I Need a Vacation – Hotels.com Giveaway
I need a vacation. I really do — especially after another eventful evening with Little Disney. Over the weekend, he ate something that caused a horrific rash to quickly spread all over his tiny body. Then he vomited all over Mommy Forever and became non-responsive. His eyes glazed over and then his eyes became droopy. As some of my readers know, Little Disney has a lot of health problems — two of which are food allergies and prone to seizures. So for the second time in eight months, we had to call 911 and had him whisked away in an ambulance to the ER. Luckily, Little Disney didn’t go into seizure this time and he was released from the hospital after about four hours. Now, he’s back to his normal cute self. But mom and dad are still stressed out. We need a vacation to recover.
Speaking of vacations, I want to let you know I’m hosting a mini-vacation giveaway on my dad blog. Thanks to Hotels.com (Facebook | Twitter), one lucky dad or mom can de-stress with a free night stay at a hotel of their choice (up to $350 in value).

while I use Days Inn and Comfort Inn budget hotels while in the US, I really enjoyed my stay at Casa Rustica in Antigua Guatemala last month. Great value, and centrally located in the downtown area.

I used to be a Hilton employee, so I love Hilton hotels! I’ve stayed at a few Hiltons and Embassy Suites (they have great breakfast!)
I love the La Mansion del Rio on the Riverwalk in San Antonio Texas
Can’t say I have a favorite as we have not been able to vacation much. The last one we stayed in was Hilton Garden Inn I think. It was nice and we had gotten a great deal on it.
I never met a Hilton Hotel I didn’t like. Thanks.
I’m a Courtyard by Marriot kinda guy.
Do not travel that much but I do like the MGM Grand at Foxwoods.
I love Marriot hotels, thanks for the chance!
Hiltons are my favorite. I especially liked the one at the Austin TX airport.

I love staying in New Orleans, last Dec we stayed at the Marriott courtyard on St Charles, it was great since we could load up on the free breakfast buffet and the staff was so friendly. The doorman was always ready with directions and the cable car ran right out side the front door

Mine is Hotel Monaco in SLC. It has a hip decor, free wine for 2 hours each night, and allows pets- even rents out goldfish if you have not a pet of your own.
I love holiday inn and thats where i’d spend the night

Ft Lauderdale by the sea,I love that place!
I don’t have a favorite, but I usually stay in a Marriott or Comfort Suites.
I’d have to say my favorite hotel would be W Hotels, especially the W New Orleans – they’re so modern, stylish, and luxurious (yet fairly affordable) that it feels like a real escape every time we stay there. Thanks!
I posted about my favorite vacation on your facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Daddy-Forever/209701237893?v=wall&story_fbid=413982907893&ref=mf

the W hotel is my favorite hotel.
I’ve traveled many places, and my favorite hotel is right in my old hometown. I absolutely love the Heathman in downtown Portland, Oregon. The service is amazing, food is exquisite, and the rooms are so comfortable!
Thanks for a great giveaway,

Our favorite hotel has been Princess Royale in MD.
My favorite hotel is Paradise Pier at Disneyland!
We don’t get to go out of town to stay in hotels very often, but a few years ago I stayed at The Renaissance in Hollywood, Ca and that hotel was very nice!
We recently booked 2 nights at the Daddy-O Hotel in Miami through hotels.com. Loved it!
I really like Marriott
Hampton Inn. I didn’t stay there, I just was there at my mom’s room and I remember the beautiful fluffy comfy bed. I had to meet her there for my sister’s funeral :( I’ve never had a real vacation!
My sis likes Hampton Inn, but I’ve never stayed there. The only major hotel chain I have used in the past is the Marriott and that was because the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc., conferences were there and having founded a state chapter of the L.F.A., Inc., I flew several times to the East Coast, Chicago and Dallas. After coping with raising three kids by myself and dealing with lupus and other rare medical disorders, I REALLY need a vacation.
I looove the W hotel in New Orleans, so gorgeous!
Most amazing hotel ever! Marriott Grand in Point Clear, Alabama!

The most interesting place I’ve stayed is Fort Ross Lodge in California – very funky and our own personal view of the ocean. Memorable.
