Taking at look at Hotels select


I have the chance to review Hotels select.


This is a really interesting travel club.  You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.  I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.  I have been spending days looking at what they offer.  So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.  For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.  Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.  And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.  That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.  The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.  If you rent cars you will also find it worth the 200 dollar fee.  I already booked one rental car and saved about 40 dollars off the price.  And I actually plan to go to Orlando next year.  So I am sure I will save hundreds of dollars more.  I was not that impressed by the event and restaurant portion of smaller cities. My family lives in Corvallis Oregon for example. There were not many offers there.  Every major movie theater up to 65% off.  So you can at least go to see movies in Corvallis for less.  If you are an off the beaten path kind of person, this is not for you.   

 

I looked at events in locations like Paris.  They had some very cool offers I did not know about.  For example, you can take a 4-hour tour around Paris with a private driver for only 110 euro and Skip-the-Line Eiffel Tower and take a Seine River Cruise for 40 euro.  So if you only have one day in Paris you can really see a lot for a small fee.  I’m not someone who likes cruise but I checked prices for a 3 day Bahamas cruise. 

 A 3-day cruise to the Bahamas on carnival with an ocean view is $279.  That is departing from Miami.  So if I do go to Orlando next year, who knows…maybe a 3-day cruise would be worth looking into?  And if you take trips to major travel destinations it is definitely worth looking into https://www.hotelsetc.com/ .

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what
