Villas in Italy, Amsterdam and More!


Europe
back in September seems like a million miles away now that I've been home for several months. And though B and I would love to embark on yet another exciting adventure, it will simply have to wait while we work on rebuilding our vacation fund. Smiley

Meanwhile, it won't hurt to start thinking about our next trip and the most important question we have to address is the location. We already have a few destinations in mind and since we had such a grand time in Amsterdam, we are actually thinking of returning to this awesome city.
Singapore is also on our list but all suggestions are still up in the air and we have an entire year to work this out, provided money and time will not be an issue of course! Smiley

Amsterdam Souvenir

Remember when I was busy choosing the perfect hotel in Amsterdam for the second part of our European Escapade? Well, figuring out accommodation will no longer be stressful now that I'm a member of Owners Direct, Expedia and Trip Advisor, the sites we used to book our hotels for our Europe vacation. If we do decide to make our next vacation another European affair, I would be able to easily locate villas in Italy, villas in Cyprus or other hotels in major vacation destinations worldwide.

Our hotel in Amsterdam

Speaking of Europe and all its glorious splendour, I am leaving you with a few more pictures from our Amsterdam trip. Currently, I'm still blogging about Day 4 of our London days so we have yet to reach Amsterdam. But here's a glimpse of what's to come when I embark on the second part of our European Escapade. Anyone planning a vacation soon? I would love to know your destination!

Cruising the streets of Amsterdam

B took this last shot of me and he claims it's one of his best; very postcard-like it seems! ihikhik
