It’s that time of year again when we all start thinking about our New Year resolutions. One of my resolutions this year is to take DH and the babes away for a “mini holiday”.

I haven’t been to Melbourne since I was a kid and I have always wanted to go back there, especially since a couple of online buddies keep posting their photos from their Max Brenner visits!

So I came across a site that lists cheap hotels by city. You just click on the city that you are interested in visiting, and you can read all about the city, where to go, what to do, and the best places to stay! The website also has a blog where you can read about events happening in the city of your choice. I just noticed that there’s a Melbourne Cemetery Tour. DH would LOVE that!

And I just noticed that I can check Melbourne’s weather right from the site as well, giving me a five day forecast so I know what to expect on my trip. Looking at that forecast, I wish we were going this week. The weather down there is perfect!

I enjoy a website that allows you to add your opinion. Hotelsbycity.net allows to submit your comments if you live in a city listed on their site. You can let people know what you think are the must-see places to go, the best places to stay and the best places to eat.

With all that information at my fingertips, planning and booking our trip to Melbourne will be simple!
