I wish I could find a really good discount cruise. My fiance won’t travel on planes so boats are really the only way we can get abroad and looking out the window right now I would love nothing more because there’s nothing but snow snow snow as far as the eyes can see and there’s no sign of it stopping. The temp is set to drop really low tonight as well, as low as -10 even! Brr. Takes me somewhere warm.
I am going to York for the first time in a few weeks to do a little Christmas shopping and I can’t wait, I love taking photos and there are some beautiful sights to see in York. Hardly any metal buildings in sight, it’s all brick and stunning old architecture. I am most looking forward to seeing the castle on the hill and the cathedral 
I am looking at Branson vacation packages online at the moment. I wish it were for me but alas no it is not, we’re not due another vacation for ages now sadly. I was looking on behalf of my parents who are planning a trip out there to visit friends over the Christmas period. I said I would help them find a good bargain
I think I am going to spend a few hours this evening looking for some good travel deals, I am craving a holiday like crazy at the moment. It’s a long time since we had a proper break, we have spent the odd night away in the last year but no more than that. I think the last proper holiday we had was in Wales in summer 2008.
I really need a holiday, it’s ages since I was able to just get away from it all. I’d miss my nightly installs of big brother of course but hey if I could spend my days lolling around the pool and getting fed up in top class restaurants I am sure I’d cope.
A friend just got back from stunning angel island and has been making me green with envy with her tales and showing off her photos – of which she took literally 100s.
She says she loved the the whole area and the placed she stayed at, The Lodge at Tiburon, was simply stunning. They offer all the amenities you’d expect from such an establishment like an outdoor heated pool and complimentary Internet as well as a fancy whirlpool and Poolside cabanas.
I definitely want to go
So we just had to make a difficult decision and that is that we won’t be going on our usual vacation package deals this year. We’ve been taking up killer last minute all inclusive deals for around five years now. Usually we go away at the start of the summer and the end of it.
This year however we’ve decided we really need to save all our money as we are setting up home together in August and it’s going to cost a small fortune. What with the rent, deposit and agent fees – not to mention that we will have to basically buy every thing you need for a new house as we currently have nothing other than a bed!
Of course it’s disappointing as who doesn’t love a good vacation? But I am working on the theory that it will make it all the better when we do get to go on our usual all inclusive holidays in 2011. Sometimes taking a break from something reignites that excitement for it
I remember the first time we went together, we had only been together a few months at that point but this deal came up and we just couldn’t say no – a week in the Canaries for less than £100 each, we’d have been mad not to! My parents don’t understand how we can do it like we do, not knowing when we are going and often leaving ourselves with literally a few days to pack and get ready but for us that just adds to the experience. It also means that I don’t have the time to spend hours researching where we are going as I tend to do, so when we get there everything (good or bad) is a surprise to us.
Roll on 2011!
I was just looking at Branson vacation packages for a friend, I wish it were for me but alas not. We can’t actually afford to go away at all this year due to moving house but that’s OK, it will make it all the more special when we do finally get to go away the following year – we’re also going to make sure it’s extra special and spend a little more than we usually do, it’s normally all about budget budget budget.
I just got done watching The Amazing Race premiere. I am not that well travelled and geography isn’t my strongest subject but I had to roll my eyes when Jordan asked for tickets to China because that’s where she thought Santiago was, doh.
Love love love this show even after 16 seasons, but I find myself running into the same age old problem season after season – it makes me green with envy and crave an exotic holiday adventure of my own!
Of course I’d never be able to go on The Amazing Race and would be much more suited to an all inclusive Tunisia or Greece trip instead. I like the idea of adventure but not the realities of it. I would definitely not be happy if I couldn’t lounge around by a pool, visit the shops and have all my meals cooked for me.
I’m not high maintenance, I just like nice things 
Whenever most of my friend go away on vacations they stay in hotels, but my husband and I much prefer a lovely vacation rental instead. Firstly it’s often a lot cheaper for what you get out of it and we just prefer the freedom that comes with being able to do your own thing
Earlier, I was on Vacation Rental.org, just having a look around and a bit of a daydream about the summer when we next get to go away and I saw a commercial they have posted on their blog. It features superhero UNITARD who spends his time trying to stop people making bad choices about their own vacations.
