My $10,000 National Vacation Day

Posted on June 22nd, 2009 by admin, under General Travel.

“There are only pros and no cons. Save Our Summer Vacation!” This is all that I can think of in declaring August 7 as a “National Vacation Day”. Celebrating this day, even at the simplest means of being at home with my family, is a perfect venue to do some catching up and bonding with them. I will be able to share my stories and listen to theirs, laugh so hard on the silliest joke until I cry and feel that once again, we are one. Apart from my personal pros, I think the economy will also benefit from it. Come August 7 holiday, the tourism in the country will surely soar up high.

There are a lot of things people can do on this one day of liberty. They can spend their worry-free day relaxing by the beach or gazing the beautiful sight on top of a mountain. They can spend their day-off at the beauty parlor or at the spa. The adventurous can go on trekking while the artistic can visit art galleries or ancient architectures. The contemporary can just simply dine out, catch a film and go shopping.

We can make this movement succeed. Just visit HomeAway Vacation Rentals at HomeAway.com and participate with this cause. As an added bonus, tell your 10,000 vacation dream because they are giving away $10,000 to the most deserving person.

But if it was I who had the ten grand (and the extended vacation), I would bring my family to the unspoiled island of Maldives. It will be truly memorable for me if I get to enjoy the spectacular beach and peaceful lagoons of this island country with the people dearest to me. We will go island hopping to see its unexplored nooks. We will dive under the sea to have a peek of its underwater community. We will also rent jet skis and race in the ocean. “Ah! I hope wishes do come true.”

Visit Liverpool with The Beatles

Posted on March 11th, 2009 by admin, under Entertainment Travel, General Travel, Travel Destinations.

Liverpool is definitely a desirable destination for any tourist. It has a world famous football team, it is a stop away from London, Amsterdam, it has glorious beaches and attractive coastal areas and it also boasts of a historical relevance to the U.K.

Anyone touring Europe would surely find this place a more than worthwhile stop. But what if you happen to be currently short on the green stuff? Well, lighten up lad! As the most famous Liverpudians say, we’ll get by “with a little help from my friends”.

This time around, your friends include the musicians hailing from Liverpool. Let their music give you a little taste of their hometown’s various flavors.

Let’s start off with the ones who have virtually put Liverpool in the mental maps of music lovers, the Fab Four- The Beatles. Looking beyond the world craze and concentrating instead on their unique sound that is unrivaled to this day, one can imagine himself tramping through the streets of Penny Lane or any other busy boulevard of the place. The slower tunes dominated by the sober guitar brings images of pubs during the afternoon, serving beer from the tap to the more senior regulars looking to have a quiet drink before the younger rowdy crowd comes in.

Also on the subtle side is the band Belle and Sebastian. Their light, warm and delightful sound that drives listeners to tap their feet to the beat represents the breezy shores and the occasional green fields that dot Liverpool.

The faster than light night scene is best heard through the sound of Jet and the insanely controversial and now defunct band called The Libertines. Jet’s flamboyant air is spread by the carefree yet honest fusion of vocals, guitars and percussion played to an organized chaos of melody. The harmonious cacophony and the infamous rebellion of The Libertines is an accurate depiction of what drives the Liverpudian youth.
