The world we live in is changing very rapidly. With terror looming over us we try to push these things out of our minds. What better way to do this than take a vacation? Traveling always gives us a sense of freedom and, often times, joyful occasions. But with the rising cost of fuel and added security measures flying becomes more and more expensive.
Do we just sit home and read the paper or do we mortgage the house and go jaunting off to Hawaii just to camp on the beach because we spent all the trip money to get there? Of course not! There is a solution to this travel woe.

Singapore Tourism - A personal experience Over the last few decades, Singapore has become one of the most popular tourist destinations of Asia. I visited Singapore in 2006 on my way back from India. It turned out to be of one of the most memorable vacations that I have ever had. Unlike most of the other Asian countries Singapore is very well organised and has an excellent transportation system. There is so much to do in this small country that i wish i was able to spend some more time there. We got our booking done from singapore airlines itself which gave us a good deal on the hotel, we stayed on the Orchard Road which is one of the main attractions of the country. Most of the high end shops, bars and resturaunts are on the Orchard road itself and the nightlife is very good. We didn’t do anything much on the first day since we reached the hotel by the evening.

I just spent 15 blissful days on a Hawaiian cruise. I chose this particular cruise because it was hosted by Abraham-Hicks my favorite Law of Attraction teachers.
Abraham-Hicks is a hyphenated name because it represents two different partners. One partner is Esther Hicks (and Jerry Hicks her husband). Esther is a very sweet Texan woman (originally from Utah I believe), who is a ‘channel’. This means that she is able to use her senses to pick up and receive information from a non-physical intelligence. The non- physical intelligence is ‘Abraham’, a group of teachers who form the other side of this very unique partnership – which has been in existence for the last 20 years or so.
