The Grand Canyon is spectacular. I defy anyone to stand at the rim and not be swept away by the grandeur and spectacular beauty before them. Just take a look at the photo we took on our holiday, as you can see there is snow still on the ground. As we stated in a previous post, we spoke to a man in Ash Fork who told us that it was just a big hole in the ground nothing to waste your time on. Well he was definitely wrong and if you get the chance to go to the Grand Canyon…

A Brief Guide to Hearst Castle in San Simeon California
Hearst Castle is a must see destination when visiting California. There are plenty of historic homes to visit but Hearst Castle is the premier stop when you’re on the west coast. Read on for a guide to Hearst Castle! William Randall Hearst, an American Newspaper Magnate, inherited a 250,000 acre ranch from his mother on her death in 1919.

From Canberra to Sydney with our Garmin Nuvi 255
Last week we drove from Canberra to Sydney to attend an affiliate marketing conference. This was an event that came out of the blue for us so it was a spur of the moment decision to attend. Now we’re used to travelling at a moments notice – in fact we prefer it – so only having a couple of days to book accommodation wasn’t a big deal for us. And after quickly checking out the hotels near the event in Hurlstone Park (a suburb of Sydney), we decided instead to stay in the city centre and drive out each day. We…
Plan Your Caribbean Holiday – A Romantic Getaway
For many couples, the Caribbean is the ultimate romantic escape. The most popular retreat is a private villa. Prices and services vary so before you book, you may like to consider the following. Many villas offer maid service before you arrive and after you have left but charge extra for daily cleaning and bed making. Also, if you want total privacy, you may not want daily maid service.

Is it Against the Law to Chew Chewing Gum in Singapore?
Is it against the law to chew chewing gum in Singapore? Unfortunately there isn’t a simple yes or no answer to it. More like a maybe yes…. Singapore outlawed chewing gum in 1992. The main reason for this was to reduce all the clean up costs of people sticking used gum anywhere but a trash can. It may seem like a draconian measure to most, but it did work to help clean up the country. Singapore has been mocked for years over its laws restricting personal freedoms and harsh punishments. Caning is still a popular punishment, basically beating the convict…
