Health and Diet
Can't avoid that freezer burn? It won't make you sick, but it will make food tasteless and tough. Good meats can quickly go bad when not properly packaged. To avoid the burn, wrap food properly in aluminum foil, heavy freezer paper or plastic freezer bags. Freezer containers with tight lids can do the trick too. Be sure to get the air out before you seal.

Fitness
Many times hotels and motels have agreements with local fitness centers and gyms that allow guests to use the facilities for a small fee or no fee. Check at the front desk of the hotel or speak to the concierge to find out about additional perks.
