Where to visit next?

Here is a game for someone who can't decide where to go to for a holiday.

Atlas Obscura has listed 24,336 places with extraordinary sights to visit at their site. Close your eyes and just roll your mouse all over the map and right click it.  If you can't afford the trip to the destination you have just discovered, I am sure you can find some videos on YouTube about the place so that you can visit it from the comfort of your couch.

By doing that I discovered inforamtion about Soyuz 11 Memorial. Not a place I will consider visiting for a holiday though but the story behind it is interesting but sad.

That is a lot to download but if you don’t print them out, how are you going to find them useful if there is a power outage and you cannot use your computer?

Check out this, “More Show Me How” book. It is like a picture dictionary book on life skills that even your kids will find easy to understand.

Traveling? Pack less.

Do you tend to be more daring when you are away from home?  I have a tendency to try things that I would never consider doing back home.  Like screaming my head off going on thrill rides at theme parks.  Well, it's part of the holiday package deal after all.

Now I am wondering if I have the guts to pack less in my luggage by going for the Vestido Multi Look. Don't know what's that?  Then watch how it is worn.



Packing less is not a bad idea, especially when the currency of your country is stronger than the one you are going to and there are bargains to be found.
