Planning a much needed vacation

by Tricia

Speaking of traveling. I keep saying that Chris and I need to go on a vacation. We haven’t been anywhere for ages, and when we have gone to another city we’ve almost always ended up staying with family.

Somehow that’s just not the type of holiday I’ve been craving.

I have a few places that I’d like to vacation in. I’d love to go to Costa Rica, several places in Europe and for some reason I’d like to go to Orlando to go to Disney World.

Quite the mix eh?

Actually the only place that probably is feasible right now is Orlando. We could fly or drive and it would still end up costing less than flying to Costa Rica or Europe! When we go to Disney World we’d probably stay in an Orlando vacation home rental. I really don’t care for hotels all that much and if we rented a vacation home we’d be able to cook our own meals and relax a bit more than we would in a hotel. It’d feel more home like.

Have you stayed in vacation homes when you’ve traveled?

Where do traveling business people stay?

by Tricia

Have you ever traveled, perhaps for business and ended up staying in one of those Condo Hotels?

To the best of my knowledge condo hotels are similar to hotels as far as book and service goes but because the accommodations really are in a condo I think they are meant for longer stays.

That’s why I was asking if any one had traveled on business and stayed in one. Perhaps you were assigned to an office in another city for three to six months to train for a higher promotion or to train other employees? I could see businesses renting out condo’s for long periods of time to house their traveling employees in.

Just Joey is Just Blooming!

by Tricia

I posted a photo of one of my roses in bud form for Wednesday’s Wordless Wednesday post and a few commenter’s wanted to see what this lovely rose looked like when it’s in full bloom:

justjoey4

How is that for a beautiful bloom?

Just Joey is a gorgeous, if slightly temperamental hybrid tea rose. I say it’s temperamental because in my zone it does fairly well through the winter, but the stems do die down to the snow line. With winter protection it does much better and blooms earlier.

Just Joey has a lovely scent. One or two blooms indoors fill a room with scent.

If you live in zone 5 or higher I recommend that you get this rose. You will not be disappointed.
