That’s me in the mirror behind the camera lens. I know. It’s not a very flattering photo. For effect, I just wanted to show that I took the awesome photos of that hotel lobby where we stayed in Arizona last spring. After ten I lost count on how many different parking lots, reservation desks, lobbies, elevators or rooms we surfed last year. This is about number eight, I think.

Check out that mirror! To me, it was the most interesting piece of decor in the entire hotel. And believe me, I walked around to check it out. Cephas laughs at me sometimes but I love to photograph hotel lobbies, the furniture settings in lounge areas and reservation desks. It’s just a hobby but it amuses me.

This interesting mirror can be found in Mesa, Arizona at the Extended Stay America Hotel. When you visit, take your photo looking in the mirror and share it with me! We could make a collage together if enough people would take the challenge.

Meanwhile, watch for me to be lurking in some hotel lobby or on the grounds with my trusty camera snapping away.

I went online searching for five star hotels hoping to find some classy world hotels in Greece and found the choices a little tough. There were so many available but after I viewed the listings and photographs, I chose the Arion Resort and Spa based on the location, the view and the stylish rooms and plentiful classy amenities and services. If I had to start a vacation in Greece, I would begin in the ancient city of Athens for obvious reasons. Athens is a center of commerce and tourism today while maintaining a historical significance surpassed only by the isle of Patmos where John the revelator had the visions of the Biblical Apocalypse.

One of my dreams is to visit the Middle East countries of Israel, Egypt and Jordan. I've been researching places to stay during my trip next year. I could be visiting for over a month so I want to find the best hotels available close to the sites I am choosing to visit. Tel Aviv Hotels offers hotel listings throughout the area as well as vacation apartments. The second option will be better for me if I choose an extended stay. Either way, I'll find what I'm looking for on their website.

If you are not sure what type of hotel you want or have a question about location, find a local expert by using the tab on their website. It's located on the upper right hand side. Personally, I will rely on this expert help because I would not know the difference between a 3 star and a 4 star hotel. Rest assured that Tel Aviv Hotels can find either one for you. Whether you want simplicity or luxury you will find everything listed from one end of the spectrum to the other. Now pack your bags for the vacation of a lifetime rich in history, culture and excitement.

I've never taken a cruise though I've been tempted to indulge. Due to my lack of experience I would not know how to begin to price Cruise Deals or how to choose a reputable company. I'd also wonder if the ship was safe so I'd turn to a company that is certified in providing this information. I visited Cruise Dealership and was relieved to find all sorts of technical information I would not have thought to verify.

For example, I checked out a Caribbean cruise and found details on public areas, the ship's itinerary and deck plans as well as a map showing the stops. The site contains many search widgets that allow queries into sailing dates, ports and destinations. It's easy to look for the best cruise deals and to find all the available discounts. For instance, check 55+ or check the military button and find out what other discounts you can get on your chosen cruise. Enjoy the high seas this summer and all the hottest vacation stops on the water.

Taking a trip is an exciting adventure with lots of details to attend. One oversight many people have is checking the weather. They pack their bags, purchase tickets, reserve hotels and restaurants, rent cars and plan a sight seeing itinerary. If you are traveling to a foreign country but don't speak the language, there is a tool that can help you translate the weather into your language. For instance, Spanish Weather
