Stay in comfort in a furnished apartment in when you stay in Dubai

by

If you’re traveling to Dubai for a vacation or possibly to live there while you are on a work assignment you’re going to need a place to stay.

If you will be staying for any length of time you might want to look into renting an apartment while you are there.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I have to stay in a hotel for more than three days I dislike it. Depending what area I’m visiting I’d much rather stay in a cabin, or some kind of vacation rental home. It’s not home, but it certainly feels much more like home than a one room hotel room does! I also like having a kitchen and being able to cook my meals or warm food.

As I was saying, if you will be in Dubai and if you don’t want to stay in a tiny hotel room for weeks on end why not look into one of the lovely dubai hotel apartments or dubai apartments available at dubaiapartments.biz.

The apartments are being rented out by their private owners and property managers and they are often luxury apartments that cost much less to stay in than in a hotel. Of course you can also find some very nice dubai hotels listed at dubaiapartments.biz.

All of the apartments for rent are of the quality of a three star hotel or greater. I believe all of the apartments are furnished and have all of the amenities that you would need to make your stay comfortable.

The site is very easy to use. Just go to the site, select the location that you hope to find, select the price range that you desire, the date that you need the rental, amount of bedrooms as well as a few other features and the site will bring up a list of potential rentals to select from. Once you find one you like you can follow the easy instructions and book the furnished apartment.

You can view photos of many of the apartments that are available for rent as well.

Dubaiapartments.biz is the largest short term rental portal in Dubai. There are over 120 self catering properties listed. So if you are going to be staying in Dubai stay in comfort and rent an apartment.





Thanks to travel insurance I could have canceled my trip

by

I’m so glad I bought travel insurance when I went to Las Vegas. I knew it was a good idea. I’ve got Crohns and I’d been very sick for about a month and a half before we left for our trip. In fact, I’d even been in the hospital for a bowel obstruction just a few days before we got on our flight!

I shouldn’t have gone on the trip at all given the circumstances, but I went anyway … knowing that I’d purchased the deluxe medical insurance and travel insurance package. I could have canceled my trip and the travel insurance would have allowed me to get a refund since I really was sick and had proof of my illness. Without the insurance I would have lost money if I’d canceled.

As it was I got even sicker while in Vegas. I seriously considered seeing a doctor or going to a hospital!

Once we got home I continued to be sick for about a week longer then I started to feel better. Thats when we got the puppy and now due to lack of sleep and too much activity I think my Crohns is starting to act up again. I can’t seem to win.

Do you purchase travel insurance when you buy your tickets for a flight? Have you ever had to use your insurance?

I must visit Arizona some day

by

I was just thinking about our recent trip to Las Vegas and how lovely the scenery was as we flew over Arizona and Nevada.

We got to see a bit of the Grand Canyon from the airplane window and the rest of the landscape we saw was so beautiful! I love the red rock and rich colored sands of Arizona.

I’d love to visit the State sometime. Hey perhaps when I get older I’ll even look for Arizona real estate and retire there. Why not? So many other people go to Arizona to retire.

I wish I’d thought of trying to take some photos from the plane. They probably wouldn’t be that great, but I could at least have shown you what I saw from so far above.

Have you been to Arizona? Is it as lovely as I think it is?

I really enjoyed Chicago

This weeks theme is I loved Chicago

I know I’m just back from Las Vegas, but I was busy and I was sick while I was there so while I enjoyed the city … well the strip I mean, I didn’t get a really good feel for the town. Chicago, on the other hand, which I visited last year, I managed to get a really good feel for and I just loved that city!

I found Chicago to be very much like the city I live in – Toronto. Yes of course there are major differences, but there are also a lot of similarities. I felt very comfortable there as I explored the downtown area. I’d definitely return to Chicago for another visit!

We’re home and I’m freezing!

We’re back from Las Vegas!

I was just saying on my gardening blog that I already miss the Vegas weather as it’s cold and dreary here in Toronto! I am, however, very glad to be home since I continued to be quite sick while I was away on my trip and managed to get even sicker!

It’s much better to be at home when you feel absolutely horrible. If my Crohn’s acting up wasn’t enough I woke up with a terribly sore throat this morning. I’ve been drinking warm liquids all day and sometimes it feels a bit better but then it gets worse again. I hope it’s just post nasal drip or something making my throat feel so bad and not strep throat or something.

Other than not feeling very well while I was in Las Vegas I managed to have a good time. I met up with some bloggers that I’ve known for years, others that I’ve only known a short while and hopefully made a few new blogging friends too.

We never managed to have time to try out the gambling in Vegas, so I missed out on that experience -gambling virgin that I am! Oh well. We did go out to a few clubs, one of which was the famous TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel.

TAO is huge! It’s a beautiful nightclub though, and the staff were very friendly. Oh and their finger foods were delicious! They served us spring rolls, sushi, won tons filled with shrimp and lobster, Kobe beef mini hamburgers and tiny deserts. I’m sure there were a few other finger foods that I missed too. All were delicious!

On Thursday night my husband and I got together with Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel. He’d already eaten but he met us at the Outback while we ate. We then got in touch with some of the other bloggers that were in town for the convention and we all eventually met up at a bar called Tattoo Alley.

What a great time!

The band was fantastic and I think we all had a good time drinking and talking and joking around. My husband Chris bought a feathered boa for Mr. Fab and when the other bloggers joined up with us the boa got passed around. I think Colleen or Jules were last scene wearing it.

I’ve got lots of photos to upload and post. Some could be embarrassing to those who were with us that night! I’ll get them up soon!

More about my trip later. I’m still recovering!
