B’s latest work adventure took him all the way to Manchester, England. I thought it was most appropriate, as it presented the perfect opportunity for him to revisit the country he once called home for 3 years when studying in Coventry. His mission this time, was to do some coverage on My Team's visit to Manchester. My Team by the way is a reality show on TV 3, which aims to revive football in Malaysia whilst uncovering new talents in this sport.
This was no ordinary trip mind you; it was a dream come true for football fans, especially if you’re a Manchester United supporter. Aside from B and a handful of others, the entire group comprised hard-core MU fans, who couldn't wait to get down to the trip’s agenda, which included a visit to Old Trafford and MU dressing room, meeting some of the most renowned names in football as well as watching a live match between MU and Roma at Old Trafford!
Although it began as an MU affair in every way for B, the trip turned out to be a wonderful experience for him. By the end of his one-week visit, the Liverpool-fan B grudgingly admitted that he had a whale of a time in Manchester. Besides indulging himself in an uninterrupted week of his favourite sport, he also enjoyed a wonderful football shopping spree and even managed to make a short trip to Liverpool, which was a mere 55 minutes away by train.
So while we were looking through his Manchester pictures last night, B & I started reminiscing about our last trip to Tokyo, which we both truly enjoyed. We love to travel and have been planning another vacation for quite some time now. Unfortunately, our conflicting work schedules make it difficult to settle on an agreeable date. And the more we reminisced, the more we realized that we’re in dire need of a nice relaxing vacation. The thought of going away to some exotic faraway land for some R&R got us so excited we ended up browsing through the Internet for hours, in search of possible travel destinations for our next holiday.
One of the hotel reservations sites that really caught our eye was Hotel Reservations.com. As we scoured through an endless array of great destinations and fantastic packages available here, we were pleasantly surprised at their very competitive rates. Besides providing essential planning information and great travel tips, Hotel Reservations.com also includes a comprehensive listing to the most suitable hotel, motel, condo or resort that accommodate every budget. Plus, it guarantees you the lowest Special Internet Rates online. So if you’re planning a vacation, look no further as I assure you that this is the only site you’ll need to visit!
After exploring all the possible vacation destinations awaiting us at Hotel Reservations.com, we still couldn’t settle on one; there were just too many cool places to choose from! We did however have a wonderful time conjuring up images of all the great things we would see, do and experience at our next vacation. So we decided to keep this site bookmarked and will visit it again when our vacation date draws nearer but in the mean time, feast your eyes on B’s pictures in Manchester. I bet, after seeing his wonderful memories in Manchester, you'd definitely want to take a vacation yourself and make your own memories too! Enjoy! :)
