I read on one of my friends’ blog that he is addicted to Las Vegas. Hehe I shall not disclose who because this is such a small world. However, I will just say that this guy writes about gambling A LOT. It is just that he did not disclose WHERE.

I asked him about his trips to Vegas and he says that although he could always cover his expenses with his winnings at the casino, he will feel guilty about paying more than he should for accommodation. He said that he could always get best priced Las Vegas Hotels from websites like Best of Vegas and see no point not to take advantage of something that is beneficial to him.

I checked out Best of Vegas just a minute ago and noted that they are able to provide the traveler with some of the best Vegas deals. If you are heading that way, you really should do the same and save a little money here and there!

My sister asked me this question the other day. As if I know? She is the one going in and out of Disney World in Orlando, Florida! Not me. But I remember reading about Orlando Fun Tickets, a website that offers Discount Walt Disney World Tickets to holiday makers to Orlando, Florida.

Not only do they offer discounted tickets to Disney World, they also have cheaper tickets for many theme parks and places of interest in Orlando, Florida. If you are going for a holiday alone, then you may think that the discount is not much but if you re going with a group of friends or with family, then the savings is a big welcome, believe me!

I told my sister about Orlando Fun Tickets and the kind of tickets that she could get. Can you imagine that going through Orlando Fun Tickets, you can even get them cheaper than getting them directly from the gate?

My friend, Paul, told me that if I ever plan to take up his invitation to visit him in, there would be plenty of New York City Hotels that would suit my budget.

Out of curiosity just now, I visited the website of NewYorkHotels.com that I came to know of earlier this morning. This is a website where prospective visitors to New York would be able to find accommodation in and around New York City that caters to all kinds of visitors.

I was glad that NewYorkHotels.com offer rooms with deep discounts and they also have a lowest price guarantee which means that if we can find a similar room for the same holiday period at a lower price, they would match that price or cancel our reservation if they are unable to match it.

NewYorkHotels.com also provides information on places of interest in New York and this would be useful to people heading that way, especially first timers.

I have always wanted to visit Italy after getting to know an Italian boy when we were both students. Well, he said that what I watch on TV is just a small part of life in Italy and there are still many things about the people and country that I could discover only if I am there personally. Of course, the sights and sounds of Italy cannot be captured on film and have to be experienced for real!

As a preliminary research, I went to Trip take to check out the hotels of various popular Italian cities. If you have been to Italy, I am sure that you would have visited a few cities well known cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence.

Right now, I cannot even decide which Italian cities I will be visiting but I did check on a Florence hotel because my friend told me that Florence is a city that I MUST visit! OK!!

My sister, meanwhile, told me to check out Venice. How can I forget the beautiful Venice hotel that she stayed in during her Italian vacation? I may have only seen photographs of it but it left a lasting impression on me.

Since I was already on TripTake, I decided to compare a couple of Napoli hotels. If you remember, my friend told me that I should not only look for cheap hotels but also user ratings. This is very important to determine how satisfied guests are with that particular hotel.

I noticed that the most popular Verona hotel as listed o TripTake.com is way cheaper than the other top hotels of other cities. Perhaps this calls for a reservation from me. I love cheap, remember?

While I have no definite plans to visit intriguing Italy, at least after browsing through Triptake, I now have a fair idea of what to set my budget for a satisfactory and memorable vacation to Italy!

My friend, Fatty, asked me if I like to plan for a holiday. I said no, because when I can get away for a holiday, it is always a last minute trip and you know how last minute reservations for EVERYTHING can be, right?

However, I am not a frequent traveler so when it comes to planning for a vacation, I cannot compare to him. Fatty plans ALL his family vacations to a T and all his wife and children have to do is to enjoy themselves.

Fatty also asked me what I look for in my hotels. Frankly, when it comes to accommodation, five star hotels are way out of my budget, so what I look for in my hotels are just cleanliness, amenities, location and of course the low rates.

Fatty told me that I should also check out reviews of hotels and user ratings. Just like when he made hotel reservations for an Italian holiday where he read through the reviews of a Rome hotel which he eventually booked and also a Milan hotel based on user ratings. The more people who are satisfied enough with a hotel to take the trouble to get online to rate it, the higher points it will score in Fatty’s book.

This year end, Fatty plans to take his family to London because a cousin is getting married. Can you believe that he has already started doing his comparison research on London hotels right now and it is only just February?

I teased him about it but he said that this is what I should do for my trip to Paris too! He said that I should not simply make reservations for a Paris hotel just because it is cheap. Well, I don’t know. I can’t even spare the time to do such a thorough research. Perhaps I can solicit Fatty’s help since he seems to enjoy vacation planning and he seems to have all the time in the world to do so!

A friend wanted ideas on where to spend her honeymoon. She knows that I may not have been on a honeymoon before but I have seen more than my fair share of travel websites!

I wanted to let her know about the cruise that a friend went on but I ended up telling her about a Cancun Vacation that I recently read of. You see, the all-inclusive Cancun vacations that are being offered by Karisma Hotels and Resorts are just the kind of honeymoon vacation that I wan to go one.

Since it is all-inclusive, I know that my friend would enjoy it better as she would not have to plan the holiday b herself. Who has the time to plan when all we want to do is rest and relax, right?

The kind of holiday that one could get through Karisma is like a lifetime romantic adventure that will be long remembered and the good thing is that it is not that expensive!

Many of my friends love going to Florida for a vacation. I asked if they get bored but they told me that Florida, especially Orlando, has so many new attractions yearly that even if you visit the city a few times a year, there is always something new to see.

A very popular tourist attraction in Florida is SeaWorld. Did you know that you can buy your Seaworld Tickets at a discount from Orlando Fun Tickets?

I was told that although visiting Florida is not expensive, they have so many theme parks and entertainment places that require a ticket and that is why if you can source for cheap tickets, your vacation will be all the more meaningful since you can use the savings to visit more places! Don’t you think so?

Although I have not the chance to visit SeaWorld yet, it is definitely high up on my list of places to go to!
