Facts About Alaska


It's wintertime in Alaska, and the pristine beauty is available for all who want to view it. There'll be Christmas festivities in which to join in, sled dog races, photography contests, and mid-winter carnivals.

Here are a few things to try to experience while in AK, as its called.

Blanket toss - if you're athletic, give a blanket toss a try. The Eskimos used to do this, tossing a sharp-eyed hunter 20 feet in the air so that he could see if there were any seal or walrus about. 30 or so people will hold the blanket, and give any willing customer a ride they will never forget.

Aurora Borealis - this spectacular display of shimmering lights is most often seen from August to April, and the best cities in which to view them are Barrow and Fairbanks.

Eskimo Ice Cream - a delicacy you must sample while you're in Alaska. It is traditionally made of whipped berries, seal oil and snow. However different variations of it can be found throughout the state.

Another delicacy to try is sourdough, used to make bread and hot cakes.

Tis the season to relax and have fun

Thanksgiving was Thursday, November 26, 2009, and I hope everyone who celebrates that holiday had a good one. Now, today, Black Friday, a large percentage of people are going to venture out to their local stores in hopes of finding bargains, and starting their Christmas/holiday shopping now.

Now's the time to start planning your Christmas vacation as well, if you haven't already done it. (After all, for "big" holidays like 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's usually best to make plans a year in advance, if you're trying to get in to a particular resort or vacation package!)

How about being on board the inaugural cruise of the Oasis of the Seas, the newest cruise ship from Royal Caribbean? Take a look at what http://www.cruisedirect.com is offering!

It departs December 5 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, cruises down to the Caribbean, and then returns to port 7 days later, on December 12.

Here's the cabin costs:

Interior Oceanview Balcony Suite
from $1299 from $1549 from $1699 from $4829

If December 5 is too soon for you to go, rest assured that this ship sails on a weekly basis throughout the month of December and into the new year.

Check it out.

Cool fall evenings and a room at a B&B

BedandBreakfast.com has no real specials going on at the moment besides the one I've already told you about, their Fantastic Fall Sale where you can save up to $100 per stay at those B&Bs participating in the program.

It's been a couple of weeks since I highlighted that special, so I'll tell you about it again.

"The more nights you book, the more money you save!" is the slogan. And here's the savings:

Book 2 Nights Save $50
Book 3 Nights Save $75
Book 4+ Nights Save $100

The deal ends November 3, so you've still got a couple of weeks to take advantage of it.

B&Bs in Oregon, as well as across the country, are participating. How about the Old Wheeler Hotel, at 495 Highway 101 in Wheeler?

A charming, historic refuge in the heart of beautiful downtown Wheeler, Oregon (population 350). Lovingly restored, the Old Wheeler Hotel offers stunning views of Nehalem Bay. Come relax in this tranquil setting. You can snuggle up and be pampered in one of our beautifully appointed rooms with sumptuous bed linens, thick towels, and antique furniture. Gaze out at blue herons, eagles, and herds of elk that routinely inhabit the landscape. Spend a day fishing or kayaking on the bay. Rent a motor boat from the marina across the street and cruise up the river to the town of Nehalem, or down the river to the Pacific ocean! Browse Wheeler's unique antique stores, art galleries, and gift shops. Excellent restaurants and shopping are just steps away from our front door!


In today's hustle and bustle world, that sounds like just the ticket.

Where is East Orlando?

When you're traveling to a certain city with which you're unfamiliar, it behooves you to learn a bit about the place before you make your hotel reservations.

Such is the case with Orlando. Priceline is offering some nice discounts on hotels in East Orlando... so you may be asking yourself, where's East Orlando, and what's there?

Check out "East Orlando" at Wikipedia.. and it redirects you to the page for the whole city. A lot of help that is!

Well...here's where you go if you want to find out about communties in East Orlando: Community Guide: East Orlando.

Anyway, back to Priceline.com's deal.

You can "name your price" in East Orlando, for a 3-star hotel, and find one for $60 a night.

Priceline Hotel Partner:

Little remains of this original city, which burnt in fires that struck the city in 1885 and 1915, but its main decline has happened since the 1960s and today Colon is poverty stricken.

Beaches Resorts celebrates WonderFall

Fall is in the air...finally... and it's time to visit one of Beaches fine resorts in the Caribbean, either on the Turks & Caicos or on Jamaica. Fall is wonderful on either lovely island!

Beaches in Jamaica

Visit Beaches Boscobel for a spacious pool and watersports such as snorkeling and scuba diving. Play tennis, volleyball, or golf at nearby Sandals Golf & Country Club. For kids there's a Kids Camp with a state-of-the-art XBOX 360® Game Garage.

Beaches Negril is located within twenty acres of land fragrant with the scent of jasmine. The architecture of this result is fantastic, and only hints at the comforts within.

Beaches Sandy Bay is a "laid-back hideaway."

Turks & Caicos

Beaches Turks & Caicos is a rather unimaginative name for a beautiful resort.

This resort features three different flavors, with its Italian, French or Caribbean Villages. Scuba diving is its raison d'etre, the waters are practically transparent and you'll discover an infinite variety of tropical fish.

Bed and Breakfast: Walden on the Pond

Ever stay at a B&B just because of the name? Doesn't Walden on the Pond evoke memories of that beautiful movie starring Jane and Henry Fonda?

Well, it wasn't part of the movie but check out the Walden on the Pond B&B anyway! It's located at 412 Ocean Road in Spring Lake, NJ.

Here's the info from their website:

The Walden on the Pond is located on a romantic salt water lake and is registered with the Spring Lake Historical Society as an Historical Site.

Take a step back in time to the Victorian era, when vacationers came to relax and take canoe rides from their lake over to the Grand Ball Rooms on the Ocean.

Get away from the hustle and bustle of the City and relax on their wicker-filled porch and be renewed by beautiful beaches that are just three blocks away.

Spring Lake offers an array of activities including Concerts in the Park and a village three blocks away where you can shop at lovely boutiques or enjoy fine dining. Golf, tennis, and boating are nearby. Bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas are available.
