When my sister told me that she was going to go away for a couple of days and that she needed me to watch her house I was a little surprised. The reason that I was surprised is because my sister never goes away so the fact that she was planning a trip caught me off guard. As it turns out, her husband made plans for the two of them to stay at a bed and breakfast because their five year anniversary is coming up. This made sense to me as my sister would never have planned such a trip and because I wanted to make sure she would have no excuses to stay home I agreed to watch her house for her while she was away.

A Great Gift
January 17th, 2010 — Travel
I decided that I wanted to take my wife to South Africa for our anniversary this year because she said she has always wanted to go there. But I didn’t want to have to be stuck in a hotel somewhere the entire time so I decided to use car hire south africa which will allow us to go anywhere we wanted, whenever we wanted. The trip was so much fun and we saw so many different places and were able to just enjoy each others company! It is going to be hard getting her a gift next year though because I have no idea how I am going to get her something she likes just as much!
Moving to the Henderson area
January 13th, 2010 — Travel
Our family just moved to the Henderson area and are really excited. We purchased a new home in the lovely area. However, due to the two week delay in closing on our new home, we had to stay at a Henderson extended stay hotel. We were quite surprised at how nice the experience was. The entire staff were very polite and professional at this Henderson extended stay hotel. They pampered each one of us and we appreciated the comfortable rooms. The Henderson extended stay hotel offered free breakfast each morning and the dining room was so charming. We never had to stay for such a long time in one hotel before, but it was a pleasant experience.

In broad outline, the cathedral is a building whose importance is obvious. It is in this basilica where English becomes Gothic architecture of the French model from the early English style. Facades designed as towers, galleries rigorous verticality subject to columns, arches and casts austere cathedral acquired its specificity with this artist. Many Trains to Canterbury is also available. The work resulted from a collaboration-confrontation between the French architect Guillaume Guillon Sens and English. The first direct the work until 1178, and the latter’s end in 1184. Finally, in 1504, John Was tells put an end to its long history of building up inside the tower fan open a vault.
Brighton Voters for 2010

Brighton Short Breaks considers Brighton and Hove showing its as the most Right On city in the United Kingdomthis week with the fact that it is the first a parliamentary election has gathered an all-female listing of candidates .
20 years after Mrs Thatcher broke governmental territory by becoming the first ever woman Prime Minister the complaint that the vestibules of Westminster are still a macho dominated territory ring just as loudly as ever! So, Brighton and Hove’s total female short list of Parliamentary candidates offers some boost to a future future shift of base in the gender balance in the political power world.
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 peculiar assertion left me somewhat hot and bothered about the state of our governmental arena and interested as to the causes for male domination above and beyond the old antecedency that gentlemen should have it all their own way – and its a whole Pandoras box of discussion that is safest left for some other time .
But my intention here today is as – as always – to fly the flag for Brighton and Hove and certify how ahead reasoning and politically sensible our home city is, and having a ratio of men to women in parliament more representative of the population, is in my thought, a pace in the right direction!

Shoestring budget
December 17th, 2009 — Travel
I had typed cheap taupo accommodation into the online search and as soon as the results showed up I felt pretty silly as I had just had a mind block and forgotten to look for hostels. That is what I was after as I am trying to do my trip on a pretty tight budget. I’m driving from Warkworth down to Wellington and thought I would spend a night at the lake on the way, but again I don’t have a lot of money to spend, as it is, most of it is going toward the gas bill. Staying at hostels is always fun anyways as you get to hang out and hear stories from some travelers.
