• If only there was a love boat to rescue me from this ordinary life!

    Have you ever been on a European cruise? I haven’t, but that’s something I’ve clearly inscribed and double-underlined in my list of things to do before I die. It must be something else, getting on a cruise, and just drifting along in the wide seas for a couple of weeks: doing nothing but sun-bathing, saloon dancing, cocktail-sipping and generally getting lost in the big blue. I’m usually not a big fan of boats, especially when they’re too small… I’m always afraid they’ll tip over and I must confess I’m not that good a swimmer. But I don’t think that a proper cruise boat would make me uncomfortable! Those things are rock solid and steady… right?

    I was just drifting along in one of my usual inordinate musings over the Internet, after having stumbled upon this cruise booking website. Oh, how I wish I was rich (yeah, doesn’t everyone?), and just be able to take a week off stating tomorrow, and take my girlfriend along in the cruise of a lifetime! But that’s not really how it works for us blue collar types, is it? Well, at least we can dream about a better tomorrow! Also, cruises aren’t so expensive nowadays, so maybe all it takes is a little saving and I’ll be able to indulge my dream.

     
  • I wish I could just take off and head out to Costa Rica Surf Vacation!

    This is terrible! I had quite the busy summer and I didn’t really get much in the way of vacations; I thought it would be alright but it isn’t! I keep daydreaming about some decent vacations abroad, and not even my occasional inter-state escapades seem to do the trick anymore, in soothing my mind. Right now… if I could choose just about any destination and take off, I think I’d go for a costa rica surf vacation. I was never much of a surfer dude, but I think it’s just about time I try it; well, I might even e really good at it! Maybe the Costa Rican people will revere me as some kind of ancient deity reincarnated! I don’t know… maybe I’ll just catch some sun and revel under the clear blue sky.

    Oh man, I really should stop torturing myself like this. But I couldn’t help but making some research, and I immediately came across this video by the Costa Rican Tourism Board. Within this footage, they make a great job of making people feel drawn to their beautiful land, and specifically make me feel depressed because I can’t go there just right now. But I will! In the upcoming months, I’ll be doing serious planning and next summer, it’s either Costa Rica… or Costa Rica anyway! Sounds like a really fun place to visit, wouldn’t you agree?

     
  • A perfect Denver Hotel to spend a perfect week in Denver!

    Pop quiz, hot shot: do you know which is the so-called art capital of the West? Do you know what’s the most influential city in Colorado? Are you wondering why I’m writing this post like it was a Jeopardy show? Well, the answer to all these questions (okay, MOST of these questions) is none other than DENVER! One of the most fascinating cities in the US I’ve always wanted to visit, and one that I’m effectively thinking about visiting later this month. It all started when I came across this Denver Hotel which is offering quite enticing prices, and I really couldn’t help myself… sooner than I realized, my mental cogs were already turning westbound, thus getting me in a state of huge anticipation regarding a visit to Denver.

    I’ve been making some research concerning things worth seeing in Denver, and it’s a good think I’m planning to visit for a whole week. There’s really a lot of things going on in Denver and I want to see it all! From the beautiful Montrose landscapes to the Colorado Railroad museum (I’m a big fan of trains) to the Royal Gorge bride and Park… Denver looks like a wonderful place to visit. And I think I’m going there just in the right season as well; from what I’ve read so far, it seems as though Fall is the perfect season to visit this city, which apparently gets particularly striking this time of the year. If anyone out there is familiar with Denver, don’t be shy! I want some great ideas on how to spend my time there, so kindly use the comments box down below to make your suggestions.

     
  • Traveler’s advice: always buy prepaid phone cards!

    Ah… with full-on summer time hitting hard, this is definitely my favorite time of the year! With the warm breeze rolling in, I always feel like going around and traveling around states, sometimes even countries. Well, fortunately though I’m no kind of outcast, so calling home and getting word to the loved ones is always a priority. The problem is that sometimes going a long way from home means getting trapped in high-cost phone rates; well, this is why I’ve learned to take advantage of phone cards to get the most talk for the least cash.

    Before I got used to purchasing Calling Cards, I used to spend loads of money on cell phone charges – in fact I used to pay several times more cash than it would be called for. Now, the good thing about getting a Prepaid Phone Card is that, besides making it easier to keep track of the money you’re spending, most call rates are generally drastically lower. If you don’t suppose it really makes a difference, just give it a try next time you’re out of town… I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

  • If you come by Myrtle Beach, here’s a map… for FUN!

    Finally! The time for vacations is almost here, and I’m starting to let my mind drift in choosing this years’ plan!
