Dubrovnik - The Pearl of the Adriatic

Dubrovnik is a city located on the coast at the Southern most tip of Croatia, looking out over the Adriatic Sea towards Italy. The infamous poet, Lord Byron, called it the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, and this walled city with its renaissance architecture and lemon scented arcades really is a site to behold.

It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the whole of the Adriatic, helped by its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In fact, in the middle ages it was the only eastern Adriatic city to rival Venice.

It is a bustling little city, and there is always something going on, whether it be the annual Dubrovnik summer festival which lasts a whole month consisting of live concerts, plays and games taking place in the streets, or one of the many religious events. Also, Dubrovnik and its surrounding islands offer a bountiful selection of activities for the thrill seekers such as coasteering, hiking, snorkelling in the crystal clear waters or water sports such as sailing and sea kayaking.

Approximately 12 miles from the city centre is Dubrovnik’s international airport, where flights arrive daily from, Paris, Vienna, Rome and Madrid, together with budget services from Liverpool, Bratislava, Dublin & London Gatwick to name but a few. However despite the number of visiting tourists the heart of Dubrovnik retains its charm, partly because there are relatively few places of accommodation actually within the old city walls, but these do exist if you search hard enough. These rare opportunities will usually take the form of villa style apartments or refurbished stone houses, some of which will be around 600 years old! There are of course many places to stay just outside of the old town walls, and this is where most tourists will reside.

Wherever you stay, towards the end of the day you can enjoy watching the sun go down behind the terracotta tiled roofs, whilst indulging in the fresh fish and local wines.

Glasgow:A Beautiful City To Explorer

Think of Scotland and you'll probably get an image of the lone piper in traditional Highland dress playing at the top of a mountain. Or you'll picture the quaint cobbled streets of fishing villages, the blasting personality of Edinburgh's Old Town and the gorgeous, dynamic images of the West Coast.

A lot of people don't think about the streets of Glasgow or the incredible city's large part in Scottish heritage, tourism and commerce. Glasgow is a city that's industrious in many ways: built during a period of great industrial growth, the sprawling city was founded on a great promise of bringing wealth to Scottish soil. This is reflected in the city's criss-crossed layout, organised to the last detail to encourage hard work and production.

But factories and warehouses aren't all Glasgow has to offer by a long shot. Step into the streets of this charming and beautiful city to experience the sight of some of the most magnificent architecture in the country. Marvel at Glasgow's Victorian housing and Charles Rennie Mackintosh art nouveau style buildings.

If intricate and delicate design is your taste, you'll want to visit the University of Glasgow's main building and stroll through the grounds of what can only be described as something that is to be seen to be believed. What's more, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, as well as the Glasgow City Chambers are all illuminating examples of what this city has to offer by way of breathtaking buildings.

But enough about the scenery - there's a reason so many Scots flock to Glasgow at nights and over weekends and that's because the city's shopping and social scenes are rivalled by none. If shopping is your wish then Glasgow holds the answer to your dreams. From bustling Buchanan Street's high street stores to the city centre's incredible wealth of theatres, nightclubs and bars, Glasgow has a nightlife bursting with character. No matter what your tastes, Glasgow will provide. Rock fans can hit the Cathouse or Garage, while the SECC looms at the edge of the city and hosts huge events from the hottest pop acts to large stand up comedy shows.

And as for culture, Glasgow is teeming with a vibrancy that would make other cities jealous. Edinburgh is the country's capital - and for good reason. However, there's no escaping that Edinburgh is shaped for the tourist industry and those seeking a real flavour of Scottish culture will find it in Glasgow. With all the best live music, theatre and comedy from the Scottish arts scene, as well as excellent cafes, bars, restaurants and art exhibitions, it is perhaps no surprise that there has been an increased popularity in flights to Glasgow when considering which big city to visit first in Scotland.

10 Tips for Easy Travel by CheapOair

1. Important Documents Make sure that you carry all important documents on your person, or in your handbag, or carry-on bag, like your passport, driver's license, ID card, Student ID, Visa, any and all important documents. As an additional safety measure, we suggest you make copies of all of your important documents and put them in a separate place in case you lose it; doing this will make it much easier to replace.

2. Carrying Cash Be extra careful while carrying cash. Frequent travelers suggest separating your cash in case your wallet is lost or stolen. Every time you reach into your wallet to pay for something, onlookers could be viewing the contents. Consider folding each bill individually, instead of carrying a big money roll. One of the best things to do is to carry your credit cards in your wallet, even if you lose your wallet, replacing credit cards is much easier than replacing lost or stolen cash, which is impossible. Also, the advantage of carrying credit cards is is that you can avoid currency exchange issues.

3. Bringing Valuables When travelling, all you need to carry are your documents and the bare essentials for your trip. You don't need to carry your valuables and run the risk of losing them. Valuables can make you more susceptible to theft. As the adage goes, "Out of sight, out of mind". You won't miss them, not really, and when you get home, they will be there waiting for you.

4. Check and Double Check Make sure that you have checked with the airlines regarding the departure of your flights. Schedules are subject to change, so call the airlines or log online to find out if your plane is on time or delayed. Though most travel agencies and airlines will have the answer, being proactive means you'll get the quickest and most accurate response.

5. Booking an All Inclusive Package Travelers new to travel might want to consider an all-inclusive package. All-inclusive vacations include most of the things required when making piece meal travel arrangements, such as flights, hotels, meals and airport transportation to and from the hotel. This would ensure that all your travel requirements are all taken care of and all you need to do is relax and unwind on your holiday.

Once you have experience travelling, create your own packages and design you own customized vacations.

6. Check in Ahead of Time With various airlines the process of check-in can be time consuming. To save time, log onto the airline website or OTA, like CheapOair, you booked your flight with, enter in your confirmation number and print your boarding pass. To avoid possible delays, and if you're traveling with a group of people, arriving at the airport early will help minimize stress.

7. Book Flights into Smaller Airports A common myth is that departing from a larger airport is the better option. However, the fact is that smaller airports are easier to move through and, more often than not, offer a better experience. Booked airline tickets into smaller airports can also save you some extra money. Larger airports offer diversified flight options and other conveniences, but that luxury might be paired with additional problems you can avoid. Let's not forget about the savings on flights!

8. Leave Time for Connections Always be smart and plan well, especially if you have connecting flights. The best is to go for a non-stop flight, but in case you need to book connecting flights, we suggest you give yourself ample time in between connections.

9. Call Ahead About your Hotel Reservations Always call the hotel directly, in advance of checking-in, to confirm your hotel booking. Confirm the room you booked and any special requests you've made are in place. Normally a time frame of two days prior to check-in is sensible. You don't want to end up in a situation where you are stranded with all your baggage and no place to stay.

10. Essentials 1. Carry your itinerary and keep a copy with your luggage - This will alert baggage officials to your travel plans in case you lose your luggage. Alternatively, have a copy handy in case you misplace them. 2. Bring a local map – In case you are travelling to a totally unknown place, carry a copy of the map. 3. Local Language: Knowing the basics of the local language in the destination you're visiting. It comes in handy while asking for directions, help and especially in case you need to go to the restroom.

Even though you might spend hours researching and planning a trip and doing your "due diligence", things still might go wrong. Delays, lost luggage, and mishaps all are part and parcel of travel. The best thing you can do is to expect the unexpected. Take a deep breath, laugh about it and promise yourself that you will have fun and relax, and that you won't let anything stop you from having a fabulous vacation.

Newcastle: Fun Capital of the North

The city of Newcastle has moved on significantly from its 1970s image of a run-down city, a desolate industrial landscape with dilapidated docks nestling on the banks of the Tyne, as portrayed in the dark film ‘Get Carter’ and comedic sitcom classic, The Likely Lads. If the images contained in those celluloid portrayals are your only impression of Newcastle then you won’t recognise the modern, bright Newcastle of today.

Major capital investment in the city over the past 20 years has seen the city restored to a magnificence that really deserves a wider audience. Not only has the city benefitted from major dockside and city centre refurbishment, but the addition of a state-of-the art 11,000 seat concert arena has also seen the city play host to the world’s top pop performers, with a forthcoming list that includes Tom Jones, Girls Aloud, Spandau Ballet and Pink, amongst others!

Sport too - particularly in the form of football club Newcastle United based and latterly the Newcastle Falcons rugby union team at – has also benefited from vastly improved facilities at St James Park and Kingston Park. Additionally, the introduction of new service and retail industries to the area has replaced its traditional reliance on declining heavy industries of mining and shipbuilding, and bringing a new era of affluence to the city.

Shopping is a pleasure in and around Newcastle. From the designer boutiques of the historic heart of the city in Grainger Town to the abundance of high street brand names in Northumberland Street or the Metro Centre in nearby Gateshead; whatever you want to buy, you’ll find it here.

The city also boasts its fair share of artistic and cultural venues. The Theatre Royal on Grey Street has been staging productions for almost 175 years. For the last 25 it has featured a Royal Shakespeare Company season and it also host to touring West End musicals. In addition, the Great North Museum, Laing Art Gallery and The Discovery Museum are all popular visitor attractions.

What's more, because of the tremendous rejuvenation of the city you will find plenty of weekend leisure travellers boarding flights to Newcastle from Heathrow and other regional airports every Friday evening. Many of those visitors will invariably spend their first evening in the city at the Bigg Market or the Newcastle Quayside; both noted venues for an outstanding night out and the major reason why the city was awarded The Rough Guide to Britain’s number one tourist UK attraction for nightlife.

Aberdeen: The Granite Fair City

Known as the Granite City, Aberdeen has a long and illustrious history and, because of its situation on the east coast of Scotland, has more recently become closely associated with the North Sea oil and gas industries.

This historic city gained its nickname due to the number of buildings constructed using locally quarried grey granite. Because of the granite effect it is also known as the Silver City, due to the mica and quartz deposits ingrained in the stone that gives off a silver sparkling effect in sunlight. When the skies are overcast and the mica fails to sparkle, it earns its third nickname of the Grey City.

Long before oil was discovered in the North Sea, Aberdeen was an important hub for the fishing and shipbuilding industries. But, during the last 30 years, more modern industries including electronics and oil have taken over leading to a new era of affluence for the city, which is Scotland’s third largest in terms of population. With more than 200,000 residents there is much to do in the city in terms of leisure, culture and entertainment and Aberdeen is fast becoming a tourist hot-spot as more visitors expand their horizons beyond Scotland’s big draws of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Getting there by road from the south involves taking the scenic A90 from Edinburgh (via the M90), which by-passes the city forming the main route to the north and the cities of Peterhead and Fraserburgh; access to the glorious Cairngorms is via the A93 to the west. Once in the city there is lots to do including some glorious shopping, fabulous sightseeing and, if the weather permits, a stroll along the sandy beach.

As you can see, although it is the UK’s second most northerly large city, some 100 miles north of Edinburgh, it is relatively easy to get there. The city boasts prominent rail-links with Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, as well as flights to Aberdeen, which arrive at Dyce International Airport.

Much of the city was built from the 18th century onwards, with glorious Georgian avenues such as Castlegate and Union Street still prominent thoroughfares. The latter is near to the medieval townhouse of the Provost Skene’s House and close by in cobbled streets of Old Aberdeen is found the impressive 15th century St Machar’s Cathedral featuring its tall twin towers.

Whether visiting for culture, history or the marvellous designer stores at the Academy Shopping Centre, you will find Aberdeen a warm, friendly and welcoming city, regardless of the granite!

Absolutely Stunning Night-time OF Puerto Vallarta

Night-time in Puerto Vallarta can be absolutely stunning, especially when the weather cooperates. The shimmering sunlight of daytime gives way to an entirely different kind of energy after sunset. The city seems to dress for the occasion: the breeze caresses you face as you walk along the Malecón; twinkle lights glitter around the zocalo. The evening is calling, so put on some real clothes and step out of your Puerto Vallarta Vacation rental for an after-hours adventure.

Okay, you’re not the type who enjoys clubbing, and you wouldn’t be caught dead with a karaoke mike in your hands. You can stop hyperventilating . . . there are plenty of ways you can use your energy and ambition (or lack thereof) under the light of the moon, the silvery moon, to enjoy some great singing and dancing.

A fine act to follow

Do you like theater? While it might not be at the top of everyone’s list, Puerto Vallarta is home to two theatres that offer delightful entertainment. The students and staff at Centro Universitario de al Costa have a lot going on, and some of it happens in the evening. You can check the school’s website, if your Spanish reading skills are up to speed, or you can look for theater and film events in the local newspapers.

The Santa Barbara Theater, at Olas Altas 351, features productions of English-language musicals during the winter season. For an additional charge, you can make it a dinner theater experience. This is a local theater group, not quite ready for a Broadway opening, which does nothing to diminish the entertainment quotient.

For love of the dance

Another winter favorite (late October through April) is the Old Town artWalk. A number of different galleries in Old Town stay open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., enticing visitors to come in by tempting them with tapas and beverages. This is your chance to enjoy colorful folk art, beautiful pieces in glass and ceramic, and lovely art jewelry while you totally ignore that “No food or beverages” rule.

And there is simply no way you can say “no” to the vivid colors, brilliant music and electric vitality of the Grupo Folklórico Municipal Xiutla. The young people who dance with this group have been around the world performing, and they are frequently found flashing their heels somewhere in Puerto Vallarta. So put on your glad rags and head out the door; you’ll present a dashing picture when you depart your Puerto Vallarta Vacation Rental for a night of arts in the dark.

York -"The Edinburgh of the north" Must Visit Place

For those who have visited and loved Edinburgh, York can be best described as "the Edinburgh of the north". With stunning buildings, a wonderfully winding and twisting old town and a history packed with excitement and adventure, York and Scotland's capital have far more in common than just what meets the eye - though looks make for a convincing argument, too.

York rates highly for short breaks because it's such a delight to visit. If you care about where you choose for your holiday rather than just the idea of going on holiday itself, York could be the place for you. You can spend days exploring its labyrinthine streets and finding something you never noticed before every time. The historic Shambles is packed full of delightful shops specialising on wares from beautiful medieval style weapons to the finest in homemade chocolates.

There are abounding markets stocked with various crafts and cookery, including clothing you'll find nowhere else, breathtaking jewellery and brilliant toys, particularly puppets and ventriloquist style dummies set to get the imagination going.

The thing about York is there's something for everyone. Capitalising on its ancient city persona, there are plenty of attractions around for the history-conscious, from the castle to the majestically Gothic York Minister and York Viking Centre. Every night, there are a choice of ghost walks that take you through the town and tell absorbing stories of York's morbid and haunting past. For true fans of the unexplained, the story of the Roman soldiers walking at hip-height through the basement of an old house will thrill, while tales of a demon dog roaming the streets at night will strike fear into even the canniest of tourists.

Perhaps best of all about York is the locals. Friendly and fun, you'll never be short of people to chat to on your travels. Pubs and bars are a great place to meet people, as well as to sample locally-brewed ale that tops the chart of many connoisseurs. Brewed in a variety of styles with many well-known brand names having worked their way to the top, York and Yorkshire ale is something that will stay in your memory for a long time after your trip to this gorgeous city, contained in ancient walls, is over.

There are plenty of reasons to go to York, which is why it's a good idea to start planning what to include in your itinerary as soon as you can. And if you don’t know where to start then many of the York hotels should be able to offer further information on what to do with your time in York.
