It’s been a while since I’ve been to a proper hotel lounge. I don’t know about you, but I love hotel lounges. Who needs a cash minibar when you have a well-appointed room with a free real bar? As much as I love hanging out in hotel rooms, I love having the option to go…
In terms of ultimate luxuries in life, the list goes: Taking a bath in chocolate pudding Eating hot dogs at a cookout Ordering room service There’s just something about having a full meal delivered to your room, complete with a white tablecloth, silver domes (fun fact: they’re called cloches), and tiny bottles of condiments.

So, as you may know, I totally went to France last week. Sacrebleu! As is the case with some of these fancy press trips, there’s an airline partner involved. In this case, it was Air France, who generously sent me in economy class from LA to Paris. On the way home, however, I won the…
