Party in Vancouver!

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

It’s party time for me tonight in Vancouver! Jim found out that we’d been given a free 2 night stay in a Vancouver hotel from his work. It’s called the Cassandra Hotel. I’ve checked it out online, and i’m pretty damn excited becasue it’s supposed to be fairly close to Metrotown, which I hear is one of the best shopping areas in Vancouver. I’m a big fan of fish too, so we’ll probably pop down to the Aquarium while we’re there. The inside of the hotle doesn’t look that great, and i’d go as far as saying it’s certainly not luxury accommodation by any stretch of the imagination, but as long as the location is convinient then i’m happy.

Plus, it’s a great opportunity to just spend a coupel of days together, and not have to worry about having our bedsheets made or anything. Anyway, that’s all from me, need to pack my bags and get ready for my vacation!

Who’s for Hong Kong?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Many people traveling to Hong Kong, either for business or pleasure, may have this preconceived opinion that Hong Kong is merely an urban land packed with a grid of skyscraping concrete towers. Contrarily, if you look hard enough, you’ll detect there are a horde of quieter, more rural hotels located out in the quieter suburbs that will cater for the family perfectly.  Obviously, staying in a hotel in the suburbs means you’re farther away from the business office in the center, but Hong Kong’s excellent transportation network makes light work of getting into the CBD during rush hour.

If you ‘re looking for first class hotel accommodation in Asia then the best place to start searching may well be the ultra modern region of Hong Kong. With numerous accommodation options available (from budget to five star luxury), you will be hard pressed to find anything that comes close in terms of quality or value. Even the technology in the budget hotels in Hong Kong is something to marvel at, with high velocity lifts and ultra modernistic air-condition, irrespective of your budget, you will live in comfort.

The Beauty of Bali

Monday, June 14th, 2010

I’m a regular traveler, particularly around South East Asia. If anyone’s been to that part of the world before then i’m sure they’ll agree there’s some wonderful places to go and relax.  Bali, Indonesia is one of them, and if you’ve got a bit of money to spend I’d thoroghly recommend staying in one of the resort hotels. So what make a good resort in Bali? well, if they’re on the beach it’s a bonus,  and fortunately many of the beach resorts in bali are on the beach.

In addition to looking at the many options of resorts on the beach in Bali, try the villas. Most of the villas in Bali come with their own private pool and some even come with their own jacuzzi! Now that is my idea of relaxing!

Summer is almost here…

Hooray!!

Summer is almost here, and i just found out today that we’ll be heading over to glorious Tunisia at the end of July. I’ve never been on a holiday to Tunisia before, but i’ve heard really good things about it. Another great thing about Tunisia is that it’s not an overly popular destination (yet) so you can pick up some really great deals on a whole range of Tunisia Holidays

Go check it out anyway and see if you can steal a bargain holiday to Tunisa this summer. Enjoy!
