All Inclusive Caribbean Vacation

I was helping my friend look for the ultimate honeymoon vacation just now and came upon SuperClubs. You see, my friends know that I spend too much time online and SHOULD know about the latest trends but I still have to search for the information.

SuperClubs offers all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Jamaica which means to say, the honeymooning couple will just have to pay for the vacation and present themselves. Everything else will be taken care of by the vacation experts at SuperClubs.

I told my friend about it and they can’t even decide if they should do an all inclusive Jamaica or a conventional holiday like Disneyland but I thought they said they wanted an ULTIMATE experience. Hhhmmpp!!!

Well, I figure, even if they do not take up my suggestion, my research isn’t wasted because an all inclusive resorts Caribbean sounds just as good for my parents’ wedding anniversary next year! Check out the activities that are included and the prices are great too!

A Hawaiian Eco-Tour Excursion

A friend directed me to a travel Hawaii blog and vacation site where he said he just booked a holiday package with that comes with Hawaii beach front accommodation.

She showed me the website because she wanted me to check out how beautiful Hawaii is. She should know as she has been on a Hawaiian eco-tour before and this will be her second vacation on an Hawaiian island.

She did invite me to tag along this time but it is unfortunate that I am unable to take time off due to work commitments so I am not surprised that she is now trying to entice me with the fascinating photos of Hawaii and hope that I could just leave everything behind and fly off to Hawaii for the real holiday experience!

I am taken aback by the crystal clear Hawaiian ocean which is so inviting! I hope that I could get away for a short while and join my friend in her eco-tour excursion on the beautiful islands of Hawaii!

Booking A Hotel In Amsterdam

I mentioned before that I have a Dutch friend, Niencke, who has been urging me to visit her in Amsterdam. At first, I was rather reluctant to go because of the cost. It is never cheap to travel to another continent but she has sad that it does not cost that much, except that I am not able to bunk with her. Well, I too need the freedom, anyway.

Niencke told me about the website EuroBookings.com where one could Book a hotel in Amsterdam for cheap. Well, I have gotta believe Niencke since she s local and know the rates more than I do.

She told me that IF I were really on a tight budget, I could even get a room for less than Euro20 and in Amsterdam itself too. I checked the hotels out on EuroBookings.com and find it easy to search for hotels that fit my schedule and budget. I could sort the listings by reviews, rating, name, stars and also popularity.

Although I have used quite a few similar websites, EuroBookings.com is one of the rare ones to offer many images and views of the hotels available. I really like it because I cam make sure this is the hotel I really like to stay in. I am not one for surprises!

Thinking Of A Golf Vacation?

I just came across a website for anyone who is thinking of a myrtle beach golf vacation. Coastal Golfaway, which is owned by the PGA Professional, William J. McGraw, Jr., offers some of the best golfing vacation packages to the Myrtle Beach area and Wilmington.

Booking your golf vacation through Coastal Golfaway, golfers only have to pay a low of $749 per person. In any case, it is great to be able to check out the current offers page to keep updated with the new rates.

You could also check out the rates according to the season and your travel dates or get one of those custom packages where the golfing vacation will be tailored to your needs.

Not only does the website allows online booking, one could also make an online payment by credit card. Getting a golfing vacation has never been this easy.

From London to Sydney

My father’s business associate arrived from London the other day, en route to Sydney, Australia for a business conference. He told us that he booked his hotel room via the internet from CheaperThanHotels.com. Well, he does not look that internet savvy but thankfully, his secretary knows where to look for cheap Hotels in Sydney for him.

Sydney is a very vibrant business city where many travelers go to daily. This British man thought that he would not be able to book a decent hotel at a bargain since it was a last minute decision to attend the conference and was delighted to know that CheaperThanHotels.com caters to travelers who booked in advance as well as those who book at the last minute like him.

Normally, last minute travelers would be charged higher but that was not the case with CheaperThanHotels.com, thankfully!

News From Lawrence In Torrevieja

Not too long ago, I wrote about my friend who will be posted to Spain to work. The bad news for me is that he has already left Malaysia but the good news for him is that he has left early to pack in a Spanish holiday before starting work! My, how he is enjoying his holidays. I have already received quite a few postcards, SMS text and email messages from him from each Spanish city that he stopped by, the latest is Torrevieja, a beautiful coastal town.

Lawrence said that could easily be the largest salt producing city in the world, thanks to the surrounding salt lakes. Each salt mountain reminds him of our little private joke about him being saltish. He sent me some photos of the salt lakes and they really look great although I can’t taste them. I have been told that salt water like this is great for health and skin disease could also be cured if one were to dip in the lake.

I am promised more photos and I am even hoping for some videos as well.

Lawrence told me that although he will be based in Madrid, he will get to travel to some other Spanish cities as part of his job and he is looking forward to head this way of Costa Blanca. He told me that the city’s name means “Old tower” and he did see some towers which add to the attraction of the city. One thing that surprised him was the large British and Irish community. He did not know why there were so many of them though, but the pubs and entertainment spots vibrantly cater to them!

Lawrence told me to quickly put aside my job and responsibility and look him up in Madrid so that we can go to Torrevieja for dip in the salt lakes. I will have to think about it first!

Easy To Book Barcelona Hotels

My cousin wanted to go to Barcelona, Spain from London for the Summer. She asked me if I know of a website where she could easily book a good, clean hotel in Barcelona at the lowest possible rate. I, of course, have a ready answer because I have heard of Easy To Book< before. Off hand, I could tell her that Barcelona hotels that are right smack in the center of the city can be booked for less than $130 per night, like Hotel Lleo and but she should know that prices vary slightly on different dates because hotel bookings are seasonal. My cousin was very excited because she has been dreaming of a holiday in Barcelona since the Olympics were held in the city in 1992. She said that this time, she would be able to visit the city and all the Barcelona tourist attractions that she saw on TV during the games. With EasyToBook.com, she could plan her holiday budget better because the website allows her to search for the best Barcelona hotel rates.
