The Hudson Hotel in New York City has a special surprise in it's courtyard this spring. For $10 a game, you can enjoy a go at their Putt Putt Park! It is a miniature golf course, complete with all the traditional mini golf attractions, such as the ever popular windmill. Guests can also enjoy a round of delicious food and beverage unique to the Putt Putt Park. The park's hours range from 2 pm-10 pm, and various deals through their hotel packages can help gain you access.

For most of us, our desire to travel exceeds our budget. Can virtual reality replace the real thing? It would be pretty nice to paddle through a mangrove swamp or stroll along the Great Wall of China without having to negotiate time off work. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen any time soon. The smell of a tequila distillery or the fireworks at a local festival won't be coming to any headset.
