Where: Paris, France
April 21, 2011 at 11:58 AM | by | Comment (1)

Hugh Jackman brought his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, and their kids, Oscar and Ava, to Paris for spring break this week where they've hit some of the city's best museums and restaurants just like any other tourists.

Yesterday, the actor was spotted chasing after Ava outside the Musée Rodin, which was opened in 1919 in the Hôtel Biron and displays the works of sculptor Auguste Rodin. The museum is actually a great place to bring kids because they can play in the surrounding gardens, not to mention they get in for free! The museum is open between 10 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. daily. Adult Admission ranges from 1€ to 12€. For more information visit Musee-Rodin. fr.

March 26, 2010 at 12:14 PM | by | Comments (3)

As Congress mulls over lifting the 47-year-old travel ban against Cuba, the Caribbean country is already planning for the influx of U.S. tourists and for the possibility of being the hot new spring break destination for 2011.

Cuba isn't waiting for the ban to be officially lifted before readying itself for the impending tourism boom. At least nine hotels are slated to be built this year, and the country's looking to add about 200,000 rooms. Cuba's also searching for investors to create 10 golf courses and luxury hotels aimed at American tourists. But what about a Copa Cabana club?

Everybody's done it—been channel surfing with you TV, and you flip by MTV and quickly spot their huge beach party, with gyrating bikini-ed girls and a hip host, and you're stuck in a trance watching while Jimmy Fallon shows up to introduce Nickelback to the stage. The show you're watching is MTV's Spring Break, and when before they had just a beach house, they've now expanded to a whole "village," taking over a massive all-inclusive resort in some tropical location.

So where will the action go down this spring break? MTV has teamed up with website StudentCity.com to turn Acapulco, Mexico into their place to be, and they want you—if you're a nubile young person of college-ish age—to join them! But think fast—MTV's Acapulco Spring Break begins this week!

Jetblue Will Also Fly Direct From SFO To Fort Lauderdale

August 11, 2009 at 4:12 PM | by | Comments (2)

Talk about stealing someone's thunder! This morning, Virgin America announced their plans for twice-daily roundtrips from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, beginning in September. By this afternoon, JetBlue had countered with their own suspiciously similar news; they'll be flying one daily roundtrip from SFO to FLL also beginning in November.

We can just imagine Jetblue reading the VA news and exclaiming "oh no you didnt!" Jetblue's flights will begin one day ahead of Virgin's, on the 17th of November versus VA's 18th. Tickets are not yet available for Jetblue's FLL flights. Despite Jetblue's jumping on their route and even a day earlier, Virgin America will have more flights, the whole LAX route as well, and not to mention their precious, precious in-flight WiFi.

Perhaps they'll even race each other in the air?

Virgin America To Service Fort Lauderdale in November

August 11, 2009 at 7:28 AM | by | Comments (3)

Who's ready for spring break?!?!!? Okay okay calm down, because you've still got another eight or so months before you can decamp with your whole camp down to Florida's beaches for barely legal fun. But for you snow birds and West Coasters looking to trade the clubs of LA for the clubs of Miami, the partying will start in November as Virgin America has today announced that they'll be flying nonstop from San Francisco and Los Angeles to sunny Fort Lauderdale.

Jaunted thought this would be a VA destination long ago, though we were leaning MIA over FLL.

Tickets went on sale today for flights beginning November 18, and with two direct roundtrips daily from each city, including the only directs between FLL and SFO, we expect them to go like hotcakes. True to their LCC nature—who thinks of them a low-cost carrier anymore, with their WiFi and great service?—the tickets will start out rather cheap. We're talking prices from $99 each way for economy and $499 and up for higher classes (those with the white leather massage chairs).
