In the photos, the pair posed alongside their two daughters, Princesses Leonor and Sofia.

The University baseball team isn’t one of those teams.

The fact the third-seeded Bulldogs are perfectly willing to hold a bit of a grudge paid dividends in a 9-4 must-win victory against fourth-seeded Resurrection Christian during the Class 3A state tournament semifinals Friday at Butch Butler Field.

If University senior Connor Weber and his tightly knit, and uber-competitive, teammates have their way in an encounter with juggernaut Eaton on Saturday, that mindset will pay dividends again.

“The whole game, we wanted to get (Resurrection Christian) back; they beat us earlier in the year (8-6 on April 13), and they shouldn’t have,” Weber said. “We’ve seen (Cougars starter) Vaughn Green before, so we knew what he had for us. They brought in a reliever. And we just had some fun.”

Weber engineered a workmanlike effort to go the distance Friday and allow the Bulldogs to save ample pitching for a difficult challenge Saturday.

While Resurrection Christian wrapped up its season with a 24-6 record, University (24-5) advanced to the finals of the two-weekend tournament. It will face a very familiar nemesis in top-seeded, three-time defending state champion Eaton (27-0) at 10 a.m. Saturday in the first of possibly two title games at Butch Butler.

Because the Reds are unbeaten in the double-elimination state tournament, the Bulldogs would need to beat Eaton twice in back-to-back games Saturday to wrestle the title from the Reds’ grasp.

Eaton is on a state-record 68-game win streak.

Keeping University’s bullpen fresh, and perhaps giving the Bulldogs their best chance to upset the Reds twice Saturday, Weber allowed four earned runs on eight hits, striking out three and walking two in a 105-pitch complete-game outing.

But as pivotal as University’s pitching and defense were to its wire-to-wire semifinals win Friday, its offense was at least as impactful.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning — disrupting some momentum Resurrection Christian had from an impressive 5-4 come-from-behind win over No. 5 Coal Ridge (25-4) moments earlier.

Then, with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, University fully paved its path to Saturday’s final with six clutch runs, as the Bulldogs put five consecutive batters on base.

“We got those two runs, we started building momentum and picking up steam — and we’re dangerous,” said University senior Kaleb Tejada, who hit 2 for 3 with a triple and six RBI. “It feels amazing. Every game, we want to keep building, keep getting better. And I think we’re peaking at the right time.”

Somewhat coincidentally, the Bulldogs and many of their supporters sport around T-shirts that say “B.U.T.C.H.” on them.

University makes it its goal every year to cap its season on Butch Butler Field, the home of the eight-team state tournament.

The Bulldogs have qualified for the finals of the tournament now during five of the past six seasons, winning back-to-back state titles in 2018-19.

But the true meaning behind the acronym on their shirts is tied to famed Cookeville, Tennessee, high school baseball coach Butch Chaffin, who is a big proponent of team unity.

Like Chaffin’s teams, University’s players and coaches don a special logo that only they wear.

The logo displays a bulldog that Bulldogs coaches and players also named “Butch.”

Furthermore, “B.U.T.C.H.,” in this context, is an acronym for “Brothers, Unselfish, Teamwork, Character, Hard work.”

“That’s just our goal — Butch Butler,” University coach Casey Miller said. “It’s never guaranteed. It’s never given to us. There is a lot of layers to it. And we live by (the mindset of being) brothers on and off the field. I just tell them, ‘I’m the big brother.’ … We have to be unselfish.”
