Great flight and vacation deals with Dial a Flight

by

Spring is just about here, and for many of us, thoughts of holidays and travel are starting to fill our heads. Yes, I know that many of you might already be vacationing this month since your kids might have a week off for March Break, but perhaps some of you are planning late spring or summer vacations too?

In the last few years my brother and his wife have become world travelers. Planning exotic vacations to Countries they’ve never visited before. Two years ago they went to Africa. A month ago they went to India. Now they are planning a trip to Nepal for next years holiday.

Now, I’ve visited a site called DialaFlight.com. It’s based out of the UK and mostly services the UK market, but I was thinking that even North Americans planning trips such as ones my brother and his wife have been on recently might take advantage of flights and travel packages offered by Dial A Flight.

Why? Well, I know that on many of my brothers recent trips they ended up stopping over in the UK and catching another flight from England. Why not use Dial a Flight’s offerings for that extra leg of the trip and save some money? More money in your pocket means that you’ll have more to spend when you get to your destination right?

If anyone is thinking of going to Asia you should take a look at the deals that can be found at Dial a Flight. For example a Bangkok Flight from London’s Heathrow Airport is going for only £250 (a little over $500 US) right now. I think that’s an excellent deal.

Other than the prices and great deals, you know what’s really cool about this company? They hire sales people who have been to the destinations that they offer flights and vacation packages to – nothing like talking to someone that’s been where you want to go.

If you are based in the UK or even if your flying through the UK to another destination keep Dial a Flight in mind. You could save some money.






The garden car

Wordless Wednesday

Ever wondered what to do about that old car that your husband insists that he’s going to fix?

Or perhaps your lovely neighbors have a used car lot on their front lawn? Take your cue from this picture and grow a garden in the car!

If it’s been sitting long enough they’ll be plenty of organic material on and in the car. Just add some soil and compost, get one of the packages of “wild garden” or “Country Garden” seeds, sprinkle and lightly water. Before you know it, flowers will grow where only rust was before and you’ll wonder why you didn’t try this earlier.

Lowest prices on Sunglasses at OpticsPlanet

by

Spring is almost upon us, and with it’s warmer temperatures and sunny days many of us who enjoy gardening will be getting outdoors more often. Being outdoors more often means it’s time to start thinking about sunglasses and other forms of eyewear to protect our eyes.

I believe I’ve talked about OpticPlanets.net on this site in the past, but it’s worth mentioning again as they have a sale on their huge line of Sunglasses, Goggles, protective eyewear and many of the other products that they sell.

Opticsplanet carries top of the line quality eyewear from companies like Bobster, Body Specs, Wile X, Bolle, ESS, Revision eyewear and Serengeti. You’ll find everything from designer sunglasses, to Motorcycle and ski goggles. They also have the lowest prices guaranteed.

The company says they offer discount sunglasses, and yes the prices are fantastic, but the quality and choice are great too. I’m leaning towards getting a pair or two of their Serengeti sunglasses because I really like the styles they make. Funny thing is, my husband took a look at OpticsPlanet earlier today and he was fond of the Serengeti eyewear as well. I guess we think alike.

I remember what I told you about OpticsPlanet before. I posted about their line of flashlights, microscopes, binoculars, telescopes and other cool stuff in the past. It’s just a really cool online store that carries a lot of interesting items.

Check it out for yourself. Oh and if you do decide to purchase sunglasses, eyewear or something else from OpticsPlanet you’ll be pleased to know that they offer Free UPS on all orders above $29.95. That’s a pretty good deal.
