I wish I were in Germany for Octoberfest!

Anyone planning a vacation in Germany this year? It’d be great to visit in time for Octoberfest wouldn’t it? Beer, sausages, snitchel, and sauerkraut. Yum. If you are planning on going to Octoberfest I hope that you already looked for Hotels in Berlin. I actually think the festivals on right now. Oops. Well maybe next year for Octoberfest then. How about touring some castles or going to some of the famous spa resorts in Germany then?

I’d like to visit Vienna someday. It sounds like such a beautiful city. I know that I’d like to go on some of the walking tours in Vienna and perhaps even do some wine tasting too. I’m not sure that it’d be a good idea to combine the two activities though!

I’ve heard that there’s some beautiful Hotels in Vienna. The Bristol Hotel looks like a castle. It’s amazing! I think I’d want to stay there if I were going to Vienna. It’s a full service hotel from what I’ve read.

Have you been to Europe? Maybe Germany? What Hotels in Berlin would you recommend? As I said earlier theres a lot of reasons to visit Berlin, Germany and I hope that one day well visit that city as well as Vienna and a few other European must see cities as well.

A whale of a wall

Photo Theme. Visit participants.

This weeks theme is Original

This is a photo that my wife took a year or so ago. We were driving in downtown Toronto along Lakeshore BLVD and I believe this mural is painted on the side of the Redpath sugar refinery building.

It’s a gigantic mural. The building is at least 100 feet tall and 50 feet wide if not even bigger and the mural covers the extent of one whole side of the building. It’s beautiful!

If that’s not original I don’t know what is!

Stay in a Vacation Home on Kauai

Planning your winter vacation? Perhaps you want to visit Hawaii? Why not do something a little different this time round?

Most of the time when people go on vacation they end up staying in one room hotel or motel rooms. How boring is that? Yes I know, if you’re having a good vacation you aren’t in the room all that much, but still wouldn’t it be nicer to stay in one of the beautiful Poipu vacation rentals or the Waipouli Beach Resort? Personally, I know I’d much prefer that to a one room cramped hotel room any day.

If you want to stay in beautiful vacation rental homes and condos you should visit the RE/MAX Kauai website. They specialize in rentals on the beautiful island of Kauai.

One of the great things about staying on a vacation rental is that you can stay with your family or friends because most of the vacation homes have two or three bedrooms. Some have several bedrooms. Share the cost of the rental with your friends. Maybe your vacation will even end up being less costly than if you’d simply rented a hotel room.

Visit the RE/MAX website and take a look at the Waipouli, Poipu and Kauai vacation rentals. You can browse through all of the listings and book vacation accommodations while online.

Binoculars as a gift?

I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out what kinds of gifts I could get my friends and family this coming Christmas. The idea of giving a pair of binoculars to a couple of these people occurred to me.

We’ve got really nosy neighbors … sometimes I think that I might as well give them a set of binoculars. Am I joking? Uh maybe, maybe not. They really are totally nosy. Why not make it easier for them to stare at us? They’re gonna do it anyway.

Nah, but I think my Uncle might find a pair of binoculars useful. He lives in an area where he can over see a beautiful park. He’s always telling us about the birds he sees- blue jays, cardinals, huge crows. You name it and he’s probably seen it. Yeah, I think I will get him a pair. He’s been great to us over the years and I think he’d use this gift and really enjoy it. Ok one down on the gift list. Muh hahahahah!

Hey, maybe I could do the same with my brother. He goes to a lot of baseball games and football games. What could be better than a pair of binoculars at a game? Yep, I think I nailed that one. Two down on the old gift list. I’m doing well aren’t I?

I have no idea what type I’d get for either of them though. There are so many brands and types of binoculars. I just went searching and I found a site that tells you how to buy binoculars. I think I might spend a bit of time there reading the information. Hopefully it will help me decide which type would be best for each of them. The site that I found that information on Opticsplanet.net also sells binoculars and offers free UPS shipping on orders over $29.95. I guess I’ll spend sometime looking at what they have to offer too.
