darling harbour hotels in sydney 0

Posted on January 24, 2008 by dorisch

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 →

I read in an article about assisted living software and came to know a little more about Geneva.

The city of Geneva is believed to be one of the world’s “healthiest” cities to live in, and of course it’s also one of the best cities to visit in Switzerland. Its green parks, lakeside promenades, colorful gardens, and pleasant surroundings are just some of its adorable appeals. Read the rest of this entry →

California is usually synonymous with beautiful beaches, beautiful people and the glitter and glitz surrounding the movie world, but there’s another side to this beautiful state, a gentler more natural side.  The Napa Valley is within easy driving distance of San Francisco and offers a tranquil alternative to the bustle of the city.

One of the fun things to do in the Napa Valley is to take a ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train.  As one of the top train rides in the world, you’ll enjoy a relaxing journey in lovingly restored carriages all dated pre-1950.  Whether you enjoy a romantic evening meal in the dining car as you travel through the valley’s beautiful countryside, or you take the daily tour that allows a stop at two of the local vineyards, this is a local “attraction” that shouldn’t be missed.

A look at the city of Belgium tells me that it is an enthralling nation with a dramatic past and a proud present as a center of the European Union.

A honeymoon in Belgium will reveal to you a rich and historic country! This is made up of diverse art, architecture and cuisine waiting to be discovered. Belgium is a relatively small and modest nation by European standards. There are beautifully preserved medieval towns; world class museums and excellent cuisine await you on your Belgian honeymoon.
Brussles, the Belgian capitol doubles as the capital of the European Union and therefore has a distinct cross-national feel. At its heart stands an ornate central square, framed by historic buildings and some fascinating museums. That show case art from ancient to modern times. Brussels also has superb array of restaurants and shopping opportunities. Read the rest of this entry →
