London dear London


I´ve lived in London twice. The first time I stayed for eight months and the second time for almost 6 years. Every day there are people from all over the world who comes to London to try a new life. Many end up staying, you kind of get drawn into the busy life and you usually end up liking the hectic lifestyle that comes along with it.

I love London but I´m not sure I would like to move back and work there. A holiday would be nice though. There are loads of things to do in London of course, and if you are a gourmet you can find several nice places to indulge at.
If you have never been to London but are going this is what I´d recommend you to do;

First you need to find a hotel, Cheaper than hotels.UK have got many hotels in London for you to choose from at a good price.
When you are ready to hit town you should start with a relaxing walk in one of the many parks.
I particularly like Regent´s Park that is close to Primrose Hill. Primrose Hill is a wonderful little "village" with some very nice cafe´s where you might spot famous actors if you keep your eyes open. If you have kids they might like to go to the Zoo. Perfect for a quick coffee while you make your way up to Hampstead Heath and it´s surroundings for lunch.

After all that walking you might be a bit tired so go back to your hotel room and rest for half and hour or so and then get ready for some nightlife.
There are plenty of good restaurants around and their is something for every wallet as well. If you really want to visit Gordon Ramseys or a similar famous restaurant it can be good to book a few weeks in advance as it tends to be fully reserved most of the time if not all.
if you need help finding a pub or a club check Time Out London.

Of course you should include a trip to the London Eye and Trafalgar Square. If you are staying in the center there is no need to worry you will miss Piccadilly.
Cheese lovers should visit La Fromagerie which is just off Marylebone High street, close to Baker Street. See you can visit Sherlock Holmes and still get some cheese. La Fromagerie offers high quality cheese, absolutely worth a visit.

I love musicals so I would definitely go and see a show!

But why stop in London if you are going to England? Why not reserve a hotel room in Manchester and see what the rest of England has to offer. Once again, you can easily find Hotels in Manchester where you can have a pleasant stay at an affordable price.

I stayed in London too long and got caught in the working wheel so I didn´t take advantage of the country as I should have. If I would go there again, or maybe i should say when I will go again, I will try and get out and see places I didn´t see.

Cheaper than hotels have got hotels in Birmingham as well as many other places in the UK. A good choice if you want to spend your money on something sweeter. I would rather spend it on food and fun than accommodation, that´s for sure!

If I can help with any London questions, please ask. Or maybe you have got some recommendations yourself that you would like to add? Go ahead!

Hawaii and pineapples


Exotic food and relaxation, that´s what it´s about when you go on a holiday.
I especially like the food part. If the food is not good, then my holiday won´t be either.
I have always found it fascinating to explore new food and one place that has something I like is Hawaii. I like pineapples.
Is there anything more Hawaiian than pineapples and the beautiful flowers?

But you have to live well as well when you go on a holiday. If you have a look at Hawaii travel packages then you will see that there is a lot more to Hawaii then pineapple.

I would like to stay at the Paia Beach House and enjoy my exotic flavored drinks from there.
The house comes with a full kitchen, necessary for a food lover I think.

But what I mostly like is that it is eco tourism friendly. You can rely on that you get quality food and that the environment is looked after.
The local communities benefits from the tourism which I think is really important. Natural resources are use at the hotels not putting too much strain on the nature.

So for eco friendly Hawaii travel packages holiday, visit Hawaiian Beach Rentals.

Aloha!

Wine for the enthusiast

Let me tell you that I am more a wine enthusiast then a beer enthusiast. I enjoy a nice glass of chilled fruity white wine. I don’t drink it very often but when I do I want to make sure that I am drinking a nice wine worth my money.

Good discounts is always good when you buy wine, especially wine enthusiast gift. You don’t want the wine to be too cheap and you also don’t want to spend a fortune. So you need to stay somewhere in the middle. Shopping online sometimes means better deals.

If you are a wine enthusiast you might have seen that the Coupon Heaven offers $25 off if you have a wine enthusiast coupon code . These coupons are very rare so enjoy them while you can!

The world is full of nice wine, you only need to find them and add them to your favorite list of wines. My list is quite small so far but I am increasing it as I try out new ones. For me the perfect wine is white, dry, fruity and slightly sparkling without being too bubbly.

Mmm… I have to say this makes me want to have a glass of wine…

The right utensils

I've said it several times to people; the better cooking utensils you have the easier it is to cook! And it usually goes much smoother as well.
I like easy and quick.That's my motto when I cook.

So I always look for new kitchen utensils and anything that can make my life easier in the kitchen. And sometimes I do find what I am looking for.

Unfortuantely where I live there aren't many big kitchen stores around so then I dream myself away on the internet. And Oh did I find what I was looking for at Instawares!

They have everything you could possibly imagine!

Everyone knows I have a sweet tooth and I am always on the lookout for new things to get me inspired. Actually I haven't got a small baking pan and I will have to buy one soon. It's on my list of "things I need for the kitchen". And I could make my list longer!

Cutters..molds, pans... it's best to stop actually...

I would really like a flour sifter......
