I tried ResortPass, and it felt like a mini vacation
ResortPass totally changed my staycation game
ResortPass

There are days, usually halfway through a 100-degree Ohio summer day, when my body screams “beach day!” but my bank account (and the 10‑hour drive to the coast) laughs in my face. So, when I discovered ResortPass, a service that lets regular folks like me snag hotel‑guest perks like delightful pools, plush cabanas, and frozen drinks, without actually staying the night, I hit “book” immediately.

The Finger Lakes Region might be known for its wine, but don’t sleep on its beer
Come for the wine, but stay for the Finger Lakes beer
Big aLICe

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, it's that the area is an excellent spot for summer vacations, with eleven lakes spanning 9,000 square miles from the Syracuse region to Rochester. It's a fantastic area of the country for camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. It's also a well-known destination for wine-centric vacations due to its many wineries scattered throughout the lakes (over 130 wineries). But if you're only visiting the region for wine and hiking, you're missing out on some outstanding breweries. I've lived in the Finger Lakes Region for my whole life. I've noticed that, like in much of the country, in the last few decades, the area has become home to countless noteworthy, award-winning breweries with more seemingly springing up every few months.
