Mantra on little Bourke is on the corner of CDB so just a short walk to the shopping areas and also close to Hardware Lane which has some really nice restaurants with live music so it is a great way to spend the evening in Melbourne. The rooms in the hotel are large and very clean. We rented a suite which had a kitchen and a living room which made it feel like our own little apartment in Melbourne. There was also a flat screen tv in the bedroom and living room. It was amazing to have such a large hotel room for the price we paid. We stayed in Melbourne for a month because I had some business meetings and we wanted to have a vacation also. We had a lot of fun in Melbourne and hope to go back again and maybe spend 2 months there because there is so much to do!

The Most Beautiful Place In The World!!
08.12
We went to Sydney because we wanted to see the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Gardens are located on the shores of Sydney Harbour so we decided we need to search for Sydney hotels that were near the Gardens. We were happy to find that not only was our Hotel close to the gardens but it was also right on the beach. We discovered that the Gardens offer a free tour at 10:30 in the morning and even thought we didn’t get into Sydney until about 1 in the morning we were up and ready for the tour! The tour lasted about 90 minutes but it is a great way to learn about the plants and animals that call the Royal Botanic Gardens home. I must admit that this is one tour that I could take over and over again. It will be put at the top of my list for the next time I visit Sydney.
Great Vegas Trip

Ok, people tell me I’m crazy to vacation inVegas right in the middle of July, but it was a blast. I could feel it though in the middle of the day with temperatures hovering in the 110 degree mark. But I was hapy with the great deal I found online where I got to stay in a hotel right in the middle of the strip for only 20 bucks a night. That made the temperature a little more bearable.
I did so much stuff, I could stay there a year and still have thousands of things to still do. I rode roller coasters at New York New York casino, bought some mens belts at the Fashion Show mall, laid out at the hotel pool while sipping on a daiquiri, and caught a show.
I won a few hundred bucks on playing video poker too. I used that to buy souvenirs for my family and friends back home.
I recommend Vegas in July, even though the heat is into the 100’s, because of the specials all the casino and hotels are promoting.
