My friend, Lawrence, told me that there were so many Spanish speaking people in the United States. Lawrence was posted to Spain to work this past year and he thought that by going to America for a vacation, he would be getting a change of scene but it did not look like that, Haha!

According to Lawrence, most of his colleagues have told him that it is not easy to make hotel reservations and holiday travel plans because there is a lack of such websites in Spanish. They do speak English but not that well. And they keep telling Lawrence, what they want is just descuento en hoteles. Actually, don’t we all???

Lawrence did tell them that Hotels.com has a sister site in Spanish that is specially set up to cater to Spanish speaking people, particularly in America but of course, other Spanish speakers are welcome to use it to plan a vacation as well. With a site in their native language, it would be a whole lot easier for them to make hotel reservations!

Just now, I had a chat with my friend who just returned from a vacation to Langkawi where he flew on Air Asia and he told me that the air stewardesses were meticulous and very polite to the guests.

My friend who flew in many airline before in the course of work and holiday told me that it is on an off chance that he gets to meet a fumbling, nervous flight attendant and it looks like all of them, no matter what airlines they work for, have a high standard to uphold.

I used to think it is a dream job to be an air stewardess but according to friends who have a flight attendant career, they said that it may be glamorous and exciting but it’s grueling as well!

I know that to embark on a career as an air stewardess, I would have to enroll in a flight attendant school first and go through various training programs but I am too short, unfortunately. I think the minimum height during my time was 5ft 4in and I am one inch short *sigh*

Just now, I stumbled upon the website of the International Air and Hospitality Academy where people STUDY to be flight attendants and other careers in the travel industry and I can’t help but lament at my own missed chances due to that missing inch in height!

Can you believe that my cousin, Jasmine, who went to live and work in London almost ten years ago is still not familiar with the London restaurants? I was discussing with her the kind of food that she could get in London since she has been complaining of missing Malaysian food but she said that she only knows about those that are near her apartment and workplace. How can that be and how will she take me around when I visit her?

I asked a couple of friends who are familiar with London and they told me that Jasmine should check the Hardens online guide to London restaurants. I checked it out myself and noticed that Hardens Restaurant Guide is very comprehensive directory where we can search for London restaurants by location, price or cuisine.

Jasmine had better make full use of this London restaurant online guide first so that she can take me around during my first visit to London. It has been a long time since she left and it would be like old times once again. I can’t wait!

I was surprised that a Greek vacation could be so affordable and would not bust our holiday budget too. I have always thought that it would be expensive being so far away but I was wrong!

Now that I know Greece a little better from my research online, Greece is now high up in my places to visit!

If you are visiting London anytime from now until April, 2008, then you must check out the interesting exhibition that is being held at the British Museum of China’s first emperor and the terracotta army titled The First Emperor Exhibition: China’s Terracotta Warriors

London, as always, is jam-packed with tourists and locals and with a raving exhibition going on like this, if you are heading that way and would like to attend this exhibition of China’s first emperor, you will have to plan ahead and make accommodation and ticket reservations.

Superbreak is a company that specializes in short breaks whether it’s for a cultural show, concert, exhibition, theater or even shopping.

For this exhibition of China’s first emperor, they are offering a very attractive hotel and ticket package that includes hotel accommodation in London and an entrance ticket to the exhibition. I think that Superbreak is best for people who are running on a tight schedule and yet would like to pack in as many activities into their lives as possible.

I was checking out on the internet for Oahu vacation information earlier today for my sister because she has plans to take a break there for a couple of weeks. Well, I thought that two weeks in Hawaii would be too long and she may end up staying in because she has done everything there is to do for a tourist but I was wrong.

I discovered from a Hawaii travel blog that there are so many things that one could experience during a holiday in Hawaii and I wrote them down for my sister. I am sure she would appreciate the research that I have done for her!

I also came across Oahu vacation rentals that are being offered by Hawaiian Beach Rentals. Did you know that this company has a wide array of vacation rentals in the lovely islands of Hawaii? If you are planning a vacation in Hawaii, let me tell you that vacation rentals is the way to go and you would be sorry for not checking those that are available from Hawaiian Beach Rentals!

When a friend told me that she has just returned from a vacation in Hawaii, let’s just say, I was very envious! I have wanted to make a trip to Hawaii because it’s high time I take a break away from work but I just seem to get more and more responsibilities piled up!

According to my friend who spent a week in Hawaii and stayed at one of the beautiful Kauai condos, everyone should get a holiday in Hawaii in his lifetime and I fully agree!

I have read much on Hawaii vacation info and Hawaii is like a paradise on earth. I used to think that being so far away, it would be a very expensive trip but my friend said that it’s not as expensive as she thought!

She managed to fit her trip well within budget and was very happy that she planned this trip so well thanks to information that she got from a Kauai Travel Blog. I think that’s a wise thing to do, to plan a trip well in advance so that every minute of the holiday will be well spent.
