Las Vegas Platinum Suites – Review Part 1
April 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
If you haven’t ever been to Vegas or stayed in Las Vegas platinum suites or have not been there in two years then this review will be useful to you. The city is continually changing and growing. On my first trip to Vegas we did not lease an auto. We took a shuttle for eight greenbacks from the airfield to our Las Vegas platinum suites hotel and walked or took the bus / taxis for the remainder of the trip. Ever since that point we have got leased an automobile. If you go midweek or offseason it is really inexpensive to hire an automobile in Vegas. We never paid more than twenty-five bucks a day. If you add up the price of taxis and shuttles, it appears much smarter to get an automobile. You will definitely save more money this way, and you can use that extra money to gamble!
Beware if you’re a shy driver, people drive like maniacs there! If you wish to get the exercise than the shuttle might be the best shot for you. There are buses each ten min going up and down the strip, and there are a few free mono rail trams going between lots of the casinos on the strip. My advice is to hire an auto and bring a wad of singles with and valet it. If you are like me you will need to go and see all the Las Vegas platinum suites. There’s nothing better than driving to the front doorway and having it parked. I often tip a buck or 2. Or you can park in the parking structures for free. If you can afford to I might highly suggest staying in a Las Vegas platinum suite. It is going to be the nicest hotel you can stay at.
The lavatories are Giant , with a Jacuzzi tub, double sink, separate shower, and toilet in a fresh room with a telephone, marble floors. The Las Vegas platinum suites we stay at are the nicest hostels in Vegas. They are costly. I have been to several hostels in Vegas and it all relies on what you need out of your holiday. The general public will bet and drink into the wee hours of the morning so that the hotel will not matter much. If you’d like to stay at the least expensive hotel and stay close to betting I like to recommend staying downtown. The Vegas Club was pretty nice and the rooms were very big and it had a couch.
I have stayed at other hotels downtown and the majority are in that price range and much more on weekends and peak season. So if you would like to be pampered and stay somewhere nice find a hotel on the strip. Las Vegas platinum suites are extremely nice, and extremely costly. Vegas can be what you need; a fun filled holiday if you have got a lot of cash or if you are on a tiny budget. It all relies on your preferences and how much cash you have. Either way plan in advance and visit often and Las Vegas will be one of the finest holiday spots that will grow on you everytime you visit.

Perugia, In Umbria – Italy’s Green Heart: Your Must-Know Guide To
April 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Perugia was first settled by the Umbri around 550 B.C. This pre-Etruscan people spoke Umbrian, a relative of Latin. It was later conquered by the Etruscans and became Perusia one of the 12 city states of Etruria, land of the Etruscans. Relics from this cultural period remain in the Etruscan Well and the Estruscan wall. It was conquered by Rome in 310 BC.
In the middle ages Perugians refused to pay Pope Paul III a tax on salt and to this day Perugians bake crisp saltless butterless bread.
The University of Perugia dates its history to 1276 (the date on the University banner) when the town council voted to establish a “Studium” and it was formally recognized as a University by the Pope in 1308. Boasting 31,000 students the University offers courses in Perugia and throughout the Region in Assisi, Citt? di Castello, Foligno, Orvieto, Spoleto, and Terni.
Perugia is proud to claim a second university: The University of Foreigners where students come from all over the world to study Italian and other subjects. For a very reasonable fee you can study there for a month or longer. The University has programs for even rank beginners with no knowledge of the language.
Perugia hosts the Umbrian Wine Festival each year in mid-march.
There are many beautiful and interesting places to see and things to do in the region that surrounds Perugia.
Assisi is, of course, close by, and it would be a shame to come this far without visiting the home of St. Francis. In addition to the Basilica of St. Francis you’ll want to see the castle on the hill, the Church of San Rufino and the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Angels.
In the latter you will find a “church within a church”, the Porziuncola, the tiny edifice where Christ appeared to St. Francis and promised that all sinners who crossed its threshold would be forgiven their transgressions.
For lovers of fine ceramics, Deruta, just 12 miles (20 kilometers) south, is a center for Majolica pottery and thus, a destination for pottery pilgrims from around the globe.
In Orvieto you can: visit the world-famous Gothic cathedral; pay your respects to the Etruscan dead at an ancient necropolis (graveyard)-Orvieto boasts two; and discover what ancient Etruscans looked like (thanks to a well preserved fresco). Take time to visit the Fortress of Albornoz and to see the underground city.
In Terni you can sit in a well-preserved Roman amphitheater and nearby you can gaze in awe on the majesty of Marmore Falls–Italy’s answer to Niagara. Lake Trasimeno is beautiful–at least from a distance.
On its northern shores Hannibal defeated Roman legions through a clever stratagem.
Some Italians consider Umbrian cuisine to be the best Italy has to offer.
Truffles are mushrooms with a mild garlic like flavor that grow in the ground near tree roots. Umbrian truffles are famous throughout Europe.
Black and white Umbrian truffles are used to flavor local specialty cheeses made from goat’s milk. Walnuts, black pepper, red pepper, and local Umbrian wine are also used to flavor the “Formaggio pecorino” (sheep’s milk cheese).
The local cuisine also benefits from fresh fish from nearby Lake Trasimeno where fishermen daily land eel, perch, trout and carp.

A Perfect Villa Rental in Akumal
April 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Enjoy the vacation of a lifetime in our private home that’s right on the beach in South Akumal, Mexico. Our villa is truly a “house in paradise”. The dazzling sunlight, blue ocean, sea breezes and abundant tropical foliage is breath taking. Walk through the bamboo and hibiscus filled front yard into a genuine Mexican home!
Villa Paraiso, a luxury Mexican villa located right on the Akumal coast only 62 miles south of Cancun, is the ideal location to spend your vacation with family and friends. Villa Paraiso is a dream vacation rental, located inside a private gated community.
The villa is surrounded by jungle foliage and white sandy beaches, with the emerald crystal waters of the Caribbean. The villa offers spectacular sea panoramas and natural light streaming in from many locations.
Villa Paraiso is the perfect place to relax after a full day of shopping, diving, and touring. These are all popular tourist activities in the Mayan Riviera, though a day of rest and relaxation on the beachfront might be preferable!
There is a new Robert Trent Jones 27 hole championship golf course, under construction directly across the highway from the villa. This world class golf course is open to the public, so bring your best game! There is also a 9 hole Par 3 course and a practice course if you don’t have time for a full game. Twelve miles north is Puertos Aventuras, where another 9 hole golf course awaits you.
Archaeological buffs will enjoy a trip to see the Mayan ruins of Tulum only 6 miles south of the villa. Tulum offers insight into the lives and buildings of the more prosperous Mayan civilization members. In contrast to the intricate carvings and superb architecture, the massive surrounding walls enabled the city’s resistance to influence from outsiders over the centuries.
The home is equipped with central air conditioning, which is unusual for Akumal. A backyard pool and Jacuzzi allow you to relax with all the comforts of home immediately available.
Upstairs, a wet bar is available to fix a cool drink made with local tropical fruits. Downstairs, the breakfast bar, dining room and fully-stocked kitchen allow for an intimate first meal of the day. You can use the fully equipped gourmet kitchen to fix your meals or have our chef prepare them for you.
In order to stay connected with the outside world, satellite television and unlimited free long distance phone service is available. A stereo, DVR player, CD player and high speed Wi-Fi service also allows you to entertain and work if necessary.
Two electronic safes allow for safekeeping of your valuables while away from the villa, though a private security service goes a long way in preventing unexpected occurrences. A daily maid service ensures you don’t have to work while on vacation.
Linens and towels are provided for all everyone up to a maximum of 8 guests. Ceiling fans are also installed to help circulate the cool air from the central service or just providing a breeze after a day in the hot sun.
Outside, a barbecue grill allows you to cook for all and invite guests to enjoy a quiet evening at “home”! An outdoor shower also enables you to rinse off after a day of lounging in the sun, or simply experience the beautiful surroundings in your daily grooming activities.
Two free in house massages, hammocks and kayaks are all available to guests of Villa Paraiso to create the ultimate dream vacation package!
