Just when I thought that it could not get any better, it did. One of my favorite places to stay in Australia is in Mooloolaba off the Sunshine Coast. It really does have everything that I need from a gym, to any type of dining experience that you like or need, family facilities, game room, you name it and it has something for everyone if not everything. So when I was looking up our next getaway and saw that there were mooloolaba resort specials being offered I quickly booked under one of these great packages and am really looking forward to saving a few dollars.

When my husband wanted to take me somewhere new for dinner the other night, he suggested Peruvian. I had never had it before and I’m more of the meat and potatoes kinda person so I was a little iffy. My husband’s the one that loves trying new things. Upon getting to the restaurant I looked at a menu and everything sounded pretty good. I ended up getting Lomo Saltado which basically seemed like a stir fry. That’s why I went with it. I’m used to stir fries, love em, so it seemed like a safe bet. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The meat was so tender, the potatoes were some of the best I’ve ever had, and just the sauce was unlike any I’ve ever had. My hubby laughed when I suggested we go back the next weekend to try out more of the dishes. I was hooked after that one dish!

I had a meeting with the rotorua accommodation association the other day about how we can encourage growth in the region. Obviously with the local airport becoming an international destination, there will be a big increase in tourist numbers, but we need to figure out our marketing strategy to make them want to fly there. I am actually based in a nearby town and we also rely on getting more people flying into the area. Hopefully if we all work together on it we can come up with a plan that allows both towns to benefit. I have full confidence that we will come up with a great idea.

The advantage of a bed and breakfast business is that you don’t have to rent a commercial space for it on a yearly basis. You can of course use your own home. Your home will always be there and so is the chance to make money from it. You can actually open your doors to customers on a seasonal basis.

If you live near the ocean, you can open a bed and breakfast during the summer months only. If you live near a popular ski resort, you can open during winter only. There is also no commitment to accept visitors every single year.  You can start a bed and breakfast this way and see if you’re up to making it a full time business.

Brighton Short Breaks sings praise for Brighton and Hove presenting its as the most Right On in the this week with the fact that it is the first occurance a parliamentary election has experienced an all-female listing of campaigners.

20 years after Mrs Thatcher broke governmental territory  by being elected  the first ever Prime Minister the charge that the lobbies of Westminster are still a masculine ruled area  ring just as obstreperously as ever! So, Brighton and Hove’s complete female  short list of Parliamentary nominees generates some boost to a future future exchange of soil in the sexuality proportionality in the political power arena .

Being cited in The Argus , Fawcett Society chief executive Ceri Goddard said: “If all the candidates are women that is cause for celebration but also concern that it has taken until 2009, whereas all-male elections are still the norm.

“The voters if Brighton can be pleased that whom ever they elect they will be a step closer to closing the gender gap in parliament where currently less than 20% of our MP’s are women – less than Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda.”

‘Less than Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda……… ‘ – personally that particular assertion left me somewhat disconcerted about the state of our political domain and speculative as to the causes for male supremacy above and beyond the past antecedency that men should have it all their own way – and its a whole Pandoras box of debate that is safest left for a different time .

But my purport here now is as – as always – to fly the flag for Brighton and Hove and exhibit how fore thinking and politically conscious our  is, and having  a ratio of men to women in parliament  more true of the population, is in my view, a whole step in the true direction!

A few days ago, I was excited to learn that a friend of mine was planning a trip to India. She planned to visit three different cities, tour the Taj Mahal, and stay in a posh hotel. However, when she arrived at the airport she was dismayed to find that her flight had been canceled. The next available flight wasn’t until three days later, which would mean her husband would miss his business conference. Since that was the main reason they were going, they decided to cancel their trip altogether. I can’t help but wonder if things would have been different if she had purchased travel insurance. The company would have helped them find another flight, or at least reimbursed them for their ticket expenses.

Many people think if you have been to one restaurant that you have been to them all. I know this to be true, because it is exactly the way I felt. My husband loves seafood and he would get so mad at me for saying, “seafood is seafood no matter where you get it”. So, I would insist that we go to the same restaurant every time we went out. Finally, my husband told me that he was going to seafood restaurants Rehoboth Beach because he has been wanting to go there for months. I went just to prove to him that I was right. Well, I got the shock of my life when I tasted their food. That is the best seafood that I have ever eaten.
