Cheap Flights For All My Friends & Fiends!

It is that time of the year when people start to think of getting away from the winter that they are suffering, and it hasn't even begun yet! I was talking to two friends recently one was in Kauai Hawaii, where God is rumored to go on vacation, and the other was in Southern California in LA and they were saying they needed a break, so I can only imagine what the rest of the world is going through.

For most frequent flyer programs the consensus of many people is that they are a real pain in the butt to use, and unless you have a lot of time to play with them, that it is a lot of work and no reward, so they don't take advantage of them. United Airlines has a program called saver awards, where if you pay $75 you can use the awards easier, and if you don't have enough miles you can buy more to get you to where you want to go, be it California, Hawaii or out here to Phnom Penh, by flying into either Saigon, Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong and then catching a really cheap Jet Star flight or Air Asia flight into Cambodia. For the real budget minded Asia travelers fly in to Saigon or Bangkok and then take the bus for less than $20, Easy!

You can also get 21,000 miles from United by getting there United Visa from Citibank. To do it Google United Miles, and click the "apply here" logo on the right hand side. If you already have a Citi card you can still apply for the United Visa Card, and you can also apply if you are a small business man, you might be able to get 2 Visa cards and 42,000 which is over half of a long haul flight. And if you buy flights on United with their card, you get double miles, yea! Another way to get miles is to ask your friends and neighbors if you can borrow some miles.

If you refer some one to Citi bank and they get the United Visa you get 2000 miles, Please feel free to put my name in as the referrer, and we can consider it my Christmas present; See you soon!

Hogmanay In The Highlands - New Year In Scotland

Are you tired of spending New Year packed into an expensive bar, waiting to get served, not being able to hear yourself think, let alone chat to your friends? Well maybe it's time to take matters into your own hands, gather your friends together and head to the highlands for your Hogmanay celebrations this New Year's eve!
Renting a cottage for a few days over New Year is an increasingly popular way of saying farewell to another 12 months, and is especially popular with those who have reached their late twenties and feel that they're done with the hedonistic New Year's Celebrations of their youth.
And it's not difficult to see why hiring a cottage with a group of friends or family is so popular; rather than blowing all your money on one big night out, you'll get to enjoy a long weekend of celebrations that can include other outdoor activities such as walking, fishing or cycling in the nearby countryside. It's also a good opportunity to see a different part of the country that you might be unlikely to visit otherwise.
The Scottish Highlands and islands are especially popular with New Year revellers looking for holiday rental cottages. There are hundreds of properties across the lochs and glens to choose from, depending on how remote you want your new year to be.
The west coast of Scotland offers many secluded, rustic cottages and farmsteads, with crackling log fires and views of beautiful lochs. If you're looking to get a New Year's round of golf in, Fife is the place to go; head for a fisherman's cottage overlooking a harbour for a traditional Scottish experience.
Winter sports fans may even be able to get a couple of days skiing in, although the unpredictable nature of the Scottish weather means that you probably shouldn't set your heart on shooting down the slopes of Glencoe or Cairngorm, but you never know, you could get lucky! For those coming from south of the boarder who don't want to travel too far north, the Scottish Borders are an ideal place to get a taste of Scotland without having to drive for so long.
Whatever part of Scotland you choose for your Hogmanay celebration, you should be able to find a rental cottage to suit your needs. From large houses that will sleep up to 20 people, to cosy couple's cottages ideal for a romantic New Year, forget cramming into a crowded nightclub - this year, why not spend Hogmanay in the Highlands?

Mallorca Diving

So what's great about Mallorca Diving?

From what I experienced, the sea life is pretty much typical of the Mediterranean - plenty of small fish etc, with a few conger eels and Barracuda about. The sea was slightly warmer than diving in the Canaries meaning that shortie wet suits were sufficient.

The sea was reasonable clear at the time of my dives, so visibility was good and one of my dives was from a boat (quite far out) over a reef. We dropped down to 30m, but it went much deeper. Shame I'd forgotten my torch!

A good destination to dive. From what I experienced not enough to go there on a diving holiday, but combined with a family holiday it seemed great.
