My Personal Journey called LIFE

I  went to Europe again in January 2013, for 5 days.  I went to Germany and Austria.  It was my second time to travel to Austria, but to a different city, this time I visited Salzburg.  In Germany I visited a few places.  My trip was my birthday gift to myself.  I went with a friend.   Travel cost was fair enough.  Though I paid for the air ticket more that what I have budgeted.  When I first checked for the air fare, it was around Aed 1900 only, after a week it has gone up to Aed2300.  Lesson learned: if you are sure and has finalized your holiday schedule, go book your tickets right away when you find the best air ticket price.  Hotel cost was around Aed 700 for a room for 2.  Food and other travel expenses I had prepared Aed2500, I also brought biscuits and canned foods, just in case. First thing before you go, check the weather of your destinations, so you know the type of clothes you need to pack. ...

I know there will come a time I will forget bits of pieces of my experiences, but my travel to Prague is one to remember for life, that is I am sure. When I plan my travel, it is part of my preparation to read blogs, forums and sites about the place I will be visiting.  Not for anything but to know the place I will be going.  Below is just a couple from the list of sites I visited to gain knowledge and information about Prague: www.prague.fm/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague The plane ride from Rome to Prague was 2 hours.  I arrived in Prague as scheduled.  Contrary to what I read from different blogs and forums regarding domestic flights in Europe, I had a good and smooth check-in procedure and flight, no delays.  I took the taxi from the airport to  Hotel Lunik .  The hotel where I stayed was just a 3-star hotel, but I could definitely say my accommodation was more than what I paid for.  Cle...

Second Stop: ZURICH, SWITZERLAND via Train:  Gare de lEst Train Station - Zurich HBF (5hours) TGV Lyria (19:09-7:27) For euro train ticket booking  CLICK HERE! It was a good decision to take train from Paris to Zurich.  As what most travelers say, the best way to explore Europe is by Train.  The green scenery along the way is very relaxing.  Scenery along the way from Paris to Zurich Train from Paris to Zurich With the cool Paris weather, who would like to get up at 5AM?  I had to drag myself up and get ready as early as 5:00AM just to have enough time and to make sure I would not miss my 6:45AM train schedule.  I didn’t want to leave Paris yet, as I feel like there’s more to see and try but I am also excited to see Zurich.  Does it make sense?  What I am trying to say is, I’m excited to discover what’s in Zurich and at the same time I had a hopeful feeling that someday I will ...

Today a friend PMed me and enquired regarding my 2008 Greece Trip.  He was asking for a few tips how to organize and process, from Visa to arranging best rate hotel and airticket bookings.  Actually he's not the first one who has come and asked, there were few already had asked me.  I realized I should create this blog for them.  So there… But before I begin sharing my travel experience, let me first point out a few things.  First, I am no travel expert, whatever recommendations and tips that will be shared here are purely based on my personal experiences.  I may share a few do’s and don’ts, it is your prerogative to agree and disagree, but let me just say it again that whatever I write here and whatever I judge to be right and true is based on my personal experiences.  If you have other opinions and POVs (point of view) you are free to comment and share, but no bashing, please? Thanks.     OK.  First make sure to plan y...
