Holiday apartments vs hotels

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When we go on holiday we prefer, where we can manage it, to rent a holiday apartment or villa rather than stay in a hotel. Why? because this kind of accommodation gives you so much more freedom than the four walls of a hotel room can offer. The kids like to have space to play and move around and you yourself always prefer to have some space around you as well. If you were holidaying in a romantic location such as Mexico - by the sea and in full view of sunsets, wouldn’t you prefer to see it all from a villa?

There is ample choice for this option and just looking at Rocky Point vacation homes here are prime examples of what you could be in store for on your next holiday. A complete change of scenery, luxury surrounds and a great choice of beautiful properties to choose from. These look fantastic and would suit any type of getaway - family, romantic or just a break from your usual life and environment.  Oceano specialise in rentals in this region and are on hand to assist you get the most of your money and holiday.

Thunderbirds are go!

Ever wanted to be a real Thunderbird? maybe it would be a bit weird after all they were wooden puppets if you remember. However, you will one day be able to take a ride around the world in an airship called Thunderbird 2. 700 ft long it is going to gently float around the globe in the sky ( of course ) and travellers will be able to go along for the ride.

The airship is a floating hotel called the Manned Cloud, and - according to its designers - it will be capable of circling the globe in a few days. The 20 bedrooms will provide the ultimate room with a view as the airship cruises at a height of 18,000ft.  It has a restaurant, a library, a lounge and a gym on the first deck.

On the second level there will be 20 passenger rooms, terraces with panoramic windows, a spa and a bar room. The airship is powered by a giant rear propeller and also has two further engines pointing downwards for vertical take-off.

However, if you’re thinking of checking in, you will have to wait until its expected launch date of 2020. Oh well, I guess considering the cost of those tickets we will all need until then to save up!

Whichever way you say it a ‘rodeo’ is great fun

There are some things that are quintessentially American - grid iron football, baseball, basketball and, of course, the rodeo. This is where you get to see the real cowboys go through their paces and show off their ability to stay in the saddle and rope cattle; the highlight of the rodeo season - and the real event to go to - is the National Rodeo Finals held each year. If you are going to be in the US this coming December, now is your chance and the time to book your seats because this is the premier event and you won’t want to miss it.

At the end of the of the season eight competitors will be crowned as world champions in seven different events; bareback riding; steer wrestling; team roping; saddle bronc riding; tie down roping; bull riding (the real exciting one!) and the only event that is exclusive to women, the barrel racing. You may be suprised that here is an event just for the female competitors but be aware that there is nothing easy about it. The barrel racing involves the highest horsemanship skills, strength on the part of the horse and the best handling skills on the part of the rider.  Of course, which part of the action you see best depends on where you are sitting in the stadium. When purchasing your WNFR Tickets have a good look at the seating options and go from there. If you are a roping or buckling enthusiast you will be wanting to go for seating in the balcony levels, if you wish to be right in the thick of all the action consider Plaza sections.

Wherever you’ll be sitting though it will be an event you will never forget.
