2020 look-ahead

As I have just completed my 2019 review, I am realizing how far behind I am in my collecting of memories of my travels last year, so this year I will really try to speed up the posting.

The Shells Spa and Resort, Phu Quoc

Although I have been able to complete some of the posts I was planning to, I see that the job ahead of me is quite tremendous, as I am just starting to realize how much time it takes to just make one post. Good thing is that I don’t have a lot of travels planned in the coming month, so I should have some time to try to get up to speed…

Review: The Parisian Hotel, Macau

As I wrote about in my 1 night in Macau post a few weeks back, I have joined and earned quite a lot of points with Sands Rewards, and this has given me the possibility of free stays with the Sands Group in Macau. I therefore grabbed the chance for the free stay, and called the reservation hotline as soon as I was back from Macau, and asked for a night stay at the Venetian hotel. Unfortunately that was not available, but they offered me a choice between The Parisian of the Sheraon instead, and I then choose The Parisian, as it looks really impressive from the outside.

Stopover in Doha with Oryx Rotana review

Oryx Rotana Doha, Qatar.

Qatar Airways offers a free stop-over with accommodation in Doha if your shortest connection time between flights is 8 hours or more. Our flight from Clark was supposed to arrive at 23:35 local time, and our flight to Stockholm the next morning was at 07:35, so I contacted Qatar Airways on Facebook Messenger and asked if they were offering us a free stop-over in Doha (I messaged them on the 6th of May.)

Introduction -36 hours in Phu Quoc, Vietnam

My bungalow for the stay in Phu Quoc

One place that has been high on my list of places to go has been Phu Quoc, Vietnam, ever since the first time I saw a VietJet flying in from there to Hong Kong. I consider myself fairly well traveled in Southeast Asia, but I had never heard about this island before, so I quickly had to google it and the more I read the more interested I got in going there.

Hotel Review – Holiday inn Cotai, Macau

When I was in Macau previously I signed up for the Sands Rewards, and about a month ago I received a text message saying “Oct FREE room offers: Stay in Macau Cotai Strip Holiday Inn 1 night in Weekday. First come first served. T&C Applies” followed by a phone number to call. I called directly and asked for a room on one of my days off in October, and was asked if I wanted a single bed or two beds. I asked for a single bed, and was advised there was none available, but 2 beds was, which I then asked to book. I was then told the booking was confirmed, and the call was terminated. I did find it a bit strange that I did not get any confirmation number, no text and no email with the reservation, so was a bit worried if I actually had a room or not.
