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.

A Trip to The Hospital
This is my second trip to the Christus St. John Hospital when I came home with a baby! My toddler has a baby brother now!
I did not really enjoy the delivery, but in a way, I enjoyed the stay at the hospital. Perhaps, subconsciously, I knew when I left the hospital, I would be very much on my own, to care for a toddler and a new-born! At the hosptital, I had the expert help of the attentive nurses, for my baby, and myself. I even enjoyed the food served at the hospital (probably more so because I did not have to prepare it myself).
The staff at the hospital had really made a good impression on me though. When I had my first-born, I left the hospital in a lot of pain, but with a lot of good things to say about the nurses who attended to my needs, both day and night. This time, I left the hospital with my son's baby brother, not in as much pain, but with as much appreciation for the nurses' kind attention towards me as the last time.

A Break for Harry's family
Harry was a busy business man. He travelled a lot, and did not get to spend time with his family as much as he would like. He felt guilty that his wife almost had to single-handedly take care of his two children, who were still under the age of ten. He wished he did not have to travel so much!
He had some vacation time finally! He wanted to do something special with his wife and children. He thought taking them to another country, away from the mundane everyday life, would be a good idea. He searched on the net, and found some really interesting destinations at which he thought he and his family would really enjoy spending some time.
He wanted to spring a surprise on his wife and children. He did not want them to know where they were heading to, until they were at the airport. He just told them what kind of clothes they should take with them, and what the weather would be like when they got to the destination. Harry had finally decided to bring his family to New Zealand, a place where nature was still very much appreciated, and alive! He looked on the site for information about hotels. He looked at Hotels in Auckland, Hotels in Wellington, and Hotels in Christchurch, and booked hotels at different places he thought he and his family would visit.
Harry felt very satisfied after he had done all his planning and reservations. Being such a busy man, the site he found helped him a lot by enabling him to do everything he needed to do for the trip, without any hassle!

A Shopping Vacation
Mary is a single woman - young, successful in her job, and not in any serious relationship at the moment. She enjoys shopping, watching the movies, and travelling, with her female friends. She thinks she's living the perfect life now! She doesn't feel tied down to anybody, or anything! She feels free, and happy.
Right now, she's in the process of planning her next vacation overseas with her group of friends. They have already agreed on the destination. They are now gathered in Mary's apartment, armed with brochures, and all kinds of munchies and drinks. One of Mary's friends, Angie, got on line, and is browsing this website, where she's getting great information about travelling in London. Mary and her friends have one common interest - shopping, and they plan to make this the focal point of their stay in London. Now, Mary and her friends are all gathered around Angie and the computer, and they all have fun looking for a hotel, which will provide them easy access to shopping places. They look under London Hotels, Kensington Hotels, Knightsbridge Hotels, and Oxford Street Hotels. There are lots of pictures that help the girls to decide where they want to stay, and how much they can afford. It's a lot of fun for the girls, just looking at the colorful pictures, and other useful information supplied by the website.
The girls find out that they can do some interesting sight-seeing, as well as do some "serious" shopping, staying at certain hotels. They look forward to a wonderful vacation!

This Is The Life!
Shermin was American, but he was posted to London for two years. He liked working overseas. It gave him an opportunity to experience new things and meet new people. He hoped to be posted to another country with a totally different culture, and climate the next time round.
However, Shermin also missed his family and friends. However, he had found a cheap, and easy way to get around that. He found this website on the Internet, which provided affordable flights to Florida, New York, Washington, and many other places in the USA. Shermin had made use of DiaAFlight to travel back to see his family, and also made use of the different holiday offers to spend time with his friends.
All Shermin did was talk over his travel plans on the phone with a travel agent based in the UK, and he never failed to get a dream package settled. With DialAFlight to assist him with his travel plans, Shermin enjoyed the fun of working overseas, and travelling near and far without any hassle!

Christmas Parade
My toddler was very excited! The annual Christmas Parade hosted by our city was going to be held on Saturday evening! His grandparents lived close to the street where the Christmas Parade was going to happen. He got to play at his grandparents' house, and then go to the Christmas Parade! My toddler could hardly contain his joy!
The best thing he liked about the Parade was the candy. The people in the parade threw lots of candy to the spectators last year, and my son loved that part, more so now that he was old enough to enjoy candy of all sorts.
It wasn't as cold as last year, and we didn't have to bundle up. My son was sitting with his daddy on the side of the road. He jumped sky-high when a fire truck honked its horn! The Santa sitting in the fire-truck didn't help calm my son's nerves. He wanted his grandfather to hold him after that! My husband and I laughed cruelly because his reaction was hilarious - to us! Anyway, my son got lots of candy. It wasn't a particularly spectacular parade, but we had a nice time!

Black Friday Shopping Trip
Went to visit some relatives during Thanksgiving. On our way home, we decided to stop at some shops to do some shopping! It was Black Friday. I never shopped on Black Friday before. Anyway, everyone in the car was agreeable to the suggestion, and so we gave it a try.
Went to Garden Ridge, and saw tons of items with very attractive low prices. Got a few items - not as much as some shoppers did, with cartloads full of stuff, and were making our way to the check-out. Suddenly realised the check out line was about a mile long. We put our items back, and decided to leave the store empty-handed!
The experience at the first store did not teach us to be smarter. We stopped at a few other shops. The only shops with short check-out lines didn't have any special sale going on, and prices of goods were not attractive. Stopped at another shop where we picked up a few items. When we got to the shop, the check-out lines were not long at all. Of course, when we were ready to check out, the lines suddenly snaked around the store. We put back our items, and decided to head home!
No more Black Friday shopping for me!
