Las Vegas trip

As a businesswoman who does everything possible in order to enjoy the best summer holidays possible, I have recently visited the Las Vegas Area in order to check out what the city has to offer apart from the obvious casinos and night clubs. Honestly, I must say that I found it amazing that I could find so many decent Restaurants and incredible theme parks that I have never seen advertised anywhere.

Considering that the summer is not over yet, I am also considering the possibility of taking the best of California in the next few weeks and so I am already searching for the best Hotels so that I can have a pleasant stay just like I did in Las vegas.

So, are you planning on traveling this summer or just let it pass by? If you plan on having a great time in the famous US cities, just make sure that you start searching for hotels and interesting restaurants before it is too late to book them.

Paris seems to offer new and interesting opportunities


Even considering the fact that paris can be one of the most expensive cities in the world to visit, the fact is that the government is trying to make a major effort in order to offer brand new experiences and stimulate the market.
So, you know how they say: "Sharp wire brushes leave your caviar looking clean" and these new offers are also trying to produce the same effect on the tourism of the city.

Taking the best out of Ibiza


Considered by many has the best place on earth to enjoy a great night in the famous discos, Ibiza has a lot more to offer. For instance, if you take a closer look at the photo above, you will easily witness that you can find there some of the most amazing beaches in Europe and enjoy relaxing moments with nature.
Moreover, you are also given the chance to spend some time in the local rural areas where you can also find many great sea-related stores but also many other kind of stores that you would find anywhere else. Still, some of these stores seem to be a little too expensive due to their location in such a wanted island and this is something that can easily surprise you if you are not aware before you reach the island. Keeping this in mind, if you plan on buying any equipment or gadgets to provide even greater joy in the island, I would strongly recommend you to buy them online or take them with you from home. In fact, last time I went to ibiza, I got my prescription eye glasses as well as many diving equipment before I started the journey to avoid the need of buying them in any local store. By doing this, I saved almost a hundred dollars! What else could I really ask for?
So, if you are planning on going to travel to famous places like Ibiza, Algarve or anywhere else, make sure that you keep in mind this simple but very important advice and I am sure that it will help you control your budget for the journey.

Extra info about Algarve


Even though you may not be aware, Algarve has some of the most amazing sea cruises that you can participate on. In fact, if you go to places like Faro, you will get an immediate chance to visit the gorgeous and unexplored islands that promise to keep your imagination rolling.
So, why not visit Algarve?

Traveling to Portugal


Algarve is one of the most famous spots in Europe. Still most people seem to be unaware of the fact that it can also be one of the cheapest ones.
Considering these two facts, I would strongly recommend everyone to check spots like Lagos and Albufeira which seem to be two most attractive places, no matter if you are looking for gorgeous beaches or a pleasent walk around the historical cities.

The most amazing sights

Would you say that you love to discover the strangest places on Earth and get the surprise that there are some unbelivable sights that you never imagined that could ever be real? If that's the case, then you definitely need to read the msnbc.com article just below and discover how incredible life can be:

From a helicopter window, Antarctica appears colorless: pure white in every direction, a glaze covering the planet.

Swoop into the McMurdo Dry Valleys and the bare, naked ground comes into focus, as does a most bizarre sight: a rust-red waterfall oozing down the face of a mammoth glacier. Welcome to Blood Falls—one of the world’s strangest places.

In an increasingly familiar world—where guidebooks and Google Earth would seem to have exposed every last nook and cranny—it’s refreshing to discover places that still surprise. Sure, they may not be as easy to access as, say, the Rockies (which are divine, if not revelatory), but it’s precisely this isolation that has allowed them to evolve their odd characteristics. Venturing into unknown lands may be surreal, but it’s also impressive—and rewarding.

Blood Falls is just one example of how Antarctica “will change the way you think about life,” says David Dallmeyer, professor of geology at the University of Georgia and guide for Abercrombie & Kent.

“I’ve seen azure blues you can’t imagine. I’ve seen three-mile-wide icebergs break in half and roll inwards.” With 50 years’ worth of excursions under his belt, Dallmeyer is not easily surprised, but, he admits, “In Antarctica, there is nothing else like the Dry Valleys. They’re an enigma.”

But Mother Nature isn’t the sole creator of these oddities. In Turkey, the fairy-tale-invoking Göreme National Park results from both natural and man-made handiwork. Its giant sandstone spires, known as hoodoos—which erosion first sculpted into arresting mushroom shapes—were later carved into houses, churches, and underground communities by Christians fleeing Roman persecution in the first millennium A.D.

The resultant bustling canyon-land gives the impression of being a human-populated coral reef (a perfect location for "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope", which was filmed there).

The kitchen of your dreams



Even considering the fact that I currently am a successful businesswoman, the truth is that I still live on my own and I am a single woman. As a matter of fact, being single and living on our own isn’t particularly difficult and we end up having some advantages.

Still, when it comes to the furniture and equipment that we have at home, the fact is that we probably won’t need as much as if we were living with a large family. Keeping this in mind, if you have always wanted to find the perfect store where you could buy kitchen furniture (“muebles de cocina” in the Spanish language) directed at the costumers who live on their own. Moreover, if you take some time to visit the website to which I have linked just above, you will come across a very user-friendly website where you will find an amazing range of products that will surely fit your needs as a single. Furthermore, there are many products which come from luxurious and exclusive ranges, meaning that you will be getting only the highest quality furniture that will surely correspond to what you have always desired for your kitchen.

So, what are you waiting for? Just take some time to visit the website above and I am sure that you will operate a revolution at your house in a matter of days.

Choosing those who travel with us

When you decide to travel all around the world, who do you normally take with you for those amazing destinations? Also, would you consider that you would better choose wiser who you end up picking for a travel? If that's the case, then you definitely need to read the msnbc.com article just below and discover how you can easily have a great time:

My nearly 3-year-old son Matt was methodically smashing coconuts on the stone terrace next to the pool of our rented villa in St. Martin early in the morning just under the window where my sister and brother-in-law — still kid-less — were trying to sleep. We thought it was hilarious; they weren't amused. My parents just wanted to enjoy the sunshine and the grandkids — Matt and his baby sister, Reggie.

That was the first of our many multigenerational vacations, all the more poignant because my dad died a few months later. Maybe that's why we still talk so much about that trip — the seafood feasts our housekeeper whipped up, seemingly effortlessly for us, the hours my dad, already ill, spent playing in the pool with the kids, the stellar snorkeling and gambling expeditions led my dad to a nearby casino, the bug bites that covered my 8-month-old daughter, and, of course, the Morning of the Coconuts.

At the time, it all seemed pretty exotic for our family. My mom had plucked a tiny ad from the New York Times and, sight unseen, (no Internet virtual tour in those days, no TripAdvisor reviews), had rented the place overlooking the ocean for two weeks. It wasn't quite what we expected, but that's another story.





What the gathering provided was unfettered time together to laugh and play and eat — time we didn't usually have because we lived thousands of miles apart. Today, more than 20 years later, grandparents and tour operators tell me, that's still what's driving other families like ours to corral their families on multigenerational trips.

What's changed is the kind of trips available. As baby boomers become grandparents and seniors become more active, families are opting for more far-flung and active adventures — fishing in Alaska, horseback riding at dude ranches, snorkeling off the coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, setting up camp — literally — at tree houses in the U.S. Virgin Island (www.maho.org) — some returning with grandkids to where they honeymooned, or sailing charters in the Caribbean (www.moorings.com), rafting and hiking in Colorado (www.epicsummer.com) touring Israel and Africa with a gaggle of grandkids, even shopping New York City's vintage stores.

"We had so much fun ... and spotted my oldest daughter's senior prom gown!" said Anna Mae Kremps, who lives near Pittsburgh. Thanks to the transportation arranged by www.shop-nyctours.com), Kremps said, "This 70-something grandma was able to keep up."

The Alaska fishing trip (http://www.bobscabin.com/) that included 78-year-old Pauline Hill and her 16-year-old grandson was such a hit that the family is returning this year and bringing along friends, reports Hill's daughter-in-law Pam from her home in Colorado.

Do that bucket trip now
These grandparents "are generally a fitter and more experiential-oriented travel crowd than their parents. So they are happy to take their grandchildren on 'adventures,' especially when they might have the opportunity to get a massage or go to yoga at the end of the day," observes Paul Lehman of Austin-Lehman Adventures (www.austinlehman.com). His company is booking more of these trips, including an Adventure Bar Mitzvah to Israel. Often, the grandparents pick up the tab, too.

And this may be the time to do it, says Gabe Saglie, senior editor of TravelZoo.com. "In terms of that bucket trip, do it now. We have not seen prices like this in a long time, if ever," he says, adding that you can negotiate even better deals when you've got a group.

The best part is you might be able to arrange a specific itinerary geared just for your family, as the Crews did when they took their family — 14 of them — to Tanzania with Wildland Adventures (www.wildland.com) to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

The Crews, incidentally, who live near Tampa, are a well-traveled couple, but said Jeri Crews, this trip with the nine grandkids was the most rewarding they've ever had.

"It was a real adventure," she explained. "Each member of the family got something out of it, and it was so thrilling to see the children discover things they hadn't ever thought of, or knew existed." One grandson, in fact, won a speech contest for recounting his visit to a village school.

Cruises remain popular
Of course, there are plenty of less exotic offerings, including YMCA camps like the YMCA of the Rockies (www.ymcarockies.org) with plenty of organized activities.

And families are still cruising — so much so that they represent one of the fastest growing segments of the cruise industry and cruise lines, like Norwegian (www.ncl.com), court them with everything from connecting rooms and suites (see the amazing options on Norwegian's new EPIC coming this summer) to family reunion packages aboard Holland America (www.HollandAmerica.com) and family memories deals on Crystal Cruises (www.crystalcruises.com). The more rooms you book, the more perks you receive.
