Surfing the world's longest wave

"Even at some of the world’s best-known breaks, a ride can last under 10 seconds. But not at Chicama. This remote, windswept break off Peru’s arid northern shore is thought to be the world’s longest wave."

Review: Park Hyatt New York

I stayed at the Park Hyatt New York opening night last August, and was really impressed. It's Park Hyatt's new flagship property, and it really is spectacular. I find most luxury hotels in New York to be way past their prime, so it's nice to have a new five star option that's modern and has large rooms.

In this case I redeemed a free night certificate I received for staying at 50 unique Hyatt properties, so I don't think there's a better use than this property, given that it's a Category 7 property (meaning a free night would cost 30,000 points).

This review won't be as comprehensive as the last one, as I won't cover some of the public facilities as I did last time, like the amazing pool, gym, etc.

Now let me start by saying that we stayed the night of Thanksgiving, so I almost feel guilty being critical of service, since I realize no one wants to work on Thanksgiving. But I'll still share my observations, and you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like.

Just Back: Jackson Hole

Nat Geo staffer Erin Block just returned from a winter adventure in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. "As a rule, I'm a warm-weather person," she says. "But one day I decided it was high time I stepped far out of my comfort zone." That’s how she decided to try her hand at skiing for the first time—on some of the biggest and steepest slopes in the United States. The last word? "There was no better place to bundle up and leave the warm behind."
