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!

Here are my offensive shoes!

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.

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.
