No CommentsAccommodation for Visitors in Leicester
Leicester has the usual range of places for the visitor to stay from hostels to 5 star hotels. However, Leicester is not renowned as a tourist centre and so the accommodation provision is mainly from the major chains that can be found anywhere. An advantage of that is, of course, that a Holiday Inn is the same in Leicester, London or Leeds.
Starting at the bottom end of the market is the ‘Walkabout Leicester’ off the Markingford Road. It has Twin rooms, Double rooms and rooms big enough for six or eight people to share. Prices start at £10 per night if you’re sharing a room with seven others. Another hostel is the Leicestershire Backpackers Hostel on Windlip Lane. Read the rest of this entry »
No CommentsIn an Instant- Book Excerpt: Lee
Orlando, Florida, January 28, 2006
There is a ride at Disney World called the Tower of Terror, and on the weekend of January 28, 2006, my four children, even the twin five- year-olds, begged me to go on that ride over and over again.

No CommentsMission Point Resort Hotel
Wedding receptions on Mackinac Island (sometimes referred to as Mackinaw Island) should be flawless. Most brides have their engagement at one of the many banquet halls in Mackinac Island because of the casual atmosphere and gorgeous surroundings. The last thing you should worry about would be the service that the hotel would give your wedding vendors and guests attending the celebration. Since my recent wedding reception at Mission Point Resort Hotel in Mackinac Island Michigan, I was very disappointed with the service and unnecessary stress I received.
