In need of a vacation
I remember saying the other day that working is fun. Mostly because earning your own money is a different kind of high. But after a few months of working, everything can get pretty stressful. Especially in my case: I am juggling two very demanding jobs and I'm actually working 14 hours a day - more on days when I have to check papers, compute grades, and take home unfinished module pages. It is at this point in time when I tell myself, "Gahd, I need a vacation."
My dream vacation destination has always been Europe. Occasionally, I'll find myself looking at tourist places in France, Britain, or Ireland. Then sometimes I'll fancy myself staying at hotels in Spain and experiencing the Tappas bars or the seemingly heartless but nevertheless must-see bull fights. A stay at hotels in Barcelona is also a nice option. In this place where Picasso was born, I can immerse myself in the rich history of the place. I can go see the La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's wonderful architectural works, and so much more.
Europe offers more than the popular places I've mentioned, though. Daydreaming that i can already afford to take a leave from work and go backpacking in my dream destination, I stumbled upon CheaperthanHotels.co.uk (which is a good site if you're 'shopping' for affordable places to stay in when going to Europe). The discovery opened my eyes to other destinations I can list in my "must go to before I die". The site, which lists cheap hotels in Malaga, said that I can visit that pretty place in Spain and take a peek at the Picasso museum and Caves of Neria. The site also points me to hotels in Palma, a place where one can find the Caves of Drach and one of the largest underground lake, Lago Martel.
I was uber glad I found this site. I'm actually keeping tabs on it for when I can actually stop dreaming about going to Europe and actually be able to go there. Perhaps with the help of CheaperthanHotels.co.uk, my dream vacation may actually happen sooner than I thought. For those who can now afford my dream vacation, go check out the site. It might save you buckets and perhaps you can afford to treat one deserving young lady to a trip to Europe. *winks*
