When is the Best Time to Visit Paris?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 08:12:00 -0700

When planning a trip to Paris, one of your most pressing questions is likely to be "when is the best time to go?" If you're set to visit Paris for the first time, you may be persuaded that the much-lauded "Paris in the springtime" is the obvious choice-- but depending on your budget, tolerance for large crowds, and centers of interest, another time of year may suit you better.

Similarly, if you've been to Paris before, you may wonder whether a fall or winter visit will be worthwhile, given rumors of cold, bitter conditions and gloomy locals. The reality, though, is far more nuanced-- the winter holiday season in Paris offers plenty of light and celebration, and in the fall, events like the Montmartre Wine Harvest bring the city to life in a memorable way.

As a resident of the city of light, my own take is that every season here has its charms and pitfalls-- as anywhere else! Use this guide to help make an informed decision about when to plan your Parisian sojourn. Browse the resources below to navigate to detailed guides on each season.

Travel to Atlanta on a Budget

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 21:36:00 -0700

This is not really a story about what to see and do in Atlanta. It is an attempt at getting you around this bustling city without destroying your budget. As with most heavily visited cities, Atlanta offers plenty of easy ways to pay top dollar for things that won't really enhance your experience. Get a PopOut Street Map of Atlanta.

When to Visit:

Many of Atlanta's visitors come here to make flight connections or attend business meetings. But if you have a choice, almost any season beyond the very hot, humid summer is a pleasant time to visit. Winters tend to be mild, but they also bring the occasional paralyzing ice storm. Autumn features festival time to the north in the Georgia mountains. Getting Here:

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the world's busiest passenger airport. It is located 10 miles SW of downtown. It can be an expensive ride into the city, so look for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) trains that stop at the west entrance to the terminal complex. MARTA trains arrive and depart from the airport every eight minutes. The trip downtown takes 15 minutes. By car, I-75 is the north-south route that runs from Detroit to Miami. I-85 takes a diagonal route NE to SW. I-20 runs E-W. The freeway that circles Atlanta is I-285, commonly called "The Perimeter" by locals. Getting Around:

Airport trains make ground transportation cheaper here. MARTA offers a number of discount programs, including those for visitors, college students and seniors or disabled riders. Visitors can buy a one-day, unlimited pass for $8; if you'll be here for four days, the price falls to about $3/day. Where to Stay:

Finding an affordable hotel room in Atlanta isn't difficult unless there is a major event in town. Major chains such as Sheraton and Marriott offer business travelers the needed amenities at multiple locations (Marriott alone has 70 properties in greater Atlanta). There are less expensive alternatives for those who don't have business needs. Priceline can turn up some good deals. I recently paid $58/night on a Priceline bid to stay in a Midtown business-class hotel where rack rates were running nearly $200/night. Four-star hotel for under $150/night: Emory Inn near the Emory University School of Nursing. Where to Eat:

The Varsity bills itself as the world's largest Drive-In restaurant (in business since 1928). It's not a health food place, but it is an Atlanta experience. The chili-cheese dogs and orange sodas are the meal of choice for most visitors. More upscale meals can be found in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, just a few miles north of Midtown on Peachtree. Here, trendy restaurants open and close, while a few stalwarts continue. For a look at the prices and cuisines offered, consult CreativeLoafing.com, and don't miss their budget dining recommendations. Educational Atlanta:

Atlanta is very much a "college town," with a host of renowned campuses in the area. These can be the source of inexpensive and top-quality events, museums and entertainment. Atlanta University Center Consortium in the West End Historic District is home to a number of historically Black colleges that offer many opportunities throughout the year. In the midtown area (north of downtown) lies Georgia Tech, with its sprawling campus and ACC sports offerings. Emory University is just east of the downtown area. In all of these areas, it's possible to find cheap meals. Look for the places that cater to students and enjoy. Sports of all Sorts:

Atlantans love their Braves baseball, Falcons football and Hawks basketball. The University of Georgia (in Athens, about 70 miles to the east) offers Southeastern Conference sports, and is a strong rival for Atlanta's Georgia Tech, which plays in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Atlanta Motor Speedway south of Atlanta near Hampton, Ga. hosts two Winston Cup races each year and many other smaller events. Discount outlets such as StubHub are possible sources for tickets. More Atlanta Tips:

Price those Trans-Continental flights from Atlanta carefully. Many travelers prefer departing the U.S. from Atlanta rather than New York. But be warned: Trans-Atlantic fares from New York are usually less expensive.

Spend some time on Auburn Avenue. Along this avenue, you will find the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the birth home of Dr. Martin Luther King, and The King Center, where visitors experience the life and teachings of the civil rights leader. For this powerful experience, you pay no admission fee, but donations are accepted.

Day Trip #1: Chattanooga. Less than two hours north of Atlanta lies Chattanooga, the home of Tennessee Aquarium and its IMAX theatre and a host of low-cost nearby attractions such as the famous Appalachian Trail and a number of Civil War sites.

Day Trip #2: North Georgia Mountains. Just a few hours from Atlanta are some of the most picturesque vistas in the eastern United States. Great hiking, camping and eating establishments can be found in the mountains. Check out the area's fine system of State Parks.

Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. This museum is relatively new on the Atlanta scene, but displays a wide variety of art and charges just $3 admission for adults, and $1 for children. Discounts for Six Flags Over Georgia Print tickets or passes for the park before you leave home and save money.

Find out what's happening at Piedmont Park. This is among the nation's largest urban parks, and it hosts a variety of events throughout the year.

Consult About's excellent Atlanta site For the latest information on happenings, clubs, dining and hotel options and much more, take a look at the Atlanta for Tourists and Residents site. Not all the information is budget-oriented, but you'll be able to plan your trip quickly with the latest information. That planning in itself is a money-saving task.

Disneyland Dream Parade

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 04:22:00 -0700

The main Disneyland Parade currently running is 'Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade', taking place each day at 4pm. There is also a smaller one, a train with a number of Disney Characters doing the round of the park several times a day. The 'Once Upon a Dream Parade' though is definitely the highlight, and worth seeing a couple of times.

Keep in mind that it will get very crowded. On the positive side, this is also the time to go exploring the park once you've seen the parade as queues at attractions dwindle to a Disneyland minimum (read: you'll still queue for 30-40 minutes at the more popular ones).

The Parade

Float 1: Dreams of Imagination - featuring a giant sun-shaped hot air balloon, as well as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and Chip 'n Dale

Float 2: Dreams of Laughter & Fun - the first one dedicated to feature film cartoons, this is a mixture of Pinocchio and Alice in Wonderland. Walking in front of the float are playing cards, White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter. Decorations include supersized Alice in the White Rabbit's house, Jiminy Cricket, the Cheshire Cat, etc.

Float 3: Dreams of Friendship - this one is Winnie the Pooh/Toy Story. Little Green Soldiers, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Hamm, Slinky Dog are on the Toy Story side, while Winnie, Tigger, Piglet and Eyeore are on the Winnie the Pooh side.

Float 4: Dreams of Fantasy - Mary Poppins/Peter Pan. Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Wendy and Peter Pan are all there, as are Bert and Mary Poppins herself.

Float 5: Dreams of Power - the villains float (usually accompanied by a strong smell of sulphur!). Chernabog, the Jafar cobra, Wicked Queen from Snow White, Hades and Ursula are featured.

Float 6: Dreams of Adventure - Lion King/Jugle Book. Featuring an old tree depicting a number of smaller characters, the big attractions are Simba, Rafiki and of courseTimon & Pumbaa. Various animals from those 2 films are visible in the tree's branches, including the snake Kaa. Also King Louie's and Baloo dancing.

Floats 7-8: Dreams of Romance - the kids favourite, princes and princesses floats. Ariel and Prince Eric as well as Aladdin and Jasmine are on the first one, with Snow White, Cinderella, Princess Aurora, and Belle with respective grooms on the second. The couples come down from the floats to dance along the route.

Walt Disney World Hotels in Orlando, Florida

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:25:00 -0800

Located just outside of Orlando, Florida, the Walt Disney World resort stretches across 47 square miles and welcomes millions of guests each year. Disney offers a wide range of hotels just minutes from the parks, with benefits such as free transportation and extra hours in the parks. You can book a resort in the value, moderate, deluxe or home away from home category, depending on your budget. All Disney resorts are nonsmoking and have rooms equipped for guests with special needs.

All Star Music

As a value resort, All Star Music is one of the least expensive options for staying at Disney World. Rooms have either two double beds or one king bed, and some rooms offer family suites that sleep up to six people and include a small kitchenette and two bathrooms. The resort is decorated with larger-than-life icons, with each of the 10 buildings featuring one of five different themes: Calypso, Jazz, Country, Rock and Broadway. Movies are shown nightly on a giant inflatable screen by the main pool, and other activities such as dance parties and games take place poolside throughout the day.

Southern mansions stretched along a swampy river may have you thinking you're in Louisiana, but you're still at Disney World---at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort. You can choose from a room in the mansion-style buildings of Magnolia Bend or from cottages in the more rustic Cajun style of Alligator Bayou. This resort falls into Disney's moderate category and is the only moderate resort to offer rooms with a trundle bed to accommodate a fifth person. Dining options include the sit-down Boatwright's restaurant, the Riverside Mill food court, pizza delivery, a pool bar and a lounge.

You can dine on African cuisine at Jiko or Boma, the resort's two restaurants, order room service or grab something from the Mara food court.

Total Travel Guide to Disneyland Paris

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:20:00 -0700

While some people might never dream of incorporating a thoroughly American stop like Disneyland into their Paris vacation, the fact is that Disneyland Paris is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region – and if you’re traveling with kids, a Disney-aholic, or just want a break in the usual museum/gallery routine, then a day spent at EuroDisney is a great alternative. The fact that it’s easy to reach from Paris, via car or public transportation, makes it even more appealing.

What to Do at Disneyland Paris

Like any true Disney theme park, Disneyland Resort Paris is a combination of amusement park rides, hotels, restaurants, and other recreational attractions. Euro Disney (as Disneyland Paris is often called) includes not one but two theme parks, in fact, and seven hotels.

Disneyland Park Paris
The first Disneyland Paris theme park is Disneyland Park Paris, which includes many of the same features you’ll find at other Disney properties. There’s Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Discoveryland, and the popular Main Street U.S.A. A Disney train runs through several of the different “lands,” allowing for easy access between them.

Walt Disney Studios Park
The other theme park in Disneyland Paris is Walt Disney Studios Park. It opened after Disneyland Park Paris (Walt Disney Studios Park opened in 2002 while Disneyland Park Paris opened in 1992), and the different parts of this theme park are “studio lots.” There’s the Front Lot, Toon Studio, Production Courtyard, and Hollywood Boulevard – and there’s even a Backlot.

Disney Village
There’s more entertainment than just the two theme parks, however – Disney Village is full of restaurants, shops, and attractions that aren’t amusement park rides. The idea of Disney Village is to mimic Disney World’s “Downtown Disney” area, and you’ll find features like Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Dinner Show, an IMAX theatre, a bowling alley, and a disco.

Golf Disneyland
Disney isn’t just for the kids, as evidenced by Golf Disneyland – which has both 9-hole and 18-hole courses. (Although there is a kids section of Golf Disneyland, too!)

Lake Disney
As if it wasn’t enough to have a Disneyland Paris theme park, there’s a man-made lake at EuroDisney – called, what else, Lake Disney – which is at the center of three of the park’s resort hotels. It’s not exactly part of the recreation, but at least it’s pretty.

Where to Stay at Disneyland Paris

As mentioned, there are seven Disney-operated hotels at Disneyland Resort Paris, but those aren’t your only options. You can also choose to stay in one of the six non-Disney hotels near the park which offer free shuttle rides to and from EuroDisney. When you’re booking your hotel, if you’re planning to spend most of your time at Disneyland Paris just make sure to find out about the free shuttles – where they pick up and drop off, and when they run. Also note that if you choose to stay at Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch (which is a Disney-operated hotel), the free shuttle buses don’t run to that hotel.

Getting Around at Disneyland Paris

You can get around most of Paris Disney easily on the Disney Railroad, including getting between the two main theme parks. There are also free shuttle buses which run between almost all the hotels in the area.

Getting to Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Resort Paris is located roughly 20 miles (32 km) east of Paris, and it’s pretty easy to get there whether you’ve got a car at your disposal or not.

*Find the most detailed information about getting from Paris to Disneyland Paris, including by train and by car, and even directions from the airport directly to EuroDisney.

Driving to Disney from Paris
Coming from Paris, you’ll want to take the A4 expressway in the direction Strasbourg/Metz. Disneyland Paris Resort is in Marne-la-Vallee. Take the Peripherique until you get to the east sector near Bercy where you’ll find the A4 exit, direction Metz/Strasbourg. To go directly to the parks, take exit 14, “Parcs Disney/Bailly-Romainvilliers.” To go to the Disney hotels, keep going and follow the signs for “Disney Hotel.” To get to Golf Disneyland, keep going and follow the “Golf” signs. To get to Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch, take exit 13, “Provins.”

*Parking at Paris Disney is free for guests of the Disney Hotels (and some of the other Disney-approved hotels, be sure to ask when you’re booking), and otherwise costs €8 or more per day per car.

*More driving directions from other points in the region can be found on this page.

Taking the Train to Disney from Paris
Either the Thalys, the Eurostar, or the RER A4 will get you right to the entrance gate of Disneyland Paris they all stop at the “Marne-La-Vallee/Chessy” station. Not only is this station right in front of the main entrance to the parks, it’s also very close to all but one of the Disney hotels. Perhaps the easiest train trip is via the RER A from Paris – it takes just 35 minutes one-way to get from the Paris city center to Euro Disney on the express train, and trains run about every 20 minutes. The RER A stops at Charles-de-Gaulle Etoile, Auber, Chatelet-les-Halles, Gare de Lyon and Nation.

Taking the Bus to Disney from Paris Airports
If you’re just gung-ho to get to Disneyland Paris right away, then you can take an airport shuttle bus directly to the theme park. The VEA Airport Shuttle Bus links Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport with six of the Disney hotels. It runs every 15-60 minutes, 7 days a week. You can find out more on the bus company’s official website, or by calling +33 (0) 1 72 30 10 25. (Note that VEA is not suitable for disabled guests, nor is it available to or from Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch.)

Visitor Information for Disneyland Paris
Park Open Hours: Depends on the season, but in the low season Disneyland Park Paris is open Sunday-Thursday 10:00-19:00, Friday-Saturday 10:00-21:00; Walt Disney Studios is open Sunday-Thursday 10:00-18:00, Friday-Saturday 10:00-19:00 – in the high season, the parks tend to stay open later, but don’t necessarily open earlier.

More Information for Disneyland Paris
The official Disney Paris website is here, where you then choose the country you live in (this is for both language and travel deal purposes, so you don’t necessarily want to click on the British flag if you live in the U.S. – you can get to the United States page by clicking “Other Countries” on the right and then choosing USA from the drop-down menu, or by clicking this link).

Buy Disneyland Paris tickets
You’ll find special ticket offers from Disneyland Resort Paris on this page.
(Oh, and a word of caution – these websites all come with very Disney-filed soundtracks and sound effects, so if you’re planning your Paris Disney vacation at work, you might want to hit the mute button before you visit.)

Telephone (in Paris) – 087 050 30303

Top Fun Facts About Disneyland Paris!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:47:00 -0700

Disneyland Paris has had its share of controversy, catastrophe and crisis, but its position in the pantheon of top European and world tourist destinations has been assured for many years now. No matter whether you fall into the equally vocal ‘love it’ or ‘hate it’ camps, here are five fun facts about the eternally divisive yet popular theme park resort.

Serious planning to bring the Disney franchise to Europe followed the immediate success of the Disney theme park in Tokyo in 1983. The idea had been passed around by senior executives in the company for ten years before that but, at that time, it made more financial sense to go to Japan first. It took another nine years of planning, negotiating and building before the Euro Disney park opened to the public in 1992.

The location of the park had been the subject of intense debate during the planning stages. The original idea had been to locate the park on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to take advantage of a warmer climate similar to the ones enjoyed by the American Disney resorts in Florida and California. France and Spain were both vying to play host to the park. The actual location was eventually chosen to be as close as possible to the largest target audience possible. Disneyland Paris is believed to be no more than four hours drive away for seventy million people and no more than a two hour flight away from three hundred million more.

The resort is huge, approximately 4,800 acres divided into two distinct theme parks, seven Disney owned hotels, six Disney associated hotels, an obligatory golf course and the resort’s very own railway station connected to the Parisian suburban transport network and international airports.

Disneyland Paris receives approximately twelve million visitors per year which makes it by far the most popular tourist attraction in Europe, easily beating such stalwarts as Buckingham Palace and the Eiffel Tower. In fact, Disneyland Paris is the fourth most visited tourist attraction in the world. The other three are the Disney resorts in Florida, California and Tokyo.

The name change from Euro Disney to Disneyland Paris came about after the company did some basic market research to establish why visitor numbers in the first years were so much lower than projected. One suggested reason was the connotations of the word ‘Euro’. To an American audience this suggested exotic glamour and cultured excitement. However, it was discovered that to a European audience, the word ‘Euro’ was associated with mundane finance and dour, repetitive work.

Eiffel Tower - Paris, France

The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous structures in the world. It was named after Alexandre Eiffel whose team of engineers designed it. It cost £260,000 to build in 1889 with most of the money being provided by Eiffel himself and the French state. The Eiffel Tower rises to a height of 985 feet and for over forty years it was the highest structure in the world.

The top may be reached by using lifts and stairs with the first platform being 57,6 metres (189 feet), the second being 116 metres (380 feet) and the third at 276 metres (906 feet) above the ground. The structure is largely composed of triangulated sections and this allowed the engineers to build the tower so high.

It was originally looked upon as a temporary structure, built for the 1889 Worlds Fair. The Worlds Fair coincided with the centenary of the French Revolution. For forty years it was the tallest man-made structure in the world.

The Eiffel Tower was the entrance arch to the Worlds Fair and it was one of a number of designs entered as part of a competition. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel's company won the competition and so the the Tower became known as the Eiffel Tower. However, it was Morris Koechlin, an employee of Eiffel that designed the thousand foot structure.

Koechlin was a junior employees of the Eiffel Construction Business which specialised in the designing and building of bridges and viaducts al over the world. one of his first jobs was to design the framework for the Statues of Liberty.

His first design for the tower was rejected by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel as it was very plain and lacked 'class' and it was only after adding more graceful, ornate features that Eiffel decided to enter it for the competition. Eiffel also stated that he would finance the project to 80% of the cost of construction.

The original idea was for the tower to be dismantled after a twenty year period. However, it was so well built and engineered that it was decided to leave it in position. The various parts (of which there were thousands) were so well engineered that not even one had to be returned to workshops for alteration.

After the first year of opening so much money had be raised from people visiting the tower that the cost of construction was covered and Eiffel became rich.

Alexandre Gustave Eiffel conducted experiments on the tower such as using it as a giant pendulum, a pressure gauge, an instrument for measuring air resistance and atmospheric pressure. In 1898 it was discovered that the tower could also be used a magnificent radio tower. Consequently the Eiffel Tower was saved.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:49:00 -0700

Orlando-based travel companies created the Top 10 Free Activities at Disney World. These are the ten best, fun activities at Disney World that do not cost a penny.

1. Downtown Disney - You can walk around this huge shopping, dining and entertainment complex at Disney World. There is free entertainment at the Downtown Disney Marketplace that includes getting your picture taken with statutes of Buzz Lightyear and a pirate from the crew of the Flying Duchess, watching the boats, sprites, and ferries travel across the bay, pin trading at the pin pavilion, and the kids can play at the LegoLand playground and Legos area.

To stay cool, the kids can bring their swimsuits and play in the water jet area. Additionally, Westside (the western side of Downtown Disney) has several excellent restaurants, including Bongos Cuban Café, House of Blues, and Wolfgang Puck’s. Virgin Records also has a two-story store on the Westside that carries books, music, and videos. All of which can be sampled for FREE while visiting this store.

2. Animal Programs at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - You can visit the animals in the savanna at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Depending on your viewing location, of which there are several, you will see giraffe, pelicans, flamingos, monkeys, and gazelles roaming the 33-acre wildlife preserve that surrounds the resort.

There are several educational programs throughout the day including special viewings in the evening with night vision goggles and special feeding times throughout the day. At the end of the day, stories will be told around the fire pit just outside the main lobby.

3. Hidden Mickey Hunt - Take a Hidden Mickey Hunt around any of the Disney resorts. Many of the resort front desks will have a Hidden Mickey guide for that resort, such as the Hidden Mickey Safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. These hidden versions of the classic Mickey ears logo (°o°) can be found throughout Disney property. This is a fun activity for kids and adults!

4. Stables & Petting Zoo - Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort has a fun area near Pioneer Hall that has stables with horses from Magic Kingdom and a petting zoo area. Plus for a nominal fee, kids can take a pony ride.

Also, this ride will take you over one of the engineering feats on Disney property, the water “bridge.” This canal passes over a road as cars pass “under” the water.

Family Travel Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 2 Oct 2011 15:55:00 -0700

1. Attitude is everything:

Expect problems, go with the flow and everything will work out great. Travel is hard and traveling with kids is even harder. But if you treat your trip like an adventure, annoyances, missteps and mishaps simply become small obstacles for your hearty band of explorers to overcome. I mean, seriously, do you think Dora would let a two-hour delay get to her? Would Indiana Jones get stressed out because the restaurant doesn't have chicken fingers? This applies just as much for parents as for children. If dogs can sense fear, you better believe your seven-year-old can. If you get stressed when you can't find your hotel, your kids will get stressed too. When you think of it as "exploring the neighborhood," everyone will feel better.

2. Things to bring:

Don't forget the drugs. It's always a good idea to travel with some children's Tylenol (or whatever you prefer) so that you don't have to worry about tracking down a drug store in a strange neighborhood at 11 P.M. Depending on how much space you have, you might want to bring small containers of cough syrup or Claritin as well. Finally, some parents swear by it and some parents detest it, but Benadryl can go a long way. Especially with long flights, giving you child something to help them sleep can make everyone a lot happier.

And definitely don't forget the baby wipes. Even if your kid was out of diapers during the Clinton administration, baby wipes are invaluable when traveling. As one reader wrote, "You can clean hands, faces, toilet seats, almost anything with them. On a hot day you can even wipe your face & neck with them to cool down a bit."

Other useful items. Kids get dirty, especially when they're traveling. Bring a small container of special travel detergent (the Tide from your garage won't work) so you can use your hotel sink to remove the damage from your child's meatball mishap. Ziploc bags have thousands of uses and take up hardly any space. Bring a variety of sizes if you can. Finally, a small, sturdy nightlight can help turn a scary hotel room into a cozy den.

3. Leave at the right time:

If you kids nap, use their schedules to your advantage. For example, if you've got a long car ride, see if you can't leave an hour or so before their nap time. Most kids can entertain themselves for a little while so that buys you some time right there. Once they fall asleep around their normal nap time, you just bought yourself an hour or two of bliss on the way to your destination. This can work for flights as well. If you want to push your luck with this strategy, consider a red-eye flight. Especially if you're flying coast to coast (at least in the U.S.), you can try to entertain a kid for 6 hours on a daytime flight or you can have them sleep on a flight that leaves at 11 PM. Be warned, however, this is a high-risk, high-return gambit. When executed to perfection, you get on the plane, give your kid his teddy bear and wake up 3,000 miles away. When things go awry, however, you are awake all night enduring glares from the people seated near you and the whole family is transformed into cranky zombies the next day.

4. Getting the most out of your flight:

Do a little pre-planning. I always start with SeatGuru.com to check out the layout of my flight and try to pick good seats. Map out aisles, windows and think about where to place your family. Do you want everyone in the same row or would you really rather spread them out a little because Johnnie is always getting under Janie's skin? You can get creative here.

Special meals. For the airlines that still serve food, most have Children's meals. They tend to include more kid friendly options and often come with toys or stickers.

Board separately. Lots of airlines have dropped special boarding for families with small children. If that's an option for you, consider using it, especially if there is only one grown-up. But for me, I like to split up the parents to minimize the amount of time you spend on the plane. Send Sherpa Daddy onto the plane first with as much stuff as he can carry. Keep Mom or Grandpa or whoever in the boarding area until the gate agents physically force you onto the plane. This way your kids can run around and burn energy in the much roomier boarding area than in the 672 square inches they will attempt to occupy for the next four hours.

5. Choose your toys and books wisely. Toys with lots of small, moving parts are bound to end up as vacuum food. "One-trick" toys also take the express train for boredom town. Things like a good set of portable art supplies with crayons, markers and some paper can transform into hours of amusement (or at least distraction). One school of thought is to bring your kids' favorites. If you daughter can play at home with her Groovy Girl for four hours, it's probably a pretty good bet it will entertain her in the car as well. Another school of thought suggests holding toys in reserve for travel. Save a couple of brand-new toys to be dramatically unveiled just when your child is about to meltdown.

Adventure Travel

Are you tired of the same old boring vacations? Maybe you hit the beach one year and climb mountains the next.

Booking.com offers dozens of links to vacation packages and ideas that you possibly have never dreamed of. How about a dogs lading tour of the Far North? Or tackle a bicycling course over a breathtaking mountain route? Visit a cooking school in Tuscany or an artist’s gallery in Paris.

Maybe you’re a more action-oriented adventurer and could go for an African safari, a kayaking journey, or a walking tour of northern England’s lake district. You can sign up for trips without kids, without men, or without luggage (much, anyway). Go for cheap or pull out all stops to make this the event of a lifetime. Whatever your age, abilities, interests, or skills, you can find a vacation package to make memories that will last forever.

For adventure excursions into the wild, you may want to pack light, at least for the day of any vigorous action, so you won’t have to watch over extra suitcases or bags. Bring along a good camera to get quality shots and perhaps footage of your delectable experiences.

Start planning now by browsing online sites. The sooner you begin, the better deal you may get, along with your choice of dates and bookings.

Business Travel

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:46:00 -0700

Business travel is the practice of people traveling for purposes related to their work. It is
on the rise especially with foreign business markets opening up. 450 million business trips were completed by United States residences in 2010, this accounted for approximately $245 billion dollars towards the economy.

Many airlines began to concentrate on providing premium service on long haul flights especially for the first and business class business traveler with the development of more sophisticated business traveler needs over the last 15 years.

American Airlines was the first airline to offer a frequent flier program to customers. The Advantage program began in May 1981 and included Hertz car rental and Hyatt hotel. The first hotel to start an independent hotel program was Holiday Inn; they began in January 1983. National Car Rental was the first car rental company to introduce a program back in March 1987. Airlines have also been working on tools that benefit the business travellers such as: Improved and competitive mileage programs, quick check in and online check in, lounges with broadband connection, etc. Hotels are not far behind. They are also on the competition for the business travellers by offering flexible points programs, broadband connection in all rooms and fast check in and check out services.

While internet booking engines have become the first destination for around 60% of leisure travelers, business travelers, especially with the need for itineraries that may include more than one destination, have still found that a knowledgeable travel agent may be their best resource for better ticket pricing, less hassle and better air and land travel planning.

Top three expense categories for business travel:
1. Airline expenses
2. Hotel expenses
3. Food and beverage expenses
