Something that is necessarily kept in mind in a road trip planning is to travel light-mentally and physically. Last summer my family and me too planned a road one and made sure that we leave no stone unturned to make it an exciting journey. And every one of us had been told that we should travel as “light” as possible and we adhered to the instruction as best as we could. All the preparations were done and the hotel was booked in advance. At least we thought that all the preparations had been done.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">We all had been looking forward to it and finally we started on our much-awaited trip. Once we started the results of traveling light started showing up. </p>Among the many funny kid’s activities is their habit of constantly munching something. But in order to travel light we had not carried anything to eat with us since it was planned that it will be bought en route. But an eating joint or even a kiosk selling snacks or cold drinks was nowhere to be seen for vast stretches. Soon we ran out of water as well. And this was yet another repercussion of traveling light since we had the amount of water which was only half of of what we could have actually. After some time we spotted a small hotel along the roadside to pull over and by now our hunger had got the better of us. Then we got another shock. In order to travel light we were carrying limited cash as it was planned to use credit card over cash. And all the cash had already been spent in the refueling station and the hotel obviously never had the system to accept payments using a credit or debit card. Somehow, we convinced them that we would pay on the onward journey and moved ahead hoping that it would be a smooth journey thereafter.<br/><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"> While we were involved in sharing funny jokes and other funny activities our car started to wobble. We understood that it was time for another surprise gift. It was a flat tire this time. It was already evening and what was supposed to be a memorable trip was soon turning into drudgery. But as we looked around we caught sight of a beautiful landscape which seemed a perfect set up for family fun activities. It was a lake outlined by some mango trees, which luckily had some ripe mango fruits. So we changed all that was originally planned and decided to camp around this lake. Its cool water was the most tempting thing in that summer heat. We played games and funny pranks on each other and did fishing and it was time to share our joy. We had a great time and finally, they became memorable moments for us and now my sweet memories include this trip with my family.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Share your joy and spread your moments. There are a few websites that offer you to do this like myjoypages.com. Whether road trips, funny pranks or silly kid’s stories, you can share them all and add to the memorable moments.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-80048392149747551172013-01-16T09:12:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.482-07:00Corporate TravelCorporate travel is an integral part of a business expansion strategy.

For example, an air ambulance from the East coast of the USA could cost you the thick end of fifty thousand pounds. However, if you have a travel insurance policy, then you do not need to worry about the threat of a financial emergency whilst abroad.</p><br/><p>Many people fail to take out travel insurance cover in the mistaken belief that their other insurance policies, such as health insurance or life insurance, will offer them sufficient cover abroad, when in fact this is rarely the case. A typical travel insurance policy should offer:</p><br/><p>Emergency medical expenses cover, which includes emergency medical costs and an airlift back to the UK for further treatment if necessary</p><br/><p>A twenty four hour emergency helpline, manned 365 days a year</p><br/><p>Liability insurance, in case you accidentally damage property belonging to someone else</p><br/><p>Insurance against the loss or theft of your belongings</p><br/><p>Cancellation and curtailment insurance, in case your holiday plans go awry for whatever reason</p><br/><p>Other things that it might cover include personal accident cover, legal expenses insurance, and financial protection against the likelihood of your airline going bankrupt before or during your holiday.</p><br/><p>However, it is extremely rare for travel insurance policies to pay out on claims arising from drink or drug abuse. </p>Also, if you have not taken sensible precautions against the damaging or theft of your belongings, then the insurer may not be willing to pay for replacements, so it can pay to be careful even if you are insured.<br/><p>The best way to get a good deal on your travel insurance is to shop around online to find the right insurance at the right price. Avoid getting the cheapest insurance if it does not provide you with all the cover that you require, as this could turn out to be a false economy should anything go wrong on holiday.</p><br/><p>If you are making more than one trip per year, you might want to consider taking out an annual travel insurance policy, rather than a separate policy for every trip. Not only will this save you the hassle of having to sort out travel insurance every time you leave the country, but it can also save you a lot of money as well.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-15322647576171653742013-01-12T00:02:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.493-07:00Cheap travel<p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> When the time has come to go on holiday we need to consider what type of holiday. If your budget is limited you may look at the cheap travel option. Look over the internet and local papers for cheap travel options. You should find some good cheap deals. The coach travel is a good one as is the train but do not rule out air travel as the market is abundant with cheap low budget air fares so look well you may be surprised at what you find.<br/></p><br/><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> Please be sure of one thing - cheap travel does not by any means mean a compromise of service or value for money. You are right to expect only the best. So first of all where do you want to go? How can you get there? Now we will look at the methods of transportation at your disposal.<br/></p><br/><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> Cheap travel, or billige rejser in Danish, can include air. </p>Many budget air lines offer remarkable value for money offers if the flight is booked in advance. The strategies they use are the first few seats sell at the lowest price and then they get more expensive as the time for departure gets nearer. So as you can see flight is not to be ruled out even in cheap travel planning.<br/><br/><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> Depending on your destination you may choose the bus, companies run all over Europe so have a good look around for a cheap travel plan from a reputable tour operator or travel agent. Normally bus travel is inexpensive. The only drawback is the length of time it can take to get to and from your destination; it can be days and days.<br/></p><br/><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> The train can also be a good cheap travel option but once again time needs to be spent looking for the bargains. If you book a package holiday the train fair may be subsidized by the tour operator but check it all out and explore the options available over night trains seem a good cheap travel method.<br/></p><br/><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> If you decide to travel by boat, a ferry can take you to many destinations throughout Europe and beyond so have a look in the daily papers for offers of cheap travel, package trips from one night to world tours it’s all out there you just need to look.<br/></p><br/><br/><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/> When choosing your mode of travel, do not rule out your car. Depending on the number of people it can work out a very cheap option and has some benefits you have not conceded. If you have four adults sharing it can be very cheap. The cost of the ferries can be divided by four as can the fuel and you get to stop at places the bus will go past. You really are in charge of what you see and for how long. You can change your travel plans to suit your needs. Once again the only drawback is that the time it can take. But if you have more than one driver the time to travel can be greatly reduced. <br/></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-22689961058197639942013-01-11T04:47:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.458-07:00Incredible Travel Tips from Travel Writers<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Travel writers also face numerous unpleasant incidents as other travelers do. This is not because of some absurd travel ethics, but due to the contingencies that are part and parcel of this experience.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">In this article you will come across incredible <strong>travel information</strong> from some of the best travel writers from around the world. The tips will take you into the world of hard earned travelling wisdom of these travelers that are practical, thoughtful and a wise way out for all types of travelers.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- Always hold some extra copies of your passport while ensuring that these are safe as well. Unfortunately, if you lose your bags with the passport therein, the extra copies will help you right away with your stay in the city. </p>If you must <strong>travel with kids</strong>, be attentive as they might lose their bags easily. <br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- Connect with other travelers and locals in the city through Twitter, Facebook, and blogs. Meet them over coffee and even hang out with them. You will enjoy your vacation more by exploring the local culture, trends and lifestyle.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- You can get scores of <strong>travel information</strong> through local travel guides. However, you must also remember the fact that some travel guides are not updated annually. Purchase the one that is recently updated and composed at least 6 months before publication. Carry up to two travel guides rather than one so you know an unknown place in detail.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- If you have to <strong>travel with kids</strong>, you must distribute the possessions of each traveler into different bags. In case a bag goes missing, no one person will have to suffer completely.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- While selecting clothes, coordinate with one or two colors that would match with more clothing items. This also reduces the number of accessories and shoes that you will have to pack. Pack as few clothes as possible.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- If possible, it is recommended that you take a hotel pick up rather than a taxi. Countries with high crime rates often report more cases with travelers burgled in public transport.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- Keep your necessary documents including passport in a safe pocket in a shirt or jacket that you are wearing. Keep the currency there as well as it is the most important item to take care of.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">- Keep some local currency before you depart, so you have little to worry about cash just as you land. Also distribute the cash at different places of your hand bags so if you lose one of your bags you do not run out of cash completely.</p><br/><p> </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-65956453450824495222013-01-09T10:21:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.272-07:00Spain TravelWhen it comes to traveling to Spain or traveling to any foreign country, you will notice that it is just more convenient if you use a rental car. You'll be able to find a lot of great deals when you look online and talk to your travel agent. You'll find that when you shell out some extra money for cabs and the public transports, you'll only be wasting your money. You could save so much when you just look into renting a car.<br /><br/>Spain is known to have quite progressive attitudes towards gay community and people in Europe. In Spain, gay and lesbian couples have same marriage rights like that of heterosexual couples and they can also exercise their rights of adoption similar to that of heterosexual's. In cities like Barcelona and Madrid, you'll find no sexual discrimination between gays and other part of communities.<br /><br/>If you are looking to see architectural mixed styles, Park Guell is the place to go. Its construction was intended to combine both natural and urban landscapes, which are very fascinating. Buildings here are made with perfection, from the tiling, to the terraces, to the designs. All of the wonderful architectural designs are found here and will definitely amaze you.<br /><br/>Since Spain has a wide range of famous tourist destination, it is always advisable for visitors to have a laid out plan of places to visit to ensure that they end up in the place of their dreams. It is wise to know all the cities to make it easy to choose the destination best suited for you.<br /><br/>Since the places of visit are numerous, a tourist would find it difficult to plan his itinerary. One unique aspect of touring in Spain is that most of the places have some monument which is of historical importance. In fact many of the monuments are a challenge to the modern architects. Therefore before planning your visit, identify your area of interest.<br /><br/>Malaga is the birth place of the famous artist Picasso. Picasso was an artist of great caliber. Artists are of the opinion that Picasso is ultimate and none equal to him were born earlier and none will be born in future. A separate museum has been built next to the world famous palace where the works of Picasso have been exhibited. The entire museum has been built by highly experienced craftsmen who have exhibited their superb crafts work.<br /><br/>The Picos de Europa mountain range in the north is another beautiful site. The expansive range, whose name translates as Peaks of Europe, is home to animals such as the Iberian lynx, Cantabrian brown bear, and the Iberian wolf. The glacially sculpted scenery contains the Lakes of Covadonga, and the surrounding mountains are dotted with quiet country towns.<br /><br/>Madrid - The dazzling Spanish city is famed for its festivity and fervor for music.

I can see where you might be justified to assume that, but you'd be wrong. We just got back from a wonderful trip that makes for a good example.</p><br/><p>We had some vacation time in November... but at that time of year, weather has to play a role in where you're going to go. We talked about going wine tasting in South America or maybe going to Tunisia in North Africa... but we settled on Israel.</p><br/><p>Or should I say, my hubby really wanted to go to Israel. I slowly let myself be talked into the trip, but I have to tell you, I had more than a little travel trepidation about the goings on in the Middle East.</p><br/><p>Counties that routinely end up in the news with stories about violence tend to set many travelers on edge, and you have to admit, Israel has had it's share of unrest. I was so ambivalent about this trip, that I didn't do much of the planning at all... </p>actually I didn't do any!<br/><p>When you start telling friends about a destination like this, you're apt to get a lot of negative feedback. We got that when we went to Jordan and later when we went to Dubai and Oman, but we didn't let that stop us. We definitely got some negative feedback when we started telling people we were going to Israel... things like, "Aren't you scared going there?" ...or... "Keep your head down."</p><br/><p>We both kept saying that things had been pretty quiet recently, and that if anything flared up, we'd just go to Pismo Beach, California! But nothing flared up, and there we were on the plane.</p><br/><p>We practiced what we preach. We stayed in a local hotel... not a big name glitzy one that could be a target. We left all of our jewelry at home. We dressed conservatively so as not to offend anyone, and we tried not to stand out.</p><br/><p>Just like we've found on most trips that make you stretch a little, my travel trepidations were pretty much unfounded on this trip. We arrived in Jerusalem without any reservations. The Israeli Tourist Information desk in the airport was able to get us reservations at a nice little local hotel about a five minute walk from the Jaffa Gate to the Old City.</p><br/><p>People had warned us about walking in the Old City at night. But it gets dark early in November, so once we got to our hotel, what did we do but walk into the old city to find a great little Armenian Tavern for dinner.</p><br/><p>The whole time we were there, we walked in the Old City at night and had no problems. There was all the usual hub-bub in the bazaars, but the "step-into-my-shop", "you're-my-lucky-customer" merchants were polite and friendly when we said no.</p><br/><p>We took the local blue bus 21 to Bethlehem and had lots of help from locals once we got there. When we looked lost catching city buses in Jerusalem, we also had help.</p><br/><p>Each day that went by with more fantastic experiences, I felt sillier and sillier about the travel trepidation I had had. The point is, if you have travel trepidations, but you really want to go someplace, do your research.</p><br/><p>If it's really unsafe, stay away... but most places are safe to travel to, even places that are often in the news. Face down your fears. Once you're there, you'll be glad you did!</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-21872642317827932562013-01-07T12:10:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.361-07:00Travel Favors<p>Although there is no hard and fast rule as to what constitutes a 'travel favor' - they generally fall into two categories: 1) items that one uses when traveling or, 2) items one normally wouldn't take but because they are miniatures of their more popular counterparts or because they are well packaged - they are perfect to take with them on a trip.</p><br/><p><b>Items that one uses when they travel: </b></p><br/><p>The most popular of these favors, especially when given as travel wedding favors, are luggage tag favors. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials - from elegant chrome or silver to whimsical designs (stiletto heels as an example). Most of the tag favors can also serve as unique place cards and holders. Simply remove the informational insert found inside a luggage tag that is meant to be filled out with your contact information. Then, turn it over and on the blank side write your guests names and their table assignment. Insert the 'place card' back in and they are ready for your reception.</p><br/><p>Other travel favors include cosmetic or jewelry bags and suitcase shaped pill boxes.</p><br/><p><b>Items that are in miniature in size or that are packaged to travel well:</b></p><br/><p>Small candles, typically poured into tin containers, are popular travel favors too. They don't take any room in your suitcase and can set a romantic mood no matter where you find yourself. Simply recap them with the tin lid prior to packing them again. A mint tin shaped as a suitcase is also a popular favor. At the reception, when it is given to guests, it always filled with some type of candy (or birdseed/flower seed) but the tins are reusable and perfect to be refilled by your guests with their favorite mints or small candies and then stashed away in a suitcase for when a craving hits. </p><br/><p>Whatever travel party favor you choose to give your guests will appreciate that you've given them something to make their next trip more enjoyable.</p><br/><p>Diva Entertains, Copyright 2009</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-44133166111854825732013-01-05T02:02:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.447-07:00Travel Luggage Tips - How To Travel Light<p>It is not unusual for travelers to shop when they are in their destination. If you are in a country where prices for goods and other commodities are quite cheap, you would want to hoard a lot of stuff. You are tempted to buy more than necessary. Moreover, people cannot help but buy things they do not have in their own country.</p><br/><p>As a result of this shopping spree, the usual light weight of the bag turns heavier. If it is any consolation, you are heading home already and carrying a heavier baggage is better after a good vacation.</p><br/><p>But still, you would want to carry your luggage easily. Here are some tips you should consider:</p><br/><p>1. When buying your luggage, do not just buy the size that can fit the items you are bringing with you. Also allot some space for the things you are going to purchase there. You can also purchase an extra bag when you are in your destination just in case you have shopped a lot.</p><br/><p>If you don't know how much stuff you are going to bring back, choose expandable types of luggage. </p>You can unzip some parts for extra space. This will give your bag more space for your shopped goods.<br/><p>2. Also measure weight of the bag without the contents. The materials have to be durable but lightweight. Choose those with durable hooded casters. Casters made from cheap plastic cannot roll easily. You might end up carrying or dragging your bag. Invest in a good luggage with a good quality.</p><br/><p>3. Pack lightly. Remind yourself that you might end up buying stuff where you are going and you need the extra space inside your bag. Bring only one pair of shoes and make sure it is comfortable enough. Plan your outfit so you do not end up bringing more clothes. Transfer the contents of big bath products to small travel sizes so they can easily fit in your bag. Strategize packing so that you'll have more space.</p><br/><p>4. When shopping, consider the products you are buying. If you can buy those items in your country, you might as well save the space in your bag for other rare or inaccessible products.</p><br/><p>5. Before going to the airport and going back home, measure the weight of your luggage again just in case you have exceeded the weight limit.

Some of us travel more frequently and whether you are planning a single trip or have more than one holiday per year you will probably want to make sure you have adequate travel insurance cover in the unfortunate event that you need to make a claim against your travel insurance. <br/><p>Unfortunately many people often forget to buy travel insurance before they go on holiday and it is not until you run into problems that you realise how important it would have been to have obtained a travel insurance policy in the first place. The main reason people forget to buy travel insurance is because it can take a lot of time and effort to find the right travel insurance policy and that coupled with arranging the holiday itself either puts people off or travel insurance becomes an oversight. </p>Besides who wants to think about insurance when they are planning a holiday? <br/><p>Insurance is not the most exciting thing we can occupy our time with but it does offer peace of mind and is a great help to us when we need it most therefore anyone considering travelling should make insurance a priority especially if you and your family are travelling together. Besides, children are often covered for free if they are dependents of the policy holder and are under 18 years of age.</p> <br/><p>One way of overcoming the boring task of buying travel insurance is to buy a single premium policy or annual travel insurance which allows you to take many holidays which are all covered by one insurance policy. There are always different levels of cover and it is important to check with your travel insurer to find out what length of holiday your insurance policy will cover. For instance, if you are going away for 6 weeks and your annual travel policy on covers vacations of up to 3 or 4 weeks duration, you will find yourself uninsured which will leave you high and dry. Most travel insurance companies will offer up to 4 options for the duration of trip and it is important that you select the most appropriate option for yourself.</p> <br/><p>Another advantage of annual travel insurance is that if you enjoy winter sports, you can ask your insurer if they have a winter sports option so you will be covered for those holiday trips as well. There will generally be an additional premium for this but when you bear in mind that winter sports do have a higher risk of injury associated with them, then you will begin to understand the sense in taking out the winter sports option.</p> <br/><p>Another point to consider when taking out a travel insurance policy is what exclusions and excesses apply. Many travel insurers have a blanket exclusion to cover acts of terrorism. It is worth checking with your insurer what their position on this is prior to purchasing your travel insurance policy. Also the compulsory excess may vary from insurer to insurer. This may affect the travel insurance premium you are quoted when obtaining an insurance quote. Remember, in the event of a travel insurance claim, you will be expected to pay the excess so it is worthwhile considering if this is acceptable to you. The best thing to do is obtain a number of travel insurance quotes especially if you are thinking of buying an annual travel insurance single premium policy. Then compare what each insurer offers so you know which one offers you the best deal.</p> <br/><p>So if you are currently looking for Travel Insurance then why not check out Insurance Online UK at the links shown below</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-65854838524287490582012-12-31T06:31:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.322-07:00Travel Asia<p>Traveling Asia is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. When you travel to Asia, there are so many things to see and do; make sure that you plan your trip in advance. However, remember to leave some free time in you itinerary, because when you travel Asia, you want to make sure that you have the flexibility for an occasional adventure.<br /><br /> <br/>As the largest continent on earth, Asia offers travelers a huge variety of places to visit, things to do and, cultures to see. For first time visitors who travel Asia, we recommend the following:<br /><br /> <br/>Island Nations-<br /> <br/>Indonesia:<br /> <br/>One of the most diverse destinations for travelers to Asia, the Indonesian archipelago can provide enough exciting destinations for a complete trip. Whether you are seeking relaxation, natural beauty, cultural diversity or all of the above, Indonesia will show you an exciting and wonderful Asian travel destination.<br /><br /> <br/>Philippines:<br /> <br/>Comprised of over 7000 islands, the Philippines has become on of Asia’s forgotten travel destinations. </p>Due to a recent history that includes martial law and economic corruption, the Philippines has lost much of its previous tourist activity to its more stable neighbors. Those who do visit will enjoy beautiful spots like the Boracay beaches and Lake Sebu.<br /><br /> <br/>Japan:<br /> <br/>For decades, the island nation of Japan has been a favorite destination for travelers to Asia. From amazing Zen temples to kitschy reproductions of western monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Japan has something for every traveler who visits. The hardest thing is fitting it all in.<br /><br /> <br/>Southeast Asia<br /> <br/>Thailand:<br /> <br/>The Kingdom of Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia drawing more visitors than its neighbors. With both mountainous regions and a beautiful coastline dotted with amazing islands Thailand is one a must see for those who travel to Asia. The city of Bangkok, the largest in Thailand is one of the most popular in all of Asia, as well.<br /><br /> <br/>Vietnam:<br /> <br/>A quickly emerging destination among travelers to Asia, Vietnam is reshaping its image among world travel destinations. From the beaches along the coast, to its soaring inland mountains, Vietnam offers travelers to Asia with a sublime experience.<br /><br /> <br/>Mainland Asia-<br /> <br/>China:<br /> <br/>Too vast for words alone, China is rapidly emerging as the top destination for travelers to Asia. As China continues to modernize both economically and socially, it is becoming easier for those who travel to Asia to visit one of the largest and most populous countries in the world. If you travel to China, follow a loose itinerary and try to see as much as you can.<br /><br /> <br/>Korea:<br /> <br/>South Korea is one of the most westernized of all Asian nations. Travelers to Korea can enjoy the modernity of the capital city, Seoul; or they can try visiting beautiful natural wonders like Songnisan National Park.<br /><br /> <br/>India:<br /> <br/>Another of Asia’s largest and most heavily populated countries, India is a complex and diverse nation unlike any other you will experience when you travel throughout Asia. Visitors to India will be enchanted by its unpredictability and surprising cultural dramas that exist among its inhabitants.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-22842588432849457372012-12-29T03:23:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.392-07:00Libya TravelThe capital city of Libya is Tripoli with the temperature that can get up to 46C in summer while other parts of Libya can be below 25 at the same time. But the climate is generally Mediterranean along the Libyan coast with dry and extreme desert interior.<br /><br/>There are many services available regarding travel to Libya including arrangements to get domestic services to visit different places in Libya. There are flights every day to and from Libya, mostly to Tripoli International Airport, from the major airports like Heathrow, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rome, Cairo and several flights during the week from other European cities like Milan, Manchester and Vienna.<br /><br/>Like Cubans with Castro, most Libyans have only known Gaddafi as their leader. You are accosted with this knowledge at every turn as roadside banners and billboards proclaim "38". This signifies the number of years he has been in power. Marry this to the fact that 50% of Libyans are under age 30 and you have an interesting population. Our guide explains that they are used to him and know how his mind works so they are anxious about who and when he will be replaced. The other posters of him state 1999.9.9 which is the date of the first Africa Unity Organization meeting - another landmark for Gaddafi on his march to "high priest" if you will. Can you imagine Stephen Harper putting up posters of the date of his election to office?<br /><br/>One of Gaddafi's ideas back in 1998 was to offer 0,000 USD to any Libyan who was interested in going to West Africa to help populate the area. You had to go and set up a business there and the local Libyan officer would check your papers and dole out the loan. You did not have to pay it back for 5 years. So our tour guide, Tarek, went to Burkina Faso and met up with another Libyan who had taken the loan. He owned 2 restaurants - one in Ouagadougou and one in Accra - and so Tarek became the manager of both restaurants. It was also a good way to get away from his mother who was bugging him to get married. So life was quite good for 2 or 3 years but then the world changed in 2001 and he moved back to Libya.<br /><br/>The port came as a gift from Septimius Severus. Born in Leptis in 145AD, this local boy made so good that he became an emperor, the only African to have reached that level. (While on the subject, he died in York.) Leptis, by now rich from olive oil, greatly prospered further from his benefaction, a relationship celebrated in the triumphal arch.<br /><br/>The arch is still there, almost intact. You can see its obsequious marble fresco in the National Museum. Like many other colossal buildings, it has been rendered to its present state initially by the desert and much later by the Italians. Shattered by earthquakes, Leptis lay buried in sand till the 1920s, when the Italians excavated and meticulously restored it during their colonization of Libya.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-19384114047143803952012-12-27T08:40:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.415-07:00Apt travelers love travel deals<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Nearly half of the US online leisure travelers give high importance to their monthly incomes or savings in hand while planning vacation trips, said Forrester in one of its surveys.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">The survey reflected the perception of travelers spending online and their leans towards daily deals.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Although the independent researcher found out that only eight per cent of the travelers approached deal of the day websites for travel deals, it expected growing numbers of ‘bookers’ for internet travelling agents because of “new internet-focused travel pricing and planning tools and models”.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Not general but it is a fact that US citizens like to visit daily deal websites to get the far-fetched savings on what they buy.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">For a business or leisure trip, deal of the day is a best tool to whittle down the cost of main component that is travelling.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">It is really a solace for them when Virgin America sells a 0 air ticket for , Frontier’s coupon requires payment instead of , or a travel deal by Southwest is available at rather than original .</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Until recent past, flash sale websites and online travelling agencies were the sole discount houses used to offer off-fare air tickets to trippers besides holiday packages and night stays.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Leading daily deal players like Groupon and LivingSocial challenged the monopoly by publicizing travelling dedicated deals.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Chicago-based Groupon partnered with Expedia, the global leading internet traveling agency, to economize business or leisure trips while Washington D.C.’s LivingSocial also comes up with money saving expedition plans on and off for, what it claims, its 47 million customers in 25 countries.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Adding convenience further, mobile apps also become windows to unbeatable discounts.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Daily deal sites enrich the deal grabbing experience of discount seekers by replicating desktop’s environment for mobile platform.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Let alone couponing websites, deal aggregators are also introducing mobile apps for their subscribers so that they can catch the best deals on the go instantly.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Big names including Groupon and LivingSocial have launched mobile apps while Yipit, a deal aggregator, has also not left behind in the race of hooking up mobile discount seekers to its aggregation service.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Unquestionably, increasing mobile usage is prompting daily deal companies to keep abreast with the palpable shift to mobile from desktop environment after the advent of smartphones. </p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">“Apple has sold almost 60 million iPhones world wide, while Google’s Android OS is growing at 886 per cent year on year and now activating over 160,000 devices a day, across 60 devices in over 40 countries,” Business Insider reported digitalbuzz in a November’s story.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Handheld devices are liked by online shoppers for their modern services dolled up by an introduction of zip code-induced deal tracing technology of daily deal sites.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">A code will pull nearby deals up on the screen. </p>That is a progressive value addition.<br/><p style="text-align: justify;">While laying hands on the hot deals through mobile phones during mobility is a kindling experience, fishing out last minute deals is incomparably exciting.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Daily deals help airliners to optimize occupancy rates and score new passengers</p><br/><p> </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-32513899290717333762012-12-25T03:36:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.292-07:00Travel Planning"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Also, a journey of a thousand miles needs to be well planned in order for you to enjoy it thoroughly. Whether the travel involves adventure, exploring nature, a leisurely stay at a resort, or a series of business meetings, if the intricacies of travel planning are overlooked it can quickly become a nightmarish experience. This especially holds true for vacations when the last thing you want on your mind is work!!<br/>Each kind of travel has its own specific requirements. Depending on your reason for travel, you need to plan accordingly. Travel planning is even more essential when it is with your family, as those are the times when you want to extract the most memorable moments from your vacation. Once your destination is chosen, the next things to work out are logistics. The gear you pack can vary from casual clothes and swim suits for adventure, to formal attire, for business travel. The need to take along your personal gadgets could also differ from a camcorder for capturing those fun filled pictures, to a laptop, essential for your board meeting. It is necessary to preempt the luggage you would be carrying along as there are weight restrictions specified by various airlines for luggage. Similarly, every country has different regulations/ constraints for carrying foreign currency. If youre visiting a place for the first time, it makes sense to use the services of a professional travel agent who can not only get you a good deal but also to suggest ways to go about preparing for your travel and what precautions to take to safeguard your belongings in a foreign land.<br/>If you are planning to drive, ensure that you carry the requisite documents along with you. License, auto insurance papers, rental/ registration papers etc. For other means of travel, youll need booking confirmations and boarding or travel tickets, at all times apart from passport, visa (if needed) and any other proof of identity.<br/>Here are some practical tips:<br/>1.Register your travel plans with your state department, so that you can be contacted in case of an emergency.<br/>2.Leave a copy of your itinerary, passport page, travel insurance and visas with your family or friends.<br/>3.Ensure you have sufficient overseas medical coverage. You dont want to blow up all your holiday money on treatment/medication incase you need medical treatment.<br/>4.If you plan to drive abroad, ensure you are familiar with the weather and road conditions as also with the car youre driving and have the documents you need to carry along handy at all times.<br/>5.Familiarize yourself with the foreign countrys laws, culture and common customs. The more at home you are, the lesser are chances of you being cheated at any point.<br/>6.Subscribe to country specific information, travel warnings and alerts, if necessary.<br/>7.Know the countrys import restrictions.<br/>8.Get yourself a vaccination, if necessary.<br/>9.Senior travelers consider the following:<br/>a.Pack light for a comfortable journey.<br/>b.Make sure you keep extra copies of all your important documents at a secure place. Medical insurance is an absolute necessity!<br/>c.Check the weather conditions of your destination beforehand. Dont experiment at a new place which might be uncomfortable.<br/>d.Do not over plan. Keep your schedule stress free.<br/>e.Travel in groups. That way not only do you have great company of like minded people but also a strong support system.<br/>f. Look out for senior friendly travel deals and discounts. Organizations like AAA, AARP and a host of senior related websites will be able to offer you good deals and advice on ideal places for vacation.<br /><br/>A little travel planning in advance can leave you with wonderful memories of your trip. Take out the time beforehand to research and prepare. Its time well spent!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-72970218361158485482012-12-23T00:59:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.402-07:00Udaipur Travel<p>About Udaipur:<br/>Udaipur is one of the most beautiful cities of Heritage state of Rajasthan. This beautiful city is famous all over India for its lakes, this is why the city is also known as ''Lake City'' or ''City of Lakes''. Just because of its picturesque sights Udaipur is also known by several names like, 'Venice of the East', 'Kashmir of Rajasthan' and 'The Most Romantic City of India'. This amazing city was founded by Rana Udai Singh, father of Maharana Pratap. Then it was the capital of Rajputs kingdom of Mewar.<br /><br/>Attractions of Udaipur:<br/>Set amidst the gorgeous Aravali hills, having a number of beautiful lakes in its lap Udaipur city is one of the best tourists destinations of Rajasthan. The city has numerous palaces, lakes, temples and monuments, that leave an everlasting impression in the minds of visitors.<br /><br/>City Palace:<br/>This massive structure is a complex of palaces, situated in the east of the bank of lake Pichola. </p>It was built by Maharana Udai Singh and afterwards several extensions were made. This palace complex has a series of small and big palaces along with museums and gardens. This wonderful palace is the rich fusion of Rajasthani, Mughal, Medieval European and Chinese Architecture.<br /><br/>Lake Palace:<br/>This white palace is located in lake Pichola, hence it seems to float on the still water of the beautiful lake. The palace is counted not only amongst the best architectures of Rajasthan but also counted among the most beautiful palaces in the world. This splendid building reflects the royal and lavish life style of Maharajas of Rajasthan.<br /><br/>Lakes:<br/>Udaipur is primarily known for its magnificent lakes, the most famous lakes of the city are:<br /><br/>Fateh Sagar Lake: This artificial lake is situated in the north of Lake Pichola, which was constructed by Maharana Jai Singh in 1678 AD and was further reconstructed and extended by Maharana Fateh Singh. This lake bounds three awesome island, among which Nehru Park is the largest island.

Active travel, adventure travel, leisure travel, eco-tourism. Do you really need to know what it all means? Not really. In the grand scheme of things you define your own travel style, and it may change from day to day.<br /><br/>You may go to an island and choose to sit on the beach one day, and go scuba diving the next. You may spend a day in the spa that resort has down in a palm grove and go bike riding the next. You're active one day and quiet as a slug the next.<br /><br/>But if you are signing up for a tour, you should find out what that particular tour operator means when they say active travel. In general, an active tour will focus more on travel and transportation that requires physical activity... walking or cycling as opposed to riding along in a van or bus.<br /><br/>Most tours that fall into this category have a lot of outdoor activities.<br /><br/>OK, you say, but you can do a lot of walking if you're sightseeing in a big city. </p>You're right, even museum tours or garden tours can give you a workout, but active travel sort of indicates that you will be outdoors and biking or hiking or rafting or even horseback riding.<br /><br/>Some companies spell it out for you pretty well... they'll tell you the activity level that will be required for the whole tour...<br /><br/>Will there be a lot of hiking or walking? For how many hours or how many miles or kilometers. Will there be lots of stairs or hills to climb? They may even have a "scoring" system all the way from easy to difficult... of course, you need to know what their definition of easy is!<br /><br/>A trekking company, for instance, might say Level One, or Easy is 3-5 hours of walking up to six miles a day with low altitude.... While Level Four or Strenuous is 5-8 hours of hiking in mountainous terrain at higher elevations.<br /><br/>Will you be staying in hotels? Or mountain huts where you share a bunkhouse arrangement with other travelers? Or will you be camping.... sleeping in tents? Your tour operator should give you an idea of the type of accommodations you can expect from rugged or spartan to luxury. You could be going on an African safari in the middle of the Kalahari, but if you stayed in a tent at Jack's Camp, you would definitely find yourself reveling in the luxury category... and still be active in your travels.<br /><br/>You may even find that you relieve more "workaday" anxieties and frustrations with active vacations than you would just sitting on the beach, eating and drinking the night away. Activity is good for you, and sometimes it leaves you just a little tired and more relaxed at the end of the day.<br /><br/>Brochures may use the terms active or adventure travel interchangeably. We think of adventure travel as a little more of a reach.... something that is more apt to get you a little out of your comfort zone. Active travel doesn't necessarily do that.... but it may make you break a sweat.<br /><br/>And what's wrong with that?<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-62074453019593119402012-12-20T06:12:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.437-07:00Traveling to Africa ? 3 Important Travel Tips<p>Africa is more than just an exotic travel destination. Its a world apart and one of the most unique and special travel experiences you will ever have. The continent has so much to offer and with the rich and diverse natural beauty you are bound to end up in some rural parts that is not always as safe as what you may be used to in a first world country. There are a lot of things you need to be careful of when traveling to Africa and although there is no need to be paranoid, being cautious is very important to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.</p><br/><p>Here are 3 things that you must pay particular attention to.</p><br/><p>1. Medical Precautions</p><br/><p>Before you travel to any part of Africa you need to check which pills you need to drink before you leave. Malaria is a very real and present danger all through the continent and if you are traveling to certain parts you are required to finish certain courses of prescription pills well in advance of your travel. </p>This is crucial to keep you safe from the treat of diseases that can be life threatening.<br/><p>2. Personal Security</p><br/><p>In Africa, local police and security is not at all what it is elsewhere in the world. There is a lot of issues with tourists being targeted for petty crimes and sometimes even more serious attacks. In most cities you will be fine, but when you go off the beaten track into more rural areas you need to pay particular attention to never walk alone – especially in deserted areas. Always check with your local embassy on the current political climate of any region you are traveling to and make sure that you avoid areas where there is conflict.</p><br/><p>3. Insurance</p><br/><p>When it comes to security at airports and hotels, then you’d be surprised at some of the stories. At certain airports and in certain countries airport personal routinely raid passenger’s luggage and help themselves to whatever they feel like. Its really important that you have adequate insurance – especially for stuff like cameras, laptops and other valuables. Its also good practice to keep your travel documents on you at all times and try and carry as little cash on you as possible. Keep valuable jewelery at home as it will only attract pick pockets.</p><br/><p>Read more about Kenya vacations at http://kenyavacationsite.com.</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-18916119117728038162012-12-19T05:05:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.332-07:00Travelers Constipation<p>The flip side of travelers' diarrhea is constipation. While the old scourge of "tourista" gets most of the publicity, so to speak, constipation is almost as prevalent among travelers... and for some of the same reasons. No, it probably won't be the water, but it can be the jet lag and the diet that bind you up.<br /><br/>Being tired from not sleeping well on the plane, being dehydrated, the stress of travel... all of these may add to your problem. But wait, you say, I thought those caused diarrhea! Yep, they can cause both, depending on all the other circumstances, and depending on your body. What gives some people the runs, clogs up others.<br /><br/>It may be that you traded off your usual fiber-fortified morning cereal for a fiber-free continental breakfast... Too much refined bread and the cheeses that go with it maybe? My grandmother used to say, "Eat cheese, it's binding."<br /><br/>I used to love all those new breads and cheeses to sample for breakfast when we travel, but now I try to eat those "active enzyme yogurts" before we travel, and I look for yogurt and fiber rich foods at the breakfast buffet.<br /><br/>Our bodies are conditioned to the clock, and your body clock is all off if you've passed over several time zones.... </p>so for a couple of days, your body (and your bowels) can't figure out when it's supposed to work.<br /><br/>When it comes, don't ignore the urge... you may be walking down the street in a foreign city and think, "Oh no! Not now!" Well, not going will just block things up more later, so do your best to find a toilet. Eventually your body will get on a schedule in your new time zone.<br /><br/>Remember to call it a toilet or WC. Calling it a restroom will only confuse people in many countries. And speaking of the facilities... Sometimes it can even be the strange bathroom facilities that cause travelers' constipation in some people.<br /><br/>Those facilities may not be as clean as you're used to... or you could encounter one of those "hole-in-the-ground toilets" instead of "the porcelain throne". Some people just can't go when the facilities are so different. I guess you'd better be looking for higher end (so to speak) hotels where things are more apt to be what you're used to.<br /><br/>When you go on vacation, you probably drink more alcohol than you do at home. Alcohol can dehydrate you, and that can make you more apt to suffer irregularity.<br /><br/>Drink plenty of water and fruit juices. Try to keep meals on a regular schedule, and try to eat plenty of raw fruits and leafy vegetables. Go for the prunes, granola, and yogurt if you get the chance at breakfast. You might want to try taking packets of a fiber supplement like Metamucil along.<br /><br/>And get plenty of exercise.... it'll help get things moving again.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988006024881594471.post-59864599741762630232012-12-18T07:25:00.000-08:002014-10-01T03:12:00.372-07:00Jaipur TravelJaipur also known as the Pink City is the most popular tourist destination of the state of Rajasthan.

Some of the best ways to get that great air deal are searching the Internet and visiting airline agencies. Airline companies that have just entered the industry offer a great deal of promotional fares. However, it is advisable to check different promotional offers and find the cheapest, instead of settling for the first that you chance upon. <br/><p>Frequent flier miles, student fares and senior citizen discounts are other options. Discount travelers should keep a flexible travel schedule. If the promo of an airline states that they only give discounts on a certain day of the week, departure dates should coincide with the same. Monday is usually the busiest day of the week in the airline industry; Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days that have fewer reservations, so tickets are sold cheap on these days. </p>Some airlines offer travel packages such as car rental or hotel room discounts along with the air ticket. <br/><p>Another option is approaching consolidators or discount travel agents who buy blocks of tickets and sell them at reduced prices.</p> <br/><p>Budget travel guides can prove pretty useful in planning your trip. The Internet is a great resource for online budget travel guides.

A few millennia ago traders and sea farers undertook arduous journeys across the seven seas and the five continents in the name of commerce. Today company executives undertake the same journeys, sometimes even visiting the same cities in the name of corporate travel.</p> <br/><p>With the globalization of international trade and emerging markets, business travel has grown exponentially. Following the post Second World War era and the expansion of trade and commerce many corporate organizations looked towards expanding their horizons and spreading beyond their homelands. This concept is not entirely new, for example the colonial eras preceding the 20th century saw certain European companies expanding into Asia, Australia and Africa. </p>Following this phenomenon and the emerging markets in Asia and Latin America fuelled the growth of business travel. <br/><p>Especially with the current lull in the global economy, increasing inflation, high oil prices and the specter of terrorism leisure travel has seen a decrease. However, by stark contrast business travel has been increasing rapidly. Many attribute this to North American companies outsourcing production to emerging Asian players such as China, Vietnam and Thailand. Also the booming economies of India and China have made it the place to be as far as trade and commerce is concerned.</p> <br/><p>With a number of factors fuelling the growth of business travel, many airlines, hotels and other travel related service providers have been quick to explore this vibrant market segment. Business travelers are mostly affluent and demand a certain level of sophistication. They also require tools to facilitate their business transactions such as meeting and conferencing facilities, the latest communications technology and most importantly a serene environment at the hotel they chose to stay in.</p> <br/><p>For business travellers to treading all around the world, Langham Hotels offer a luxurious gateway. Langham International, a reputed luxury hotel chain offers great comforts to business travelers from around the world at its numerous properties.</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08130558839783817091noreply@blogger.com0
