Vacations are great because they allow us to escape everyday life, but even when we are on holiday, the daily exigencies of life must be met.

You need to know where to find a drug store, your bank, the grocery market, the post office, and a doctor, just in case.  You also want to know how to navigate the public transportation system and what the parking laws are here (tickets make bad souvenirs).  And everyone with a laptop has to know where the free, wi-fi spots are in town.

If you want to workout while on vacay, it would helpful to know about gyms, yoga classes, and the like.  If you are in recovery, you need to know where to find the 12-step meetings.  And if you travel with your pet, you definitely want to know about things such as area dog parks, pet supply stores, vets, and leash laws, right?  Right.

This section of the “Visitor Information” guide was created to make your trip easier, healthier, safer, and more convenient.  How’s that for hospitality?
