Travel Thursday - Rome this Summer!


Blogthings says I should travel to Rome this summer so tonight I will search online for gorgeous Florence apartments! Some people might say that hotels or accommodation while travelling is not as important because you most likely will be out most of the day. For me however, accommodation is vital. Smiley

Firstly, the location has to be strategic; ensuring ease and speed in getting around the hot spots of the strange city I'm currently visiting. Secondly, the hotel has to be clean with an attached bathroom. I am a stickler for that rule simply because I hate the idea of sharing bathrooms with strangers. And last but not least, I just require a little breathing space so too tiny a room will see me sulking! Of course it is an added bonus if my choice turns out to be a beautifully-decorated hotel room for that simply adds to my comfort when travelling!
ihikhik

By the way, I've never stayed in an apartment while travelling. It has always been hotels but I am open to the idea of booking one next time, especially if they look anything like these gorgeous apartments in Florence. See for yourself!

I wanted to post more pictures of my Singapore trip this post but I'm just too darn lazy to edit them first so I'll save those for my next
Travel Thursday post okay? For now, have fun with the Blogthings quiz and the next time I talk travel, we will be in Universal Studios Singapore! Smiley

Your Summer Vacation is Rome

You are warm and welcoming. You will go the extra mile to make someone feel included.

Hospitality is important to you. You like to feel welcomed by strangers.

You are people focused and extroverted. You know what's going on in everyone else's life.

You are family oriented. Some of your best memories revolve around the family dinner table.

Hola Sweetie! Same here! I wouldn't want to share the bathroom with anyone I don't know.

We've sorely missed Universal Studio, huhuhu! Our sked was so tight we weren't able to squeeze it in.

Another time ;)

Mariuca,  July 08, 2011 3:09 PM

I've never tried staying in an apt sweetie but the one my sis booked when we visited her in UK was great, very spacious, got bathtub, great location and price also not so bad, so it's a great option to stay in an apt if u prefer not to stay in a hotel! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Mariuca,  July 08, 2011 3:10 PM

Hey sweetie, I've written a Singapore post already prior to this post, u can see here yeah?

eastcoastlife,  July 08, 2011 8:58 PM

I saw Rome and then the Singapore Universal Studio..... I was confused. hehehe.....

I want to know what you did in USS. :P

eastcoastlife,  July 08, 2011 9:00 PM

What happened to your comments ah? I cannot post for the last 2 weeks. They disappeared when I click 'post'. :(

Lily Arbee,  July 09, 2011 1:11 AM

Hi! Rome is a beautiful and interesting place to visit. You should you can. Venice is a romantic place, good for you and B, yes besides many other places of interest, you ought to enjoy the gondola with someone to serenade for you both. Maybe I should try this quiz too. Quite eager to know the result for me. :) ;) :* :* :* :* :*

Life Ramblings,  July 09, 2011 9:23 AM

like most people, i luv Rome. Italy is so romantic in every sense of the word. Plan your next getaway to this country in autumn Marzie. i bet you will enjoy every moment of your life with B as much as i've enjoyed mine.

Life Ramblings,  July 09, 2011 9:24 AM

i've been thinking a lot about Sg lately. i wanna visit USS too. any kids would love this theme park very much.

Life Ramblings,  July 09, 2011 9:27 AM

I think all the efforts to gather support through Bersih is not really Bersih, i'm not supporting it. It is a sad political affair and Malaysia is always on the global news for the wrong season.

Life Ramblings,  July 09, 2011 9:27 AM

are you participating in the BERSIH rally today?? be safe and take care.

Life Ramblings,  July 09, 2011 9:28 AM

hope you have a wonderful weekend Mariuca.

LadyJava,  July 09, 2011 2:26 PM

The Twerp and I,  July 10, 2011 8:01 AM

I love reading about your travels. Will await your post on the Rome trip :)

bluedreamer27,  July 13, 2011 2:43 AM

Mine is Paris woohoo
You love abstract ideas and concepts. You are a deep thinker.
You are part philosopher and part artist. You look at the world in interesting ways.

You soak up culture and knowledge of all sorts. You are very intellectual.
You have no desire to lead or follow anyone. You're on your own awesome solo journey

bluedreamer27,  July 13, 2011 2:47 AM

never had a chance to travel far places... what a shame huhuhu... but if i were given a chance.. i would love to visit Olakahoma... there's nothing really special on that place except for my relatives and of course... it's the heart of country music and I wanna experience that woohoo yeehaw.. might wear a cowboy suit too LOL
