If you’re a keen traveller like me then you’re sure to enjoy the excitement of visiting countries, experiencing their culture and tasting their unique cuisine. Going travelling isn’t just about seeing the sites and visiting historic landmarks, it’s also about experiencing the night-life and doing things you enjoy. So as a poker fanatic, you’re sure to want to visit some of the world’s top casinos.
Ah, Tenerife. Land of year-round sunshine, bubbly beach resorts and those wild and woolly mountains. It’s a pretty diverse holiday hotspot but that’s just one of the many things that makes this island so special.
Package holidays to Tenerife come in many different shapes and sizes. Many visitors choose to come and spend long lazy days on the beach or by the pool, topping up their tan and whiling away the hours with a book in one hand and something fizzy and refreshing in the other. But the appeal of this popular Canary Island goes way beyond the beach.
Just think. You could be searching for holiday deals Tenerife one minute and jetting off to the rugged north coast on a late deal just a week later. Or you could be planning a tailormade break, stopping in different regions and soaking up some of the local customs and traditions. Or perhaps you’ll head to the bright lights of Santa Cruz – the island’s capital – to enjoy waist-expanding tapas or freshly prepared paella and locally produced wine, before hitting the shops to melt some serious plastic.
I’m pretty loyal to the Hilton family of hotels whenever I travel, primarily because (1) I want to accumulate the points/status within one chain (2) they have a very consistent experience no matter where I travel, which means no surprises and consistently good service. DoubleTree has to be my favorite brand within the Hilton family, and I think a large part of that is due to the cookies. As crazy as that sounds, I love the cookies both from the perspective as a guest and as a marketer. It’s a great detail and really nice perk. It’s also just a really memorable thing to do, which helps me recall previous stays at DoubleTrees (because after a while, all hotels start to blend together) and want to stay there again.
Your best mate is getting married and you have been given the responsibility of organising her hen do. You want to give her the best experience but need to stick within a budget, so that everyone on the guest list can be there for her. What do you do?
If you stick to a city break in the UK, it’s surprising how far your money can go – particularly if you shop around. Arrange the hotel early so that you and the group can benefit from early bird deals. For example, if you’re heading to Tyneside for some quality nightlife, Newcastle hotels from Travelodge are a done deal, offering you comfort, close proximity and affordability.
Now that the year is almost over, I’m taking a look back at all of the travel I’ve done. According to Tripit.com, I’ve flown over 54,239 miles and counting this year and visited destinations ranging from Cody, Wyoming to New York, New York. I’ve earned Silver status at Hilton Hotels and Gold on USAirways, as well as a lot smaller bonuses & tiers of status on other chains. It’s been a busy year, but travel overall has been smooth & pleasant.
I’m fortunate to live less than two hours from Sedona, AZ, one of the most beautiful places on earth, so I make a road trip to there about once per month when I can help it. As such, my fiance have “wined and dined” across Sedona, and have found the dining scene there to have some fabulous food & service. We’ve rarely had a bad experience, but here are the “best of the best” restaurants we’d recommend when our friends visit Sedona. I’m writing this blog post half as a public resource, and half so that when my friends ask me where they should eat I can just send them this link. Enjoy!
