Over the border

The Scottish city of Edinburgh has more historic buildings than any single individual could visit in one trip, maybe that is why so many people love the place so much they do not want to leave. Accommodation in Edinburgh can be hard to find as the place attracts visitors from all over the world and it is a favoured weekend haunt for many Brits as well. Last week Edinburgh was also voted in first place in a survey to decide on the best place to live in the UK. It came out top for quality of life, culture and green credentials.

When the city is extra busy due to a big event like the Edinburgh Festival in August, it can be hard to track down Cheap Hotels in Edinburgh but if you check them out online, well in advance, it may still be possible to find a good hotel that will fit your budget.

Hotels in Edinburgh range from the five star luxury hostelries right through to budget stopovers that appeal to the thousands of students and backpackers who visit the town every year in all seasons. The next big event is the Hogmanay street party, so start looking now if you would like to be there.

Find a room

There are plenty of sites aiming to offer you a good rate when you book hotels around the world but few of these sites specialise in Amsterdam Hotels like the EasytoBook site. This is an attractive sites with some cool photos of this laidback city, and listings of almost every kind of hotel in Amsterdam. Whether you want to stay in traditional canalside Bed and Breakfast or one of the luxury Amsterdam City Hotels, you can find them here.

If you are planning to visit a number of cities in Europe you can get help here. The site has a selection of the top London Hotels. There are so many hotels for visitors to London, it can be hard to know the best place to stay. Having lived here all my life, I would recommend staying close to Covent Garden and Soho, where many of the best and longest established hotels in London are situated. Here you will be close to the British Museum, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament. Everything else is within a short Underground ride, or you can travel around on a famous red London Bus.

Just across the Irish Sea is Dublin, the city that always loves to party. Again the best idea is to stay close to the centre, but book ahead if you want to spend a weekend here or you could be disappointed. Some of the best Dublin hotels will be booked for all the weekends for months ahead, but EasyToBook should be able to help you find a comfortable room at a good price.

Oz for you

Australia is a place that has it all, more or less. Sun, plenty of space, beaches and now a hip new image. South Australia especially is lately the place where the hip individuals want to be.

The place is far more interesting than the picture we we get from imported soaps, as anyone who has visited will know. The people are more open, the population is diverse and this has given rise to a boom in cultural and artistic venues. Adelaide is renowned as the cultural capital of Australia, with dozens of innovative art galleries, housed in some of the most interesting buildings of this beautiful city.

Air fares to Australia have never been more competitive, and a memorable trip can cost a lot less than you might expect. You can get some very good prices on some of the best Adelaide Hotels at the moment, with four star hotels like the Rockford at $AU140 a night. This is a great location to be at the heart of Adelaide's nightlife and cultural activities.

Of course if you travel from the northern hemisphere you will want to see as much of the country as possible, so check out a stay at one of the best Perth Hotels like the Grand Chancellor, located close to Perth's Central Business District and extensive shopping are. Perth has tw
o airports, one for domestic departures and one for international flights: both are just twenty minutes from the hotel.

Most of us could not visit Oz without seeing the iconic Sydney skyline and you will be pleased to find that Sydney Accommodation is just as competitive. The Accor Menzies has plenty of charm with its old world exterior and top notch hotel facilities. The hotel overlooks Wynyard Park, close to the business district and is only a few minutes walk from major attractions like Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Three great cities, plenty of top deals for you: all you need to do is click and book your place,

Staying in Paris

I have visited Paris several times and stayed in different places, some good and some not so good. I feel that you will enjoy your stay more if you choose one of the centrally located Hotels in Paris rather than one that is situated out in the further arrondissements. If you search online you can filter the hotels according to location. When you stay in the center you can stroll along the Seine by night and see the lights reflected in the water, looking across to the futuristic skyline of La Defense and of course take a nightcap at one of the pavement cafes in the Champs Elysee.

Hotels in France are not really expensive by international standards, there is a very good government-run rating system and they are obliged to offer a 'prix fixe' meal in the hotel restaurant. In the countryside this is important as there might not be another restaurant from miles. The fixed price menu usually features local dishes and plenty of fresh produce. I would always check this out, they are popular with all diners and are not just invented for tourists.

Your Paris Hotel is unlikely to have its own restaurant unless you stay in a three star establishment or more. When you eat outside look for cafes that are used by Parisians themselves. There are plenty of these is you move off the main boulevards into the narrow streets running up to Sacre Coeur or around the Pompidiou Museum at Beauborg. Finally, do not miss the Musee d'Orsay, which is located in a former railway terminal.

Worth it?

How would you like to find somebody with similar tastes to you, to act as your personal unpaid trip planner for your next holiday? This is not as unlikely as you might think. Thanks to the power of web 2.0 technology there is a site called realtravel.com, voted one of the twelve essential travel sites by Forbes Magazine. This site is open for free registration to anybody who wants to share their latest travel experiences or comment on a trip planner report that another member has posted.

The site contains thousands of detailed and evocative vacation reports, where you can find out about the best and worst of a country, region or resort seen through the eyes of real people who paid for their trips, unlike many of the professional trip planner stories posted by reporters who visited the place on expenses!

I had a quick look round this site and found a beautifully illustrated report of a trip to Ephesus, a world heritage site in Turkey. This brought back memories for me, and there were some great photos of the restored library that forms the highlight of the visit. This lady (Emily) had also visited Pamukkale, a place I had wanted to visit after seeing so many photos of it. But thanks to Emily, I found out that there really is not a lot to see - my trip planner has therefore saved me the disappointment of planning a visit and finding it is an anticlimax. Highly recommended site.

Real travel

If you want to know what a destination is really like, you speak to someone who has been there. Of you don't know anybody who has visited, then you would have to take the travel company's word for it. But now there is a travel blog called Real Travel, which gives you absolutely everything you need to check out a country, a resort or a trip. We went on a self guided walking holiday a few months ago and the information we found was quite piecemeal. But if a member of the Real Travel community has been there, you can rely on getting a factual and interesting report.

One of the places I would like to go walking sometime in the future is Northern Italy and I searched through this travel blog and found a really nice story about the walks that are located between Trentino and Alto Adige, Italy. The member who visited had written up a summary of her complete week long itinerary , so you got details of every part of the route. You can find out how long to stay in each village or town and the things to do while you are there. The member who wrote the story even detailed when she stayed and what was happening at the time, so you get a true insight into the attractions of the area.

This travel blog has thousands of well-researched account on destinations in all parts of the world, so it is well worth a visit to research an holiday or just to get ideas for your next trip.

Watch your eyes

I only realised when I moved home recently that almost everything you need to furnish the place can now be bought online. One prime example is lighting - it is quite easy to choose the lamps you like when the site has good photographs, and you also need to know the dimensions. For a ceiling light the online shop should tell you how low it hangs from the ceiling downwards. That is especially important if you are looking at ceiling fans, or you could decapitate someone.


When you start browsing through the online catalogue you will also see lights and lamps that you had not even thought of. Most living rooms look better with one or two floor lamps to give a more subtle lighting effect than one central fitting. If you work at home on a computer then you will probably find desk lamps are helpful to avoid eye strain. In the evenings, the light from your screen is not enough and you could strain your eyes without the right lighting.

Another favourite for me is to have plenty of table lamps arranged around the rooms, to give extra light for reading or doing puzzles while sitting on the sofa. When you buy online you can compare prices much more easily and the items are delivered to your door withing seven days.

Andalucia

My partner lived in Spain before it was a democracy and we have visited many areas of this amazing country. One of my favourite rural destinations in Spain is the Alpujarra, the name given to a range of hill villages located between the Costa del Sol and the ancient city of Granada. These villages are on the southern side of the Sierra Nevada with deep, sheltered valleys and gorges running towards the Mediterranean.

My favourite village for a visit to the region is Capileira, situated at the top of the valley, but really this is best for a day trip. To find a good base for your stay in this region think about hotels in Granada, Orgiva or Lanjaron.

The great thing about this destination is that you can choose cheap last minute flights to the main tourist airports like Malaga, hire a car and get a great price on a last minute hotel room in Andalucia.

At the other end of the spectrum is a stay in bustling Barcelona. This is a 24 hour destination and we stayed in an excellent Barcelona city centre hotel close to the Ramblas, where we could walk to most of the bars and clubs easily. We booked the hotel online, pretty much at the last minute, and it cost under 100 Euros a night. You can get organised, of course, if you have time to browse the hotels. There are some excellent hotels in Barcelona including, of course, the famous Claris Hotel - if you check out this booking site you can get a suite at this iconic hotel for 200 Euros instead of the regular price of 500+ Euros - a snip!

Designer site

Here is the site to get hold of hoodies, jeans, shirts, trainers and designer boots for men, women and kids. An admirable example of enterprise, kickstime was formed in 2006 in New York, by brothers Taylor and Donald Kennedy. They clearly have the pulse of young urban fashion as you will see when you visit.

They have a wide stock range of cool stuff to buy and when you order online you get a $10 discount! However they proudly offer a phone service as well so if you need advice on sizing or colours you can talk to a real live person to make your choice. Their live, toll free customer support telephone line is something that no other similar site offers.

All the top brands are included including Prada, Gucci and Nike - OK many sites have these names as well. But how many of those offer free shipping anywhere in the world? That is an offer I have not seen before, especially on a designer clothes website. These guys have all the right ideas, have a look at their latest additions.

Kontera Publishing

There are several ways to get contextual advertising on your website or blog and make a lucrative passive income from them. For example, Kontera ContentLinks is an advertising system that embeds ads into text on your web page. The Kontera ads are contained in the double underlined links you see on many blogs and web pages. Hovering over a link with your mouse will show the ad details. When a reader clicks the ad and visits the advertiser, you make money.

These are not obviously advertisements, they appear to be underlined phrases - and therefore they catch the reader's eye. However, every time a reader clicks through you, the publisher, earn money! If you already use the other major publisher's contextual ads on your site, there is no conflict between the two so you are simply increasing your number of income streams. And because the links are contextual the ads that your reader sees are closely related to the words on your web page so they are going to see ads that interest them. This means they click and hey presto, you get some passive income. So the more web copy you write, the higher your income potential with these contextual advertisments.

Free phones

For cell phones online, Wirefly seems to have one of the most comprehensive online cell phone websites. If you live in the United States and you need to find a reliable one stop shop to look for a new cell phone and possibly a service plan at the same time, then Wirefly could save you a lot of time and money on your purchase. The first thing you will notice when you visit the site is that Wirefly have lots of stock - and I mean loads! They have every make and model you can think of and offer services for all the major networks.

You will not only find complete cell phone collections for sale but also mobile phone accessories, ringtones and call plans to suit all types of circumstances. They recently launched an integrated search function on the website, making it super easy to find deals on the specific phone you want. At the moment you can get a BlackBerry Pearl free of charge with a rebate plan, and you could even qualify for some cashback on top.

Go over to the website and you will be surprised to find how many cell phones Wirefly are actually giving out for free as part of a prepay plan rebate scheme. Some packages come with more than just free phones; you can take advantage of free shipping, cash rebates, free headsets and more. If you go direct to each carrier you will find you are asked to pay serious money for a phone that is offered free at Wirefly with the same call plan. Some people are a bit reluctant to buy phones online but if you do a search on Wirefly you can confirm they are reputable and established. In fact last year, Wirefly was rated as the website offering the best overall customer experience by Keynote Systems. Go over there and start talking.

Couponchief

I enjoy shopping online, much better than trailing round the shops in the cold. I know I am not alone in that!! Online shopping, like any other shopping, is even better if you feel like you are getting a bargain. If you need gifts for Easter you need to get started now - my family are too old and too fat for easter eggs so they get different easter gifts. At couponchief there are online coupons and discounts for all the things I am ever likely to need.

The couponchief site makes it easy to find your way around. Deals are listed by the name of the store, and there are some big names around - ebags and Gap are on the site, for example. Or you can browse the online coupons by category. The gifts section will actually help you get some ideas on what to buy for your loved ones, it is not just limited to flowers and chocolates. A nice designer bag at a discount, for example? Oh, did I mention that my birthday is approaching?

Couponchief adds new deals to its coupons every day so it is worth bookmarking the site and checking back. When I visited Couponchief today I was really surprised at this. Today there were over twenty new offers, and a similar that had been added yesterday. And the featured merchants include big high street names, remember!

Mega new search engine

New search engines have to offer something different to make their mark. Some give you PPC credits for joining, other search sites allow you to promote your own website or blog, and some others allow you to take a top keyword just as a privilege for signing up - subject to availability, of course.

Megaglobe looks pretty cool, using top quality graphics with a sort of google theme - plus this powerful new search engine uses a new patent-pending technology to protect its advertisers from the perils of fraudulent clicks. This site currently offers you the chance to add a web site for free.

You cannot tell at this stage whether a new search engine will become the next major player, but you have nothing to lose by visiting megaglobe and adding your own site URLs in any case. If you turned down this opportunity and the site took off, you would feel pretty silly - wouldn't you? Megaglobe is also a member of the prestigious Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), which includes Google, Yahoo! and MSN in its roster - a site to be taken seriously, I think
