July was a good month for me. Instead of chasing dream redemptions and the ultimate lie-flat seat, I chased my friends near and far and remembered why all of this matters. A great hotel room is a dream, but so is sleeping on your friend's couch.
For me, July was a few nice hotels — but even more guest rooms and couches. And I'm so grateful.
But while I was sleeping on those couches, the hotel news kept coming. Like the fact that Hilton's all-inclusive portfolio is growing, and Marriott is switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
