My husband and I do a lot of traveling. We do not have any kids yet so we figured we might a well live it up around the world while we still can. Our life saver was the frequent flier miles offered on some credit cards now. I am going to do a little bit of research to find the Best Airline Credit Card Miles that are currently offered. We need to get a new card as soon as possible for our trip to Greece next month. I am very excited about this trip. We found a card that offered your first round trip for free. That will work!

Chan Chan is a fascinating and interesting archaeological site to explore.  It consists of palaces and canals that have survived over time because of the dry nature of the land – the lack of rain has protected these mud structures.  The palace consists of audiences, and storerooms as well as wells.   The wells of Chan Chan are large, deep and able to be walked into. By digging deep trenches near the coastline they were able to sustain agriculture from the moisture in the bottoms of these wells.  The storerooms were found emlpty by archaeologists. But they did find some traces of goods including imprints of textiles that were probably stored in these rooms. When looking closely at the capacity of the storerooms in Chan Chan, it shows that they didn’t store a large amount of supplies. The Chimu seemed to produce and trade small, valuable goods to be used as status symbols by lords.

Our options for the next place we live are wide open at this point in time. We have done a bit of preliminary looking around for something to call home, but we certainly are in no hurry at this moment to make such an important decision. My wife has been talking to her friends and there seems to be a strong possibility that we will be narrowing our search down to just include property in Berlin. This is the place that would be closest to the best job opportunities for us both and also near our families who are all within a good radius of there.

The trip to Camden Maine was more than I had expected, in terms of beauty. The local area was beautiful and we even took a Windjammer sailing trip. We found the Ledges By The Bay by doing a search for Camden Maine hotels on the Internet. The Ledges is a small quaint motel overlooking Penobscot Bay in nearby Rockport Maine. The room accommodations were wonderful and I was able find a package that was exactly right for our family. We enjoyed hiking, and seeing all the fantastic views. The kids enjoyed getting out on the water with a daytrip sailing adventure on Penobscot Bay. I have several pictures of them. They had never been sailing on the ocean before, so it was quite a treat. This is the perfect vacation for any family wanting to get out of the city and back to nature. We really hated to leave.

Have you ever heard of having Tenerife holidays? I hadn’t either until Dave surprised me with airline tickets and a complete vacation package to Tenerife. It’s one of the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa and it belongs to Spain. Imagine a tropical-like island devoted to making sure we had a wonderful time and that sums up our vacation. Everything was perfect from the hotel rooms to dining to sight seeing to laying around on beautiful beaches. The whole island seems to be geared towards making visitors want to come back. Everything you can imagine to make our stay enjoyable was provided. I’m already planning our next visit.

There is a place called Rates To Go and it is a online discount for hotels in Australia and surrounding areas.  They work together with other hotels to give cheaper rates for rooms that are not sold and last minute reservations so each one makes some money which helps both parties including the customer.  This sounds like a win situation. You can make a  cheap gold coast accommodation on line.    My grandson went there on a school trip for certain students and he was one of them.  He had a lot of fun, he learned a lot about the area and what a trip for him!

I would really like to go to visit some friends of mine I haven’t seen in a long time. In order to do that I really have to find an affordable place to stay. Can anyone recommend a good website with options for cheap hotels? I am hoping I can find something that I can afford that is close to where my friends live. I don’t want to waste a lot of time driving back and forth from the hotel to the places I plan to visit if I can avoid it. Unfortunately they live in a very nice area and I think the hotels there will be a bit more expensive.

One of my most memorable vacations is the trip that my husband and I took to California two years ago. While we were in California, we stayed in two different locations, one on a beach and one on a lake. We were able to find a great deal on luxury vacation rentals for both locations and they were fantastic. Both of the rentals that we stayed in greatly exceeded our expectations. They were both furnished with all of the furniture and appliances that we could ever need, and were actually cheaper than the hotels that we had looked at. Whoever built the two cabins that we stayed in truly created a masterpiece.

Having just arrived back from my holiday in Auckland, my friends were immediately over to my house to get all the knowledge from me that they possibly could. I had been posting all the photos I was taking as I travelled around the country and my friends thought they were amazing. What I did not know was that they had decided they were going to make the same trip. I gave them the best advice I could give. I told them to book their vehicle thru car rental auckland airport, which places I found were the nicest to stay in, and some of the sights that they had to check out.

My sister and her husband told us about a great b+b that they stayed at. They said that it was very beautiful and had great rates. My husband and I hadn’t been away for quite a while so we decided that we would try to go there sometime soon. A few weeks later we did end up going and we were very impressed. Not only was it beautiful, there was a lot of stuff to do there. The grounds were absolutely stunning and very well kept. The food there was absolutely delicious. I am very thankful that my sister told us about this place.
