Explore United Kingdom!

Derek and Shannon were newlyweds. They had been inseparable since their engagement. Derek had a business of his own, and had to travel overseas a lot. Shannon missed him very much when he traveled. Now, as his wife, she travelled with him, wherever his business took him. She quite enjoyed being married to him! She wanted to take advantage of the freedom to travel with Derek, before kids came on the scene.

She kind of became his personal travel assistant, making his travel arrangements for him, whenever the need arose. Derek had to visit some clients at a few places in England the following week. Shannon had to set up his travel plans in a hurry. She was used to doing stuff on the Internet, being a personal assistant to a Director of a firm before she quit. She went straight to this website, which offered benefits and cheap hotel rates to last-minute travellers. She booked a few hotels at the different places at which Derek's clients were stationed. She went through some Cheap Manchester Hotels, and chose the one she liked best, in terms of price, and hotel facilities. Then she looked up Cheap London Hotels, and reserved one for Derek and herself. Birmingham and Edinburgh were two other destinations Derek had to stop at, and Shannon gladly booked hotels under Cheap Birmingham Hotels, and Cheap Edinburgh Hotels, getting such unbelievably good rates, she couldn't wait to see Derek's approving face!

She also looked up places she would like to visit while Derek was at the business meetings, and places she would like to eat at, when Derek was free to join her. In Manchester, one of the places Shannon looked forward to visiting was the Piccadilly Gardens. In London, she hoped to shop till she dropped, and also walk around the beautiful parks there. In Birmingham, she was looking forward to feel the presence of Shakespeare, and listen to some good symphony music at the Symphony Hall. In Edinburgh, Derek could indulge in his favorite past time - golf! Shannon, who had just taken up golf, could practice her golf swings with the set of new clubs Derek got her for her birthday!

A Vacation at The Blue Inn

Jane had a few good friends she hung out with a lot. They were all in her Spanish class at College. They were looking forward to Summer because they had decided to take a vacation together. One of Jane's friends, May, had been to a place in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, with her family. They stayed at this charming nicaragua beach hotel called "The Blue Inn", and absolutely loved it!

May gathered Jane and the others around her laptop one day, and showed them pictures of the wonderful San Juan del Sur Beach Hotel they were going to stay at, during their trip in the Summer. The place looked gorgeous! The would-be vacationers wished Summer would come sooner!

Jane and her friends had fallen in love with La Posada Azul, the elegant San Juan Del Sur hotel, just by looking at the pictures. They dreamt about lazing around at the inn, soaking up the sun at the beach, surfing, swimming, and just enjoying a few days of peace and quiet at the fishing village!

Santorini - A Wedding Present

Mark and Jan's son was getting married! They were very excited! This was the first wedding in the family. Mark and Jan wanted to give their son and future daughter-in-law a very special wedding gift. They thought hard and long about it, and still could not agree upon one gift.

One day, Mark was surfing the web, and came upon a website, introducing this wonderful island in Greece. The name of the island sounded like some refreshing drink - Santorini! As he read more about this Greek island, he got more excited! He called Jan to join him. As Jan read about more Santorini, a smile stole upon her face. She turned to look at Mark, and both knew at once they had found the perfect wedding present for their son!

Mark and Jan looked on the travel site further, and made reservations for a hotel at Santorini for the soon-to-be-married couple.

When the engaged couple received the wedding present, they could not hide their joy! Honeymoon on a Greek island? How romantic could it get? Mark and Jan shared with them the website where they had arranged the trip, and the couple was impressed, and decided that they would look it up when they plan future trips.
