I am not a typical foodie but it seems lately that everywhere you look, there are new establishments selling fresh baked cupcakes, and not just the kind that you buy at a typical bakery. Cupcakes are now being used as the dessert of choice at parties, showers, as wedding favors and even as alternatives to a wedding cake and centerpieces. Whats more, cupcakes keep getting bigger and bigger, to where eating your own cupcake...
JetBlue announced today that it would allow anyone to fly unlimited from Sept 8, 2009 to Oct 8, 2009 for a flat fee of $599. This All You Can Jet deal, while appealing and fresh, might be a flash in the pan. An average JetBlue ticket from Los Angeles (Long Beach) to Las Vegas each way is $59.

For a small island Lanzarote is big on visitor attractions. Boasting one of the most popular national parks in Spain. Along with lots of picturesque whitewashed villages, a host of natural wonders and the breathtaking man made attractions of a local artist called Cesar Manrique. The island measures just 38km by 58km – making it easy to circumnavigate and tour. Whilst both petrol and car hire in Lanzarote are very affordable – with the...
Rome is a fabulous city and is the epitome of the historic beauty of Europe. It was the capital of the massive Roman empire and has enjoyed an almost mythical status for many centuries. Today’s Rome, although much different than it was at the pinnacle of the Roman empire, still preserves its rich Roman heritage (fortunately for us). So while in Rome, consider staying in the historic part of Rome to completely immerse yourself...
Rome is one of the most memorable cities you will ever visit. Even though most consider Paris to be the most romantic city in the world, I would argue that perhaps that distinction should belong to Rome. If you are planning to visit Rome, I recommend finding accomodation in a very specific area. First, most of what Rome has to offer to tourists, lies within a 3 mile radius so if you are farther...
1,500 kilometers off the coast of Africa lives an archipelago of 155 islands known as Seychelles. The least populated African country, there is nothing to be found here but crystal clear blue waters, peace, and tranquility. If “quiet, yet exotic location” is at the top of your wishlist for your dream vacation, time in Seychelles could easily fit the bill. The Seychelles government is very conscience about the land, and all resorts and other...

Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills – the street made famous by the brand names that live on it, not to...
Arizona is America’s 6th largest state after Alaska, Texas, California, Montana and New Mexico. It is noted for its hot desert climate, with exceptionally hot summers, and mild winters, but the high country in the north features pine forests and mountain ranges with cooler weather. While Arizona is mostly known for the Grand Canyon, there are a few more notable places to see there. Montezuma’s Castle – This is a national monument which is...
This post written and submitted by Nick Ball. The Canary Islands have something of a reputation in the UK as a cheap and cheerful holiday destination. But these seven little specks of Spain located off the coast of Africa are not all birds of a feather. As on Lanzarote – the most easterly link in the chain – tourists are able to enjoy an unspoilt island bursting with unique cultural attractions. Lanzarote was first...
The United States of America is a land of great wonders. No where else in the world do you find such an eclectic and wide array of destinations all encompassed within one country. Often, when one considers exotic locations around the world, images of Machu Picchu, Agra, Santorini and Alexandria come to mind. However, the United States is perhaps the one and only country in the world that offers everything for everyone. Disagree? Here...
