Travel Deals, News & Tips : Grab2Travel.com



REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo


OUR RECOMMENDATION: NO


AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Travel Deals, News & Tips : Grab2Travel.com


WEB ADDRESS: www.grab2travel.com/blog


BLOG'S DESCRIPTION: Travel blog on vacation packages, destination guide, travel advice & travel news to make reader's vacation experience easy.


OUR REVIEW:  It’s difficult to decide whether or not to say Yes or No to this blog. For one thing, it’s the type of blog that is a referral site – in order to get the deals they offer (and you’ll see a sample of those in the 5 latest entries list below) you’ve got to click on the links to go to a new webpage to make your booking. The entries don’t give you any information about the travel spot in question, just the deals that are on offer.



THE GOOD: It does alert you to savings that are available.


THE BAD: Over all, I think I will say NO. This is the kind of blog – any blog that calls your attention to Travel Deals – that you really need to visit its home on the web to use properly.

Lifestyles : Miami


REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MYRECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Lifestyles : Miami

WEB ADDRESS: lifestylesmiami.blogspot.com

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Have you ever wondered how people in Miami have so much money and live such extravagant lifestyles, while the rest of the country struggles?

Miami, for many reasons, doesn't seem to get hit as hard during the recessions The United States periodically endures. Want to know why?

The Real Estate Market is stronger, Jobs are plentiful, and Money seems to flow like rivers in this beautiful and cultural city... Want to know why?

There is no "1" reason. But we know the secrets.

There is lots of information on Real Estate, Educational Institutes, Lifestyles of The Wealthy, Culture, History, Landmarks, Notable People, Parks and Recreation and How You Can Afford to live like the wealthy even on a modest income.

Lifetsyles : Miami walks you through the lifestyles of the many wealthy and super-wealthy people who live in Miami and explains how this flourishing city remains one of the most desirable places to live, despite it's sordid history.


OUR REVIEW: Another blog written by people who actually live and work in the city about which they are writing, I also recommend this blog highly for anyone who wants to visit Miami in the future or who is thinking of living there. You get a real sense of the city and the people from these well written and informative blog entries, not to mention learn a lot of history!

Hawaii Vacation Blog


REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION PAGE: Hawaii Vacation Blog

WEB ADDRESS: www.blogcatalog.com/blog/explore-hawaii

BLOG DESCRIPTION: An adventure blog to guide you to all the hotspots on the islands of Hawaii. Hop onboard and follow the tracks of the Trailblazer Travel Book authors.

OUR REVIEW: Ah, how I’d love to be in Hawaii right now. It’s not in the cards however, so the Hawaii Vacation Blog is a nice substitute. It’s written by people who actually live in and have traveled throughout all the Hawaiian islands. (Just as a point of interest, the Big Island of Hawaii is not actually the one people think about when they think of Hawaii, that’d be Oahu, on which is located Honolulu. Just in case you don't know that!)
