Your Own Private Hawaiian Island Hideaway

hawaiiThere are lots of tropical islands around the world, but one small chain of islands in particular is the place where everyone wants to go – Hawaii. But instead of booking the same old boring hotel room like everyone else does, do something different for your Hawaii trip. Make your trip truly memorable with a Hawaii vacation rental.

The Hawaiian islands are littered with hotels, some of which are incredibly expensive, but there are also plenty of more interesting places to stay as well. For instance, there is this secluded spot on Hale Akua Aloha on the Big Island. It is so private that you will feel like you are the only people on the entire island – which is perhaps the closest you will get to owning your own private island, so it may be a good idea to take advantage of the chance while you get it!

This house is no modern or sterile Hawaiian condo, either – it was built in the late 1950s, and the original builders were able to take advantage of the landscape to create a perfect getaway. And now this perfection and privacy can be yours – if only for a couple of weeks. The property boasts a private pool that is fed by the ocean, so while you may be able to go skinny dipping in private with your friends you will want to keep an eye on the tides. When was the last time you had to watch out for waves in your backyard pool?

From your vacation rental in Hawaii, you can also explore all of what the islands have to offer, including hiking, mountain biking, surfing and – of course – just lying around in the sun doing nothing. Of course, this private getaway is not cheap, but sometimes the perfect vacation is not cheap. And if this special spot is a bit too rich for your blood, there are plenty more Hawaii vacation rentals to choose from. But keep this place in mind for when you have saved a few more of those vacation pennies.

Go To England Before the Pubs Disappear

Yes, you read the title right. Globespotters has a feature warning us:

Pubs have been closing at the rate of 27 a week and another 1,000 will close by the end of this year. Rob Hayward, Chief Executive of the BBPA says “Pub closures at this rate are threatening an important hub of our social fabric and community history.”

This is alarming indeed. Where will we go for real beer in Europe, if not the place where good, strong ales are held in high regard? Sure, there’s Belgium–but a pub is a pub, and those cozy places with dark woods and romantically dim lighting aren’t always replicated well in other places.

So you can either down a suitcase of Bud to get the flavor that’s in a pint of English ale, or you can get yourself to England and drink real beer before all the little pubs that make their own non-industrial brews go kaput.

Get some friends together and splurge cheaply on a 2BR Self-catering Apartment with Luxury, right in the heart of fashionable London, or try some other English vacation rental near a pub. If you like real beer, you owe yourself this one.
