Smaller Hotel Uses The Internet To Help Grow Their Business!

2010-10-09T15:20:00.002-04:00

Found a very interesting little article about a hotel that uses the Internet to help grow their business!

You can check out the article by clicking here.

Personally I always have preferred quaint, little hotels to those great big ones - but then again I'm a romantic at heart!

Dublin, Ireland

2010-05-07T16:14:00.003-04:00

While I have been "romanced" by the scenic views of Ireland I have to admit that I have never even been there - not even once!

So it shouldn't come as no surprise to mention that I have not been to Dublin, Ireland as well!

Ireland has so many lush green areas and to be quite honest I think that I would enjoy the more rural areas than I would enjoy the "city life" in Ireland.

I know that there are castles and all kinds of historical architecture in Ireland but I think that the thing that does it for me are all of those romantic movies that I have seen that have used Ireland as its backdrop.

"The Perfect Storm"

2009-02-16T21:41:00.000-05:00

I just got finished watching this movie and boy what a movie it was!

Although I am quite drawn to the "romance" of living in a fishing village and fishing for a living this movie showed something quite different! I won't give away the ending for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet!

I will say that the movie does take place in the Massachusetts area and I believe that is the same area where Martha's Vineyard is!

Although I haven't fished in a long time I am longing to do so again!

I think that this movie is sad, uplifting at some points but I really fell in love with the scenery and there are men and women out there who's passion and soul lies in the fishing profession!

And I salute them all!

Greece, Sicily!

2009-01-18T10:42:00.002-05:00

This is an absolutely stunning picture from a photography blog where the photography takes pictures of their area which is the Greece and Sicilian areas.

I have only had a chance to glance at this particular blog but that first picture was so good that I thought that I would recommend it here since the entire blog provides very good scenic photos of the areas. (However I should warn you that since this is a photography blog the entire blog may take some time to load!)

What better way to be a "Couch Traveler" then to view photos from the comfort of your own computer - LOL!

Scotland

2009-01-09T22:51:00.003-05:00

I found a very likeable blog today about Scotland. It's called Travel To My Scotland and I liked it right away because there are some gorgeous pictures of Scotland that are included on the blog.

Scotland (and Ireland) is one of the places on my wish list places to visit!

Why? Because there is just something that I like about these areas - the castles, the greenery of it all and of course there are quite a few romantic movies that have UK as their backdrop.

So I intend to visit this blog again and again! Besides loving the pictures that are posted I just like finding out more about the area...........

New York Transit Fares To Go Up?

2008-12-26T22:21:00.004-05:00

There's a rumor going around that the fare may be increasing for New York City's subway riders!

It might be possible that the subway fare will increase from $2 to $2.50!

The transit system is facing a billion dollar deficit and is seeking bailout options and if they don't get them then they will face the possibility of having to raise the base subway fare.

Other transit-related services may be cut as well!

The Running Of The Bulls?

2008-10-24T22:13:00.003-04:00

Although this doesn't seem to be a webcam picture it is quite a good one!

I have always heard about the "running of the bulls" on TV and I believe this event happens somewhere in Spain!

It also looks quite dangerous!

The Gay / Lesbian Community In Liverpool

2008-09-30T16:10:00.002-04:00

Interesting Blog I found about the gay / lesbian / transgender community in Liverpool! If you're into that kind of thing, you may find this blog very useful.

Hawaii

2008-09-26T17:18:00.002-04:00

I was trying to find a good webcam picture of Hawaii and so far this is the best of the bunch! This is in Maui! A lot of the webcam pictures that I have of Hawaii are pictures of the surf line and ocean!

Still, even with this webcam picture it does look like the people who are on the beach are enjoying themselves.

Hawaii is one of the places that I would like to travel to. Their scenery always looks gorgeous! But I have heard that it is very expensive to travel there, much less LIVE there!

Gary's Webcam!

2008-09-16T16:11:00.002-04:00

Not only can you travel to far off and distant places, you can also catch a glimpse (or view) of other people's webcams as well. This webcam picture is from a site know as Gary's Webcam and I take it that it is just a simple webcam setup of where Gary's computer is.

It's always interesting to see how other people have their computers set up, wondering if their computer station is more (or less) messier than my own - Gary's is a LOT neater than my own computer work station!

He does seem to have a lot of computer monitors but he doesn't seem to have too much room!

A Cafe In Austria

2008-08-25T13:43:00.002-04:00

Here is a cafe in Austria!

We all need a drink from time to time!

Welcome!

2008-08-25T13:36:00.003-04:00

I decided to start this blog because I am quite a fan of seeing different places around the world! Some of them I would like to travel to!

Even if you don't get to go to such places around the world at least you can see pictures of them!
