How much does Dropbox cost?</h1>
<div class="help_answer" style="background-color: white; color: #3d464d; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'lucida grande', 'Segoe UI', arial, verdana, 'lucida sans unicode', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 10px 0px 50px; min-height: 460px; width: 660px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
All new Dropbox accounts and downloads, including the desktop and mobile apps, are totally <strong>free</strong>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Dropbox accounts start with 2 GB of free space. You can earn more free space in a variety of ways. For example, by referring your friends to Dropbox, you can earn up to 16 GB of additional space.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
If you ever run out of space, you can upgrade your account with a monthly or yearly subscription to a Dropbox Pro 100 GB, 200 GB, or 500 GB plan. If you're an organization or group looking to share an even larger amount of space together, you may be interested in Dropbox for Business.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">Syncing your files between all of your computers, smartphones, and tablets is what Dropbox is all about. All you have to do is</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">install the Dropbox desktop application</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">and sign in using the same login on all your devices.</span></div>
<div class="help_answer" style="background-color: white; color: #3d464d; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'lucida grande', 'Segoe UI', arial, verdana, 'lucida sans unicode', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 10px 0px 50px; min-height: 460px; width: 660px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
If you've already installed Dropbox, simply adding files to your Dropbox folder will automatically sync the file to your Dropbox, which means you can open it from any other computer, smartphone, or tablet that also has Dropbox installed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
If you'd rather sync some files with other people on other Dropbox accounts, that's easy too; just create a shared folder instead.</div>
<div class="hotbox" style="background-image: url(https://dt8kf6553cww8.cloudfront.net/static/images/white_pixel-vfltEkXBV.gif); background-repeat: repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(170, 204, 238); margin: 2em 0px; padding: 2em 2.2em;">
<h2 style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 3px;">
Install the Dropbox app</h2>
<ol style="margin: 1em 2em 0em; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<li style="list-style: decimal !important; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">Start by downloading Dropbox on each computer, smartphone, and tablet you want to sync with.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal !important; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">When installing, you will be prompted to either sign in or create a new account. You only need one account no matter how many devices you want to keep in sync.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal !important; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">Once Dropbox is installed, you'll notice a new <strong>Dropbox</strong> folder on your hard drive. Add files to your Dropbox folder, and Dropbox will automatically watch them and make sure they are in sync. You can now access your files through the Dropbox website.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal !important; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">Once you have installed the application on each of your computers using the same Dropbox login, your files will appear in the <strong>Dropbox</strong> folders of those computers as well.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
That's it. Dropbox will watch your Dropbox folder and automatically make sure your files are the same no matter where you access them. No buttons are needed and no further settings are required. You don't have to do anything.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">A is for assess. Before you begin to organize your closet, </span>you need to assess your space and your goals. Do you have enough room for everything you own and more importantly do you wear it? If the answer to these two questions is yes, then you can skip the step of having to purge and sort your closet contents. But if you are like most people, there are many items in your closet - uncomfortable shoes or skinny jeans you hope to fit into one day – that can and should go. Before you begin, decide if you need to just organize or if a de-cluttering session is necessary.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>B is for basics. The next step is to decide how you want to organize your closet. The possibilities are numerous and you need to find a system that works for you because organizing is about making things easier. Some suggestions for different closet systems are to sort your clothes by items – group all of the pants together, shirts, sweaters, skirts, and so on; sort by occasion – work, around the house, gym, evening, or other types of clothing you own; or sort by color – you can use this tip in addition to the previous two or on its own.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>C is for consistency. Be brutal with yourself once you have taken the time to organize your closet, make yourself stick to the system you implemented. You don’t want all of your hard work to be for naught – without a little bit of discipline and consistency your closet could revert back to its former state. After a couple of weeks of sticking with your new closet management system (whatever one you decide works for you), it will be second nature to put your clothes back where they belong and make it easier for you.</b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://mexico-vacation.newarticles2go.com/header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><b><img border="0" src="http://mexico-vacation.newarticles2go.com/header.jpg" height="128" width="640" /></b></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>While you are on your vacation to Mexico, you may need to communicate with friends and family back home. Or, you may have forgotten to relay some important information to a colleague at work. At the very least you may need to speak to a local restaurant over the phone to make reservations or call a golf course to set up a tee time. In any event, knowing what to expect of the phone service you will find in Mexico can be very helpful.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The phone in your hotel room may be the most convenient to use, but it is probably best to avoid using it for making long distance telephone calls. Most resorts contract their long distance call service out to a second party long distance company who charges exorbitant prices. Even making local calls from your room or suite could incur a surcharge from the resort for every call. Your best bet is to use the special pay phones that are located in and around most hotels that will charge about $1 a minute. That may seem a little pricey as well, but it is much better than the alternative. Make sure that when you check in that you have the person behind the counter explain to you what the local and long distance rates are. That way, if you do decide to use the phone in your room or if you have to use it for an urgent matter, at least you won't be surprised when you get the bill at check out time.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Calling cards are a great way to call home from Mexico. Purchasing a prepaid card for the many LADA Tel or TelMex payphones that are located in many public places is easy and affordable. Prepaid phone calling cards can be purchased at small kiosks, in supermarkets, and gift shops all over Mexico. If you buy calling cards before you leave home, make sure to call the toll free customer service number located on the back of the card and they can give you the international access code for calling from Mexico to the United States. Always be mindful of what phone you use, as some may not work with a calling card or they may charge a fee (usually by taking extra minutes from your card) above and beyond what you paid for the card.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Your personal cell phone may work in Mexico and you can obtain that information by speaking to your service provider before you leave. You can also go to your service provider's website to see coverage maps of the areas in Mexico that you will get service and which areas will incur roaming charges. Of course, it all depends on your location and what kind of coverage is available, but your provider should have that information as well. If your cell phone doesn't provide that service, there are often cheap prepaid cell phones for sale once you arrive in Mexico. Good places to find those would be at the airport, your hotel's gift shop, or larger shopping areas at your destination. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Wherever you plan on going you should be able to easily and affordably keep in contact with the folks back home. The country of Mexico has kept up with the technology of communication as well as most developed nations and there won't be a major resort area that will fail to provide for you.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The name of Cancun, Mexico has become synonymous with Spring Break and over indulgent partying and drinking. But the successful growth of the area and proliferation of family hotels and resorts has created a vacation destination that isn't just a niche industry anymore. Vacationers of all tastes can find many fun and exciting activities to do in this tropical paradise.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cancun is located on the western coast of Mexico and more specifically on the Yucatan peninsula. There are fourteen miles of white sand beaches that make up the beachfront of Cancun on the waters of the Caribbean Sea. As you would expect from any beach resort, all the usual activities from swimming to windsurfing to parasailing can be experienced there. If you are not the adventuresome type, you are perfectly welcome to just stretch out on a cabana chair and soak up the sun while you watch everyone else exert all sorts of energy.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For those of you who want to spend all of your time off of the beach and out on the water, you can charter any type of boat from small motorized crafts, power boats to large fishing yachts that will take you sport fishing, snorkeling, or scuba diving. The marine life near Cancun is quite diverse among the coral reefs that are just offshore and they can offer countless adventures viewing vividly colored fish and the corals themselves. Snorkeling and scuba diving are two of the most popular water sports to indulge in while you are in Cancun. The sparkling Caribbean waters offer some of the most beautiful underwater views. The network of lagoons in the area also offers a biodiversity of creatures, some of which you may have never heard of before.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Not far away are a plethora of archeological sites of Mayan culture that have become famous the world over. Places like Chichen Itza and Tulum provide the echoes of this ancient civilization that thrived hundreds of years before the Conquistadors arrived in the New World. While experiencing the crazy, party all night atmosphere of Cancun's clubs it may be hard to believe that these sights exist so close. But, there are many diverse tours that can escort you to visit these wonders and treat you to an experience that will certainly leave you impressed with the innovations developed by the Mayan people.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you crave a challenge, you might like to take on one of the nine challenging golf courses in the Cancun area. All of them have famous pedigrees by being designed by some of the world's most famous names in course design, such as Nicklaus, Jones, Norman, and Dye. Especially thrilling are some of the courses built around some of the Mayan ruins, but whichever one you choose to tee off on, all of them have the most modern conveniences and features that one would expect from any private club in the United States.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Whether you are looking for a party, craving fun in the sun, or just looking for adventure, chances are you can find it in Cancun, Mexico. And it isn't mandatory that you have to experience it only during Spring Break.</b><br />

<b>What To Do On Your Vacation To Cabo San Lucas, Mexico 2014</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/13/new_main_image_revamp_cropped2_445x280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/13/new_main_image_revamp_cropped2_445x280.jpg" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Have you ever heard someone say, "Once, when I was in Cabo...."? Cabo San Lucas, Mexico seems to get pared down to just "Cabo" by the people who love to vacation there. It is an affectionate nickname for a little piece of a desert town at the end of the Baja California peninsula that lives up to it's own hype by being full of fun in the surf and sun.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When you begin to think about what activities you might expect to find on your vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, you will invariably start with the beach and ocean. Scuba diving with manta rays has become an unusual activity that could be a once in a lifetime type of encounter. Whale watching excursions are also popular and can provide a lifetime of memories to take home. And snorkeling expeditions can be exhilarating to undertake.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But what brings most visitors to Cabo San Lucas is the sport fishing industry. Marlin, Dorado, Tuna, and many other species of fish are caught year round in the waters surrounding Cabo. Fishing boats are available for charter and can cater to any whim you may have. You can tussle with these monster fish all day and be pampered with a catered meal once you're done hauling them in.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Combining the desert, ocean, and mountains makes the Baja peninsula a beautiful and intriguing destination and provides the backdrop for many quaint villages and towns in the area that can be explored by taking day trips. Taking a drive or joining a tour to visit towns like La Paz and Todos Santos can give you a glimpse of village life in Mexico that still exists in this technological age. Exploring old church squares and local shopping areas can be a lot of fun.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cabo San Lucas is quickly becoming the golf capital of Mexico. It has six championship courses that are very close to each other and they all share the beauty of the area. They all have ocean views and three of them have holes right on the ocean. And while you can take advantage of these great courses now you can also look forward to more courses that are now in the planning stage. So stay tuned!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you fall so in love with Cabo San Lucas that you want to come back every year, you might want to look into getting a timeshare. Vacation ownership is a way that travelers can purchase time at a resort that they will, in essence, own however many weeks a year are purchased. This has many advantages, such as guaranteeing your same accommodations every year, allowing you to "give" your week to friends or family if you won't be using it, or trading your week to be used at another resort(although this usually requires you to be a member of a timeshare trading cooperative).</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cabo San Lucas has earned the reputation as a "party town" especially with the unofficial endorsement of famous rock and roller Sammy Hagar, who has adopted the town and opened up his own nightclub and restaurant there. But never fear if you don't like the all night party scene because there is plenty to do for everyone in this great vacation destination. </b><br />

<b>What To Be Aware Of If You Drive While Vacationing In Mexico 2014</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Driving your own vehicle through Mexico or renting one to drive while on vacation can provide a wonderful, go-at-your-own-pace type of experience. That being said there are several things you should be aware off if you drive while on vacation in Mexico.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Getting insurance for driving in Mexico is a must, whether it is for your own car or a rental. An accident, even if you are not at fault, will not be just an inconvenience, but could affect the rest of your vacation. Most companies exclude coverage in a foreign country and a policy supplied by your insurance company may not be valid in Mexico. There are insurance vendors on both sides of the border, but it is wise to obtain it before you enter, as it will be quite cheaper. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you drive your own vehicle across the border you will need to be aware of regulations regarding bringing more than $50 of merchandise into the country. What the border guards are looking for are items that are being brought in that could be sold. You can avoid most trouble if you take the tags off of new clothing, anything in a box should be opened and taken out and the packaging discarded, and don't have any new supplies in shopping bags. Distribute anything new among your baggage and you should be fine.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Driving on the highway systems will probably remind you of many roads back home as they are, for the most part, modern and well signed. Most of the roads are toll roads, because, in Mexico, tolls pay to keep the roads maintained instead of taxes. It is prudent to have a hefty handful of small bills for this "pay as you go" system. But the cost of tolls is definitely worth it because the highway roads are much better than the pothole ridden two lane roads you would have otherwise used.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It is advisable to avoid driving at night in Mexico. Many of the smaller two-lane roads will have livestock issues that could be dangerous and most assaults that would happen on the roads would certainly happen at night. Be aware that most tourist deaths that happen in Mexico involve automobile accidents.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Above all, practice defensive driving while in Mexico. Mexican drivers, especially truck drivers and bus drivers, are very polite and will let you pull out or pass them. But other drivers, especially in the cities can be aggressive. You don't want to get into an accident if you can avoid it because, if an accident causes an injury, all cars will be impounded until the situation can have a complete accounting. This could turn into quite an ordeal, even if you are innocent in the matter.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Make sure that you obtain insurance that will protect you while driving in Mexico. Try to stay on the main toll roads and avoid rural areas where livestock might be a dangerous hindrance. Avoid driving at night whenever possible for safe driving and for security from possible assaults. And practicing defensive driving at all times. All these tips will help make your vacation safer and easier while on vacation in Mexico. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>When you think about history and Mexico there are a few locales that come to mind. The one that really stands out is the area of the Yucatan peninsula that encompasses the area once dominated by the Mayan people and where you can still find incredible evidence of their advanced civilization. Just a short drive from the high-octane resort towns of Cancun and Cozumel are examples to be found of the height of Mayan architecture and civilization.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Many travel providers can set you up with tours that will let you enjoy and explore several archeological sites and still put aside time to lounge on a beach to soak in the sun. This gives you the opportunity to have an educational experience as well as a relaxing vacation. Spend a few days traveling to several of the most well known ruins and then kick back with some typical water activities.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The most famous Mayan ruins are at Chichen Itza, which is close to Merida, the capital of Yucatan. It is estimated Chichen Itza was established in 432 AD and is one of the finest examples of Mayan architecture ever excavated. You can climb the pyramid known as "El Castillo" and learn how it is set up to have significance in how the Mayans viewed astronomy. There is also the largest ball court in Mesoamerica located here, which hosted games where the losers may have been ritually sacrificed. The blend of science, religion, and architecture in the city can be very impressive.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Another more recently found site is at Palenque, in which in 1952 the mummified remains of Lord Pakal, a ruler during the sixth century, were found in a large sarcophagus. There are many exquisite examples of Mayan architecture located here, such as comb-like decorations on the roofs of the temples and intricately carved wall panels. There are over 200 buildings at this site, which are probably more than enough to keep you exploring most of the day. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A visit to Tulum can provide some seaside ruins to explore for a half a day or so, but it also gives you the opportunity to snorkel and check out some of the underwater caves that are near there. After that it is a short trip to either Cancun or Isla de Mujeres for some rest and relaxation so you can reflect on all the history you absorbed. And the margaritas are good there, too. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Just south of Tulum you will find Sian Ka'an, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ecological reserve has a lion's share of natural beauty, but it also highlights 23 archeological sites of Mayan civilization and contains an ancient trade route that serviced the cities of Tulum and Muyil during the Mayan era. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The entire Yucatan peninsula is chock full of the history and architecture of the Mayan civilization and it gives us a glimpse of what life was like in the prehistory of European colonization of the Americas. If your idea of a great vacation to Mexico is to learn about its history and heritage, then this is the number one place to go. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>While it may seem a simple question to some, what currency you should use while vacationing in Mexico is often asked and more often gotten wrong. Most people know that the national currency of Mexico is the Peso, but most assume that the American dollar works just as well, if not better. It is a common misconception that Mexican merchants and vendors see the dollar as more desirable and revered, but that is not necessarily true.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Most retailers and merchants in Mexico will politely accept American dollars, but they prefer Pesos. The exception would be in Northern Mexico and Baja where merchants happily accept dollars and there isn't much chance to offend. You just need to make sure in these cases that you get a fair exchange rate. It is also a better deal for the tourist to use Pesos because prices are almost always less expensive when using Pesos. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You can plan ahead and use a currency exchange service before you travel, although you may find that a currency exchange at the airport might give you the best exchange rate. A good bill amount to obtain might be 500 Pesos, which would come in handy for tipping the bellman or a waiter. You can use your debit or credit card for all your other transactions and you can take along traveler's checks for any emergency that comes along. All of your cards and travelers checks can be replaced if stolen so don't take an inordinate amount of cash with you. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you run low on cash you can always replenish your pocketbook at the many ATM bank machines that are prevalent in resort areas. You can cash your traveler's checks at an exchange house or a bank, which will result in the face value of the check multiplied by that day's rate of exchange. If the place you go tries to charge a fee for doing this, go somewhere else, as it is not common practice to levy fees or commissions for cashing traveler's checks. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And don't forget that friends and family will appreciate and enjoy seeing coins and currency from distant lands when you get home. Be sure to keep some Pesos to give a show and tell when you return. If you have children you will especially appreciate how much they will enjoy showing off your "booty" to their friends. And putting some of the Pesos you get while on vacation into your scrapbook or photo album will be a great reminder of all the fun you had in Mexico.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Using the currency of Mexico will not only make your cash go farther, but it will also stimulate your mind as you take in all the colorful images printed on the Pesos and immerse yourself into the culture of Mexico. Go to a currency exchange service and get a lot of different small denominations. Learning what certain everyday items cost and how little you have to spend to have a good time will only serve to better your vacation experience. Have fun!</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Maui is a gorgeous island amongst the chain of the Hawaiian Islands. There are tons of activities for both families, and honeymooners looking for a quiet escape. Weather water sports or land activities are your thing, Maui is sure to please.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The town of Lahaina is an old fishing village located on the western side of the island. Here you will find a vast array of shopping and fine dining options to choose from. There is also a whaling museum located here. It's a great place to explore the wonders of these huge mammals. Lahaina is also a great place to take surf lessons. There are a couple of different surfing schools located here. Lastly, the Old Lahaina Luau is one not to be missed. If you are interested in going to a luau at all, while on the island this is the place. It's smaller and more authentic than those that you will find at the resort hotels. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The road to Hana is another popular journey for vacationers on the island. If you were to drive straight through on the Hana Highway, the trip would take about two hours, however, this journey is not about the destination. There are literally over a hundred places you could stop along the way. There are waterfalls galore, a rainforest reserve, black sand beaches, and more hiking trails than you can imagine. Once in the town of Hana you might want to stop for lunch or perhaps a relaxing swim on the beach. I would highly recommend renting a vehicle with 4-wheel drive because the best spot, the Ohe'o Gulch is located just past Hana. If you don't have 4-wheel drive, you will have to go back the way you came. This road is full of one lane roads and hair pin turns; and it's located at the top of huge cliffs that overlook the Pacific Ocean. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Ohe'o Gulch, otherwise known as the seven sacred pools, is nothing short of spectacular. There are actually twenty four pools. They are natural pools that form from water trickling down from the ocean. The water runs over the rocks to form the pools and falls. The best part about the pools is you can take a relaxing dip in them.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Kihei is a quiet town located on the southern side of the island. Here you are more likely to find low-rise hotels and condos rather than the high-rises that are so prevalent in the resort area of Ka'anapali. This is a good place to relax on the relatively quiet beaches, or perhaps take a windsurfing or kite boarding lesson. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Maui Ocean Center is located in Ma'alea, near the Ma'alea Bay. The ocean center is home to a giant aquarium that has a tunnel you can actually walk through. It makes for a great picture taking opportunity, as you can literally have sharks and huge manta rays swimming directly on top of you. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ma'alea Bay offers some great whale watching opportunities, particularly during the winter months. Mother humpback whales come into the shallow waters of the bay to protect their babies from sharks that frequent the deeper waters.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Lanai is the smallest and perhaps most exclusive island in the chain of Hawaiian Islands. The beaches are just as gorgeous as the other islands and the palm trees offer the perfect backdrop for a romantic island getaway. When visiting Lanai you can get to the island either by plane or by a ferry. You can fly into Lanai from either Maui or Honolulu. There are no direct flights from the mainland so you should take some time to visit one of the other islands first. If you take a boat to Lanai, it will be from Maui and you may just get lucky enough to see some migrating whales along the way, particularly in the winter months. If you do not have a lot of time to visit Lanai, you could take a day trip from Maui.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Lanai is home to a famous dive site known as Cathedrals located near Pu'u Pele rock. The tropical fish and coral are abundant here. Hulop'e Beach is another popular destination on the island. Here you can usually see spinner dolphin and a variety of reef fish making this a great place for snorkeling. The beaches here are white sand and gorgeous. They make for a great place to relax and unwind. Shipwreck beach is a nice place to take a stroll. It's relatively quiet; in fact you are likely to be alone on this stretch of beach. You may find remnants of sunken ships in the form of driftwood washed up along the shore here. As the name implies there are several shipwrecks located just off the shore. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The island of Lanai is also home to two championship golf courses. Manele, located at Manele Bay Hotel was actually designed by Jack Nicklaus and is set amongst a gorgeous tropical backdrop complete with palm trees and ocean cliffs. Greg Norman designed the second course which is the Experience at Koele. It has been rated the number one golf resort in the world by Conde Nast. The course lies beneath the mountains and offers spectacular views of the neighboring islands. Lanai is also home to the Cavendish Golf course that is a local nine-hole course. The course is open to the public and all are welcome. There are no greens fees here (impressive) however, donations are accepted.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Horseback riding is another popular activity on the island of Lanai. The only place to ride is at Koele. They offer a variety of different ride options including pony rides for the kids. One favorite ride is a trail ride that will take you on trails along the coast. This offers breathtaking views, and if you look closely, you may be able to se Moloka'i and Maui. This ride also includes a picnic lunch, which can make for a romantic afternoon.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>One hiking destination not to be missed while in Lanai is the Koloiki Ridge Trail. The 5-mile hike begins at the Lodge at Koele and will take you up to the Munro Trail. The hike will offer some breath taking views of the valleys, as well as Moloka'i and Maui. The island of Lanai will offer a great variety of activities, or none at all if you wish. It's the perfect island for pampering and relaxation. </b><br />

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>On the big island of Hawaii you will find diversity in the geography ranging from beaches to volcanoes. You will find miles and miles of undeveloped land as well as bustling urban development in cities like Kailua -Kona. Hilo, which is located on the windy side of the island, gets a lot of rainfall. This contributes to the lush green landscaping of this side of the island making Hilo an interesting sight and a must see on the list of destinations. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Most people begin there journey on the big island in Kona. You should plan to take a few days to relax and enjoy the nearby beaches, or perhaps go snorkeling at Kealakekuea Bay. Next you should take some time to explore the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This is a must see on the list. The park is amazing to say the least. If you have plenty of time you can actually make camp in the park and really explore. The park has over 140 miles of hiking trails and is nothing short of spectacular. If you are short on time, you should still take a drive through the park. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>There is a stretch of Highway 137 dubbed Red Road that is also worth visiting. There is a canopy of Milo and Hala trees that have intertwined to form a sort of a tunnel effect. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>You should also plan to spend some time in Hilo. The lush landscaping makes for great scenery and picture taking opportunities. Hilo has been called the rainiest city in the USA, so don't expect much in the way of beaches. But Hilo is a cute little town; nonetheless, that offers some history and culture complete with Bed and Breakfasts.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>There is a quiet little town called Puako located on the Southern Kohalo Coast that is home to the fabulous tide pools. This is accessible by highway 19 near the Hapuna Beach State Park. The giant tide pools are home to some marine life including coral making this destination a must see. However, don't plan on staying in Puako, it is such a small town that it doesn't have any lodging and it really is off the beaten path. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Who would have thought that horseback riding would be on the list of activities for a Hawaiian vacation? Well, actually there is a huge ranch called the Dahana Ranch Roughriders in Waimea. It's owned and operated by a native Hawaiian family and is still a working cattle ranch. The ranch raises and breeds, and trains cattle and horses. There are also some excellent cycling opportunities here in Waimea as the terrain is full of rolling hills. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Before checking out and leaving the island stop into the Pololu Valley which will offer some hiking trails. You can even take a mule ride through the valley. Lastly, you should take some more time to relax on the white sandy beaches of the big island. Or perhaps, take one last snorkeling opportunity at Kauna'oa Bay. Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure that your stay in Hawaii will amaze. </b></div>

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The beginning of a Hawaiian kingdom started in 1809 after the fall of king Kamehameha. The new king moved to Honolulu to take control of the trade that was going on. Honolulu was the perfect place because it was centrally located. In the 1830's sugar plantations were established and Honolulu became a booming city, bars and brothels alike were opened. In 1845 Honolulu officially replaced Maui as the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Because of increasing western influence, Hawaii, and most importantly Pearl Harbor, officially became a US territory in 1898. There were several arguments, failed bills and lots of political red tape that kept Hawaii from becoming a U.S. state. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The gateway to allowing Hawaii to become an official state was tourism. Pan American Airlines flew the first passenger flights from the mainland to Hawaii in 1936. This led to mass tourism. After the Korean War and the attacks on Pearl Harbor, it became imminent to make Hawaii an official state. Hawaii was declared the 50th state on August 21, 1959. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In the 1970's the Hawaiian culture had a resurgence of pride and heritage awareness. The ancient Hawaiian language had all but disappeared and a huge westernization had spread across the state. In the seventies the original Hawaiian language was reintroduced back into preschools and became an important part of the heritage again Thanks to the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch we all know that ohana means family. Today the language is taught at the University of Hawaii as well.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The luau is also another important part of Hawaiian culture. Luaus have been with the culture for hundreds of years. The word luau really just means a party or a celebration. This is the way that friends and family honor each other on special occasions. Today there are two types of Luaus. The first is like the original way, just a gathering of family and friends, and is the only authentic type. They are private, and unless you have local connections, it is unlikely that tourists would be invited to such an event. The second type of Luau is commercial. It's the type that we tourists would frequent. They are heavily choreographed and can be quite entertaining. The luau usually has a buffet of some sort of roasted pig as the entrée accompanied by rice and of course pineapple. These luaus are also complete with hula dancers for the guys and Polynesian dancers for the ladies viewing pleasure. There is plenty of entertainment to go around, especially when you add an open bar to the mix. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The merry monarch festival was founded in 1971. It is a hula festival; in fact it is the largest hula festival in the world. It features thousands of dancers and honors the long time Hawaiian tradition of hula dancing. The festival takes place in March or April and draws huge crowds. It is located in Hilo on the big island of Hawaii and is a weeklong cultural event. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>There couldn't be a more relaxing vacation spot than Hawaii. There are lots of activities on both the land and in the water. The landscape provides the perfect backdrop for all sorts of outdoor activities. There will be plenty of things for the kids to do, so bring them with you. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The whole family will love boogie boarding or body surfing on one of the great beaches in Hawaii, like world famous Waikiki Beach. Waikiki even has a cheeseburger in paradise restaurant. The kids will love it. They can get any kind of toppings they want on these world famous burgers. Don't forget the Honolulu zoo. It is a small city zoo, but it's worth taking a tour. The flamingo pond in the front is sure to please the kids and will offer a great photo taking opportunity. The Waikiki Aquarium is another fun family stop.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It has a touch pond for the viewing pleasure of the kids and adults alike. Lastly, the bishop museum is worth taking a tour. They have demonstrations on the art of making lei's as well as hula dancing performances. Before leaving the island take the kids to visit the world famous beaches of the North Shore. It's worth the drive to see the very beaches where world class surfers congregate. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When visiting Maui a sure bet is the Maui Ocean Center, home to the largest tropical fish aquarium in the United States. The dolphin statues out front make a great background for a souvenir photo. Don't forget to check out the whaling museum located in Lahaina. If you are visiting during the winter months go ahead and take a whale watching tour from the Lahaina harbor. It's sure to please. The beaches at the resort are of Ka'anapali are fun for kids as well. Most of these resorts have awesome pools for little swimmers. Some even have water parks within the hotel themselves. Parents should take advantage of the kids programs at these resorts for some quiet time to themselves. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>On the big island of Hawaii take a drive through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You can see active volcanoes and possibly some lava flow from the comfort and safety of your own rental car. Next take a ride over to Waimea and take the kids for a horseback ride through the valley. You could do an all day excursion complete with lunch, or perhaps just pony rides for the little kids. Lastly you could go to North Kohala and try kayaking. This is a great place for beginners. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The island of Molokai will offer some good old fashioned rest and relaxation in an authentic Hawaiian atmosphere. You could rent mountain bikes and explore the island together. Be careful, however, not to go too far off the trails, because it's easy to get lost on the mostly undeveloped island. On this island you should consider renting a house so the kids will have plenty of room to spread out. Also there aren't too many hotel options here on Molokai. </b> <br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you are thinking about planning a trip to Hawaii, you may be wondering the best time of year to visit Hawaii. Well, anytime really. Hawaii really doesn't have an off season. The winter months of January and February seem to be the rainiest, but it's not the same kind of winter you would have in other parts of the United States. In fact the winter months may actually draw crowds during those so called rainy months. One reason is that the waves on the northern shores of the islands are much bigger during the winter. The North Shore of Ohau in particular is famous for those huge waves, sometimes coming in as high as thirty feet. These are some of the largest waves in the world.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>On any given day on the North shore, you can expect to see world championship surfers, particularly at Waimiea Bay. The Banzi pipeline is another popular surfing spot for these amazing athletes. The pipline is famous for its long tubes. But, don't be fooled by the lure of this gorgeous wave, the water underneath is shallow and full of coral reef. The waves at these famous hot spots are not for beginners. If you are just learning to surf, you should stick to the shallow waves at Wakiki Beach in Honolulu. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b> Another reason for the high number of winter tourists is whale watching. Whale watching season is generally from January to May. Whale watching is a popular activity during the winter months on the island of Maui. You can expect to see many different species of whales, including the humpback whale. They are typically found along the western shore of Maui. Ma'alaea Bay in particular is a great spot to catch a glimpse of the mother and baby whales. The shallow waters of the bay offer protection from possible shark attacks. You can see the whales, by simply taking a stroll along the beach. There are also many tour companies offering day trips to popular whale watching destinations. The island of Lanai also offers some whale watching opportunities, both on and off shore.</b><br />

<b>The humpback whale is the fifth largest of the whale family of mammals. The humpback is on the endangered species list due mostly to hunting of these animals in previous years. At one time hunting humpbacks was considered a great sport and it almost forced the species into extinction. Humpback whales can reach lengths of 45 feet and can weigh as much as 45 tons. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Another reason that Hawaii is such a popular vacation destination during the winter months is plain geography. Because the winter months are so cold and dreary during these months back on the mainland, visitors flock to Hawaii for a much needed respite. What better way to escape a February snow storm than to sit on a tropical beach in paradise and sip on Mai tais. Whatever your reason for visiting Hawaii, all of the islands are waiting and are sure to please even the most frostbitten winter visitor </b><br />

<b>When visiting Hawaii most people think of lush tropical trees and white sandy beaches. After all, Hawaii is the perfect spot for relaxing and sipping fruity drinks. However, there is one somber tourist spot that should not be missed. It is the memorial at Pearl Harbor. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Pearl Harbor was once known only for its ample supply of pearl oysters. No one would have ever dreamed that this harbor would become the reason that the United States entered into World War II. Sadly today it is known only for the infamous attacks that happened December 7, 1941, when wave Japanese planes flew over an attacked an unsuspecting sleeping army. Over 1.5 million people visit the USS Arizona memorial yearly. Tourists of all kinds stop here to remember the lives lost on that fateful morning so long ago. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>2335 US soldiers died during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Roughly half of those killed were aboard the USS Arizona. The giant ship was bombed and sank in less than ten minutes trapping over a thousand men on board. Today, the ship lies exactly where it sank and is a giant tomb. The bodies aboard the ship were never recovered. A memorial was erected and floats directly on top of the ship. The ship still leaks oil into the harbor in small amounts that have been said to be black tears. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The mood at the memorial is somber even today over sixty years after the attack. The park does a nice job of filtering the average number of 4500 guests through the memorial daily. Upon arrival to the memorial you are given a ticket and told when your entry to the movie theater will be. The time of year of your visit determines your wait time. During the summer months when crowds are at their highest you may have to wait a couple of hours. But, there is plenty to occupy your time. There is a museum that contains memorabilia such as letters from soldiers to loved ones and uniforms. The museum also has photos of Japanese planes as well as map showing the destruction of the harbor. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b> There is also a World War II submarine located at the memorial site. The USS Bowfin Museum and Park are worth taking a stroll through. They have kept the submarine intact and you can see pretty much how the men lived in the submarine. You can actually walk through the submarine. Be forewarned, this is not an activity for Closter phobic people, the ship's quarters are very tight. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Once the wait is over the tour through the memorial runs fairly quickly. They show a movie that lasts about twenty minutes. It shows exactly what happened that early morning in December all those years ago, complete with video footage. Once the movie is over you will take a short boat ride out to the actual memorial. When the ferry arrives, you will walk all the way to the back of the memorial where there is a wall listing the names of all who died that day. </b></div>

<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>No Hawaiian vacation would be complete without attending a luau. The word luau really just means a party or a celebration. Typically in ancient Hawaiian culture luaus were given to celebrate the birth of a child or a wedding. These days the word luau has become a household name all across the United States. When we think of a luau today, we think of those cheap plastic lays and those silly plastic tiki cups. Oh, but a luau is so much more. In Hawaii there are two basic types of luau. The first type closely resembles that of the original type of luau. This is a private gathering of friends and family for a celebration. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The second type of luau is a commercial luau open to the public and what we tourists typically visit. While in the state of Hawaii there will be many different luaus to choose from. They are basically all the same, with a few different high points. Arriving guests are greeted with a fresh flower leu. The entertainment is usually choreographed and top notch, complete with hula dancers and fire eaters. Sometimes the guests provide some of the entertainment themselves. It's always fun watching grown men wear hula skirts and try to learn this complicated dance. There are different options for food and drink as well. I myself prefer the open bar type. The food is usually a buffet, consisting of a roasted pig or perhaps some sort of roast beef, rice, and of course the Hawaiian staple...pineapple.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>I have to mention some of the best known luaus and those with the best reputation. While in Maui, the Old Lahaina Luau is the one not to be missed. This is the most authentic Luau on the island. The hula dancers are superb and the food is of the highest quality. The other luaus available in Maui are usually done at the resorts and lack the realism of Old Lahaina. Because of it's popularity, the Old Lahaina Luau does require reservations. In fact, I would recommend that you make your reservations before you even leave for Hawaii.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>While visiting the big island, again there are a plethora of options to choose from. Kona seems to be a popular town for the luau. King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel offers a Luau with a shell lei greeting, and a torch lighting ceremony. Check with the hotel for luau days. On the mornings of luaus spectators can watch the hotel staff bury the pig in the sand and begin roasting.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The island of Kaui offers a couple of luau's of its own. Both the Radisson Kauai Beach Resort and the Kilohana Plantation have nice luaus complete with open bars, fire eaters and of course, hula dancers.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Whichever island or islands you choose to visit while in Hawaii, a Hawaiian luau is a must. Whether the gorgeous hula girls are your thing (scantily clad Polynesian dancers for the ladies) or you are just there for the food, a luau is sure to please.</b></div>

<b><a href="http://daily4info.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hawaii is a beautiful vacation destination.</a> It makes for either a quiet and mild vacation consisting of countless hours lying on a beach or wildly active vacation sure to please event the most avid thrill seekers. What thrill seeking vacation would be complete without exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO). The national park occupies a vast array of terrain ranging from tropical beaches to the sub arctic Mauna Loa summit. The huge park has two active volcanoes. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Kilauea Caldera is the youngest and most active volcano on earth. The landscaping is amazing complete with hardened lava and dozens of craters. The park has 140 miles of hiking trails and is open to the public for camping. The park is over 333,000 acres of land so plan to stay a while if you truly want to explore the park. If you don't have a lot of time, you should plan to at least drive through the park. It is worth the hour or so that it will take you to see everything. The volcano erupts regularly, so in most cases you will get to see some sort of lava flow. However, don't expect to see eruptions spewing into the sky like in the movies. The flow is fluid and constant, not nearly as dramatic as Hollywood depicts. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The terrain changes so frequently due to the ever changing lava flow that it makes it difficult to follow maps, however the most up to date versions will be available at the visitor's center. The map can be used for driving as well as hiking. The park has a hotline that tells you what is happening with the volcanoes that day and where to best view the lava flow. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Unlike the rest of Hawaii the weather can change very quickly in the park. The temperatures can be about 15 degrees cooler here than in Kona, so plan to dress appropriately. The park can have blistering heat from the sun's reflection off of the lava flow. It can be hot and steamy one minute and change to a chilly downpour of rain with little or no warning. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.steephill.tv/galleries/2005/volcanoes-np/lava-on-the-road-w1150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.steephill.tv/galleries/2005/volcanoes-np/lava-on-the-road-w1150.jpg" height="163" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>If planning to visit the volcanoes you should be prepared and dress appropriately. Wear hiking shoes or boots; bring sunscreen and lots of water. The heat can cause dehydration quickly so be prepared with lots of fluids because this little nuisance is preventable. Always follow the signs and stay on the trails. Fatalities do happen here at HAVO. The most common are due to people wandering off and getting lost in the park and people getting too close to newly formed lava paths. These lava flows can collapse causing injuries, or even worse death. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If and when the lava reaches the ocean, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid permeate the air. These gases are toxic. Every one should be careful, especially pregnant women, young children and people with upper respiratory problems. The smell of sulfur is strong in the air. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Whether it's magnificent hiking trails you seek, or simply marking visiting a volcano off of your to do list, HAVO is sure to please. </b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>With so many reasons why car clubs are a great idea there are also some reasons why you should avoid them. Many people discover that the idea of a car club is much more glamorous than it really is and decide quickly that it is important to move onto another activity that will be more satisfying. Of course, it is important to always realize that everyone has different preferences, and circumstances even change in life itself that may make a collectors car club more appropriate later on in your life, or when a club fit in perfectly in the past it may no longer fit into your schedule.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you discover that you have no time to yourself of your family at all, you may not be able to devote the necessary time to a car club. There are at least a few time requirements that are likely to occur from elections, to car shows, to organized events and possibly even car runs. Most clubs have at least a few requirements, so ensure before you join a club that you can handle the requirements. If you have any doubts that you can meet the time requirements then either look for a different club, or avoid joining a club entirely for a while.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A lot of people do not always realize just how friendly some car clubs can be. If you are not the type of person who enjoys constant social interaction then you may not enjoy a car club much. Those who enjoy company, companionship and the ability to interact with many others who enjoy cars as they do then a good car club is a fabulous option. For those who are not huge people fans, a car club can be a huge nightmare. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Additionally, if you discover that the membership fees for the club are not within your budget reach you should avoid the club. However, you can always feel free to talk to the club officers and see if there are any scholarship or discount programs available that would allow you to join at a reduced rate. It is important to realize that most clubs do not have these programs if they are small, however many larger clubs do offer these programs.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Look at the reasons you are interested in joining as well. When you are joining a car club, it should be because you are interested in cars, not boosting your resume. If you are joining a car club for the wrong reasons you are going to most likely be highly upset with the overall experience. Ensuring that you are joining for the right reasons will help you to be much happier with the overall situation, rather than continuously upset. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Additionally, if your only goal for joining a car club is to strictly do business you may want to avoid the clubs as well. Most club members do prefer to do business with those whom they know and are friends with, but they also prefer to do business with someone who is active. If you are only joining for contacts and do not plan on actually participating you are not likely to reap the benefits that you really want, which would make your time and money more efficient somewhere else. If you are willing to put a bit of effort into attending the meetings and shows you may be surprised at just how beneficial the meetings can be for you, and find the club offers a huge source of new customers.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As you can imagine, if you are joining a car club for a good reason the benefits are enormous, however joining for the wrong reasons can leave you very stressed out and quite unhappy with the club overall. Always ensure that you are satisfied with the club and the arrangements that the club can offer you in order to be truly satisfied. There are so many clubs to join and be a part of that you should always ensure that you look for clubs that you will enjoy. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The amount of most memberships can vary widely, but you should take several factors into account when you are trying to determine how affordable a membership really is and whether it is actually worth the money. The ultimate decision you make is going to be based upon the club itself, the membership benefits that you are able to use, and the overall pricing. Never sign up for a club that you cannot afford, and always ensure that the club is a good match for your needs before purchasing a membership.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There are several extremes when you are looking at memberships. Some charge very little with yearly membership fees as cheap as $10 per person and others are very expensive with memberships costing as much as $500 per person. Obviously, if you are comparing the memberships you want to see a great deal more benefits offered from the club with the $500 a year membership. In fact, the list of benefits should be much larger than the other club. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Many clubs are organized to have car shows or even races. If the clubs you are considering is one of these types of clubs you want to find a club that at least offers a discount to members off the admission fee to participate in the event. If the membership fee is very high, you would preferably want free admission and enrollment. Many clubs do allow the member and at least one guest to have free admission. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Another important consideration when you are determining a fair price for the membership is are you getting a newsletter? Most car clubs offer a newsletter of some sort to members. Included in your membership should be the newsletter and for an expensive membership you should expect a copy at least once a month. For those who have much cheaper membership fees the club may not be able to afford frequent issues, or they may opt to offer the newsletter electronically by either e-mail or only on their website.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Many clubs are also known for giving free merchandise with the membership. Most common gifts are t-shirts, sweatshirts or even hats and bags. The exact gift that your club offers may vary from year to year but anyone who is paying a large membership fee should expect something. Once again, those who have very low yearly rates can typically expect the club to skip over this benefit, as the fee simply is not enough to cover the expenses. However, even those clubs that do not give away the merchandise will typically offer a store where you can purchase the merchandise that you choose.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Comparing all of the costs and benefits of a membership can be a delicate task. Most memberships that offer just a single gift, discounts of $5-$10 off events and even a newsletter for a typical club should generally cost in the range of $50-$100 a year. Much more than this the fee should cover at least your entire family, or provide some other benefit that you will use extensively to justify the expense. Many clubs that have expensive membership fees tend to offer free admission for all club events, and also allow you free admission for guests of your choice. This type of benefit can be a substantial savings if you plan on attending many events.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>However, if you do not plan to attend many events if could be a waste of money. Most clubs also offer various levels of membership that will allow you to select the level that you can afford that will meet your needs. Carefully look over the options that are available and feel free to ask the club officers questions if you are confused about why the rates are set at their current levels. Asking questions and seeking clarifications is never a bad thing and instead will serve to ensure you are well aware of what is and is not included with your chosen membership. </b><br />

<b>The internet has created a push towards technology and this has created a need for many people to venture to the internet that normally would never have used the internet before. This includes many clubs and organizations that are typically quite small and only offer a few benefits to users. With the use of the internet though, it is possible to talk and communicate with members like you never have before. So deciding whether to use the internet to create a website for your club is not always a simple decision.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>With the number of web companies that sell web space for as little as a few dollars a month and domain names typically only costing $10 or so roughly a year they are not very expensive to maintain once the initial site is built. However, the costs to actually build the site can be quite large. If you know how to create your own website then you are looking at the costs dramatically lowering.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you are trying to decide whether a website is really a good investment consider the location of all of your members. Consider as well that if you offer a website you could send out ezines, which are generally much cheaper to provide to members than standard printed and mailed newsletters. By offering ezines, you are reducing your monthly expenses, reducing the hassle of having to drive to the printer, and removing the problems with postage and ensuring addresses are correct.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A well laid out website should offer some general information about the club, an area where members can see events that are coming up in the near future and also a place where people can post information about shows they hear about as well as advertising for vehicles or parts they are selling. Anything additional that you offer can just be an added benefit for members.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Many clubs use the website to allow perspective members to find out about events, membership requirements and other details about the club. There can also be an area that will allow you to put up a forum. This is a great way to allow members to really talk and connect to each other when they are looking for ways to ask questions quickly of other members. A forum is especially great for posting information about various specials or sales that businesses are offering that may be useful to club members as well.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Overall, most clubs find that using a website is very helpful for them. If you can overcome the initial costs, you are likely to find that creating a good and functional website is a great investment. It can often be a huge time saver when it comes to communicating with members, as well as working with people who are interested in membership. No longer would you need to spend long amounts of time on the phone, instead you could simply direct inquiries to the website and then assist people who needed further assistance. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For those who are looking for ways to ultimately save time, a website can be the perfect answer. Another great benefit that many clubs use is the ability to create an online store that can offer club merchandise for members to buy. The ability to maximize the potential of the internet for your needs and ability is huge; working with someone who is knowledgeable in designing websites can make your dream of organization and efficiency quite possible. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For less than $100, you can generally pay for a domain name and hosting. This is often the equivalent of two months newsletter expenses for most clubs and with the prices of web design services varying you are looking at finding something that fits within your budget no matter what it is. It is quite possible that once you have created the website you will wonder how the club ever functioned without it. So take the time to really look around and consider what else a good website can do for your club, I am sure you will find it well worth the time. </b><br />

<b>Looking to build or restore a great new car? Then you are mostly likely going to need a bit of help with the process, most people certainly do and this is going to be no exception. It is very important to take all of the help that you can get in order to make the process of building or restoring your new car as easy as possible. As you venture in the process of building your vehicle be sure to use all of the benefits that are available to you to make the process as painless as possible</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Your first goal should be looking around the car club membership for people who sell car parts. This can be a great way to get some nice discounts on parts that you are going to need which can make it much easier for you to save money. If you are needing large supplies of parts then working with a parts distributor is wise because all of those saved pennies add up. If you are only working on a single car, you may be able to find another member who will sell you the parts that you need at steep discounts. Ask around, you may be surprised at what you are able to find.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If you are going to need painting or even glasswork done for the vehicle, you also need to ask around. Once again, you may be able to get a discount from another member, or you may discover that the club has an agreement worked out with a company that would allow you to receive a discount if you show your membership card. Either way you can save even more money and spend more on the inside or other body work for the vehicle.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As you are working on your car, you are also likely going to need to help, most people have questions when they are building their first few cars and since it is such a large project it is not something that is done quickly. This will allow you plenty of opportunities to talk to other members and ask your questions. This is a great source of free information and can be a huge help when you are stuck. In addition, you can often find someone who is willing to come over and help you with something that is particularly tricky. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>One area that people do not consider often is the fact that viewing the cars others have created is a great way to get ideas. After all, anytime you see a car that looks fabulous you are probably making a mental note of what the owner did to create that. Being a member of a car club allows you access on a regular basis to numerous fabulous cars that you can look at for some inspiration. Even if you see something that is only mildly inspiring you may discover that you are able to create an entire masterpiece based off a single idea that you see. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Look forward to car shows that your car club organizes as the perfect opportunity to unveil your incredible new car as well. This is a great opportunity to show it off and gather the opinions of others. Many people bring out their special car even when it is not completely finished so that people can see what it looks like, and offer advice and suggestions on how to complete it. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Remember, if you belong to a car club you are able to use all of the benefits to suit your needs. Often this just means picking the brains of members that are more experienced than you and other times it means using the discounts that have been arranged. With the help that is available, your dream car can become a reality and often for a much lower price that you would have ever thought. Do not be afraid to ask for help, after all the love of the car is what is important and everyone is pulling for you to succeed in your venture</b>.<br />
