Has anyone yet experienced a mandatory daily housekeeping gratuity? I recently booked a hotel - a Marriott - and saw this in fine print on my reservation.

Emily Krivograd If at all helpful, I did this two years ago with my daughter. We stayed at the campground, biked and hiked at the wildlife refuge and paddled to see the ponies with Assateague Explorer.

Erin Gifford | Travel & Outdoor Writer Truthfully both. But the majority of my travels are for work. I do a combo of rentals and Ubers. Depends on the destination. What’s your definition of very higher overnight parking fees?

'As an antidote to sky-high charges, firms can mandate the use of parking apps like SpotHero or ParkWhiz for lower rates and prioritize hotels that offer 'Park & Stay' packages for a lower inclusive price.'

Erin Gifford | Travel & Outdoor Writer We had spectacular views of Denali from the train from Denali to Anchorage on a picture-perfect day! 😀 Not a national park but the train through Royal Gorge in Colorado is also super cool! 🚂

Kara Williams Totally agree. My husband, on the other hand, thinks I’m a kook. If it was a group of drunk frat dudes that got left behind, this would not be a story.

Rebecca Hall I turned 50 a few months ago and I feel you. I also don’t feel I in any way fall into the “older woman” category, despite now qualifying for AARP membership!

Canada's Travel Guy All of this. I went to UVA and was at the game when they knocked us out of the ACC tournament, but I’m rooting for them to go all the way! They are so fun to watch, and oh yes, buh-bye Duke!

CitizenScience.Gov I am writing an article about citizen science in national parks for older people, and need to speak with someone at the Citizen Science program. Can you please reach out to me at [email protected]. Thanks.
