Madrid-Spain

Come with me to Spain one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe.  If you're looking for a vacation spot that has just about everything, Spain is the spot.  It's very popular due to it's beautiful beaches, fabulous nightlife, amazing food, culture & festivities.  Spain is well know for it's traditional architecture, cathedrals, fortresses & mosques.  The country has changed over the years and is now known also for it's cutting edge architecture.
There are many airports in Spain especially Madrid International Airport which is the 4th busiest airport in Europe.  It serves as the main gateway to all of the major cities on the iberian peninsula.  One of the best ways to travel while you're in Spain is by train.  Visit http://horarios.renfe.es/hir/ingles.html to find out about the train system, check schedules & fares.  Spain today has one of the most modern trains in Europe.  You can also rent a car however, this could take you longer given you would need to find your way around.  Traveling by bus is a fast way to travel as well & you would be able to see the beautiful countryside.  To check bus schedules and fares, visit http://www.movelia.es/ which will give you all the information you need. 
As you prepare for your trip you'll also need to book accomodations while you're in Spain.  If you book your hotel online it's the most cost-effective way to do it.  Make sure that you check many sites to assure you're getting the best deal.  You can do your research, compare rates and get the best deal by using the link under hotels on this blog.  While you're in Madrid you must visit the Chapel of Bones!  It is unbelievable, the walls, ceiling just everywhere you look there are real skulls & bones.  Come visit tomorrow and let's check out Paris.  Please write your comments and subscribe to Travel Alley where your dream destination can become a reality. 

What's Going On?

What's going on in the good ole USA?  The unemployment rate is at an all time high, people are losing their homes and the cost of living is increasing everyday!  It makes me furious when I call one of my creditors to discuss my account and I find the representative on the other end of the phone is difficult to understand.  Why because the companies are outsourcing the jobs they have available to other countries.  I think companies that do this to save a dollar should be fined.  They should be giving jobs to US citizens that are out of work and well qualified.  Banks were given large sums of money to fund programs to help consumers save their home and they do nothing but put the consumer through so many hoops that only about a 1/3 of the people that apply for help actually get it.  Are you mad, I am!  Tell me what gets you mad.
