Now that we have touched on one of the more magical cities in the world – NYC, let’s move onto another city that is actually not in the US that is making waves this V-Day. Montreal is actually one of those places that you truly can get a taste of Europe just from going there. This French-Canadian city is actually extremely romantic and is filled with a ton of charm and history.
If you want a vacation that is packed with romance, this is the place that you need to be going. There are a ton of different bistros as well as cafes, all of which will perk not just your interest but also your taste buds, as they are all incredible.
One cool benefit that Montreal has is the fact that it has a beautiful indoor ice skating arena, which is perfect for those of you that are extremely active!

If you are in the mood for a more exotic vacation, then look no further than Ko Tao in Thailand. Overflowing with rich, verdant landscapes that stretch on and on, beautiful locations for diving, exotic wildlife, amazing marine life — what more could you ask for? This is definitely the place to be if you love the great outdoors, and want to experience them in a new place.
Nam Ha in Laos is another much sought after, exotic destination. You may not think of Laos as a hot vacation spot, but that changes this year. A trip to Nam Ha is satisfying in a number of different ways, including culturally. You can actually stay with some of the locals, hike through the beautiful mountains, or go on tours of jungles and waterfalls, guided by those who know the land best.

Consider 2010 your year to travel, my friends. Consider it the year you finally start trying to take all those trips you’ve been wanting to take, so you can see all those places you’ve always wanted to see. Why? Because you won’t believe all of the exotic destinations that are popular this year.
For instance, why not take a trip to Tasmania? Specifically, the Bay of Fire (or Bay of Fires) is the place to be this year. It might be that you have never before heard of this place, which is located just off of the coast of charming, quaint St. Helen’s — but no matter, you will.
It is considered a paradise to all who have heard of it, with its precious little cottages located directly on the shore — available to rent, by the way!

Are you ready to take a hop across the pond? I know that you are! It will be a worthwhile trip as well, because London ranks number three in the top New Years destinations for this year.
Right from the London Eye, there will be a spectacular display of fireworks. You will be able to see them from balconies and rooftops all over the city — but if you want the very best vantage point, you need to get a spot on the Westminster Bridge, or else get a seat on the north bank of the famed River Thames.
Just after Big Ben rings in the midnight hour, the fireworks start and last until a quarter after.
Do not worry, though; the pubs, the clubs, and the fabulous restaurants stay open long, long after that!

Now, it might surprise you to know that watching the ball drop down under is a big deal, but it is indeed. Sydney, Australia is actually a very exciting place to spend New Years Eve.
In fact, it is considered the very first city in the entire world to ring in the New Year. It is thus no wonder that they do it in such a big way. Their dazzling display of fireworks is thought to be the biggest one in the whole world and it does not end until a quarter after midnight.
The party does not stop there, though. You can find various big time celebrations rocking out until dawn, at least.
And the best vantage point for those fireworks? Well, anywhere on the Sydney Harbour Bridge will do, but your best bet is to be in a boat right in the harbor.

New Years is coming up and many people are asking, where are the best parties at?
Well, it goes without saying that the number one hot spot is New York City. You ain’t seen a New Years Eve celebration until you have seen the one that goes on in Times Square.

For over one hundred years, Times Square has been the place to ring in the New Year — and the party does not stop when the ball drops, people.
To really ring in the New Year, this is where you want to be — though good luck getting near the Square. You have to start early!

So private jets and planes are super nice but for those of us that can not afford those … there is something that you can do to ensure that you do fly in the lap of luxury and that is simply upgrading your seat to first class. I can tell you that flying first class is definitely the way to go if you have a really long trip.
This little picture here? Well, that is just one plane that has went above and beyond for their passengers in first class. They offer up TV, meals, liquor – everything that you need to get through the flight, especially if it is a longer flight overseas.
First class is not usually all that expensive to upgrade either. $50.00 most of the time and that really makes it affordable for everyone!

Now that we have touched on flying in style in a private jet, I can tell you for sure that not everyone can afford that. However … did you know that there are actual private planes that you can rent? These are pretty inexpensive … depending on where you go and they are absolutely beautiful inside.

In the next blog, we are going to touch on first class and how you can find the best deal ever on first class seats!
