Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

I'm not sure how you are planning on spending your Halloween. I'll be preluding mine in a related activity, that being a visit to a graveyard. In other words, I'll be attending a funeral. Now, it's not all doom and gloom, as this funeral is for a person who had lived a good long life. She probably lived longer than most people would care to live, once the losses are ...

I know these blogs are getting to be way too wordy these days, not to mention way off track. It's like reading a dating profile, where the candidate types in reams of text, and half way through it you're saying, " I can't read anymore of this babble. This person is much too chatty for my taste!"

I've vowed to shorten them up, and besides that I'm actively involved in the ...

As I wait patiently for word on my truckster and all its repair glory, I thought I'd write something relevant for Copenhagen. You know, when my truck broke down yesterday I'd actually just came from a job interview? A few days before, the potential employer called me and told me not to wear perfume. They have a strict "no perfume" policy because some people might ...

Yesterday was a scorcher here across the pond. Gettin' my runnin' around done early was the plan, so I could live the afternoon, like a beach. First thing in the morning, I had a hankering for a tea and a bagel so I warmed up the old truckster and took a trip into the local town.

I thought because it was hot, all of the tourists would have been hanging outside ...

Visit historical Greece without leaving Copenhagen. See the Venus de Milo, better known as the Greek Goddess of love and beauty; Michelangelo's David - biblical King David; Centaurs - half human, half horse statue, and the Roman emperors, also known as the rulers of Rome. The collection contains casts of some of the most important sculptures in the world, and range in ages from 2500 B.C. until 1600 A.C.

My dad had always hoped that when I finally grew up, I'd work in the medical field. Already in kindergarten my parents probably suspected this wouldn't be my lot in life. The first guess came as my teacher carried me yelling and screaming to the school nurse for a vaccination shot. Even today, I can't ...

I love the Christmas season at the moment, perhaps because I'm receiving little gifts in the mail. I just received a CD with international music on it for my listening pleasure. I won't go into much detail about it because I haven't listened to it yet. I often receive requests to write about this, that or the other thing. I ignore most of them unless they tweak my interest because ...

One of my favourite actors, Danish/American Viggo Mortensen of "Lord of the Rings," fame is in town. Remember him? Of course you do because he played the reluctant hero Aragorn in the world famous trilogy.

Anyhow, he's in Denmark for his birthday and it's a big one but they're all big ones after the age of 25. The good news ...

Well, I've finally returned to Denmark after my extended stay in Ontario. It was a wonderful vacation full of tosses and turns, highs and lows and new discoveries. The last weekend I was there was really wacky tobaccy. A $100,000 dollar jewel heist took place, a fatal stabbing and a car accident all happened in one weekend. Bizarre, as it usually is very tranquil and quiet in Prince Edward County. ...

It's funny how a sometimes uneventful day on vacation can turn into something rather exciting. I started out the day as per usual by waking up, checking my mail and then hey ya, I watched the Tyra Banks Show. I've not seen her program aired before in Denmark so it was something new and exciting. Then I took my already blistered feet for a forty five minute walk to my ...
