The Stripper Shoe Look?

I got these because I am all about the look of snake skin. I loved them! They looked good on inteh store and when I got then home, dirty Fila said she was not too keen on them because they look like stripper shoes. What do you think? Do they? Now these are black and red poka dot. Imagine these in snake skin. That is what mine are. Do they look like stripper shoes?

They are Madden Girl shoes. I have yet to wear them. I am waiting for just the right outfit to jump out of my closet and say, "they go with me!" I am not going to be discouraged. I love these shoes and I plan to wear them. I guess I will have to wear something conservative to tone them down. Then, you know what! I do not care. I love these shoes. I will wear them when and I want. Stripper like or not!

Pinched to Death!

I wore these for the first time on Monday. My toes were pinched to death all day. They were on sale for only $6.00 at TJ Maxx. They were a steal. Anne Klein. Suede. Beautiful. They felt fine when I tried them in the store. They felt good for the first two hours I had them on. They pressure began to set in as I sat at my desk. Well, I did not have my trusty crocs with me to switch out, so I was in shoe hell for the afternoon. With each step I took to the fax or the copier, they seemed to shrink even more around my toes. I just hope that this is just the pain of breaking them in.

Suede is supposed to give, or so I thought. Maybe after 3 or 4 more wearings they will fit like a glove. I sure hope so. They are lovely shoes and will go with so many winter things.

Scattered Shoes

Like rats on a sinking ship, people are resignign left and right at work. Today another will resign that the bosses do not know about yet. He told me. Work is a very different place. The shoes here are just crazy. I have been here as a new pair of heels for about 6 months now. The big shoes are rubbing heels the wrong way. Now there are all sorts of strategy meetings being held in the morning to figure out what is wrong. If anyone would ask me I could tell them. They do not know how to treat a shoes with kid gloves. Whether old or new, if you want people to stay in a job, treat them well.

My Inner Valley Girl

When I was in college, the whole valley girl thing was in. I was enamored with California and wanting to go there. It was a totaly different head...totally! Like I really could see me living on the beach in a totally rad place. Not some place that was grody to the max! Maybe live there for the summer in a like san diego beach house. WAY cool! How to choose? I would have to check out San Diego Vacation Rentals and Realty Consultants.

They were established in 1985 and specialize just in waterfront property near Mission Bay. Nice! Living on the coast myself, I really do have an appreciation for the water. The homes and rentals they manage rest on 5000 acres and 27 miles of shoreline. It seems that the general population do not really know they are there, but they are gaining in popularity each year. Mission Beach is the area that is key. Their are mission beach luxury homes that are perfect for vacations at any time of the year. You are never far from the beach or the bay and you can walk just about anywhere.

It does not rain in California (as the song says) so there is always lots to see and do. There are theme parks all around and in the Mission Bay area are The Wild Animal Park and Lego Land. In addition there are lots of community events that take place all year long. So if you are in the market for san diego vacation rentals, be sure to visit this site. They have pictures so that you can take a sort of virtual tour. It is good to be able to see what your are getting ahead of time. They also have a team of real estate porfessionals waiting to work with you in regards to your rental needs. So...embrace your inner valley girl. Get to California and stay in a great place in San Diego. The San Diego Realty Consultants will be able to handle all your needs to ensure a pleasurable stay.

Bringing Furry Back

I was shopping at Phillips Shoes recently..just looking really when I saw these. I fell in love and just had to get them. The only bad thing about them was that they were not on sale. They were the full $79.00. Now, just a week later, they are on sale everywhere for $39.00. I love them. The pony fur feels smooth. It is not real, but it lools like it is. These are the Aerosoles: Spantastic. Comfy!

Embracing My Inner Cowgirl!

It has been awhile since I visited my blogs. I have been consumed with family matters and work that left no time for anything like blogging. Boy how I have missed it. Slowly but surely I plan to get back into the swing of things. It is a new year and I have new shoes. It is good to be back. I hope I have the time to stay around a little more regularly.

Where am I now? A new job that I have been at for 6 months. New annoying co-workers who really do wear bad shoes. New shoes that I have yet to show you. But I will. Let's get the shoe on the road. Let me tell you about my shoe filled Christmas that I gave myself.

I went to visit dirty Filas godmother in Atlanta for christmas and I found the most wonderful pair of cowboy boots. Like I need another pair. I already have these that I love. I was in Lenox Mall and of course shopping for Christmas...you know...something for them, two things for me, something for her, two more things for me. Yeah that is how I roll! I saw these Frye boots and they screamed for me to get them. As soon as I saw them I was in love! I tried them on and of course my friend and dirty Fila were saying that they were hideous and that the store should be paying me to get them out of the place. They hated them. I bought them anyway. They could not believe it.

My friend said that I was not allowed to wear them around her, as I would look quite crazy in them. That was fine. I knew I would be wearing them when I got home for many years to come. Aren't they pretty? Pink sparkles? How can any girl pass them up? These are my new boots. Now don't hate...congratulate!

I have the light brown pair and they were a steal, on sale for only $132.00. Boooo-nanza!

Octoberfest

Octoberfest is held in my city off and on. I do not recall it being held this year, but when I was in colledge it was held often. I went once and tried a lot of the darker ales. It was a big party for all the college kids. It actually was started long ago, back in 1810, when a royal wedding of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen took place on Theresienwiese ("Theresa's fields"). As time passed by, Oktoberfest lost its original meaning, but preserved and even more acquired the spirit of overall joy and happiness. I wonder how it lost it's original meaning.

I wonder what it would be like to attend it in Germany. At times there are over 7 million people in attendence. I have never been to Germany but it too is a place I want to see some day. I have a good friend who was in the military and was stationed there for a few years. He loved Germany. I wonder if the hotels in germany are very expensive. With so many internet deals out there, I bet there are some very economical prices out there. I know there are some at Cheaper Than Hotels. They have a full range of accomodations from hostels to 5 star hotels at great prices.

They are able to do that because they have established a working network with various hotels and hotel chains around the world. Thus they are able to provide accomodations at very competitive prices. There are even special deals to be had, like last minute deals and some of the hotels in berlin even have free extras like internet access, faxing services and a gym. These free extras can be found at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Berlikn City Centre. It is located in the heart of the city just minutes away from the zoo and Kurfürstendamm boulevard. It is within 20 minutes of all the airports so, it makes it a convenient place to stay. Check out those prices. They are very reasonable.

You will find the same sorts of discounts at the hotels in munich. I noticed that today there is a special for only EUR 75. There are even some places that are on sale all year. Travel to Europe does not mean that you have to give up your life savings just to go. CheaperThanHotels.co.uk makes sure that is not the case. Their great deals make it possible for them to operate in 130 countries worldwide and they have even assisted over 100 million travelers with their accomodations.

My Newest Acquisitions!

This past weekend I found a great sale at The Shoe Department. Designer shoes were on sale for as low as $6.95. I had some control. I only got one pair of white leather pumps that will be great for next spring and summer. They are by Bellini. Bellini shoes and footwear is one of New Zealand's foremost fashion brands. Created from the European catwalks and adapted to the New Zealand lifestyle, Bellini shoes are manufactured in imported Italian leathers, offering affordable, quality shoes for every occasion. Their range includes the basic classics though to more directional fashion styles. Low, medium to high heels ensure all tastes are catered for. I could only find them in red but mine are white. They were only $12.00. Wonderful smooth leather shoes! I can;t wait till next year to wear them.

Not Made for Walking

These are what I wore to work today. They were comfortable and well broken in. They were great all day. Then. PTA meeting at dirty Fila's school. It was open house and so the parents had to attend all the classes. We had to spend about 5 minutes in in each class meeting the teacher. To do all the class it took 2 hours. The school is huge and I had to walk up and down stairs and walk long halls. By the time it was all over, I could hardly walk. My toes hurt now, even as I have my sperry's on. Those shoes are not made for excersize. Next time I will know. Change into my crocs!

Traveling Shoes

Whenever I have gone anywhere, I have always had my traveling shoes in order. I have always scoped out where I was going and have always done lots of research to find out all I could about going. Whenever I am on a trip I always take lots of pictures. In the past it has always been about putting together a photo album. Now it is all about putting together a travel log. I just started a travel blog on word press. I did not know about the free travel log and travel guide available on Real Travel.

If I had know about this before, I might have started writing my travel blog there. I might have more visitors to come by that way. The good thing about the site is that is is all information gathered by real travelers...people who actually went to those places. Real people who know all the ins and outs and who can offer real tips and advice that can make the trip a success.

It is also a resource for people thinking about going to a place. They have the chance to get some first hand information. Once they decide where they want to go, there is a free trip planner that will allow you to do research and even plan your itinerary. There is even a "things to do page" that will allow you to check by subject what is available to do and where. Now that is a REAL travel guide! IF you want to network with other travelers, you can do that in the forums and you can even get prices and deals on your travel. It helps to have a point of reference on travel.

Blogs have made a recanting of your visit in a particular place an on line travel guide. With narratives and pictures and often times links, you can just about find out all you want to know before picking the final destination. Be informed. Check out Real Travel. It is real travel by real places recanting their real travel experiences.

Strutting Shoes

These shoes are neck breakers. They are platform....BUT...they are just about the highest platforms I have ever seen. They are the highest pair of shoes I think I have. I got them at Parisians just as they were about to go out of business. They are brown leather, croc print. Just beautiful. I wore them for the first time about 2 months ago to church. They were not broken in. Within an hour I lived to regret not wearing them around the house first. I have not worn them since.

I have just looked at them. I need or plan to wear them around this weekend to break them in. They feel great. They just need to be stretched out a bit. The leather is so new. Once that happens, I know I could wear them all day.

Flights of Shoe Fancy

When I look at this shoe, it makes me think of better times. Happier times. Times before I lost a parent. I long for the whimsical, content days of jazz on Sunday and dinners out and laughter not hidden. When all there is that is extended toward me is anger and ridicule, it gets old quick. I do get a reprieve at times. I escape with a cup of coffee at the Barnes and Noble. I escape with my IPOD to musical places I used to visit daily. Best of all there is the beach. All things are better there. The wind and the surf ebbing and flowing sooth my ruffled heels and aching toes. Right now, at this moment, life is a shoe tight in the toes. I am cramped and it hurts!

Flip Flopping Around

I image that the only pair of shoes you would need in Hawaii are flip flops. That is what I see on TV generally. That is a very far away vacation spot. The thing that fascinates me the most are the volcanoes and the lore of now you can't take a lava rock or you will be cursed. I have heard those tales and have been intrigued. It has to be true because if you look that up on Snopes, the urban legend pages, it has the bad luck thing as true. It is not an urban legend.

I have not looked into staying in Hawaii at hotels or homes if I ever were to visit. In the event I do go there I at least have a place to research to find out about Hawaii real estate . Hawaii real estate has agents located on all the islands who can assist you in buying or selling property. For me moving there would be the retirement spot. The company which is American Dream Realty has partnerships with several mortgage companies to provide the best mortgage rates available. Free quotes are also available.

Oahu real estate is just one of the islands you may be interested in. Oahu is one of the bigger islands and is called the meeting place. Looking for property there is easy with the search tool on the site. To use it just enter your info, select the areas you are interested in and hit the search button. All properties then will pop up and you can contact an agent to get the lava rock rolling. (But just so long as it does not roll off the island--the curse)

Kauai real estate is just as easy to obtain or anywhere else for that matter. The company is worldwide and manages both rental and home owner properties. Even if you did not want to buy, you would be able to rent. When I think of any place on Hawaii I think of paradise...the beaches, the surfing, volcanoes and scenery. I do hope to visit there one day. I know that at least now, there is an easy way to find a place to live or rent while there, that is designed with me in mind. The best rental rates or mortgage rates that will save money for both me and the owners. So I had better gather up my flip flops for a possible future trip to the "big island". American Dream Realty can make the trip or retirement to Hawaii an American dream reality.

My New Sperry's

I bought a pair of Sperry topsiders just like these in two different colors very early in the summer. I got a pair of green suede ones and a pair of cream leather ones. They are wonderful. The green sueded ones will go with many winter things I have. I have worn the cream pair and they go with just about everything. With the heavy leather on the bottom they are most durable.

I truly believe that a girl can never have enough Sperry's. I am up to five pairs now.

Sneaking In

Recently I have taken to sneaking in new shoes whenever I buy them. These lovely shoes dirty Fila wanted for winter so I got them. The only difference is that hers are brown. So to get them into the house without any comments being said, I took them out of the bag and took all the stickers off and put them in the garage. You know, make them look like they have always been around and that they were taken off in the garage for some reason. Then..on to dirty Fila's closet, they will go. They are American Eagle clogs.

See. Don't even think that there is not a way for me to buy a new pair of shoes. I have ways!

Something Other than Uggs

My main reason to go to Australia would be for the country side. I want to go there badly. It is on my list of places to see before I go to the great shoe store in the sky. I would of course be wearing Uggs or Blundstones. What else would I be wearing? They tend to be kind of expensive but then again they are all real leather. I would be okay with that because it is all about the shoes. I would be even more happy because of the wonderful deals I would get on Sydney Hotels. Can you believe there are specials that run only $79.00 per day? That is at the Metro Inn Edgecliff. That is most economical, so I could spend a little more on shoes. Sydney can accommodate the traveler looking for a five star hotel to the student who is looking to stay at a hostel.

It is nice to know that affordable hotels are available in Sydney and in other cities all over Australia. Take the Darling Harbour Hotels. This area is one of the main tourist hangouts with lots of restaurants, exhibits and nightlife. There are bargains that start as low as Fr. AUD 130. There are lots of attactions all within walking distance of the area hotels. Some of the hotels there also offer free inclusions during your stay with them. There are even last minute deals to be had and special offers with 21 days of arrival.

North Sydney Hotels are located with the business district. There is train and bus service that can take you to the city or to and from the airport. If you choose to walk, you can be back in the city in twenty minutes and five minutes by cab. So even staying there, a little furthur out is not an inconvenience. You still have easy access to all the attractions of the city. In North Sydney the accomodations are guest houses, apartment, flats and some hostels. When staying there ask about free inclusions like parking, internet access, breakfasts and gyms. You might not even want to leave the hotel at all if the services at the lodging are very nice.

With all these deals and freebies, ther is not reason not to have a grand time in Australia. Economical and quality accomodations are just a few clicks away.

School Shoe Drama

Im mid August my nephew was visiting and my mother too him out on a $600 shopping spree like he did not have any parents to buy him school clothes. No problem with that. But, if you do for one grandchild like that you have to do the same for the other and that was not done. When we were all out together, I suggested that she go ahead and get dirty Fila her school shoes. That request was refused. My mother said that she would get them later. Well, there is no time like the present in my book. You have the purse strings open for one grandchild, they need to be open for the other.

Well, of course later never came. She never did get her anythign for school at all and never suggested we go out to get anything for her. School is now in session. I knew that my mother would do that as my nephew is her favorite and she shows him all sorts of extra attention that she never turns to my child's way. dirty Fila felt bad. I spoke to her and told her not to worry. I would be able to get all of her school things and all the shoes she wanted as well. To begin the school year she wanted two pairs of Sperry Topsiders. I got her both. These are the ones.

She got these and all was right in the world again for her. Me? I still believe it was wrong for my mother not to do for one grandchild as she has for another.

Nikes for the American Indian

Nike unveiled Tuesday what it said is the first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a population with high obesity rates.

The Beaverton-based company says the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look. It will be distributed solely to American Indians; tribal wellness programs and tribal schools nationwide will be able to purchase the shoe at wholesale price and then pass it along to individuals, often at no cost.

"Nike is aware of the growing health issues facing Native Americans," said Sam McCracken, manager of Nike's Native American Business program. "We are stepping up our commitment ... to elevate the issue of Native American health and wellness."

Nike designers and researchers looked at the feet of more than 200 people from more than 70 tribes nationwide and found that in general, American Indians have a much wider and taller foot than the average shoe accommodates. The average shoe width of men and women measured was three width sizes larger than the standard Nike shoe.

As a result, the Air Native is wider with a larger toe box. The shoe has fewer seams for irritation and a thicker sock liner for comfort.

Hoteles en Spain!

Last year dirty Fila's middle school class tried to get a group to go to Spain. It did not get off the ground because it cost too much and the money was needed right at the start of the school year. It sounded fantastic but I had to say no to that one. Now in the future, I plan to let her go and me too. I want to go to Spain. I just want to travel period! Barcelona and Madrid are definitely two places I want to go.

Where would I stay once I got there? What are the prices like? Well wonder no more. Hoteles en Barcelona run the fill gamut from one star hotels that cost 18 eur to five star places that cost a lot more. There is something in a price range to fit every budget. There are even special free incentives and even great deals on last minute bookings. Spain has alot to offer from the beaches to the city. It seems that it is the place to go with many ways to get there whether it be by plane, car or train.

Hotels in Madrid can be so economical because Cheaper than Hotels offers year round pricing due to the fact that they have formed excellent working relationships with leading hotel chains and thousands of hotels across the globe. That allows them to bring the best competitive prices to their guests. You can even get last minute deals that come with freebees like free parking and even some meals. If it is within 20 days of your arrival, last mintue bookings are available with full payment due once you arrive. You just need to reserve the accomodations on line with a booking fee or deposit.

Lines are manned 24 hours a day and there are even bilingual staff there to help with any language barriers. Hotels in Barcelona are just as economical. It is very easy to book. Just fill in the dates of your arrival and departure and where you want to go. Once you hit the search button, it will bring you all the results of hotels and other things available during the time you want to go. That is ease in travel. With the web that trip to Spain will be a breeze. So eb sure to check out cheaper than hotels.

Spanish Shoes

I have begun to take up Spanish again. I took it for 8 very long years and got very good at it. In the past 8 years I have not really used it and it is now leaving me. I want to become very conversational again. Especially with dirty Fila taking it now in high school--the advanced class. She has had it for the last 3 years in middle school.

I want to be fluent because I think she has a school trip to Costa Rica this summer. I want to go as a chaperone and I want to be able to speak the language just as well as she does. I found a great book that comes with a CD.. Spanish Now. So far so good. I will be soon be wearing my flamingo shoes!

It's Me Again

It has been awhile. I have been very busy with all sorts of non-blog like things. I have missed being here. And guess what? In the interim I have bought some new shoes and have finally worn some I have been saving until the fall. New but have never been worn. I want to get back to comign more frequently. I plan to do so. This had been a fun place to come to when things were stressful. Shoes can take my stress away.

I have also had some odd shoe encounters. Very odd. More to come.

Downunder

Cheap hotels in Sydney are as plentiful as the many styles of Ugg boots that I would be wearing when I was there. Sydney is one of my dream places that I want to see on a vacation. Once Survivor was filmed on location in the outback, I was hooked. Australia was one of the places that was on my list. Whatever your accomodation needs are, whether it be a 5 star hotel or just a place to sleep, you will be able to find it at a reasonable price. There are even special deals for travel on short notice available. While my trip will be planned it is nice to know that if you were to hit a windfall and decide to take off, you would have no problem with accomodations.

Some of the best values in Sydney Hotels can be found in Darling Harbour because of all the attactions there. It would be great to be so close to the Sydney Aquarium. I hear that is a spectacular place. In addition, there are water activities, the threater and museums to choose from as well. Today there is even a special on accomodations that begin at $99.00 at the Vulcan Hotel. Be sure to check that out.

Sydney Accommodations at such good values are available only via Cheaper than Hotels. They have put together a team of professonal staff that have created good working relationships with various hotels around the world in order to provide their customers with such good prices. They provide competive rates with many free perks! If you are on the move to go downunder or back of beyond , then check out the values on the hotels in Sydney. You will not be disappointed! You might just be happy as larry! G'day.

Wellie Hater!

My mother is a wellie hater. I was talking about boots that I really like and the fact that it hasd just begun to drizzle outside. My mother informed me that she absolutely hates my rain boots. She hates the cowboy boots as well, but she REALLY hates my rainboots. I informed her that regardless, I loved them or I would not have bought them and that I would be wearing them regardless of what she thought! Can we say FIGHT! Hating my shoes is fighting words.

Now I could see if I were wearing rain boots on sunny days.....now that is an idea...on sunny days and looking crazy! Say something then. But not just because y9ou don't like them and I have been wearing them for two years. The nerve. Some peopel just don't have good taste. I will be earing my rain boots and cowboy boots for many years to come! She had better watch out! She might get a pair of rain boots for her birthday! See how she likes those wellies..I mean apples!

Thoughts About Learning

I was talking with a friend of mine whose child is now in college and she said that one of the things she did that really made a difference in her child's education and college choice was listening to books on tape. Instead of listening to the radio whenever they were in the car, she was listening to classic books like Wuthering Heights, Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies and Shakespeare. She did this and she said it helped alot with her childs comprehension and vocabulary. I thought that was a great idea. I went to my local library on yesterday and checked out Animal Farm and Pompeii, The History of the Roman Empire for dirty Fila. Can we say she was not pleased.

We had a long talk about why I was doing this and how it could help her future and that she needed to look to the future for high school and college. She reluctantly finally did listen to what I had to say. It is only to help her. I also explained that no matter how old you are, learning never stops. It does not stop when school is out during the summer or after you complete college. Learning continues forever. I explained to her that I might be going back to graduate school and that I might do that the e-learning way. Nowadays with the age of technology people can get graduate and undergraduate degrees in the conveniece of their own homes via computer. Capella University is one establishment that provides that for its students.

With e-learning you can access your classes and tests at any time. You also can participate in class discussions and interact with the professor as needed. Grades and homework are posted online. It is so easy it is almost like using an email system. Using the computer to study is interactive with a good deal of your course work being done offline. Capella is an accredited university with some of the best teachers in their field of academics. There are also enrollment counselors that will help with your course selection to be sure that you reach your educational as well as professsional goals.

Enrollment is open now, so consider enrolling. It is never too late to get an education or furthur the one you already have.

They also have a new program in public safety making them among the first on-line schools to offer that to their students. Capella is an institution that is committed to providing high-caliber academic excellence !

Almost Time for School Shoes

dirty Fila informed me today what shoes she wants for school. She wants a new pair of Sperry topsiders and a pair of some special sort of Adidas shoes. I can't recall the type, but she can. What I do recall about them is the price...about $70. The Sperry's will be about $60. I have already priced those. This is the shoe she wants but I noticed some other new styles that were just as nice or nicer for fall. She may not end up with these.

Bride Attacks Groom with Stiletto Shoe

This is not the best way to start off the perfect marriage!


(AP) LONDON Scottish bride Teresa Brown's dream of a perfect wedding day probably did not include attacking the groom with her stiletto shoe and spending the weekend in a cell.

Police arrested the 33-year-old in the couple's hotel room in April while her wedding reception continued downstairs, prosecutor Alan Townsend said Tuesday at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. She spent the rest of her wedding weekend in a cell.

The distraught groom, Mark Allerton, 40, staggered to the front desk, clutching a bloody towel to his head, Townsend said.

"He indicated that his wife had struck him over the head with a stiletto heel," the prosecutor said.

Police found Brown, a real estate agent's assistant, sitting on the hotel room bed, surrounded by broken glass.

Brown told police she and her husband had "been accusing each other of different things," the prosecutor said, without going into details. Brown said she hit him on the head because he had taken a hold of her, he added.

Brown's lawyer Stuart Beveridge said the newlyweds began throwing things at each other after an argument in their room turned physical. He said Brown had been on antidepressants at the time and had been drinking.

"She and her husband are still together although this incident has not helped," he said, adding she is receiving counseling.

Sheriff James Tierney let Brown off on the assault charge with a warning and fined her 250 pounds ($505) for damaging the hotel room and ordered her to pay the hotel 500 pounds ($1,150) in compensation.

Hilton Treetops said in a statement that they were happy the case has closed.

"This has been a very unusual case," the hotel said.

Happy Fourth of July!

Celebrate in the "right attire!" Can't have a dress like this without the correct shoes!

Reform School Shoes

Enough already. Poor rich little Paris. Is she now going to be wearing reform shoes? According to what I had read she "says" she is. One article said that God has given her another chance. With all the antics I have seen it is very hard for me to take that with any seriousness. All I can see is her saying, "God. He's hot!" That sounds like the REAL Paris. There have been too many of these types of pictures. Who really takes her serious? She is almost a walking vagina, she shows it so much!

EWWWWWH! Does she have a rash in that photo? So after a pink cake and hair extensions she is a new woman who has found God. I will have to wait and see if she is really wearing reformed shoes and for exactly how long.

Keen Footwear-Hybrid Life

I have just bought a pair of Keens. Why? Just because they are a little different. They are all about standing: up, out and for something. Shoes with a vision. I will be doing some ruigged walking and hiking when I go on vacation in a few weeks so some different shoes than what I already have were needed. My Keen Footwear is the Hood River II shoe. These shoes are a cross of water shoe, part sandal and part Crock.

The traction on them is great! They are made with a wet traction technology called Aqua Stop that gives the Keen Hood River II has serious grip even on slick surfaces. Because of the open air design drainage when in or near water is no problem. The webbing under the strap also helps with drainage. It is a very comfortable shoe that I can wear just about all day. Here they are.

As soon as I can get my camera I will post me in them. I have started wearing them today to break them in before the trip. Nothing is worst than a bad pair of shoes on a trip. Trust me I know first hand....I will never forget those horrible pair of Nine West Bad Bad Shoes that ripped up my heels. Going on a trip? Break the shoes in first!

You can get a pair like mine/these here. It has been 6 hours now and they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever had on. They are fantastic! Several styles to choose from.

These are some men styles!

London Travel

One of these days in the very near future I would love to go to Europe. I really just want to hit all the highlights on the first time. I would have to go to London. The Royals and Buckingham Palace are there. That is one place I would have to see. I mean they have lived there since 1837 and the Queen allows parts to be visited by the public. It would be one of the first places to see and soon after would be Big Ben. There are lots of places to stay from the very nice to the very cheap. I think I would be somewhere in the middle. Cheap hotels in London are everywhere. That is why it is the hot spot of so many students to go to after graduation. I remember when I graduated from high school eons ago, quite a few of my classmates were given that by their parents as a gift.

I am not sure if those who were going were going to stay in hostels or not. I just know that accomodations are quite affordable there for as little as gbp 10.00. Who can beat that? Now that is a hostel but if all you are looking for is a place to sleep it is worth it. For that cost it is a 1 star accomodation. Due to all of the beautiful, historic landmarks, cheap accomodations can be found everywhere in just about every suburb. Take the cheap hotels in Piccadilly for example. If you are backpacking the prices start at GBP 20 and go on up to GBP 168 for a 5 star hotel for those who want just a little more comfort. These prices are good all the time, whether your trip is one that has been planned for a year or whether you decided to make a last minute jaunt. Lots of the accomodations are within walking distance of famous landmarks like Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park.

CheaperThanHotels is far reaching with accomodations in other places as well. One of my dream places is Down Under and sure enough there are cheap hotels in Australia . Australia has such a varied landscape with beaches and tropics to very dry areas. There are budget accomodations and luxury resorts in all of those areas that range from serviced apartments, hotels and backpacker hostels. CheaperThanHotels has last minute deals that are available only on line and extras that come with some of your travel selections. How can they do this? Well they have established networks with leading hotel chains worldwide to bring affordable travel arrangements to the public at competetive prices.
