Oludeniz is said to be the best place for paragliding. It’s home to a paradise-like lagoon and beach on the Mediterranean and the nearby mountains are the perfect place for those looking for extreme sensations. Placed in between Kusadasi and Antalyia, it is less popular among travel agencies, but hard core tourists know is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The location of choice, Fethiye, is a few miles away from Oludeniz.

There are three possibilities when it comes to travel planning: (1) do it all yourself, (2) have an agency arrange lodging and transportation and worry about what to do yourself and (3) leave it all to the agency and just show up and follow their lead. Each of these approaches comes with ups and downs and it also depends on the traveler’s personality, available or inexistent planning time and other such circumstances.

All my friends know I’m a Booking.com fan! I preach about it quite a lot. And although I put my love affair to test every chance I get by comparing destinations and prices, Booking.com is always my number one. I’ve booked hotels in Istanbul, Trier, Oludeniz, and the Golden Sands through them and they never [...]

It was a heart warming welcome, as the young woman at the [...]

I’ve spent three great days at Omni Shoreham in May, while attending an IT&C summit organized by a virtualization company. As the conference kept us for quite a while close to the hotel, I got well acquainted with what it had to offer. I thought I’d share my views with all of you traveling to Washington for business or pleasure and for those looking for a place to throw a party.

As some of you might know, I’ve been enjoying an amazing vacation in Oludeniz for the past three weeks. You might also remember my big list of things to do when going there. Well, I kind of did less than half, some that weren’t planned and did a lot of laying in the sun by [...]

There was once a book with a purpose. Its purpose was to travel the world and entertain people while flying, while taking the train, the ferry or while lying in the sun, in their bed. It has been passed from the lovely Suha of Smores in Arabia to yours truly.
It has already traveled a little, [...]

There was once a book with a purpose. Its purpose was to travel the world and entertain people while flying, while taking the train, the ferry or while lying in the sun, in their bed. It has been passed from the lovely Suha of Smores in Arabia to yours truly.
It has already traveled a little, Asia and Europe if I’m not mistaken. But it’s time with me has come to an end. And the traveling book needs to resume its journey. It’s quite upset with me anyway, because Kayla, my dog, was so taken with the book that she stole it and chewed on it a bit 
But I’m not leaving anywhere soon. So if you are, just let me know, I’ll send it to you. Just comment and tell me where you’re going. I’ll send it to you and you can then give it to someone else. There’s always not enough room while traveling, and circulating such a book is far better than everyone buying new ones. Less paper used
Before you give the book to someone else, don’t forget to add your name or nickname to he list!

As some of you might know, I’ve been enjoying an amazing vacation in Oludeniz for the past three weeks. You might also remember my big list of things to do when going there. Well, I kind of did less than half, some that weren’t planned and did a lot of laying in the sun by the pool, reading a book. So here’s what I’ve learned and would like to share with you in no particular order:
Lesson 1 - Never underestimate the level of tiredness a stressful year has caused
Lesson 2 - Some of the things you waited and waited for: they will be a lot better than you’ve imagined.
Lesson 3 - Sea + Mountains = really amazing roads but extremely tiring diriving
Lesson 4 - What you think is enough time, never is. And time also has this bad habit of just flying by.
Lesson 5 - Relaxing and enjoying yourself is as rewarding as doing a lot of cool stuff
Lesson 6 - If you also want photos from the road there and back, make sure the family/couple/group shutterbug is not the only driver. I was 
Lesson 7 - The Efes beer is amazing!
Lesson 8 - Belly dancing is not that hard
Lesson 9 - Bring more books next time! Running out of books to read sucks a lot more than carrying too many and going back without reading them. I packed four and finished them in a week and a half and bought three more
Lesson 10 - Pet food stores might also sell used books ??? Yup, I haven’t gotten over this…
Lesson 11 - If you go through the trouble of getting road maps ready, don’t forget them on the living room table!
That’s it for now! Next, I’ll share my cruise experience, my paraglading experience, a review of the amazing hotel I stayed at and some other cool stories I know you’ll love! Stay tuned!
