A rental car gives you the freedom to go off and explore because not everyone wants to be herded into buses and driven around with complete strangers.  A hire car means independence and often a much safer journey than in some parts of the world where public transport leaves much to be desired.  You can choose almost any type of rental car from a sleek sports model to a luxury saloon, a four wheel drive and a family carrier.

The great thing about a rental car is its yours for the duration of your trip, cutting out the need to worry about taxi’s and if you are self catering, the car is a must, especially if you are with a family, all expecting to take day trips, not to mention picking up the groceries.

The airport is often the best place to pick up your hire car; airports are full of car hire booths. With the hire car keys in hand a desire to immediately hit the road is natural but you should take a few moments to firstly check that the car has no damage other than that already declared on the prepared paper work. You should also take the time to familiarise yourself with the handling of the car and the layout of the dashboard, making sure you know where the light switches and indicators not to mention taking note of the correct side of the road!  With many hire car providers, you can add unlimited mileage and a collision damage waiver (just in case), the best way to book a hire car is to visit a hire car comparison site, that way your ideal car will be waiting to take you away!

Obviously there have been great strides made in technology so why not use that to your advantage by booting up the computer and checking out the thousands of offers that are available through the Internet. You can always start out with a basic search such as “cheap flights to Greece” or even “finding cheap flights to Greece”. There is no doubt that this search will yield a great deal of results, but as you start sifting through them it may get a little easier to figure out which would be right for you.

If you have nerves of steel and can be ready at the drop of a hat then you may want to consider going online to find some of those great last-minute deals. Why nerves of steel? Well, let’s face it, if you have been planning to take this trip for a while it can be a little nerve racking to keep your fingers crossed and hope that a cancellation will happen right when you need it. Or, you are on stand-by, again hoping that it will come through now when you need it. While you are at the airport you may be able to get a discount or even a voucher for future travel if the flight is over-booked and you offer to wait for another one.

However, you do not have to literally hold your breath and hope that you can get a seat on the plane. There are many discount sites on the Internet and you have probably heard of most of them, Orbitz, Travelocity, etc. where you can still find deals a little further in advance. Some of these work by you placing a bid, or you just enter the price that you want to spend on the flight and hope that you are able get it. You can also do something similar by going to EBay and looking over all the trips and placing a bid on one of those.

Many times you can get a great combination rate, meaning if you also include a car rental or hotel stay, they may offer a good discount on the whole package. You can also find cheap flights in Greece by Internet when you check out the different airlines websites looking at their scheduled stops and transfers. Many airlines offer reduced prices depending on the number of transfers involved as many people want a flight that goes straight through without stops. So, if you do not mind having to make a few plane changes or if you do not have a problem having to wait a while at an airport during layovers, then you should be able to get a great deal.

In order to find cheap flights in Greece by Internet you only need to have Internet access, a little patience and perhaps a little luck.

Within 5 years there were already a handful of start-up airlines offering their services in Britain. In March 1924, the four best known of these: Handley Page, Instone, AT&T, and British Air Marine Navigation merged into one larger company called Imperial Airways and offered flights around the British Empire.

As Imperial Airways grew in size, it became a forerunner of a modern airline, offering flights to countries all across the world including Canada and Australia, and competed effectively with the Airships that dominated the era.

In 1935, a rival arrived on the scene. British Airways Ltd was formed from a number of small privately owned companies and quickly developed into a company of similar size. By 1939, just before the Second World War broke out, the British Government nationalised the two airlines and created a new, government owned agency known as the British Overseas Airways Corporation or BOAC for short.

The final stage in these early decades of BA came in 1949, when BOAC was separated into two separate entities: British European Airways, which carried out short haul flights into Europe, and BOAC, which continued to serve the rest of the world. These two siblings served the world at the beginning of the jet age in the 1950s, and became iconic leaders of British innovation.

By the 1970s, fuel costs and industrial concerns over economy saw the government of the day decide that the two companies had become bloated and inefficient and by 1974, after a 4 year process, the tow companies came together as one: British Airways, just in time for the birth of the supersonic age with the Concorde in 1976.

Preparation

1) Plan your hike. You are more likely to have a safe and happy hike if you “plan your hike, and hike your plan”. To rush out on a big hike w/o proper planning is asking for trouble! ALWAYS notify someone close to you where you will be and how long you will be gone.

2) Know your terrain. Use every resource available to get to know your hiking trail before you set out. This will prepare you for the walking conditions. “Are there streams to ford?, Elevation changes?, Is terrain rocky or smooth?”, Just some of the questions that can be answered BEFORE you set out.

3) Know your climate. Hypothermia is real, dangerous, and misunderstood. Hypothermia can strike in relatively warm environments. Hypothermia plain and simple is a rapid cooling of the body. This can be caused by cold, wet or a combination of both. Hypothermia can easily be prevented with proper preparation.

In The Pack Essentials

1) Potable water. Always have fresh water available, on any excursion. It is also a good idea to bring along purification tablets and/or a filtration device. Having the ability to produce drinking water can be just as important as the water you pack in. I also bring along some protein snacks, just in case.

2) First Aid Kit. Although an obvious choice, it is surprising how many folks go in the wilderness without one. Items as simple as pain relief tablets can be a welcome addition when you are far from civilization. Other items are bandages, tweezers, moleskin, antiseptic, needle and thread (for repairs).

3) Fire and light source. Matches and a lighter are essentials for me. I usually pack along a small piece of commercial starter stick for quick fires in moist environments. I also pack a small conventional flashlight and an LED light, as well.

4) Clothing. It is always wise to pack some extra layers. The weight of these items will be dictated by the environment, err to the side of caution, as temps can fluctuate greatly, especially in mountainous environments. An extra pair of socks can be life savers.

5) Orienteering. Packing along a map and compass has gotten me out of a jam more than once. I also carry a cell phone, even though I may not get reception in most places, in a pinch, I may be able to get a call out.

The single most important item to pack on your next hike is common sense. Making sound decisions while on the trail will keep you out of most troubled situations. If you hike with your family members, especially children or seniors, remember that they may not have the stamina handle the same level hike as you, and you ultimately must make the right decision.

An Overview of Libya For Travelers

Libya is located on the northern coast line of Africa. It is surprisingly large country, covering over 1.7 million square miles. Much of the land, however, is arid desert and unused. 90 percent of the population lives along the coast line while the interior of the country has little or no population to speak of. The capital of the country is Tripoli, also the largest population center by far.

The people of Libya are called Libyans. Total population is believed to be 5.6 million and growing at a rate of 2.3 percent a year. Ethnic groups break down as Berber and Arab. Sunni Muslin is the dominant religion and Arabic is the primary language. The literacy rate is 82 percent. Live expectancy is 74.1 percent for men and 78.58 percent for women. In an odd twist, roughly 50 percent of the population is believed to be under the age of 20.

Historically, Libya has been a country ruled by foreign powers. From the Phoenicians to the Carthaginians to the Greeks and Romans, the country has seen little independence. The primary reason for this is the strategic location of Tripoli in relation to shipping lanes in the Mediterranean. Regardless, the country is home to a vast collection of ancient structures and ruins including a near copy of the Coliseum in Rome. For travelers who enjoy historical sightseeing, Libya presents a treasure chest of relatively unexplored finds.

Libya is ruled by Muammar Abu Minyar al-Qadhafi who came to power in 1969 in a military coup. At the time, he was only 28 years old. During his rule, Libya has been known as a hotbed of terrorist activities, particularly with the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Scotland. The country has recently taken major steps to renounce its past and more or less has seen its diplomatic status restored.

From a travelers perspective, Libya is still a bit of an adventuresome area. Using common sense, one should have no problems traveling in the country. Further, the country is making a major effort to attract tourist dollars, and an accepting attitude towards foreigners seems to have come along with this approach.

Much like Cuba, Libya is a country dominated by one man. Although Libya has moved to rejoin the international community, one must wonder what will happen when Qadhafi is gone.
