Insurance may cover the health care expenses but the cost of the hotel and air fare falls on the patient. Now, some patients may qualify for financial assistance to cover these extra expenses thanks to two special programs: Assistance with Air Travel Expenses The American Cancer Society (ACS) Air Miles program is a joint effort between Mercy Medical Airlift (MMA)/National Patient Travel Helpline (NPATH) and the American Cancer Society. The program is designed to help patients with the cost of air fare when traveling for cancer-related treatment. Please call the ACS at (800) 227-2345 to find out if you are eligible for help wit...

We’ve seen this throughout history. Even Plato and Aristotle observed odd behaviors among playwrights and poets, writes Harvard University researcher Shelley Carson, author of Your Creative Brain: Seven Steps to Maximize Imagination, Productivity and Innovation in Your Life, in the May/June 2011 issue of Scientific American. She gave several examples of creatives’ strange behaviors: “Albert Einstein picked up cigarette butts off the street to get tobacco for his pipe; Howard Hughes spent entire days on a chair in the middle of the supposedly germ-free zone of his Beverly Hills Hotel suite; the composer Robert Schumann believed that his musical compositions were dictated to him by Beethoven and other deceased luminaries fro...

Before you hate me, let me tell you that the trip was filled with challenges. From our hotel “losing” our reservations to getting sick, it was not the relaxing vacation I was expecting. That being said, it was also one of the best trips I ever had. Why? It reminded me that the idea of a retreat or vacation from reality is a temporary fix. Your problems do follow you wherever you go and can be a microcosm of your real life. Although taking a break is a necessity for our mental health, it should not be perceived as an escape or a cure for what’s really ailing us. In the end, it gave me the insight to see that I didn’t need to wait for big vacations and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to change my...

The local hospital is unveiling its new birth center, where every patient room will be equipped with an iPod docking station, a flat-screen TV and DVD player, a soaking tub, rocking chair and refrigerator — oh, and a place for the baby to sleep, too. Buffalo Hospital has spent $7.1 million to turn its old labor and delivery unit into a state-of-the-art facility to appeal to a new generation of patients.

I use it to locate nice hotels, book rooms, etc. I also use google earth to see the surroundings of a hotel and google maps for the directions. Sometimes I read the comments or reviews about a certain hotel when presented with it on the website although I’m not always convinced about the objectivity of these reviews. From a recent publication I learned that one-third of travel purchasers visited a message board, forum, or online community before their online travel purchasing because they believed online reviews would be helpful to their purchase decision. So they take it a step further before booking. Moreover, more than 74 percent of travelers use the comments of other consumers as information sources when planning trips for...

David Carradine has been found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok. He was shooting a new film and was “found by crew members after failing to turn up for a dinner.” Several sources have said he was “found hanged in his luxury room and is believed to have committed suicide.” Many fans know Carradine from his 1970s series Kung Fu and movie Kill Bill. Our sympathies go out to his family.

I travel a lot for business and, therefore, I  stay in a lot of hotels.  I almost always choose mid-range hotels like the Marriott and the Hilton. I do that because these hotels offer me consistent value. For a modest sum, I get a decent size room that is clean and more or less attractive. I also get services, like free internet and late night in-room dining that make my life easier.But every once in a while, I like to splurge.
