Packing Your Wedding Dress for a Destination Wedding and Honeymoon

matthew Hudson — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:24:09 GMT

Hi Every One,
How are you all? My first recommendation is to have your dress shipped professionally. The thought of parting with your dress may send shivers up your spine, but this is your safest and least cumbersome option.

All Wedding Dress shops can provide you with a box large enough to hold your dress, and tissue paper to pack it with to prevent excessive wrinkling. If you are going to ship your dress ahead, this box should then be wrapped in a plastic garbage bag (to guard against moisture) and placed inside a more sturdy shipping box, and enough bubble-wrap (preferred) or foam peanuts to completely surround your dress box.

Visit your local Post Office, UPS Store, FedEx, or other full-service professional shipping shop and discuss your shipping, packaging and insurance choices with the clerks. You will generally find them highly knowledgeable and helpful in determining the best way to get your dress where it needs to go in tip-top shape.

Whichever shipper you choose, it's important that you choose a service that provides full insurance coverage and a tracking number with true dynamic (up-to-the-minute) tracking capabilities. Make sure that your dress arrives at your wedding destination at least a week before you do - that way if anything goes wrong, you have time to do something about it. Don't forget to arrange with your destination's wedding coordinator or concierge to store your dress for you until you arrive.

If shipping is not an option, forego one piece of your carry-on luggage and take your dress package on board with you. In this case, put the dress in a hanging garment bag, then inside the dress box. Don't check it in with your luggage, since one of the most likely places your package will be damaged is in baggage handling.

Most airlines will work with you if you call them in advance and may be able to hang it in a small "closet" during your flight. Be sure to call the airline in advance to inquire about carrying it on board and hanging it instead of using the overhead storage, and ask again when you check in and board. If it turns out that you cannot hang it, then keep it in the box for overhead storage, but be careful placing it in overhead bin. It is best to wait until everyone has stored their items first to ensure that your dress box doesn't get crushed.

If, when you call the airline, you are told you must check your dress package (generally this only happens if you are on a plane that is too small to accommodate a closet or large enough overhead storage), then be prepared to check it - use a hard-sided suitcase to avoid any possibility of damage during baggage handling. Be sure the dress box fits snuggly within the suitcase and stuff any spaces with white, acid-free paper.

Once you arrive at your destination, remove your dress from its package as soon as possible. Hang it in a clean, dry, dust-free, well-ventilated place where you have enough room to spread the skirt out over a white, cotton sheet covered floor. Stuff the sleeves and bodice with white acid-free paper to maintain the dress's shape. If there are any noticeable wrinkles, the hotel's laundry service will be able to steam them out for you, or may have a portable steamer you can borrow.

Some final tips from our experts: Although we've focused on the dress, don't forget the rest of your wedding outfit - undergarments, shoes, accessories, veil, any special makeup you'll be using, etc - pack all of it with your dress so it stays together (with your makeup double-packed in waterproof pouches or Ziploc-style bags).

And remember the old adage "what's good for the goose......", meaning don't forget about your groom's wedding day attire - whatever he's wearing, whether it's owned or rented, if he's bringing it along as opposed to picking it up there, it will need just as much attention to be sure it gets to where he needs it to be.

Lastly, enjoy your special day!

Best Regards.....

Honeymoon Budget Advice

matthew Hudson — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:21:54 GMT

Hi All,
How are you ? When I'm on the road I love to chat with honeymooners, mostly because I'm curious about their honeymoon planning experience. Sometimes they tell me how surprised they were about how much their trip cost - primarily because they forgot to take into account all the things besides the airfare and hotel expense - like food, souvenirs, sightseeing, activities etc. It's crucial to prepare a realistic Honeymoon Budget, so that you'll be better prepared, which will leave you able to relax and enjoy yourselves without financial worries.
In addition to airfare and hotel be sure to include in your Honeymoon Budget:

* Meals & snacks - and don't forget that at some resorts and tourist destinations food can be much more expensive than at home;
* Beverages - alcoholic & non-alcoholic, and plenty of bottled water;
* Pampering/Spa Treatments - it's your Honeymoon, treat yourself to a relaxing beach side massage!
* Beach Chairs/Umbrella - at some (not all) beach destinations you have to "rent" these by the day or half-day (this applies only on the beach, not by the pool, which is generally simply first-come-first-served);
* Tips - baggage porters, bartenders, waiters, beach stewards, tour bus drivers, etc. - count on at least 15% to 20% of your total for meals & drinks, then add at least another 10% to cover non-food or beverage related tipping situations;
* Car Rental or other local transportation (taxis, buses) if you plan to leave your resort much - your travel agent should tell you what transportation - if any - is provided by your destination;
* Sightseeing - many museums, tours, and tourist attractions often charge an entrance fee;
* Sporting activities - you'll almost always have to pay for motorized water sports such as water skiing, para sailing, and jet skiing, as well as for scuba dive trips, and unless you bring your own gear, you may have to pay to rent equipment such as golf clubs, tennis rackets, kayaks, or snorkeling or dive gear (unless you're staying at a good all-inclusive destination, in which case often these items are included in your rate);
* Shopping - you'll likely want to pick up a few gifts & souvenirs - for yourself and family & friends - maybe some charming memento of your honeymoon;
* Extra film or batteries for your camera - although you'll save money by purchasing these items at home and bringing them with you, be prepared in case you run out;

Add up all these daily expenses, and then give yourself an extra 10% per day for anything "unexpected" that might come up - better to go home with extra than need it and pay higher ATM fees to get more while at your destination!

Lastly, be sure to consider an "All-Inclusive" resort or a cruise for your Honeymoon - that way almost all of the costs are already included (with some exceptions, including Spa treatments and souvenir shopping - your travel agent should put in writing exactly what is and is not included). This will make the process of preparing your honeymoon budget easier, will make for fewer surprises later, and ultimately will help you save money on your Honeymoon.

Best Regards.....

Kollengode Palace

dezzin01 — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:51:51 GMT

Palakkad has got many beautiful landscapes. Neliyampathi hills, Parambikulam, Malampuzha dam, Silent valley National park, etc all are worth seeing. These places are not much explored by man. There are many star hotels like Srichakra, Ambaadi, Indraprastha, Soorya residency, etc.. Palakkad is known for Kalpathy ratholsavam which attracts world-wide tourists... Clothes are very cheap here compared to other parts of kerala. Also it is second to Thrissur in Jewelery.

Sight seeing, trekking, Malampuzha has the only ropeway in Kerala, Ayurvedic treatments, The old MANAS in Ottapalam, Heritage Agraharams in Palakkad, Nelliyampathi hill station, Parambikulam reserve forest, mountaneering, Tippu Fort in the middle of Palakkad town, etc.

Palakkad is well connected by Road and rail. It is hardly 110km from Cochin International Airport. Also only 50km from Coimbatore domestic airport. The other destinations within the reach from Palakkad city. 19 kms to the south east of Palakkad is the pristine Kollengode, once the capital of the erstwhile Kollengode Rajas. The town derives its name from the Kollen blacksmith community that resides here. The town is surrounded by the Nelliampathy Hills on one side and a large area of fertile paddy fields on the other. The Gayathri River, a tributary of Bharathpuzha winds its way through the town.

The magnificent Kollengode Palace is a prime example of the traditional architectural style of Kerala and also one of the best place among [b][url=http://www.keralaholidays.com/Destinations/Palakkad.htm]Palakkad sightseeing attractions[/url][/b]. The Archaeological museum is located in the Kollengode Palace and houses a collection of murals from all over Kerala.

On display here is a well-preserved and extraordinary treasure of Veerakallu or hero stones, which are stone engravings, and sculptures of heroes of the bygone era. Also exhibited are temple models, olagrandhangal (manuscripts on dry palm leaves), megaliths etc. It is interesting to note that most of the exhibits here were recovered from the forests of Thrissur and Wayanad.

Other places of interest include a shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Trekkers and adventurous picnickers will love the verdant trekking areas around Seethakundu and Govindamalai near Kachankurichi.

oneymoon Packing Tips & Travel Advice

matthew Hudson — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:58:23 GMT

Hi Every Body,
How are you all? We've rounded up these great Honeymoon Packing Tips and advice from the road warriors - people who travel extensively for work - so you can be sure they're tried and tested!
Honeymoon Packing Tips:

Don't pack anything valuable - don't even take it if you don't really need it - since almost all checked bags are searched these days in the interest of security, and locks will be cut off of bags if they are locked. If you must take something of value, be sure it's in your carry-on bag.

Look through your carry-on bags and what you have on before you leave home - anything that might slow you down going through security checkpoints? Anything that is on your person that will set off a metal detector will slow you down, and anything on you or in your carry-on bag that is on the airlines' list of banned items will really slow you down. Your Honeymoon Consultant can let you know what the most current airline regulations are for banned items.

If you must wear jewelry while flying, consider carrying a small ziploc-style baggie in which to put your jewelry (then slip it into your purse) as you go through security so that you don't set off the metal detectors and don't risk chasing a dropped earring around on the floor.

Many airports require you to remove your shoes to go through security - so make sure your shoes are not only comfortable but that you can get in and out of them easily and quickly (shoes that are easy to slip on and off are best for flying anyway, since feet tend to swell up in-flight).

If you plan on doing any walking (not just for sightseeing, but even getting from gate-to-gate in some airports is quite a hike!) be sure that your shoes have been broken in and are comfortable - few things can make a trip more miserable than blisters on your feet.

Keep yourself hydrated - it's common to get dehydrated while flying, so take a bottle of water with you. Pay attention to the first side-effects of dehydration - headache followed by nausea - and be sure to drink plenty of water, both on your flight and at your destination;

If you're on a flight that will be showing a movie, pack a small, lightweight set of earphones (like you'd use with a CD player) as they will work on almost all planes - no need to "rent" a set.

Sarongs/Pareos are incredibly versatile and can double as long, elegant skirts, be halved for short, cute beach cover-ups or even triple as a shawl for cooler evenings.

Pack several bathing suits not only for variety, but for practicality as well. Other items such as a light jacket, poncho and umbrella will come in handy for surprise rain showers which often occur in tropical climates.

Bring a disposable, waterproof camera for diving, snorkeling, kayaking or any water-related trips or activities.

Pack a good hat that protects your face and neck. For the extra sun-sensitive, there is specially-designed clothing that can block out the sun and keep you cool. Some of this sun-block clothing can be worn in the water while swimming. Lycra rash guard clothing is made from shirts to full body suits which allow swimming with complete sun protection.

Pack versatile shoes: dressy sandals for a special romantic dinner, good walking shoes (with socks that wick away the moisture), and a pair of "water shoes" for kayaking or other water sports (Tevas, reef booties, etc).

While problems or accidents may be rare, don't underestimate how valuable a small first aid kit can be - worth its weight in gold if you need it. Be sure it contains some basics: aspirin, bug repellent, anti-itch cream, and band-aids. If traveling to a remote area, consider all-purpose antibiotics and other medications as well.

Buy a travel-size water mister for your face and body or buy a plastic mister bottle and fill it with ice water before you set out for sightseeing. Use this mister while taking in the sites or lying on the beach. It's amazing how refreshing and cool a mist of water on your face and body feels in that blazing tropical sun and it's very healthy for your skin, too.

Best Regards........

Holidays and courses overseas

alison — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:40:51 GMT

I think doing a quick course overseas would be a wonderful way to spend a holiday. Imagine learning how to speak French in Paris, or how to make sushi in Japan. A friend of mine did a two-week Italian course in Florence last summer, and had a great time. She would go to her classes in the morning and then explore the city for the rest of the day. I am planning to go to Italy soon to unwind and brush up on my language skills. I am wondering whether anyone has ever done a course of any kind overseas, and whether they enjoyed it. ??

Happy Holidays,
Alison

25 Honeymoon Mistakes To Avoid

matthew Hudson — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:18:52 GMT

Hi Every One,
How are you all? i am going to giving you people some kind of advices which will be soothing for you soon........

#1. Not starting your honeymoon planning early

The number one mistake is leaving your honeymoon planning until the last minute. Not only can you save significantly if you book early, but also many popular destinations book up quickly for peak season, so you may not get your first choice, or even your second or third choice, if you procrastinate. It’s never too early to start planning.

#2. Not taking a honeymoon

Okay, life is pretty busy, isn’t it? But will your job/company/family really fall apart if you take some time for yourselves? Just like your wedding, your honeymoon is a special time that you and your beloved will remember forever. Even if all you can take is a day off, take that time and let us make it special for the two of you. The last thing you want is to look back on this time years from now and regret that you didn’t.

#3. Not setting an adequate budget for your honeymoon

Weren’t born (or marrying) into the Rockefeller family? No matter – whether it’s for a night or a week or longer - even if you don’t think you can afford a honeymoon - we can help you save money, get perks and upgrades not available to others, and make it a special time you’ll remember forever.
#4. Not considering a Honeymoon Registry

An increasingly popular trend nowadays is the “honeymoon registry”, which works just like a bridal registry. We can set up your registry, and provide you with complimentary cards to go inside your invitations (or Save The Date cards) to let folks know where and how they can contribute to making your dream honeymoon come true. This is especially popular with couples that already have all the household items they need. We’ll keep an automated list for the bride of how much has been contributed and by whom, and send a receipt and complimentary gift card to each contributor.

Many of our couples have had their honeymoon vacation completely paid for by their registry, and often with a little left-over cash to spend on their honeymoon as well!

#5. Forgetting to book a hotel room for your wedding night

Believe it or not, this one is very common! Many brides are so focused on the big day, and on arriving at their honeymoon destination, that they forget about the wedding night if they aren’t leaving right after the wedding. You’ll want your first night together to be special, so put some thought into where you’ll stay and how you’ll get there after the reception (or let us do that for you).

#6. Allowing out-of-town guests to book their own accommodations

We can negotiate discounted room rates, and arrange air travel and transportation for everyone who may be flying in for your wedding – saving them money and you the headache of trying to coordinate getting everyone where they need to go, especially if they’ll be attending other events, like your rehearsal dinner, bachelor or bachelorette party, etc..

#7. Booking too early a flight for the day after your wedding

If you’re having a late afternoon or evening reception, it’s a good bet that you won’t be feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the next morning when it’s time to go to the airport! Okay, I’ll be honest – I don’t really know what “bushy-tailed” means either, but hey, I know I don’t feel that way in the morning, period. Keep in mind what time you’ll need to be at the airport, and be realistic about what time you’ll be able to get up in the morning.

#8. Over the top partying (this goes for both of you!)

Sure it’s fun to kick off your shoes and let your hair down once you’ve got the “I do” out of the way, but keep in mind that there are few things in life less romantic than spending your wedding night embracing the toilet. OR being hung over on your honeymoon. OR even worse, seeing the pictures Aunt Edna took of you dancing on the table. Do you really want to risk that being posted on the internet? Be sure to eat something so that if you have a drink (or a few) they won’t hit you as hard.

#9. Not getting to the airport early

If you’re flying to your honeymoon destination, be sure that you’ve pre-booked your transportation to the airport, and leave yourselves plenty of time to get to there, get checked in, and get through security. Although the airlines still recommend 60 to 90 minutes early, we’ve seen lines at security checkpoints that you wouldn’t believe! Don’t risk missing your honeymoon – better to sit and read at the gate than to miss your flight. Another tip: slip a zip-loc style plastic baggie in your purse and then put all your jewelry, and anything from your pockets, into it to get through security faster. And lastly, if you’re planning a longer honeymoon and checking several bags, we can arrange to send them a few days early, so there’s less for you to schlep through the airport.

#10. Not realizing that most tours and cruises depart on Saturdays

At least the 7-day cruises that is, and with Saturday being the most popular day to marry… hmmm…..you can see the conflict, can’t you? Most of the 3-day sailings depart on Fridays, most 4-day sailings depart on Mondays, and there are even 10- and 11-day sailings and longer! So if you’ve always dreamed of taking a cruise honeymoon, be sure to book your cruise first, and take the departure date into account when choosing the wedding date and location. And unless you live within driving distance of the port of departure, you’ll have a flight too (normally booked at the time you book your cruise), so keep in mind that you’ll need extra time to get to the port city, allowing for a leisurely (not rushed!) embarkation.

#11. Not telling the hotel (and everyone else) that you’re honeymooning

Don’t be shy – it’s your time to shine, and the whole world loves lovers! We’ll make sure that you’ll get special treatment and an upgrade on rooms and meals.

#12. Not taking your future spouse’s opinions into consideration

Admit it – you’ve been thinking about your wedding day - and likely your honeymoon as well - since you were in kindergarten. However, very few men think of such things, so often brides assume that their fiance doesn’t really care about the details. Planning your dream honeymoon without consulting him will result in a trip you’ll love, but he won’t. If you want your honeymoon to be as memorable for your beloved as it will be for you, it’s crucial to ask him questions, such as where he’d like to go and what he’d like to do. Of course, he still may say, “Whatever you want, dear”.

#13. Not considering “off season” travel

Go where you’ve always wanted, but go when everyone else goes and you’ll not only pay “premium” rates, but you’ll deal with crowds, booked up spas and tours, longer waits at the restaurants, etc. Try going when it’s less crowded for a truly relaxing and romantic experience. Plus, when there are fewer tourists, you’ll get more attentive service!
Just be sure to consult us so that you don't wind up at your honeymoon destination during a hurricane!

#14. Not getting advice from someone who has been to your destination

Planned a tropical island honeymoon in October, then arrived to find that it was monsoon season there? Or went to that Dude Ranch in Arizona after being inspired by the movie “City Slickers” only to discover that July is way too hot and most of the horses were sent north to Colorado weeks ago? That won’t happen to you if you take the time to research your trip with someone who knows the place well. If you don’t know someone personally, chances are good that we will, or may have even been there ourselves - we take pride in knowing our honeymoon destinations intimately!

#15. Being unaware of local customs at your destination

Since you’ll likely spend some of your time outside of your hotel room, and will be interacting with the locals, it’s important to know what dress and behavior is considered appropriate, so that you don’t risk offending anyone, or worse, spending the rest of your life in a seedy foreign prison and possibly causing an international incident in the process.

#16. Forgetting to get (or renew) your passport

Traveling out of the country? Be sure you have a current Passport. It can take 6 to 8 weeks (including mailing time) to get a new or renewed Passport, or 2 to 3 weeks if you pay hefty additional fees for expedited service. For information on fees, passport office locations, and to download application forms and instructions, visit the U.S. Department of States website at http://www.travel.state.gov/passport_services.html.

#17. Being unaware that many European hotel rooms have only single beds

As do some cabins on cruise ships. It just isn’t comfortable trying to squeeze both of you in a bed designed for one, but it certainly isn’t intimate being in separate beds. So unless twin beds are your preference, be sure to request a queen or king bed when you book!

#18. Waiting until the last minute (or day) to pack for your trip

That’s a sure-fire way to forget something important, or wind up packing something in your checked luggage that you’ll need (or want) in-flight. Of course, if you’ve printed our Packing Checklist, then you’ll have nothing to worry about. Unless, of course, you forget to use the checklist. And don't forget to check out our Packing Tips, too.

#19. Packing too much (or too little)

There’s just no excuse for not printing our Packing Checklist from our website. Or, if you’re lucky enough to be one of the organizationally blessed, create one and share it with us! Just be sure to take into account 1) where you’re going, 2) when you’re going there, 3) how long you’ll be there, and 4) the monetary exchange rate multiplied by the inside dimensions of your suitcase (so you’ll know how many souvenirs you can bring back, of course!) Oh yeah….unless you’re planning to start a family right away, don’t forget to pack your birth control.

#20. Underestimating the impact of a sunburn

No matter how tempting the beach or pool is, resist spending hours there the first day, and when you do venture out, be sure to use loads of sunscreen. There’s no quicker way to ruin a honeymoon vacation than screaming “ouch!” every time he touches you. Or vice verca. ‘Nuff said.

#21. Scheduling all of your time around activities

With all the excitement you’ve been through (or will be going through) in the weeks and days leading up to your Big Day, you may not realize just how truly exhausting it can all be, but it will certainly hit you a day or so after the wedding. Be sure to leave yourselves enough “relaxation” time, for at least the first couple of days of your honeymoon vacation, to keep the potential for crankiness at bay. After all, you’ll have many more trips with your new spouse, but only one honeymoon, so relax and enjoy it!

#22. Not planning some time apart

Everyone needs a little private time to truly relax, and we don’t mean just when you’re in the bathroom. Schedule his-and-hers massages at different times, or if you’re not into para sailing and he wants to give it a try, head to the pool with a book, do some souvenir shopping, or take some pamper time for yourself at the hotel’s spa. It will give you more to talk about over dinner too!

#23. Forgetting to bring your sense of humor

No matter how carefully you plan your trip, sometimes things can go wrong. Yes, even at a world-class honeymoon destination. Don’t let anything ruin the overall purpose of your trip – which is to have a fun and romantic time alone with your beloved. Laugh it off and you’ll only remember the good stuff. If nothing else you’ll have some funny stories to tell your grand kids someday!

#24. Not bringing enough Traveler’s Checks or cash (in small denominations)

It’s not just a commercial, it’s true – not everywhere takes American Express, or VISA or MasterCard for that matter (although many places do). But it’s best to have some small-denomination traveler’s checks stashed in your security-style money belt for that little souvenir you just can’t live without. Small-denomination because in many foreign countries they won't want to give you change in US Dollars. And you’ll want to have some cash (again in small bills) on hand to tip those hard working folks who carry your bags, bring you drinks, etc.

#25. Not packing enough film (or extra memory for a digital camera)

Film generally has a pretty long shelf life, so even if you don’t use it all on your trip and wind up bringing some home unused, you’ll eventually use it. It’s better than paying prices at the destination, which are often substantially higher. And if you’re toting one of those nifty digital cameras, take extra memory cards so you won’t have to agonize over which of those terrific shots you’ll have to delete to make room for more! The same goes for extra camera batteries, whichever kind you need.

#26. Not using us to plan your honeymoon

We know how, when, and where to find you the best deals and discounts, and we have the clout to get additional discounts that destinations don’t offer to others. Additionally, we can plan every detail of your honeymoon, including the activities, sightseeing, and pampering that you’ll want to partake of, so you’ll get the most out of your time away from the real world.

Best Regards..........

Air Travel Tips Pack for the plane as well as the honeymoon

matthew Hudson — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:01:24 GMT

Hi There,
How are you all? Airline travel can be stressful these days, so here's a few air travel tips to help minimize discomfort and ensure that your honeymoon vacation gets off to a good start;

* Wear something you'll be comfortable in - a velour warm-up with a pretty t-shirt or tank top is perfect for both looks and comfort. You'll definitely want a light jacket or sweater, as planes often get cold when in the air;
* Most people find that their feet swell during flight, so wear comfortable walking shoes that can be slipped off and on easily - save those pretty high-heels for dinner out at your honeymoon destination;
* Since you'll be limited in what you can carry on with you (1 bag plus one personal item such as a purse or laptop bag), take a tote bag instead of your purse (you won't want to carry your purse around at your honeymoon destination anyway - a fanny-pack is a better alternative) and then in your tote bag you'll have plenty of room for your wallet, a book or magazines, a bottle of water, etc. Also, this way you'll have a tote bag for the beach, too.
* Do be sure to bring some bottled water - the air inside of a plane is very dry and you'll get easily dehydrated. It also helps to take along a few sugar-free hard candies or some non-medicated throat lozenges (like Riccola);
* For longer flights, your skin will dehydrate as well, so another item I never leave at home is a wonderful product from Burt's Bees™, their "Carrot Seed Oil Complexion Mist", - don't be fooled by the name, it's not at all 'oily' but is a very light, refreshing, and pleasant-smelling rehydrating mist - I love it and recommend it all the time to others;
* Also for longer flights, you may want to throw into your tote an inflatable neck pillow and eye shade, to help you catch some shut-eye and arrive feeling rested. A nice set can be found at Magellans.com, or try a local mall;
* Don't forget to take along a set of earphones (for each of you) like the type you use with a CD player. Almost all flights offer in-flight music to listen to, and longer flights generally always have a movie to watch - you'll need the earphones unless you want to "rent" some onboard the plane. Also, some planes have separate left/right channel jacks (Delta in particular), so it's good to have an adapter on hand like this one from Radio Shack - cheap and tiny, so I keep a couple in my bag;

Remember that the goal of these air travel tips is to help you to arrive at your honeymoon destination relaxed and ready to enjoy what will surely be one of the most special times in your life!

Best Regards..........

London Calling - for the rich?

Corelliz — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:30:07 GMT

I read the article entitled 'London Calling' which listed all the fabulous hotels and restaurants in the Big Smoke. That was interesting in itself, but to be honest as a 'normal' person with a 'normal' wage, these are places that I would never go into because the prices are astronomical. Having lived in London for a few years, I found a wonderful range of affordable and stylish (dare I say it, trendy) restaurants that deserve a mention. Particularly around the streets of Soho. It would be great to see some of these reviewed.

Thanksgiving Ideas.

matthew Hudson — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 18:06:59 GMT

Thanksgiving is just coming. Do you have any special ideas & suggestions about any new menu which must include in Thanksgiving. Like, any new meal, food, dessert etc.

4th of july cooking ideas

matthew Hudson — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:20:00 GMT

Celebrate the United States' Declaration of Independence with all the fireworks, stars and stripes that go with it for your 4th of July party this year! All you need is an assortment of traditional patriotic foods such as apple pie, hamburgers and ice cream, and a firework-worthy location to create the most magical commemoration of American freedom you and your family have ever experienced. And with the American flag in-hand and a little patriotism, you'll have yourself singing the Star-Spangled Banner by nightfall.
