08/25 La Seu Cathedral

Mallorca is the largest island of Spain and is located in the Mediterranean Sea. As a tourist attraction is not only boasts some of the finest hotels in Spain, but many famous tourist attractions as well. One of our favorites was the Christian Cathedral, La Seu. It is located in Palma and was built on the site of a former Arab mosque. The interior is beautiful with stained glass windows that allow beautiful lighting to spill forth into the large high ceilings. The finished structure is over four hundred years old but was started about eight hundred years ago by King James I of Aragon.

08/24 The trick to getting Six Flags Discounts

You don’t have a season pass, and you don’t want to pay full admission price.  Like everyone else, what do you do?  There are two tricks that can help.  Trick one:  Get your friends together for a day at the park and buy the tickets in bulk and apply discount coupons.  If your group is large enough and you contact the park ahead of time, you can receive a group discount.  Why?  You get cheaper tickets, your with all your good friends (maybe that special someone also), and your having a good time!  You can’t lose.  Trick two:  Season pass holders are able to bring a friend on special promotion days and get tickets either half priced or even free.  These are the days when you want to make sure to be on your buddy’s list of choices.  The best deal of them all because you have an opportunity to possibly go for free.

08/24 Hogmanay

If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate the coming of the new year, try visiting Edinburgh’s Hogmanay at the end of December. You will not be alone at this celebration. Over 100,000 people will be in attendance filling the Edinburgh hotels to their maximum. For four days there is non-stop entertainment as Edinburgh becomes one fantastically large block party. Four stages are built so that the international artists can perform for the crowds. There are torch light parades scheduled and for the more fit, a One o’clock run on New Years Day. Entertainment and celebrants change from year to year, but each year is well worth the trip.

08/22 Music, music, music

Birmingham is a city of music and musical talents. Every year, the hotels in Birmingham attract tourists that want to sample the musical greatness. Venues range from the hard rock music style established by groups such as Black Sabbath to the Birmingham International Jazz Festival to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. If you are a fan of organ music you will not want to miss the latter. The “city organist” is a highly sought after position and only seven men have held it since 1834. Weekly recitals are available but check with your hotel for the exact times and places of these performances.

08/17 Going on vacation

I’m almost packed and ready to go on my next whirlwind adventure to Europe. I will be traveling to 13 countries in about 40 days and it’s going to be the adventure of lifetime. I have my money, my passport, all my guide books, hiking equipment, and of course my electrical outlet converters. I can’t be caught abroad without having my blow dryer working properly. The only thing I have left to do is to purchase some annual travel insurance. Since I will be gone for so long, I don’t want to have to worry about medical expenses while I’m away.

08/16 Choosing Travel Operators

To the ordinary working class citizen, traveling happens rarely. The importance of preparation is very important since a huge amount of savings is poured into airline tickets and hotel accommodation. Most people opt to arrange everything themselves. While to those who want to leave it to the professionals, they run into the hands of travel operators to give them expert advice and good deals. In choosing travel operators however, recommendation is important. You might want to check with well traveled friends who can give you a list of good travel operators. In addition to that, always compare costs whether one travel package is comparable to another. It is also helpful to check refund and rebooking terms just in case anything comes up. You wouldn’t want that money to go down the drains.

What could be better than spending your honeymoon in Bali? Nothing that I know of, and that’s exactly what my future husband and I have planned for our honeymoon. We found some Bali villas that are absolutely gorgeous located right on the water. I can’t believe the price either. It’s well within our budget and also with the money we will receive from our wedding, it should be very affordable. I’m almost more excited about the honeymoon than I am for my own wedding. We’re hoping to make memories that will last a lifetime and be a honeymoon to remember forever.

I was impressed with the high ceilings and simple decor of the Victoria Hotel. Like many of the Cork hotels, it is relatively inexpensive to visit. You will not need a car to get around Cork if you stay in this hotel. It is short taxi ride from the airport and just a few steps from the train station. Let your adventurous nature take over and rely on local transportation for your visit. You can enjoy the local golf and fishing or you can relax in the comfort of your hotel. There is a both a restaurant and a bar for you to enjoy.
