European Escapade...

-
A European vacation…that’s probably one of the ultimate dream one can have. Since this is an ultimate dream vacation, visiting only one place would not be right. One must see all those places that a lot of people talk about whenever they go on European escapades.. If given the chance, I would love to visit all of Europe but that’s probably too much to ask for all at once so I came up with a few cities that I can visit on my FIRST European Escapade.

First on my list would be France…where Paris is, of course. Why Paris, France? Because of this.

I’m fascinated with the Eiffel Tower so much so that if this European vacation ever happens, I would make it a point to search Paris Hotels which are really near the tower to make sure I get to see it anytime I want to while I am there. I’ve only seen it in pictures so I really want to see this much talked about tower and satisfy my curiousity by seeing this breathtaking tower as much as I possible...in person.

The next place in my list would be London. Couple of reasons for this. First, I have friends there and I would love to get in touch with them while I’m traveling Europe. One thing I try to avoid though whenever I’m visiting a place is being a burden to friends so I would make it a point to find London Hotels which are accessible to my friends and to some of the most popular tourist spots in London like this one...

Yes, the Big Ben. Just like the Eiffel Tower, this one is something I have to see in person.

Germany would probably be next on my list. A friend actually influenced me on this one. She told me about the Christmas Markets there when she visited Germany a few years ago. She visited her sister who was studying there so they both went to Berlin to experience it together. She told me that a lot of tourists actually come there just to see these Christmas markets so her advice to me is to make sure to look into Berlin Hotels early because they are booked quite fast. She told me that because of the Christmas Markets like this one...
... she may just go back there this in the future.

And last but not the least in my places to visit in Europe on my first vacation there is Spain. Coming from a country that is very much influenced by the Spaniards, this had always intrigued me. One of its biggest influences, if not the biggest, to my country of birth is Roman Catholicism. So if I get the chance to visit this country, I would like to see the churches in Barcelona like the Sagrada Familia Church.
I have a former co-teacher in Barcelona and he told me that the churches there are really breathtaking but it's not all there is in that city. So he said that I should stay a week or so in that city just to explore it. Good thing I know where to find listings of Barcelona Hotels which are affordable....cheaperthanhotels.com.

So even if I want to stay a little longer in all these cities, I know that it will fit my budget because cheaperthanhotels.com can provide me different choices when it comes to finding a place to stay in while I'm touring. Who knows I may just have enough money left to go see another city aside from these 4 I mentioned....hmmm, maybe I can go to Vienna?

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

Simple Life....

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
