I’m off to NYC next week but a little Italian charm sounds better than NYC charm. A stay on Elba Island is just about as charming as you can get. Elba is very close to Tuscanny. Beaches, scuba diving, biking, Italian food and a garland of virgins. Here’s the Elba Hotel & travel information, which hotel are you booking?

I’m heading to NYC in the early part of April for work. Then, a few weeks later we’re going to Charlotte to help my mom babysit Heir to the Throne. All in all, I’d rather be booking a Bangkok Flight! I could use a vacation.
You folks in the UK ought to check out Dial a Flight. HEATHROW to BANGKOK is from £250 (+ £139 tax). Curse the weak dollar! Enjoy your international travel while the British pound is strong! You’ll regret it if you don’t.

We were in London last month, I mentioned that, right? We spent a LOT of time in the Tube or the Underground or the Subway - whatever you prefer to call it. We called it The Tube and occasionally we called it HELL (5pm rush hour traffic was madness).
We also called it interesting and fun. I wish more big cities had underground transportation systems. Check out this site that lists the Top Underground Transit Systems. There are some great photos and videos. Interesting stuff.
Anyone in London planning a trip to my neck of the woods? That would be Orlando! How about to my hometown, Charleston? Actually, if you are in London and looking for a vacation right now, I’d choose one of the Mauritius Flights - I bet it’s a heck of a lot warmer there than it is anywhere in my world! Dial A flight has some pretty good flight deals and their lodging packages seems right on target for Orlando and Charleston.
Happy travels!

I’ve never had any dreams about Bulgaria in the past. Now that I’ve surfed around Bulgaria Property listings I might have to reconsider. Check out the “sunny beach property”. Check out these 2+ bedrooms in Sofia. That whole water taxi thing, I like that.

Have you ever thought about purchasing a vacation condo and renting it out while you aren’t there? Cave Creek Real Estate would be a good place to start, if you’re interested in such a thing. I’d love to quit my day job, buy a bunch of condos, apartments and flats all over the world and rent them for vacationers and business travelers.

Why send a boring old e-card when you can send a Hula card? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could TYPE your message in rather than selecting those words and phrases?
Speaking of hula and Hawaii, go visit my friend skeeter. She lives in Hawaii and posts a lot of great stories and photos about living there.
I really hate it that someone is going to make money off of these books. But I hate it more that people actually believe they should not take their babies with them to some restaurants or stores or _______ and instead look for “baby friendly establishments”. I can see telling people to boycott a store if they aren’t baby friendly but to create a book to tell you where to take your baby? Um no. I will take my baby anywhere I choose to go. Well I would when I had a baby and I did when I had babies. New mommies, take your kid wherever you want and give the finger to those who seem troubled by this.

Can I just tell you how much I love the Tube Guru? I mean seriously. Is there something like this for other big cities with huge public transportation systems? If there isn’t, someone could make millions of dollars by creating one and offering them all in one place. The ultimate travel planner. Tube Guru, I love you!

Well, it’s officially live. Placeblogger that is. I think it’s a great idea. But I’m less than thrilled with the results from the 4 searches I’ve done there. Surely there are better blogs than the ones in the database for the areas I searched. Or maybe there aren’t??? If that’s the case then some people need to get busy place blogging!
I really wish I had just a little more time in the day/week. I’d love to do my own “place blogging”. Maybe my life will be different in a few months and I can do it. Maybe that should be a resolution. To make place blogging a reality in my life?
