It seems like some people work their entire life so they can take an Exotic Vacation, when in reality, such a trip can be had for less than taking the family to DisneyWorld.

Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel the World on a Budget, share exotic locations with you known only to locals, and most importantly, ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy.

If this is not your first visit to Thailand. If you’ve been there, and done it all – Bangkok, Chiang Mai, the Golden Triangle, sampled a few of its renowned golden Beaches and Islands – swing by comparatively less-visited Ayutthaya, Sukhothai and Lampang. Mention this to some people and you’ll get a blank stare, “Why would you want to see Historical Cities? What do they have to offer?”

Spending time in Thailand’s Three Ancient, and Historical Cities, is nothing like touring “historical sights” in Europe, i.e. Dry facts, guides spouting…and then so-and-so fought so-and so…and then so-and-so took over so-and so…followed by the great-grand-nephew of so-and so-who then warred on… No, no, and no. Prepare for an easier, gentler immersion into Thai History.

Walk, bicycle or tuk-tuk over acres of peaceful Historical Parks with no motorized traffic….small, gigantic, standing, and reclining Buddhas, serenely gaze down on you…Burmese, Khymer, Lana, and Singhalese-style Temples, Chedis/Stupas and pillars are scattered throughout, remnants of the 800-year old Siamese Kingdom…and quietly hum a few bars from “The King and I, even though the Thai people considered the movie disrespectful. Add the fabulous Bang Pa-in Palace, Wat Phanan Choeng’s Golden Buddha, and House of Many Pillars into your itinerary while making your way north towards Chiang Mai.

Would you like to know how to save on your next cruise vacation?

Many people, and you can count me with them – used to think that cruising on the open seas in a luxury ship will be nowhere but their dreams. Such vacation will never happen on a budget, and for them, is close to impossible.

Not anymore. Careful, timely planning and saving will bring anyone – including you – to your dream sea cruise.

The recent years showed significant drops in costs of sea cruising. This one-of-a-kind escape has indeed become affordable to be everybody’s vacation alternative. In fact, all aspiring sea cruisers can more likely cruise if they just decide to lessen the unnecessary on-shore and onboard expenses, which are not included in the actual cruise fare.

Most cruises describe their offers as “all-inclusive”, but, like most vacation packages, they are far from being one! They will actually entail hidden charges onboard and during shore trips.

The ultimate tip is knowing where you can save from expenses without compromising your enjoyment and relaxation.

A touching and inspiring tale of the Texan pioneering spirit, English eccentricity, and two women old enough to know better.

When Susie Kelly decides, on a whim, to trek alone across France from La Rochelle to Lake Geneva, she entrusts her French farmhouse full of assorted animals to a total stranger from San Antonio, Texas. For each of them it will be a life-changing experience. Both will find their resourcefulness and ingenuity tested to the limit as, in their own ways, they explore and enjoy the culture, cuisine and people of Europe’s most fascinating country.

While Texan Jennifer Shields copes heroically with lost dogs, erratic electricity, old men hiding in bushes, and a language she cannot speak, Susie doggedly tramps 500 miles over unknown terrain, frequently lost and either too hot or too cold.

Armchair travellers will enjoy this tale of laughter and tears following the adventures of two women old enough to know better.

The story is familiar to movie fans-the horrifying tale of the 1907 book The Man-Eaters of Tsavo has been retold by Hollywood many times, most recently in the 1996 film The Ghost and the Darkness-but hearing it directly from the source remains a thrill. Patterson, a natural storyteller, immerses us in the horror of the workers’ fear and his own attempts to track the beast, which eventually would kill 140 people before Patterson took them out. This real-life escapade will rivet fans of adventure fiction and nonfiction alike. Anglo-Irish hunter JOHN HENRY PATTERSON (1867-1947) was an officer in the British army when he was commissioned by the British East Africa Company to oversee the construction of a railway bridge in Kenya. Just after he arrived in Africa, a pair of rogue male lions-animals that do not typically attack humans-began preying on the railroad workers, killing them viciously and consuming their corpses.

People who have never cruised before often wonder what it is about taking a cruise vacation that attracts so many. There are as many reasons to cruise as there are passengers on a ship. But if you’ve never cruised before, while it all may sound interesting and attractive, it’s hard to know how to get started planning your first cruise.

This book takes you through the ins and outs of cruising, including why you would want to consider a cruise vacation, how to select the ship, the itinerary, the stateroom and the date, how to plan your pre-cruise arrival at port, why you would (or wouldn’t) want to use a travel agency, what to expect when you board and when you disembark, and many more questions that people who have never cruised before ask. It warns you of pitfalls like failing to buy travel insurance and buying excursions from scalpers on the pier, and lets you know what you can expect to be included in the fare, and what’s extra.

This book gives just the right amount of pertinent information to help the cruiser make good choices, without overwhelming him with minutia. Although it covers all the really important points, it leaves room for discovery as well!

The author took her first cruise at the age of ten, and she has spent most of her days since then plotting to spend more time aboard and less time ashore. Cruising is her favorite vacation, and she hopes to share her love of cruising – including good, solid information – with those who have not yet had the pleasure of taking their own very first cruise.
