Tips for Making Business Travel More Enjoyable

 If you have a job which involves doing a lot of travelling, you might start to feel tired, worn out and a little fed up from being away from home all the time. Whether it’s travel overseas or working away in the UK, spending long periods away from loved ones and those endless nights in lonely hotel rooms can take its toll. Here’s some top tips to help make your business travel life more enjoyable:

1                 1)  Explore
If you’re constantly moving around touring different parts of the country then there’s no excuse not to explore. Do some research on the place you’re heading to in advance and make a list of local attractions, independent restaurants and the sights you’d like to see. In your spare time, head out to see all these different things and time away from home will pass much more quickly than if you spend it sat in the hotel room the whole time.

2                  2)  Surprise Family and Friends
Keeping in touch with family and friends is now easier than ever before so whilst you’re away remind them that you’re thinking about them by sending them gifts. With domestic delivery services like the ones at TNT available for such great prices, you’ll be able to send them home a welsh cake from Swansea, or a delicious Bakewell Tart from Derbyshire, even a fridge magnet from a local landmark or a souvenir from a museum, to let them know you’re thinking about them.

                     3)  Travel with Your Home Comforts
One thing is for sure, living in hotel rooms you do start to miss your home comforts, so always be sure to pack the essentials when you’re going away on business. From your favourite fluffy slippers to your own dressing gown and favourite brand of tea bags, with your home comforts at hand you’ll be sure to feel a lot less lonely. There’s nothing like a few chocolate Hob Nobs and a cup of tea to make you feel right at home.

By following these tips on your next business trip, hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy your time away from home a lot more and the time should whizz by a lot faster. The homelier you make your time away the quicker it will go and before you know it, it will be time to head back home again.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
