I’ve wondered for years what it would be like to live or vacation in Florida. I love beach communities and I love me some Disney.

I found a website that specializes in Florida villas for sale in the Orlando area. How cool would it be to live close to Disney World? Then again, I’m sure as a resident, some people don’t enjoy that. I know I would enjoy it at least for the first year or so.

Bardell Real Estate also offers villas for rent, so if you just want to vacation in the area, they can help you with that too!

They have some really cute 3-4 bedroom villas for rent over on this site that are just cute as buttons. I really like the lay out of some of them.

Once again, I’m talking about my favorite city in the world (that I’ve been too anyway!)

When visiting New York, do you go it alone or do you go on the tours that are offered everywhere throughout lower Manhattan? When I went the two times in 2004, I went it alone and on the 2nd visit, I took the bus tour several times.

Finding someone to give you a good, honest New York tour might take time and patience.

Family in New York specialize in creating a personal custom sightseeing tour for you and your friends/family. With FINY, the only people present on your tour are you, your family/friends and the tour guide.

FINY picks you up at your hotel, takes you to breakfast and then takes you out for a 9 hour tour of the most fabulous city in the world. They take you to all the great, awesome tourist attractions, as well as some off the beaten path places tour buses can not fit.

I find it fascinating that the tour guides actually walk with you and they take you to each attraction via the subway. How could is that? Ahhh I can’t wait til I get back there.

Until next time…

I’ve always wanted to go to the UK. Specifically Scotland and England. I found a great website that offers last minute hotel rooms at fairly decent prices.

I found the place I would want to stay in the Highlands of Scotland. The Newton Hotel
offers some fantastic stuff!

It was originally built in 1872 as a family home and then became a hotel in 1951. In more recent years, the Newton Hotel has been refurbished and improved upon. The Newton sits on 21 acres of parkland overlooking Nairn Golf Course and beyond to the Moray Firth. It’s very secluded and so the hotel is awesome for people who are after outdoor activities.

They have 56 rooms, and includes 4 suites. Thirty of the rooms were newly completed in 1999 and offer extra large beds and rooms with adjoining suite doors.

The Conservatory offers bar lunches and suppers where I could sample the best in Scottish beef, local seafood and other yummy foods!

There are several places of interest near the Newton Hotel, including the fabled Loch Ness, Nairn Beach, and Inverness Eastgate Shopping Centre (my kind of place!)

I continue to dream of going to Scotland and anywhere else across the pond. How about you?
