Finding Travel Goodies on the Net

Are you preparing for your next holiday? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to do some of that preparation from home? Not having to go out to the shops after being tired from work? Popping in and out of all the travel accessory shops to make sure you are getting the best deal can be very time consuming and exhausting, to say the least.

There is a solution. And it is ShopWiki.com. They offer shopping comparisons. What that means is they aggregate products and prices from many competing online merchants so you can easily find the best prices available in a jiff.

For example if you search for luggage, you will get 997 results with the store that has the lowest price featured. It makes it so easy!

But it doesn’t stop there. They also have some very informative articles, such as Travel Organization.  And a whole page of related articles one would find useful just before a trip.

In short, if you are searching out the best deals on the net, ShopWiki.com should be your first stop.

Happy Traveling!

Considering My Next Vacation…

Considering my next vacation

Costa Rica Perhaps a Costa Rica Vacation? With beautiful coastlines and clear waters, it looks like a very romantic paradise.

Cabon San Lucas Perhaps a Cabo San Lucas Vacation? Another tropical hotspot. Very catered to tourists and lots of fun spots. I love a good night club. Which they don’t have here in ol’Algerie.

Have you been to either? Is the airfare cheap enough? Let me know what you think. thnx.

Trip Planning and Travel Blogging - RealTravel.com

RealTravel.com Thumb

There’s a really well thought out website, RealTravel.com, where they offer users travel blogging and trip planner software.

I’ve signed up as harmonylastic. I will enter a blog entry about my trip to the beach and try to give some advice about staying there.

If you are a world traveler, it’s a nice place to share your experiences. And if you are just beginning, it’s also a great place to get friendly and free advice on where you are going. As there is also a well moderated forum to ask questions.

If you’ve travelled to Algeria, I urge you to sign up and submit some blog entries about this country. There is a lot of misinformation out there about travelling to Algeria. It’d be great to see more people blogging about thier experiences here.

And as always, as any good travel website would have it, RealTravel.com offers search functionality for finding the best deals on the web.

If you use the site, please report back your experiences with it.

Traveling to Paris?

Harmony in Paris Paris Paris Mosque Paris Apartments Paris Eiffel Tower

I had the great pleasure of vacationing in Paris for the New Year. It was so beautiful! No surprise there. I stayed with my husband’s cousin, who, of course, is Algerian. She was wonderful. Really, the best hostest ever! While staying with her, I discovered a whole Algerian community. Which totally blew me away. I didn’t realize there was such a large Algerian population in Paris. It was like AlgeriaLand. I had the pleasure of visiting some of her in-laws there. And they totally imported the Algerian style into thier homes and dress. Ahhh… but my visit made me miss all the wonderful amenities of a truley modern society. Such wonderful food, wonderful transportation system, find anything you like or need. So simple yet so far from Algerian life. Anyway, the photos above are from my trip. It truley was an amazing experience. Very old beautiful buildings everywhere. And I found the people very helpful.

So if you are looking to travel to Paris anytime soon, you can check on accomadations at this site. If you click on thier Paris Tourist Attractions, each attraction lists the accomodations closest to it. BIG TIP: If you plan your vacation just right, you’ll have a chance to take advantage of Paris’ free museum admission day, which is the first Sunday of each month. Have fun! And let me know about your excursion in lovely Paris! Chow!
