Sailing Christopher Cross

Sailing by Christopher Cross was always one of my favorite songs. There are numerous videos of the song, but this one is my favorite as they included the lyrics, which makes it easy to sing along if you forgot them.

Sit back and relax as you take a fantasy sailing adventure to forget your daily responsibilities. It's like a free mini vacation on the water to allow your senses to drift away briefly. Bon voyage!

Sailing in Sydney, Australia

Coogee Beach, one of Australia's most beautiful beaches would make a wonderful place to go sailing. Located in Sydney, Australia Coogee Beach is a perfect place to stay to enjoy the surf.

There are of course plenty of hotels in Sydney, but if you want to stay at Coogee Beach, you may wish to consider the Coogee Sands Hotel and apartments right on the beach! That's located at one of Australia's prime surfing beaches so you would have plenty to enjoy there while you're not sailing.

If that place is too expensive for your budget there are of course some cheap hotels to fit into any budget. When you're done sailing for the day you'll be close to plenty of restaurants and the night life to have fun in Sydney. Have fun if you plan to enjoy a sailing trip at Coogee Beach!

Pirate Costumes, Fashion and Attire

Well me friends, it's time to talk about pirate costumes now that Halloween is approaching. For some, wearing costumes is not about a specific day of the year, but a way of life. Yes, strange as it may seem I understand there are some who dress up for -- well, no occasion at all!

Some things to think about for your pirate costume might require locating a good beard, mustache, pirate hair style, belt, eye patches, or how about a parrot to wear on your shoulder? Arrr! Of course the list does not stop there. You may wish to host a pirate theme party too!

Those are many accessories to consider for a pirate costume, but don't forget the pirate tricorn hat! You may also want to sport a pirate treasure trunk, box, or treasure loot bag to carry with you. Either way, with a pirate costume you'll be prepared year-round to have fun. Just don't forget to buy a stuffed parrot, unless you can sport a real one on your shoulder. Arr! Have fun!

North Carolina Sailing, Free Raleigh, NC Getaway

Fall is here with all it's glory displayed in bright crimson reds of the maple trees. There are plenty of fall festivals across the country to enjoy, but what I love are the colors of the deciduous trees reflecting in water.

North Carolina has beautiful fall colors to enjoy and Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina is not far from numerous sailing destinations, so it could make a great vacation spot. If you're planning a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina you just may have a shot at winning some free accommodations! Mamma Mia! You certainly would not complain if you were to register and win some free tickets and hotel room to relax around Raleigh.

You could access sailing from the Triangle Lakes area or head further out to the coast to go sailing there. If you're into bird watching, fall is also the time to catch the hawks flying south too. As I sit here knowing our temperatures outside are in the mid 50's where I'm located, yet in the 80's this week in Raleigh it sounds like a nice warm place for an adventure. With over five lakes to access in Raleigh it would be a great way to cool off on a hot day.

One reason I'm writing about this registration for a possible freebie, is because a trip to Raleigh just might be what I'll be doing in the near future due to a business opportunity, but it could also serve as a great fall getaway too!

Here's another fun thing to check out if you go there. With the registration for the getaway, if you win you would also receive 2 tickets to the dinosaurs and ancient fossils, discoveries at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences. That sounds like a fun event to me in addition to traveling the shores of their lakes. From bird watching to checking out dinosaur fossils and sailing, it could be a fun trip for your family.
