5 Star Hotel Vs AirBNB

On what do I choose? I was recently asked this question? My reply, what is important to you? How intimate do you want to get with the location your staying in. 

There are several things to be aware of when traveling.

1. Know where you are traveling to and why?
2. When you know what you want to see stick to your itenary. Although locals may tempt you to walk off and do your own thing, not travel agencies do not recommend this for safety reasons.
3. Do your homework , or research. Know what cities State, countries your visiting and for what reasons. Check their visitors website for things to visit.

Now what is the difference between a five star hotel and an air BNB.
Ask yourself; Do you like to float or be on solid ground? It's a lifestyle choice. Are you adventurous or not? Are you about meeting people or not? High risk taker or low risk taker?

1. Most likely an air BNB is a owned and operated by the people who own the property. They may allow you to use their kitchen and grounds, they may not. Sometimes it is part of the house like a bedroom you rent out.
2. Hotels 5 star hotels have their grounds well out mapped out. They usually have security on the property. The rooms are designed for the purpose of renting for a night or two or more.
3. The airBNB might have been a residential estate and the owners decided to rent the rooms out when they need money.
4. 5 Star Hotels have specific amenities. They provide a professional concierge who can help you with any or all travel arrangements. They know people who will help the days travel made easy, comfortable and safe.

Whatever, one chooses the goal is always to travel and return safely. Be sure to check with a reputable travel agency. There is now a magazine named Airbnb for those that prefer this way of travel. It's pretty interesting read and for this writer. I believe it's a lifestyle choice you'll have to make.

How I make my Money!

Hi there,

I often get asked how image my money. What money I ask?  I am trying to re-enter after working for a hotel and receiving the betting of a lifetime. Long hours low pay, constant demands and complaints of guest. What do you mean you might ask.. I discovered that the meeting and event planning industry and the hotel industry haven't opposing viewpoints on meetings, events and wedding. It helped me in redefining my business.

MK Pure Diamond Events plans more towards marketing and PR then it does the hospitality industry. The hotel industry leans towards more of the hospitality industry and not so much on the Marketing and PR of the meeting, wedding, event. While I was working there all these different times and hours I rediscovered the enjoyment I feel when I write a blog that not only brings information. Customer empowerment. What is a good product what isn't.

I'm taking it to the next level and becoming a professional blogger. Blogdash is one of the company's I have chosen to help take me there. If your a blogger interested in receiving paid employment opportunities click.

Luggage and Travel 2017

Hi there;

What a great exciting world it is. Many things to see experience and become a part of.  The first thing you want to do is travel. To where and how much will it cost? Budget planning is part of travel and although many things come easy if it's your first business trip you might not find it all that easy.

Passport

Let's talk a little about what practical things done today will help you in the future.

1. Make sure you have all the physical requirements for the trip. What shots do you need to take before you travel as a preventative measure.

2. Make sure your passport is up to date. Address and contact info current.

3. Make sure you have emergency numbers. If traveling out of the country the embassy or whomever can help you in an emergency. There might be apps that can help. I also like to have these numbers written on a piece of paper, planner agenda just in case battery failure.

4. There are some countries that seem foreign like Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. you don't need a passport for. The land is territory of the United States of America and therefore guarantee safe travel. Some of these places are still trying to become state. It's interesting read in the history books how long some of them have been fighting to become an independent state. What is required to become the 51 state of the United States of America.

5. Have a separate cash fund for travel. Before you get the company credit card make sure you have a personal credit card and cash sach just for travel. This makes turning in those reimbursement receipts so much easier. I know there are apps that will email straight to the office, however companies still require paper receipt for taxes.

6. Try to resist social drinking. Say no to alcohol while on business travel. The reason is it impairs judgements. When this happens it is giving the advantages to the other business. It is acceptable to have an elegant glass of wine with dinner. I'm not sure about you, if I have to travel for business I'm there to win the contract so I can make money for my business, therefore I want to be able to think. When in doubt order what the highest executive is drinking. If you don't drink alcohol just say so.


Luggage:

Traveling is lots of fun when one is prepared. I have traveled and through experience discovered that anything I forget can be purchased. I have also realized that when at all possible a carry on beats baggage check in. The truth is we all purchase things. Cloths, shoes, photographs, paintings, and just sovinars. Therefore, if you have too you can check in an empty luggage or purchase one on traveling and check in your luggage on return fight. Travel Light.  Samsonite

1.  Keep it light weight please. Don't take full sizes of products you use at home.

2. Did you know you can pack a weeks worth of cloths in a carry on. I've done it. Plus makeup,  shoes accessories plus a formal for an event I had to attended. Remember you can always have you cloths pressed while your there. I just called the minute I got in the room and unpacked to have my formal dress pressed. For a few dollars I saved a whole lot of time. This also works for business suits.

What is the Best Luggage?

Luggage is a personal choice. You can visit Google.com for the top sellers in luggage. They vary from Walmart $25.00 to hundreds of dollars. Here are some things to think about.

1. Hard Body or Soft Body?
 What is it really that you need? Do you need it to carry your computer and all your business equipment or just your clothing? Nautica
3. Do you want luggage you can identify where ever you travel? It just is all about who you are and what your doing? This little luggage let's you know when you've arrived. Izak

These are just a few of my favorite pics for very good luggage. Please read the disclaimer at the contact page of this blog.

Take Out Your Summer Umbrellas For The Hot Summer Travel

Hi there, Reader:

Wow, what a surprise when I was driving around town in my cute little 500s Fiat and discovered that along with the weather, gasoline prices has gone up. I'd say almost .50 cents. At that point I was so glad I wasn't driving something like a Dodge Truck or a Jeep....who whats to pay that much for gasoline. I figured my cute little sports car with it's 35 miles per gallon has served me well, in other summer month.  At 35 miles a gallon on average fwy driving one tank of gasoline last me approximate 3500 miles where as the Dodge that is bigger tank than mine has an average still only last from the research I have done 1500 miles on one tank of gasoline. What about the Jeep you asked. I looked at that as well. However, Jeep on the other hand was more difficult to find the information. It was like Jeep was hiding it. I found how many miles the car last on average 200,000, I could find a forum that was talking about the gas mileage.


Either way I am very happy with my little sports car. I purchased it at Bob Baker Fiat   

I did check out what others have to say like Gas Buddy, an app I recommend to my clients when traveling by car. Along with AAA which is always sound travel advice. Gas Buddy is telling it's followers that gasoline prices will be the highest they have been in three years.  Whereas, AAA say they will be the lowest they have been for summer travel in 2017. These things are always above my head, so therefore what I like to tell  MK Pure Diamond Events is that I recommend both of these apps. AAA app is excellent for maps and finding gas station on the road. Where as Gas Buddy is good when you just need a quick look to find the nearest gas station. Overall, I see one as short distant travel and the other as long distant travel. Both good apps.

My intention for this blog was not to recommend the products and services mention more to educate you on the options and to encourage you to plan extra money for your travel this summer. When the weather is warm we all want to do things and San Diegans always love the active lifestyle, therefore this summer you have to stop and think about the cost of gasoline, it just might fluctuate in pricing.

Looks like the the Umbrella is  up for travelers this summer. It's going to be warm and local tourist attractions are in. I hope your read my blogpsot 2017 Visit San Diego to discover new places to visit or old ones that we love. How corny is that. You know what I mean. There are places that our favorites and we visit over and over again. One of my favorite is the local beaches. Leave a message and let me know what one of yours is. Also please let me know of anything else you would like to learn about.

They are businesses myself or my business have had personal interaction with. I recommend them based on how they have responded to myself as a client/customer and based on the people I have recommended to them..
