Just My Rambling

When I first visited Australia fifteen years ago, I was supposed to tour around the entire Australia. However, after visiting Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, a work emergency came up and I had to cut short my vacation. So, I did not manage to visit Western Australia. I have been always been planning to go back someday and visit Perth. After fifteen long years, I am finally going to complete my Australian trip next year.

So, what will I be doing in Perth? First of all, I will just relax and enjoy some fine dining in restaurants with gorgeous views of the Swan River. What’s next? Shopping, of course! I heard that Fremantle is a great shopping place. I will love to explore the local markets in Fremantle and discover all the unique items that they have. My friend bought some beautiful opals when he went to Perth. Hopefully I will be able to find some opals too

My husband loves wine, so he’s definitely interested in visiting Swan Valley, one of Western Australia’s oldest wine regions. I am sure he will be adding some wine to his wine collection. I guess I better bring an extra luggage to fit all his wine and my shopping finds! As for my Perth accommodation, I have already found some discount hotels that were right within my budget and right next to the Swan River too. I am off to find my extra luggage. Maybe I’ll bring two? What do you think?

I have just received news that a friend of mine has accepted a job transfer to Paris for 3 years. I am so happy for her because this means a major job promotion for her. This also means that she will be able travel around France and visit all the famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum. Oh, I am so jealous!! LOL!

Since she plans to move all her belongings there, she will need to find international movers to help her move. According to her, she plans to use InternationalMovers.com to help with the international shipping. I wish her all the best and maybe I can visit her during her short time there.

Have you ever been to Costa Rica? Well, I haven’t but I am hoping that I can make a trip there next summer. That’s why I have been trying to gather as much Costa Rica Information as I can. I found a few companies that specialize on Costa Rica Travel. I think I will book a vacation package with them. I just can’t decide on which one I like right now but it will definitely have to include a trip to the rainforest to see some amazing wildlife. I am also going to check on the Costa Rica Real Estate just in case I decide to buy an investment property there.

Seventeen years ago, I visited New York for the first time. Even though it was only a very short trip, I still remember how much fun I had on that trip. Now, seventeen years later, I am sure many things have changed and maybe some have remained the same. I would love to find out for myself. That is why I am planning to make a trip to New York City early next year.

There are so many things to do and see in New York. A visit to the Statue of Liberty will be at the top of my list. Maybe I will try to catch a Broadway show. I wonder which musical will be available during my visit. What else will I do? Definitely a walk in Central Park and if the timing’s right, maybe I can get myself on TV by hanging out at Rockefeller Plaza during the taping of The Today Show.

A trip to New York will not be complete without a shopping spree at the shops on 5th Avenue. Since I am going to be penniless from all the shopping, I guess I better look for cheap hotels to stay in New York. After some research, I find that HotelClub has great deals on New York Hotels. Now I have to go convince my husband to go along with me. Wish me luck!
