A US Holiday is Still a Bargain for Brits (luxury cruise liners)

November 22nd, 2008 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By Roger Munns

  Residents of the UK who chose to vacation in the United States this year were pleasantly surprised at how cheap it was due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar. For the most part British tourists were getting close to two dollars for each British pound. Even with the increased cost of gasoline, tourists in the U.S. were able to get pretty good deals.

Though air fares are going up and some transatlantic flights may be cut back, it is still possible to take advantage of the weak dollar. If you are planning to book a holiday in the U.S. later this year or in 2009, keep in mind that the dollar has begun to climb a bit and may continue to do so.

Don’t be put off, however. The U.S. continues to be a great holiday destination. There is so much to see and do in the States. Cities from New York to San Francisco offer enormous variety. If it is culture you want, New York has great museums, including the Metropolitan and the MOMA. Broadway’s theaters offer something for everybody. Even off-Broadway is a mecca for cutting edge entertainment. Shopping in New York is legendary. From Saks Fifth Avenue to Bloomingdales and from Macy’s to Century 21, New York is unparalleled.

On the west coast take your pick. Los Angeles with its movie culture and San Francisco featuring Nob Hill and cable cars and the stunning Bay vistas greet residents and tourists alike. A few miles to the north and you are in the wine country of Napa and Sonoma.

Don’t overlook what falls between the coasts. The Grand Canyon will take your breath away, as will Monument Valley and the Painted Desert. Nestled in the Sierras is the famed Lake Tahoe. Tahoe is the skiing destination on the west coast, and the view of the lake from the slopes of Heavenly Valley is stunning. In the summer the gondolas ferry tourists to the top of the mountain where they can spend a day or several hours taking on spectacular sights.

Don’t forget Las Vegas with its over-the-top casinos and hotels. You can spend days taking in a dizzying array of luxury hotels like the Bellagio and Circus Circus, which features its own amusement park.

Speaking of amusement parks, the two most visited parks in the world are in the U.S.: Disneyland in Anaheim and Disney World in Florida. As always, Disney has new and more exciting attractions in the works at any given time. Whether you stay at a Disney hotel located within the parks or a nearby hotel, the Disney experience is not soon forgotten. If that is your preference, be sure to check out whatever special deals the parks are offering. You may be surprised at how affordable a Disney vacation can be.

Though Disney is still the leader of the pack, other amusement parks are worth visiting as well. Universal Studios and MGM Studios both feature Hollywood extravaganzas. You can find yourself in the middle of a Spiderman episode or an Indiana Jones adventure.

The real drawing card for any number of amusement parks are the death-defying roller coasters. With their incredible loops and twists and 360 degree spins, roller coaster rides are the thrill seekers ultimate thrill. Knots Berry Farm in Southern California has some of the best thrill rides going.

The U.S. is such an expansive and diverse experience that just traveling from region to region illustrates this better than anything else. From the Old South to the Yankee Northeast and from the Midwest to the Northwest, the differences are both noticeable and distinct. Regional differences are pretty much defined by geography. The geography within U.S. boundaries runs the gamut from lush green forests to deserts, to endless plains and mountain ranges.

So if you are contemplating a holiday and deciding where to spend it, give the U.S. a good bit of thought. Even with a strengthening dollar it may still be well within your budget. Take out the calculator and do some Internet surfing to get the latest deals in all the areas you find attractive. If you plan ahead and book early, you may still come out way ahead.

Take A Trip To Bogota!
By Gaizka Pujana

  Located 2,547 meters above sea level, with the stunning grandeur of the Cordillera mountain range visible from many parts of the city towards the East, Bogota is truly a breathtaking spectacle of a city in more ways than one.

If you are planning to visit the city for the first time, you will probably want to know what hotel accommodations are like. The good news is that Bogota is great place to find accommodations on a budget. Numerous lodging houses, pensions, backpacker hotels and budget hotels can be found, with most of them offering superb value for the money.

Particularly worthy of mention is the amusingly named Cranky Croc Hostel, which is built into a 19th century colonial structure. An ideal place for those traveling with everything they can carry in a backpack, the hostel offers comfort and tastefully appointed surroundings that belie its very affordable rates.

Another one of the better budget hotels in Bogota is Platypus Hostel. This place is perfect for backpackers that want to socialize with travelers from all over the world or simply enjoy a good night’s rest in comfortably spacious surroundings.

With your hotel accommodations taken care of, you will probably want to know what there is to do and see in Bogota and the city will surely not disappoint. If a bit of history is what you are after, head straight to the center of town where impressive displays of the city’s architectural marvels await. The La Candelaria district is particularly noteworthy, since it is where many of the city’s most majestic buildings are located, among them the Catedral Primada, the Luis Angel Arango Library, which covers a whole city block, and the El Museo del Oro, which is a popular tourist destination housing some truly spectacular collections of gold artifacts.

Bogota is a city that takes its libraries very seriously, and some of the most renowned ones are just as impressive for the books that they contain as for their architectural design. El Tunal, and Virgilio Barco Vargas are only two of the most impressive ones and they are well worth visiting if only to catch a glimpse of their majestic facades.

Bogota is also a place where you can totally forget about culture and simply party the night away. With scores of clubs, bars and assorted nightspots that are filled to the rafters with hordes of beautiful people, there is usually something going on in the Bogota nocturnal scene most nights of the week. Among the bars and clubs that you should not miss out on are Mister Babilla with its unique brand of music, Salome, which is very popular with the local residents of the city, and the appropriately named Tropical Cocktails where you can sample from the extensive menu of drinks.

You Must Visit Granada South Spain
By Gaizka Pujana

  Although not quite a household name among more casual tourists yet, the city has long been a well-kept secret by the world’s most seasoned and jaded travelers. This secret is not expected to last much longer however, as word about the unique treasures and characteristics of this charming city is bound to get out sooner than later!

Granada sets itself apart from other more popular tourist destinations with its gorgeous natural features, its rich cultural heritage, and the distinctive charm of its local residents. In addition to these attractions, Granada can also boast of an active social scene characterized by vibrant bars and clubs that cater to the younger crowds, and beach parties that last until dawn. There are plenty of venues that offer live entertainment as well, and drinks are inexpensively priced.

Before you head out to check out what Granada’s nightlife has to offer however, you will want to make sure that you have a place to rest when all that partying is done. Thankfully the city has loads of options in hotel accommodations ranging from picturesque villas and holiday apartments, to budget hotels that are ideal accommodations for students and back packers. Check out Cortijo la Loma Granero for a very reasonably priced lodging house that offers a private pool and tastefully appointed rooms. Another lodging house worth checking out is Cortijo la Loma Villa, which is set amidst the lush green of olive trees.

Being an internationally known tourist destination, Granada of course has enough gustatory treasures to satisfy the palettes of an international clientele. If you want to have your fill of some familiar dish from back home, you will probably find something in the many restaurants to please your palate. That being said, you would be missing out if you didn’t at least try out that most delectable of Spanish culinary contributions called the tapas bar. Meson del Jambon is one these places, and it is well known in the city for its delectable Cerano ham. Other restaurants that are worthy of mention are Mirador de Morayma, which offers traditional Spanish cuisine, Lago di Como with its distinctly Italian flavor, and Bar Kiki for its superb summer lunch menu and its extensive wine selection.

Granada has plenty to offer with regard to natural and cultural attractions as well. The stunning Royal Chapel is a must-see for the grandeur of its architecture as well as for being the burial place of Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella. Granada’s Arabic heritage is also well evident in the awe-inspiring Alhambra palace. Impressive Moorish architectural touches combined with quaint gardens scattered throughout the palace make this one of the most stunning man made sights in the city.

These are only a few of the sights and treasures that await the traveler to Granada. Suffice to say that there remains a lot more to be discovered in this fabulous city.

November 22nd, 2008 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By Fred Ramsbottom

  A twenty minute drive south of Exeter, Torquay is one of the biggest town’s in Devon. Originally a bustling fishing and agricultural town, it wasn’t until the mid 1800’s when Torquay began to establish itself as a popular seaside town.

Used regularly by the Royal Navy throughout the time of the Napoleonic War, Torquay attracted a more aristocratic visitor in the late 19th century, when wealthy Victorian’s visited throughout the summer months.

Torquay has a somewhat warm climate throughout spring and summer, which is the primary reason behind its nickname the English Riviera.

Accessibly easily by road from M5, Torquay is home to two separate train stations, seeing regular visitors from both local towns are cities from out of the county.

As a family resort, Torquay has ensured that there is something for everyone, regardless of age, sex or interests.

History - for those interested in the historic side of Torquay, there is plenty to take in. Kents Cavern is one of the most popular historic attractions, the home to early homosapiens for over 700,000 years. Regular tours by qualified guides are carried out and well worth the time and money spent.

Culture - Torquay is packed full of theatres and art rooms and has a thriving film industry. Attracting popular, household names on a regular basis to appear in the many films filmed on location in Torquay, it’s not unusual to see film crews working in the town throughout the year.

Torquay’s largest and most popular theatre is the Princess Theatre, located near to Torquay Harbour. Able to hold over 1,500 people, the theatre is home to a variety of different productions, from small, theatre companies to large orchestral performances.

Another popular theatre, Babbacombe Theatre, is frequented by many local citizens. A smaller venue, it plays host to several different acts in a more intimate setting, making it a popular venue for those who visit.

Shopping - whilst Torquay is primarily a seaside resort, it caters for even the most avid shopper. With a variety of areas available for shoppers to visit, it’s possible to find everything you would need in Torquay. From high street names to local boutiques, Torquay’s shopping precincts are popular amongst both local residents and visitors.

Choosing the right place to stay when visiting Torquay is key to a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

As a seaside town, Torquay is packed full of quaint bed and breakfasts and in close proximity there are several, well equipped camping and caravanning sites. However, if you’re looking for luxury during your stay, take a look at the Marstan Hotel. A five star hotel, the Marstan features an on-site spa, comfortable lounge and drawing room and a popular, social bar. Room rates are reflective of the amenities this hotel provides, but well worth the money for those looking for something a little luxurious.

Torquay is a great place to visit for all the family. With its warm weather and fantastic beaches, mixed with its rich historic values and cultural points, it provides an enjoyable holiday for every member of the family.

(Luxury yacht rentals) New Forest England Travel Travel to the New Forest

November 21st, 2008 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By Joseph Carducci

  The New Forest is one of England’s most fascinating and scenic places. It is full of beauty and wonderful scenery.

What is the New Forest?

The New Forest is one of England’s oldest medieval forests, and a British National Park. It encompasses an area of 150 square miles, including ancient woodlands, heathlands and valleys. There is a wide variety of scenery and landscapes which change from season to season.

You can explore quaint little villages such as Lyndhurst, Brokenhurst, or Ringwood.

There are a large number of attractions and sites to explore in this park. You can see many different types of wildlife, from horses to otters and owls. It is also a world-renowned area for bird watching. There are zoos, museums (lots of museums!), gardens, castles, parks, even vineyards. There is truly something for every taste and fashion in the beautiful New Forest National Park.

Brief History

It is now known that settlers in the New Forest area can be traced back to the Bronze Age. The area was the site of heavy farming, which involved cutting through the woodland. This is also the main reason why you can see heavy woodlands on one side of the road and then it ends abruptly and turns into a heathland totally devoid of trees on the other side!

It is believed that William the Conqueror actually created the New Forest in the 10th century as a protected area for Royal Hunting.

After heavy shipbuilding in the region throughout the 17th century put severe pressure on the health of the woodlands, the New Forest Act was passed in 1877 to preserve and protect the area. Finally, in 2005, the New Forest was elevated to the status of a National Park, which has also increased the number of tourists who visit this fantastic place every year.

Located between Southampton and Christchurch in the south, west of London it is easy to find the New Forest. However, since it has the status of National Park, there are no airports or rail stations that will take you directly to the most picturesque areas of the park. If you wish to come by train, probably the best location is Brokenhurst. You can reach this town very easily from London, Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth. By car, it is Junction 1 off M-27. The closest nearby airports would probably by in Southampton and Bournemouth.

Once you are here, enjoy! Whether your pleasure is horseback riding, cycling, walking or hiking there is something for you here! I have thoroughly enjoyed all my time in this area and look forward to returning. It is equally as beautiful in the summer with all of it’s greenery as it is in the winter beneath a blanket of freshly fallen snow. Enjoy!

Salisbury England Travel To Salisbury
By Joseph Carducci

  Salisbury is one of England’s finest places to visit, and seems to have been largely overlooked by many of the tourist and travel guides and writers. Situated less than a day’s train trip from London, it is definitely accessible.

Salisbury was formed during the 11th century, when citizens came here to escape the Viking raids on England. However, it’s official founding was in 1217. Several years later the city held it’s first annual fair and had a marketplace. It received it’s Charter (an official settlement status from the King which gave it’s citizens certain rights) in 1227.

Since the city was in a very strategic location between London, Exeter & Southampton it flourished primarily due to trade. During the middle ages the wool and cloth trades were extremely important.

Situated on the river Avon, Salisbury is probably best known for it’s proximity to Stonehenge and it’s own world-famous Cathedral. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1220 and was not completed until 1258. With the exception of the towering spire, built between 1285 and 1315, it has remained largely undisturbed throughout it’s history. The spire itself is the tallest in England at 404 feet, and quite a sight to behold. Stonehenge of course, has held our mysterious attention for thousands of years. It was thought to have been built by the ancient druids, but it’s meaning today is still unclear. Nevertheless, countless tourists and visitors come to see these sites every year.

The building of the Cathedral marked the modern town of Salisbury. Before this event, most of her population lived a few miles away in a place called Old Sarum. Old Sarum is a town which dates back to the iron age and can be seen on tours even today (run by the English Heritage Society). There is little remaining of the settlement today, but some of the original stone was taken to build what is called the Cathedral Close.

Within the Cathedral Close there are several main attractions. The first is the National Trust’s Mompesson House. This is a Queen Anne style house built in 1701, with a walled garden. There is also The Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, which is set in an old medieval building called the King’s House. Another attraction here is the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment Museum. This is situated in a 1254 building which was one of the first to be erected in the Cathedral Close. These are some fascinating places to visit, especially if you enjoy actually seeing history!

Throughout the town of Salisbury you can see some lovely medieval streets and buildings. Be sure to also visit the Wilton House, which has simply a gorgeous estate and gardens. Also, do not miss the Malmesbury House, which was built in the 13th century and the home to the first Earl of Malmesbury.

Of course, this is just a small sampling of some of the things to see and do in this lovely town of Salisbury.

(Luxury world cruises) Bringing the Right Outdoor Outfit for Outdoor Adventure

November 19th, 2008 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By joalesto

  According to outdoor adventure experts, one of the quickest ways of ruining what could be the perfect outdoor adventure, is to bring outdoor clothing items that dont fit you, or perform poorly. Adventure clothing experts note that the type of clothing you bring should first be comfortable and effectively protect you from the elements such as snow, wind, rain and others.

Looking good while on an outdoor adventure escapade should not be simply decided on style. Since youre going out on a different type of trip, the outdoor clothing that you need to have should be functional, comfortable and durable. Bringing the appropriate type of adventure clothing apparel will do a lot in improving your level of safety and comfort. Outdoor adventure veterans say that it would be good to dress in long sleeved shirts and long pants. This helps because exposed skin may be prone to sunburn, scratches, bug bites, scrapes and abrasions. Long sleeved shirts also protect you from coming into contact with allergy-causing bushes or plants, or some infectious and poisonous foliage. Some light cuts or injuries may lead to more serious infections. However, dressing up in short clothing when you’re in the water for a swim or when at the beach would be just fine. This also would be applicable when youre simply lounging around the campsite or resting at some designated way station. Just ensure that you dont get bitten by bugs or other insects, and stay in the shade during hot days to avoid sunburn.

Choosing the appropriate outdoor clothing fabric is also vital. Fabrics such as cotton allow for extra comfort during hot and damp weather, but this wont be the case whenever youre in an outdoor adventure excursion. Cotton may be soft and comfortable, however in an outdoor adventure setting. This fabric will absorb so much moisture that it holds against the skin. Clothing experts say that wool or synthetic blends would be more appropriate clothing materials when in the outdoors. Most well-known outdoor adventure equipment manufacturers develop good-quality and durable outdoor clothing products, which are generally less-absorbent and quickly remove the dampness away from your skin. Good-quality outdoor clothing usually does well in keeping you dry, as well as retaining your proper body temperature

It also helps to wear durable, superior-quality hiking boots or shoes or boots. Wearing cheap but poor-quality hiking boots will only increase the risks of getting sores and blisters on your feet. Most well-known outdoor equipment brands are known for making shoes that provide ample protection against twisted ankles, blisters and sores, stone bruises, twisted ankles, and other foot injuries. In buying the appropriate outdoor footwear, it helps to choose those that fit well on your feet, and dry quickly when exposed to water or wet conditions. Sandals are considered good for beach or camp wear, but never for sweating it out on the rough and bumpy trail.

When thinking of which outdoor clothing to bring, consider clothing which serves as a system that will protect your body from the elements, and not simply as items that will make you look good or feel comfy. It helps to dress in layers when going on an outdoor adventure excursion.

Outdoor travel experts say the ideal clothes you bring should be equipped with a layered undergarment that wipes or eases moisture away quickly and enables you to remain dry and comfortable for longer periods. However, the weather will determine how you dress up, so you surely wont need to dress up like an Eskimo during dry and hot conditions. It helps to be prepared with the appropriate layers of clothing when weather conditions suddenly change. Bring clothes that are comfortable, good looking and durable, and made of light-weight materials. In particular, clothes that help reduces sweat quickly as well as keep insects and other irritants at bay.

Jo is an author and publisher for Great Outdoors (http://www.greatoutdoorsdirect.co.uk), a foremost seller of the best camping and outdoor equipment in UK. If you are planning to go on an outdoor escapade and require some childrens skiwear or just in search of a good quality branded tent, outdoor outfits and footwear, and other camping equipment to purchase at a reasonable prices then take a look at Great Outdoors.

Travel Sites Can Help You On Your Annual Vacation
By Michael Hehn

  We all love our annual vacation but there are those that never go too far from home and then you find the adventurous types that will travel the world. But, wherever you want to travel to, you can guarantee there will be a travel site that can give you details on every location. Let’s face it, when you can book whatever vacation you like using a website, why bother going to a travel agent. Generally travel agents cannot compete, at least financially, with the wealth of sites that can offer amazing discounts.

It may seem strange but I do not fully trust using the internet to arrange my vacation. However, I am still of the old school and prefer to sit down with a cup of coffee and plan my vacation with a professional, face to face. A travel agent will also fully expect changes to be made during the booking process and can be more flexible in their approach including when there are problems. The problem I find with travel sites is there is no-one to speak to and I find this very impersonal; if you are fortunate enough to find someone to speak with they may be in another country for all you know.

Even if you are lucky enough to talk to a person, how do you know they are telling you the truth about the situation? It is this fear of the problems that can occur and if they do happen it is too late that prevents me from being more trusting in the way that I trust my travel agent. One of my friends only ever uses the travel sites to book her vacations but she does like the last minute discounts that can be found which are much easier to find using the internet. When last minute vacations come up, you can end up saving a lot of money and she’s gotten some wonderful vacations for almost half the cost.

It would be nice to do this but my career does not allow for impulsive travel arrangements. Using a travel site does have other advantages as well because while you can save money on the vacation itself, there are also savings to be made on additional excursions and trips as well if pre-booked. Knowing a little about what you want and information about the location you want to travel too can be useful so I still research as much of this as I can online before I pay my travel agent a visit. I know it may seem unkind after all the help that my travel agent has given me but I know that if I have problems that need correcting when I return, it is easy to go along and see her to have sorted out.

Senior Citizen Travel Insurance - For Over 70s
By Ray Baker

  Retiring does not simply mean the freedom from having to work; it also means you now have the freedom to travel and see the entire world if you choose. This is an exciting time for just about any senior citizen, but before you make the big step to go abroad, there is one very important step that you need to make first.

You need to make sure that you have travel insurance for over 70s because let’s face it, accidents can and do happen all the time. As a pensioner though you are statistically more likely to have an accident or get sick, which means you will need a different kind of senior citizen travel insurance. You are not simply travelling across the country or across the state, you are travelling abroad and that means you will need travel insurance for pensioners.

When you are over the age of 70 you need to be on the lookout for travel insurance for over 70s, as this type of holiday insurance policy is specially tailored for travellers of that age. You see, when you choose to travel abroad and see the world, many of the countries you may choose to visit or even live in, might not be as safe as where you are from. This means many things, and they can range from simple crime statistics, to the lack of various institutions or infrastructure.

The safety standards in some of the countries you choose to visit might not be the same as you are used to and the same applies to road safety as well. Being prepared does not mean avoiding this type of situation, because regardless of whether you are driving yourself or you are being driven, the poor conditions are still there. However, if an accident does happen it could have a far greater affect on you now than perhaps it would have done 30 or 40 years ago when you might have handled it without much thought. Having the proper travel insurance for over 70s is very important as it will cover you when these unexpected things occur.

Travel insurance for pensioners is not just for accidents, it will also cover you for sickness as well. When you are going to a new place, your body may not have the ability to fight off certain ailments as it may have never been exposed to them before. As a result, you getting sick abroad can have substantial adverse effects on your well being and the last thing anyone should want is to have to cover these out of their own pockets especially if they are on a limited budget.

Make sure you are prepared long before you take your first trip abroad by making sure you have the proper travel insurance for over 70s as this is the only way to ensure that you will be able to cover those unexpected accidents that can and will eventually occur.
