It Is Spring Break Time. Now All You Have To Do Is Find The Best USA Destination For Your Spring Break Vacation.

By Grace Charvin

There is one must-do event on any college students calendar - the Spring Break vacation.

There are so many destinations across the USA where you can go for your Spring Break vacation.

Panama City Beach's close proximity to many southern colleges, moderate prices, outrageous nightlife and more liberal attitudes towards Spring Break activities, make it the current major destination for Spring Break. Today when people speak about Spring Break in the USA, they're often referring to Panama City Beach, with more than 500,000 students a year making Panama City Beach their Spring Break destination. Panama City Beach has over 27 miles of white beaches on the Florida Gulf Coast and the locals in Panama City Beach are also glad to see Spring Breakers.

Proudly living up to the slogan "Everything's Bigger in Texas!" makes South Padre Island in Texas one of the hottest Spring Break destinations. The fact that it is only 30 minutes away from Mexico makes it a potential Two Nation Vacation. South Padre Island offers many beachside activities each day during Spring Break and South Padre Island has been rated as one of the top beaches in the world and comes alive during Spring Break, hosting some of the most active and wildest events. Spring Break provides a welcome boost to the local economy and the town works together with corporate sponsors to create special Spring Break events.

Daytona Beach has re-emerged as a top Spring Break destination. If you are looking for a Spring Break with a mix of beer, beach, parties and excellent tourist attractions, Daytona Beach is the place. Daytona Beach has become a major tourist destination with millions of visitors annually. Daytona Beach is also close enough for daytrips to the theme parks in Orlando. This amazing 23 mile stretch of wide, white sand beach has long been one of the hottest Spring Break destinations in Florida.

One of the new up and coming destinations for Spring Break is Las Vegas. Las Vegas has the advantage over other Spring Break destinations in that there is always something going on, so just because it is Spring Break time doesn't mean that hotel rooms are going to be sky high. If the room rate plays a big part in making your Spring Break 2013 destination decision, you should look at Las Vegas. But remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

Another destination becoming popular with college students for Spring Break is Fort Lauderdale's beach city to the south, South Beach Miami.

Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco in Mexico, as well as the Bahamas, Jamaica and other Caribbean islands are just some of the popular International Spring Break destinations. One of the major factors for the increase in overseas destinations is the lower minimum drinking ages in these countries.

I'm sure you will have a blast wherever you decide to go.

Holidays In Massachusetts In The Fall, Scenic Drive Through The Berkshires

By Peter Burns

In New England the fall is known as foliage season. Many tourists, and other visitors, travel to new England to see the beautiful fall landscapes, and to visit some of the historic towns and cities. This brief article gives some help and advice for those taking holidays in Massachusetts in the fall.

The Massachusetts tourist motto is "Massachusetts: It's All Here", as the state is one where you can drive from the beaches and dunes in the east, to the rolling tree covered hills in the west, in less than three hours. Visitors who arrive in their own car, or who are hiring a car, can plan a route to see the best displays of fall foliage.

There are numerous books, and quite a few websites, covering scenic routes through New England in the fall. The Mohawk Trail is New England's first official scenic motor route, and it can be combined with a trip over the top of Mount Greylock, Massachusetts' highest peak.

Via Mount Greylock and the Mohawk Trail, one can take a scenic drive through the Berkshires, and see views of five states from the top of Massachusetts' highest mountain. Note that the route up Mount Greylock is closed in winter after the first of November.

The section of the drive along Route 2 from the MASS-NY border to the Connecticut River was designated a scenic tourist route by the state legislature in 1914, right at the start of America's love affair with the automobile. This is the Mohawk Trail, a pathway first trodden by the native American tribes, and now a highway through spectacular mountain scenery. As well as spectacular fall scenery, and views such as those of the Hoosac Valley from Route 2's Hairpin Turn, one can visit the Mohawk Trail State Forest (6,457 acres) in Charlemont, where there are several original Indian trails now marked out as hiking trails.

It is possible to travel the Mohawk Trail, without crossing over the top of Mount Greylock, but if you make the ascent, and climb the 92ft. War Memorial Tower at the summit, you will be rewarded with a view of unspoiled, natural landscapes in five different states.

Penis Rock in China

By Jonny Blair

China is still an unknown travel gem for the most part, I really believe that. Especially for those that cannot speak Chinese. For example my latest trip to China was to Shaoguan and Danxiashan both in the north of the Guangdong province, neither of which are even recognised as locations on most travel websites. I was the only foreigner in sight, and certainly the only one to do the hike to Penis Rock. These unknown gems of China even fail to make it into the popular traveller's bible The Lonely Planet. In fact, not even the city of Shaoguan is featured in the latest edition - China Lonely Planet. []

What is Penis Rock? (in Chinese "Yang Yuan Stone")

Basically it's a rock in the shape of a man's sausage! Whatever name you want to call your penis. It is a naturally formed rock in that shape and even has the same curves at the top!

Accessibility is easy if you're Chinese - if you're not, then get ready for a tiring adventure to find Penis Rock. Luckily with my girlfriend being fluent in both Chinese languages, it was easy for us to get to Penis Rock.

First of all you need to get to the city of Shaoguan in North Guangdong Province. We got there from high speed train from Shenzhen. Timetable here: Shenzhen to ShaoguanLiving in Hong Kong at present, most of my China adventures start off with a border crossing into Shenzhen. To confuse you even more, Shaoguan has TWO train stations, we needed a bus between the two of them to get a connecting bus to the Danxia Mountains. Nobody really speaks English in Shaoguan, though the Chinese folk in the city are extremely hospitable and friendly.

When visiting Danxiashan you should stay in the village of Yao Tang up in the mountains. You can get a hotel there easily and it is also near another small village called Jin Jiang. This is where the walk to penis rock starts.

You need an entrance ticket. They are valid for 48 hours and cost 120 Yuan (RMB). We were there at the weekend, apparently tickets are cheaper at 100 Yuan (RMB) during the week. You have to buy them at the ticket office just before you cross into the National Park.

You'll need to get a map of Danxiashan and it will be entirely in Chinese so do your best to work it all out and ask at the hotel if you need to. Most of the signposts inside the national park are in English though which is a real bonus.

The view from the top of the Pavilion is outstanding. On the other side you view an incredible sunset from the top of a Fortress. Finally I had to do at least one funny photo when I was there at Penis Rock. The Chinese are such a shy race when it comes to sex, nudity and willies, this photo attracted more odd looks than laughs!

What Is It? A rock shaped like a penis

Why visit? Amazing sunset, odd shaped rocks, cheap drinks, decent hiking and fantastic views.

Rough daily cost - Under $10 US

The Rainforests Of The Ancient Mayans Are Still Pristine

By Linda Patterson

The Mayan rainforest is second to the Amazon rainforest. It stretches across the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Belize as well as Northern Guatemala. Currently, it ranks as among the most well known regions for Mayan jungle tours as well as for relaxing and exciting family vacations. It is a haven for diverse plant and animal life. It had provided for the ancient Maya civilization and considered as a natural resources treasure-trove.

The Mayan rainforest was always attractive, untouched and mysterious. After the ancient Mayans came to exist centuries back they must have been encompassed by tall trees establishing an impenetrable cover overhead as well as thick scrub at their feet. However, credit would go to the ancient members of this civilization to have discovered means to make use of the plants and creatures in the most effective way possible as well as adjust to the forest in order to get lots of advantages from it.

The majority of the ancient people were in fact born gifted healers and it is from nature that they get their healing powers. They make their remedies out of the natural resources provided by the jungle. Their forefathers perform traditional healing rituals that were passed on to the next generation. The ritual is carried out by means of invoking the four natural elements like fire, earth, air and water.

Most of the Central America countries have tropical climate and experience dry and wet season throughout the year. Due to the fact that a rainforest has the delicate ecosystem, it truly is vital for just about any civilization that wishes to survive to become sensitive to its natural environment. The environment is given importance by the Mayans which are reflected through their rituals, inscriptions, sculptures, and text arts.

The tropical rainforests possess a thin layer of top soil and historians are left wondering how the Mayans were able to construct their huge cities even with this limitation. Researchers stated that the ingenious methods for storing rainwater and cautiously selected farming methods have enabled the Mayans to sustain a very large population for many centuries. It is important to manage the available resources properly as this can save any civilization from being extinct.

They were able to provide for their city through building large water reservoirs which were first discovered in 2010 by archaeologists inside the walls of the Uxul Mayan city. The reservoir has a large area that is why they called it monster pools. They also referred to these as 'aguadas' which supply drinking water to the city dwellers. The base of the aguada was discovered to have been made with ceramic shards and the top covering was created from limestone, a rock which is bountiful in these areas. People have been impressed with the originality of this system owing to the fact that the water is locked securely from all of the sides of the reservoir, guaranteeing water supply throughout the dry months.

The world was amazed with its majestic buildings and the quality of their construction. They've utilized the limestone in the rainforests as construction materials which have exhibited their workmanship and that have allowed their buildings to have endured the test of time.

The well known Mayan ceramic art is caused by the supply of clay on the river banks which was first collected after which shaped in order to produce lovely pieces of art.

The rich tropical rainforest was left behind by the Mayans and it has continued to provide today's generation with natural resources. A guided adventure tour will take you to the heart of the tropical jungle through to the ancient Mayan ruins.

Guidelines On Preparing For The Best Backpacking Trips

By Frances Keith

Most people planning a backpacking trip that will take several days usually wonder how they can make it great. They would love to know the best way to make preparations for a successful hiking trip. Several tips can be utilized to help in reducing the risks likely to occur during a hike while making it a success. Here are some tips thy backpackers can find of assistance in panning for the best backpacking trips.

Great food is a vital must-have. Backpackers should take time to plan their meals such that at the end of every exhausting hike day, they have something delicious to eat. There are so many light weight diet options available and the backpackers just have to choose the one that suits them most. There is nothing as good as a delicious meal in the evening after a great outing during the day. Making good meal preparations can contribute to a memorable hiking experience.

When planning for trip, the companions that one chooses, whether it will be a group or just a couple, matters a lot. Having fellow hikers with a shared vision helps in having fun together as a couple or a group, while also reducing tension. For example, the best hiking mate can be one who enjoys the physical challenges presented by walking large distances every day. Additionally, a mate who loves stopping to take pictures or look at flowers can be ideal.

Perhaps the most important thing to do is research on the hiking destination and route. If the backpacking expedition is going to a new place, one or several of the hikers should research the route, purchase and remember to carry maps, and if a GPS locator will be used, load the waypoints into it. The hike should be planned in a way that the slowest group member will arrive at the next stop before dusk.

Carrying light gear is paramount. While gear may not be lightweight, over the years it has been pruned to the bare essentials, and it is recommended that hikers do the same. Every ounce removed in the stuff carried on the whole trip is an ounce less on the hikers back and feet as they walk. To save weight, removing food packaging, spare clothing and fuel is advisable.

Comfortable shoes are major contributor of a successful backpacking trip. Before setting out on the hike, the hike team should ensure their footwear is comfortable and well broken in. Attempting to break them in by just walking on the nearest footpaths is not enough. What is recommended is that the team tries them on rough roads while wearing the backpacks.

Before embarking on a trip, it is important to inform someone on the destination and set return date. This may not do much to make the trip itself successful, but in case something goes wrong the team members can be assisted out of trouble. Accurate information about the hike route and when the participants will be expected back should be left with a close friend or relative.

Some of the best backpacking trips include those organized in cool hiking places. With some many fantastic hiking tracks to choose from, a group should single out the best to make the trip a success.

The first Full Moon Party occurred at a nightclub not far from the beach in 1985. Back then some tourists organised a party to celebrate the majestic full moon that was going to light up the night sky. News of the event quickly spread and the small party grew to become the Full Moon Party we know today. Paradise Bungalows is the name of the original location of the Full Moon Party and these days there will often be an international DJ there on the night of the Full Moon Party.

People from all over the world starting gathering in Koh Phangan early in the morning of a full moon as expectations for the nights festivities of the Full Moon Party commence.

The Full Moon Party commences around sunset, when the moon appears in the skies over Haad Rin and party goers come out of their hotels and head to the beach

Restaurants and packed bars all along the beach play all kinds of music to suit all tastes and serve up plenty of not only traditional Thai food, but also American, Italian, or French cuisine.

By Frances Keith

These activities may not require you to spend too much. Camping is one of the things that you might enjoy doing. However, there are guidelines that you should remember to maintain the safety of your party. Ensuring the safety of the North Florida campgrounds is one way to do so.

As what was stated, there should be enough preparation to be made before anyone can go on a camping trip. A person must know his or her limits while on the trip and planning ahead as well as bringing the important things that will be used for a new adventure. Simply follow some of these guidelines and you will surely have fun.

It is really best if you can plan ahead of the things that you should do such as determining the location of your choice. Aside from that, you must also remember another thing if you are not used to going on camps. You can start really simple by having some day trips in preparation for a camping activity.

During these kinds of trips, you should know that insect bites are common. Some plants can also be the cause of allergic reactions. There can also be instances wherein you will be facing changes in the weather where it can be really cold and hot. Getting lost is also another issue that you can face. You have to make yourself prepared in all these kinds of situations.

However, you can also ease your mind by simply trying out several solutions to those concerns. Buy an insect repellent to protect yourself from insect bites. Pack some cream and put it inside a kit along with first aid materials to serve as a momentary solution to allergies. You must also wear something right for the weather to avoid getting sick.

There is also a good solution once you get lost in the campgrounds or at the site. Make sure that before taking the trip, you have studied about reading as well as finding directions. This is a skill that campers must possess. Those who are interested in trekking in the wilderness should bring along a compass together with a topographical map.

Meanwhile, getting to know the possible things that are dangerous that can happen to you is necessary. You have to prepare yourself for these kinds of unwanted situations. Examples of such is a tree that has fallen or forest fires.

You should do your best to find a spot that will not risk your safety as well as the other campers. Scouting the area prior to setting up tents is pretty much the basic thing to do. In building fire pits, you can find a clearing as well as previous pits.

North Florida campgrounds must also offer a supply of water that is clean and safe. If there is none, then bringing along your supply is the solution. Food must also be packed and should be enough for the entire trip.

Development Of Youth Travel Programs In Education Centers

By Kathryn Neal

Youth travel programs have become a basic foundation for kids and teenagers in schools as far as their studies are concerned. Such trips are usually carried out by the respective schools. Many business entities are now specializing in this area so as to reap from increased demand. What is done is that they negotiate the entire costs for the whole trip.

This is a program for students to see for themselves practically in terms of what they have learned theoretically in class. The development of this initiative is hugely supported by traveling companies that are offering a way out for those schools having difficulties in undertaking it. They provide transport, accommodation and even meals once the required amount of money has been paid.

Moreover, they end up learning about different cultures especially if their destination is to another country. Here, the students have the ability to learn about the customs embraced by such communities since time in memorial. Such an interaction truly boosts their relationship and social engagements with different persons around the world. Exchange of culture is one thing that usually unifies people from different backgrounds.

They learn quite a lot and develop a sense of respect for different peoples. This program has been seen as the best way to appreciate people from different areas and accept their culture and history. It is on such a foundation that peace is built upon and studies become more interesting as opposed to the boredom in classroom since it is known that seeing is the easiest way of understanding any given concept and theory.

With all these benefits, it is relevant to consider a few requirements for this program before undertaking it. First of all are the costs chargeable per each student or the whole group. They have to be manageable for any school. Most companies usually offer a complete package which includes transport means, accommodation and food but; in case they are high; negotiations can be carried out for the parents of the youths to take care of one part whereas the school meets the other.

The duration of stay and traveling to the respective areas is another area for consideration. This usually manifests itself in terms of costs to incur. In other instances, the period has to be sufficient enough to cover all the aspects the students have traveled to study and analyze. Therefore, this is another determining factor to consider.

The likes and dislikes of the students should be considered. This is supposed to be a trip for leisure, learning and monotony breaking for sitting long hours in classrooms. A choice has to be made with regards to whether they want to travel to another country or not.

The final issue, that is very sensitive in terms of organizing youth travel programs for schools, is that of security. With cases of abductions being reported worldwide, it is necessary to choose a destination which will guarantee the protection of the students and their teachers. If possible, it is good to inform the authorities of any given area of the intended visit in advance.

By Jennie Sandoval

If you are planning for a vacation for your family, you should already be preparing for it right now. You should be doing research right about Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya rentals now and for the activities that you would like you and your family to do during the entire vacation. Another thing that you need to prepare is the place where you will be staying.

Check if this is not a peak season for the hotel industry. A last minute booking is not good when it is peak season because chances are that hotels would be fully book during those times. Even if the schedule of your vacation falls not on a peak season, still it is better to scout for possible places to stay in as early as now so that you have ample time to do the research.

The staff must be knowledgeable about the amenities of the hotel. Guests ask questions like where the best restaurant is. Some guests ask hotel staff for recommendations of restaurants, activities to do and places to visit. You may want to get in touch with a travel agent.

You need to do some research in order to find a good place. Check the internet for different hotels. There are many hotels and accommodation services that are being advertised on the internet. Check on them and see photos of their places. Photos of the room are uploaded in websites of hotels.

So one of the first thing that you do is to find the website of the hotel. It is not difficult to find because links to various business establishments are all over the internet. They are provided by anyone. An online directory can provide you listings of various hotels.

Some customers who were giving feedback about the service of a business establishment left a link to the website of the company he was referring in his comments. A link to the company's website can also be found in the directory where you found the company. Choose a place with amenities that you like.

A person who is bringing along his family has different needs from a person who is going solo on a vacation. Consider the needs of your family especially if there are kids. The amenities of the place are detailed in the website of the establishment or hotel. Try checking with your friends and family also.

They might have some information about a travel agency that you can contact for the service. A travel agent can be contacted for this purpose. A travel agent is another professional who can help with bookings. He can be employed by a travel agent. Enlisting the help of a travel agent is good because this person is knowledgeable about making reservations.

The place should be close to the activities of the family. If you are planning to go kayaking, then choose a hotel that is near to bodies of water. You should be familiar with the available amenities of the Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya rentals. This is so that you know what to expect from the place.

Travel Without Costing A Bomb With These Nice Advice

By Gerry Kind

Over the course of one year, millions to billions of people travel all over the world. Traveling can be a pretty thrilling and fun experience, but there are a couple of things to notice when deciding to go. If you follow the travel advice found in this post, you will be ready for your journey.

When traveling by air, stay as close as possible to your departure gate, especially as your boarding time approaches. This is also correct if your flight is delayed. You'll only hear announcements about your flight if you're near your gate. And regardless of whether you've checked in, if you aren't at the gate when they board, you'll be left at the back.

Take a freight liner to cross the sea next time you vacation overseas. Using alternative travel techniques is the best way to enjoy a singular experience. Freight liners have accommodations on board for the employees. Certain ships have opened up the accommodations to passengers. It is sort of a personal liner minus the casinos. The freight liners have restaurants!

To keep yourself from getting stiff during a long drive, try jogging. Each time you visit a rest stop, jog around it a number of times, and spur the folks traveling with you to do the same. This will get your blood circulating, relieving stiffness, and keeping you awake and alert.

If you're traveling to another country, look into engaging a guide that speaks English to take you around the town. For about $15-20 a day, it is easy to get a local that speaks English well to show you all of the must sees, help you navigate the area, and even just aid you with stuff like ordering food or reading signs.

Buy tiny travel bottles to use when you pack. Most airlines and airports have tight limitations on having liquids on the aeroplane. Generally you will only be permitted around four oz. per bottle. Pour your favourite lotions, shampoos, and soaps into the tiny bottles, before you put them in your baggage.

Always ensure you have somebody taking care of your home while you are traveling. You want to also ensure you leave your contact info with them in case of an emergency. They will need to make sure they've got some way of contacting you in case something fails.

Avoid eating any foods that have not been cooked while you're traveling in another land. This means avoiding salads and raw veggies, as well as any fruits with thin skins like apples, plums, or pears. If you want to have a fruit, stick with something with thick skin like a banana, orange, or coconut.

Naturally you would like to take a handful of gifts back to the people you like. This takes up much time from your trip and much luggage space on the way home. Simply a tip: Enjoy your trip, and do not spend all of your time buying folks that are not on the trip with you.

To conclude, many individuals travel every year to nations all around the world. When traveling, there are always important key points not to forget while on your trip, and before your trip even starts. If you follow the major points found in this post, your trip will be relaxing and pleasurable.

The Famous Ancient Ruler Of The Ancient Mayan City Of Palenque

By Frank D. Gardner

It would take 15 minutes for a traveler to arrive the Palenque archaeological site from the town of Palenque in the Chiapas State of Mexico. In this archaeological site, impressive structures and many archaeological finds can be found, making this ancient city very interesting for those who want to know more about this ancient civilization. Moreover, thi is the city that was ruled by The Great King Pakal II who was one of the most recognized Mayan rulers.

Tours To The Ancient Maya City Of Palenque

This very old city is now a National Park and there are great tours offered to this place. There is a museum that can be visited wherein one can see a number of treasures that are on display. If you are done visiting the museum, one can opt to explore the jungle and cross the hanging bridge that will lead you to 'The Queen's Bath', which is a well known sweet water creek. You may also go to 'The Temple of the Cross', 'The Palace', and the 'Temple of the Inscriptions' which is the most remarkable and also the most important ancient structure dominating the plaza where the Tumba real or grave of King Pakal (K'nich Kan B'alam) is found.

Palenque's Museum

In the museum, one can find many treasures and remnant that serve as evidence of this ancient civilization. The well restored throne which was taken from 'The Palace' can be found in the museum. Two of Kan B'alam II's statues from the 'Temple of The Cross' (one is a stucco head and one is a full statue) along with other restored artifacts found in the ancient city are also displayed in the museum.

The Complex Palace

Palenque's palace is a complex of a number of connected as well as adjacent building structures and courtyards. During the Mayan era, it served as a place for ritual and a residential quarter for the city's ruler. Ornate benches can be seen in most of the rooms in the Palace. These benches were used as thrones by the rulers. You'll also find holes on the walls that could have been used for pegs that held tapestries, which are used to cover the doorways as well as to separate the rooms. Constructed at different times and in many stages, The Tower was the last structure built prior to the abandonment of the city. Courtyards, houses and buildings comprised and divided the entire Palace, making it complex and an impressive structure.

The Temple Of The Cross Complex

Under the rule of the Great King Pakal II, The Temple of the Cross was built to commemorate the important dates in his life up to his succession to the throne. There are rumors spreading that the King might be actually laid to rest here and not on the Temple of the Inscription. This temple is also in pyramid form. A statue of Kan B'alam is on the top part with his father the first King Pakal in a smaller figure in front. Various other researches nevertheless deemed that the two figures could possibly be both Kan B'alam, one showing him as a young man plus the other as the king. The Tree or the Holy Ceiba can be found between the figures which represents the entrance to the otherworld.

The Significant Temple of the Inscriptions

From the Mesoamerica era, this temple is deemed to be one of the most vital discoveries. Compared to other many other structures, this pyramid is not as dominating as most. However, it is significant as it holds the tomb of The Great Kan B'alam II, one of the most famous Maya rulers. According to history, the king himself started to rule as king when he was just 12 years and ruled the city for 68 years. That's most likely the key reason why his tomb was the most famous in the Maya ruins. The tomb was covered elegantly with 12 feet by 7 feet, 5 ton splendidly adorned sculptured sarcophagus lid. The cover was intensely as well as meticulously etched with the elegantly dressed king moving down into the otherworld.

The Palenque National Park can be explored in no less than one day. Staying in the area for two to three days will enable one to discover and explore the place's beauty and the wonders of the well known ancient civilization.

Travel Secrets That Are Sure To Make Your Next Trip Exciting

By Maria S. Smiths

When you take time to create a good travel plan, it really does pay off. You have saved a lot of money by planning out things like transportation, so that you can enjoy your vacation with a little extra cash in your pocket. Like with any plan, you can always add and improve. Below are some tips to help.

When flying, always have a bottle of water handy. Drinking plenty of fluids will ensure that your body stays hydrated during the flight. The air inside the cabin is extremely dry, playing havoc with your body. Don't substitute alcohol or caffeine for water, as this can make dehydration worse.

Go to the online visitors bureau of the city you are planning to visit during your trip. They will have lots of information on where to stay, eat, and what kind of entertainment options you will have, as well as special events that may be going on while you will be in town.

If you are traveling overseas and looking for good local food, pay attention to where the locals eat. The presence of a group of cabs, for example, is easy to spot and shows you where the low-cost but good food can be found. The location is also guaranteed to be filled to the brim with local color.

If you've got a long flight coming up, it may be tempting to take a sleep aide to make the travel time go faster. But wait until your plane is up in the air before you take it. If you doze off before it's in the air, you may miss important announcements or worse, be asked to disembark to switch planes.

If you're going on a cruise either by yourself or with only one other person, consider getting the smallest room available. It's usually a lot cheaper and you can put that money to good use. You're not going to want to spend a lot of time in your room except when you're sleeping or washing, so why should you spend a fortune on it?

Before you arrive at your travel destination, search the internet to find a blogger who posts about what's happening in this city. Take the time to email the blogger and ask for his or her recommendations about where you should go. This is a great way to get the inside scoop on your vacation spot.

Travelers without children should not be too quick to judge or get angry with small children on a public mode of transportation. Traveling with children is quite stressful for the parents as well and they are usually highly embarrassed by their child's behavior. Try to remember that you were once a child as well and if in a plane, recognize that high altitudes are quite hard on a small child's inner ears.

As you can see from the previous list of tips, traveling about can really be a fulfilling experience in your life. It takes a lot of research, paperwork, and a lot of asking questions; but it is all worth it in the end to have a memorable and fulfilling trip.

Everything You Need To Know About The Oktoberfest In Munich

By Jordan Ebor

Bavarian beer, cuisine and culture combine to make this one adventure you don't want to miss. Imagine singing along with tens of thousands accompanied by 'oom pah bands', while locals and tourists alike clad in lederhosen and dirndl dresses dance on tables. This is of course Oktoberfest.

This 16 day Oktoberfest festival in Munich is a celebration of what else, but beer. Hence why it has been nicknamed and is more commonly referred to as Beerfest.

One would presume with a name like Oktoberfest it would be held in October, but it actually commences each year in the middle of September and concludes on the first weekend of October.

During the 16 days festivities more than 6 million people from around the world consume more than 6 million litres of beer. That's 1 litre for every man, woman and child who attends.

Oktoberfest had a really unique beginning just over 200 years ago when Ludwig, the Crown Prince of Bavaria, later to become King Ludwig I, married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The residents of Munich attended the wedding, which was held on the fields in front of the city gates and the wedding was seen as a celebration for the whole of Bavaria. As part of the festivities horse races were held towards the end of the event. As an anniversary it was decided the following year to run the horse races again. Little did anyone know at the time, but this was the beginning of what we now know today as Oktoberfest. The festival was eventually lengthened and moved to commence in September to allow for better weather conditions.

So what can you do there I hear you ask? Well drink fantastic beer of course in some of the biggest and best beer venues in the world. The beer halls at Oktoberfest are often refered to beer tents and are non-permanent structures that are constructed for and only used during the festival. There are currently 14 large tents and 20 small tents at Oktoberfest, playing different types of music and entertainment to keep the crowds buzzing.

Not only are there massive beer tents, but the fesitval site has numerous amusement rides, schnapps tents and activities to amuse both young and old. Visitors may also enjoy a wide variety of traditional Bavarian delicacies including pork knuckles, bratwurst sausages, roast chicken, potato/bread dumplings and of course pretzels.

What sort of beer do they have at Oktoberfest? The beer is some of the finest lager varieties in the wold and to be classified as Oktoberfest beer it must be brewed within the city limits of Munich and must conform to to the German Purity Law.

The price of a 1 litre stein (or Mass in German) is around 8 to 9 Euros. However, always remember that if you want your server to return it is customary to tip them, so generally allow 10 Euro's for a beer.

Cancun is a gorgeous paradise that has grown in popularity to become the top international Spring Break destination. Most of the time, especially during the day, Cancun Spring Break Headquarters is around Fat Tuesday, which was featured in the movie, "The Real Cancun".

Mo-Bay, as the locals call it, or Montego Bay in Jamaica is famous for its crystal clear water and constant temperature of between 78 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit or 22 to 28 Celsius. Montego Bay is considered the capital of Spring Break in Jamaica.

Negril - Offers an unspoiled 7 mile stretch of white sand beaches crowned by the low lying cliffs of the West End. In the quest of an endless summer and awesome sunsets, this once sleepy little fishing village was discovered by hippies during the 1960's.

Grand Bahama - Is an island paradise conveniently located less than 100 miles from Miami. It is this close proximity to the United States that has stimulated the development of the island's many resorts and casinos. The island is well known for its reef-protected shoreline with its many cays and white-sand beaches.

Once inhabited by such notables as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Mary Reed, Nassau in the Bahamas is the place to go if it's the pirate's life for you. The island still provides a safe haven for those seeking to escape from despotic academics.

Families Often Seek World Travel Advice

By Javier Mcnear

Obtaining world travel advice is important for individuals who have never traveled abroad. Some places that once were regarded as hot spots for visitors are now embroiled in war or poverty, and thus are not ideal for the average family to visit. Seeking guidance from an agent is probably a good idea, especially if one does not have the time to do a lot of independent research.

One issue that not every traveler is familiar with are the economic problems which have been visited upon both Iceland and Greece. Unfortunately Greece is still struggling at this time, and there have been reports of food riots taking place. Hopefully Greece will see a recovery in the next few years, and their doors will be reopened to the tourists who long to visit.

The Icelanders have gone a long way towards a total economic recovery, having refused any banker funded bail outs. They completely liquidated the government that was in control at the time of their collapse, and have sought to recover economically without foreign intervention. As a result, they have their doors wide open to international tourists.

Not only are there breathtaking scenes and a rich culture, but Iceland boasts the largest animal conservation park on the planet. Because of their recent economic downturn, visitors can take a vacation here for less than what they might spend at many European destinations. Part of the Icelandic recovery plan includes encouraging a rich tourism industry, and visitors from all over can take advantage of this.

Much of the Middle East is caught up in civil war, poverty, and a general economic collapse. However, there are countries such as Saudi Arabia which still boast a booming tourism industry. Saudi Arabia encourages Western visitors to see their many attractions, including artificial island resorts, and their new mile-high hotel.

Japan has many problems right now in the wake of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. However, China is still a gem of a location for international visitors, and they love to see Westerners visiting their Great Wall. Vietnam and Thailand are other Far East nations who encourage tourists to come spend time and a little of their money.

Anyone who seeks world travel advice will discover the many options available which they might not have considered. Some of these exotic locations offer a great adventure, not to mention an opportunity to learn history and culture. Keeping an open mind to unexpected destinations can result in the vacation of a lifetime.

Great Ways To Make Travel Fun And Hassle Free!

By Johnathan Black

When you take time to create a good travel plan, it really does pay off. You have saved a lot of money by planning out things like transportation, so that you can enjoy your vacation with a little extra cash in your pocket. Like with any plan, you can always add and improve. Below are some tips to help.

Save on money and calories during all of your travels by packing snacks, meals and beverages ahead of time. You can make healthier choices when you plan ahead of time, and you will be less likely to overspend on a sugar or fat filled snacks that are grossly overpriced.

Always know where your luggage is. Airline and bus employees have been known to steal items out of cases when they are checked in. Additionally, other travelers might "accidentally" pick up your bag in hopes of finding expensive items. This also allows you to move between transit options faster, instead of standing around waiting for your luggage.

If you are traveling overnight or into the early morning, get your doctor's permission to take a sleeping pill after you board. Eat your breakfast and then drift off to dreamland, and you'll sleep comfortably through the whole flight. Wait until you are airborne to take your pill though, in case your flight is delayed or must return to the gate.

Are you traveling with your pet? Make sure their immunizations are up to date and you have the papers proving it! Also, don't forget the essentials like food, water, leash and bedding. Tucking in a favorite toy or two always helps ease the boredom and helps keep them quite when you really don't want them disturbing the occupants in the next room.

Not everyone can afford to stay at the Ritz, and sometimes you get stuck at a less than one-star hotel. If you aren't comfortable with the area but have no choice, pack an ordinary rubber doorstop. You can wedge it in under the door to your room overnight (in addition to the lock and chain, of course). While intruders can easily break the lock or chain, getting into the room is next to impossible with a door stop firmly lodged beneath the door.

You have the research, the plan, and are now ready to apply them all to a great and well-thought out trip. Fabulous! The above tips were constructed to add to your personal travel plan, as you are never done improving it. You may have even found something new to experience on your next trip.

The Rules And Regulations Of A Sports Academy

By Traci Witt

Discipline is one among the most essential things that an athlete should hold. This is because when training or playing, one must be able to control their behaviors and respect one another. These are some of the things that they are taught when they are in the sports academy. It is, therefore, necessary for them to go through such training.

In these training camps, the athletes are offered counseling on the essential things as a gamer. This is because, in most cases, athletes have been found to be affected by such things as anger and drugs. This is, however, monitored closely when they are in the camp. Trainees are advised on how to manage their anger and told on the adverse effects that drugs can have on them.

In these camps, there are qualified staff who have been employed to ensure that the trainees maintain healthy and the desired weight throughout the training. This is because a strong athlete is expected to achieve more. It is important for them to ensure that two liters of water are included in their diet. Plant proteins are better than animal proteins. Players are also required to eat foods from all the recommended food groups.

The criterion used in the admitting of trainees depends on the age and sex generally. Trainees are recruited and admitted in the camp for the purposes of improving on their business and making their talent better. This is the reason as to why only those who have identified their talents are allowed in the academy.

While in the academy, the participants are expected to maintain high levels of discipline. Trainees are also expected to adhere to the schedule and follow all the rules well. There are some who are elected as prefects and are expected to maintain order in the school. Law offenders are punished accordingly and at times expelled from the school.

In a daily routine, one is expected to wake up in the morning, ensure that everything is clean before taking breakfast and leaving the house. This is one of the rules in the sports academy. This is because the management believes that one should know more about their life other than their career. This is the policy used in the implementation of the cleaning program.

So as, to maintain order and discipline in the camp, the administration found it better to ensure that each group has its own costume. The participants and members are also expected to be in that uniform all the time. The uniform entails the fabrics, coat and shoes. The men in the school are expected to maintain short neat hair and without earrings on their ears.

From the discussion above, a sports academy is an essential tool in the ladder of success of an athlete. Players are taught how to handle many things in the course of their profession. This is one among the many benefits they manage to earn while in the camp. They are also not required to pay much for their training.

All The Travel and Tour Information About The Carnival In Rio De Janeiro

By Jordan Ebor

The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is a world famous festival held before Lent every year and considered the biggest carnival in the world with two million people per day on the streets. Rio Carnival is a must-do event on any travellers list.

Rio Carnival is all about parades, dancing, music and infamous street parties. The most famous dance of Rio Carnival is the samba, which is a Brazilian dance with African influences. The samba remains a popular dance not only at Rio Carnival but also in the villages outside of the main cities throughout Brazil.

One of the main purposes of the Rio Carnival parade is for a samba school to compete with other rival samba schools. This competition is the climax of the whole Rio Carnival festival. The samba schools build floats, costumes and create songs and themes (in Carnival terminology called "enredo") for their entries. They also include the best music they can from their drumming band, which is called the bateria. There are many parts to each school's entry including up to eight floats and 4,000 party goers.

The samba is the main dance of Rio Carnival, but music in general is another major aspect of all parts of Rio Carnival. Samba Carnival instruments are an important part of Brazil and the Rio Carnival. The music of Rio Carnival contains amazing beats and rhythms, which has the crowds dancing all over the streets of Rio. The samba that is found in Rio is called batucada and the dance and music are based on percussion instruments.

There can be more than 300 street parties taking place at any given point in time during the Rio Carnival. While the biggest street party takes place right outside the Sambadrome, the largest organized street dance is typically found on Cinelndia Square in Rio's Centro, but numerous street parties take place throughout the city during Rio Carnival. According to police estimates, more than 5 million people attend one of the street parties during Rio Carnival and there is very little reported incident of crime.

Today, some of the biggest events of Rio Carnival are ticketed events. There are different types of Sambadrome tickets that are available for purchase. Grandstand tickets are general admissions tickets that are available on a first come-first serve basis and are not allocated ahead of time. Frisas are open air box seats located along the samba runway. Camarotes are luxury boxes situated between the frisas and the grandstands. Sector 9 is the tourist sector, which are the same as grandstand tickets, with the difference being that they are allocated so people have assigned seats.
