Hubby is fine with my suggestion of having our 3D 2N trip on week days. It will probably be Sunday and Monday nights or Monday and Tuesday nights.
Honestly speaking, I would prefer to stay at home writing lipozene reviews that could bring me sales or commissions or lazing around if I had a choice.
I am simply lazy when it comes to traveling. My family members have even stopped asking me to join them for overseas vacations after being turned down many times by me.
I am so glad to have bought the acne treatment cream I wanted during my trip to the city.
Surprised that I went to a trip without mentioning it here first? Well, it’s kind of a last minute decision due to hubby’s project. Hubby’s project required him to travel to the client’s mansion which’s more than 200km away.
Since I was free during those few days, hubby dragged me along to accompany him.
We stayed at an inn nearby his client’s mansion. Wasn’t it good if the client let us stay at one of his 20-rooms?
As a full time blogger, I find it difficult to not have internet connection for 3 days and 2 nights.
What if your hosting account is suspended by your hosting company? You receive the hosting company’s call, but there is no internet connection to allow you to tackle the problem as soon as possible. Oh, not good!
Imagine all your blogs are taken offline for 3 days and 2 nights by the web hosting company! Scary, man.
Perhaps I should just stay at home updating hubby’s resumes and my blogs while hubby enjoys his weekend there with his buddy/buddies.
Mmm, this is a much better idea!
Hubby thought of having a 3D2N stay at his friend’s remote cottage this weekend. I love the idea, but …
I love the idea of staying at a totally quiet and peaceful place to unwind a bit, but there is no Internet connection.
I can’t live without my Internet for 3 days and 2 nights!
I am fine with 2D1N. So, I am still considering. Maybe, maybe not.
Hubby thought I would object his plan to travel to Guangzhou, China this December. Why would I object to his thrifty trip to China?
Apparently, he was worried that I would say no due to many pretty China dolls in China. What? He thought he was still young and handsome to attract China ladies to get hooked to him.
Well, if it were 30 years ago, I would surely worry. With his current body weight and shape, shut up! Perhaps if he is on diet and starts losing many pounds before he flies to China, it’s likely that some China ladies will be attracted to him.
I mean average looking China women. 
Hubby is thinking of meeting his cousin who is working and living in Guangzhou, China this coming December.
Honestly, I have no objection at all. Why? It’s because I know the trip to Guangzhou, China will be a thrifty travel for hubby.
His cousin will surely take care of his accommodation, meals and other expenses during his stay there.
What hubby needs to do is just pay for his own air fares. There are not only many flights to Guangzhou, but also cheap ones.
I have been checking the availability of Outer Banks rentals for Christmas holidays these few days and fortunately, there is.
I guess the reduction in credit card spending limits has shown its effect. People have to either cancel their yearly vacation trips or opt for thrifty travels or cheaper vacations this year.
Are you affected by the credit crisis too? Are you still planning your yearly vacation this year?
What do you think of when I mention Europe? Most people think of things like bull fights in Spain, fine wine in France, historical sites in Rome, a good soccer brawl in the UK and so on.
But with soaring gas prices, costly flights, plus weakening dollar, a European trip seems practically unaffordable. The truth is that, you can still explore not only Europe’s rich treasure trove of art and history, but its contemporary and vibrant city life.
The best way to save money and control costs is searching for European vacation package offers or all-inclusive vacation deals online. If two-star Dublin Hotels or three-star Paris Hotels are fine with you, you’ll find a good number of affordable packages.
If possible, search for Paris Hotels, Rome Hotels, Dublin Hotels or Barcelona Hotels that include breakfast and fill up fast and early.
Europe is a very diverse place. You will find much that is familiar to you in the UK and Ireland but a lot that feels very different in Rome or Barcelona. Do take time to enjoy the cultural differences and remember, that’s why you’re going in the first place!
