Los Angeles: Reasonably Priced Places to Stay in LA
How long are you planning on staying? For a large family with a longer stay, I would definitely look at renting through AirBnB. Some rentals negotiate a weekly price and that way you have a "home base" to have some meals. Also, if you use AirBnB, you could split... See More
Where in Los Angeles? I don't want to take you off the beaten path. Off the top of my head: With a 19 year old, I would probably do Downtown Disney District or Universal CityWalk. Both locations have different places to dine... See More

What tourist traps around the world are worth the visit?
Manhattan, of course! It'll tire you and confuse you, but you'll get to eat a lot of great foods and have a great adventure. The subways are fantastic way to get around. If you get going in the wrong direction, hop off and jump on the one going back.... See More
