A European Vacation

by

One of these days Chris and I are going to go on a European vacation. When we go I’d want to go to England, France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. I’m sure that if we can take a long enough vacation I’d add a few other countries to my list too!

We won’t be going for a long time, but if you are, you might be looking for Hotels in Berlin or perhaps some beautiful Hotels in Vienna? Try cheaperthanhotels.co.uk where you’ll find discount hotel room rates and you can book them right online too.

If you go to Vienna you might enjoy going on a wine tasting tour, or if you are there for New Years you should attend the Imperial Ball.

Me? I’d go on some hiking tours. I’ve learned of a hiking tour called the 7 Resort Walk in the Austrian Alps and it sounds like a lot of fun. It’d also be great exercise too. Of course I’d have my cameras on hand as I’m sure the scenery would be absolutely amazing!

I’m sure some of the Hotels in Vienna are quite old as well so there’d probably be some lovely restored hotels to stay in as well. I enjoy visiting historic sites and buildings so it would be very interesting to stay in a hotel that had some history to it as well.

I know that several people that read this blog are from Europe. What kind of activities or locations should we visit when we go to Europe some time in the distant future?

This summer my husband and I went to an outdoor art exhibit and the exhibit that I enjoyed the most was the one put on by a metal work artist.

This looks like a blue jay either guarding it’s nest or possibly landing or flying away from it’s nest. What do you think? I love that there’s actually eggs in the nest too.

All of the metal art work was made from recovered metal such as propane tanks and oil tanks.

Approaching the dock

At the end of August my brothers and sister, nephews and nieces and I all got together for a big family reunion. One of the activities that most of us did together was to go on a dinner boat cruise on Lake Ontario.

This is a photo of Toronto’s harbor front as our boat approached it’s dock at the end of the cruise:

Isn’t that pretty?

It was such a nice evening too!

The Realtravel Blog

by

If you enjoy traveling you might also enjoy this travel blog. It’s called the RealTravel Blog and it’s written by a group of editors who’ve gathered the best travel related stories, recommendations and photos from the realtravel.com community.

There’s nothing like hearing accounts of peoples experiences in another country before you decide whether to go there for a couple weeks vacation. The latest post on the travel blog is a list that’s been compiled by couple who left their home in Minnesota in April 2006 to travel around the world. The list is, of course, about their top ten unforgettable experiences around the world. They’ve been to some amazing places! In fact, I think all of the places mentioned on their list are also places that my husband and I have discussed visiting. Hopefully we’ll get to visit these sites some day. For now we can just be voyeurs and learn from others experiences.

Check out the categories on the travel blog. It’s pretty much a list of countries. Each country category has several posts within it that list some of the nicest places in each country to visit. Again, all the posts are accounts of other peoples fantastic vacations.

Visit and or bookmark this blog. I think it would be a good resource for anyone planning a holiday.

The beach at Sunset

I don’t think there’s any better combination than a sunset over water.

I took this photo during the summer during one of our many visits to The Beach area in Toronto.

I love this city as there is so much to do here. Live theater, festivals – one being the Toronto Film Festival that just ended, nightlife, the many parks and of course the beautiful beach area.

Lake Ontario is huge. If you’ve never seen it before and didn’t know it was one of the Great Lakes you’d probably think it was the ocean. I know my photos of it have fooled many people into thinking I live by the sea!

Do you have a beach area in your city or town?
