Rock Bottom Competition

What an arm!

A Pennsylvania man set the world record by skipping a single stone on water 51 times.

Russell Byars, 43, shattered the previous record of 40 skims.

“I actually threw 40 stones that day, but that was the first skip that I threw,” said Byars, who is known as “Rock Bottom” in the competitive stone-skipping world.

Easytobook has great prices for hotel rooms worldwide

Summers virtually over and you’re either back to school or back to work now, but I bet you can’t help thinking of what you might do or where you might go for your next holiday. Am I right?

If you are starting to plan your next vacation you might be interested in visit the easytobook.com website. I think this site is great. You can find hotels to book your stay in, in most of the major cities of the world.

For example if you are planning a trip to Spain you might be interested in visiting the Barcelona Hotels page. Perhaps you are going to London to research your family history? Check out the London Hotels listings on Easytobook.com. All of the listings allow you to compare prices, have descriptions of the hotels rooms and services as well as listings for nearby attractions! Oh and you can also see how others who’ve stayed in the hotels on their vacations have rated each hotel as well.

We’re actually thinking of going to New York in the spring so I’m going to bookmark the New York Hotels page. As we get closer to the time of our vacation I’ll visit the site and see if I can find us a nice room at a decent price. I’m pretty sure we’ll find a good deal.
