sunset in waikiki

This morning, I woke reminiscing the excellent moments we had during our last family vacation to Hawaii. Six months had passed and every time we ran through the videos with our preschooler, I would be reminded of the golden sunsets at Waikiki and the superb ocean views from our room. This must be one of our best vacations! Though my other half still complain and nag every now and then about my shopping indulgence and splurge, I know he had a lovely time himself too. He went for surfing lessons for the first time while I spent some quality time with my boy in DFS Galleria Waikiki and the Ala Moana mall - that was nice! Read the rest of this entry →

I don’t know about you but if there is one thing I can’t leave without when I’m traveling on business or leisure, it has to be my credit card (besides my passport, of course). In this day and age, who can travel without a valid credit card for convenience and flexibility, no wonder there are more travel related cards being launched in the marketplace including Airline Credit Cards, Miles reward cards and Best Hotel Credit Cards. All these credit cards are designed with the global travelers in mind, offering you the best perks and benefits that help you stretch your money.Yet, shopping for a credit card can be a hassle if you don’t know where to begin. As such, sites like Credit Break is launched to help you search for your desired card with the most attractive benefits and rewards. Isn’t it great to save up your reward points and convert them to air miles for your next vacation with your buddies in the Caribbean islands or Cancun Mexico? I suppose this is what it means by ‘killing two birds with one stone’ - just because you take the effort to choose wisely.

This year a large number of couples and families intend to take a summer vacation. I was shopping for some baby gifts the other day and there were lots of people shopping for luggages for their summer vacation.

Summer vacations are popular. In fact, they are so popular that it is likely that you are interested in taking one. When it comes to booking a summer vacation, there are a number of ways that you can make your reservations.

Before making summer vacation reservations, you will have to select a summer vacation destination. Without a destination in mind, it is impossible to make reservations. After you have selected a summer vacation destination, you can begin to make reservations. A large number of amusement parks, campgrounds, and hotels in the United States do not require reservations. Despite the fact that reservations may not be required, it is still advised that you make them. Popular summer vacation ‘hotspots’, quickly fill up with vacationing tourists. Without the proper reservations, you may be left without the necessary accommodations.

Japan has easily become synonymous with the ‘Land of Enchantment’ and, while it’s a modern and technologically-savvy society, attracting lots of investor relations in the past decade, it isn’t without its culture, beauty and history. That’s why guided tours of Japan are so popular for couples and families alike. Read the rest of this entry →

It’s been five years since we last visited Sydney, one of my favourite cities in Australia. I like it for its vibrant culture, colourful arts precinct, great shopping and temperate climate. I could still remember our Sydney harbour climb, it started to rain when we were up on the bridge and we were drenched after the climb. Nevertheless, it was an experience of a lifetime. We stayed for a couple of nights at Four Points Sheraton Darling Harbour Sydney, an upscale hotel that offered great service, nice rooms and luxury comfort.

Oh yes, we are looking forward to our Hawaii and Los Angeles trip in a week’s time but just when I thought I had everything confirmed and finalized, I stumbled upon a lodging directory that took my fancy.

Well, the selling point of this site is that you can find some accommodations that are not promoted at the major accommodation sites. That means you get to choose from more unique lodging options for your next travel destination. I took some time to check out the lodging in South Carolina, the place known for its idyllic beaches and fun in the sun. Read the rest of this entry →

Its green parks, lakeside promenades, colorful gardens, and pleasant surroundings are just some of its adorable appeals. Read the rest of this entry →
