Leave a reply

I always think that accommodation eats into our travel budget and I know that I am not the only one who thinks so. Just now, I received the news that The New Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg / Treasure Island Beach is running a special offer with their reopening after a luxurious makeover.

If you remember, Residence Inn, which was previously known as Holiday Inn Treasure Island, was closed for more than two years after being damaged by hurricane. Well, it looks like they took the opportunity to get a complete makeover. Just look at these photos!

The special deal that I mentioned above is that you can get a one bedroom suite for only $199 but this offer is only valid until 31st March, 2008. The normal rate is $389 so if you plan to head that way anytime soon, you have to act fast!

GOLD COAST RESORT RE-OPENS AFTER MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MAKEOVER

Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg / Treasure Island Beach Unveiled All-New Look

February 1st 2008
TREASURE ISLAND, FLORIDA: After being closed for 28 months from hurricane damage, the former Holiday Inn Treasure Island has re-opened as the brand new and expanded Residence Inn St. Petersburg / Treasure Island Beach, with a completely new look.

The gulf front hotel was shut down in 2004 after Hurricane Jeanne and was essentially stripped to its shell to make way for this transformation. The multi-million dollar renovation included the entire property from its guestrooms and suites to its public space and pool areas. “We are thrilled to re-open as the Residence Inn by Marriott and unveil this great new product for travelers to the Gold Coast and Treasure Island,” said Rick Wilson, general manager of the hotel.

“The enhancements to the hotel are outstanding, from a phenomenal room package including luxury bedding, fully equipped kitchens, separate working, living, sleeping areas and flat panel televisions to a great beachfront pool area. We look forward to welcoming back past guests and an all new set of customers to our wonderful beachfront hotel.”

In addition to the aforementioned enhancements, the hotel also added luxury, one and two bedroom suites with dramatic 11 foot ceilings and sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. The relaxed beachfront town of Treasure Island adjacent to both St. Petersburg Beach to it’s south and Madeira Beach to it’s north harkens back to the days of Old Florida — quaint shops, uncrowded beaches and always a friendly hello.

Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast adjacent to world famous John’s Pass, the Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg / Treasure Island Beach is situated oceanfront on Treasure Island — the Sunset Capital of the Florida. The nine-story hotel offers 110 rooms and suites with a range of amenities and services including free high speed internet, grocery shopping service and laundry valet.

The property is convenient to all the area attractions including professional sporting events, eco-adventures, championship golf and acclaimed fishing and water sports.

Some people do not know the kick we get from shopping online. Well, part of it is the hunt for coupons and part of t is when we manage to “game” online merchants by being able to buy the same thing at a lower price. Hahah! I know some people do not “get it” what I am saying but if you have tried it and see how much you have saved, then I am sure the feeling is exhilarating and you would want to do it again!

Shogging.com, a site that I have written on before and personally frequent regularly, is a great place to start your comparison shopping. Check out their page on collections etc where you get to view, compare and BUY some of the latest products from this great gift site. Collections Etc. carries many great products that would make special and unique gifts and it will actually solve your problem of thinking up what to buy for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year!

Discount Custom Wheels & Rims

Leave a reply

Cars can be an expensive affair, more so if you are into modification and tuning. A friend spends the better part of his pay check on his car every month. That’s why it is so important to look for discount items.

Here at WheelFire, you are able to get your hands on discount wheels and rims for your car or SUV. There is also a wide selection for trucks. Each custom wheel rims and tires package that you purchase will come with free mounting and balancing, free shipping within Continental USA and one year warranty.

At a glance, WheelFire can save you anything from $100 to a hefty $600 per custom wheel and rim package. One of the $600 discount packages is for Ruff racing rims. That’s a monster discount if you ask me!

Although WheelFire is packed with many different products, by using the powerful search engine at the site, you will be able to filter out your desired tires by selecting tire width, profile and diameter and you can shop for wheels by brands.

Play Trivia Games Online For Cash

Leave a reply


If you have been following my blogs, you would know that I play a lot of online games but those point and shoot games could only challenge my mind that much! A friend started me on playing trivia and quizzes and I can say that they are totally addictive. So far, I have tried quite a few trivia sites but most of them only give me virtual points that are practically worthless.

Just now, I was introduced to a website called Trivia On Net which you could check out at http://www.triviaonnet.com. Now, playing trivia games here is a hundred times more challenging because you would be playing for money with $10,000 in cash prizes up for grabs every day.

I think that anyone could have a fair shot at the cash prizes because there are so many different trivia rooms here, including entertainment, music, sports and popular TV trivia, to cater to a wide section of people no matter where their interest lie.

By registering with them, you will receive a $2 sign up bonus instantly and on your first deposit, you will be credited with a 50% bonus on your deposit up to a maximum of $500. That is a lot of money and if you want to try winning some cash, this is a good chance to sign up and fund that account. You can also play for free and sharpen your mind before you play for real money!

Expand Your Social Circle With Voice Chat

Leave a reply

Some of you may know me as a chronic online chatter. Well, I think it’s a fun way to pass some time and get to know more people and expand my social circle. I have even met some of the people I got to know online and I find that behind the screen, every one is just the same.

The thing that I haven’t tried before is phone chat. Of course, I do exchange phone numbers with the people I met online but any call is bill separately. Besides, I have to make sure that these people can be trusted first before I divulge my personal phone number.

Talk121 is an excellent place for people to indulge in phone chat without extra expenses or share too much personal information. It provides free Chat Lines throughout the United States for free live local area phone chat.

While voice chatting is way more exciting than text chat, to have a middle ground like Talk121 is great as it protects our real identity and information until we are comfortable to share them with another member. Talk121 is a subscription based service but they are currently offering a free trial for a limited time. If you think that you need to be online all the time to enjoy the service, for your information, you can also leave a recorded voice message on the Talk121 system and other members can hear you even though you are offline.

Here is your chance to try out the service for free and test out the system and see if voice chatting to make friends is your cup of tea.

Check Out This Portable DVD Player

Leave a reply

Of all the fancy digital gadgets that flood the market, I am most fascinated with the digital frame. I am not sure if you have heard of the digital frame but if you have not, where have you been? Obviously not reading my blogs! 😀

One of the leading online stores that carry digital frames is DigitalFramez.com. As a regular visitor to the store, I am delighted to note that they have a new product, the portable DVD player.

Now, once again I am marvel at technology. Previously, I thought that the only way I could watch my DVDs on the go is via my laptop but with a portable DVD player, I can now conserve my laptop batteries for work instead of entertainment.

Some people may say that a portable 10 inch DVD player is too small to enjoy a movie but these portable DVD players are Divx capable, comes with batteries that provide 4 hours of continuous play time and able to play DVDs, CDs and just about any media file that we render on our computer. I think this is a very practical item to have for many families especially those with young children and those who travel a lot.

Currently Digital Framez is selling the portable 10 inch DVD player at $239.00 only a discount from the retail price of $319. As Christmas is just round the corner, I think this would make a great gift for me. 😀
