Dear Reader,
I have always been an avid traveler, initially for business, but then, as time and finances allowed for pleasure. There’s a wanderlust in me that may never be satisfied. But, it is sure fun trying.
Over the years I became increasingly frustrated with the information available when planning a trip to somewhere I had never been. Either there was too much information to make a considered decision (the shotgun approach) or the information was suspect (the “featured” property was only featured because they paid to be).
I had my share of “disaster” weekends where things turned out not to be as it had been portrayed and I realized that for a short trip (a weekend) you can’t afford to make a mistake on where you go, stay, eat and enjoy activities.
From this came the concept for “BestWeekends”, a site that would be dedicated to providing complete, unbiased and usable information for weekend travel. The idea was to become the travelers “advance team” finding the best in each destination to avoid mistakes and enhance the experience…
