Benefits of Traveling Light

Benefits of Traveling Light

Under most circumstances, unless you’re moving across the country, it’s beneficial to travel with lighter luggage.  Several airlines charge for extra luggage based on weight rather than size, and it’s much the same when it comes to shipping.  To reduce the weight of your luggage, try to remove unnecessary items like hygiene products, which can be purchased again at your destination.  In general clothes don’t weigh enough to matter, but shoes can start to add up, therefore don’t bring more than two pairs of shoes, and perhaps a third pair of sandals.  It’s also possible to purchase lightweight luggage which can reduce the amount of weight significantly. 

Remember too, packing your possessions in an organized method can save you space, and thus you’ll have to carry less luggage all together!

sym_suitcase_luggage_cartoon_character_whispering_and_gossiping.jpg Whether you are traveling overseas, a cruise, luxury resorts for business, or pleasure, study the best way to ensure a carefree and relaxing trip is to prevent problems before they happen. The more you learn about passports, visas, customs, immunizations, and other travel basics, the less likely you are to have difficulties during your travels.
 

Personal Security While Traveling

Leave contact numbers with family, friends and neighbors.

Check plane, train, and bus times before you travel.
Sit near other people or near aisles or doors. Learn the location of emergency alarms and exits.
Stay awake and alert when using public transportation.
Consider purchasing special clothing or accessories to hide your passport, money, or credit cards. Keep the majority of your funds in travelers checks and hidden; carry some in your wallet or handbag. Use a money clip. If you are robbed, you may lose the money in the clip but will retain important credit cards and documents.
Keep valuables out of sight and luggage close at hand. If carrying a handbag, keep it in front of you, closed, with the fastening toward your body. Keep a wallet in your front pants pocket.
Let go if your bag is snatched.
Do some research on the area you are visiting.

I do hope you find these tips informative and  helpful so you may enjoy a Wonderful Vacation.

Enjoy Your Vacation!

10 Steps to Enjoying the Perfect Cruise

posted by Travel-a-lot
July 14, 2009

 carnival-spirit.jpg

1. The biggest mistake cruising newbies make is booking the wrong ship. Most people focus on the destination (Caribbean, Mexico, etc.) and don’t pay enough attention to the ship itself.  Cruise lines—and even individual ships within a line—vary greatly in terms of atmosphere and facilities. Some have a party-all-the-time ambience and/or a great gym and spa; others are ideal for curling up on deck with a good book

2. Book early. There are two ways to get the best price on a cruise: book early or book at the very last minute. Both will save you money, but early bookers get the best choice of cabins for roughly the same “sale” price as late bookers—and avoid being disappointed because their ship is sold out. “Early” usually means three to six months before the cruise; the savings generally are 25 to 50 percent off the published brochure price per person.

3. Get the best cabin you can afford.

4. A bit of preparation pays off in a carefree trip.Tape a “To Do” list to your fridge, and check things off as you go. Don’t forget to shop for film, extra batteries, sunscreen and travel-size toiletries. These are more expensive to buy on the ship, and you may not find your favorite products. Consider filling small plastic containers with conditioner and shampoo from the big bottles, which you can leave at home.

5. Pack light, pack right. Be prepared for the off chance your luggage will get misplaced. Put a little of everything you’ll want and need in  a  CARRY ON BAG.   As added protection, buy travel insurance that covers you for lost, stolen, damaged or delayed luggage.

6. Beat the rush.It’s also a good idea to make your spa appointments and specialty restaurant reservations on the first day of the cruise so you don’t lose out.

7. Be shore-savvy. Some shore excursions are worth taking. Others are not.To make it more fun (and affordable), put your own group together and share the ride with newfound friends you’ve met on board. But note: if you go solo and miss the boat, you’re on your own.

8. Get the royal treatment. If you celebrating a wedding, Anniversary , Special Birthday, Let the cruise director know. Ask about honeymoon and anniversary parties, dinner at the captain’s table and other special recognition.

9. Then there’s that little business of tipping to take care of. Remember that tipping is always entirely up to you. Most cruise lines will recommend just how much to tip. But when cruising now days most cruise lines add it to your bill at the end of the criuse. The average tip now is $10 per day per person, However if you feel that you did not get the service you exoected you can dicsuss that at the puersors’ office and it will be removed at your request.

10. Cruising for romance. On most cruises, you’ll be assigned a dinner table (usually with other passengers) and time (early or late) for the entire trip. See the maitre d’ as soon as you board to specify which seating you prefer; also let him know if you prefer a table for two and be sure to advise him.  remember that the hot tubs never close, and you’ll probably find yourselves alone under the stars. For more alone time, stay on the ship when everyone else goes ashore it’s like having your own private yacht.

Enjoy Your Cruise!

Finding Your Luggage at the Airport

posted by Carry_On
July 12, 2009

Coleman-Edinburg-luggageMost people who have traveled by plane have probably had the experience of not being able to find their luggage at the airport afterward.  A lot of luggage containers look the same, and for some of the top rated models, can be exactly the same.  To ensure you can find your luggage easily at the airport, and so that it doesn’t get mistaken with another passenger’s luggage, consider a neon or brightly colored baggage tag.  This will allow you to spot your luggage as it’s coming out of the baggage claim, and will deter other passenger’s from grabbing it thinking it’s theirs. 

If you’d prefer not to have a hot pink baggage tag attached to your business suitcase, consider making an X with a bit of blue painter’s tape on the front.  It’s easily removable and can be reapplied just as quickly.

Visiting Beautiful British Columbia

Set between the Pacific Ocean in the west and the magnificent Rocky Mountains in the east, British Columbia is Canada’s westernmost province. Blessed with breathtaking landscapes, BC is home to a geographical  diversity that lends itself to a vast array of activities and adventures. There are mountains to climb, rivers to run, beaches to comb, forests to hike, parks to stroll and warm summer lakes to laze about on.

The province generally enjoys a temperate climate but where there are mountains, there is snow. Renowned for the steep and the deep of its world-class ski terrain, BC is bustling with energy and opportunity as it prepares for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Don’t forget to pack the appropriate  Coleman Luggage  for the trip.  Order it early so you get it on time before you embark on this fabulous vacation.

Check out what others are saying about this place..
 “Wonderful Cabo!”
Cabo is a special place, and we can’t wait to return one day. The
Pueblo Bonito Blanco is a great place to stay, if you want a
relaxed atmosphere.

“Exceeded my expectations”
My husband and I stayed at The Pueblo Bonito Blanco in Cabo
San Lucus for our wedding anniversary. This hotel is beautiful,
very clean and the service is great.

“Can’t Wait to Go Back!”
 My friend and I stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Blanco Hotel
and absolutely loved it! The location was great and the staff
couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating! I would
recommend this hotel to anyone and can’t wait to book my next trip!

“Great Resort”
 I spent a week at the resort the last weekend in March.
The Resort is beautiful. The hotel is a horseshoe and we
had a room that was directly over the sand. The room has
a huge balcony that over looks the water. This is not a brand
new resort but everything is immaculate.

These are only a few comments, there are just too many to list. But you can bet that before they left, they took the time to purchase a good luggage set to take with them for a weeks long vacation.
 
 

Travel Options

When it comes to travel luggage, there are hundreds of options as far as suitcases, trunks, bags, and even duffels.  I prefer to travel light, and I’m not too particular about what I wear either, so a rolling duffel bag was perfect for me.  Essentially I can just stuff all my clothes and belongings in, hoist it up, and I’m on the move.  It’s great too because if I happen to want to put something in, I don’t have to undo a bunch of straps, levers, and zippers to find the right pocket, I can just drop it in the top. 

The rolling duffel is also awesome for sports equipment, it’s durable and can accommodate longer objects like baseball bats or golf clubs, and still have enough room for clothes or whatever else I want to put in.

Planning a Vacation for the Kids

vacation-for-the-kids

Kids love to go on vacation just as much as their parents, and sometimes, it’s important to plan a vacation just for them. While Disneyland and Disneyworld are the classic examples of a kid’s vacation, there are a lot of other more affordable options for parents. Camping, for example, can be a lot of fun for kids, but it is important that parents arrange for fun camping activities like swimming, fishing, or sports. Kids often become bored when it appears as if there’s nothing to do on a vacation, so more than thinking of location, parents would be wise to think of activities kids would enjoy on that vacation. This doesn’t mean you can’t pick a location without an amusement park nearby, but it might be fun to rent a boat or Jet Ski, plan a horseback riding trip, or visit a miniature golf course.

When planning the trip, be sure to get the kids involved. Even letting them do something simple, like choosing from lightweight luggage sets to buy for the trip, can be a whole lot of fun for them. Kids love to feel like they’re a part of the decisions being made. “
