Don’t let the Bed Bugs Bite!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

The Bedbug Registry exists to give travelers and renters a reliable and neutral platform for reporting their encounters with bedbugs.  These retro pests are spreading extremely quickly across several North American cities!

Bed bugs are easy to transport in luggage and very hard to get rid of.  They have become a real nuisance for hotels, who are generally not publicizing their infestations.  You can’t tell whether a building or hotel room has them based on cleanliness - the bugs can thrive anywhere there are cracks and crevices to hide in.  Until a reliable, safe pesticide becomes available, avoiding bedbug encounters will be the only reliable way to ensure they don’t spread into your own home.

The Wierdest and Wackiest Hotels in the World!

Often a hotel is just a place to lay your head, more a means to an end than a destination.  That isn’t the case at these EXTREMELY unusual hotels!   Click the links and scroll through the pictures in the top right: PART ONE, and PART TWO.  Imagine what it would be like to spend the night in some of these places!  My favourite is the Poseiden Resort, although at $30K US per week I don’t know how often I will be booking it!
