I just got home from the marketing team farewell dinner-drinking party for my two teammates whose resignation is effective today. We had so much fun at the mini-party that we talked about having another get together someday, this time in one of the Hotels in London or Hotels in Manchester in United Kingdom.

Cristina however recommended that if we were to hold our get-together in UK, we should pick from the cheap Hotels in Birmingham. “Birmingham?!” we protested. She said that London and Manchester is too common, whereas Birmingham is yet “unexplored” by a lot of travelers. She furthered that it is the largest of England’s core cities, and is the “city of a thousand trades”.

Still seeing doubting faces, she continued, “Party in the Park, Birmingham’s largest music festival which is a popular chart music event will be held in the summer. Why don’t we schedule our get-together with that?” Being music fans, we all conceded of course.

If someone told me that there’s a place in Africa that has an excellent road, rail and air infrastructure comparable to some of the best in the world, I would have rolled on the floor with laughter. I mean, AFRICA?!

Then an article stunned me… there IS a place in Africa that has an excellent road, rail and air infrastructure – South Africa. It’s fascinating to find out that their road networks are well-maintained and signposted. That and the fact that transport in South Africa is geared towards motor vehicles. So if you’re thinking of visiting this country, I suggest you plan a road trip.

Don’t worry about finding accommodation in this place. You can find Hotels in Johannesburg, some cheap Hotels in Sandton, and some excellent Hotels in Cape Town.

I couldn’t believe I could experience having breakfast, lunch and dinner in three different locations separated by islands which are miles apart. From the pickup point to the airport and in the areas visited and back to the pickup point, a systematic land transportation was also arranged. This happened to me because I was a member of the VIP entourage where every detail of the trip had been scheduled and coordinated with proper authorities. With this whole day hectic schedule, every second counts and proper timing makes a big difference. The successful trip was the result of a series of conferences.

Today, there’s no need for a long time to prepare and coordinate the details of your business and recreation activities in US, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. The Celebrity Jet together with its sister company Celebrity Limousine will provide the air and land transportation services that you need to make your day happy and fulfilled.

Officially the French Republic, France is the most visited country in the world and continues to sit right at the top of the European heap. Below are some of the most in places this summer in France:

1. For festivals and avant-garde events organized around the arts, dance, literature and theatre, go to Le Lieu Unique, in Nantes.
2. For a choice of restaurants serving delicious crêpes and cider, visit the medieval quarter of Bouffay, in Nantes.
3. To set eyes on the renowned collection of paintings by the modern artist Pierre Soulages, as well as great 19th-century French artists, drop by the recently renovated Fabre Museum, in Montpellier.
4. Need a break from your tour? Rest your feet at Place de la Comédie, in Montpellier. It is a huge pedestrian-only esplanade overflowing with cafés.
5. For sublime pool settings, drop by Set Cluband dive into an idyllic ambiance of palm trees, rose-bay trees, pine and cedar.
6. If you’re into jet-set, visit Saint Tropez’s Papagayo nightclub, the international destination point of the Côte d’Azur.
7. To have a taste of the best and most prestigious Parisian night clubs, go to the Golden Triangle (Champs Elysées, George V and Montaigne).

One of the most visited areas in France is Paris, the city of light. Should you decide to go to France, I suggest you check in at Paris Hotels in suburbs for a cheaper rate. Then again, Hotels in Paris or Hôtels en Paris proper are the best place to be in to experience Paris at its best. Up to you…

With my resignation, effective September 15, I’ll be having more free time since I intend to just study PHP and MySQL online while doing some freelance writing. I intend to use that free time wisely by taking courses that I have postponed for several years; one of which is recreational cooking classes.

For people like me who savors and devours food with passion, it’s only appropriate that I learn proper technique and seasonal ingredients. That way, when the occasion arises, I can just grab any chefs free recipes and prepare it.

Right now, there’s a huge variety of classes that teach how to cook virtually every food on earth. All classes are of course hands-on so students can truly learn through participation. There are daytime classes, weekend classes and evening cooking classes to suit every schedule. I think I’ll go for the evening cooking class so I can grab a coffee with old friends after each class.

My fashionable sister, Anne, takes delight in buying and wearing velvet clothes. Unfortunately for her, very few stores in our area sell velvet clothing. So when I told her about Tobi.com which sells Velvet apparel by Graham and Spencer, she was really ecstatic.

What she really loves about Tobi.com aside from the fact that it sells Velvet is that you can have your purchased product gift-wrapped and send it to a friend. You don’t need to worry about the price of the item or order being shown to your recipient because he/she will only receive an invoice with a Return/Exchange Form.

Another thing that makes Tobi.com great is that it has a sizing chart page for men and women. Do take note that sizing between designers vary. So if you already know your size for a particular designer, I suggest you order the size you normally wear. Otherwise, follow the chart to determine your size.

The website also takes special orders and you can avail of this by phone or by email. Of course, to ensure safe transactions, they will require you to provide a form of payment to secure your order.

To cap it off, you can speak to an online stylist at Tobi.com to help you select the most fitting clothes for you. So if you’re looking for a personal and quality shopping experience, try visiting their website.

Aside from an Austria to Germany trip and vice versa, another good deal for a trip in Europe is going to Spain, particularly in Barcelona and Madrid. This is because a lot of flights between Barcelona and Madrid will save you time since it is a little over an hour and you don’t have to check in too long beforehand.

Moreover, you can find a lot of Hotels in Madrid and Hotels in Barcelona that are cheap but offers quality services and facilities. Oh, and for those who want to practice their Spanish skills while searching for a good accommodation, you can browse over these pages: Hotels en Barcelona and Hotels en Madrid (as you can see from their titles, they are in Spanish). If you know some good deals on having a trip to Europe, feel free to comment here.

When people go on vacation, they generally maximize their precious days by going to multiple places. For those planning a trip to Europe, I suggest you include Germany and Austria. This is because with the special web only deals, in Germany, you can fly direct to Vienna from Berlin and vice versa. Also, there are now a number of low-cost flights from Austria to Germany.

You need not worry about finding Hotels in Berlin and Hotels in Vienna because with the internet, you not only can book online, you can also search for cheap but quality Hotels in Vienna and Hotels in Berlin.

Who said California is just a year-round travel destination with a weather that will please everyone? For those interested in studying abroad or sending their kids to the best schools, California offers three unique systems of public postsecondary education: University of California (considered one of the world’s finest public university systems), California State University (the largest university system in the United States), and The California Community Colleges system (composed of 109 colleges).

Moreover, California is also home to notable private universities such as Stanford University and the University of Southern California. To cap it off, for those interested in a career in the culinary arts, in pastry arts and baking, or hospitality and restaurant management, you can get a quality culinary arts education and prestigious Le Cordon Bleu diploma at California School of Culinary Arts (more info at http://csca.edu/).

So next time you hear California, I hope you also associate it with high-end education.

For football (a.k.a. soccer) fanatics, if you’re planning a trip to Europe, be sure to include these top three destinations in your itinerary: London, Manchester, and Liverpool. These are the three largest cities for soccer or football which also houses stadiums that are the home of a club or national team with a capacity of 40,000 or more (FYI, 40,000 is the minimum capacity required for a stadium to host FIFA World Cup finals matches). Some of which are Wembley Stadium in Wembley, London (90,000 capacity); Old Trafford (football) in Trafford, Greater Manchester (76,212 capacity); and Anfield Liverpool (45,362 capacity).

It doesn’t matter if you’re staying in a London Hotel, Manchester Hotel, or Liverpool Hotel. Just make sure to avail of stadium tours from the popular big clubs so you can get a behind the scenes look at the players’ changing rooms and the facilities.
