Make Your Own Perfect Golf Vacation

2012-06-30T23:46:00.000-07:00

The perfect golf vacation of you and your friends depend on you. So throw all the brochures of vacation packages and design your own vacation. This is the conclusion of all articles that will guide you and your friends towards a perfect vacation that you would like to have every year.

If you have followed our previous articles then you are at minus one month point now. This means that up till now you have gathered the group members, selected the dates of vacation and the golf courses and lodging place. Now you are in the final stage of preparation.

This is the time when you will be able to meet your friends at the airport baggage claim and see their smiling faces. The final preparation stage is very easy and will go on smoothly.

The toughest part of arranging this vacation was to agree your friends to buy the tickets for this event. Below are given few things that you should arrange before the aircraft of your friends land on the runway.

1. Transportation:

Here the problem that you will face is the arrival and departure from the airport due to club and suitcases. If you handle this thing then the upcoming week will be easy for you to handle.

From past experience you know that if you will pack four guys to go golfing locally, you will fill the trunk of a full sized car. Keeping this in mind, plan a full sized car for every three people. We always used a minivan/SUV for our vacations.

To avoid any mishaps, arrange these rental vehicles ahead of time but you can only drive one vehicle by yourself. This is mandatory for minus one month point. First you should know that what type of vehicles you will need and the number of vehicles that would be required.

The next step is to contact the group members who can arrange the rental vehicles. There might be some people in your group who can arrange the vehicles at discounted rates which will help you to save a great deal of money. You can email this to your members.

2. Entertainment:

Most probably you will have a rainy day unless you are going to the deserts of Arizona. After playing the golf you will have a lot of time at night. We used to spend this time by watching golf channel, ESPN, playing cards, telling tales or watching movies. Most of us liked to watch movies.

You can arrange the movies that you will watch ahead of time. Tell your friends to bring good movies. We had a friend who was very good at selecting movies and he also had a good collection of movies, so we used to tell him to bring movies to watch at night time during the vacation.

Movies like “miracle” and “gladiator” are always good to watch. Some of your group members might have adult movies that you would like to watch. On the rainy days, we used to tour the area or do a local movie theatre.

3. Checklists:

I became very irritated when people asked me silly questions about twenty times per day. Questions like, where are we playing the next day or what we have for supper and who stole my teddy bear irritated me a lot. Since then I started to type these things.

Now I make a copy of the schedule and post it everywhere in the house. I started giving laminated cards to every golfer. Because of this the number of questions has reduced to half and even if somebody asks me, I tell them I don’t remember but I can read it for you if you want. The things for which you should prepare ahead of time are given below:

• Make a list of course, departure times, tee times, and course contact numbers. My departure timings are based on MapBlast directions.

• Make a list of menu for evening meals. It is better to keep the menu simple if you are doing it for the first time. Keep the recipes with you in hand. Remember that you should have one or two chefs with any size group. This is not a big deal.

• You should have multiple copies of order sheet for sandwiches. We used to prepare the gourmet sandwiches for our noon meals on the night before. As I have also mentioned in my previous articles that I always ask people about the sandwiches and food that they would like to have. The best way is to give sheets to the people where they can write down the type of sandwiches that they would like to eat the next day. Give the sheet to your chef every night. They will prepare the gourmet feast according to the requirements of people.

• We made a big mistake in the initial golf organizing years. The mistake was that we did not keep a record of our scores. It is better to keep a record of every year. Now I have made a hard copy sheet which I fill in every year. Take the records with you at home and post it on your golf website. This will also help to attract other people towards your golf vacations.

• I pay for almost everything. Now I have started using spread sheet to keep a record of my expenses and to manage my expenses. I would have provided you the spread sheet but the article format does not allow me to do that. Before I started using spread sheet, I kept a record of everything by simply using pen and paper. The message which I am trying to convey you here is that the minute when you start to plan your adventure, keep a record of every single penny that you have spent. If someone is making the contribution then record it immediately in your log book.

4. Things nobody else will bring but you:

• Cribbage boards

• Pliers and screw drivers (you might need this)

• Several decks of cards and poker chips

• Pencils, permanent markers and pens to keep a record of everything

• Band-Aids in case if someone gets injured

• Over the counter pain killers

• Games

5. Arrival:

This is the time when all your friends would be coming to the house that you have chosen. Do not indulge yourself in things like who got the master bed and who got the twin bed.

6. When you have reached the location, this is the time to go on shopping. You have the list in your hands and you have books everything. Now the only thing that you have to do is to go and grab the things.

This is the conclusion of all my articles. I would recommend you to go for it. I have been doing this since 19 years and it has been fun for me. Give it a try and enjoy your golf vacations.

Golf and Horseback Riding Vacations

2012-06-06T01:46:00.000-07:00

Horseback riding vacations at Dude ranches:

Horseback riding is a favorite vacation for many people. People who are interested in horseback riding should consider following points before selecting the Dude ranch:

1. OWNER ATTITUDE:

It is important to see that whether the owners or managers participate in the horseback riding activities along with the guests or not. if they love the horseback riding then they would participate often. It is better to choose a Dude ranch that is working for many years rather than choosing a Dude ranch that has started working only few years ago.

2. THE HORSES:

Also see that whether the horses belong to the ranch or they are rented. Rented horses are mostly not of top quality. The ranches are mostly unfamiliar with these rented horses. It is good if the ranch have a broad variety of horses because can find the horse that suits you best.

3. CLIENT/HORSE RATIO:

This is also a vital factor to consider while selecting a Dude ranch. The horses will get exhausted if there is only one horse per client, so it is better that they have more than one horse for a client. A hard riding cowboy will probably need half a dozen of horses but the guests would only need two or three horses per client who rides seriously.

4. TERRAIN AND LOCATION:

Different Dude ranches have different kinds of Terrain for horse riding. Some have rocky grounds whereas others have steep mountain valleys. Not all riders can ride in these types of terrains so before selecting dude ranches keep this thing in mind.

5. PACE OF RIDES:

There are only few ranches that allow riders to gallop around freely. Most ranches send the riders in a group of either twenty people or six people whose abilities to ride might not match with each other. Determining the abilities of a rider is very important for making groups. Dude ranches should evaluate the riders before making groups.

6. TACK:

The tack is very important for rider as well as the horse. It should be comfortable. Also see that the saddles provided by Dude ranches are comfortable or not. A horse with an uncomfortable saddle will act strangely and will detract from the riding experience.

7. SAFETY:

This should be your main priority. You can minimize the risks of getting hurt by taking some simple measures. These include

• Never ride without a hard hat

• Always match the horse and the rider carefully

• The pace should be slow to match with the abilities of least skillful rider.

• A proper knowledge and instructions should be given to the rider about the horse he is riding.

• The trainers should be well qualified.

• Cinches should be properly tighten

8. ATTITUDE TO HORSE:

It is also important to see the attitude of ranches towards the horses. Some ranches treat their horses like motor bikes while others treat them in a very good manner.

Golf Vacations:

Before planning your golf vacations you should consider following things.

How much vacation money do you have saved?

You might not have been able to save so much money for your golf vacation but this doesn’t matter. You can have a great golf vacation even with small amount of money. If you have money to spend then you can visit places like southern United States, California, Virgin Islands and Hawaii.

If you cannot spend too much money on your golf vacation then you can take a much cheaper vacation. you should have money to cover the expenses of hotel stay, food, transportation and other activities.

Are you bringing non-golfers on your trip?

Many people bring their friends or family members on golf vacation who might not know how to play golf. If you are planning to bring non golfers on the trip then choose a golf place that offer other activities along with golf or a golf place which is near to other attractions of the city.

Is your potential vacation course challenging enough for you?

Many golf places offer different types of courses according to the capabilities of the player. Find out about these courses before going on a vacation so that you can select the right course for you.

Challenge:

The most important thing while selecting a destination and course for your golf vacation is the difficulty level of courses that you are considering. Many different courses are offered these days so you can select a course according to your capability. So selecting the right course is necessary rather than selecting a destination.

Weather, Seasons, and Related Concerns:

Most golfers like summer season for playing golf. They like to sit under the sun and enjoy the golfing and tea. Most people like to travel to UK during the summer season because the sun set occurs at around 10 or 11 p.m. and it rises by 4 or 5 a.m. so they can have thirty six holes a day.

Off Season?

Travelling off-season is a great idea if you want to save money but this has some drawbacks. You might have to play in rain, heat or humidity during the off-season.

Prices are very down during the off-season in Florida and Palm Springs. This is mostly the summer time. So people who can withstand heat and humidity can have vacation during off-season.

Other Activities:

While selecting a golf place, you should look that whether that place offers any other activities besides golf or not. This is very important because you might be travelling with people who are not interested in playing golf or you may not be able to play golf of because of bad weather.

How Many Courses Do You Need?

You should also consider the amount of time that you want to spent on playing golf. Select the number of courses that you would like to play.

Plan your vacation while keeping all these things in mind so that you can have a great golf vacation.

Tips For Choosing The Right Ship And Packing For Your Cruise Vacation

2012-05-25T22:43:00.000-07:00

If you are planning to go on a cruise vacation with your family then the first thing that you should do as a cruise planner is to look for different types of ships.

Different ships are available, from small yacht like ships to mega-liners. keep the following things in mind while planning a cruise vacation.

A small ship can accommodate an average of 500 passengers. Small ships have fewer programs for entertainment so you will be have more free time. It is good for those who want to spent time with their loved ones.

A mid size ship can accommodate 500 to 1000 passengers. The local groups and piano player come to play on these ships. One advantage of going to vacation on mid size ship is that the lines seldom forms.

The mega liners ships have many different entertainment activities that are going on all the time. If you are going on this ship then make sure that you have pocket size layout of the ship so that you are not lost. One disadvantage of going on mega-liners ship is that they are crowded and you might have to stand in long lines. The other thing is that you will have to go in tenders from the ship to the shore. Tenders are small life boats.

Cruise Tip: make sure that you are going on the tender that goes to your ship. There may be many tenders on the shore, so you might get confused and make a mistake. This will ruin your trip so always check that you are going in the right tender.

When planning a cruise vacation ask yourself different questions. Check that whether the ship has all the facilities that are necessary for you like healthy exercise, spa packages etc.

Cruise Tip: it is better to book a mega-liner if you are seasick. While traveling on big ships you will hardly notice that you are moving.

Before booking the ship keep in mind to book ship on which you can have maximum enjoyment. It is obvious that the larger ships will have more facilities and the smaller ones will have fewer facilities and are more personalized. On smaller ships you will have more time to spend with your loved ones.

The other thing that you should consider before hiring a ship is the number of ports that you will visit. If you hire a ship that stops at the port every day, then this can be tiring for you.

If you are going on the port that you have visited before then the best option is to stay on the ship. In this way you can spent some time in the gym or spa treatment. This can be very relaxing If the trip is longer than the possibility is that older people are on that ship because they have more time to spend. Going on a cruise vacation is different experience.

With all this information you will surely be able to pick an ideal ship for your vacation. so don’t waste time and book the right ship for your vacation. When you are done with the booking, the time has now come to pack for your cruise vacation.

The cruise will give you guidelines for packing at the time of booking. Seven day cruises usually have two formal nights. You will need a tuxedo for gentlemen and a cocktail dress or gown for ladies. Most ships have tuxedo rentals but it is better that you buy your own tuxedo. Ten day cruise have three formal nights.

On the informal days you will have to wear a jacket and a tie, and a dress or pants suit. The remaining days on the cruise will be resort casual. You cannot wear jeans, tee shirts or shorts in the dining room at the dinner time. Some people also wear kilts and sporran on the cruise.

Some cruise lines do not have formal lines, so if you are not in the mood of dressing up then tell your agent to hire a ship that does not have formal nights. Some cruise lines have theme nights. Make sure that your agent informs you of all such activities that will happen on cruise before time so that you can prepare for it.

If you are planning to go to a warm climate area then it is better to keep two bathing suits. If you have two suits then you will not have to wear the wet suit when you are going to swimming for the second time.

Don’t forget to take sun block, a hat and a pair of glasses with you. these things will save your skin from the sun rays and the harsh weather of that area. I always take several pairs of prescription glasses with me in case if one gets lost.

It is a good idea to keep the bathing suit and cover on the top of the luggage so that you can easily take them out when you get on the cruise without wasting any time.

Cruise Tip: always pack a light sweater for day time and a shawl for evening so that you can wear it whenever you feel cold. At night you might feel cold because of the cold wind that blows at night.

If you are travelling on the cruise for the first time then after dropping the luggage to your room, go to the buffet and then have a short tour of your ship so that you can have an idea about the ship.

This is very important if you are travelling on a mega-liner. Some cruise lines give a tour of the ship on the first day, so don’t miss this opportunity. Check your daily sheet for the time so that you can be aware of what is going on in the ship.

The day you arrive at the ship, after you’ve gotten the layout, make any appointments you want; hair, nails, or massages, appointments sell out very quickly for formal nights and days at sea. If you are using the traditional dining option make sure it is correct, if it isn’t go see the Maitre d’. He will try very hard to accommodate you. Keep these points in mind

1. Don’t over pack

2. Bring one pair of casual shoes and one pair of dressy shoes.

3. Buy travel size appliances i.e., curlers, irons and blow dryers .

4. Tape a copy of your itinerary on the inside of your suitcase so if it gets lost the airline will know where to send it.

Tucson Arizona:

This place is a great vacation destination because of its warm temperature, less rain and abundant sunshine.

Even during the winter the temperature remains in a range of 50 degrees to 60 degrees. Rainfall is also very rare and occurs mostly in the months of June and July.

The geographical location of this place is also very good. You can see the mountain ranges from anywhere but you can only reach the mountains if you pass through the deserts. Twenty minutes drive through the desert will take you to the base of the mountains. Mount Lemmon is one of the mountain ranges. By driving up the twisting roads of Mount Lemmon you can see the unique flora, geology and ecosystems.

If you are planning to go to Tucson Arizona then below are given some useful tips that will make your vacation much easier.

Sunscreen:

It is very important to apply sunscreen if you are going out for more than thirty minutes. Apply it to the exposed areas of skin. This is necessary because the UV index in Arizona rarely drops below maximum, so your skin can burn in ten to fifteen minutes.

Outerwear:

Although the temperature is quite warm in the morning, it gets colder at the night time. So it is better to take a light jacket with you which can protect you from the chills at night.

Water:

People who are planning to visit deserts in Arizona should take abundant quantities of water or any other fluids with them along with the sunscreen. This will prevent you from getting dehydrated. When you are in the desert, drink water at regular intervals. This can save you from many problems.

Camera:

Almost every tourist brings cameras with them. Camera is very important if you are going to Tucson for vacation. This is because at this place you will get to see some exciting sceneries which you cannot see in any other part of the world. Make sure that you bring enough films or adequate digital storage with you.

Desert Walking Footwear:

If you are planning to visit the Sonora Deserts around Tucson then bring good footwear with you. many people bring tennis shoes which are not good to wear in the deserts because the spines of cactus can easily pierce the shoes and can hurt your foot.

Know The Animals:

There are some plants and animals that can be dangerous for you. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with these plants and animals that can ruin your vacation. These include rattle snake, spiders, scorpions and several types of cactus.

Some Places Not To Miss:

Biodome II, Kitt peak, Flandreau Planetarium, Old Tucson Movie Studio, 4th Avenue, Agua Caliente Park, The Desert Museum, Gate's Pass

Wisconsin Dells:

This has become a very important destination for spending the summer vacations. This is a good place to visit for people who live in Midwest because they can easily reach here. Recently many water parks have been built which has made this a popular place.

Here you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and sandstone rock formations. You can tour the sandstone rock formations either through a “boat” tour or a “duck” tour. Small children’s mostly enjoy “duck” tour.

If you choose a boat tour then you can take a tour of “upper Dells” , “lower Dells” or both of them. The tour of upper dells is about two hours and that of lower dells is about one hour.

The “duck” tour includes land as well as water tour. In this tour you can see the beautiful sceneries on land as well as water. This tour is liked by kids of all ages. The tour begins on the dry land and then they will take you to the down streets of Wisconsin Dells. You can also view the wild life in this tour.

While driving in the water the driver will ask whether you want to go into the water slow or fast. Going fast is usually more fun to do. After the water tour is complete the driver will take you to the land and the tour will be complete. During the whole tour the driver will entertain you by narrating funny and informative stories regarding the place.

Wisconsin Dells has indoor as well as outdoor water parks. Noah’s Ark is a famous outdoor water park. Below are given some tips that will help you to cut down the cost and to make the trip enjoyable.

1. It is better not to buy the tickets on the day when you want to visit the park. Look for discounted tickets.

You may get them online or from the local parks and recreation department. Other thing that you can do is go to the downtown Wisconsin Dells. Here the discounted tickets are mostly available especially if you are planning to do more than one activity.

2. Take waterproof sunscreen to protect your skin.

3. Take towels with you rather than buying from the park because they can be quite expensive.

4. Try renting a locker in the park so that you don’t have to carry your stuff everywhere.

5. Don’t forget to take plastic bags for your wet swimsuits and towels.

6. Take a small waterproof container for extra money.

7. It is better to bring your own lunch.

8. Bring water shoes.

At the centre of the Turquoise Coast is located the historic city of Antalya. it is situated on a hill top overlooking a busy harbor. It is a good place to visit because in the morning you can ski on mountain tops and in the afternoon you can swim in the Turquoise water.

Remains of an ancient city called Perge is located 18km away from Antalya towards east. Perge was an important city in Pamphylia, a Hittite city around 1,500 B.C. Some people say that St. Paul stopped here on his way to Rome in 46 A.D.

The remains of a Roman theatre called Aspendos has been restored. It is situated near Antalya and it was built by the renowned Roman architect Xenon in the 2nd Century, A.D.

This theatre has a capacity of 15,000 people and it is still known for its outstanding acoustics, hosting opera and ballet festivals, and similar performances every year. It is an interesting place to visit.

About a decade ago Verdi's opera AIDA was organized in this Aspendos theatre. It was a beautiful performance and people who watched it, remember it till this day.

Las Vegas Travel Tips:

One of the biggest mistakes made by travelers is that they book the hotels with cheapest fare without considering the location and services provided by the hotel.

It is good to spend less money on vacation but this does not mean that you get whatever is cheaper without looking at the services. In every hotel there are different rooms having different prices. So before making your bookings, search for the hotels that provide better rooms and services at low prices. There is no need of booking the expensive rooms. Book the one that offers you maximum facilities at lower prices.

It is better to book the hotel in advance because Las Vegas is booked up an average of 94% year round.

Booking before the day of arrival will save your money and time.

When you are done with the booking of hotel then do the booking for shows that you would like to watch. You can book them online. Also book your Las Vegas tour. You can have a daytime trip to the Boulder Dam and Grand Canyon or you can have a helicopter ride over Glitter Gulch and Downtown. These tour programs are not that expensive. You can check online for the prices and timings of the tour.

Las Vegas Gambling Tips:

Las Vegas is very popular for its gambling. Make a budget for daily gambling and stick to it. You have a chance of winning because thousands of jackpots are paid every day. Remember not to spend more money than you have planned to spend.

Don’t shoe off with your money and handle it carefully because there might be thieves who are keeping an eye on your money.

Las Vegas Security:

All ladies should bring a small purse or a bag with neck strap or waste pouch. Keep your money inside and don’t show it off. Don’t leave your purse on the table or anywhere else because they can be easily stolen by the thieves. Always keep the strap around your neck.

Thieves mostly work in pairs. One of them will distract your attention and the other will try to steal the purse. They can distract you by throwing some money or bill near you and will ask you if this belongs to you or not. they might also grab your attention by talking to you continuously about things and in the mean time the other partner will steal your stuff and will runaway. This has happened to many people so be careful with your money and stuff. Don’t leave your stuff unattended.

Tips for vacationing and rentals in Costa Rica:

Costa Rica is one of the best places to visit. Here you can enjoy the jungles, secluded beaches and friendly people. You can enjoy all the activities at very reasonable price. One thing about which everyone should think of before going for vacation is selecting the best Costa Rica holiday rentals. This is important because having a good place to stay can make your vacation a memorable experience.

Some people give little importance to the place where they will stay and so they book any available place. But this is also an important part of a good vacation because this is the place where you will be coming for sleeping, eating and rest. This will be like a home away from home.

Below are given some tips that will help you to select the perfect Costa Rica holiday rental:

1. Look at the pictures of holiday rentals on the website or on the brochures. This is necessary because it will give an idea that how your holiday rentals looks like. Prepare a list of things that you think is necessary to be present in the holiday rentals.

This includes the number of bedrooms & bathrooms, type kitchen, water, private pools, outdoor seating areas, outdoor amenities such as decks & BBQ grills, ocean views, tennis courts & other items important to you.

2. Make a list of things that are not necessary but they are lovely to have.

3. List the activities that you would like to do during your vacation. Activities like canopy, scuba diving and snorkeling are always good to do.

a. It is also important that the holiday rentals should not be very far away from the airport. It should take a minimum of twenty minutes to drive to the holiday rentals.

b. Things like pool waterfall, hammock, exterior stereo speakers, ice makers etc are always good to have on a vacation so that you can enjoy your vacation.

c. You should also select your holiday rentals while keeping in mind that how far is it from all the attractions.

8. Do your rentals have a management team to help you?

9. How long has the owner been renting holiday rentals?

10. Do you think that you will have a great time here?

Planet Explorers Las Vegas 2012: A Travel Guide for Kids

A Simple Guide To Visit Beautiful Barcelona [Part 2]

2011-11-17T01:47:00.000-08:00

This is the second part of the introduction of the famous and beautiful places in Barcelona.

MUSEUMS - The Barbier-Mueller Museum of Pre-Columbian Art – this is a museum which is dedicated to the cultures of the old Columbians. In this museum tourists and visitors can see the rich world of the oldest cultures on the continent of America.

This museum is set in a Gothic palace and this palace is one of the master-piece. This is not a big museum. It contains around 100 pieces which includes wood & stone sculptures, ceramics, tapestries, jade, mostly found in international exhibitions & prestige publications. All these things placed there show the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Chavin, Mochica & Inca civilizations.

Palau de la Musica Catalana – it is among the landmarks in Barcelona. It is a music hall which is known as extraordinary world famous. It is the mixture of many explicit creations like polychrome ceramic ticket windows on the Carrer de Sant Pere Mes Alt side and the busts of Palestrina, Bach, Beethoven, & Wagner. This place depicts the most modern culture of Barcelona.

Museu Picasso – this is one of the museums which is mostly visited by everyone. There are 3500 things to represent. The very initial work of Picasso is placed here as he lived in Barcelona for a long time from 1901 – 06. These exhibits include childhood sketches, captures from the beautiful Rose & Blue periods, & the well-known 1950s Cubist variations on Velazquez's Las Meninas (Ladies-in-Waiting).

Gaudi Casa-Museu – this house is just like an Alice-in-Wonderland house where Gaudi spent years from 1906 – 1926 with its pinks. This place then changed and all of the Gaudi’s designed furniture, decorations, drawings, & portraits were placed and exhibited here.

Fundacio Miro – this was the native city of Joan Miro and he gifted this to its city. This museum contains most explicit contemporary art and it opened in 1975 and then became most famous.

WHEN TO GO, WEATHER: the weather in this city is warm in late spring and early autumn and it is between 21 C – 25 C so everyone who wants to go Barcelona should go in these seasons. Otherwise, this place keeps a usual hot and humid temperature +30 (+86 Fahrenheit).

The month of august is specially known for a big number of the local inhabitants that they go out from the city. So, I suggest no one should go there in this month as lots of shops, bars & restaurants close.

The temperature in the day time is comparatively good and sometimes it rains which is good to enjoy all the places and it is approx. +12 C (+59 Fahrenheit).

BEACHES – there are plenty of beaches in Barcelona and this city is really famous for its beautiful beaches. The well known and world renowned beaches are Costa Brava & Costa Dorada and it takes about an hour to reach them from Barcelona.

Apart from these two there are other famous beaches which are around 4km far within the city boundaries. The big beach is Nova Icaria – very close to the Olympic marina, always have plenty of people, really sandy with golden color, enjoyable with food items.

There are very high standard and perfect beach bars over there and they make up around 7 when we talk about the famous restaurants on the promenade (Mango & Chiringuito de Moncho). There are more bars with a little distance from the beach.

Bogatell – the size of this beach is 7 times the size of adjoining Nova Icaria. This beach is having a walkway made with stones which can be used perfectly for jogging, roller blading and running. There are two big informal restaurants on the promenade.

One is the Mar Bella (Metro Ciutadella Vila Olimpica, plus 20-minute walk) – this is the one and only beach of Barcelona which is naturist and is very near to a calm and silent park. This park is very good if one wants to have a picnic or siesta sitting under the trees.

The second one is Barceloneta – this is kind of a jolly park with loads of fun with the traditional locals. Its drawing is wide and long. This restaurant keeps noisy and crowded all the time.

GETTING THERE & AROUND: any one can come to Barcelona by a direct flight or via Madrid or he can take a flight from the major airports of the European big city.

The fares for all these flights vary from the months like very high rates in May-September, very low in March-April, October-November and December-February but these exclude the days of Christmas and old year because at that time the prices of fares touch the sky. If you take weekend flight you will find it costly so better not go on weekends.

You can take other modes of travelling to Barcelona if you are coming from within Europe like train, bus or automobile but they will take long time than flying and sometimes even cost equal. You can also take the way via any Mediterranean cruises which also include Barcelona.

ACCOMODATIONS: there is a range of various choices from which you can choose. Holiday rentals in a 4-star apartment hotel start from $ 12 USD for a room which is double.

You can also book in a 3-star hotel for $65 USD for a double room. Due to the visits of the tourists to this city and resorts all of the year, the prices you have to pay for hotels remain the same throughout the year.

DININD: apart from restaurants you can also go to bars for your meals where you will get the Tapas - small snacks- two or two chunks of fish, meat or vegetables, or salad, and it is their tradition to serve this up free with a drink, or they may offer you raciones which is large ones.

You will find it interesting if you go to the bar because of the allowed rounds and the sampling of local specialities. A meal which includes seven dishes and dessert would cost you at an average of 25 Euros.

Tips And Guide To Visit Rotorua, New Zealand [Part 2]

2011-11-13T01:10:00.000-08:00

This article is the second part of the guide, when you go to Rotorua.

Other Attractions

Rainbow Springs Park:

There is a very beautiful park which is having a centerpiece, a trout fish with plenty of clear and pure running water and a bush land.

There are fishes inside which you can feed as well. There are a lot of beautiful and lovely walking tracks. There are shows at the farms also.

Skyline Skyrides:

When you go to ride on a gondola the main reason behind is not only to get to the top for the great view but it is actually the amazing and enjoying ride on the luge.

There is loads of fun and amazement but unless you are able to save yourself from falling off. There is a chairlift which is being used to operate this luge for an unlimited time but you can only make it longer if you have lots of budget.

Agrodome:

This is a show which tells you all what you want to know about sheep. It is really surprising to have a show on sheep. The information they provide on farming in NZ is very entertaining and interest grabbing.

Rotorua Museum of Art:

This is a building in NZ which purely depicts the reason for its creation. This building itself says that I am made for tourists. When it was firstly built, it was a bath house. Now it has been converted to a hot water treatment centre. The thing which you must not miss is the movie on local history.

This movie is being by you on a very super duper multimedia. So just sit down and hold on your seat to have an amazing experience. You must know about Edwardian design, this building is one of them, a total master piece. All of the gardens surrounding this building are very well maintained.

Natures Wonders

Getting something free attracts you so much and even more if it is one of your loving things.

Huka Falls:

Going to north from the Taupo lake is the M1 where you will find the beautiful Huka Falls and also the most famous all over the world, the Huka Falls Lodge (for the novu-rich of the world). You will not have to pay for seeing them. The volume of the water of the falls is too much.

These falls are near to the mighty Waikato river(NZ longest river). These Falls impress everyone up to the maximum. The sheer volume of these falls doesn’t let any to go over them and then come back alive. At the base of the falls the boats run very smoothly so boat trips are available for those who want to feel everything from a different aspect.

Whakarewarewa Forrest Park:

There are lakes which differ in color and amaze you by their twinkling colors. On going to their side, you will find lovely strands of redwood trees. There are pretty horse riding and walking tracks as well. You will notice the size of the trees to be very big but they are not that old, they are very young than how they may look.

Government Gardens:

There are a lot of gardens which surround the Rotorua museum. These gardens contain the flower beds, rose gardens, bowling greens and much more to relieve your eyes.

Kuirau Park:

There is a park named as kuirau park in front of the kuirau hospital. This park is also filled with boiling pools and geometrical activities to appeal the tourists. These pools contain a very useful pool named as foot pool which soothes your sore feet.

There is a children’s park which entertain the kids with its miniature railway. When I was there on my last visit, I saw a big hole on the ground in which there were many trees fell in and mud covered it, reason behind was a localized eruption.

The reason behind telling you all about this is to warn you about the danger of this area for being geometrically active and potentially harming.

Blue and Green Lakes:

The blue lake there is after the Whakarewarewa Forrest. This lake really attracts the swimmers or the ones who want to do boating activities. Its water is very clear and its bottom is pumice. But the only problem one can face is the weeds.

If you want to have a look of Mt. Tarawera then you have to keep on moving forward on the road. No one can enter the green lake as it is banned for being cursed, sacred or special.

Mt. Tarawera:

If you want to do adventure or if you are a real adventure lover, just go to the back road and start climbing Mount Tarawera, it would be a real fun. You will need to enter into the crater and then for the best fun you start running to the bottom with maximum speed.

On 10 June 1886 there was a badly big eruption which destroyed many villages out there and spoiled the pink and white terraces. The massive crater was also one of its results.

Lakes:

There are too many lakes which I cannot mention as it is really difficult. A lot of characteristics are there which you will find in each lake. Some lakes have black volcanic glass and even some have the pumice stone which you will see on their shores.

Hamurana Springs:
The spring is very beautiful there. You must need to visit this place in springs. The streams of the blue lakes are really tempting. The lake is having pure and crystal clear water on which there are a hint of blue flows.

The white pumice bed contains all these blue flows. The red woods stand in the stream looks so beautiful which no one can deny. This lake also contains the trout fish but fishing is prohibited in this lake.

These are the list of the basic things which you must enjoy whenever you visit Rotorua and there always been a continuous change at every tourist place after some time. Visit the site for pictures of this place.

New Zealand (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

Tips And Guide To Visit Rotorua, New Zealand [Part 1]

2011-11-11T00:36:00.000-08:00

I will personally give the opinion to visit Rotorua if someone has come to North Island of New Zealand and he has only one day to visit some place.

I took all this information written in this article from a person who has been to Rotorua many times as compared to me but still I will go there whenever I will get a lucky chance. This article is non-commercial and is intended to be for general information.

Location

The time taken to visit Rotorua is about 2.5 – 3 hours and its south of Auckland by drive. For going Rotorua a short way can be taken which is through Mata Mata but another way can also be taken which is via Hamilton and Cambridge, heading towards south.

Attractions

There are a lot of things at Rotorua which are a piece of attraction for all who come to north island. These attractions include geothermal wonders, a center of Maori Culture, Parks, Lakes, Natural History and a number of modern day attractions.

The smell is an attraction which most visitors have noticed. This is actually hydrogen sulphide which is a gas of rotten eggs. If you keep on staying there in Rotorua you will eventually notice that this smell comes at sudden moments and you will get to familiarize with it.

Geometrical Parks

The areas which are great in Rotorua are much more and which includes parks and other great places like: Whakarewarewa thermal area, Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Waitapu Thermal wonderland, Orakei Korako Geyserland and Hell's Gate. But one thing which you have to keep inmind that they are not free to visit, you will have to pay for them.

Whakarewarewa:

The fare for this site is the same as any fare for a visit to Rotorua. This is very unfortunate that the part has now been not the one instead it is now in two parts so each part has not enough to see so don’t need to go alone, take someone with you.

I want to warn you for the fares because due to the division, one fare is now equal to the price of two. There are the best master carvers in the NZ Maori Arts and Crafts Institute which is on the entrance of Hemo Road. There are two more things which are kiwi house and Maori meeting house.

The two famous places which are having their place there are Pohutu (big splash) and Prince of Wales geyser. The reason for this name as Prince of Wales geyser is because the geyser shoots out in three directions and it just makes one suddenly think of the Prince of Wales crest.

There are a lot of things there such as there is a place named Tyron Street which has a meeting house at its entrance where there cultural shows are organized, a village, shops and some hot pools, etc. when school hours off then a lot of local Maori children jumps off from the bridge to search for the loose change which is also dropped into the same stream.

Waimangu Volcanic Valley:

This is a place which is round about having a 20 minutes distance while heading towards Taupo in south of Rotorua. You need to already prepare your mind for a walk. There are numerous rainbow pools, the huge champagne pool, artist palette, sulphur vents, boiling mud and a huge silica terrace.

When you pay for your admission there, the $24 for an adult includes something which you should enjoy. That is you have to reach early in the morning before 10am, a little drive will take you to the Lady Knox geyser who you will find just once a day. She will feed you with soup. A free and amazing thing for you is the natural mud pool on this same road which is tremendous and you will surely find it the best ever.

Orakei Korako Geyserland:

There is a lake Taupo, a short distance after there is a route 5 on the side road on Rotorua which connects to the route 1. There is a park which you can explore by catching a ferry across the lake.

There is a good track which makes you to see all the wonders there which include mud pools, a large cave, the emerald terrace and the largest silica feature in the country. This is really worthy to be visited if you come this way.

Hell’s Gate:

There is a thermal park with a number of boiling things which are Adam's frying pan, a mud volcano and hot water falls.

There was a person selling out multi-colored sand in a glass container and I bought that, it looked so beautiful.

There was a statement which I read a reasonable time ago, a man stated that he would have gladly paid for not going to this area, whereas I totally deny from this, it worth visiting.

Maori Culture:

There are lots of attractions whose base are Maori. These are many: Tamaki Maori Village (I have not visited yet) the NZ Maori Arts and Crafts Institute (already spoken about), the Buried Village and numerous Hungi and Cultural Performances.

In 1886, there was an eruption in which there was a loss of Maori being perished and got buried into the mud. Its half area got buried so sounds like a buried village. But for tourism aspect, they now dig it and try to rebuild the old structure.

There is no review available from my side as I have not visited Tamaki Maori Village yet.

Now come to the edibles. You want to enjoy the Maori culture food and their entertainment then you will have to first book any concerts which they organize by the local hotels. You will surely find the top rated food, music and friendship there.

A Brief Description About Panama

2011-11-09T01:26:00.000-08:00

I am sure you people must have heard about wonderlands and fantasy lands? While listening about these lands, you must have wished to go there once in a life time.

So hold your breath because I am just going to reveal you such a land. PANAMA! A land for all adventure lovers.

The country has many special features making it unique from other countries of the world. One of such features is country’s rainforest; these rainforests are among the posh, richest, and most intricate forests of the planet.

Another most special feature of this amazing country is that this is the only country where jaguars and pumas hang around; you just have to take very short drive from the capital. The jungles and forests of the country are so dark and huge that more than 940 bird species and 105 endangered animals have made these forests their homeland.

This includes spectacled bears, Central American tapir, American crocodiles, scarlet macaw and different eagle classes.

Panama is a small country but it has some of the best things to offer which includes diving, bird watching, deep sea fishing and other eager and most awaiting adventures.

Panama has best deserted palm line seaside, rainforests, national parks, mystifying mangroves, steamy cloud forests, mountains, waterfalls, intense rivers, abandoned forts, and deserts to offer to visitors of the country.

The greatest way to spend dawn in panama is by diving in the Caribbean and the finest way to spend afternoons is by swimming in the pacific.

There are many other activities that you can do and enjoy. Like explore the ancient skeletons of the colonial era, dive for Sir Francis Drake’s lead coffin, go to rainforest in the aerial tram, ride a dug-out canoe to a native Indian village, see the distant and puzzling forests of the Darién region right on the border of Colombia, come head to head with a red-napped tamarind monkey or a trio of colorful toucans.

In an article written on February 2005, Conde Nast Traveler writes that: “Panama has temperate rain forests, great surf and beaches, and more birdlife than any other country in Central America. Now…it also has a newly elected administration that wants travelers to enjoy every bit of it."

Panama is a small country but it’s absolutely amazing to see the varieties the country has to offer to its visitors and tourists.

Now I am going to give you people a brief description about panama. You will find below the places and activities that you can go for in 24 hours of your visit. From the customary Panamanian brunch to trip to Miraflores Locks to sunset drinks.

Brunch in El Trapiche

This is the best thing that panama offers its visitors; yummy and delicious brunch. You must have heard this saying that: “always have breakfasts like king”.

El Trapiche is the place where you can have one just like kings and queens. And it is best to hit off the day with full stomach. El Trapiche is one of the demanding restaurants of the country. Here breakfast is served in typical Panamanian fashion.

You can have an appetizing roll made of mashed yucca and stuffed with ground beef and boiled eggs—and a side of corn tortillas, that more resemble silver dollar pancakes than taco shells. Don’t worry about the bill. All this will cost you less than $8.

Trip to the Miraflores Locks

You go to Panama and you come back to home without seeing “eighth wonder of the world; panama canal”; then you wasted you entire trip to panama. The history of this canal describes the human skill of cleverness and bravery at the same time.

Many people suffered from decades of sacrifices, devastating defeats, and final moment of conquest. The building of this canal was instigated in 1904 and finished in a decade.

Builders and people of the country faced countless difficulties like landslides, diseases, setbacks, loss of lives of many people but despite they did not give up and now this canal is labeled as one of the utmost engineering creations. The canal is dug in 240 million cubic yards of earth.

The 51 miles long canal opened the ways of shipping in Australia in 1914 and was announced proudly on July 12, 1920. US paid $25 million to Colombia in 1921 as a compensation for the loss of Panama and in return Colombia declared Panama as an independent land.

On a boat, it takes eight hours to reach from one ocean to other. On way, you get to see three sets of locks. If you want to view the canal at best then visit Miraflores Locks. It allows you to take a best look of canal for free from 9.00am to 5.00pm. 9.00am is the time when bulky ships pass through the canal. So 9.00am is the best time to reach to Miraflores Locks.

Discover Casco Viejo

Come and explore the oldest and ancient city of the panama. Casco Viejo is positioned in the entrance of the Panama Canal. The city existed long before the canal was constructed.

History tells us that Panama City which is now popular as Old Panama or Panama La Vieja came into existence in 1519. It is two mile from the middle of Panama City.

It is this city from where journeys were began to conquest the Inca Empires of South America and all the wealthy loots from Peru, Chile, and California ran to Spain through Old Panama. This valuables appealed many bandits like Henry Morgan.

In Morgan’s attack, original Panama City was completely blazed. In 1673 two years after the attack, the capital was shifted two miles to the west and then current Panama City was originated. This area is now known as Casco Viejo.

In the process of rebuilding the city, Spanish settlers took a decision of building a huge wall and strong castle around the city to protect it and to prevent the vulnerability of wealth in form of gold and silver from the pirates.

The brand new city is made up of 38 blocks having cross sectioned design. Three avenues are administered from east to west and seven from north to south. Regrettably, this development was restricted by different blazes that distraught the streets.

Two third of the city was ruined by the ‘big fire’ in 1737. Then in 1756 ‘small fire’ ruined 90 plus houses of the city. These disastrous fires prove the existence of less Spanish colonial architecture.

In these tough conditions, castle managed to survive and make historical buildings are present but what makes highlights Casco Viejo among these historic buildings is its architecture.

French balconies and architecture is over imposed in the ancient Spanish colonial style. Currently, Casco Viejo’s architecture is an example of encouragement and fashion of buildings having age of 300 years.

Much More

In the starting years of twenty first century, Casco Viejo was considered as one of the most flourishing and prospering cultural meeting point.

But as we all know later in this century, technology began to develop more, urban cities are becoming more and more modern by passing of each year.

Just like this, Panama City too developed enormously making mode of transportation easier and comfortable. All this growth somehow declined the status of Casco Viejo. As transportation modes improved, streets and boulevards of Casco Viejo got narrower.

Buildings of Casco Viejo are also very old in designing and structure and are incomparable to today sky buildings touching. In the middle 1900s, Casco Viejo completely lost its status and soon became area for poor tenement style lodging.

Now the area is again transforming into different shape. Many investors are investing in this land and opening restaurants and bars. Tourism is boosting. Many people are too looking for lands to make it their permanent residence.

Casco Viejo was labeled as patrimony of humanity in 1997 by UNESCO. Presently too the place is honored and valued as remarkable part of Panama City. Two and three story houses with the ornamented galleries neglect the contracted streets.

The bonus point of Casco Viejo is French Park. In the park, French embassy and headstone of tough French builders is made. Las Bovedas, a Spanish building, is placed on one side. This building is now an art gallery along with French restaurant. Panama’s Supreme Court was also once located here.

A very nice pathway is built on surroundings of headstones. This pathway offers stunning view of Amador Causeway, Bridge of the Americans and Panama City’s skyscraper skyline.

In addition to the buildings and other places discussed above, Casco Viejo also has some admirable museums. Museo de Canal is one if these museums. Here you can get closer look to history of Panama, how Panama acts as a connector between Atlantic and the Pacific?

How this role of connector has transformed from pre-Hispanic to modern times. Then the National History Museum and National Cathedral is located. Near to it is a very small museum devoted to religious talent. This small museum was built in old Santo Domingo Monastery.

This is the place where popular Flat Arch is placed. It was said that this arch convinced engineers about the fact that Panama is an earthquake proof and geographically stable area to build the canal. If you take few steps from this place, you will find old San Jose church.

The church is adorned with glossy spires inlaid with mother of pearl. Appealing gold altar is imprinted of woods and is covered with gold. This is the place that you should not miss at any cost when visiting Casco Viejo.

Another appealing fact about Casco Viejo is that it is a residence to presidential house. Plan a visit of it on Sunday as it is close for public on weekdays. Panama is also a home to many sons and daughter of Panama, actors and actresses. Panama’s tourism minister Ruben Blades and boxer Roberto Duran also live here.

If you think you are a good bargainer, then Salsipuedes is the bazaar for you. The word Salsipuedes means “GET OUT IF YOU CAN”. This bazaar is weird in its own way. It is located just before the entrance of Casco Viejo and streets of this bazaar are so constricted and full of merchants that there is dark in day time. By walking few steps from this bazaar, you get to visit Santa Ana’s Plaza. Here you can know your destiny by paying $5 only.

Banquet at the Bristol

You must be tired and exhausted by now. So why not finish your day in classy The Bristol Hotel. It’s a short drive in cab from Casco Viejo. The dinner at the Barandas Restaurant of The Bristol Hotel is definitely relaxing and enjoyable.

Any deviation from these plans can become reason for causing the serious fights. It is also found that many couples dig out that they do not want to continue living with each other after having holidays. And these breakups are attributed to those reasons which you avoid in the normal life.

Holidays are the most valued time which you have and that is the reason you have intense feelings for it. Emotions are at peak on the holidays and so does the expectations. If holidays are not planned properly than unrealistic expectations can lay the ground for unnecessary fights.

And the results can be disastrous. Your all the desires to have a peaceful and relaxing holiday will push you towards unwanted stress and it will result in the complete waste of time and money, as well.

These tips will not only guide you in making the successful holidays but also let you look at your partner when you will get back to the normal life. These are explained below:

1. First thing you must ensure that both of you wants to visit the same places. Decide about the same interest. Of course, you cannot take your girlfriend over the hiking at Himalaya, if she wants to go for the beaches in Thailand.

If you both are not having the same ideas for going on holidays, then it is better not to go with each other. In this case, separate holidays can be the best solution and this will ensure save relationship as well. Do not force other person, just for the sake of your desire.

You both should learn compromising and with the mutual understanding decide about the place to be visited. Mostly for the couples, resorts are the best places where they can enjoy scuba diving, beaches, hiking, drinking and many other things.

Holidays highlights those hidden parts of your partner’s life that you would not be able to judge in the normal life. You should discuss with your partner about his or her desires for holidays, before making any hotel and ticket booking.

You should give your partner a chance to raise her likes and dislikes. But, if you think that your partner would be pleased in making compromise on the destination you have selected, then it is completely their problem. You should go ahead before asking your partner.

It is a fact that two people cannot be alike. You have other topic of interest and likeness, than your partner. That is why, both of you should try to dig out those things that can be done by both of you and that are enjoyed by both of you.

When you both are on the same holidays, make it sure that you both are together. Do not go alone for enjoying the quest at the tallest redwood. Do not even force your partner for going to the Cambodian orphanages when they do not want to go.

2. The next thing that must be taken care of is money. You should divide the money with yourself. Map navigation and money are the two most common things that can result in creating tension. Money is, no doubt, the most crucial one. This division also ensures your safety in the case, if you are lost and want to hire a room for the night.

It is a common nature that in every couple one person acts as spender while other depends over him. This thing can become the reason of problem when one person is of shy nature in spending the money and other person wants to get everything that fits the suit case.

Budget Travel Tips: Six Mistakes to Avoid When Traveling With Friends and Family! (BSM)

A Guide to Africa [Part 2]

2011-11-03T00:14:00.000-07:00

While you are travelling to Africa, you must need to take care of yourself.

By knowing some important things that are explained below, you can make sure that you have taken all the precautionary measures during your stay at Africa.

Money:

There are not much facilities in the banking system of Africa. Not all the countries allow you to use your credit and current bank cards.

Make preparations by discussing with your bank as the last place travelled by me was Uganda and I could just withdraw my cash through credit card from only the Barclays Bank Branch at Kampala road. While UK bank cards can be used in machines in Kenya.

Travelers’ cheque must be ignored. They are rarely accepted and are greatly used in fraudulent activities. Before travelling, they are not exchangeable with local currency and getting good exchange rates is not probable.

Cash in British Pounds, US Dollars or Euros is a good choice. Take however amount you need of Us Dollars with 100 – 200 extra for uncertainty as this currency is widely acceptable even more than Pounds or Euros so take some as safe-side.

Out of the capital cities, banks usually accept only Dollars and even Africans immediately accept US Dollars from foreigners. Get the US Bills dated after 1999 as after the Iraq wars bills dated 1999 are widely fake so unaccepted.

You need not to put all your money at the same place. Divide it in different pockets for safety purpose. You can even use the African style of putting in socks. Ask your hotel, if they have any security for money and passports as some big ones have safe in each room.

Travel Insurance

Don’t think just take it. I used petrol to light up barbecues and so set on fire, once in a visit to South Africa, along with a gunpoint robbery which took everything even my passport in central Johannesburg.

Then a Xhosa local carried me which contained a semi-conductor pistol for every moment’s use. these insurances are available having “World Wide” policies.

Cultural Awareness

The local people will have perceptions about you for being a foreigner e.g. if from west then richness. They have a mindset that a white is very rich and own a dollar tree in his garden and he does have money to spend on expensive hotels so they will charge you a lot. Keep a local with you if you are alone. You can keep a taxi driver with you as it’s the best choice.

Whatever is done by you must be fair. Knowing about all these people doesn’t mean you try to disgrace them or devalue them. Don’t treat the Africans like they are duffer or idiots. Treat them with respect by using descent language, for example, these Africans don’t like swearing and you will suddenly notice a sign of disagreement on their face.

Visa

You might need to have a visa for travelling to an African country. It’s very important if your country isn’t in good relations with your visiting country. You need to buy it in advance from your home country or after reaching the border as it would be troubling for you waiting in queues in case your flight is indirect.

Visa price would be at least $65, varies with the change in the visiting country. Often, visa issuance is for three months but can be changed according to your stay.

Avoiding Trouble

There are some measures to be taken after or before getting into trouble.

Information: you need to tell all your family and friends about your departure day, your return and your staying place. You need to inform the embassy or consulate about the details of your stay when you reach there in the country.

Documents: you need to take the documents along with their photocopies, in case the original get missing you can prove your identity and can claim a replacement immediately. You must have to put one copy in home. Driving-license is good to take with you. The compulsory documents which you must take with you are: any visas you need and the identity page.

Mobile phones: you need to have your phone network unlocked so that you buy a local SIM, cost around 10 pounds and activate it to inform your family back via SMS, and they call you back using cheap international call rates. Store your local embassy or consulate number to get their access if necessary.

Money: in case you have been a victim of robbery then you must need immediate cash to spend to meet needs there. So western union is the best growing network and it’s all spread in Africa. You will just have to ask someone in your home country to send you and text you relating details.

But, still you will be asked for some ID to make sure of your identity. For example it would be like, “what’s your dog called?”

Police: you need to be very polite with police officers, as there are a lot of them who are not being paid a handsome amount so they claim to have some money as bribe.

So, if something happens to you and you are at right then you don’t need to worry about that. You just need to say them to talk to your ambassador or consul.

But in case, you are accused of doing something wrong then it would be taken as illegal and breakage of law. In this situation you will surely need to give them whatever amount will settle the case.

Still we advise you NOT TO BREAK ANY COUNTRY’S LAWS. These laws are different from different countries so you must need to have the common knowledge of the laws of the country where you go.

Let’s give you an example, homosexuality is considered illegal in most of the countries of Africa. This all information is available in the country reports, as well, so that you can have a better view about facts.

2011-11-01T00:11:00.000-07:00

Here is a bundle of greetings for you if you are going to visit Africa for the first time in your life but if you have already been there before then skip all this.

If you are going for the first time on holidays or if you got to know someone from a Dating site which is an African site or any other and you want to go Africa to meet her/him then this all would help you a lot.

The first thing which you need to be really happy for is you can afford to go Africa otherwise there are lots of people who cannot even think of this. As it’s not a direct flight so expensive too so they think of the other cheap and time taking ways.

What is your mode of going there? Having family there? Going to meet someone? Or going to enjoy a package tour? Whatever reason is there you must need to be careful for your safety.

How are you travelling?

If you are going to meet a person and along with that you are alone then you must have to be very careful if you don’t know that person really well and that person is not trustworthy according to you. In case, you think so then you have to do some measures to save yourself if you face any trouble.

You must have the phone number of your country embassy with you. First you need to do some bookings like a hotel booking. You can do it through email as some hotels accept email bookings but it would be good if you will use an international cheap call and make reservation through phone.

Try not to book in very expensive and strict hotels like Sheraton or Holiday Inn as they may extra charge you for taking guest to your room.

Health

Going to Africa needs some precautionary measures before. You might be exposed to some hazardous risks. The most common diseases which can take you over are Malaria and HIV/AIDS.

You must need to visit your travel clinic, GP or a doctor but do it a few weeks before going as the measures will take some time otherwise you will have to find some private travel clinic. It doesn’t matter whether your origin is Africa but you might be still not to the latest viruses or diseases.

As all the bugs become more powerful with passing years and human despite of being of the same origin cannot remain potentially powerful for the same things.

Malaria

Before travelling you need to analyze or research for the area that whether it’s having any kind of infection creating creatures. So if you are going to visit some malarial area then you need to prevent yourself with the help of proper medication by the prescription of the doctor.

Get to know all the symptoms regarding malaria so that if you’ll catch it then you will be able to figure out its symptoms. These symptoms generally are: headache, nausea, fever, vomiting and flu. These symptoms will not remain the same for every type of malaria causing specie.

The time between you get bite by a malarial mosquito and the appearance of its symptoms can be from one week to several months so if you get into any of its symptoms after coming back from your trip then you must have to inform your doctor from whom you are getting treated that you have been to a malarial-area.

Sexual Health

Now talking about the activeness of you sexually, if you are active then you need to strictly make the use of condoms sure. African condoms are good but most of the people disgrace them even they are cheap as well.

Diseases like HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea are really common and get transmitted in this contact. HIV/AIDS is just a killing disease straight away. Get your all tests done if you are going to start your married life but in the mean while take care.

In case, you or your partner gets into the trouble of HIV/AIDS then you need not to take it to your heart. There are lots of organizations out there who will help you get rid of this disease.

They will offer you different courses and you will be free to choose according to your will. You will find much more information regarding this issue time to time on this site.

Country Background

There is a lot of information available on the internet for the travelers about different countries in detail. The best available information is from Foreign and commonwealth office in UK and the US department of state. You need to just read them but not to take their effect deeply as if you do so, you will not be able to do travelling.

There is a tradition from bureaucrats that they always degrade foreign and appreciate the indigenous. Let’s give you an example. Al-Qaida attacked both of the countries Spain and Bali but the fact is you will find warnings for not going to Bali as there are terrorist activities but you will not find the same for Spain.

The reason behind all this is that no government will want itself sued for giving wrong advices. If you think that you must take the government’s advice and while following it you visit some country which is advised by your government and in case you get bombed, you do have the right to sue your government.

These advices are not purely right for example there has been no evidence about the Kenyan people that they roam around with drugged sweets and try to put them in any foreigner’s mouth but still there is a statement from the FCO that “Do not accept food or drink from strangers as it may be drugged". One should take it as a rumor based on some old fake story.

Still, I don’t want to have any risk of giving false statements. You should read all this valuable information and warnings as they depict the reality to some extent. Take a lot of care for you and you must have the knowledge of health, visa requirements and all the things which are prohibited and allowed.

Second part of the story of Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

2011-10-30T00:02:00.000-07:00

David’s father was working at Princeton as an engineer and wrote a diary of all the truths what happened there.

After his death, David told me about those happenings by inviting me at his home at lunch time on Saturday. He knew that I always researched for the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard reality.

When David’s father reached at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, he found everything got changed. The group which came for the project was instructed to make a system whose work was to demagnetize ships to make the, invisible for radar.

There were some things written in that diary which David ignored and then proceeded. His father started to work on a experiment and reached the middle of it on a moored ship. Some junior officers were selected out to take care of the experiment and they were only there on the ship.

When the tests for equipments were ongoing, there happened something bad. The structure of the area was filled with strong magnetic fields and open electronic circuits.

One of the junior officers fell on the floor while the power got shut down after he got suddenly touched to an open circuit and got electrocuted. As he was not burned and was alive, with heart beating so he took by the technicians to the Naval Shipyard Hospital.

He got well and came back to the place after passing some hours at the hospital. He was perfectly alright. Still, to make sure, he was been seen by David’s father and another member and they went to him to ask about his health.

They noticed that even they didn’t reach near him, suddenly he entered a hatchway and at a particular corner he got vanished. Because of the project, it was not a big thing that someone got invisible as it was very normal inside the ship.

When reasonable hours passed and there was no information of the young officer then a team spread around in the ship and other ships as well and searched for him for a long time but all in vain. Still, they didn’t end up. A search was conducted which was more deep than the previous one on the next day but still there was nothing found about the young officer.

The higher in charges questioned from David’s father and the other member about the young officer as they saw him going into the hatchway. The higher authorities couldn’t blame them for anything as they seemed to know about all the details of that incident.

There would be a big trouble for the Navy if he would have been vanished by his wish, as it would become a risk for them to have their projects and details of internal information leaked out. They officially announced that the young officer would have fallen off the board because he would have a belated reaction to the electrocution.

But the reality was that the superstructure of the ship melted in the young officer or some ethereal realm floated him in. after this incident, a number of same incident with different people was seen as a result of the tests taken for testing the technologies of the Philadelphia experiment.

After telling me all this from the diary, David stopped and started staring with questioning eyes at me. He was really blank like he didn’t know what to say now. In that situation I couldn’t even move my lips, was out of words.

He told me that he read everything for the very first and very last time to share that all with me. I gave him back the photo album. He put that on the diary and put them in the box and locked it. When I was returning, I was barely be able to get the answer to a single question out of the million questions in my brain.

Feeling sad to tell that David was no more a few years ago. His death was very unexpected as he died due to an automobile accident and couldn’t survive. So, he couldn’t do any preparations for his will.

After his death, I came to meet some of his relatives and asked them if they know about a box or an album and a diary which belonged to David but sadly they even got surprised and told me that there wasn’t anything like that in David’s belongings. As he died so the agreement for keeoing the information ended up.

A year passed after David left these shocks to my brain, I found some people and they were all having the same story as David’s.

Their names were Al Bielek, Preston Nichols and Duncan Cameron. They told me that they were all a part of the projects which were done at Montauk Force Station. The technologies which were used in all these projects were developed from the Philadelphia experiment. These technologies included: invisibility, time travel, mind control, remote viewing and psychic war fare.

I knew some people who needed to know about their claims and also wanted to record a film of their testimony so I had a lot of conversation with Bielek, Nichols and Cameron on call and at last they agreed to discuss whatever they knew with those people.

When they all gathered and had meeting, there was a lot of stunning information of about 12 hours with a four hours solid information conclusion.

A person who came with me was a technical writer and was writing for the government projects from a long time so had experience. I asked him to use his experience for giving an opinion. He contacted me after a long time, saying he couldn’t even sleep thinking of all that.

At last government didn’t let anyone to draw a clear picture of what happened through the Philadelphia experiment and the Montauk project. Anyone who do not know anything about this, will surely get astonished for knowing about the world of secret government projects and technologies. Still, despite of not letting anyone conclude anything, government can’t prove it all false.

The Closing and Reuse of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

First part of the story of Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

2011-10-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

The story is about when a huge radar dish was being noticed by me which is used to identify the base, when that was my first time at historic Montauk Lighthouse.

My father who was a retired Air Force Officer, told me this story. Now I am going to narrate the story to you guys, so that you can also have an insight about project Montauk.

He told me about the radar that it’s part of some machine whose work was to detect the aircrafts from the enemies, when I asked him about that at the age of 8. Seeing the present I can surely say about his unawareness of that machine’s future bad reputation.

Long island technical community were offering jobs in the cold war days but if you had the qualification so that’s why a number of my friends were working there.

Having your parent or some relative in that field is also qualification to some extent, for example, David. His father served the government or government contractors till the end of his life since the Second World War. That gave David the advantage to enter in that company as an engineer as his father worked there for all of his life.

I thought myself to be very near to the details of the Philadelphia experiment until 1987 as I worked and researched on that with the help of second and third hand witnesses.

David asked me to come to the lunch to give the coworkers knowledge about UFOs. The company used to arrange midday events once in a month to lessen the caring employees stress as they were working in really stressful environment.

When we were done with the discussion of UFO sightings and reports, I asked for everyone’s queries and comments. They were a lot. Most of the people had seen the UFO themselves. I asked for the interest in Philadelphia experiment from all of them as there raised a question on that, as it was going to take 20 – 30 minutes. Everyone agreed.

I had a sketch about the World War II Navy project, a sort of thumbnail sketch and took help from that to explain those people about the change of a simple degauss battleships program into a massive project of making the ships invisible.

There was an evidence for them to believe that truth as the scientists and engineers made a ship invisible while they were all working for Princeton and the project was supervised and headed by Einstein. During these experiments they got lead to the open space time portal.

Philadelphia Naval shipyard along the east cost of United States was the chosen spot for these experiments. A crew was placed at a battleship escort vessel. This test crew watched out for the sea trials of that new technology during the trial and error process.

It was such a technology which took lives of many people and never worked as it had to. It raised a lot of questions rather than answers to them.

David was really great full to me when he called me at night for making the event interesting and knowledgeable from my speech. I was glad to know from him that everyone got inclined to that and chose that for discussion for the rest of the day.

He also told me that those who didn’t attend that event were regretting. With agreeing that I did my best to convey them all what I knew about the UFO sightings, I thanked him as well. After all that conversation between us, he asked me to come alone to his home on Saturday as he had to discuss something with me regarding my investigations and research. I accepted his invitation.

It was Saturday and I was at his door. The time was afternoon 2. When I came in with his invitation he seemed all tired. He told me to wait in the living room while he came after some time from the basement. He rushed as he had to bring something. A lockbox was with him on his return. It had a photo album which he gave me.

Telling you about David’s father, he was a mastermind engineer. His mind was designed for designing much complicated machines and electronic devices.

Comparing him with most of the professionals, he was even better than them as he had two hobbies: Radio and electronics. For my Philadelphia experiment research, both of his talents were really helpful.

There was a diary in David’s hand. He told me to carefully listen to that what he will read. In early 1940s his father used to write that. Then he told me that he won’t tell me everything as there was something very personal.

So to do this, some pages were being chosen by him and others got ignored. I greatly thanked him for taking me that worthy while understanding him as well.

There were a lot of pages from which he read pages which had a total around 10. There were no mentioning of any kind of names and specifications. Still there was written about the World War Project II. It was written that he was at Princeton working there on a special project during that war.

Albert Einstein personally recommended some of the engineers who were meant to work for that project, David’s father was one of them. He got connected to the Navy. This project was about a system of magnetic detection devices which was being prepared and developed to save the harbors from the ships and submarines which used to infiltrate them.

A multi-faceted system contained it as a part. This multi-faceted system included radar, hydrophones, magnetic detection devices and other machines. This was the detail told to him by them.

The thrill and adventure is still not ended here. You can find many interesting fact about the above mentioned story by reading the next part of article. So, read the next part and enjoy the amazing story.

Health Information For Traveler [Part 2]

2011-10-24T02:16:00.000-07:00

The most common diseases in travelers are diarrhea, malaria, diseases through accidents, wound infections and diseases which transmit via sex.

Malaria is the disease which mostly attacks travelers in such an area which is malaria-infested. When a person has an accident by automobile or by swimming, he gets wounds, if they don’t get proper care, catch diseases.

Diarrhea is such a disease which attacks a person when he uses unhygienic, contaminated food and impure water for drinking purpose. Everyone needs to be careful for drinking or eating, in case he is travelling through malaria infested areas in unhygienic conditions.

You must have to take keen precautions to save yourself. These precautions are not very different or out of the way. You just need to do the same care which you do at your home. If you get any wound while swimming or in any other activity then you need to clean it using some kind of antiseptic, as when the wound is not free of septic it will actively catches infections.

Malaria is a disease, whose basic reason is mosquitoes. So to protect yourself from malaria, you first need to save yourself from having interaction with mosquitoes. You need to have some simple and quick precautions.

1. TRAVELLER'S DIARRHEA

Most of the diseases relating to intestines are caused by intake through mouth and hands. little care to save yourself from all these illnesses is needed. Some diseases like hepatitis A, typhoid fever, polio and cholera exist in countries where there is no hygiene. But still everyone can save his self.

When you travel through some place you will get a light or little dangerous type of traveler’s diarrhea. Although, traveler’s diarrhea doesn’t get stick to you for a long time, still it is sort of irritating. In addition, it is a big risk for your health and ruins your travel.

For the treatment of this disease, the first thing is to stop dehydration. The treatment for protecting yourself from the upcoming symptoms is really necessary so that the number of bowel movements can be reduced and so the other symptoms like fever, vomiting and stomach cramps won’t irritate you. In some cases, there comes a serious stage of diarrhea, which it needs a treatment with antibiotics, or the hospitalization is needed or replacement of fluid becomes compulsory and can’t be ignored.

The main reasons for getting caught in this disease are:

-Raw vegetables and fruits, which you didn’t peel off by yourself and ate

-use of the dairy products which are uncooked or unpasteurized

-use of improperly cooked sea food and meat causes Hepatitis A

-use of “local meals” which are not usually fresh and smell stale

-use of ice cream which is being purchased from the street merchants instead the industrial ice which come from deep-freeze is comparatively hygienic

You just need to take some primary measures to have your trip a successful one. You can’t save yourself from traveler’s diarrhea totally, as it’s impossible because the precautions for saving yourself from traveler’s diarrhea are not possible to be followed all the time.

But if you want to reduce the danger for getting caught by this disease, you must need to follow these measures for not contacting diarrhea. Wash your hands properly before taking anything and try not to eat to have a nice trip.

It is considerably important to sterilize water before drinking. It is not possible to fully disinfect water but a little sterilization can reduce the risk for the contamination to a great extant and safeguards your health while travelling.

The serving of meals must be at the time when they are hot. Another thing to consider is the place where you are going to eat. If you are eating from a stall then you will be inviting a greater risk. But if you are eating from a restaurant it would be comparatively hygienic. But avoid it even if the place is having a great number of insects.

You need not to use tap water and ice-cubes. Try to use bottled water and soft drinks as they are safe. Don’t use those bottle caps which are used before.

-It is very effective to use boiled water.

-Chemically disinfect the water by chlorine drops (e.g. Hadex, Drinkwell chloor; available in sport shops specialized in outdoor activities) or chlorine tablets (Certisil Combina; chloramine tablets; available at the pharmacy). You need to first filter the water to get a better effect. Silver salts (Micropur, Certisil Argento) are not much good but they have an advantage that they keep the water disinfected for a long time.

The travelers who travel for adventure needs to buy a portable filter for their health to get not affected by the impurities and germs in water. It is not get appreciation to use the antibiotics before having any attack of any disease rather it would be hazardous to health. Don’t use any preventive medications.

Treatment of diarrhea

To prevent dehydration, liquid and salt must be used. Lemon tea, broth, soft drinks or fruit juice mixed with salt crackers (ORS-solution) are good.

Indication of Antibiotics:

Anti-diarrhea solution helps lowering the bowel movements. Imodium can only be given to adults or big children for treatment of watery diarrhea. The maximum 4 capsules with each after a loose movement is allowed.

1. If there is mucus, blood or pus exist in the stools.

2. In 24-48 hours, no improvement is seen or there is fever or bad intestinal cramps or the number of stools is more than 6 per 24 hours.

3. Antibiotics are strictly prohibited unless prescribed by the doctor. If you are travelling, quicker solution can be given immediately.

Surely you will be finding this article most helpful and informative. If you will be keeping yourself updated with these sort of medical related information, you will no doubt be able to keep yourself and your surroundings, health and prosperous. Enjoy your holidays and remain healthy and safe.

When you are on the traveling, the precautionary measures from some disease become necessary. It will help you and your family to stay healthy.

The information and precautionary measures of some diseases are mentioned in this article. This information will surely help you out in keeping yourself away from the unwanted diseases. Let’s have a review over them:

1. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES:

When someone is abroad on a holiday then the inclination towards sex is high. Travelers are at risk from the disease AIDS, which is mainly a problem these days. It transmits during the sexual contact and cause major threat to the lives of people involved.

The use of alcohol increases during the traveling and alcohol is the thing whose influence makes a person attracts towards unplanned or unsafe sex. The protections against sex are the same as at home. The use of condom is compulsory in this contact.

The use of lubricant is good but it should be water soluble, still it doesn’t provides full guarantee (e.g. KY gel). You must take vaccines against hepatitis B. If you feel a little that you are at risk then do not be late and visit some doctor even you don’t see any symptoms for that.

2. MALARIA (swamp fever, malaria):

Malaria’s symptoms are more like simple influenza’s symptoms at its initial stage. But if you don’t care for the proper treatment of malaria in time, it will may become a cause for the death in some days.

Malaria is such a disease which is transferred to a human when he is get bitten by an Anopheles mosquito and gets a parasite in his body named as Plasmodium. Malaria has two types.

The one which is really harmful is falciparum malaria. It gets spread really quickly. What is an incubation period – it is the time period between getting bit by a mosquito and the appearance of the disease’s symptoms. This disease has 10 – 15 days incubation period.

Malaria occurs through Anopheles mosquitoes and these exist in the tropical and subtropical areas in a large number. Areas whose heights start from 1.500 – 2.500 m contain these creatures. These mosquitoes are very rare or even barely exist depending upon the temperature and climate of that area.

Where does malaria occur?

These mosquitoes exist in Asia in the suburbs of the big cities, for example, India, but their presence differs from season to season. As they have different seasons to appear.

In Africa there does exist a great risk for this disease but most big cities are free of this risk and its infection.
How can we prevent ourselves from malaria?

The time for Anopheles mosquito to bite is between dusk and dawn so the travelers need to be very careful at these times that they avoid its bite. This creature is very small and doesn’t makes any noise of its existence.

There are some repellents for mosquitoes in which DEET are not much examined. The products which ensure safety to a great extent are Autan-Active and Mosegor.

Try to cover your arms and legs fully with light-colored clothes mostly at nights and in the evenings. Moreover, apply DEET based repellent (20 – 50% for children and 20 – 30% preferably for pregnant woman) with regular intervals of 2 – 6 hours. Due to this regular application, it cannot properly protect you at night.

These are the measures which must be fully taken to reduce malaria’s risk up to 80 – 90% and you can maintain your travel health.

If you sleep in rooms then you will not get bitten through mosquitoes. Try to use mosquito nets on the sills. Turn on the electrically-warmed anti-mosquito plates and the air conditioners. The best thing is to use a mosquito net which contains permethrine or deltamethrine and it hangs over the bed and you sleep under it with tucking its edges under the mattress.

Taking pills to prevent yourself from malaria

There does not exist any drug whose intake can protect you from getting caught from malaria. So take some combination of precautionary measures to have a safe side. The drugs have changed with the passing years.

When taking drugs for protection against malaria, consider the advantages and disadvantages of the drugs while saving yourself from the infection of malaria.

The risk for getting infected by this disease depends on the following things: visited country, and on the region, the season, the duration of your stay and the type of the trip.

Consult the doctor when you are going to use any kind of drug, because just only the doctor is the person who can best prescribe any medicine for you. A big reason for the individuals belonging to a same group using medicines and ending up their lives like this is the use of improper medicines.

Sometimes it happens that while protecting yourself from malaria you take anti-malarial drugs but on the other hand you find troubles in return. These drugs are not always a reason to stop taking them as they are mild and not hard in nature.

Some people are allergic from some drugs because of their composition and some finds different intolerant symptoms when they take some particular medicine. Some people need to switch from one medication to another because of the intestinal problems.

At last, it’s seen that there doesn’t exist any drug which can be a 100% protection against malaria. Travelers must take a fever, which they get between the three months after they come back from tropics, an infection of malaria.

They must start its treatment as soon as possible when they even feel a little symptom for that rather than taking the previously prescribed medicine which is for the prevention of malaria.

The thing to care is the treatment of malaria in time so that it would be easy to treat the infection without having the danger of serious fever attacks. It’s very superstitious and false statement that “once malaria always malaria”.

I hope this information will proof to be the best in saving your lives from the deadly diseases.

PDQ Travelers' Malaria

Travel For Peace: An Interview With Pablo Chufeni Servas Traveler

2011-10-20T02:10:00.000-07:00

Canada-US Servas Conference was held in Vancouver and it was the start of August. Servas is an organization whose motto is “Travel for peace”.

This organization’s hosts and travelers are in over 130 countries for promoting inter-cultural understanding and tolerance.

I attended that conference and met one of the volunteers of that organization, whose work for the organization is commendable. I got a lucky hour to spend with him and asked a set of questions.

1.    You have been tackling and controlling Servas with much creativity from a reasonable time which includes the language opportunity for the young people of Servas. Let us know about the language learning opportunity that has been initiated by you while working for Servas.

Servas South America arranged an essay contest in 2003, which had the topic “The role of Servas” in which I got participation and got the first position.

After that, being a contest winner, I was allowed to attend the Youth South American meeting which was held at Montevideo (Uruguay). Along with that I went to Santa Teresa (Uruguay) where work for 3 days activity was ongoing. I met Camile Costa there who belonged to Sao Paulo (Brazil) who took the classes to learn Spanish for Chile.

There my mind clicked at the point of giving Servas young people, Servas as a platform for learning languages by the idea of exchanging their languages.

This program is designed as having four modules, along with their classes. The class duration was one and a half hour weekly. The modules were as follows; A) Language - B) Arts - C) Social - D) Special Events. All the young people who took the classes of these programs are able to fully know about their host society.

2.    We heard of your first international youth meeting of Servas, which is going to be held in the southern hemisphere at an amazingly beautiful resort of Bariloche in Argentina in the third week of January in 2006. Let us know more about this.

This conference will start on 15th January and will be continued till 22nd January, 2006. PATAGONIA ’06 is the first international youth conference going to be held in Bariloche in Argentinean Patagonia. This place is simply beautiful which will add for the youth to attract and attend this conference. No one will stop from coming to this event.

Patagonia ’06 doesn’t restrict age. It is for all the people who want to know about the projects in Servas regarding the issues of youth and help in developing them, they are most welcome.

The cost of this conference is US $160 which includes meals 4 times a day, participation in all the activities and accommodation in bungalows or tents according to the availability (no transportation from BsAs included).

This conference is going to help us bring the position of youth up in Servas. There are a number of different topics which will be discussed in this meeting.

These includes the development of youth position, to access more and more young people, the discussion on the improvement of the ongoing projects and start for new projects, the betterment of the local ativities in the international group, the involvement of young people in these activities, the feasible programs that we can start to implement on, and all of the current issues relating to youth in Servas.

3.    As you are currently having your hands full, still you are thinking to serve Servas more in a way that will help the youth from all over the world. Let us know about your idea of giving the youth the opportunity of internship and job.

This is one of my near future projects. Right now my goal is to achieve the maximum at PATAGONIA ’06 and in the exchanges among international youth. Then I will definitely take the Servas network as a helpful platform for providing youth in abroad the opportunity to add experience to their lives and to use their skills in a better way.

4.    We also heard about the local “diversity meals” which you use to host. Tell us about them and the reason for arranging them.

This was the idea of Mary Jane which I heard at the Servas office situated in United States. She was in conversation with me and told me about this activity. in San Francisco, they use to arrange meals at the houses of different Servas members and then host them where a large number of people listen to them. So I liked this idea and did the same in youth branch of Servas in Argentina.

In our diversity meals, we create such an environment where everyone forgets about the differences between them, although they do belong to a variety of cultures and do have different educational backgrounds.

The basic purpose of these meals is to promote tolerance and understanding through international travel and with local participants as well. It is not compulsory to visit Bali or Nicaragua to have an understanding of this world instead it can be done with our neighbors next door.

5.    What are your activities when you are not voluntarily working for the sake of good?

If I speak very honestly, I don’t use to get free time for myself. I do have to continuously work on Servas projects at night, so even my emails are sent emails at improper timings. I have to go to gym daily as physical fitness is necessary to work hard.

Moreover, my mother is having a life-long medical condition, so whenever she needs, I have to stay with her all the time.

6.    Tell us about your upcoming plans regarding travelling or others.

It is really challenging for me to find the activities which I can be involved in like my current activities but I have to keep this fact in my mind that I also have to earn livelihood.

One day, if I would be able to earn money to comply with my economic needs along with working for Servas and for any other NGOs, at that day, I will be really contended and glad.

Sometimes I really feel that I would be doing much good things if I would not be working for Servas, feels like my time gets wasted. But this is my personal challenge.

Thank you, Pablo. We are great full to you for giving us your precious time to share all your volunteer activities we wish you best of luck for your upcoming events like international youth language exchange program and Servas youth conference PATAGONIA ’06. You are truly serving for the man kind for promoting intercultural tolerance and peace for the next generation.

Motorcycles Offer Cheap Motorized Travel and Recreation for All Genereation

2011-10-18T02:06:00.000-07:00

As we all know that inflation is rising day by day. Prices of everything, from grocery items to medicines and from the gas to the transportation items, are rising.

Gas price of vehicles has also been affected by this inflation. There are no chances, in the near future for these prices to go down. That is why, everyone should be very careful in their spending and unnecessary expenses.

This is the common concept that if something is bigger than it is better. This concept also applies on vehicles. But, let me tell you that it is not necessary that this concept is always right. Go back and review the high-center problems of SUV’s that occurred almost ten years back.

The most important fact that must be remembered is that big vehicles are not only costly to buy but also to operate. It can need more maintenance and repairs causing more pennies.

$80 only can be charged to fill the gas tank of bigger vehicle. While, the fuel expenses of the SUVs are quite less than the above mentioned cost. Another thing, if you are a frequent user of the big car, your fuel expenses may exceed from the $80.

How to use less fuel?

This was the topic that was roused by the Federal Government of America. They put special attention in solving the above mentioned problem. Government made and passed some laws, regarding this issue. They also instructed the auto manufacturers to make higher gas mileage rating in the vehicles. But, because of the political up and down, adjustments were made.

What caused the increase in current fuel price is the Washington exception on trucks and SUV’s from the higher gas mileage rule. Arnold Schwarzenegger would not be driving 15/10 mpg Hummer H2H if these exceptions were not made.

Youth knows it:

The thinking of youth has changed and finally they have started thinking different from their elders. Our today’s young generation understands that America should now start taking steps, in order, to decrease the dependency of borrowing fuel from other countries.

They believe in the concept of self dependency. They also understand the importance of safeguarding environment. As a result, youth themselves have started taking actions. They now prefer to buy automobiles with improved gas mileage.

They have labeler motor bike as feasible mode of transport, as it require less fuel consumption. Youngsters nowadays prefer to use bikes more than their daddy’s old car. You want prove of this then visit any college and university; you will find more bikes lined on road than cars.

Scooters on the Road, now:

Vespa Scooters are one of the current examples of gasoline powered scooters. These bikes are Italian made. The LX models of these bikes costs less than $5000, only. The speed of these scooters is from 70-80 mpg at near 60 mph. The scooters are working for six and half decades and so company is skilled in introducing this type of products.

The Riptide Scooter, the Sinclair Scooter, and the Wasp Scooter are examples of other models manufactured by an American organization GS Motor Works. In past, GS motor works have also sold the Euro Scooter, the Retro Scooter, and the Sport Scooter.

GS Company does not only sell other company’s manufactured bikes but manufactures its own stripe of scooters too. Their famous always charged Blur Scooters can cost you less and deliver the speed of 70 mph. Black Cat model of theirs 100 plus mpg with the speed of 30 mph.

The Buddy Scooter delivers 100 mpg and has a speed of 30 mph and 70 mph. Range of Stella scooter accessories is also provided by the Genuine Scooter Company.

Motorcycles Serve the Transportation Needs of All Generations of Riders:

There was a time when bikes were considers as a revolution in society. Now, bikes are so common that everyone from adolescent to those moving towards old age, men or women, everyone prefer to have motorbikes as a mode of transport.

People now prefer bikes more than cars as bikes are easy to operate, it can go wherever it wants. Additionally, it does not require much maintenance as required by the cars. You can wash it your own homes and can also change its fuels. It saves your cost of operation.

Another cost that can be saved by purchasing the bikes and scooters, is the initial investment cost. The initial cost of the bikes and scooters are much less than that of the cars.

So, you do not need to wait to collect the money for buying a vehicle for you. You can just simply go to the market and survey. Buy, the one that remains within your budget and enjoy your rides.

There is a difference between the scooter and the motorcycle. Where, high school and college going students prefer motorcycles, on the other hand, the elder people prefer scooter more.

At very young age of some people, dirt bikes were introduced and this is the time when those using dirt bikes loved it and loved the idea of having motorcycle than the car. Now when these people are elders, they are provided with vast range of bikes to choose from.

Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Harley Davidson and Kodiak are some of the recent brands manufacturing motorcycles. These companies manufacture bikes for each consumer group like standard motorcycle for the average rider, racing bikes for the adrenaline junkies, the touring bike for those riders who like to take long, leisurely rides across the country and the recreational dirt bike for those who like off-road riding.

These options have given opportunity to the every age group and each sex, to choose the one that meets their needs, as well as, suits their personality. People are also taking high interest in getting the new introduced bikes and scooters and they are becoming more aware about the new innovations. They always do market research before buying these bikes and scooters.

The Dry Beauty of Namibia

2011-10-16T02:04:00.000-07:00

Namibia is one of the driest countries of the world. You can also call it ‘dry beauty’ whose beauty lies in multi color landscapes, hills, sparkling fantasies and unfaithful dust devils who can appear anytime.

This obvious misery life is unreliable but somehow animals, plants, and human have adjusted themselves in this environment.

The country is perfect for those who are adventurous and ready for adventure anytime. Everlasting deserts, thorn bush savanna, deserted wind damage coastlines, imposing chasm, and sun baked saltpans are some surprises that traveler gets on reaching the country.

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s one of the top rated places. Birding experience and unsurpassable physical environment are most astonishing.

If you are visiting the place for first time then ballooning over the desert, skydiving over land and sea, paragliding, whitewater rafting and sand skiing are good options to start exploring with.

If you want to have something more enjoyable then go for abseiling, coastal and fresh water angling, desert camel riding, scuba diving, hiking and rock climbing are best options.

Namibia has four geographical regions. On north is Etosha pan popular for its wildlife. Between Zambia and Botswana is a slim Caprivi Strip which is a damp region accompanied with some rivers.

With the shoreline, Namibia desert is located. This desert is said to be oldest desert of world with the age of eighty million years old. At the shoreline is meeting of Atlantic with the burning African desert causing intense fogging in the area.

Namibia is half the size of France with the population of 1.8 million only. Just like the place, residents too are quite different. San also known as Bushmen are most fascinating among all. The people have all the knowledge about their surroundings.

Their environment is different and it is amazing to look how well they have accepted and adjusted to it. We can’t even imagine living without water for a day but it’s absolutely surprising to see these people living in conditions where water is not always available.

Today, population of Bushmen is 50,000. According to historians approximation, Bushmen have had been living as hunter and gatherers for last 25,000 years. Bushmen have their own language to communicate and have special in born skills of storytelling, imitation, and dance.

Other people of Namibia include Bantu who are natives of this place. It is said that they migrated from western Africa about 2,400 years ago. Owambo, Kavango, Caprivians, Herero, Himba, Damara, Nama and Tswana are other African group of people.

In the development of African nation, not only Africans have taken part but also 15% of other groups. Population of white Namibians is almost 120,000 and is mostly German and Afrikaners. Germans moved here in and after 1884 when the country was given a status of German’s territory by Bismarck.

While on the other hand, Afrikaners, mostly white Dutch, migrated to north from Cape ager the Dutch cape colony was surrendered to British in 1806. This people have characteristics of strong and independence and their ancestors disliked British.

Basters and Coloreds are two other groups of people that reside in Namibia. Colored in Namibia and South Africa are considered as people with mixed ethnic tradition as in black and white. These people have different individuality and background.

Namibia’s infertility and rude shorelines restricted European explorers. But in 1884, German merchant Adolf Luderitz settled permanently in between Namib Desert and Atlantic seaboard. Bismarck then confirmed the area covered by Namibia a German colony and called it South West Africa. It was expected that successors of land will clash when German settlers will move in land.

Herero were not very happy and content about the profession of Germans. Herero always dislikes the cruel and chauvinistic law of Germans and their violation and interference in African land, lives, and way of life. In early 1904, Herero unexpectedly rose in weapons against their colonial overlords.

Later this revolution was joined by Nama. Authorities were not able to control the situation in six months. Many German pioneers and armed forces died in this revolution.

Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha was given this authority to turn down the revolution. Rudolf Goering, who was the father of Herman Goering, was assigned as governor general of region. Lothar von Trotha had kind of thinking that became the policy of government under the third Reich. His argument was to demolish the Herero as a people and he did not care about women and children dying. In the end, many Nama and Herero died. Many awful things took place in camps of survivors.

The Story From The Mackinnon-cann Inn

2011-10-14T02:02:00.000-07:00

Last night was one of the nicest and peaceful nights I have spent. I can’t describe the satisfaction and comfort I get inside my soft high threaded count sheets and comforters of my house at Mackinnon-Cann.

Yesterday was quite hectic and that drive down the Evangeline Trail and tour to Bear River First Nation Heritage and Cultural Center followed by evening walk to Yarmouth’s Victorian heritage areas certainly made me exhausted.

But that day is gone, and new sun has arrived with new adventures and excitement.

Breakfast is the most important thing to have to start any day and so it was first on my list of the day. I got ready and dressed up and walked towards the adorned dining area of Mackinnon-Cann Inn.

Breakfast was being ready by one of the co-owners of Inn named by Neil Hisgen. He sometimes also stops at inn to see if guests are enjoying themselves. I chatted with him for almost ten minutes about Mackinnon-Cann and other properties.

He belongs to Racine, Wisconsin and has a family with six offspring. The man served six years of his life in navy but after very short time period he came back to home having a plan of settling down in Fort Lauderdale in Florida to make career in hospitality.

First work he did in this career was at front desk in Marriot Hotel. Then he worked for 18 years in different hotels to gain experience. The last job he did as an employee was as a general manager in some popular hotel.

As the year 1997 was approaching its end, Neil came across his life partner Michael Tavares who also happens to be his business partner. He earned quite well an amount on sell of his foremost house. They used the 200 acre land of Michael at peninsula as their vacation house. On the special invitation of Michael, Neil spent about a month of his life at farm near Yarmouth. Neil loved it as he always had cherished the seasons.

Together, Neil and Michael were exploring themselves and finally reached on a decision of opening a bed and breakfast in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. They got lucky when they found out a stunning Victorian residential district having countless restoration breaks. Now, Neil had to finish his work in kitchen and so Michael joined me and told me about his life.

Michael belongs to Boston and is raised in southern part of the Boston. His majors were education in college. Later after schooling, he switched his field to real estate and opened his own brokerage firm. He always found himself attracting to ancient buildings and proved this by narrating a childhood story.

When he was 12/13 years old, there was an old farm house located near his house. He always thought on who owns this place and lives in this place. He shared his views with his mother. Seeing his curiousness, his mother with him went to land registry to find out history of the farm house.

Then he took the document and went to the current owners of the place. He let them knew about history of the place. Owners loved it. From that time, Michael is in love with beauty and history of ancient properties. He converted his love in to his profession and started buying and restoring old buildings. He has restored eight buildings in the south end of Boston.

Later he shifted to Key West and started new career of landscape architect. There he lived for five-six years and completed some assignment of designing garden for gay community.

In the year 1980, he finally took the decision of buying 200 acre land and using it as vacation property in Nova Scotia. The relationship with Yarmouth had already started at that time. Michael later made Fort Lauderdale his permanent home and met Neil at fundraising event. They lived in for a year.

In 1988, Michael invited Neil to visit his land in Nova Scotia as they were planning to spend life together. Their relationship is almost eight years old and they have been living in Nova Scotia for same period of time. The first building they restored is Victorian brick mansion presently Charles C. Richards House.

In 1887, The Mackinnon-Cann was originally built and is an art of Italianate Victorian style. The house was basically built for two cousins. Presently too, the inn has two staircases side by side.

In 2000, Neil and Michael took the hold of building and transformed it into stunning and one of the beautiful manors. The manor is consisting of seven rooms; each is adorned in different and stunning style reflecting the interior of 20th century.

The main floor has five parlors and whole dining area is made of stunning wood floor. Neil himself is a glass artist and he himself has designed every glass window of Mackinnon-Cann.

Further, Michael told me how activate he is in Nova Scotia’s heritage community. He too is a member of two historic organizations.

He is also a board of director of the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia. The aim of this trust is to preserve the beauty of ancient buildings in the province.

Mackinnon-Cann Inn and the Charles C. Richards House; both are provincially registered heritage belongings. Michael also serves as a member of the Provincial Heritage Owners Association of Nova Scotia consists of 265 provincial heritage properties. Both the inns are also rewarded at several events.

In 2005, restoration award from the Yarmouth County Historical Society and L.B. Jenson Award was given to Michael and Neil for making great contribution in the development and economic health of Yarmouth Heritage Community.

Now a days, Michael is working on restoring another Victorian heritage property. He is planning to transform this building into a restaurant targeting tourist and local people of the community of Yarmouth.

Example of Neil and Michael’s recent work is blue-colored Victorian heritage property situated in middle of Mackinnon-Cann and Charles C. Richards House. In total, Michael and Neil have restored an entire street block, four historic places and have transformed these properties in beautiful architecture.

Michael Tavares also serves as the president of the Nova Scotia Association of Unique Country Inns. This marketing and branding group supports the endorsement of tourism in historic places. Michael looks in to marketing of inn and Neil takes care of hospitality and inn-keeping.

Michael has committed himself for the protection and restoration of old properties. He thoroughly respects historical properties. He starts and finishes all his projects with special care and feelings which according to him many renovators do not think about. According to Michael, if we want to safeguard our culture then we should start it by restoring ancient properties.

At the very same time, he is also concerned about future of his investments and as a member of Local Yarmouth Town Planning Council he aims to take active role in shaping the town’s future. Michael and Neil are definitely one of the important persons of town who have invested many dollars and countless hours in protecting heritage and business projects.

When Michael started his career in hospitality and in preserving old building in Yarmouth, he was not accepted immediately. He was an outsider, outspoken, and always questioning and arguing on old ways of doing works. New society took some time to accept Michael especially when he and Neil was a gay couple.

But once he was accepted, no doubts remained in believing his intentions for the betterment of society. He always gave local electricians, plumbers, carpet layers, etc a chance to work in transformation of old properties.

He made local workers his main supplier. This earned him the respect and trust of local merchants. He has earned such goodwill that people take his suggestions and advices before make important decision on important issues of the town.

After I was done with my yummy and healthy breakfast, Michael gave me special tour of all of his properties. The first on the list was smaller Victorian house. The house is under renovation. Michael is conducting himself his other assignments.

He himself will do all the architecture and call the specialized contractors only when needed. He definitely has an art of rescuing a property and turning it into most stylish and stunning property from bad looking almost ruined property.

Then we visited blue Victorian mansion which is recently restored. We finished the visits with Charles C. Richards House. The house is a striking Victorian brick mansion with elegant architecture. The building work was started in 1893 and completed over a period of two years. It was the first brick house that ever builds in Yarmouth.

Special material was used in building like brownstone, granite, and bricks especially imported from United States. Michael informed me about interesting fact that it took him one season to strip the layers of paint and thirty two weeks to repaint it.

Unique and stunning looks of each room is definitely admirable. The flower-filled conservatory adds more beauty to it. Before leaving the Inn, I requested for a photograph of Neil and Michael. They posed for me in front of beautifully wooden staircase which takes you to the rooms in upper floor.

I finally have now reached to the end of my beautiful and memorable journey of introduction to architectural preservation and heritage tourism in Yarmouth. I expressed my gratitude for welcoming me here and giving me all the details of their work.

I prepared myself for next journey ahead: exploration of Yarmouth history at the Yarmouth County Historical Museum situated right side of the street from Charles C. Richards House.

General Luggage Policies

The point which should be taken into notice is that when the total number of inches (e.g. 45”) is used to show the maximum size of any measurement then it means the total of inches show the total of the length, breath and height of that thing combined.

There are some defined dimensions which are used to standardize these totals (for an example, 22 x 14 x 9, standard for 45 inches) but in case you own a bag having irregular shape and it fulfills the total of the inches but still there is a risk of it being rejected. In most stores, there are bags with the name of “carry-on” but they don’t have the standard 45” inches size actually but larger than that.

The luggage stores not only but manufacturers also not measure these bags accurately. Most of the airlines accept the standard safe maximum size 45” with 22” x 14” x 9” as dimensions but some accept maximum 55”. They measure the inner size of the compartment usually leaving all the outer pockets, wheels and carry handle, which will only add to the number of total inches.

If your bag exceeds even one extra inch then you’ll have to try to squeeze and fit your bag into the luggage template by the gate. You’ll get on board having legal but a large sized carryon content.

If you find your overhead bins already full then you will have to fit your luggage under the front seat but it may not fit there, no matter your bag is under the standard size guideline of the airlines.

You’ll mostly find on the international airlines that the space under the front seat is getting really smaller and the reason is they have fit electronic boxes under to entertain each passenger.

If you find that the seat is free from that blocking box then you’ll notice very little space under the aisle seat, a little more under the wing seat and most space under the middle one and this could be taken as the only advantage of this seat. Your bag can just fit into that space in words but not in real because of the geometry and angles of the space.

You will have to free yourself by bringing the smallest bag of your true need for your ease and the fellow passengers as well. The most airlines restrict you with their rules about the luggage size, weight and the number of luggage brought to the plane but U.S. domestic airlines are liberal about their limits.

Traveler’s survey

Talking about the survey taken in June 04 of Travel Insider Newsletter readers, 80% of readers said that they did not find any problem exceeding their carryon luggage than the given limits.

But you will have a different opinion on this if you will find the overhead bins filling up all the space with big sized heavy weight carryon bags and there is no space for your small size bag, which you brought following all the guidelines and rules. 94.5% readers had the statement that they don’t exceed carryon luggage limits.

These items are for example a briefcase, camera, Handbag/Purse, Laptop (in carry bag), and other items in 36" limit as total dimension, Reading Matter, Small book-bag style backpack, and an Umbrella.

Generally you are allowed to carry a bag and a personal item but some airlines give you the relaxation to bring content e.g. coats, hats and other 'outer clothing' items, 'assistive devices' such as crutches/canes and wheelchairs, diaper bags and approved child safety seats.

These airlines do not charge any extra cash for this. If you are unlucky for having an airline which forces you to follow the carryon luggage guidelines then you will have to get your disallowed items checked. Some international airlines restrict you especially about the weight of your carryon luggage.

In some airlines, there is so much pathetic and absurd limit of weight as low as 11lbs which even is less than the total weight of your carryon bag.

So you need to be very careful while flying on an international airline otherwise you will surely find someone, the next time when you would be on the airport, worriedly and anxiously unpacking and then repacking his carryon luggage on the checking counter’s floor, and would get shocked if he would be YOU! It is seen sometimes that even international airlines also have smaller standard limits for carryon luggage allowances.

If you want to save your self from all this hectic and want your luggage bags to get approved by both domestic and international airlines then you need to have one bag or two of smaller sizes whose combined total size is even less than the maximum allowed domestic carryon sizes.

You will find your carryon and checked content allowances for luggage got even more shrink while you are flying on a reasonable small plane.
