There are so many different hotels, motels, resorts, and other overnight options for you to choose from, that it might seem a bit overwhelming when you are trying to plan your next vacation. While there are perks included with every location, choosing a place like the Metropole Hotel Resort might come with more benefits than you thought were possible. Remember, you need to take every detail into consideration when you are attempting to choose somewhere to stay. The price, location, accommodations, and other benefits, all have to be considered to ensure you will have an enjoyable and stress-free vacation.

With a resort hotel you have the all-inclusive option. Unlike a hotel or motel where you have to leave in order to eat or participate in activities, a resort hotel offers entertainment, food, shopping, and activities at the resort that you will be able to take advantage of. Everything will be paid for up-front so that you don’t have to worry about having cash for those things.

Resort hotels are meant to make it possible for you to enjoy every aspect of an enjoyable vacation without having to travel too far or spend too much money. You can stay at the resort and be so close to the attractions around you that brought you to the area in the first place. The resort may be linked to a theme park, ski lodge, beach area, or a historic site. You can leave your belongings in your room and walk to your desired location.

Many resort hotels offer childcare facilities so that you can have some adult time on your vacation. It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive, but just having the time to yourself while you know that your children are in good hands is enjoyable enough. The stress that you feel when you pack your kids around to the restaurant or to the movie will be gone when you are able to use the childcare facilities at the resort hotel. You can have the vacation that you wanted at a place like the Metropole Hotel Resort with your children, while also having some much needed adult time that you wanted.

Nelson Mandela Postcard

postcards of interesting people in history, postcards, South Africa

I received this postcard late last year briefly before it was in the news that Nelson Mandela has already passed away. He was one influential and inspirational personality that people from different parts of the world and different walks of life mourned his death and celebrated the full and meaningful life he led.

Here is a brief trivia about Nelson Mandela from Wikipedia:

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela {18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013} was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was South Africa’s first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation.

Mandela was a controversial figure for much of his life. Denounced as a communist terrorist by critics, he nevertheless gained international acclaim for his activism, having received more than 250 honours, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Soviet Order of Lenin and theBharat Ratna. He is held in deep respect within South Africa, where he is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, or as Tata (“Father”); he is often described as “the father of the nation”.

This is a great addition to my collection of postcards of interesting people in history. Thank you Ruhan for sending this card from South Africa, my very first from that country!
