And the discounts are a real discounts, unlike here, price are increased and then they put a label on it, says that the stuff are discounted. However the final price after discount applied will be the same as the price before increased!

Also public transport in London is great and some says that it is one of the most affordable and reliable public transportation in whole world.

Since I'm living in a tropical country a sub zero degree-vacation is nearly impossible, there are few place here that have such degree that would be the highest mountain here and I won't go there because it needs around a week hiking .. wheew.


So, watching sub zero degree movie like 'Vertical Horizon' and 'Cliffhanger' and surfing on the net for ski vacation places like holidaywhistler.com has been my hobbies eversince. And if I have a chance and budget to visit and enjoy the snow and ski sport, I likely will visit holidaywhistler.com that provides Whistler accommodation as they stated in their pages.

The page provide a comprehension Whistler Lodging search and Whistler Accomodation Search to ease those who want to spend their holiday find their favorite place to spend on in the holiday at Whistler.

Vienna, Berlin, Munich attractions and Hotels

Although there are time and money constraints, traveling abroad is a fun and educating hobby. A lot of people from different country visiting other country are aiming to learn a many new thing, including cultur, language and history of certain country they are visiting to.


Talk about traveling, there are many countries/cities in my mind when it is about traveling or vacation. Here some of its:

  • Vienna, I love its attraction such as Schonbrunn palace, Hofburg and Heldenplatz. There are many museums in Hofburg, including iron-armours museum, painting museums, and so on. Also there are attractions inside the Hofburg palace itself that is located in the center of the city.
  • Berlin, surely is rich-attractions city, Pergamon Museum, Brandenburge Gates, Schloss Charlottenburg, Reichstag, Potsdamer Platz, Kulturforum are just fraction of its attraction. Night life also another option to mix and mangle with locals.
  • Munich, Munich attractions are Marienplatz, Rathaus-Glokenspiel, Olympic village, Schloss Nymphenburg. Munich is a beautiful city that rich of history. And its another thing to learn from it.


when it is came to a hotel needs, surely I can find many affordable Wien hotels, hotels in Berlin, hotels in Muenchen or hotels in Deutschland in common.

Hang around in London and Dublin

I love travelling, although some say that it's a time and money consuming hobby, but for me it's a memorable moment to visit many places and learn and interact socially with locals. And I will do anything to getaway from home and visit places that I've never visited it before.


I always want to go to London, because my sister in law has lived there once, and told me how great is London. She told many tourist destination that worth visited such as Tower of London and British Museum and also British Airways London Eye. But she also warn me to spend money and time wisely there If I go there, and suggest me to stay in one of the inexpensive London Hotels, and if it's needed she wants me to make online hotel reservation before I go to London.


Dublin is the next place in my mind If I could visit London, inspired by Harisson Ford and Brad Pitt movie, "Devil's Own" I really want to be there sometime, I love their English accent, it's very difficult to understand though. I'm sure there are many good but not so-expensive Dublin Hotels for me to stay, and I would prefer hotel near downtown so in the night I can mix and mingle with the locals.


You see? Although it's really time and money consuming, I will memorize the moment an all my live .. If I could REALLY go there..

Someday we'll visit Spain

December has gone, left me and family behind. I did not go anywhere for vacation in December, wife and son need it thou, but there's no budget for it.


When I was child, there was a place in mind to visit, which was Spain. And as I grow older, the obsession is still here in my mind, although with different orientation. The place we visit must be a family friendly place.


For hotels, I definitely will trust it to my friend's site, cheaperthanhotels.co.uk, that has established working arrangements with leading hotel chains and thousands of hotels across the globe through its association, to meet the accommodation needs of travellers at the most competitive rates and the highest ethical standards.


Place to visit may be Spain, but it can be changed later as family grow.


Barcelona will be the first stop in Spain, we will stay in Barcelona Las Ramblas Hotels and mix and mingle with locals in the night. Zoo in Parc Ciutadella will make my son happy, he loves animal so much. Also Poble Espanyol that according from what I've read is an odd place, but it's interesting.


 

The next stop is maybe Alicante, there are also many inexpensive Alicante Hotels, And we'd love to visit Benidorm to, and feel how sensational is living in cozy Benidorm Hotels, but maybe I must leave my child in hotel when I am watching free cabaret acts.


Costa Brava and Costa del Sol also are very interesting place to visit, rocky cliffs, sandy beaches etcetera are waiving tourists to visit, but first we must book one of the cozy Costa Brava Hotels or Costa Del Sol Hotels, and ensure that we have a good room's view, hence we will not boring inside the hotel.

  • Leave copies of itinerary and passport data page: Leave copies of your itinerary, passport data page and visas with family or friends, so you can be contacted in case of an emergency.
  • Check your overseas medical insurance coverage: Ask your medical insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider supplemental insurance.
