So, F1 is ramping up and there are tons of races to attend all over the world. China, Malaysia, Spain, Monaco, India, Abu Dhabi, the US—you could really spend a lot of dough getting to any one of these, much less all of them. Naturally there are tickets that have to be bought and other incidentals, but the logistics of traveling abroad and seeing races like these are a little more involved than one may think at first.

The first step is actually seeing which race you want to attend. F1 is a worldwide series, and because of the prohibitively expensive nature of international travel for most people, it’s likely that you will only be going to see one race. If you can afford to see more than that, then power to you, you probably don’t need this guide!

Once you know where you want to go there is the matter of buying tickets for the event. They can be expensive, and a lot of the more popular venues go fast, so it’s important to buy as early as possible. Prices vary based on how popular various events are. Monaco, for example, is a part of the Triple Crown, and tends to be more expensive than the Circuit of the Americas. From there it’s finding airfare and accommodations.

Flying to different countries, especially across an ocean or two, costs a lot, so it’s important to shop around. Airfare to Europe from the US is usually around $1,000 round trip per person, though you can get to East Asia for less. The pricing is great if you don’t care to see Le Mans, but do want to visit the Suzuka Circuit.

Accommodations are a great way to take an expensive trip and make it cost even more. This is definitely something which’s price depends entirely on location; the Circuit of the Americas is in Texas, which isn’t exactly known for tremendous property prices, meaning that you won’t break the bank for a decent to nice hotel. However, staying overnight at Monaco, especially in a room that overlooks the track, can cost a princely sum.

Traveling to see Grand Prix events is definitely the experience of a lifetime, but it is something that requires a lot of planning and a little means to do right. Whether you’re going to Texas, France, Brazil, or Japan, the excitement is palpable, and the party is fantastic. With a little shopping around and foresight, you can visit the race of your dreams and save a little money without sacrificing comfort or good seats.

For those of you who cannot make it here is a video of the some of the highlights from the 2013 Malaysia race.

Mallorca is one of the Balearic Islands of the south west coast of Spain.  It is a major tourist destination, especially for tourists from northern Europe who are seeking the sun and some warm weather.

Mallorca’s weather is strongly influenced by the warm seas of the Mediterranean which surround the island and has warm, dry summers along with cooler winters.   This is known as the dry summer subtropical climate.  Much of the island has consistent weather although the mountainous regions can have different weather from the rest of the island.

The island has over 300 days of sunshine per year and this is perhaps the main reason for its popularity with visitors.  Summer usually starts around the end of May and lasts until the beginning of October.  July and August are usually the hottest months and this is the time when most tourists are on the island.

During the winter months of November through April the weather is more variable with cold periods as well as increased rainfall.  However there is often sunny days during this time – which increase until summer hits again.  Tourists arrive again to visit and the tourist industry kicks in again with restaurants, bars and five star hotels Mallorca ready for the increase in visitors.

The Hotel Del Coronado is a famous resort located on the edge of the beach on the island of Coronado close to down town San Diego. The hotel is one of America’s most famous hotels with quite a bit of history attached to it and dates back to 1888. The hotel has a distinctly Victorian feel about it – although in many ways it is also has a contemporary and modern feel about it.

The resort defiantly has a romantic feel about it and during my visit to the resort I witnessed umpteen weddings. This is also the place for family vacations – with lots of things to do including special programs for children and teens. Examples include surfing lessons, smores parties and tie dying parties.

As it is a large resort in a wonderful location the hotel is popular with business meetings and seminars. It has over 65,000 feet of meeting and exhibition space.

The Hotel Del Coronado is a truly a classic American experience!

A class action lawsuit involves an action involving one or more plaintiffs.  These plaintiffs who are named in the complaint, as well as their counsels take up a case for themselves and the class against one or more defendants.

I love going to live theater. Its so much more exciting than a movie for me. I love the costumes, the stage sets and most of all seeing real actors in the flesh getting to grips with a role.

What do I look for when buying theater tickets? Well I either look for established shows such as Lion King tickets or entertaining spectacles like the Blue Man Group tickets.

For a really special evening I recommend going out for a nice meal before heading to the theater. Then heading to the theater bar for a drink before the show. And after the show going for coffee or a nightcap to round off the perfect evening!
