Time to start thinking about booking a hotel in Vegas

by

I’m still trying to decide if I’m going to go to Las Vegas in November. I’m really not sure if I’ll be going on not. Last week, the company that’s holding the blogging convention that I’m supposed to go to really riled up a lot of bloggers. As a result of what happened and a lot of other things that have disappointed me in regards to this particular company in the last while I’m just not sure that I’m willing to go now.

Having said that … if I do decide to go I’ll have to figure out which of the many Las Vegas Hotels I’ll want to stay in!

There’s so many! We’ll need one near the convention center or one that’s at least close to transportation to the convention center.

I’ve visited the site realtravel.com as they have listings for Las Vegas Hotels complete with price comparisons, descriptions and even maps of the hotels location. They even list nearby attractions, restaurants and even other hotels close to the one you’re looking at at the time.

Considering that I’ve never been to Las Vegas I think this is a great site as far as getting a general idea of where each of the Las Vegas Hotels are situated compared to the area that you plan to visit. Naturally with it’s price comparison features I’ll be able to find the best deals on hotel rooms as well.

I’m going to keep this site in mind while I try to decide whether or not I’m going to Vegas in November.

A new partnership

by

If you read my other blogs you might have noticed that my blogs As the Garden grows and Tricia’s Musings are part of the Glam Network. I was invited into the network and accepted into their special advertising partner network.

One benefit of the Glam Network, other than my sites being listed on their sites, getting some extra traffic and occasionally having posts featured is that my contact there occasionally writes to members of the network with special offers. Sometimes it’s advanced news about movies or new products, big events that sometimes include celebrities or even other advertising opportunities.

A couple of months ago my contact wrote to me to tell me about a company that was looking for advertising partners. I responded and within the next few days I’ll enter into a special advertising partnership with this company.

Naturally this partnership is yet another way for me to earn a little bit of money. Hopefully it works better than some of the other things I’ve tried. I think it will since it’s a special partnership.

I don’t want to say which company it is just yet. You’ll know when it happens though. This company has some great items for the home, garden as well as clothing and fashion accessories. I do hope that you like the products as I’ll occasionally discuss items that interest me on this site and some of my other blogs.

Wish me luck?

Storms, power outages and computers! Oh My!

by

It looks like we’re going to have a good storm here!

Yesterday when I got up I was surprised to find that it was already 32 Celsius outside and the humidity was making it feel like it was 40 celcius! That’s darn hot! I have a desktop weather network widget on my computer and all day it was flashing warnings that we were expecting a severe storm. That always seems to happen when it gets to be outrageously hot outside.

Well of course it never rained during the day!

Now it’s four a.m. and I can see lightening all round and I hear thunder off in the distance. So I guess we’re getting our storm. We certainly need the rain.

I hate storms though. for some reason the power goes out about half the time whenever the power goes out. I always worry about my nice TV set, it’s a Samsung DLP HDTV and I’d hate for a power surge to cause a problem. Yes we do have a power surge protector but still I worry.

You see, back when we had that big blackout in 2003 that affected something like 50 million people across Ontario and the North Eastern United States we must have had a power surge. It either happened when the power went out or when the power came back on.

All but my desktop computer were ok. You see the power surge did something to the computers power supply and the computer just wouldn’t work. We had to look up power supply repair companies. In the end we just bought a new power supply, but we did have a bit of trouble finding the right power supply for our computer. What a pain!

So you can see why I worry about whatever electrical equiptment I’m using when a storm crops up can’t you?

Sometimes I think it would be nice to move to a warm climate

by

Living in a cool climate I suppose it’s not all that surprising that many of my fellow Canadians tend to either winter in or retire to warm climates such as Florida. I’m not old enough to retire, but I know in the cold dark days of winter I sometimes think about how nice it would be to live in an area that doesn’t have snow and ice.

If you’re thinking about moving to Florida you might want to visit the Broward county real estate website. The site has listings for several areas of Broward county. Houses and condos are available in a variety of price ranges to suit any budget.

If I were thinking of moving to Florida I think the Broward County area might be a nice place to settle. After all, there’s plenty of great places and things to do in Broward. One could visit Greater Fort Lauderdale, the Blue Wave Beaches, Hollywood Beach, several great golf courses, Butterfly World, Thoroughbred racing at Gulfstream Park and many other lovely areas and parks to visit. It sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

Visit the Broward County Real Estate website to learn more about their offerings.
