I hope summer comes sooner than later this year. It just seems that’s it’s taking too long especially with all the snow coming once again. *sigh*.

I have already been talking about vacations with my parents and what they have in mind. My father wants to go to Cuba. My mother has no preference. Myself? Undecided yet.

But thank goodness for websites like VacationRentals.com. At least I can find different vacation homes we can rent out such as the Florida Vacation Home section of the site. From there I can easily pick a specific location in Florida and see what rental homes there are. The best thing is that they have so many possibilities and many different cities all across the world. Sweet!

I have never been to Florida so it would be nice to go down there with my family. My aunt and uncle always talk about it too, so I’m sure it would be fun.

*looks out window* … I hope summer is coming … seriously I do.

I love recalling long lost memories…even ones from my childhood. One of them that I just thought about the other day, actually goes in hand with a special announcement I need to make in this post.

When I was a kid, a lot of times my sisters and I would get all dolled up and dance to random music on the radio. It was hilarious because our hair would be everywhere and the clothes we wore were actually really ridiculous!! But we didn’t care on bit. It was us dancing with the music that was playing.

Guess who was the artist we listened to quite often, due to my parents liking this person’s music? Nope not Elvis…It’s CHER!!!

I just found out that there are Cher Tickets at Caesars Palace. She’s actually have a show starting at the beginning of May this year!!! OMG..that is friggin awesome!! I told my parents and they were honestly really excited to hear about it.

I adore her music. She has such a unique voice that is really easy to listen to. Plus her songs are just so wonderful!! Come on…I think everyone is a Cher fan. You have had to grown up listening to her!! Well, I did anyways. LOL!

So ya, her new show is coming to Caesars Palace which is in Las Vegas. It’s replacing the show in which Celine Dion use to perform. Maybe I can convince my parents of taking the whole family on a road trip down to the States to see her live. Now THAT would be AMAZING!!!

Living in Canad has it perks especially when it comes to snowfalls. Even though driving conditions can be horrendous, you can have just that much more fun in the snow.

Looking at snowmobiling or even skiing. There are resorts and places you can do both of these activities in almost every city I know. You can even go on a Snowmobile vacation in Lanaudière which is in the province of Quebec.

Lanaudière has already received 18 inches of snow just this week! Can you imagine what it’ll be like in the middle of winter? If you check out SnowMobileCountry.ca, you’ll be able to find information on how to plan your trip, snowmobile trails to check out, see pictures of the place, and even order maps or brochures.

If you’re looking to have a good time this winter, then plan your snowmobile vacation here!!

Are you planning on coming to Canada? If you are then there’s one city you must stop at. It’s Toronto, Ontario.

I personally live about 40 minutes away from Toronto and visit there whenever I can. It’s a gorgeous city with lots of activities and events happening. If you’re looking to purchase a home or rent an apartment, then you may want to check out these Toronto condos that are available through Haffwood Services Ltd.

You will find the best buildings to live in with accommodations that will exceed your expectations. Plus, if you act right now, you can get a $500 gift certificate to anyone who buys a condo through Haffwood Services Ltd. Talk about getting a bonus!! Check it out!

Do you have a car?? If you do then you should have a first aid kit with medical supplies in it. You never know when you’ll need to pull it out and use it.

There are so many times where someone has cut themselves while on a family outing. Sometimes, the cut or injury is more serious than it looks. A least with having a first aid kit in your car, you can use it for the time being until you get to the nearest hospital so they can take a look.

Just check at your local department stores for this as I’ve seen it many times before. It would make a great Christmas gift too!! …just an idea for ya. lol

If you haven’t had the opportunity on visiting Ontario, Canada, make sure you do so. There are so many great cities to visit which have lots of things to check out. Places like Toronto, Hamilton, Brampton, Thunder Bay, and Niagara Falls are all places you should visit.

Being that I live in Hamilton, I always get the opportunity of visiting neighbouring cities. One of these cities is Brampton. I just came across this website that has all the information you would want if you were going to visit Brampton. Here are just a few:

• movies
• local businesses
• real estate
• restaurants
• places to shop
• sports
• upcoming events
• and so much more

It truly is your one stop information site for knowing what’s going on in the city of Brampton. Check it out today!

It’s crazy to think that it’s nearing the end of October so soon. Time is really flying by this year. I’m grateful, of course, since my nephew is to be born next month. Woot!! Can’t wait!

When you think about it, summer isn’t that far away either. Heck, this year is pretty much at it’s end. Then shortly after Christmas people will be booking their cruises, flights, and other exotic destinations for their summer vacation.

It’ll be here sooner than you know it. It’s like “boom”…months just fly by!!
