My cousin, Jasmine, has once again invited me to visit her in London. yes, I am eager to do so as well since we have not met each other in the past ten years and to think that we used to be so close when we were kids. Well, what can I say but work and life got in the way. She went to work in London and did not have the opportunity to return for a holiday but she has promised to take us for a mini London tour if and when we managed to get ourselves there!

I am not even sure if I could get leave off work, that’s why it is always difficult to plan my vacation ahead but Jasmine told me of a website which I could book last minute hotel rooms in the UK.

I checked out Hotel Shop UK upon her recommendation and it is a breeze to navigate the site. I could just search for my idea hotel by the type of hotel I am looking for, the type of breaks that I am looking forward to and the kind of offer that I have in mind.

I went through the list of hotels in London and frankly, I am not prepared to spend too much on hotel accommodation but I have my eye on The Burns which has affordable rooms and is located at Kensington in London, a lovely place, according to Jasmine.

Hotel Shop UK has a list of amenities listed for each hotel and includes the different daily rates, nearby places of interests and the nearest tubes. These are valuable information for the visitor, especially a first time visitor like me!

My cousin, Jasmine, who lives in London, told me that it is surprising how many British people travel to Florida for a vacation. Like most web-savvy people, they would do their research on the internet first before making reservations. I believe this is what all of us would do so as not to waste our previous travel time.

According to Jasmine, most of her friends who are going to Florida for a vacation this December have made reservations for Florida Villas through the web. They told Jasmine that one of the sites they go to is Think Florida, a resourceful and informative site on Florida travel and vacation that specifically caters to British people.

Getting information and subsequently making holiday plans online is a very convenient way to plan our holiday. It is especially so when a website has all the information on your preferred destination that you ever need!

The year-end holiday is a time for weddings. I personally have received quite a few “red bombs” for this month alone. I heard from a couple of bridal couples that they are going on all inclusive honeymoons. I have only heard of the popularity of all inclusive honeymoons a couple of months ago and I am surprised that this trend has been picked up by Malaysian couples as well.

According to these friends, they have heard of the destination weddings that are being offered by SuperClubs and how well everything is taken care of should they take out a honeymoon vacation through them.

The most popular wedding destinations are the Caribbean and Jamaica and surprisingly, these vacation packages are very reasonably priced without hidden costs. I had thought that these would cost an arm and a leg because they are so far away but then with a savings of up to 55%, I would say it makes it affordable to many people bridal couples.
