California Delta is water recreation paradise

First-time California visitors traveling southbound on the freeway sometimes are taken aback when, just about the time they reach Stockton, they see a big ocean-going freighter that seems a little like a whale swimming in your local river. After driving hundreds of miles down California’s hot, dry interior, it just doesn’t compute that there should be a ship anywhere even close. Read more »

The first time I heard of friends staying in Dubai was probably two years ago. They told me there are plenty of    Cheap Dubai Hotels to choose from, and the holiday worked out cheaper than a European destination – with more reliable weather. They got a good rates by using a new hotel booking site called cheaperthanhotels.com.  This is a good destination for finding last minute discounts as well as the best rates at some of the World’s most expensive and exclusive hotels .

Some time ago I worked for an international company with offices in the Middle East so I knew quite a few Expats in United Arab Emirates UAE and they spoke highly of UAE as a  placeto live and work, many of them really missed it when they had to return to their home country. Friends and family were able to visit cheaply by booking their rooms through cheaperthanhotels.

There is another new player – Abu Dhabi. Here again, the site has a big choice of Abu Dhabi Accommodation for business travellers and holidaymakers so the option of booking your air ticket and accommodation at good rates is a realistic one.

There Is No Reason Anyone Should Buy a Timeshare

Why the hell do people buy timeshares? I mean you pay anywhere from $5000 to $150,000 for these properties that you can only stay at 1 to 2 times yearly…oh and sometimes you can buy a fractional one and only be allowed to go there every other year! Then when you get sick of going to your new purchase probably after the 1st or 2nd year if you want to go somewhere else you have to pay a transfer fee to transfer your week so you can enjoy a new destination. On top of all that crap you have to pay a yearly maintenance fee for the ownership privilege that you “had to have”. Am I crazy or Am I missing something here? The only thing that you own are the bills! Read more »

All kinds of holidays in Britain are set for a bumper season this Summer, thanks to the weak £ and the dreaded recession. So anyone running holiday accommodation should start sprucing the place up now!

The south west is a favourite with the Brits and overseas visitors alike, caravan holidays in Devon attract plenty of visitors from Germany and Holland. Make sure you choose your travel time carefully in peak season as the roads are very very busy!

For anyone who likes to take planty of luggage, going on holiday in a caravan in the UK makes a lot of sense. You can pack all your stuff in the van, hook it on to the car and off you go – no need to unpack at the other end, and your case is not going to be sent to the other side of the world without you.

The other group who are likely to be booking caravan holidays in the UK are dog owners.  Once we got a dog ourselves we took all our holidays in the England, as a result we had a fantastic time in Devon. If we did not have a pet we would probably have gone abroad, and would never have discovered all the beautiful places in the West country.  You do not need to have your own caravan, there are plenty of sites where you simply book a fixed mobile home for the length of your stay, just turn up and start enjoying the beautiful English countryside.
