Perhaps I’ll vacation in Hawaii sometime soon

by

I’ve never been to Hawaii, but lately I find that I’ve been craving a vacation in an exotic land. I know, it’s spring here and the weather will be getting nicer soon, but I haven’t been on a real vacation in ages and I’d just love to take off to someplace renowned for it’s beauty like Hawaii.

I just visited a website called Kauai Eco-tourism Vacation Rentals. They specialize in beach rentals, and their agents hand-pick the various properties offerings in order to ensure high quality vacation spots for those interested in visiting Hawaii.

Agents working with Hawaii Beach Rentals will help you plan and customize you vacation so that you can be assured of getting the type of vacation that you’ve always dreamed of.

When you visit the website you’ll first see listings for luxurious beach rentals. Many of these beach rental vacation homes have several bedrooms and are of course, close to the beach and provide all of the amenities that you will need to have a pleasant one or two week stay on the mainland or one of the islands.

The website is also set up for airfare, hotel, and car rental bookings. You can also take a look at their complete vacation packages and book them online directly from the Hawaii Beach Rentals site.

Ecotourism is an important reason why Hawaii and the Island of Kauai has become a popular vacation area. While staying in Hawaii you’ll be able to visit many exotic locations unlike anything that you’ve experienced in your own homeland. Contact the agents at Hawaii Beach Rentals to learn more about Ecotourism and the types of locations or activities that you’d be able to participate in while staying in Hawaii.






Fragrant Cloud

Fragrant cloud

Fragrant Cloud is a hybrid tea rose. I’ve only got one growing in my garden.

I think mine might be struggling. It’s never grown much, and reaches a maximum height of about two to two and a half feet each year. It does produce lovely full roses with tons of huge petals. However it only blooms two to three times per season for me and surprisingly I haven’t found the flowers to be all that fragrant.

I grow this rose beside Just Joey which out grows, out performs and out scents Fragrant Cloud by miles! Still I love this rose. It’s fighter. It keeps coming back each year.

Let’s hope it does this year now that I said that!

Blogger Award Season Continues

by

Did you know that there are more blogging award nominations going on? I was surprised too.

A company that I sometimes do some blogging with decided to create blogger awards that they’ve decided to name The Bl0ggers Choice Awards.

The winning sites in each of the 33 categories will be announced on June 2nd at the P0stieC0n convention in Florida.

If you’d like, you can nominate your own site or sites, and as many other bloggers in the various categories as you like. You can also vote for as many blogs as you’d like to, but I believe you can only vote for a blog once per category.

I’m not exactly sure how long blog nominations will go on as the information I have says that we can nominate and vote for sites through the month of March, but of course it’s April and the site has only just been announced. Perhaps they meant that we can nominate and vote through April? I’m sure they’ll put a clarification up on the Bl0ggers Ch0ice Award site shortly.

To nominate a site simply register for an account and start nominating sites in each of the many categories. It’s unfortunate but I don’t really see a category that this site or others like it might be listed in. Perhaps the educational blog award category? They really need to add a hobby or recreational blog award don’t they?

I haven’t made any nominations yet, but I guess with no limitation on the amount of blogs that one could nominate I could potentially nominate all of my favorite blogs and bloggers. I’d really love it if someone would be kind enough to nominate this site and or any of my other sites.

What are you waiting for? Go and nominate your favorite sites now. I’ll be along shortly to add my many nominations to the list too!
