Pod hotels are not a new phenomenon. They have been around for many years, but most travelers have never heard of them. The concept started in Japan as “capsule hotels”, that were, and are still being used mainly by traveling businessmen on stopovers. However, pod hotels are becoming more and more popular with vacation and holiday travelers as well, because they are convenient and cost a lot less than regular hotels. They can be found in the United States, Britain, Europe, and Asia, usually conveniently located in, or near to major airports. The pod hotel concept is just in its infancy in the U. S. and Europe, but is growing by leaps and bounds as more and more business and holiday travelers demand this unique service. Entrepreneurs are responding by creating very small, pod-like hotel rooms that are usually rented by the hour, or number of hours at a fraction of the cost of regular hotel rooms. Most pod hotel rooms are small, but comfortable and convenient, and they can have all the amenities of a regular hotel room. They can be a good choice for budget-conscious business travelers and vacationers. Some pod hotels are located at airports such as the ones at Yotel. com, situated in London’s Heathrow and Gatwick Airports. EasyHotels. com have pod hotels in London, Zurich, Basal, and Budapest. QBICHotels. com have pod hotels located in Amsterdam and Antwerp. A New York pod hotel is the PickwickArms. com. There is a new concept in pod hotels called Metronap Sleep Pods. These space age styled pods are springing up not only on the concourses of airports, but in strategic locations in office buildings. They are perfect for tourists and business travelers, as well as tired people and executives that just want to have a short nap. Even though these sleep pods are situated out in the open, they partially enclose for privacy, but are not claustrophobic. They are also equipped with noise canceling headphones. The rental cost is by the hour and is reasonably priced. Although this brand new sleeping accommodation is actually a hostel and not technically a pod hotel it is worth mentioning especially if you are traveling with one or two other people. It is called The Jumbo Hostel. There is a very good reason for its name. You see, it is an actual real Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet airplane which has been converted into a twenty-five room hostel. Each room has three beds. The rooms are approximately six square meters (a little larger than six square yards) in size and about three meters high (about nine feet) from the floor to the ceiling. Each of the rooms has a flat screen TV and access to wireless broadband. There is also a luxury suite located in the converted cockpit that has a panoramic view of all the air traffic at the airport. This Jumbo jet even has a neat café inside where vacationers can get a drink and a bite to eat. Travelers on holiday can even walk out onto one of the wings! Don’t worry, you won’t fall off as there is a railing. If you are visiting, or on a stopover in Stockholm and stay at the Jumbo Hostel, you don’t have to take a taxi to catch your flight as it’s only a very short walk to the airport’s main terminal. And if you are not planning to stay at the Jumbo Hostel it might be a fun adventure, especially if you are with children, to visit this magnificent plane and have breakfast or a meal or just a cup of coffee in the café. And guess where this cool Jumbo Jet airliner landmark is located. At the entrance to Stockholm’s Arlanda International airport where over seventeen million travelers pass through each year. This great concept has been created by entrepreneur Oscar Dioes and is Arlanda’s first hostel. This is probably the only commercial airliner in the world where travelers are guaranteed not to get jet lag or have to worry about overcoming the fear of flying.

Save time and money this holiday! What could be more practical way to shop and save time and money other than buying gifts online. There are beautiful and affordable gift baskets that will satisfy all of your “Wish List” needs and you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your home. Gift baskets come in a variety of high quality merchandise that will satisfy the taste buds and not empty your bank account.

Christmas is just around the corner folks and since most of us wait until the last minute to buy, usually everything our friends and family want are nowhere to be found. Buying gifts could be a chore sometimes, specially if the people you would buy gifts for are either hard to please or they seem to already have everything they want. Shopping gifts can be very tiring specially on holiday season when stores are very crowded and you have to fall in line when paying them.

Good thing we can now shop online and do not need to leave the comfort of our home giving us options to choose a wide selection of gifts and gift ideas without having to walk, and squeeze through crowded isles in the stores. Another advantage is that you do not need to have to gift wrap them and ship them yourselves. There are websites that offers this service for free and even giving you an option to have custom message sent together with the gifts you chose to make it more personalized.

I highly recommend LuckyGiftBaskets.com, they have affordable and beautiful gift baskets that come in a variety of high quality and fun assortments, they have a very wide online catalog, each product is categorized so you can easily choose. For instance, my favorite is the Tis’ The Season Holiday Gift Basket, which includes Charlie Brown’s Christmas “Snoopy’s Sweet Smores” Cocoa and Holiday Caramel Fruit Dip. They are unique and delicious, beautifully designed and wrapped.
