Thinking about Greece for vacation

As a mom, sometimes I am bored with everyday routines cooking, working, watching TV, shopping etc. I definitely need other activity that can refresh my mind and motivation. I need a vacation, my last holiday trip was to Bali 2 or 3 years back, with hubby. And yeah, it was long time ago!

Thinking about vacations, I do really want to go to Greece, that according to wikipedia is regarded as the birthplace of democratic, heir to the heritages of ancient Greexe, the Roman and Byzantine Empires. I think hubby will also love Greece attractions such as Athens, Acropolis, Parthenon, Saronic Gulf Island, Dodecanese Islands, Corfu, beach, beach and beach. For me, I’ll love the Greece nightlife, cuisine and food and the Festivals.

A friend that has made lots of travel almost all around the world, Geoff, recommended me to book online one of the cheap holidays packages from otbeach.com. Geoff has used this company twice and have always been excellent offering good value for money, he have previously traveling to Tenerite and Cyprus last year.

According to him, I should choose one of the all inclusive holidays which is a good option because (frankly) I never went abroad, specially for holidays, and being lost in a holiday is not a fun experience at all!

Otbeach.com itself, is a sleek and simple but powerful website that is dedicated to help travelers to book hotels, flights, city breaks also an affordable place that sells holiday packages.

Spain, Beaches & Hotels

Spain probably is the largest holiday destination in the world, away from other cold weathered countries (England, Sweden, Norway). Spain popular for doing a business meeting or conference, although mostly held in Barcelona or Madrid.
There are many transportation mode to go to Spain and mostly choosing Airplane as the transportation mode, because the airfare are awesome cheap.

 

There are popular beach in Spain that worth visited:

  • Costa Brava is in Catalonia, in the northeast of Spain, has rocky cliffs and a mix of pebble beaches and sandy beaches. A coastal region of northeastern Catalonia, Spain, in the comarques of Alt Empordà, Baix Empordà and La Selva, in the province of Girona. Costa is the Catalan and Spanish word for ‘coast’, and Brava means ‘rugged’ or ‘wild’. The Costa Brava stretches from Blanes, 60km northeast of Barcelona, to the French border. Get Romantic nights at one of the Costa Brava Hotels arrays.
  • Costa del Sol stretches for over 150 km, for 54 km east of Malaga, and as far as the provincial border of Cadiz, some 100 km south west of the city, choose hotel by visiting Costa Del Sol Hotels so you would not regret it.
  • Benidorm is particularly popular with British and Dutch tourists. In fact, there are whole sections of the city where you will rarely hear a word of Spanish and there are pubs on every corner advertising an “authentic British menu”. It grew popular originally due to the package holiday explosion, and continues thanks to the year round night-life centred around the central concentration of bars and clubs. The large number of free cabaret acts that start around 9pm and continue into the early hours set Benidorm apart from other similar resorts. Don’t forget to leave you child in great chosen hotel, one of the cozy Benidorm Hotels, before you watch the cabaret acts!
  • Alicante is working hard to assert itself as the cultural capital of the Costa Blanca – and succeeding. In less than a decade the city has transformed itself from a rundown port into an elegant city with wide boulevards, clean beaches, a sparkling new harbour complex and some world-class museums. All this reinvention makes for a startlingly ugly ride from the airport, but the cranes and cement mixers eventually fall away to reveal an old quarter buzzing year round with shops, bars and restaurants. Also there are many inexpensive as well as expensive Alicante Hotels, it depends on your wallet.

There are also Barcelona Las Ramblas Hotels array that also worth visited and stayed.

Australia just for F1?

For me, thing to do in Australia is mostly to watch the F1 Grand Prix at Melbourne. But later I found another attraction there in Australia. And it make me more enthusiast to visit Australia.

Sunbathe, Surf the ocean and watch the sea life, on Western Australia that has over twelve thousand kilometers of coastline, an Aussie adventure holiday on Western Australia outback to find the real Australia and watch the biggest and most vivid range of wildflowers in the world. I believe there are inexpensive Perth hotels to stay.

For family holidays, events and nature and some events, South Australia is a great destination, it’s near hotels in Adelaide, so accommodation and transportation will be easier.

For surfers (unfortunately I’m not), Surfers Paradise attractions: Beaches, Shopping, theme parks, are in gold-coast. Most surfer stays in hotels in surfers paradise, so they can be able to catch moments every time they want, or in hotels in gold coast

Whew, Australian Grand Prix is around the corner, and while I’m there definitely I’ll check those place out!

Talking about Barcelona is talking about vacation

Hubby really love Fariz Rustam Munaf song, the song is entitled Barcelona. And although it was created and composed in around 1988, hubby still love this song. The song is about Barcelona in one night, I remember the video clip setting was in a center of something like a Barcelona hotel with Fariz playing guitar and a lady (played by Karina Suwandi) next on him.

That’s just Fariz and his song, a really famous song!

Talking about Barcelona, is talking about vacation! And like I said, I love vacation. I dream to travel all around the world with hubby and my child, and living in some cozy hotels, in London hotels, maybe to choose the hotel near the Downing Street or living a while in one of the Dublin Hotel, so I can feel the scene of Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford in Devil’s Own. But it’s just ‘if only I could’.

But I believe there are nothing impossible, as long as we keep the good work and also don’t forget to pray, good will help me to make a great journey in all around the world
