A long time ago, I used to know an Italian boy, Luca. He invited me to visit him and his family but I never did manage to make that trip. Soon after, we lost touch due to life and work. I have always regretted missing the chance and told myself that should I go, I would want the guidance of local Italians because nobody knows the country as well as someone born and bred there.

I recently found out that Rome, which is the capital city of Italy, is one of the top vacation destinations for Malaysians. I wonder if they have a problem with the differences in our language but I guess that with a comprehensive Rome accommodation guide like RomaClick.com, we would not get lost!

I just checked out RomaClick.com an hour ago and there are Rome hotels that are hand picked by Mauro and Paola for tourists who are planning to visit Rome. If hotels is not what you are looking for then perhaps Rome apartments would suit you. Or is Bed & Breakfast your kind of accommodation?

Whatever accommodation you fancy, if it is featured on RomaClick.com, you can be sure that it is value for your money. Quality comes first for Mauro and Paola!

My friend, Warren, who lives in Gold Coast, once again invites me to visit him. Yes, I know that he and his wife bought a house and they are dying to show off to me!! Jokes aside, he said that I would be getting the most out of my vacation if I do not follow a tour group. He said that he and his wife could be my tour guides and we could go on a road trip. That sounds too awesome to turn down!

According to Warren, there are cheap hotels in Australia that we could put up with along the way. Of course Gold Coast hotels are more expensive but then we would not have a need for a hotel there because his house is large enough for an extra guest!

I am so envious of Warren to have the chance to live in one of the best places in Queensland; Gold Coast, and within driving distance to tranquil places like Noosa and Cairns. Warren promises that we can drive to those places as well because driving in Australia is a breeze. There is no traffic jam or road rage like we know here in Malaysia, especially in Kuala Lumpur.

Warren says that if I could give him the go ahead, he would look for cheap Noosa hotels for the three of us. He would also have to look for affordable Cairns hotels. From the website of Cheaper Than Hotels, these come with plenty of free inclusions!!

I thought that it would be fun to drive through the great Australian Outback but Warren says that it would need plenty of planning ahead because of the permits and permission from the landowners. He said that for my first visit, I should better stick to sealed roads.
