4320 LA

July 25, 2009 by DaveLeave a Comment

Virgin Australia has planned a quirky, crazy new promotional concept involving three winners from Sydney, Australia travelling to Los Angeles, staying three days (or 4,320 minutes) and Tweeting about their experience the entire time! Will the team be able to make the required 4,320 Tweets necessary to complete their task? You and two of your friends to fly from L.A to Sydney for three days and Tweet about it for 4,320 minutes. The second … [Read more...]

My Couch Surfing

July 21, 2008 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

Couch Surfing!! What a weird term - The first time I heard of it I thought it was some sort of illegal activity. It turned out to be a club where you could offer free accommodation in your humble abode to the complete strangers who happen to visit your hometown, and you could get the same in return by requesting free stay whenever you are traveling abroad. Also it offers an opportunity for you to practice your courtesy as well as hospitality to … [Read more...]

The City of Arts and Sciences

June 8, 2007 by Alex WelshLeave a Comment

So the new list of today's Wonders of the World is about to come out. I found it bizarre that the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia wasn't one of the contenders. Machu Picchu, Petra, Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, all undoubtedly wonders of the world, but how about thinking a little outside of the box? Does a Wonder have to be ancient? This contest is an exciting project amongst the now enormous travelling community on the planet, but it does … [Read more...]

See all of Sydney but Stay in Style

February 5, 2006 by Robert HallLeave a Comment

This article is copyrighted by www.hotelssydney.com But if you plan on staying in style in the city voted for six consecutive years "the best city in the world to visit," consider some of the following accommodations instead. Only twenty minutes from the airport, the Sir Stamford Circular Quay hotel may be small, but the quality will both delight and astound. The classic luxury of the general areas is reminiscent of a private club … [Read more...]

Sydney at a Glance

February 5, 2006 by Al Seymour SightsLeave a Comment

"What a view!" The flight attendants were gasping out loud as they peered out the window. All of us passengers who were within earshot of their enthusiastic review took a look out the window and couldn't find a single reason to disagree with their breathless endorsement. Down there, the coastline of Sydney, Australia, was basking in the glow of the morning sun. It was now 14 hours after we had taken off out of San Francisco, CA and were now … [Read more...]

Sydney Beaches, Fun in the Sun

February 5, 2006 by Peter WatsonLeave a Comment

Whether you're up for a Crocodile Dundee adventure or you'd just like a taste of the Australian sun, the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more. Being in the southern hemisphere, Australia's seasons are reversed from those in Europe, North American, and much of Asia, so if you're looking for good beach weather, make sure to travel some time from September to May - that is, spring to autumn. The Sydney shoreline encompasses … [Read more...]
