Hawaii vacation firm expands mexico inventory

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

It’s a sing of the times. A Hawaii vacation company expands it’s real estate holdings in Mexico. It’s a smart business move, but people should see it for what it is. People who are still able to afford a vacation are more and more choosing mexico as a destination. It’s cheaper, and may be all many people can afford.

Of course you should do some searching in the news for violence and police corruption in Mexico before you head down there, and there may be a slight language barrier. Who knows what housekeepers there consider clean? Often times hotels look great in pictures and even nice on the outside, but what’s it’s really like in your hotel room? Sounds like a vacation in the United States but cheaper.

Four days in Europe

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

I had to fly to Europe and it was a whirlwind. I remember trying to figure out exchange rates and costs for food and travel based in other currencies. Most of the language barrier was not an issue, but the sheer hustle and bustle of our itinerary kept me from seeing many of the sites that i yearned for. I will definitely be returning for a longer stay. Perhaps Octoberfest would be a good time to spend several weeks abroad. Danny had told me about a comic and anime convention in Europe that was awesome, so I am looking into hotels and flights for that as well.
