Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope.

So skip on over there for the episode recap while we detail our hotel pick.<p>Since those <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0351283/">cartoon characters</a> were faced with some shady characters when they arrived in Madagascar (yeah, we watched the movie and yeah, we're lame), juliana 2006-11-06T09:00:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/7/6/19247/48040 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/soanambo_hotel.jpg"><p>We love a good top ten list here and lucky for us, <a href="http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/detail?articleId=10367">Conde Nast Traveler</a> has provided us with one to fawn over: The best islands for every month (because we definitely go to a new island every month). <p> In preparation for August, the island to go to is Ile St. Marie in Madagascar.
