Soured by Airline Calamities, Family Turned to LiTRV to Take Them to Disney World

Soured by Airline Calamities, Family Turned to LiTRV to Take Them to Disney World

A holiday tradition for one family turned into a new adventure this past year when the family turned to LiTRV to help them travel from Kentucky to Florida to spend a week in Disney World.

Each year for the past nine years, Alicia and her family have picked a different destination to travel to over the holidays. The tradition began when Alicia and her husband, Brandon, got married on New Year’s Eve in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“We didn’t want a big wedding, so our immediate family traveled with us to the resort, and we all had a blast. From that point on, we decided to plan a vacation every holiday,” Alicia said.

But over the last few years, challenges with flight delays and cancellations have caused more headaches than fun.

“Getting there always seems to be the problem,” Alicia said. “In 2021, we had plans to fly to the Nickelodeon Resort in the Dominican Republic. We were supposed to fly from Louisville to Atlanta, but our flight was cancelled, so we had to drive there. Then we got stuck in the airport, which is no fun with several young children.”

In early 2022, Alicia and her family began to plan for a holiday vacation in Disney World. But no one wanted to drive.

“At first we thought about getting a bus, but my mother is a big shopper and we needed room for the extra luggage,” she said. “Also, my sister just had a baby, so we needed room for her stroller and other items.”

Alicia continued to search for a solution. They needed comfortable, safe, reliable transportation for 13 family members. She found LiTRV’s luxury motorcoach rental services while searching the internet.

“Their fees were within our budget,” she said. “We actually looked at what we spent with airline flights, luggage fees, Uber rides to the airport and other expenses, and it was comparable to the cost of renting a luxury motorcoach and private driver.”

Alicia said the round-trip experience worked out very well. The driver picked everyone up at her home at night so they could arrive at Disney World the next day.

Alicia and her family on the luxury motorcoach they rented from LiTRV for their holiday trip to Disney World.

“The kids loved it. The motorcoach used to be a tour bus for Gibson Guitars, and the décor was cool. There was plenty of room to sleep and stretch out. Driving through the night is a great option, especially if you have kids, and the best part is that we didn’t have to wait on any lines,” she said.

Coming home, they decided to leave a day early, and so they rang in the New Year and celebrated Alicia and Brandon’s anniversary on the motorcoach.

“It was a great alternative to flying,” Alicia said. “The motorcoach was clean, the driver was nice, and it just made our holiday experience much better than in previous years. We would recommend it to other families who are planning a vacation.”

A Tour of California’s Three-Star Michelin Restaurants

A Tour of California’s Three-Star Michelin Restaurants

California has an incredible seven three-star Michelin Restaurants within its borders, making it one of the world’s food capitals. Wealthy patrons from around the globe fly to the state every year to sample local chefs’ latest creations. Luxury motorcoaches with private drivers pick them up in San Francisco and take them on tours of nearby culinary delights.

But where should you go? That’s the topic of this page. Here, we run through a list of five impeccable restaurants that stand out from the rest.

1. Atelier Crenn, San Francisco, California

Atelier Crenn opened under the stewardship of Dominique Crenn in 2011. It was a way for the prodigal chef to celebrate her French culinary heritage and share it with the community. She now owns several three-Michelin-starred restaurants in the local area.

The word “atelia” is French for workshop or studio. As such, Crenn sees her culinary creations less as cooking and more as alchemy. Her restaurants are not afraid to try new flavors or take on new challenges in their attempts to craft “culinary poetry.”

Incredibly, Atelier Crenn achieved Michelin star status within a year of opening. It received its second Michelin star in 2012, earning the third in 2018. Crenn was the first female U.S. chef in history to achieve the accolade.

During the pandemic, Crenn continued to refine her processes and techniques. In 2021, she received the World’s 50 Best Icon Award, putting her establishment firmly in the top restaurants globally.

 

2. Single Thread, Healdsburg, California

Located at 131 North Street, Healdsburg, Single Thread is one of California’s most celebrated three Michelin-starred restaurants, growing 70 percent of its produce on its organic farm. The establishment is famous for its Japanese cuisine and adherence to the omotenashi philosophy – or the principle of meeting guests’ every need.

Kyle Connaugton, one of America’s most accomplished chefs, runs a restaurant with his wife, Katina. Their pair tune their menu to reflect the seasons in Sonoma County, only providing their guests with local in-season delicacies. During the spring, guests enjoy smoked Ora king salmon with myoga and arctic char roe. Later in the year, the menu switches to pumpkin tartare, Dungeness crab, and miso-makrut lime foam.

The Connaugtons are experts in Japanese clay pot cooking, introducing guests to black cod served over a broth of ember fish bones. The entire experience is genuinely other-worldly.

 

3. The French Laundry, Yountville, California

Perhaps the most famous three-Michelin-starred restaurant in California, The French Laundry continues to wow guests and never misses a beat. As such, it deserves its title as one of the best cooking spaces in the U.S.

Chef Thomas Keller’s dream to open an exceptional restaurant began in 1990 on a trip to Yountville. The aspirational food wizard wanted to establish a French fine dining destination in the Napa Valley to complement its fabulous winegrowing.

The French Laundry was originally a steam laundry. Keller purchased it from the then-local mayor, Don Schmitt, in 1994 and transformed it into the establishment food critics love today.

The French Laundry achieved three Michelin stars (the organization’s highest rating) in 2007, making chef Thomas Keller the only American-born chef to have two three-starred restaurants in the country that year. Since this honor, the restaurant has won numerous other accolades, including the Wine Spectator Grand Award and the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant Award.

 

4. Manresa, Los Gatos, California

Manresa in the Bay Area specializes in contemporary food, introducing guests to stunning dishes unavailable elsewhere. The establishment’s success stems from the leadership and philosophy of executive head chef David Kinch. He believes that if you “focus first on the process, the work, and the craft, the recognition will follow.” And that’s what’s happened.

In addition to three Michelin stars, Kinch earned the title of the number 23 chef in Le Chef magazine’s international list of culinary talent, as voted by other Michelin star chefs globally Atelier Crenn. Consequently, Manresa now ranks in the top ten of La Liste’s best thousand food establishments anywhere on the planet.

Going to Manresa is a theatrical experience. Guests don’t know what food they will eat until it arrives on the table. Chef Kinch makes all dishes cerebral yet approachable. Crowd favorites include red-pepper pates de fruits and saffron bouillabaisse topped with crisp brioche wafers.

 

5. Benu, San Francisco, CA

Lastly, we have Benu in the center of bustling San Francisco. This restaurant pursues excellence relentlessly, attempting to redefine and perfect dishes with every passing season.

Diners begin the experience by enjoying various “small bites” – highly technical dishes designed to introduce guests to the chefs’ skills. Examples include shark fin and xiao long bao. They then move onto a range of main courses, each with a twist. Good examples include a unique take on Korean beef and signature barbecued quail with XO sauce.

Chef Corey Lee doesn’t rest on his laurels. He continues to invent and reimagine dishes, developing new flavors it is hard to find elsewhere.

Benu offers a fixed menu comprising seafood and vegetables (with a few meat and sweet dishes). The restaurant recommends setting aside at least three hours for dinner and asks guests to let it know before they arrive if they have eaten its menu before so they can try something new.

Best places to stay for Super Bowl 2023

Best places to stay for Super Bowl 2023

The next Super Bowl (LVII) will arrive on Feb 12th, 2023, held at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. This year will be the fourth year the state has hosted the competition, following successes in 1996, 2007, and 2015.

Super Bowls attract vast numbers of people from all over the country. Therefore, it’s essential to find the right place to stay.

This page looks at all the best places to stay for Super Bowl 2023 in Glendale. We then explore whether hiring a motorcoach might be an even better idea. Here’s what you need to know.

 

1. The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale

The Phoenician is perhaps the finest hotel establishment in Arizona, offering spectacular accommodation just a hop, skip and jump from the Super Bowl. State Farm Stadium is 30 minutes away via Route 10, passing through the heart of Phoenix.

The modern incarnation of The Phoenician arrived in 1985 when founder Charles Keating embarked on a vision to create a luxury, multi-million-dollar resort. He chose the site at the base of Camelback Mountain because it is the most recognizable location in the valley. The goal was to recreate European splendor, featuring the finest materials, such as Carrera white marble, Steinway pianos, and 24-carat gold ceilings.

In 2016, The Phoenician underwent another transformation, its most substantial renovation since 1988. The three-year project redesigned all 585 guest rooms, public areas, retail corridors, and lobbies.

The following year, the hotel opened a three-story facility with twenty-four treatment rooms and a rooftop pool. Today, guests can enjoy a vast array of amenities, including imported Italian linens, in-room high-speed internet, original signed artwork, European marble bathrooms, guest rooms averaging 600 square feet, and cordless phones.

The presidential suite is the hotel’s most luxurious accommodation, offering stunning views of tree-lined fairways, the city of Phoenix, and the mountains beyond. With enough space for two to four people, guests enjoy more than 4,000 square feet of living space, a full kitchen, and a private outdoor terrace.

 

2. Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia

Also 30 minutes from State Farm Stadium, Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa in Montelucia provides exquisite accommodation for the discerning guest. The hotel appeals to both business and pleasure and is a destination for recreation, relaxation, and romance. Once you finish at the Super Bowl, you can relax at the in-house spa, take a dip in the pool, climb Camelback Mountain, or indulge your taste buds at various Spanish and Mexican-inspired restaurants.

Omni Scottsdale resort offers various experience packages, depending on the type of visit you want to experience. “Sweet Traditions” is one of the most popular. Here, you receive a beverage credit to enjoy various chocolate-based drinks and keepsake mugs. You can also indulge in “experiences,” including a round of golf, spa days, and Scottsdale attractions.

 

3. Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel and Spa

Renaissance Phoenix Glendale hotel is just a few meters from State Farm Stadium, making it one of the best places to absorb the venue’s atmosphere. The hotel is charming and authentic but, by its own admission, “anything but ordinary.”

What makes it unique? Primarily the location. It provides easy access to the Gila River Arena, Phoenix’s entertainment district, and the Tanger Outlet for designer shopping.

There’s also plenty of delectable food on offer. Soleil is a delightful American eatery at the hotel where you can enjoy cozy seasonable dishes next to the fire in the winter months. Ray’s in the hotel lobby offers a relaxed atmosphere for nibbles, wines, and handcrafted cocktails. You’ll also find the Yard House Restaurant for burgers and beer and Fleming’s Steakhouse and Wine Bar.

 

4. The Wigwam

The Wigwam is perhaps the best-named hotel on this list and just a 14-minute drive from the Super Bowl venue. The highly rated and critically-acclaimed destination offers a contemporary rustic vibe with stunning suite complexes and quick access to the adjoining golf course.

The Wigwam’s recreational facilities include outdoor pools, water slides, and tennis courts. You can also indulge in various lawn games at the resort and attend its gym, equipped with talented local trainers.

Presidential suites offer the ultimate Wigwam experience. The Oraibi is more than 5,000 square feet and offers three bedrooms, granite countertops, complimentary glassware, and ceramic tiled bathrooms. The alternative Bacabi is 3,500 square feet of paradise located in tree-lined enclaves in the heart of the resort, offering master bedrooms, guest rooms, three bathrooms, and a powder room.

 

5. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

A thirty-minute drive to the north and east of State Farm Stadium, you’ll find the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, one of the best examples of a hotel anywhere in the U.S. The ridiculously sumptuous destination sits amid palm trees against the backdrop of the Arizona desert and bright blue skies. This year, the resort is celebrating three decades as an AAA Five Diamond hotel – a pedigree that’s hard to find elsewhere.

The hotel has more than 750 well-appointed guest rooms and two presidential suites. The accommodation includes terraces, refreshment centers, oversized luxury bathrooms, and work areas. All rooms pay subtle homage to local styling and interior design conventions, helping you get into the spirit of the place. It’s the perfect retreat after the big game.

 

Hire A Luxury Motorcoach for The Big Game

Of course, staying in a hotel isn’t your only option. You can also hire a luxury motorcoach for the big game. A Motorcoach rental provides you with state-of-the art comfort and luxurious amenities while traveling to and from the game, and while staying the night at a nearby motorcoach resort.

All LiTRV motorcoaches come with private drivers, meaning you never have to operate them around tight bends or fit them into narrow parking spaces. Moreover, we can drop you off and pick you up from the Super Bowl on whatever schedule you want, meaning your home goes with you for the duration of the trip. We can also prepare your motorcoach for you in advance, ready for you to settle in immediately (without the need to go out and stock it up with food).

Private Jet Travel Alternative

Private Jet Travel Alternative

Private jets are the mode of transport of choice for wealthy people. But they come at a cost – and not just a financial one. You must endure the rigmarole of airport security, put up with annoying pressure changes, and make do with a cramped cabin that gives some people claustrophobia. Plus, there is an army of Twitter trolls tracking your every move.

Fortunately, there’s a better way: traveling by motorcoach. It might not be as zippy as hopping on your Gulfstream, but it’s certainly more luxurious.

The Benefits of Luxury Motorcoach Travel

Let’s look at some of the benefits of luxury motorcoach travel compared to flying by private jet:

More Space to Move Around

Compared to a private jet, luxury motorcoaches give you more space to move around. The average Gulfstream is just 8.6 feet wide and seating occupies much of that space. On most planes, it’s difficult to stretch your legs at all. You can walk up and down the gangway bumping into your hostess on the way, but that’s about it.

On a luxury motorcoach, though, you have significantly more space. No, they’re not quite as big as subterranean basements, but there is enough space for living rooms, bathrooms, and dining areas. They’re like a home away from home.

More Comfortable for People with Air Pressure Sensitivities

It doesn’t matter how much you spend on a flight; you will be in pain if you have ear sensitivity. Changes in barometric pressure cause painful pockets of air to form in the inner ear that are hard to shift, even if you consult with your doctor before your flight.

Large jetliners deal with this by adjusting cabin pressure, improving comfort for most passengers. But smaller aircraft don’t usually have such robust systems. Hence, people who have sinus problems or ear sensitivities can experience earaches, headaches, and inner ear pain.

Going through this once a year for a summer vacation is tolerable. But for those regularly using private jets, it’s not acceptable. There must be a better way to travel.

And, fortunately, there is. Luxury motorcoaches remain firmly on the ground.

 

Reduced Risk of Respiratory and Cardiovascular Disease

Air travel increases the risk of respiratory disease. The combination of recycled air and proximity to other travelers in airport terminals raises the likelihood of infection, while changes in air pressure can be damaging for those with chronic diseases.

Many passengers are also at risk of cardiovascular disease. Air travel dramatically increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis. The CDC says that anyone over the age of 40 or with a BMI over 30 is at high risk.

Of course, when you stay on the ground and travel via luxury motorcoach, you avoid these risks. Coaches make it far less likely that you will get an infection or experience a dangerous cardiovascular event.

Stop Whenever You Want

A Gulfstream jet can’t just pull up at a rest area for a break. It must travel directly from one airport to another.

And that’s inconvenient. You wouldn’t spend ten hours solid on the road without stopping, but when traveling by air, people consider it normal.

With a motorcoach, though, comfort break opportunities come along all the time. There are countless rest areas and roadside locations en route. You can get out, stretch your legs, and enjoy the fresh air whenever you want.

What’s more, when you travel by luxury motorcoach, you can explore places on the way to your destination. If you spot a winery, art gallery, theater, or Michelin Star restaurant you want to check out, nothing’s stopping you from doing so. Your driver simply parks the motorcoach and you go out and enjoy yourself.

In this sense, motorcoaches are more than mere methods of getting from point A to B. While aircrafts focus on getting you to your destination, traveling by motorcoach gives you an opportunity to explore and go on an adventure. You can stop off wherever you like, whenever you want. It’s total freedom.

More Room for Belongings, Pets and Family Members

Gulfstream and other private jets need to be light and nimble to get up into the air. And, unfortunately, as discussed above, that means limiting cabin space.

As such, you don’t get a lot of room to bring extra people, pets, and belongings. Often, you must be selective, which is not what you want after spending such high fees.

But with a motorcoach, you avoid all these space and weight limitations. Luxury RVs are very much like owning a house on wheels. You have room for everything you want to bring with you, including the family, dogs, golf clubs, and all your leisure equipment, without space or weight limitations. It means that when you finally arrive at your destination, you can enjoy yourself so much more.

No Turbulence

Conditions at 40,000 feet are unpredictable. Air pressure can change rapidly, and wind speeds reach hundreds of miles per hour. It’s not uncommon for turbulence to throw passengers from their seats, potentially causing injuries.

With motorcoach travel, you can reduce such risks. Traveling at lower speeds and in more stable atmospheric conditions decreases the risk of your stomach churning. You don’t have to spend hours strapped to your seat, just because the atmosphere has decided to be inconvenient. It’s just smooth driving all the way to your destination, with fun places to stop off along the way.

Rent A Motorcoach as an Alternative to Private Jet Travel

If you’re looking for an alternative to private jet travel, you’re not alone. Many wealthy people are exploring alternative modes of transport that meet their needs. Fortunately, you don’t have to go out and buy a motorcoach right off the bat. Instead, you can rent a class A motorcoach from LiTRV and test it out first. Contact LiTRV today and experience your own private driver and all the amenities you could ever want to make your trip more enjoyable.
