I have been saving up for a vacation in the Mediterranean this summer. I want to go to Greece. I have watched a lot of travel shows that showcase the country, and I love the images of clay villas with colorful roofs and beautiful blue water. I have looked into santorini tours that look like they will be a nice addition to the general lounging and sunbathing I plan on doing. In my art history class in college, we studied the colorful frescos from ancient times and fell in love. After college, I got caught up in real life, getting a career started and paying bills, but now that things have settled down and I feel more comfortable financially, I have decided that it is time to use my overtime pay for a little pampering. The recharge will do me some good, and I can come home ready to jump back into the grind.

Saturday, January 21st, 2012
I never knew how great a home swap could be. My husband and I had always wanted to go to Spain, we both were able to get two months leave for vacation and we were actually able to travel to Spain. My husband told me that he had heard about a program that you could go on and trade houses with a person from a different country, so we decided that it was something that we were going to try to do. We found a great website and we met a couple from Spain. They offered us there house in the south of Spain, and we offered them our house in New York. They were so exited about coming to New York, and my husband and I were exited about going there. We exchanged all the needed information, and we traveled to Spain. My husband and I had the most amazing adventure in Spain, words cannot express how wonderful it was to be able to be in such a great country. We were able to see all of the sights and sound and we were able to also meet great people while we were there. My husband and I decided that we were going to try to do a home swap again, because we had a great experience.
There Are Many Locations to See Spectacular Views of Seville
Saturday, January 14th, 2012When staying in one of the many Seville holiday apartments, a person needs to make it a priority to see the Giralda. This very tall tower was created in the eleventh century. It is located next to the Seville Cathedral and was originally created and used as a minaret. This means light house in Arabic and the particular style of this tower is similar to Islamic Mosques. The height of this tower is three hundred and forty three feet and is simply breath taking. There is actually an internal ramp that is available for visitors to walk up to the top of the tower and see a spectacular bird’s eye view of the city. In fact, nothing can quite compare to this type of view in the least. Every person who makes the trek up is absolutely mesmerized by the experience. In fact, pictures of this particular area do not do justice when comparing it to seeing it live and in person.

Our Honeymoon in Rome

They are even going to pay for us to stay in a famous hotel in the middle of the city. I have never really thought about going there before, so I have no idea what the tourist attractions in the area actually are. I looked up the phrase “Sightseeing Rome” in a travel guide in order to figure out what we should do once we get there. I think that I found a few good places to go, and I hope that my husband will agree with my choices. Since he knows so much more about the city than I do, I hope that he will provide me with some helpful tips about what sort of clothes that I should bring.

Holidays in Chiang Mai!
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011One of the most popular places to visit on Thailand holidays is Chiang Mai, this region receives over 1 million visitors from outside of Thailand each year. It is most popular for all of the culturally hand crafted items that can be purchased at shops and bazaars. The surrounding landscape is mountainous but very flat in the centre, almost the entire city is covered in forest and it is even difficult to spot where the roads are from the hillsides. The hotels and resorts have capitalised on this view, and have created top quality luxury resorts to cater for the needs of those that just want a holiday to relax on. There are many festivities here throughout the year, and although culturally young, the city is becoming westernised so shopping for more technological products is still possible. Of course fireworks are produced here as well, and they take full advantage of these when there is a celebration, so visit when you can find there is a festival and you will be in for the experience of a life time!
