Cultured gentlemen know Dumb and Dumber is not just one of the greatest comedies of all time, but it also stands proudly among other highfalutin films like Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and The Princess Diaries as one of the greatest movies of all time. Now, to celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, one Colorado hotel is honoring this cinematic icon in the best way possible: with a legit, luxury hotel/ski package that would make Lloyd and Harry proud.

While the original film (we’ll never acknowledge that blasphemous sequel was ever released) features two unbelievable dimwits, the official Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd & Harry Meet The Curtis package is aimed squarely at sophisticated, ski-loving travelers seeking an upscale Rocky Mountain getaway. The $10,000 price tag might seem steep, but the package includes a long list of luxury amenities. All that’s required is for you to get yourself to Denver, where much of the movie was filmed.

Once in the city, guests will enjoy a two-night stay in a Corner King Deluxe room at The Curtis hotel. Naturally, two ruffled tuxedos — one orange and one powder blue — and two matching top hats will be provided at check-in. Also included are two pairs of Icelantic Nomad 95 skis, customized by local artists with one-of-a-kind Denver skyline artwork. Shortly after settling in, guests will be whisked away to Aspen with private jet service and luxury SUV transportation.

Two single-day ski lift tickets will be waiting upon arrival in Aspen. After a day on the slopes, guests return to Denver with a 12-pack of Aspen Beer Co. beer to imbibe on the flight home. Back in the city, on-demand spa treatments will be waiting before enjoying a gourmet Sunday brunch at the hotel’s The Corner Office restaurant. Relax with a late Sunday checkout before spending the last afternoon touring downtown Denver with a three-hour moped rental.

The Curtis is known for its travel-themed nods to pop culture. Guest room designs and past promotions have included quirky tie-ins to everything from Ghostbusters to video games to The Shining to Jimmy Buffet. The hotel even offers a pooch-friendly Scooby Doo Pet Package complete with travel food bowls and Scooby and Shaggy snacks.

The Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd & Harry Meet The Curtis package is available now through April 21, 2019, so long as you call at least two weeks in advance. If you do make it out there, let us know if that John Denver was indeed “full of shit.”

These unexpected menu items at Komodo Las Vegas made my meal memorable
From appetizers to dessert, expect to be impressed
Komodo Las Vegas

The difference between a good meal and a memorable meal goes beyond just great food. You can find great food anywhere and especially when visiting Las Vegas. Yet, the most memorable meals of my life have more than just stellar food. Memorable meals have an element of surprise or experience to them. At Komodo Las Vegas, unexpected menu items turned the dining experience unforgettable.

The menu is full of choices that go beyond what you'd see at a typical Southeast Asian restaurant, transforming a meal into a complete dining experience. From the Matcha Martini to the Surf & Turf Maki Roll, these unexpected menu items at Komodo Las Vegas surprised me in the best way possible.

Flying with beer? Here’s how to pack alcohol in your luggage
Learn how to do this right with this packing guide
Packing a suitcase

If you're anything like me and can’t resist picking up a few bottles of that amazing local wine or craft beer while you’re traveling, you’ve probably faced that moment of panic when it’s time to pack. Maybe you went a little overboard at a vineyard in Napa or filled half your suitcase with IPAs from a cool little brewery you stumbled upon. No judgment -- been there, done that. Honestly, local beer and wine make some of the best souvenirs (and gifts, if you don’t end up keeping them for yourself). Here's the big question, though. Can you bring alcohol on a plane?

The short answer is yes. Like with anything else in life, there are rules, and it's important to know them before you head to the airport, including how much and what you can bring. If you're flying with beer or wine, it's also essential to know how to pack the alcohol for the flight. There’s nothing worse than a bottle of red wine breaking in your suitcase and staining everything, or a broken beer bottle making your luggage smell like yeast right before a long-haul flight. With a few smart packing decisions, your beer or wine will be safely waiting for you at the baggage carousel, wherever your final destination may be.

Once nearly impossible to visit, this country could soon welcome the world
Turkmenistan just got easier to visit
Turkmenistan

For most of the world, Turkmenistan remains a mystery. Landlocked in Central Asia, it’s the second largest country in the region, yet it’s one of the least-known nations globally. Part of the reason for its obscurity? Turkmenistan has long maintained some of the strictest visa policies in the world. Independent travelers could only access the country on a transit visa, typically valid for just 3 to 7 days, or by joining a guided tour that required pre-arranged, government-approved invitations.

But that may soon change. According to The Independent, Turkmenistan has passed a new law that simplifies the visa process. Under the new system, travelers will only need to fill out an online form, eliminating the need for a formal invitation. Although President Serdar Berdymukhamedov will have the final say on the specifics (including the types of electronic visas and their validity) the new process promises to make visiting Turkmenistan far easier for travelers.
