Growing up we moved to Germany for 4 years as I was an Air Force brat. Was nice having that experience overseas but awfully frigid as it was cold just about all the time. I do remember though that Halloween on base was something special as each of our apartment buildings would make up the most scariest scene we could think of and in our building I remember one of the people dressed up as a mummy and was in a coffin to scare the kids when they came in to get the candy. We had one of those winding stairwell cases so it was in the foray and made the perfect setting.

Wouldn’t it be great to visit some place overseas like Australia, which I have yet to visit, to see how they celebrate holidays? Imagine having no snow on Christmas though and wearing shorts and a t-shirt because they have summer for our winter. I remember a few times here where we were running around in shorts and a t-shirt because it was warm enough.

I just wish I had enough money right now to use the super bargains that Accor has going on right now because I surely have the time with a total of 22 days off before the end of the year. Accor Hotels 3-Day Super Sale Asia Pacific is going on and this can be used in places such as Australia, India, New Zealand, Fiji, and Bali just to name a few. Over one million room nights will be on sale, with rates starting as low as $30 per night with a stay period Dec 09 till Apr 10. You would need to book on-line between October 27-30th to get this discount. Since we just lost our AirTran option airline prices have already started going up and I’m sure by the time I would need to get the airfare I’d have a hotel room in a great place but no way to get there.
