They offer a special from March 19th to April 30th 2008 – flying from London to Toronto for only £293.
Canada offers a large variety of tourist attractions, from cosmopolitan cities such as Montreal and Toronto in the Southern parts, to the isolated Eskimo settlements around the icy shores of Hudson Bay.
There are thousands of lakes and rivers of the interior provide superb watersports and fishing, as well as the Atlantic & Pacific oceans. The mountain ranges, such as the Rocky Mountains, offer breathtaking scenery. Some of the best resorts are in the series of great National Parks which preserve the wildlife and forests of Canada. The Northern parts offer the beautiful wilderness, also in National Parks.
Personally I would love to go skiing in Canada. Though I’m not very adventurous, and I might end up falling my arse off, I still do want to try it one day.

Apparently house prices in Manchester is great for first time buyers at the moment! I guess that’s specifically for buyers who are earning pounds though
Still, with Commercial Mortgage you might just be able to buy a house in England if you’re up to it! I would love to. I lived there for about a year, and I loved the country so much. Most people in sunny South Africa don’t understand how I can put up with the constant raining and grey days, but there is something so special about that atmosphere.
I spent the summer shopping till 9pm, and walking in the park – feeding the swans. It was such an idyllic life, that sometimes when I think back it feels like a dream. If I could, I would immigrate to England, and bring up my children there. Its just so much safer than South Africa. I suppose there always are downsides, and one of these would be that my family live in South Africa – well, most of them.
Some of our family are in the States, and other live in Europe, so I guess it would enable me to visit them regularly.

Whether you’re going away on a business trip, or looking for a ideal holiday destination, you might just find what you’re looking for on Dial-A-Flight’s website. You can get a flight to Australia, Madagascar, Thailand, wherever you want – even exotic locations such as Mauritius for a bargain price!I visited Mauritius a couple of years back, and it was an incredible experience. I would love to go there again, but then again, there are so many other amazing places which I haven’t seen yet. If someone had to tell me I could go anywhere in the world, I wouldn’t know where to pick.
One day, instead of retiring, I want to spend time travelling the world… Still, where would I start – I dont have the vaguest clue – probably some tropical island!

GetMe Calling cards have reasonable rates, which will enable you to have that long dreamt of conversation to your friends abroad! They sell calling cards from a large number of vendors, which enable you to phone to any of 153 countries around the world, for LESS than most service providers!

You might be asking “What chick in her right mind can write a post about rodeo?”, but here I am! I never thought I would be able to tolerate the sport – never mind enjoy it! That was before I started reading a book, which revolved around a couple of which the man was a rodeo champ. I loved that book so much, and you might recall my post about it!
This book got me honestly interested in this bizarre sport for which people risk their lives, and I’ve started watching this on TV. Its simply amazing how, after their few seconds of sheer adrenaline, they graciously slide off the bull, and then stand next to the rampaging beast as if its something completely normal.
For those of you who are passionate about rodeo, you can find National Rodeo Finals tickets online for quite a reasonable price. I would love to go see a real live rodeo show, but even if I get the tickets for a bargain, I’d still have to pay for my plane tickets, accomodation etc. Which makes it really ridiculously expensive. But. If I have the change, while touring the US, I would definitely want to see it with my own two eyes.

When traveling abroad, I usually look for Cheap Hotels – just because I cannot see why I should pay for an expensive hotel, while I spend all my time traveling in any case. Now I’m not talking about a hotel which cockroaches are crawling out from underneath your bed, but I’m not talking about a hotel with gold plated taps either!
If you’re looking to book a hotel online, before you start your travels, have a look at the sites which offer online hotel booking, you can find hotels on there that have a good reputation, but you might also need to get a home loan to afford staying in one! Maybe its different if you’re earning dollars or pounds, but here’s what I found:
When checking the availability of a hotel, you will see that the price is also provided. For interest sake, I checked a hotel in my area, a suite for two people, bed and breakfast included, was $1482.99 – for ONE night. What?!?! That is just sooo ridiculous!!
Now, I know what the prices are like in South Africa, but for ‘innocent’ tourists, this might seem like the norm – after all, there are quite a couple of hotels which are priced like this – specially to rip off tourists.
If you ever want to travel to South Africa, you’re more than welcome to ask me what a reasonable price would be to pay for a hotel.
