My Travel Diary

by Sally Rowland Rome is the perfect city for a romantic weekend break away. However if you're only going for a weekend, you will need to plan your time carefully to make the most of it! I have put together a guide on a night in Rome to give you some ideas of how you can spend an evening in the glamorous city. The best way to start an evening out in Rome is to eat at one of the many magnificent restaurants. The best restaurant in Rome (as voted for by Zagat) is the Vivendo which is located in the St Regis Grand Hotel. The restaurant is very sophisticated (so the dress code is smart) and it has been decorated in a 40s style with wall hangings and Roman columns. The head chef is Chef Francesco Donatelli whose signature dish is sautéed scallops with asparagus and black olive pate in a seafood sauce. However, this restaurant is not cheap so if you're looking for something a bit less extravagant then there are plenty of authentic pizzerias on the streets of Rome. Next you could visi...

Thailand is referred to as a 'land of smiles', and its capital is its powerhouse. Bangkok beckons people from all walks of life, and wallets of varying sizes. Known to be one of the most travelled to and most desired tourist destinations, Bangkok won't disappoint you. Of the many wonderful things to appreciate about this nation in all her unrestrained glory is their world renowned Thai silk. The origins of silk itself was set to have come from China. Empress Si Ling Chi was seated under a Mulberry tree in her garden when a silkworm cocoon fell in to her tea cup, and while she was removing it, she noticed that fine strands of silk thread that unravelled as she pulled. Silk is known to have been around for over 3,000 years. Traditional Thai silk comes from a silkworm known as Bom...

by Michelle Harris I know this subject is a sore spot for a lot of people (it was for me until now) trying to find a legitimate website to download new movies and, to be honest, any movie was a huge frustration. But I just wanted to share with you the success I have finally found with this website. Disney's A Christmas Carol - Download It Here This site is so simple to use. They provide you with step by step instructions. So if you want to see Disney's A Chrsitmas Carol before anyone else and be able to brag that you have seen it already then download it right here. This process is not only simple to use it is also extremely fast. You can literally be watching your movie download within minutes. I don't know about you but that sounds a whole lot better than waiting in line forever, paying an arm and a leg for tickets not to mention snacks (got to have snacks) and getting stuck in a packed theater. I would much rather be on my comfy couch with my loved ones. A little bit abo...

by Secret Gold Guide The Secret Gold Guide and Warcraft Tycoon Gold Guide They are many gold making guides out there. Many warcraft players who want to buy some of these guides really don't know which one to buy which will enable them to make tons and tons of gold in the warcraft game. The secret gold guide and the Tycoon gold guide are great guides which can show you how to make that much needed gold. But which one of them can you buy? I have used these two guides and found that both of them were interesting. But to say the truth, Hayden Hawke's secret gold guide had an edge over the tycoon's gold guide. The tricks reveled in the secret gold guide are very new and fresh. The manner in which the guide is written is very explicit and easy to understand by all. If you want to get a very comprehensive gold making guide which will teach you all the new and up-to-date methods of farming gold - show you all the spots which you can make the maximum amount of gold, teach you some t...
