The Travel Diva

In this hustle and bustle of city life one inevitably would need a getaway and find an escape to a tranquil holiday for refreshment every once in awhile. The neat thing about this is the more the society progresses, and develops, the greater the need for a holiday.

I have always thought and wondered too, that holidays is not a need but a luxury. I grew up thinking that is a waste of resources. But I as grew older and started working, I realized that holidays is not a luxury, but a need for one’s personal wellbeing. Eversince I started feeling the reality of needing to get rest, I have taken lots of holidays and have traveled to most parts of the world. I have learnt to appreciate taking time off from work and household chores to enjoy the beautiful places on this earth.
The neat thing about going for holidays is it fosters and creates opportunities for greater bonding with my family, and we have always appreciated times like that, especially when we get to spend time with the chidren.

Now, the fun thing about planning a holiday is that you’ve got to do holiday comparison to decide where to go, and things you like to do. We have had to always consider the children when planning a holiday. With the kids around, we usually plan a holiday by the beach so the kids can play with the sand, and the hotel we stay must have a pool so the children can swim, but with just the both of us, anywhere and anything will do as long as we have each other, the holiday will be fun.

I’ve had to do several holiday comparison to decide on holiday destinations,

I just discovered a new way de-stress: water sport tube rides at Asian Water Sports Village!  They’re actually offering unlimited rides of 5 water sports tube which includes Banana Boat, Evo Pro 3, Storm, Graphic Deck, and Turbo Blast.

And so if you’re keen, you may choose:

Banana Boat – Accommodates up to 5 people
Evo Pro 3 – Accommodates up to 3 people
Storm – Accommodates up to 3 people
Graphic Deck Tube 2 – Accommodates up to 2 people
Turbo Blast – Accommodates 2 people

Though equivalent amounts of fun may be found by living in a castle made of bubble wrap and chocolate-coated nuts, jet setters may alternatively hook up with jet skiers for thrills and spills in the aptly named Banana Boat, Evo Pro 3, Storm, Graphic Deck or Turbo Blast. Take a ten-minute spin within inflatable carriages, choosing to brave the storm, waves and manly shrieks of delight with a loved one or up to four potential blackmail victims. Lifejackets and the all-seeing eyes of safety marshals monitor rogue riders in case of sudden midlife impulses to switch to pearl diving careers.

Customers are likely to get wet and may be tossed overboard. Lifejackets are provided.

For RM29 (instead of RM80), you will enjoy 3 hours of unlimited 5 water sports tube.

Asian Water Sports Village is located at The Mines, Sri Kembangan.

Florida has always been a dream vacation for me. When I think of Florida, I can only imagine beautiful beaches. I guess I got that impression from watching Hollywood movies like Oceans Eleven, License to Kill, Speed 2, Bad Boys, and others I can’t even remember anymore. They were really good movies, but the best part of watching movies is you get to see the geography of the country. I think that’s really nice when you get to see the beautiful landscapes and beaches in the country, and not forgetting the different cultures in the different cities and countries.

Little did I realize there were more than beaches to see in Florida. Hubs and I were contemplating on driving down to Florida for florida holidays while we were in Atlanta last year but scrapped the idea but the next time we fly in to the US we will definitely plan a trip to Florida. Florida Holidays is a must for anyone visiting the US. One place I might want to see is the Walt Disney World. I’m sure the kids and the kids in ‘us’ will be all thrilled and excited to amuse ourselves will all the Disney characters.

I would also want to visit the Orlando Universal Studios. I have been to the Universal Studios in LA, but I heard that the one in Florida is fun, and has a lot of the southern touch, especially the warm southern hospitality.

Orlando Sunrise Hot Ballon Ride will be a must on my itinerary. I wouldn’t want to miss this ride, especially a sunrise ride.

Miami City Tour will be fun too. It would be really nice to see the beautiful Miami city. I’ve heard lots about Miami city, and have seen some in CSI Miami.

Ahh, there are just lots to do. I guess I will just have to stay for a month so we can enjoy all these places and of course, the beach.
