If not, contact a flower delivery shop about a week before Valentine's Day, ask them to send flowers to the hotel where you stay on Valentine's Day.

  2. Prepare your "war equipments", I mean your night activities tools, if you're a woman, bring or buy the most attractive lingerie and prepare for your first night at the hotel.

  3. Prepare some surprise gifts such as rings, necklaces, etc. wrap them nicely and ask the hotel whether they can arrange to put the gift on the room before you come or not. If not, ask for shipping packages to deliver your gift on Valentine's Day to the hotel where you stay.

Great Restaurants in Patong

The wonderful thing about spending your vacation in Patong is that there are so many outstanding restaurants you can choose from. There are so many different types of food served from all corners of the world.

It can at times be difficult to know where you should dine which is why I have compiled a list of some of my favorite eateries in town. If you are looking for a good meal then please be sure to visit some of the places listed below.

Baan Yin Dee

This is actually a hotel located on one of the hills overlooking the Andaman Sea however it also has a great restaurant serving some of the best food on the island. Be sure to try their excellent seafood dishes.

Franco Roma

There are various different Italian dining establishments in this popular Phuket resort area however one of my favorite is most certainly Franco Roma as they serve authentic Italian dishes and some remarkable pizzas.

Sam's Steak & Grill

Sam's Steak & Grill is definitely the leading steakhouse and it is in fact part of the Holiday Inn Resort. They only serve the finest Australian and US beef so if you are looking for an outstanding steak then this is the place to visit during your holiday.

Baan Rim Pa

Baan Rim Pa has won numerous awards over the years and is the most celebrated restaurant on the island. It is especially well known for its excellent Royal Thai cuisine. Please note however that it is also one of the most expensive eateries but it is definitely worth every penny.

Top Five Things to Do in Richmond

When you live in a downtown Richmond condo, you'll find a wealth of things to keep you busy in your downtime. After a long workday, you can relax in any of the city's nearby parks, take in live music at a favorite club, or enjoy a lively sports events. Richmond is rich in historical and cultural flavors, and whether you live in this state capital or are visiting, you are certain never to be bored.

What are the best things to see and do in Richmond? It's difficult to come up with a definitive list, but here are - in no particular order - what we think are the Top 10 attractions and suggestions for a fun day or night in Richmond, Virginia.

Stop and smell the roses! And daisies, and petunias, and...well, you get the idea. The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is a popular destination for local lovers of flora. Tour the manicured Victorian gardens and see Virginia in bloom. Summertime brings live music to the garden, so pack a blanket, relax, and enjoy the tunes.

Hunt for ghosts! Haunts of Richmond is the city's only walking ghost tour. When the sun goes down, go for a guided stroll through the Shockoe area and learn about the darker side of Richmond. Who knows who you'll meet - living or otherwise - along the way.

Indulge your sweet tooth! Ask any local where to find a creamy, delicious milkshake and more than likely you'll be pointed to the legendary Dairy Bar. This Richmond institution has been serving up the sweet stuff for over fifty years, along with sandwiches and other great lunches.

Cheer on the Spiders! These Spiders don't spin webs, they are the might athletes of the University of Richmond. Whether your sport is baseball, football, soccer, or men's or women's basketball, the Spiders are always ready to play. Get tickets for a home game or match and enjoy.

Savor the taste of fresh fruit! The Carytown district of Richmond hosts an annual Watermelon Festival in early August. Stroll along the "Mile of Style" - as Carytown is known for its stylish boutiques and cafes - and sample delicious, fruity treats made with locally-grown watermelon. Just watch where you spit the seeds.

Car Parking in Dublin City

Parking in Dublin can be a bit of a nightmare, but with this guide you'll know where exactly to park your car so that it's safe and secure and above all, legally parked.

Dublin city is small and compact so at rush hour it tends to get congested. It's easy to walk around from attraction to attraction so be sure to park-up the car as soon as you arrive, as there really is no need to drive around this city centre to sight see.

Tow-away and clamping are in operation for those who park in a loading bay, pedestrian area, on double yellow lines, on a disabled parking space, on a bus lane or cycle track, so car parks are really the best option.

Dublin city has over 20 car parks, which are very well placed whether here for shopping or sightseeing.

Here are some of the main car parks in the city centre.

· Abbey Street car park

The Abbey Street car park is located on Lower Abbey Street, just off O'Connell Street (Dublin's main street) in the city centre. This is a very central location for visiting attractions like Trinity College, Temple Bar, the GPO and also for shopping on O'Connell Street and Henry Street.

This car park is ideal if you want to park-up and stroll around one of the oldest parts of Dublin and explore attractions like Dublin Castle, Christchurch Cathedral, the City Hall, St. Audoen's Gate and it's also not that far from Temple Bar.

· Temple Bar car park

Also known as the Fleet Street car park this car park can be found right in the heart of the city centre, just off Westmoreland Street. It's convenient to Temple Bar, Grafton Street, Trinity College and O'Connell Street so it's a popular place to park.

Things to Do in London, England

I have been all over the world and one of my favorite travel destinations is without a doubt London. The English capital city attracts visitors from around the world and one of the main reasons for this is because there are so many wonderful tourist attractions which travelers can enjoy.

I have listed in this article some of my favorite places to visit and things to do in London.

Tower of London

This is where the Crown Jewels can be seen on display. It was also at one point in time used as a jail and place of execution. This place should be on every tourists list of venues to visit in the British capital.

Big Ben

Big Ben is certainly one of the most famous clocks in the world and it is in fact part of the Houses of Parliament. Unfortunately only UK residents can climb the tower to Big Ben.

Hyde Park

If you are looking for a quiet place to spend a part of the day then be sure to visit Hyde Park. There is plenty of greenery to enjoy and you could also visit Speaker's corner where you can hear people give speeches about a wide range of rather interesting and unique topics. There is also a lake where you can rent a small boat and even go swimming in the summer.

Westminster Abbey

The Westminster Abbey is one of the most important religious buildings of the country and has been home of royal coronations for nearly one thousand years. A lot of famous English people have also been buried at the Westminster Abbey.

Madame Tussaud's

Madame Tussaud's is one of the most famous and popular tourists attractions of London and it is home to wax figured of famous people including politicians, movie stars and musicians. It was originally founded in 1835 and several other Madame Tussaud's have since opened around the world including one in Amsterdam for example. Opening hours are Monday through Friday from 09:30 until 17:30 and during the weekend from 09:00 until 8:00.

Cheap Disney World Vacation Packages - How to Find the Best Deals and Save Money

If you're in search of cheap Disney World vacation packages, you will undoubtedly come across many offers online. Just as long as you book the trip at a trustworthy travel site, you will be able to save money on your dream vacation. There are many sites online that claim to offer great deals on Disney travel, but many of them are just rip-offs. As such, you need to do research to make sure you are getting a legitimate offer.

Sometimes, the best place to find an affordable Disney vacation is through Disney! Visit the official site and check out the money savings opportunities. Look over the various passes and decide which one(s) will be the best for you. Do you want a seasonal pass? A single day pass? A hopping pass? Some tickets don't even have expiration dates, so if you want to make more than one single trip, you should definitely check them out.

Another thing to consider is transportation. Should you fly straight to Orlando and take advantage of airport shuttle to your hotel? Or will it be cheaper to fly to the nearby Sanford airport and stay at an inexpensive hotel outside of Orlando? While resort hotels can be rather expensive, there are still some cheap lodging options in hotels and inns right outside of Disney World. You might be better off staying outside of the resort.

If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Some cheap Disney World vacation packages require you to attend a timeshare meeting. While you will indeed save a lot of money on this type of trip, much of your vacation will be spent in a timeshare meeting or on a tour! If you come across an ad that says you have to be at a certain age and have a certain household income, there's a chance it's probably a timeshare promotion.

Visit sites like Expedia, Travelocity, and Kayak to see what kind of packages they are advertising. There is a search function in which you can put dates of travel and departure city. You will then receive quotes on numerous packages that are available within those dates. The packages include airfare and various hotel rooms. Experiment with dates and compare quotes to find the right package.

There are some travel newsletters and e-zines you can sign up for to receive updates on cheap Disney World vacation packages. Sometimes notifications are sent out to the mailing list before the information is even displayed on a website! You should sign up for at least two or three travel bargain newsletters so that you can receive alerts whenever a new package is available.




You'll be surprised at the number of cheap Disney World vacation packages available. New bargains are popping up every day, so if you plan on going to Disney World in the future, you need to check out some offers! There are many cheap Disney World vacation packages available that will suit any budget, so don't think that you won't be able to afford anything---you can and you will!

Top 5 Beach Experiences in Thailand

Australia is reputed to have one of the strongest beach cultures in the world, but many Australians still choose to travel to Thailand to experience their beaches. Although there have been some suggestions that Thai beaches are not as safe as Australia's, and many tourists suggesting that ordinary travel insurance will not be sufficient, this is largely an exaggeration.

Of course, the main difference is that Thai beaches do not offer the same rolling surf that can be expected in Australia. Instead, you can look forward to peaceful tree-lined tropical beaches, with pure white sand and friendly locals that will make your stay a magical one.

As with all tourist destinations, choosing the top five beaches in Thailand is a near impossible task, but we will try to narrow it down so you can plan your holiday with at least a little more certainty. And you won't have to worry about your travel insurance being in adequate!


  • Phuket. This is possibly the most famous Thai beach destination for Australians attracting tens of thousands every year. Despite its popularity however it is not the most peaceful destination but it is certainly the most developed. Some tourists appreciate the choice of accommodation and the nightlife but if this is not your scene you can give it a miss. Nevertheless it needs to be included in the top five list because of its reputation and popularity.

  • Songkhla. This is a virtually unknown beach destination located in the deep south. It consists of a beautiful beach punctuated by rocky outcrops and tropical jungle. And lack of tourists is the main attraction in this area but there is limited accommodation. As far as other attractions are concerned you can visit nearby temples and still enjoy the wonderful food distributed by the many street vendors. If you're looking for peace, serenity and quiet then this is the destination for you.

  • Lamai Beach. Located just south of Chaweng, this sparsely populated area is attractive to those in the know. It is not quite as remote as Songkhla, and has a much wider choice of accommodation and nightlife. The beach is beautiful and relaxing making Lamai a great choice for those wanting a beach without the crowds, but still with a semi-tourists feel to make your stay a comfortable one.

  • Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi Ley.This beautiful beach is often described as the most picturesque in Thailand. Surrounded by limestone cliffs and nestled in a small bay, the beach is the perfect place to completely unwind in natural surroundings. Although it is a little remote, you won't have to worry about your holiday insurance being inadequate!

  • Ko Chang. A long-time popular destination for backpackers, many other tourists have now joined in the throng of tourists who visit the west side of the island. With beautiful white sand and gentle sloping hills, all set against a backdrop of coconut palms, this is a quiet haven for tourists who are not afraid to get off the beaten track.

So, from the many hundreds of choices, we have narrowed your search down to five Thai beaches any tourist will enjoy.
