I haven't been to Sydney yet, but I have heard that there are some really good deals to be found on hotels in Sydney, if you know where to look. In fact, until recently, I didn't know where to look, and that is part of why I haven't been to Sydney. Without finding good offers, hotels price tags can be very high. I have always been prevented from going to Sydney in the past because of the cost involved.
Well that may change very soon. There are some great prices available on Sydney hotels when you shop at www.cheaperthanhotels.com. And, they can even help you to find last minute deals, just in case your trip is rather unexpected.
There is even some really great budget hotels available on the site, for those who might be even more strapped for cash than I am. I have found more than one Sydney hotel that looks good for me. So how about we all meet up for New Year's Eve at Sydney Harbour? Looks fun, doesn't it?

Going to Cancun
I went to Mexico a long time and stayed outside of Cancun. I am hoping to go there soon and stay in a cheap hotel in Cancun. I love that part of Mexico. There is so much to do in both day and night time. I am hoping to see the ruins at Tulum. I have heard that they are very grande. My friends that have been say that the views from the top are amazing, and that the ruins themselves are worth the cost of the flight to Cancun.
Besides the ruins, the beaches are the best. If you like clear blue water, clean white sand and cheap hotels in Cancun that look out onto these beautiful beaches. The days on the beach are filled with non-stop relaxation. I hate to leave the beach to go on a tour at times. Unless the tour is to Xcaret. I went there before and loved it. It is a short trip and the snorkeling is wonderful there. We saw many beautiful types of fish, one of them being a parrot fish. It is a fish that is about 4 ft. long and has a mouth that looks like a parrot's beak and has the bright colors like a parrot. I tried with no luck to get close enough to touch one.
At night there is plenty to do as well. Many times my friends continue their relaxation around the pool with a nice beverage in their hand and a lounge chair under them. I enjoy watching people which is always easy to do at one of the Cancun Hotels, or in places like Senor Frogs which I hope is still around.

The Trio Paris Bound
Shooby, Bao-er, and Bao-yi, had not been on a vacation together for a while. They had been busy with work. They were looking at some old travel pictures together, and the travel bug gnawed at them! They itched to go on a trip again! They were wondering where to go. It had to be some place new - to all three of them. They could not afford to be gone for too long because of work too. They went on line, and all decided travelling to France would be fun, and a novelty for all three girls.
They found this great website which showed them where they could find some cheap hotels in France. The website also gave them information about places of interest to visit. The girls got more excited as they read more about Pairs - the city of romance. They were not exactly on a romantic mission, but they felt excited all the same! From the website, they found out they could visit Disneyland too! They started to look up some Paris Disneyland Hotels. They found out they could stay comfortably close to Disneyland at an affordable price! Bao-er practically clapped her hands with joy! Oh boy! A chance to rediscover her childhood at Disneyland in France! How cool was that?
The three girls booked their hotels in Paris on line, and were ready to pack and fly off to Paris. They were glad everything could be done on line so easily. They looked forward to a hassle-free vacation. They had worked hard for so long, they thought it was a well-deserved holiday.

Remembering Shanghai...
This was Bao-er's first trip to Shanghai, her second to China. She was surprised to find this city modern, and "rich", unlike the city of Cheng-du she visited years, and years ago.
She had some friends in Shanghai, and most of them spoke fluent English. They all held jobs that were demanding, and challenging. Bao-er's friends took her to a wholesale market place, called "Yu Yuan" which sold stuff Bao-er had seen sold at China Town in Singapore. The items were triple the price found at "Yu Yuan"! Bao-er loved "Yu Yuan". She got some lovely Chinese silk purses, table cloths, and table runners from one store. She also bought a number of jade bracelets for her friends back home.
The food in Shanghai was incredibly delicious! Perhaps, her friends were good hosts, and took her to all the good restaurants. However, she did venture out on her own sometimes, and the restaurants she picked served good food too! She especially liked the "Dou Jiang" (soy bean milk) and "You Tiao" (made of flour - bread like "sticks") she got from one small restaurant.

Visit Bug!
If you haven't seen these posters, or if these posters make you curious, and you want to check out the mystery behind Bug, visit this site!
These bug movie posters ring with sinister mystery. The one with the bug of course, suggests something scary, sending chills down one's spine. Ashley Judd is embedded in the body of the bug, suggesting a mystery involving a beauty. Beauty and the bug - the perfect combination of an enticing mystery! The poster is in black, and white. It's actually a beautiful picture. Ashley looks beautiful and vulnerable trapped in the body of the bug!
The other bug movie poster features Ashley Judd - in GREEN - the "scary" color! Ashley actually looks sinister in this poster, or does she look scared? Within her face is embedded the face of man! So, from the two posters, we gather this mystery involves a bug, a beauty, and possibly, a beast (the man)? However, the first poster has Ashley Judd embedded in its body - could Ashley be the beast disguised as a beauty? Then, the second poster has the face of a man embedded in Ashley, could Ashley be the bug? Did she devour the man? Goodness! I'm hooked on the mystery already!
Guess I'd have to visit this site, to see what I can find out about this movie! Then of course, I'll have to watch the bug movie itself!

Outlet Mall
I've been to San Marcos a number of times. Every time I go there, I won't give the outlet mall a miss! It's a paradise for shoppers! You can get all kinds of brand name products at good prices. One of my favorite stores is the Nike store. Most ot the time you can get a t-shirt for less than $10! It's just a neat store!
If you have kids, be prepared to load up! Carter's, Oshkosh, Children's Place, Baby Gap... There are lots of items on sale. Whatever you're looking for, you can find a store at the outlet mall selling it! There are candle stores, calendar stores, even chocolate stores at the mall. There are scores of clothing stores, and stores selling purses, and suitcases. Of course, there are many stores selling shoes too.
If you get hungry while shopping, you can get something to eat without even leaving the mall! What can I say? The San Marcos Outlet Mall is just a shopper's paradise!

Pay A Visit to Accounting Paradise!
Barry had just moved to another State with his family. His mother was getting old, and he needed to be closer to her to take care of her.
He had decided to set up his own company, so that he could have more flexible hours, and be on hand to meet his mom's needs, when they should arise. Barry did not have a lot of capital, so he was trying to minimize his expenses, but yet have a viable business going. He did not have a lot of contacts in the new environment, so he basically had to start from scratch. However, before he left, he had a friend who had also set up his own business a while ago, and was doing pretty good. He recommended him a company which specialised in taking care of payroll for small business. Barry was glad he could transfer the headache of accounting to someone else. This company promised to try to achieve the lowest price for their customers, set up an easy system for their clients so that anybody could continue their work. This accounting company also did not require their customers to sign a long term contract with them. They were confident the standard of their service would bind their clients to them without a contract!
Barry liked the company's confidence. It made him confident hiring their services to do his books. Barry looked forward to taking care of the other parts of his business, since he did not have to worry about the books any more!
