Yup..! yer heard right..!! i lucked in this year.. ! barely a month ago.. i was up in the city.. and bought almost $200 in Chinese food.. because my MIL had given me extra. . an advance Christmas gift.

Yesterday saw our very good and steadfast friend/customer .. Gerald lugging 4 bags of Asian groceries for me… and insist on giving me back change of a few dollars.. when he had saved us so much money and time. So yes.. i have more food now.. and lots of lotus roots.. in turn i shared it with Mr Choo from the Chinese restaurant.. so that he can make some chinese soup for his wife and daughter. Yes.. I strongly believe in giving when one is so blessed.

Too early you think to plan for a Valentine Getaway..?? I think not.. because of our busy schedule, if i didn’t do it right now, I’ll bet .. i’ll missed it.. and finally gave up. .and not do anything special for Valentine.

In any relationship, after a certain period of time, it gets kinda monotonous.. and dreary. I am sure you feel the same as I, not that we love our partner any lesser, just that familiarity breeds .. hmmm.. being too lax..?? A truly unforgettable Valentine escapade is what any woman would be looking forward to.

Paris is of course my first choice. Afterall, what can beat a Valentine break in Paris, where the city is known for being romantic.. and the food, exquisite! You’ve gotta love the french.. when it comes to being romantic.. and providing the finest not only in scenery but in food. Enchanted by the Eiffel Tower.. and its breathtaking view.. and renewing your vows right on top of the Eiffel Tower, is one of my plans. But a Carribean romance is also to die for.

Your vacation need not be expensive either, for making direct reservations with Holiday Rentals save you up to as much as 40% of the agent price. So if you are like me, always busy.. and always making excuses, make your direct reservations now.. and avoid any disappointment.
