Feb 24: TravelPeople - news without delay!

A family member of mine (who is a Professor of Economics) lives by the motto: "don't do today what can be put off until tomorrow". It has always fascinated me how he could be so academically advanced if he loves putting things off! Maybe the man just prioritizes well, who knows, but there is nothing worse than lying in bed at night thinking about all the things you should have done that day - even if you know that they're not that important. So I have sub-consciously decided that, if I have the time, I better just do it. As the saying goes - there is no time like the present! And without further delay, let me introduce you to the latest & greatest on www.travelpeople.co.za !

This week we bring you a brand new & all exciting COMPETITION Stand a chance to win an uber luxurious weekend for two persons at the five star Crystal Towers Hotel & Spa with breakfast, dinner on one night & a couples treatment! It doesn't get any better than that!

17 Feb: TravelPeople - always keeping you informed!

Isn't stress a weird thing? Too much of it is really bad for you, and so it is called the silent killer. It seems that too little of it is also not good because a little bit of adrenalin keeps you alert & on your toes. No adrenalin could result in no action whatsoever! What to do? How does one maintain healthy stress levels? Yes, we all know that the answer is eating right, exercising and sleeping enough, but how do you take the edge off? We all need an outlet - whether it's laughing, crying, dancing or just acting silly - it doesn't matter. As long as you know what works for you! And of course, try and keep it legal & healthy ... This week, www.travelpeople.co.za will keep you stress free by informing you of the latest news and the greatest offers!

February 3rd - TravelPeople Newsletter

I sure am glad that I live in South Africa and not the U.K. where you could get fined for blowing your nose at a red traffic light! Yes, a man was fined recently in the U.K. for blowing his nose while stationed in his car at a red traffic light (with his hand break on) as he apparently was not in full control of his car. Now, have you ever! Talk about control freaks ... I realize that there is a lot to be said about safety on South African roads, but that is honestly taking it a tad far. Judging by the way drivers behave on my route every morning, we would probably have no cars left on the road. I probably wouldn't make it out my driveway!

As Dr.Seuss so aptly stated: "From here to there - funny things are everywhere!" Except on www.travelpeople.co.za - no funnies here! This week we bring you loads of the good stuff ...

Don't forget to enter our very first & very exciting COMPETITION of the year! You and your special person can stand a chance to win 2 luxurious nights at two exclusive 5-star properties with compliments from The Last Word!
