SLEEPLESS & PENNYLESS IN SEATTLE

Advantages: Discovering a really beautiful piece of the U.S.A
Disadvantages: None unless you want sandy beaches and palm trees.

Sleepless and Pennyless in Seattle !!! and I was both. Staying in a little paper manufacturing town of Camas, on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge which divides Washington State from Portland, in Oregon, gave me lots of oportunity to explore the surrounding countryside. Most of all a chance to stay in Seattle and explore this very dramatic area situated on the borders of Canada. A short drive up and you find yourself crossing over into Vancouver in British Colombia, Canada. I booked a ticket on the retired American Greyhound which goes by the name of Green Tortoise, for obviouse details....anyone who has travelled this way, will know exactly what I mean. Never heard of it? then I will be writing a reviiew about it shortly. The only way I can visualise it for you is to say that it is a bright green Hippy bus for anyone who ...

Review of Seattle

Very comfy stay in Seattle

Advantages: Good location, good facilities, really comfy beds!
Disadvantages: Expensive

Last summer my boyfriend and I travelled across Canada and down through America. Our first stop in the States was Seattle. Now, being two students we wouldn't normally have given the Hilton a second thought. However, my father (bless him!) had a Hilton Honours card with a few spare points on and so offered to use these to give us the room! We were very grateful, especially as we were due to arrive in Seattle quite late in the evening and we didn't relish the thought of finding we were staying in a dump when we arrived! We were pretty sure that the Hilton would provide us with a clean, comfortable welcome so we jumped at the chance of staying there. PRICES There is no set room rate for this hotel. You have to type in the dates you want to go on and then they give you the rate for that room for that particular night. Our room ...

Review of Hilton Seattle, Seattle

A to Z of resolutions

Advantages: It's not 2007 anymore!
Disadvantages: I didn't do very well.....

Last year I decided to hedge my bets and do an A-Z of resolutions on Ciao - the thinking being that I'd at least manage to keep some of them. So, a year later it's time to see how I did. In order to get an overall idea of how I did, I will give myself 1 point where I have achieved my aim, deduct 1 point where I clearly haven't, and nothing for those where I neither have nor haven't! A = A in A level Psychology - I'm currently doing an A level Psychology via distance learning (i.e. I read the text book and meet with a tutor sporadically and say "everything's fine!", and turn up to the exams). This resolution is certainly achievable but only if I do get my finger out and do some work, as one of the exams is in 3 weeks! Verdict - achieved - 1 point B = Badminton - Hubby and I started playing badminton just over a year ago ...
