Easter Vacation

Easter weekend means that a lot of families are going away for the weekend to have a little rest. Unfortunately not our case.

Lately some families opted to by a RV so that they can travel without paying accommodation. A RV really is a money saver however it is a big initial investment. Besides the buy of the RV, maintenance is needed as as well a insurance plan and a good sam extended service plan is advise just in case you get stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Vacations away from home are something some families do not dismiss because they are an escape from the busy daily life we have and it is a way to regain energy to face more busy days.

I don’t have vacations away for a loooong time and I really need one. While at home I’m always being interrupted by the neighbors children that want to play with mine and silence is something I barely have. The kids have a great time playing, running, shouting but we don’t have a quiet minute.

For those going on vacation here are some After Vacation Syndrome tips. Have a great time!

Financial Crisis? Not for all

We are nearly in Christmas and believe it or not I know some people that are already thinking about Christmas gifts and even in New Year’s Eve. It’s all over the news that countries are in crisis and that people don’t have money to spend but what I realize is the opposite. People are already searching for hotels and flights to spend the New Year’s holidays in places like puerto plata Hotels or Punta Cana Hotels.

If I could I would like to go to some eco-friendly resort but, at the moment I’m glad I have a house where I can spend he New Year’s Eve.I believe crisis is not or everyone!!

Summer Vacations

Laura — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:35:20 +0000

This year, due to financial issues we won’t be able to go on holidays again. It has been 6 years since we last went somewhere on holidays.

I really that at this stage of my life I would be able to go on vacation at least one week per year, but things are not working out and money is scarce. I am not looking for Orlando vacations or Cancun vacations, I just want to spend a few days resting and enjoying the time without worrying about cleaning, washing, cooking, etc..

I really need to rest and I hope that on my summer vacation (starting on July 20) I will be able to get over my exhaution, muscle pain and general tireness.

What about you, are you going on summer vacations this year? What is your destiny?

Laura — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:58:57 +0000

Summer is almost over but those looking for a few days away from home having a good time still have some choices available. Cruises is a type of vacation that is available throughout the year, no matter the month or season.

There are several cruises available around the world but the really popular ones are Mediterranean cruises. Mediterranean offers good weather and beautiful seaside cities like Venice, Barcelona, Monte Carlo/Cannes or Istanbul. The itineraries can take from 7 to 14 nights depending on the cruise. You can also check cruise lines for land-tour extensions so that you can visit the interior of the countries and not only the port.

Cruises are an excellent way to visit several countries and cities without having to fly from one place to another or drive on your own. You can rest and have fun while the ship takes you to the next city.

Laura — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:32:11 +0000

We have everything ready for our vacation:

clothes packed
food packed
books and magazines packed
cell phone packed
etc., etc. packed

We are leaving tomorrow morning for a 1,5 – 2 hours travel, we are not taking highways only secondary roads.

As you might notice on the previous list of packed things, I’m not including the Laptop, yes, I’m not taking the Latpop with me. 6-7 days without Internet, 6-7 days without posting. I don’t have any scheduled posts, I never have, so this blog won’t have any posts for that period.

I talked with my cell phone service provider and I got the bad news that I don’t have Internet access because this provider, with low rates, doesn’t give Internet access. This means I won’t have any contact with blog world (at least I will have tv!).

I promise I will post as soon as I arrive home from our vacation. Good content is coming soon: health tips, travel tips, hotel information, light recipes and much more.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I’ll see you soon.

Cheap Vacation: Bungalows or Tents

Laura — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:08:46 +0000

We weren’t going anywhere on this vacation but a neighbor and friend convinced me that it would be better, for our own mental health, to go somewhere away from home. As she knows we don’t have a financial life that allows us to go to an Hotel, she told me about some Camping Parks she knows and advised me to go to one of them.

I checked the sites on the Internet and decided to call one camping park that is located in a mountain and I was able to rent a bungalow for five days. Once is not located near the coast the prices are lower and affordable.

Besides a bungalow for 4 with WC, kitchen, fridge, hot water and electricity we will have free access to the barbecue, pool, football field, beach (river beach), canoeing, etc.. I just have to take bed clothing, towels, food, and our clothes and shoes. No fancy clothes or sexy shoes are needed for this type of vacation, the more comfortable the best.

Renting a bungalow or even using a tent in a camping park can be a great solution for those with a small budget to spend on vacations.
