For those hard core fans anywhere in the vicinity of Manchester Evening News Arena next year on 23rd and 24th January, be informed that the group Spice Girls will return with their 10 hits including ‘Wannabe’, ‘Goodbye’, ‘Viva Forever’, ‘Too Much’ & Spice Up Your Life. Do check out the available tickets ready on sale starting from 26th October this year. And while you are planning to go for the show, make sure you have think ahead about accommodation for the night. There are a number of Manchester hotels nearby the MEN Arena.

I read from the Internet that the MEN Arena is on the edge of the city centre, next to Victoria Station. So with trams running to Victoria Station (Bury line), you can virtually stay anywhere on the tram route.

Or if you are in London after Christmas and plan to stay longer for holiday, check out the best deal for accommodation in London.

Get the London Pass as it offers free entry to over 55 attractions in and around London. The attractions include The Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, London Aquarium, London Zoo and Windsor Castle.

While getting comfortable with London accommodation proves to be no problem, restraining your kids from the largest toyshop in the world could be a nuisance. Hamleys of London stocks over 30,000 different products on its seven funpacked floors. I wouldn’t miss the chance to make my own teddy at their soft-toy workshop..hehe!

Auckland has been known among New Zealand’s indigenous people, the Maori, as “Tamaki Makau Rau”, a maiden with 100 lovers. Located in the North Island of New Zealand, it is the largest urban area of the country with over 1.3 million people.

If you are into sporting events, don’t miss the chance to join the Harbour Crossing event, the largest ocean swim in the country, to be held this 25 November where over 1000 swimmers take part in the 2.8 km swim across the harbour.

But if you ask me, if I ever go to Auckland, I will not miss the chance to try the world’s first harbour bridge bungy jump where anybody aged over 10 years old can leap over the Waitemata Harbour…bet Hubby will kill me first before I can jump under the bridge at the pier..heh!
