The house is spacious, quiet, safe, and clean. Everything we needed was there. The beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, and it’s very close to town. The patio is spacious, enclosed for the dogs to run around, and the view was breathtaking! We took the few steps down to the beach every day to play in the waves and walk the tide pools. We found thousands of hermit crabs, two octopus, a few sea stars, and plenty of fish! Denise was wonderful and easy to communicate with. I liked knowing there was maintenance staff on hand if we needed anything! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We WILL be back! | travel |

If you’re itching for a trip to the south but aren’t sure what any of the cities could have in place for you: it’s time to check out these hot spots!
The smallest city on this list, Charleston, is home to just over 140,000 people. Best known for its gorgeous architecture, fantastic restaurants and bars, and incredible entertainment, you’ll be excited the moment you get into town! You’ll love the welcoming spirit the locals extend out, the crispy delicious southern classics, and some of the best spring weather you’ll ever find. Just make sure if you travel here in the summer that you bring more linen clothing than cotton!
There’s no tour of the most popular cities in the south without mentioning Nashville! The beginning point for countless music stars, Nashville is best known for country music and fantastic food. Living here lets you get to know more about stars like Johnny Cash and visit destinations like the Grand Ole Opry House, which helps you feel a little more in touch with history.
Whether you fall in love with the affordable Memphis houses for sale, or you’re here for the long and incredible music history: you’ll never find another city quite like this. Memphis is known for being the home of soul and rock ‘n’ roll, with iconic locations like Sun City studios and Graceland calling it home. Although it’s a bustling city, it’s surrounded by endless greenery and fantastic outdoor fun that will ensure you don’t spend your whole vacation inside!
Home to over a million people, Austin is one of the most interesting cities you’ll ever meet in the south. Best known for its citywide belief that it needs to stay weird and fun, Austin has a huge music scene and some of the wildest museums and entertainment options you’ll find. If being weird isn’t your deal, you can instead check out the Grand Prix, enjoy the blues and rock scene: and get to meet some of the friendliest locals in any of these cities!
Atlanta is the heart of the south, from its long history in furthering civil rights to the incredible leaps and bounds it’s made in how movies are filmed in the last twenty years: you’ll fall in love with this southern belle of a city! Although Atlanta can be expensive, and the traffic can be a little scary if you’re not used to it, living here is a great way to enjoy all of the perks of living in the south while still getting to be in a metropolitan area.
The South is Always Eager to Show Off!
Whether you’re traveling through on a road trip or you’re trying to pick which area you’ll move to the south makes a great case for itself. Consider visiting some of these top-rated cities, and get to know the reason they’re so incredibly popular! | travel |

Milang is a town steeped in history from the by-gone days of the paddle steamer trade. Once a thriving river port, Milang is now more suited to those who want to just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the area. It is the only town on the shores of Lake Alexandrina and a few buildings of the period remain along with the restored railway station and carriages.
There is an abundance of water sport activities such as sailing, power boating, windsurfing, kite sailing and fishing, or just relax next to the lake. Tennis and lawn bowls is also nearby.
Port Milang Historic Railway Museum has a number of coaches and wagons standing on the original tracks alongside the original station building. These contain an exhibition of photographs and memorabilia of the Port of Milang and its railway. More information here... http://milangrailway.org.au
For those seeking culinary delights there is a hotel with excellent dining, a country bakery and also a number of wineries in the area.
Yesterday's Power Rally is held annually in January, and collectors and enthusiasts from around Australia gather at the oval for a weekend of activities, showcasing machinery and equipment from days gone by, as well as the ever popular Tractor Pull.
Also held annually, in January on the Australia day long weekend, is one of the largest freshwater sailing classics in the world – the Milang-Goolwa Freshwater Classic, which attracts a yearly fleet of up to 250 boats of every shape and size between 14 and 40 feet long. The race in 1986 still holds the record for the largest fleet (584 yachts) to compete in a freshwater race in the southern hemisphere. | travel |

About The Neighborhood
Norris Square Park (El Barrio)
Norris Square boasts a rich history of migration and civic engagement. A primarily Latino and African American neighborhood, Norris Square became home to many Puerto Rican families beginning in the 1950’s and grew larger in the 1960’s-1980’s as a result of gentrification occurring a few blocks South in the Spring Garden neighborhood. The neighborhood continues to experience waves of migration from the Caribbean, the most recent being a result of Hurricane Maria in 2017.
Organizations such as Concilio and Taller Puertoriqueño have formed and advocated for the neighborhood’s residents as early as the 1960’s. If you walk the perimeter of the park, you will notice many neighborhood organizations, advocacy groups, clinics, and churches that foster community cohesion and political engagement.
Neighbors stop and chat in English, Spanish, and Spanglish. The sounds of bachata, salsa, and reggaetón stream from cars and brightly-colored storefronts - to be interrupted from time to time by the crow of a rooster in someone’s backyard. Teenagers shoot hoops on the court and kids weave in and out of the playground shrieking for joy.
Norris Square is a special place and serves a central hub for much of Philadelphia’s Latino community. As real estate development continues to amplify, many residents wonder if it’s possible to welcome change while still preserving heritage and community. | travel |

Once again, families and individuals have been setting out on summer trips in planes, trains and automobiles. Residents of the Washington area and visitors here have a variety of places to go and do and see, and one place I would like to suggest is the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America in Northeast D.C.
This place of prayer and reflection offers one of the most beautiful gardens in the community, with a colorful array of thousands of roses and other flowers nestled amid trees and shrubs lining its walkways. But even more, the monastery helps visitors – many of whom might never make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land – have the opportunity to experience the holy places there through carefully built replicas. For example, prayerfully walking through the monastery, people can enter into the mystery of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection, and his impact on the world. Most importantly, Mass and Confession are offered to those who wish to experience the sacramental grace of Christ while they reflect on the places associated with his life.
Upon entering the monastery, people can walk through the archways of a shaded portico lined with columns and pray the mysteries of the Rosary as depicted in beautiful mosaics, with the Hail Mary set out in 150 ancient and modern languages. The lower grounds include a replica of the Grotto of Lourdes, where people can quietly pray and seek healing for themselves or loved ones.
Outdoor Stations of the Cross winding around a pathway replicate the Way of the Cross walked by Jesus in his Passion and experienced by pilgrims to Jerusalem. Nearby is the monastery’s centerpiece – the Memorial Church of the Holy Sepulcher – which includes an exact copy of the altar of Calvary at the crucifixion site in Jerusalem and a replica of the tomb of Jesus.
Visitors can also see grottos patterned after shrines in Nazareth, as well as catacombs. Other features are sculptures, paintings and stained glass windows related to events in the lives of Jesus, Mary and Saint Francis of Assisi. The monastery also hosts garden tours, as well as special events like the annual Holy Land Festival, where people can experience the culture and life of the Holy Land through dancing and food, calligraphy, handcrafted embroidery and religious items made of olive wood.
The Franciscans have been caretakers of the sacred sites of the Holy Land for almost 800 years. Dedicated in 1898, the Franciscan Monastery brings the Holy Land to our shores, offering visitors not only an opportunity to, in a certain way, walk where Jesus once walked, but also reminding them that they can walk with him in their everyday lives. They and we can bring Christ’s love to others, just like the first disciples who walked with Jesus 2,000 years ago and brought his Gospel to the world. | travel |

Stop for a moment and start noticing.” Often I go from Point A to Point B, go from destination to destination and not even notice my
surroundings. I’m usually concerned about getting to this place on time or wonder how long can I be at this place before I need to run to the next destination. Time constraints, ugh! I never get to notice my surroundings. I’ve lived in California for the better part of 11 years of my life and it wasn’t until 5 years ago, I started to really sit down and take a look around and noticed. I said to myself, “Self, you live in a beautiful city. Start living your life. You deserve it.”
For those of you who know me know that I am a sucker for great scenery. I have developed a deep appreciation for my surroundings so wherever I go, I always pay attention to my environment because you never know what exciting visuals could take your breath away. Lucky for me, I haven’t had to go too far in my travels to appreciate what’s around me. By the way, these photos are ALL MY PHOTOGRAPHY.
Downtown Los Angeles is where I spend a majority of my time due to my job.
Architecturally, Downtown L.A. has by far one of the most beautifully structured buildings I’ve seen. The way the city lights up at night is absolutely amazing. There are times I catch myself after I get off from work looking at the sun setting over the horizon.
About four years ago, I went with friends to the Island of Maui and I have to admit, that trip changed my perception on life and taught me how to enjoy all the beauty around me. There were a lot of firsts for me on this trip. First time on an island, first time parasailing and first time letting the burlap on my head down and just relaxing for a change. Being in the Botannical Gardens made me feel like I was on top of the world.
I was introduced to Mammoth Lakes, CA by a few co-workers who have a penchant for skiing and snowboarding. I have to admit I had no desire at first to do anything involving the cold, but once I strapped myself onto my first snowboard, I was immediately hooked and had such a blast learning how to maneuver through snow and graduated from the bunny slopes up to the intermediate slopes. I will conquer the advanced slopes one day. The beauty of this place is that it is six hours or so away from Los Angeles.
Recently, I went beach camping with friends at a place just 30 minutes outside of L.A. called Point Mugu in Malibu. What makes this place magical is being able to pitch a tent on a cool, breezy night while listening to the surf. This place is peaceful and you tend to get lost in the moment.
And last, but not least, Marshall, Texas during Christmas time. Even though this is a sleepy town with absolutely nothing to do, the town lights up when Christmas time is around. Every year as I go back home to visit family and friends, I look forward to seeing the courthouse square lit up and the Christmas tunes playing throughout the town. There’s even a local ice-skating rink. May not be much, but it does put a smile on my face during that time of the year. Never forget where you come from.
The moral of this blog is to appreciate what’s around you, stop to smell the roses and be thankful for this wonderful gift of life no matter if you are in an exotic locale or in a small town. There’s beauty everywhere. One love!

July 25-Aug 1st, 2021
Come join me for an unforgettable week photographing Grizzly Bears along the Katmai coast. This week long charter boat based workshop will begin and end in Homer Alaska. Our group of only seven photographers will eat and sleep aboard our private boat, but spend each day in different locations along the shores of Katmai National Park photographing Grizzly Bears as they feed on salmon, sedge grasses, and clams. We will see young cubs and their mothers as well as big males as we explore each day.
Our bear guide Drew is one of the foremost bear guides in the world. When nature documentary film makers need to hire a guide he is the guy they call. Plus he is helping spear head the fight to protect Katmai and Lake Clark National Parks from the proposed Pebble Mine.
The trip costs $8900 and includes all lodging, meals, and guiding for the entire trip including a welcome dinner on the night of July 25th. Being that there are only seven total spots the trip is already nearly full so if you are interested in joining us please email me right away. | travel |

Beaches, like travelers, come in all styles. There are the sleek and sophisticated ones, the powdery-soft stretches that make all the “most beautiful” lists and star in countless Instagram posts. There are the party ones, home to lively day clubs and DJ-fueled parties, and the boho-chic ones that chill out with bonfires and sing-a-longs. Exotic ones in far-flung locations are vibrant with color and culture, while rocky ones may seem prickly at first, but end up revealing their own treasures.
But our favorite beaches are the ones you have to work for—the little-known stretches of sand around the world that require a real effort to find. Here, we spotlight 13 such spots—beaches that are local secrets, hidden away, and totally private. They aren’t just exclusive or reserved for a lucky few, but real discoveries, like the beach in Australia that requires a two-day return hike, or another one in Bermuda that only exists for a few hours of the day at low tide. From Mykonos to Mozambique, these 13 beaches are the so special, you might not want to share (and good thing, you won’t have to). | travel |

The technology, which is primarily associated with cryptocurrencies, is now making its way into other sectors such as supply chain management, healthcare, and the travel industry. In this article, we will explore how blockchain technology can revolutionize the travel industry, much like it has done with cryptocurrencies.
What is Blockchain Technology?
Blockchain technology is a decentralized ledger that records transactions in a secure and transparent manner. Each transaction is recorded on a block that is linked to the previous block, creating a chain of blocks that cannot be altered. This makes the data stored on the blockchain immutable and tamper-proof, providing a high level of security and transparency.
How Blockchain Technology Can Revolutionize the Travel Industry?
Secure and Transparent Transactions
The travel industry involves various stakeholders such as airlines, hotels, travel agencies, and tourists. These stakeholders conduct multiple transactions such as bookings, payments, and cancellations. Blockchain technology can provide a secure and transparent platform for these transactions, ensuring that all parties involved can trust the data being exchanged.
With blockchain technology, the data is stored on a distributed ledger, which means that it cannot be altered or deleted without the consensus of all participants. This ensures that all transactions are transparent, and the data cannot be manipulated by a single party.
Elimination of Middlemen
The travel industry is notorious for its reliance on middlemen such as travel agents and booking platforms. These middlemen charge a significant commission for their services, which increases the cost of travel for the end-user. Blockchain technology can eliminate the need for middlemen, allowing tourists to book directly with service providers.
With blockchain technology, tourists can access a decentralized platform where they can search for travel services such as flights, accommodation, and activities. These services can be booked directly with the service provider, eliminating the need for a middleman. This can significantly reduce the cost of travel for the end-user.
Loyalty programs are an essential part of the travel industry, allowing tourists to earn points and rewards for their loyalty to a particular service provider. However, these loyalty programs can be complex, and it can be challenging to track and redeem points across different service providers.
Blockchain technology can simplify the process of loyalty programs, allowing tourists to earn and redeem points across different service providers. This can be achieved by creating a decentralized loyalty platform that is accessible to all service providers. Tourists can earn points by using the services of different providers, and these points can be redeemed for rewards such as free flights or hotel stays.
Personalized Travel Experience
The travel industry is increasingly becoming personalized, with tourists expecting tailored travel experiences that meet their specific needs and preferences. Blockchain technology can enable service providers to collect and store data on tourists’ preferences, creating a more personalized travel experience.
With blockchain technology, tourists can create a digital identity that contains their preferences and travel history. This identity can be used to provide personalized recommendations for travel services such as accommodation and activities. Service providers can use this data to create customized travel packages that meet the specific needs of each tourist.
Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the travel industry, much like it has done with cryptocurrencies. By providing a secure and transparent platform for transactions, eliminating middlemen, simplifying loyalty programs, and enabling personalized travel experiences, blockchain technology can significantly improve the travel experience for tourists. As the travel industry continues to evolve, it is likely that more service providers will adopt blockchain technology to provide better services to their customers. | travel |

All the passengers are, however, safe and were flown back to their destination, Singapore Airlines said.
Technical snag seems to have caused the sudden dropping of the oxygen masks, sources said. "It was very scary as the oxygen masks were deployed without any reason. They came down just after about two hours of being departed from Singapore. It seemed to have taken place because of some maintenance issue," Sanjay Upadyay, a passengers who was travelling to New Delhi on the snag-hit flight told PTI over phone.
Singapore Airlines confirmed the incident and said that the aircraft returned to Singapore without any incident. "Flight SQ406, an Airbus A380, operating from Singapore to New Delhi on 29 September, returned to Singapore after oxygen masks deployed during the aircraft's climb. There was no depressurisation and initial indications are that there was a system fault," an SIA spokesperson said in an e-mail statement.
The aircraft arrived in Singapore without incident at 22:39hrs (Singapore time), it said, adding that following an aircraft change, the flight departed again at 00:30 hours on September 30 (Singapore time). | travel |

Starting on 18 August – and available to book now - 2019/20 Goodison Park stadium tours offer visitors unrivalled behind-the-scenes access, with tickets starting at just £5 for under-16s. Gift vouchers are also available so fans can choose the date that suits them best.
Visitors on the tour will see the newly-reconfigured home changing room, with brand new seating and decoration and more defined spaces for the players and manager. Fans will experience the sound of Z-Cars as they walk down the new-look tunnel and emerge onto the touchline to take in the view from the dugout and technical area.
They will also get the chance to see some of the newly-refurbished hospitality lounges which have undergone a multi-million-pound renovation during the summer break, creating a brand new experience for fans.
For those looking for an even more immersive experience, there is a new option to choose from – The Legends Tour and Match Ticket package offers fans a stadium tour led by former Everton captain Mark Higgins, a Q&A with Mark and two other former Blues players, access to the players’ lounge, a gift and refreshments – plus a ticket to the following day’s match.
Timed to take place ahead of matchday, fans will be able to share in the anticipation as the stadium prepares for a game, before being part of the crowd watching the action the next day.
The first Legends Tour and Match Ticket package takes place on Friday 16 August and includes a ticket for Everton’s first home game of the season against Watford the following day. The Legends Tour is also available without a matchday ticket.
Fans on the tours will be well looked after – in May the Goodison Stadium Tour was named the Most Hospitable Sports Stadium Tour (North-West England) in the Family & Visitor Attraction Awards run by LUX Life magazine. For guests with accessibility needs, all tours have an alternative accessible route and customers are advised to contact the Club ahead of their tour to ensure their experience is fully catered for. Contact details can be found here.
The Goodison tour has also been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor and a glowing Visit England report, where assessors drew attention to “very high standards of guiding and impressive levels of knowledge” and praised the unique experiences visitors can expect.
Suzie Parker, Events Manager at Everton Football Club, said: “We’re excited to be giving fans on the tour a first look at our newly-refurbished tunnel and changing rooms, and our brand-new hospitality lounges. We’re proud of our home and continued investment in Goodison Park, and the new-look spaces mean that even those who have been on a tour before will have plenty of new features to explore on a return visit. With tickets for a standard tour starting at just £5, we’ve aimed to make it an affordable day out.
“The addition of our new Legends Tour and Match Ticket package means fans can enjoy an immersive Everton experience over two days, with the benefit of attending a match. We hope this will appeal to fans visiting the city for a few days, far-flung Evertonians coming home and wanting to really connect with the Club, or as a unique way to mark a special celebration and get closer to the Blues.” | travel |

I’ll be walking the towpath from New Hope to Frenchtown, New Jersey, to Upper Black Eddy, then to Easton.
When Herbert Welsh passed this way a hundred years ago, this was still a working canal. Built in 1832, it floated limestone, lumber, and mostly anthracite coal to the port of Philadelphia until 1931. Welsh praised the “winding, secluded, dustless canal from New Hope to Easton…” and the “smooth and even tow-path,” even if he had to share it with the mules. “A lovely walk of two days it was, and one that to those who cannot get across the sea to Holland, I heartily commend”
I heartily concur with Welsh’s sense that the canal seems somehow “European.” Perhaps it is the civilized amenity of a cheerful, if somewhat shabby, country hotel every ten miles or so, where a hot and thirsty walker can enjoy a cool glass of beer.
(While he was a steadfast pedestrian who kept a steady pace, Herbert Welsh never missed the chance to pause for a cold beer, an ice-cream cone, or a pretty girl. I admire his old-fashioned style) | travel |

Your driver will wait so you can take your time to explore and take in the sea breeze on the cliff walk. Standing tall and spectacular at 214 metres above the water and stretching for 8 kilometers in the heart of the Burren National Park, these cliffs are a site to behold. Just a short walk from the car park is St Brigid’s Holy Well. Holy Wells are dotted all over Ireland but this particular one is well worth a visit while you’re nearby. Marked by a statue of St Brigid surrounded by a glass case, it comprises of an upper and lower sanctuary where one can leave offerings or have a moment of reflection and peace.
If you want a taste of some authentic Irish traditional music, there’s nowhere better than Doolin, the nearest village to the cliffs. After the sun goes down, the small local bars come alive with the sounds of lively traditional music with the best musicians of the area joining together to have a “seisiún”, an Irish traditional music session. Your driver will know all the best spots. These gatherings tend to be informal and casual with people being invited to offer their talents such as singing or playing instruments such as the fiddle, concertina, flute, tin whistle and bodhrán. A good seisiún is an unforgettable experience to see the true Irish culture in action.
Heading north, see the famed moon-like landscape of The Burren including Poulnabrone Dolmen – the oldest megalithic monument in Ireland. Your driver will take you on one of Ireland’s most famous drives around Black Head along the Wild Atlantic Way. From here the Aran Islands, Connemara and Galway Bay can all be seen clearly.
Journey through the midwest of Ireland and see some of the most unmissable stops along the Wild Atlantic Way. As a family run business with over 30 years’ experience and based in the west, you couldn’t find a better tour operator than VIP Chauffeur for your vacation around the west of Ireland. Your private chauffeur tour is fully flexible and can be customized to your own tastes for a vacation to remember.
The Kilkee Cliffs Drive is a great way to see the unspoiled coastline along the Wild Atlantic Way. This ends at Loop Head lighthouse located on the very edge of Ireland’s west coast. At 23 metres tall, it offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean below. On the way back, there’s a fantastic small gallery where you can pick up some authentic Irish artwork and souvenirs.
As you move inland, there’s still plenty to see and do. Your driver will offer a guided tour of the small towns and village with unrivaled local knowledge. Quin Abbey is a fantastic example of a 15th century Franciscan Abbey with its cloisters still in excellent condition. The Abbey offers wonderful views of the surrounding countryside of East Clare.
Bunratty Castle is also a must see on your itinerary. The castle was built in 1425 and restored to its former glory in 1954. It now contains 15th and 16th century furnishings, tapestries, and artworks which encapsulate the atmosphere of the time. Wander through the hallways and stairwells to catch a glimpse of times gone by and learn about the local history. The grounds are great for photo opportunities too, make sure to visit the two Irish Wolfhounds who call Bunratty home, Meabh and Saoirse. These dogs would have been regular visitors of the Great Hall in Bunratty during banquets so it’s wonderful to see them in their natural surroundings.
The picture-perfect twin towns of Killaloe, Co Clare and Ballina, Co Tipperary, nestled on the banks of the river Shannon, is a great spot to stop for a bit of lunch. Your driver will recommend the best place to catch some great views and taste some of the best locally produced food. The towns are joined by a 13 arched bridge over the Shannon, just south of the beautiful Lough Derg. This was the hometown of the great High King Brian Boru so the area is steeped in history and folklore.
Journey south to the county of Limerick and enjoy the charm of the local towns and the people there. In the city, you can visit one of Ireland’s most intact castles. King John’s Castle, originally built in the 13th century, the site has enjoyed a 21st-century renovation to allow visitors to engage with the history there and learn about it’s rich and fascinating past. The location on the river Shannon overlooking the city is the best way to see Limerick’s city skyline.
Just a five minute walk away is St Mary’s Cathedral, built in 1168 on the site of a palace donated by the King of Munster, Donal Mor O’Brien. It is the oldest building standing in Limerick today. The church is still open for its original purpose today and is well worth a visit while you’re nearby.
On the way back, why not stop at the Hunt Museum? Located in the 18th century Customs House, the private collection was donated by John & Gertrude Hunt, antique dealers and advisors to collectors. This is a museum like no other as you wander through the house, exhibits are located not just on the walls but within drawers of elaborate dressers to give you a feel of walking through someone’s home. Exhibitions of local, national and international artists take place throughout the year to accompany the permanent collection. Well worth the stop while in the city.
Just southwest of the city lies the idyllic village of Adare. Home to some gorgeous boutiques and gift shops full of Irish handmade crafts, this little village is a haven of beauty and charm.
Deep in the county of Limerick is the hidden gem of Lough Gur, a stunning lake nestled in the low hills of the Limerick countryside. Stop off and take a stroll through the woodland surrounding the lake and take in the beautiful landscape of Ireland’s midwest.
The tour of Clare and Limerick is full of breathtaking points of interest and some unmissable stops along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Your driver has in-depth knowledge of the Clare and Limerick area and will be on hand to answer all of your questions while you journey through some of Ireland’s most unforgettable landscapes.

Andros is the northernmost and one of the largest and most environmentally-diverse islands of the Cyclades archipelago.
Andros Routes is a community initiative set up to develop sustainable tourism on the island by restoring, waymarking and maintaining the ancient, 300km-long network of paths for hiking and self-guided walking adventures. For centuries, the stone-paved trails were the main routes of commerce, communication, and transportation between the island’s 84 villages. Among them, is the Andros Route: a 100km-long trail from north to south, that usually takes walkers 10 days to complete. In 2015, the European Ramblers’ Association certified the Andros Route as one of Europe’s Leading Quality Trails – Best of Europe.
Our company offered the wayfinding system, consisting of hundreds of wooden signs and signposts, as well as directional decals, for all 300km of the island’s trails and assistance with the maintenance of the footpaths.

When visiting Napa or Sonoma travelers are faced with a major issue:
“How do we get ourselves around safely and make proper choices of where to go amongst nearly 1,000 options for wineries?“
I’d like to entertain various options for travelers while candidly pointing out the pros and cons of each, keeping in mind that there are several factors that go in to making this challenging decision. We’ll make no apologies for the fact that private touring services (such as Flex Wine Tours – FWT) and other private guides are by far the customer preferred form of touring, for the right group.
Entering in to our 9th full season taking care of thousands of would-be wine-goers, the one major underlying current of what we’ve discovered is that we know and do things that visitors would rarely discover on their own. There are so many nuances of navigating wine country, the casual visitor might not be fully aware of all the options. However, regardless of how you choose to get around, local knowledge here is more important than any destination location due to the nature of the wine, food and hospitality industry.
Let’s explore some options for getting around Napa and Sonoma:
Private Touring Services (SUV)
As with FWT, private guided tours offer the most flexibility, education, personalization and professionalism than any other type of service. It does come at slightly higher initial cost, but that cost is often offset with several key factors that travelers fail to recognize – waived (or reduced) tasting fees, extra wines, discounts, shipping services, concierge-type services, dining recommends, specialty services, touring efficiency & safety – just to name a few. Additionally, we offer numerous insights (i.e. insider locals’ knowledge) to all your other activities so you can make the most of your short time here. In working directly with customers in partnership with their specific needs, we can work within whatever parameters given us to meet most any budget…we can truly deliver more for less as needed in dedicated comfort. And, in a manner that parallels customer expectations of all that your special trip to wine country offers.
Limos or Town Car Services
These were great 15-20 years ago when there was somewhat a ‘cache’ to being in a Limo or some other ‘black’ vehicle and other options were limited. Limos are quite antiquated now (and frankly a bit dark and dreary) for seeing wine country in its best light. Additionally, Limos are often restricted as to where they can go now and you will see many signs that indicate ‘No Limos/Buses’ allowed. Plus, who wants to sit backwards or sideways after drinking all day…? Town Cars offer little (if any) personal space or conveniences that can make your trek around wine country most comfortable. Opt for the SUV or Limo Bus/Sprinter services either way.
*Note: Read the fine print with these services. They often charge exorbitant ‘service charges’ and/or other fees up to 35%.
The first glaring issue with ALL of these services is that they are not formally licensed or governed by the same arm that private services have to abide by, the PUC (Public Utilities Commission). The PUC provides a TCP license to ‘For Hire’ transport services that then require proper insurance and reporting to the State of California along with DMV screened driver reports to make sure drivers have sound driving records. There is currently a big push for these services to fall in to some category as to assure customers that drivers are properly registered and insured to handle ‘For Hire’ transport services. The vast majority of these services are not properly insured or screened, and unfortunately it will require a major accident for the PUC to fully take some serious action. Hotels and concierges have already been put ‘on notice’ that they can be made responsible/liable if they recommend a service that is not properly insured. From a touring perspective, given there is no screening process and they just try to fill seats, you get random persons with random levels of experience and hence a very random level of overall service. You have to ask yourself – Do you want to risk the most important part of your trip to cram in to our own (rental) car with no regard to safety or personal comforts? Hmm….
Group Join-In Tours
These are great options for first-timers who do not care to make any personal choices of where to go or have any regard what kind of wines they prefer. It is also great way to meet people and make their time in wine country more of a party atmosphere. Count on it though that within a group of 10-15 people there will be someone (or several) who will not be able to handle their alcohol very well and it impacts the entire group for the rest of the day. In our experience, once people have done this type of tour day and gotten it out of their system they almost always opt for the more personalized or private experience next time out.
Uber is OK for A-to-B service for dinners and as an alternative to Taxis and getting around town after-hours, not so for wine tours…at all. We have encountered various people trying to navigate wine country using this method very unsuccessfully with very unqualified drivers. Depending on Uber to get you to/from wineries on time is impossible and the wineries frown upon it greatly. It is a bit of a running joke amongst guides as we watch people waste their day waiting around or being delivered to place that they did not realize was ‘appointment only’ then having to get another ride somehow to the next place. Plus, Uber drivers do not like to go far up valley where most wineries are located and they have a poor attitude about it. Not mention that the majority of Uber drivers servicing this area are not from Napa/Sonoma and have no idea where they are going or anything about wines whatsoever. Uber’s push in this area falls far short of the expertise you need to navigate wineries and most people underestimate the timing getting around. Not to mention having to lug any wine you purchase from place to place in the heat. Save your Uber trips for the short treks around town.
There is a reason this is last on the list and frankly the least viable option. Aside from the obvious ‘drinking and driving’ issue, wine country has been deemed the ‘most dangerous’ place to drive in CA. So even if not your fault, you will be breathalyzed and at risk. The average DUI charge here in Napa/Sonoma exceeds $10k. Even if someone in the ‘group’ is the ‘DD’, the amount of time wasted in trying to navigate and figure our who, what, where, how, etc…you could have done and seen things you would never know about that can impact your entire trip. And, have gotten insights for the rest of your trip that make it that much more enjoyable and resourceful for the next time out.
Worth the Effort…
The bottom line is that you’ve spent all this time, effort and money to make your trip to wine country special. Why skimp on the most important part that will have the biggest impact on your overall trip? And, we could argue a myriad of other ways we’ll help you save money somewhere along the way during your trip with just our insights and guidance for the entirety of your stay here.
Napa and Sonoma are some of the most traveled and revered destination locations in the world. Go back home knowing you saw the best wine country has to offer. Who knows, you may or may not get this chance again…make the most of if while here.

but here we were, the train whooshing by ready to take us to tj. we strolled across the border with ease–goodness, i thought to myself, i assumed this would be much harder. little did i know that was the way back. the ease of entering a foreign country made it feel, well, considerably less foreign–many restaurants are far harder to get into. it hit me that we were no longer in san diego when we were bombarded with a variety of offers, propositions and some of the loudest ranchero musics i’ve ever heard, blaring from speakers set up on the main road. the mood changed quickly once we got a few hundred yards in and began to feel more like a ghost town, or, perhaps more accurately, like a town hit by a zombie apocalypse. there was almost no one on the streets save a few lone walkers here or there. i can’t imagine a more interesting place to set a short film or photo shoot frankly.
we walked another mile into the main areas of the city, where the scene started to turn into something else entirely. i felt like a (semi-anxious) child, taking in a landscape that was entirely different than any i had seen outside of photographs or films. there was so much to look at, from interesting decrepit buildings to the steepest wheelchair ramps i’ve ever seen, as well as amazing vintage typography. once i got over my initial anxiety (and had a few of the most delicious tacos of my life to date) i began to really take in the experience. one more reason to push just a little bit beyond preconceived notions of comfort, belonging or difference.
the trek back over the border was arduous, long and annoying (we weren’t up to speed on the sentri or passport card), but it was all in all an experience well worth repeating again very soon. | travel |

This helps make your travelling convenient, fast and also cost-effective. However, there are some do’s and don’ts of car rental which you should know before commencing with your trip. Below are some of these do’s and don’ts to help you go about your car rental successfully:
Do’s of car rental
Compare car rental prices: Before you reserve a rental car from one company, always take time to compare car rental prices. You can use a car rental marketplace such as travelauto.com to find suitable rental cars and compare prices from different rental companies. This will help you find the best deals in the market.
Choose the right rental car: Think about your travelling needs and choose the car accordingly. In case you are travelling alone and on a budget, a small car will be enough bit if you are travelling with a team and have luggage, a large SUV or Sedan will be a great choice. Additionally. even while travelling alone, it is safer to hire a SUV if you are going to be on an interstate highway for a great part of your journey.
Pre-book you car: Do not wait until the last minute to make your booking. Instead, book your car online and do it early. This will help avoid any disappointments while at the same time enabling you to get discounted prices for car rentals.
Don’ts of car rental
Rent from a small company: Renting a car from a small and unestablished company might be disadvantageous in case your car needs replacement. Established car rental companies have fleets which will come in handy in case you want to change cars for whatever reason. Also remember, most of the big car rental companies have a in house service station. In case of vehicle break down, there won't be any one to assist.
Ignore the insurance: Check whether your car insurance is transferrable to the rental car. As a matter of importance, do not hit the road without proper insurance as this will help if you are in need. In India, all cars are insured by the car rental company and the cost of repair is borne by the insurance company ultimately.
Now that you know the do’s and don’ts of car rental, go ahead and plan your trip early and travel in convenience. | travel |

About 12 hours after coming home from Kaysha and Ryan's wedding my family and I were packed up and on the road headed to one of the most breathtaking places in the world (in my opinion). :) We had a great week hiking and exploring our way around Banff and Jasper up in Alberta, Canada. We had no phones, no internet, no t.v., nothing and it was awesome!
Now, it's back back to work! Full speed ahead for a summer full of family photos, weddings, senior pics and more! Give me a shout ([email protected]) if you want to get on the schedule. Weekends are starting to fill up but weekdays are fairly open as of right now. | travel |

Cedar City is a town in South Central Utah named for the juniper trees growing in the area which the pioneers had identified as cedars, most likely due to Biblical references to the cedars of Lebanon.

Camping takes as much planning as any other type of fun family vacation, especially if you have kids.
Planning Your Family Camping Trip
If you want to have a fun camping trip with your whole family, start planning now. Especially if you plan on going tent camping. If you are using an RV it’s easier for you to bring a little bit of home with you. But when you are tent camping you have to plan ahead to make sure you have everything you need.
When you go camping your most likely not going to be near a large city. Because that’s the point right? To get away from it all! So you need to make sure you plan your family camping trip well. That way you’ll have everything you need.
Research the Area
To begin planning a family camping trip you need to decide on your destination. Once you know where you’re going, research the area. That way you’ll know what type of camping accommodations there are.
Are you allowed to use a tent? Is there a place for your RV? Are there cabins or yurts for rent? Are there toilets and showers? This information will help you know what to bring with you on your trip.
Create a Checklist So You Don’t Forget Anything
Create a checklist for everything you want to bring with you so packing everything will be a lot easier. Once you have the checklist, you can start packing for your trip, marking off the things you’ve packed.
Planning a family camping trip is essential for a fun family camp out. It doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend or longer. Planning makes everything easier.
Plan how you’ll prepare your meals and snacks. If you are glamping in an RV, you can make meals that aren’t much different from home. But if you only have a cooler, campfire, and a grill then you’ll have to plan your meals around what you have.
Prep before You Go – to save yourself time and effort prep everything you can before you go. Get all the prep for each meal and snack out of the way because it’ll be a lot easier to pack and store. Plus, it’ll make mealtimes so much easier! You don’t want to spend all your time cooking and cleaning.
Think about Where You’ll Be Cooking – will there be a picnic table at your site? Are you allowed to have a charcoal grill or are gas grills only allowed? This information is useful so you know what you can and can’t cook.

Meal Prep Ideas for Camping
You can meal prep breakfast burritos before you leave for your camping trip. Cook your ingredients like scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, bacon, and peppers. Then wrap them in a tortilla and wrap the entire burrito in tin foil. At breakfast time throw them on the grill inside of their tin foil to heat it up.
All you need to do at home is prepare the batter. You can either make it yourself from scratch or mix together the store version. Store the batter in a plastic squeeze-bottle or even a plastic bag. At breakfast, you can squeeze the batter onto a pan and cook the pancakes over the open fire.
You can cook the chili at home then store it in a container until it’s time to cook. Chili is a simple and easy meal to feed the family.
Dressing for Your Camp Out
Pack the right clothes. Knowing what to wear while camping is important. Because during the day it could be warm but the temperature can drop a lot at night. You’ll want to make sure you stay warm at night since you’ll be sleeping outdoors.
The other important thing to plan for is packing the right clothes for everyone. Depending on where you camp you may not have access to a washer and dryer. So make sure to bring extra clothing and shoes for each person. It’s better to be over-prepared than underprepared, especially with kids.
Consider the Weather – Make sure to check the weather forecast before you pack for your trip. Also, consider the climate of the place you’re going. Make sure you know what to expect so you have the proper clothing.
Dress for the Activity – Also think about what you plan to do. If you’re going for a hike you’ll need hiking boots or a pair of tennis shoes. If you’re near water, you’ll need a swimsuit and a towel too so you can dry off.
Wear Layers – The best way to dress when you’re outdoors is in layers. Also, there is clothing designed for camping, such as long pants that zip off into shorts.
Fun Activities to Do While Camping
Research activities you can do around or at the campground. What you do on your camping trip depends on the place you go to.
- Hiking – If you have mountains nearby, it’s fun to hike up the mountain so that you can take in the views from the top. It’s fun to do and good for you. Make sure you know what you’re doing and dress for the terrain, so you don’t fall.
- Fishing – Fishing is a great way to relax and enjoy the great outdoors. If you’re lucky you may be able to catch your dinner. It’s always exciting when you or someone you’re with has a bite and when it’s getting reeled in to see your catch.
- Swimming – There may be a lake or a river near your campsite. Swimming is always a fun activity for kids and adults. Plus, if the weather is hot it lets you cool off and feel refreshed.
- Floating – If you’re camping near a river a fun activity to do with the family is floating. Grab some Intertubes and enjoy a few hours floating down the river. It is a great way to relax and take in the scenery.
Outdoor Gear You’ll Need
Take the right gear. Whether it’s hiking boots, water shoes, a swimsuit or a raincoat, you need to bring the right gear. What you bring depends on what is available from the campsite. Or whether you’re roughing it in the backwoods or not.
Here is a list of things you may need to bring on your camping trip.
- Tent – If you don’t have an RV or camper, then you’ll want to bring a tent.
- Chairs – Are great for relaxing around the fire and keeping off the ground.
- Sun Canopy – It might not hurt to bring a sun cover or umbrella so you’ll be sure to have shade on those hot summer days.
- Sleeping Bags – Sleeping bags are better than blankets. They are easier to roll up and travel with. And sleeping bags can keep you warmer at night.
- Air Mattress – Air mattresses will keep you off the cold hard ground. And you’ll have a more comfortable night’s sleep. Don’t forget to bring a pump to air up the mattress!
- Flashlights – Flashlights are a necessity to avoid stumbling around in the dark.
- Cooking Equipment – You may need a gas grill or a charcoal grill if your campsite doesn’t have one. Don’t forget the pots and pans, at least one large pot and one large skillet.
- First Aid Kit – Anything can happen, especially if you don’t bring a first aid kit. Get a special first aid kit designed for camping. So that you have butterfly tape and other supplies when you’re a distance from medical care.
- Simple Tools – You may need a hammer to anchor your tent to the ground. Especially if you’re in a windy area. Also, bring a small shovel so you can put out your fire before going to bed.
- Lighter or Matches – Having these on hand makes lighting a fire easier than rubbing two sticks together 🙂
- Citronella Candles – One of the worst parts about camping is the bugs. A few citronella candles placed around your campsite can keep bugs away.
- Toilet Paper – It’s always good to have toilet paper on hand. Even if there is a bathroom at the campground it doesn’t mean there will be toilet paper.
- Baby Wipes – Baby wipes are a great way to stay clean while camping. They are very helpful to keep faces, hands, and other body parts clean between showers.
- Sunscreen – Make sure to protect your skin, having a sunburn while camping is no fun.
- Allergy Medication – Antihistamine can help with itchiness from bug bites. It’s also good to have on hand if there is pollen in the air or if someone comes in contact with poison oak or ivy.
- Can Opener – Seems obvious, but we have forgotten to bring a can opener. Many times we have had to get creative in opening our cans.
- Bucket – It’s good to have a bucket to cleaning any dishes or utensils. And a bucket will also come in handy for putting out your campfire.
- Water – Bring your own drinking water. The rule is you’ll need at least one gallon of water per person, per day.
Staying Safe While Camping
Camping is a lot of fun until someone gets hurt. Staying safe while camping is about common sense and understanding your environment. Having the right tools and equipment and staying aware will keep you a lot safer.
The Type of Animals in the Area – It’s good to know what type of animals are in the area. So you know what to do if you encounter these animals. For example, if there are bears you may want to have bear spray with you. And you want to keep your food locked up.
The Type of Terrain – Know what type of landscape you’re dealing with. So that you can bring the right tools and clothing.
Wear the Right Clothes – Again, know where you’re going and what you’re going to do. So that you can bring the right type of clothing that will keep you safe.
Enjoy Your Camping Trip
Camping trips are a fun way to spend time with your family. To create less stress make a plan for your camping trip. Make sure you pack the right clothes. Plan how you’ll prepare your meals and snacks. And be sure to take the right gear with you.
With a little planning, you’ll have a smooth camping trip. Everyone will have a good time and fun memories will be made!
Have you taken your family camping? What plans do you make before staying in the great outdoors? Let me know in the comments:)

I had never been before and it’s been on my bucket list for a while! I love small town New England charm and was ready to feast on lobster rolls for the entire four days I was there. Maine did not disappoint. In fact, I felt as though I had stepped into a Nicholas Sparks movie and I never wanted to leave!
I spent long weekend in Portland and Cape Elizabeth walking into the local shops and farmer’s markets, whale watching, exploring landmarks like the Portland Headlight and museums and sunset walks on the beach (no joke, it was cheesy and perfect and had The Last Song written all over it!)
First things first, we booked the flight and now needed a hotel, having never been I was solely going off anything I could find on the internet. After lots of research, texting all my friends who went to school in Maine and grew up in New England, we decided we wanted to see as much of Maine as possible. There are lots of options in downtown Portland but we stayed at The Black Point Inn, a charming bed and breakfast, about 20 minutes from downtown. The inn is right next to the water, it has bikes to rent and ride along the shore, a mile long hiking trail and pathways to walk and view the beautiful residential mansions! The staff was super accommodating and told as all the things to do around the inn. We had breakfast and lunch on the patio but never ended up getting to the main dining room for dinner. The food is great, the bike rides and hiking trails are refreshing after being in New York City all summer and it’s a quick ride into town.
We flew in early on Friday morning to Portland, rented a car, threw our luggage in the truck and drove right to downtown, stopping for donuts on the way at Holy Donut. I didn’t realize there were two locations! We went to the location driving into downtown instead of the one on Exchange Street. Regardless, it’s perfect for an Instagram photo and yummy if you like unique flavor combinations. I definitely tried the Maple Bacon and Chai Glazed donuts… Oh and also the Pomegranate flavor, well worth it! In case I forgot to mention that this trip was almost solely food based, I will now!
Once we got into downtown, I wanted to look around Commercial Street. This the main drag where you can check out the local shops and then wonder your way around on the cobblestone streets to see the rest of the stores. For lunch, we went and got Fries/Burger at Duckfat to go! There are hours wait time at Duckfat, Eventide and Honeypaw. These are all within the same area so get there early if you want to sit down. We went into East Ender and had a raspberry and basil cocktail called The Ricky as we waited for our truffle fries and Cubano sandwiches from Duckfat. YUM!
After we finished lunch we drove over to see the Portland HeadLight, the Maine Historical Society & Wadsworth-Longfellow House. Then in was time to eat again, we went to dinner at a tiny Italian restaurant called Piccolo. If you decide to stay downtown, ForeStreet is supposed to be incredible but its packed a lot of the time so if a reservation isn’t avail you can eat at the bar for dinner. Street and Co and Central Provisions are also fantastic!
On Saturday, the alarm woke us up bright and early for coffee and a 9 am call time to go whale watching! We spend four hours trying to track down whales… we failed! We didn’t see one whale. However, ended up seeing a school of more than 500 dolphins! The tour guides of Odyssey Whale Watch were beyond ecstatic because the dolphin sightings apparently only happen a few times a year and no one had seen them this season yet.
Sitting on a boat for four hours, you really can work up an appetite, so naturally we went to find the famous Maine lobster roll. We were pleasantly surprised when the boat dropped us off next to Portland Lobster Co. The lobster was everything you would expect and more! Delicious, fresh and satisfying.
By the late afternoon, we drove back to The Black Point Inn, went on a bike ride and then got ready for dinner at The Earth at Hidden Pond. The food was good, the ambiance was romantic with the room lit completely by candlelight!
With an early flight on Sunday morning, we headed back to NYC. The trip was short but sweet and filled with lots of New England activities. | travel |

We hope that the information below will also be helpfull as you explore the beautiful city of Tübingen and work on your research here.
The City of Tübingen
Tübingen, with its picturesque location on the Neckar River, is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. The modern city is built around the well-preserved and lovingly-restored Old Town, which contains buildings dating back to medieval times. The marketplace, the castle (Schloss), the main church (Stiftskirche), and the riverfront all attract visitors.
Tübingen is a university town, and has been one for over 500 years, since the Eberhard Karls University was founded in 1477. Today about one-third of the city's 83,000 inhabitants--28,000 in all—-are students, making Tübingen the German city with the lowest average age (39.1 years / December 2015) and giving it a cheerful bustle and cosmopolitan character.

According to numbers from Qatar’s Tourism Ministry, almost 2 million people visited the gulf country, most being from Europe, with a predominant theme of exploring the country’s heritage and sights.
So to kick-off The Town’s first official blog post, we’d like to give you a list of must-see places for you to visit if you’re planning a trip to its sandy beaches and pearl riddled shores:
Built on an ancient market site, the area remains the social heart of Doha. Centuries ago, Bedouin would bring their cattle of sheep and goats here to trade for essentials, and the entire market area has been cleverly redeveloped to look the part of a 19th-century souq, with mud-rendered shops and exposed timber beams, plus some authentic and beautifully restored original Qatari buildings.
It persists as one of the most traditional marketplaces in the region.
This is the place to look for national Qatari dress, including the beautifully embroidered bukhnoq (girl’s head covering), spices, perfumes and oud.
Until land was reclaimed along Doha’s waterfront in the 1970s, the waters lapped at the entrance to Souq Waqif, where traders were just as likely to arrive by boat as by camel. The first semi-permanent shops here were built around 250 years ago. Before that, vendors stood and sold their wares from makeshift stalls, as the market often flooded, and it is from this tradition that the souq’s name derives: waqif means ‘standing’ in Arabic.
Distance from hotel: 7-minute drive.
MUSEUM OF ISLAMIC ART
With the largest collection of Islamic art in the world, drawn from three continents. Rising from its own purpose-built island, and set in an extensive landscape of lawns and ornamental trees off the Corniche, the museum is shaped like a postmodern fortress with minimal windows (to reduce energy use).
The collection is spread over the 1st and 2nd floors house the permanent collection, which includes exquisite textiles, ceramics, enamel work and glass, all showcased conceptually.
Distance from hotel: 16-minute drive.
For a glimpse of Qatari heritage, you shouldn’t miss the Falcon Souq.
You only have to see the scale of the market, afforded its own traditional arcaded building off Souq Waqif, to understand the place of falconry in Qatari society. Evenings are the best time to come, especially on Thursdays, when you can watch customers examining the birds and discussing the finer points of falconry with the shopkeepers.
Distance from hotel: 8-minute drive.
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF QATAR
The much-anticipated opening of the National Museum of Qatar took place in March 2019. French architect Jean Nouvel’s sprawling desert-rose-inspired structure is spectacular and houses 1.5km of galleries that have been organised into three ‘chapters’: Beginnings, Life in Qatar, and Building the Nation. Exhibits focus on Qatari history and heritage, celebrating the nation’s past, present and future on the world stage.
Distance from hotel: 10-minute drive.
QATAR NATIONAL LIBRARY
One of the best libraries in the world, this incredible, spaceship-like structure contains a literary wonderland of two million books, including ancient maps and Qurans and literature dating back to the 15th century.
The library also contains egg chairs, work stations, exhibition spaces (with rotating shows by modern artists), a children’s library and a cafeteria-style restaurant. An innovation station has a recording studio filled with instruments; it’s free to use, but bookable by residents only. Likewise, anyone can read the books while visiting the library, but only Qatari residents may borrow them from the building.
Distance from hotel: 28-minute drive.
One of the best and most beautiful green spaces along the Doha waterfront, Museum of Islamic Art Park is home to Richard Serra’s vertical steel sculpture, known as 7, this celebrated artist’s first public piece of art in the Middle East. It’s also home to cafes with some of the finest city views in Doha, including the MIA Park Cafe, as well as pop-up food trucks.
Distance from hotel: 15-minute drive.
Once you’ve visited all these destinations, check back in with our blog to stay up-to-date with what the magical city of Doha has to offer. | travel |

I drive by it several times a week.”
And I asked, “Have you ever pulled in?”
Nope, they hadn’t. Here’s all the Phillippi Estate Park loveliness they missed:
- 60 acres of 100+ year old Florida.
- A shady playground for the kids.
- A natural walking path through the mangroves.
- Fishing piers on the tidal creek.
- Observation decks (look for marine life!)
- Canoe and kayak launches with plenty of parking.
- Picnic tables under centuries-old oak trees.
- A palm circle planted by some of the first folks from Up North.
- An ancient midden (and in case you don’t know what a midden is, a signed self-guided tour explaining all for your delight.)
- Oh, and there’s an app with a walking tour through the park.
- A mansion built in 1916, and its outbuildings, including the Keith Farmhouse, a simple wooden structure that’s lasted over a century and due to become the Phillippi Interpretive Center.
And that’s without mentioning the seasonal (October-April) Wednesday Farmhouse Market, the free Brown Bag concerts in the winter, weekly docent-led tours of the Edson Keith Mansion on Market days, the rose garden, benches for sitting and contemplating life while gazing over the water… and of course, dogs, leashed, are welcome. A Save the Date: History Day in the Park will be Saturday March 25 2023. | travel |

Hello! I understand you may be considering a visit to the Gardens RV Village. As president of the homeowners association, I’d like to invite you to stay a while and meet some of our neighbors. I know you will find it a very welcoming, friendly place.
Gardens residents are pretty active people: Besides our love of travel and RVing, most of us are passionate about exploring other interests, too. From the outdoor types who like to motorcycle through the countryside, play golf, or hone their pickleball techniques; to those involved in arts and crafts who build model airplanes, restore antique vehicles, or become champion quilters, you name it! There’s a wide diversity of interests here.
And, of course, we are HUGE on get-togethers. After all, we’re RVers! There’s an unwritten agreement in the Gardens: If your RV garage door is open, that’s an invitation to visit. And forget about taking a ‘short’ walk through the neighborhood. People here love to pause and chat. It’s like time-traveling back to a more laid-back, genteel time when the pace of life was not so harried and you could take the time to get to know your friends.
My wife, Silvia, and I were attracted to the Gardens when we were looking for a retirement destination. Our search began during my 32nd year of active duty service in the U.S. Army. I’m the type to carefully research options. Looking for an ideal location was no different. Through an internet search for “houses with RV garages in Tennessee,” The Garden’s RV Village website came up. I shared it with Silvia and we changed our travel plans so we could drive there and see this interesting place I found on the internet.
The day after getting set up on “Homeless Hill” in the Gardens we took a tour of all the available homes for sale. After walking around the neighborhood and talking with all the friendly people, Silvia and I knew we had found the perfect place for us!
We couldn’t have found a more ideal, well-suited place. First, our money goes further by living in Crossville. Not to mention, there’s no state income tax on my pension. City and county real estate taxes are just about the most affordable in the country. But even more than that, we believe the quality of life we’re experiencing here, in the Gardens, is impossible to beat.
Almost all of your friends and neighbors here are retired. This makes it very easy to do things together any day of the week. We share ideas, experiences, and information with each other all the time. We play together, we work on projects together and we travel together. We help each other in so many ways. There is just no better place to be! I encourage you to come see for yourself. Most folks say their only regret is they did not come here sooner!
Eugene Turpin, President

The city has become the center of business and commerce as well as the center of education in the entire Northern Luzon thereby becoming the seat of government of the Cordillera Administrative Region (C.A.R.). According to the 2010 census, Baguio City has a population of 318,676.
Baguio City was established by the Americans as a hill station in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. It was the United States' only hill station in Asia. The name of the city is derived from the Ibaloi word bagiw meaning 'moss.' The Ibaloi is the indigenous language in the Benguet Region,. The city is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) in theLuzon tropical pine forests ecoregion conducive for the growth of mossy plants and orchids.
Because of its cool climate, Baguio City was designated by the Philippine Commission as the "Summer Capital" of the Philippines on June 1, 1903 wherein the government was transferred to city to escape the lowland heat during summer. It was incorporated as a chartered city by thePhilippine Assembly on September 1, 1909, as authored by former Philippines Supreme Court Justice George A. Malcolm. The City of Baguio celebrated its Centennial on September 1, 2009.

Benguet Province map locating Baguio
Baguio City is located some 5,050 feet above sea level, nestled within the Cordillera Central mountain range in northern Luzon. The city is enclosed by the province of Benguet. It covers a small area of 57.5 square kilometres (22.2 sq mi). Most of the developed part of the city is built on uneven, hilly terrain of the northern section. When Daniel Burnham plotted the plans for the city, he made the City Hall as a reference point where the city limits extend 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) from east to west and 7.2 kilometres (4.5 mi) from north to2 south. It is the highest major Philippine city in terms of elevation. Andy Chen wrote about the Geography of Baguio in 1910.
The majority of the people are Roman Catholics. Other religious groups include are the Episcopal Church,Iglesia ni Cristo, Jehovah's Witnesses, United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP),Jesus Is Lord Church (JIL), Jesus Miracle Crusade (JMC), The United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Churches, Baptist and Bible Fundamental churches. There is a significant number of Muslims consisting of different ethnicities and nationalities. The largest Masjid (Mosque) in the locality is Masjid Al-Maarif. It is well known for being one of the centers of Islamic Studies in the Philippines.
The economy of Baguio is centered on tourism and its educational institutions, of which it has at least eight colleges and universities, as well as a plethora of trade and technical schools. Based on the latest census done in 2007, almost half of the city's population are students, many of whom come from nearby provinces, with numerous foreign students to add to the diversity.
Another key source of income for Baguio is its position as the commercial hub for the province of Benguet. Many of the agricultural and mining goods produced in Benguet pass through Baguio for processing, sale or further distribution to the "lowlands."
Tourism is one of Baguio's main industries due to its weather and history. During the year end holidays some people from the lowlands prefer spending their vacation in Baguio, to experience cold temperatures they rarely have in their home provinces. Also, during summer, especially during Holy Week, tourists from all over the country flock to the city. During this time, the total number of people in the city doubles. To accommodate all these people there are more than 80 hotels and inns available. Local festivities such as the Panagbenga Festival also attract both local and foreign tourists. Baguio City is the lone Philippine destination in the 2011 TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Destinations Awards, Asia category, with the city being among the top 25 destinations in Asia.
Loakan Airport is the lone airport serving the general area of Baguio. The airport is classified as a trunkline airport, or a major commercial domestic airport, by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other airports in the Philippines except the major international airports. It is about 10 minutes by car from the city center going south. Due to the limited length of the runway which is 1,802 meters or 5,912 feet, it is restricted to commuter size aircraft. This perhaps contributed to the city's declining competitiveness against other medium-sized cities around the country. The airport is used primarily by helicopters, turbo-prop and piston engine aircraft, although on rare occasion light business jets (LBJ) have flown into the airport.
The three main access roads leading to Baguio from the lowlands are Kennon Road, Aspiras-Palispis Highway (previously known as Marcos Highway) and Naguilian Road, also known as Quirino Highway. Kennon Road starts at Rosario, La Union and winds upwards through a narrow, steep valley. This is often the fastest route to Baguio but it is particularly perilous, with landslides during the rainy season and sharp dropoffs, some without guardrails. The Aspiras Highway, which starts in Agoo, La Union and connects to Palispis Highway, at the boundary of Benguet and La Union Provinces, and Naguilian Road, which starts in Bauang, La Union, are both longer routes but are much safer than Kennon Road especially during rainy season, and are the preferred routes for coaches, buses, lorries (trucks) and by more conservative car drivers.
It takes about six hours to travel the approximately 250 km (155 mi) distance between Manila and Baguio City by way of Kennon Road. It is about fifteen to thirty minutes longer through the Aspiras-Palispis Highway, and could take three more hours if going up from Manila via Naguilian Road—which is the usual route for travelers from the Northern areas of Luzon such as Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and northern La Union province.
There is another access to Baguio from Aritao in the province of Nueva Vizcaya passing through Itogon, Benguet but this is less traveled, the road is not well maintained, and public transportation through this route is not as regular. It is particularly difficult during rainy periods. Another road, Halsema Highway (also known as "Mountain Trail") leads North through the mountainous portion of the Cordillera Autonomous Region. It starts at the northern border of Baguio City, in the Municipality of La Trinidad (Trinidad Valley). This highway offers some extraordinary scenery, coupled with some sheer drops of hundreds of feet in some sparsely populated areas. Drivers should be well-versed in Cordillera-style mountainous driving, as this road has, on very rare occasions, experienced sleet / freezing rain conditions as one proceeds North toward Sagada, Mountain Province.
There are several bus lines linking Baguio with Manila and Central Luzon, and provinces such as Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Quezon, La Union, and those in the Ilocos regions. Most transportation companies also offer express and air-conditioned buses at a higher fare, although some "aircon" minibuses offer cheaper fares. Bus services that operate in Baguio include Victory Liner, Partas, GV Florida Transport, Philippine Rabbit,Viron Transit, Dangwa Tranco, Genesis Transport, Saulog Transit Inc., Dagupan Bus Co., Amianan Bus Line, Baguio Bus Line, Eso Nice Transport Corporation and many smaller feeder mini-buses.
The city is home to many
immigrants from other parts of the country. A significant population of foreigners also contributed to the diversity of the city's colorful culture. The languages commonly spoken in Baguio are Kankana-ey, Ibaloi, Ifugao, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, Tagalog, English,Chinese. Several establishments were founded to accommodate their needs. Posters and signages are sometimes printed with Korean translation. Several restaurants also serve different types of local and foreign cuisine.
Baguio's youth majority in the population has given it a distinct flavor different from those of other cities in the Philippines. Although Baguio is very modern nowadays, Panagbenga Festival, the annual Flower Festival, is celebrated each February to showcase Baguio's rich cultural heritage, its appreciation of the environment, and inclination towards the arts.
The city became a haven for many Filipino artists in the 1970s-1990s. Drawn by the cool climate and low cost of living, artists such as Ben Cabrera(now a National Artist) and filmmaker Butch Perez relocated to the city. At the same time, locals such as mixed-media artist Santiago Bose and filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik were also establishing work in the city. Even today, artists like painters and sculptors from all over the country are drawn to the Baguio Arts Festival which is held annually.
Many Baguio artists used the context of cultural diversity of the Cordillera Region to establish their work. Other notable Baguio artists include Narda Capuyan (weaving), Kawayan de Guia (painting), Kigao (sculpture), Willy Magtibay, Peter Pinder (fiber glass sculpture, painting, mixed media), Art Tibaldo (mixed media-visual arts) and Franklin Cimatu (poetry.) The active student population in Baguio has also spawned various interests in animation and digital arts, with several local artists doing work for large production and advertising agencies in the Philippines and abroad.

You can easily get stranded at the airport when you have not made an advanced booking for your transportation services. When looking for a transportation service that will take you to your destination, you should consider the following information.
Clearly defining your numbers when you are moving in a group can ensure that you choose the perfect transportation service. Sometimes you might have several pieces of luggage, and therefore you have to think of the right transportation company that will cater for the needs. You should choose a transportation service that will have big buses which can accommodate your large number, but when you’re travelling alone or only two of you; you can choose most of the readily available cars.
Getting to know the types of vehicle that will take you to your destination is necessary so that you check its status and if it is perfect. You should not get bored when you are travelling for several miles, and some of the facilities such as DVD player and other entertainment packages can ensure that you have fun during your journey.
Most of the leading transportation services will ensure that they hire highly qualified drivers, but it is your duty also to verify all facts about the chauffeur. Confirming the driver’s credentials such as permits, license and certification will ensure that you have fewer incidences during your trip.
It is essential that you only select the transport service that is known to keep time during the services. You should also ensure that you are well prepared when you’re making the order so that there are no further delays or additional charges. The leading companies should ensure that you are well-advised in advance about the traffic condition and the possibility of accidents in certain areas so that you also prepare and know the right time to move.
Whenever you are travelling it is essential that you make your reservations earlier so that you are not inconvenienced in any way or having to pay high amounts during the travel. Whenever you are looking for any transportation service, you should check out the online booking process, and they should have clear guidelines and well-elaborated policies. Collecting referrals and checking on the online reviews will help you to know about the best air transportation services in that area. | travel |

The dam derives its name from Banasura, a mythical character from Indian mythology who was believed to be the son of the legendary King Mahabali. The dam is situated amidst the scenic Western Ghats and is surrounded by lush green forests, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.
The main purpose of the Banasura Sagar Dam is to provide water for irrigation and drinking purposes to the surrounding areas. The dam also serves as a reservoir, and the water stored here forms a picturesque reservoir that stretches over a large area.
One of the major attractions of the Banasura Sagar Dam is its scenic beauty. The reservoir offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, forests, and the crystal-clear water. The calm and serene ambiance makes it an ideal spot for boating and enjoying leisurely walks along the dam.
Boating is a popular activity at Banasura Sagar Dam, and visitors can hire pedal boats or speedboats to explore the reservoir. Floating atop the pristine waters surrounded by the picturesque landscape is a memorable experience.
Apart from the dam and reservoir, the area around Banasura Sagar Dam is blessed with natural beauty and offers opportunities for trekking and hiking. There are several trekking trails that lead to the nearby hills, providing panoramic views of the dam and its surroundings.
Visiting Banasura Sagar Dam during the monsoon season, which is from June to September, is particularly enchanting as the surrounding vegetation turns lush green, and the dam is filled to its capacity, creating a spectacular sight.
The dam is located approximately 21 kilometers from the town of Kalpetta in Wayanad district. It is well-connected by road, and both private and public transportation options are available to reach the dam.
Entry to Banasura Sagar Dam is subject to a nominal fee, and there are facilities like parking, restrooms, and food stalls available for visitors.

Directed by Lydia B. Smith
Walking the Camino embarks on a journey with six strangers from around the world as they attempt to cross an entire country on foot – with only a backpack, a pair of boots and an open mind. Driven by an inexplicable calling and a grand sense of adventure, each pilgrim throws themselves heart-and-soul into their physical trek to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. Most importantly, it is their personal journey to themselves. 500 miles on foot. Bunk-beds. Blisters. Stunning landscapes. World-class snorers. Hot searing sun, freezing cold rain. Kindness from strangers. Debilitating injury. Unexpected romance. No toilet paper when you really need it. Profound grief and deep doubt. Hunger. Laughing with new friends. Total exhaustion. You are guaranteed to experience all of this when walking the ancient pilgrim path, the Camino de Santiago.
Beautifully filmed, this intimate portrait of the dedicated walkers will move you.
Includes a Tasting of Galician Wine and a Q&A with Producer and 2nd Unit Director Theresa Tollini-Coleman.

I’ve flown and hiked these mountains countless times. But on this particular evening, everything comes together: Mystical light bathes the hills. Snow blankets the deep valleys while the warming February sun has exposes the south-facing rock, creating contrast. I position the helicopter a mile and a half above the terrain to reveal the sea of wilderness that is the Chugach. And I wait until after the sunset to capture a world of quiet and mystery, seldom experienced from this vantage point. | travel |

Here we will be looking at what to consider when looking at shapes and sizes and weights and features.
Shapes and Sizes
The spec on tents here can sometimes be a little misleading. If all you want to do in your tent is sleep then a one or two person tent will be fine. Often weather conditions and camping locations in the UK mean that you need (or want) to spend a little more time under canvass than this. It’s a good policy to buy a tent that has room for one or two more people than you expect to be camping. This way you have plenty of room if you are hauled up in a storm (or escaping the midgies) and you also have room for equipment and gear to be stored inside. Tents with vestibules are a must if you are camping with your dog, or hiking in foul weather, as the vestibule creates a dry place away from where you are sleeping to store gear or pets.
Free Standing Tents
Free standing tents are one of the most common design of tents that are available. They take on their shape as soon as the poles are inserted, this is great as you can pick up the whole tent and shake out dirt or move it within a site if required. This form of tent also provides lots of headroom, far more than tunnel style tents. These tents are also strong and sturdy, but still do need to be pegged down for air circulation and resilience to wind.
Tunnel tents are long and narrow and do not have the cross poles that free standing tents do, meaning tunnel tents need to be pegged down to retain their shape. Tunnel tents come in all shapes and sizes, with their steep sides they shed rain very well. Larger tunnel tents do tend to catch the wind.
Weights and features
When buying a tent you will find that they have two weights listed. The minimum weight is the weight of the components that you will have to take as a minimum on a camping trip. The packaged weight is the weight of the tent package when you buy it, this will often include spare tent pegs, repair kits and extra guy lines.
If you are camping in one place without much need to move the tent then a heavier weight tent can be considered, however, if you are planning a longer trip where you need to carry your tent to different locations then it’s important that you choose something which will be light enough for you to carry without over loading yourself.
Extra features on a tent will make your stay more comfortable, however, it will add weight to your tent. Decide on the features that you really need and consider the difference that this will make in terms of weight.
Vestibules are a great idea if you are planning on taking a pet or can envisage some foul weather during your camp. They give great storage to a tent, away from the sleeping area, making sure that sleepers stay as dry as possible. A vestibule also makes the sleeping area within a tent larger as you can store your gear and packs in it. If the vestibule is pole supported it will make the tent slightly heavier to carry, however, it will give you more headroom and a more comfortable entrance.
Pole Sleeves vs Pole Clips
There are two systems used for putting poles into your tent, clips and pole sleeves. Pole sleeves are much easier to use, especially when wearing gloves. They also reduce the tension on the outer canopy of the tent, meaning that your tent will last longer and be more sturdy.
Pole clips mean there is more of a gap for air between the outer and inner sections of the tent. They can be a little fiddly to use and are liable to break in very cold temperatures.
A hooded vent is an area of the canopy which is open to the outside to allow air to pass in, which are covered with a hood of waterproof fabric. This means that you can have ventilation in any weather.
Gear lofts are found in many tents, but rarely used. These look like a hammock which hangs from the inside of the poles in the fly sheet. A gear loft is particularly handy for increasing floor space and also for drying out very wet clothing. | travel |

Located on the 56th floor of the Island Shangri-la, Restaurant Petrus is a French fine diner that had been on my 'must visit' list for some time. I'd heard that there were some spectacular views from Petrus, but nothing could prepare me for the view that greeted me as we were shown to our table.
Matching the spectacular view of Hong Kong, was the plush interior of the Island Shangri-la's showpiece restaurant that was literally at the top of the world. Old style French opulence sprang to mind as we surveyed the gilt chairs surrounding crisp white linen at each table. A grand piano underneath hanging chandeliers and cherubs guarding the entrance were just some of the features that added to the feeling of pure luxury.
Matching the regal setting was a menu that was not short of luxurious ingredients, along with a wine list that showcased the restaurant's twelve thousand bottles of wine (yes, you read that correctly). We had a choice between a special black truffle degustation and a la carte, but with an unusual take on our normal dining habits, we chose the 'simpler' options of the standard a la carte menu. | travel |

In Victorian times, people travelled from across the country to relax on the sandy beach – and the Victorian pier is very much in operation to this day!
The Shore View Hotel is the ideal base to explore Eastbourne during the summer months. Read this article to discover more about Eastbourne’s impressive coastline,
Eastbourne has a beautiful stretch of sandy beach, and in the summer, it’s unsurprisingly popular with visitors. The Grand Parade Beach, which is the main beach in the area, has remarkably clear, clean waters, plus a safe bathing zone for children. The Marine Parade beaches are popular for water sports enthusiasts, or if you’d prefer a more secluded spot, head to Holywell Retreat, which is a picturesque little enclave at the foot of the South Downs.
If you’d prefer to explore the coast by foot, there are plenty of Cliffside trails. Beachy Head is the UK’s highest chalk cliff, and offers amazing views across the English Channel. The Seven Sisters Country Park is also a popular route, with seven cliffs jutting out into the sea. Explore Jane Austen Country

Eastbourne is next to the South Downs, regarded as one of the most beautiful natural locations in the UK. Jane Austen once lived here (in Chawton) and was inspired by the area, with its wooded valleys and rolling hills. It’s the perfect destination for keen hikers, or if you’d prefer to explore by car, there are numerous pretty villages and towns in the area.
For the Children
Eastbourne is ideal for family holidays. In addition to the beaches, there are plenty of other activities for the children. One of the area’s most popular attractions is Drusillas Park, which has been dubbed ‘the best small zoo in Europe’, and which also has theme park rides, adventure playgrounds and mazes. Fort Fun is also close by, where you’ll find an indoor soft-play zone and events throughout the summer.
Towner is Eastbourne’s fascinating art gallery, which has three storeys of exhibits. It regularly hosts activities for children, particularly in the school holidays, and it’s worth checking what’s on during your stay. Likewise, Redoubt Fortress museum is also popular with people of all ages, and has plenty of things for younger people to enjoy, such as dressing up in authentic outfits and trying to lift cannonballs!
Eastbourne and the surrounding area is steeped in history. You can discover more about its Victorian heyday, which is still evident if you take a stroll along the promenade, or explore Battle Abbey – the location of the famous Battle of Hastings. There are also many other places to visit in the area, such as Pevensey Castle, which was built on ancient fortifications originally placed by William the Conqueror (in 1066) and Herstmonceux Castle, which has spectacular Elizabethan gardens.
Stay on the Seafront
If you’re visiting Eastbourne, there’s only one place to stay – and that’s directly on the seafront! The views across the English Channel are among the best in the country, and it’s important to locate a hotel that lets you take in the impressive panoramas.
Shore View Hotel is perfectly situated by the beach, and is also around 20 minutes from Drusillas Park and the Sovereign Harbour – which makes it the ideal base for a British summer holiday. To find out more about this comfortable, stylish hotel, click here. | travel |

Driving tips for the deep south
We at NZ Motorhome Rentals take the offering of the cheapest deals of the day to our customers seriously. Vastly more important to us here at NZ Motorhome Rentals is the active promotion of campervan driver safety. It is vital that during your time in New Zealand you abide strictly by the New Zealand road rules for the safety of your friends and family and other road users while driving your campervan hire.
We recommend taking note of the following tips and tricks for a safe and successful motorhome based exploration on New Zealand’s roads. The Police in New Zealand are responsible for the enforcement of the road safety rules and they rightly take their jobs very seriously to ensure New Zealand roads are safe for all users so make sure you obey any directions from our safety officers.
NZ Motorhome Rentals recommends all of the following before and during your RV adventure on New Zealand roads:
Review the Kiwi road code: the road code sets out clear expectations for all road users to ensure the safety of your friends and whanau (whanau, pronounced ‘pha-no’, meaning family in the Maori language);
Make sure that you keep in the left land on the road (the centre line should always be on the right side of the driver) and ensure that you and others are wearing seat belts at all times whilst your RV is operating;
Go slowly: take it easy, the stunning New Zealand scenery looks far better when you’re travelling sub-warp speed. There is a zero tolerance for speeding and endangering others whilst out on the road in New Zealand;
Watch out for the recommended speed signs: many corners on New Zealand roads feature large reflective recommended speed signs rated for the particular corner so stick to the recommended speed and take it easy;
Use your mirrors and check what’s going on behind you: if you notice traffic building up behind your motorhome, we urge you to find the next safest spot to pull over and let the traffic pass your RV, you’ll make everyone’s day!
If you need more information about the roads and New Zealand and you’d like to speak to a human then there are nearly 150 iSite information centres located all over New Zealand. Drop into one of these centres and the friendly staff will be more than happy to assist you with any questions you might have.
If you have any further questions please visit our FAQ section or contact us.

A Montana trout fly-fishing vacation does not have to be expensive. Our trout fly-fishing packages are designed to make the most of your vacation. Our most popular fly-fishing vacation packages include both GUIDED and UNGUIDED fly-fishing days. These packages offer you the best of both worlds: Time with a skilled fishing guide on some of the area's most famous waters followed by time on your own pursuing a variety of trout species (and even some Arctic Grayling) on the less pressured yet just as spectacular waters local to our Montana Fly Fishing Lodge.
Imagine your next fly-fishing vacation:
- Day 1 - Arrive at our Montana fly-fishing lodge to start your dream trout fly-fishing vacation. Check in any time after 4 pm. Spend a little time exploring the area or head straight to the lake to catch a fine Cutthroat trout or Arctic Grayling before dinner. Get your gear in order - tomorrow your Montana trout fly-fishing vacation really begins!
- Day 2 - Grab a quick breakfast (or take it 'on the go') as you head out for a day of adventure. Join your guide for a full day float trip on one of the area’s world-famous trout streams. Pick up pointers and improve your trout-stalking skills. After a full day, return to the lodge for a delightful country gourmet meal then hit the sack to relive your adventures in your dreams.
- Day 3 - Another big day with your guide, this time on a full day walk / wade trip. Experience some fantastic trout fly-fishing while soaking in the local scenic delights. Spend the day perfecting your skills as you pursue your finned prey. Return to our Montana Fly-Fishing Lodge to enjoy another fine dining experience before tumbling once more into your down covered bed for another restful night under Montana’s big sky.
- Day 4 - A short stroll from your cabin allows you to hit the water early this morning. Catch a few Cutthroat Trout as the sun’s rays warm the hills around our Montana Fly-Fishing Lodge. After a hearty and delicious breakfast, you merely have to choose from the vast variety of local waters at your disposal before, hearty sack lunch in hand, you set out to pursue the several trout species or perhaps an arctic grayling. At day’s end, share your stories with your fellow diners as the sun paints the sky at the end of another spectacular Montana trout fly-fishing day.
- Day 5 - Catch some early morning fly-fishing action before breakfast. Then load up and head out. It’s time to return to the real world. However, your love affair with our Montana trout fly-fishing lodge and its virtually unknown fishing waters has just begun.
This is just one of the options available for your next trout fly-fishing vacation. This configuration gives you the best of both worlds - a professional fishing guide to get you started - a teacher to help you hone your skills - and then an opportunity to put them to use at your own pace on the various trout-filled yet lightly fished waters around our Montana Fly-Fishing Vacation Lodge.
ALL packages include:
- all applicable fees and taxes
- all meals (fine dining off our extensive menu) **liquor not included**
- boat usage at either lake
- Montana and Idaho fishing licenses (if desired)
- Appropriate fly fishing footware
- Float tube (for lake fishing, if desired)
- Fishing supplies (including flies you purchase during your guided excursions)
- Gratuties you might wish to leave for your hosts and guide
We invite you to take a look at our trip options to find the perfect combination for you. Or, we are happy to customize a trip to fit your wishes and skills - be it FULLY GUIDED, PARTIALLY GUIDED, or completely SELF-GUIDED. | travel |

7 Unusual Things to do in Paris
1 – Unusually Relaxing Paris: Have a Hammam
Embrace modern France with a visit to the art and culture-filled Institut du Monde Arabe and sip mint tea while gazing at Parisian rooftops and the bulk of Notre Dame.
For a more (ahem) immersive experience, strip off and head to the Hamman at the Paris Mosque (although not in that order.) Once you've recovered from the vigorous black volcanic scrub and in-depth steam among strangers, recuperate with honey-soaked baklava in the Moorish-inspired café outside.
2 – Unusually Scenic Paris: View From Montparnasse Tower
The Tour Montparnasse may not win any beauty awards, but it makes up for all that with its view from the 56h floor. Peach, ruby reds, canary yellows and lavender blaze across the sky as the sun goes down, lighting up the Eiffel Tower and the sparkling grid of Paris around it. You can dine at Europe's highest restaurant, the Ciel de Paris, if you book in advance and brace yourself for an international rather than local crowd. Cocktails, scallops and sunset over the City of Lights, what's not to like? (There's also a viewing platform, too, if you don't feel ready to dine.)

3 – Unusually Morbid Paris: the Père Lachaise Cemetery
Known as the world's most visited cemetery, Père Lachaise has over 70,000 ornate tombs of the famous and rich within a sculptured garden on over 100 acres of land. Notorious graves include Oscar Wilde in his suitably flamboyant graffitied tomb and Proust in his befittingly un-ostentatious grave. Jim Morrison can be found surrounded by devoted fans who scribble lyrics onto the trees by his resting place. It's a big place. so if you're looking for someone in particular, it's useful to carry a map with you.
4 – Unusually Inspiring Paris: The Marie Curie Museum
A small and fairly quiet affair, The Maria Curie Museum lies on the leafy streets of the 5th Arrondissement in Paris. It was renovated in 2012 with a donation from Marie's daughter, Ève Curie, and you can find the official site here. Originally housed in the Curie's old laboratory, it's an inspiring tale of the only person (not woman, person) to have won two Nobel Prizes in two separate science subjects. It also offers a surprise glimpse into the French beauty secrets of the past...when radioactive beauty treatments were for sale.
Marie Curie: An Incredible Story
A young woman, Maria Sklodowska, flees from Warsaw to Kraków for her own safety. She then moves to France in the late 1800s to study further. Her husband dies in an accident, leaving her a single mother with two young children. When World War I breaks out, she teaches herself how to drive and travels to the front line to use X-rays to help treat wounded soldiers.
Marie becomes the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize but, far more importantly, the only person in history to have won a Nobel Prize in two different science subjects: physics and chemistry.
Yet the French Academy of Sciences refused to admit her as a member, declaring that “women cannot be part of the Institute of France.”
5 – Unusually Scandinavian Paris: The Swedish Institute
As the only dedicated cultural centre outside Sweden, a visit to the Institut Suédois certainly makes for an unusual thing to do in Paris. It displays a lot of love towards the country with concerts, art exhibitions and lessons in the language. They even bring a little taste of Sweden into the heart of Paris with an authentic smorgasbord and Swedish Fika in Café Suédois.
6 – Unusually Adventurous Paris: Fly In A Hot Air Balloon
Floating over Paris in a hot-air balloon is perhaps one of the most dreamy ways to see the world’s most romantic city. The most popular (and view worthy) times to drift upwards are at dawn or just before sunset, as the sun peppers buildings and landscapes with its good-morning or goodnight. There are several companies that run balloon trips including Ballon Air de Paris and Aerfun.
7 – Unusually Seasonal Paris: The Paris Plages (Paris Beaches)
When the summer arrives and the heatwaves descend, Paris greets July with four weeks of The Paris Plages.The banks along the Seine swap traffic for treats, as ice cream sellers, concerts and sandy beaches create what you could call a "Seine-side holiday." Grab a deckchair, borrow a book or take up beach sports and kayaking.
Do you have any other ideas for unusual things to do in Paris? Let me know!

There are lots of reasons someone might consider medical tourism. In developing countries, a sick child who might otherwise die without medical intervention can be sent to a more affluent country by a charity who pay for their treatment. This is also done for people with rare disabilities, deformities and sometimes for children affected by war. Medical tourism is also increasingly popular among inhabitants of first world countries because of the rising costs of their medical care. Treatments may often be accessed more affordably in other countries. For instance, couples seeking IVF may choose to go abroad where the bill may be half that of their own country. For people who want to have the benefits of cosmetic surgery and combine it with a luxury break, specially tailored medical retreats can give them the opportunity to have their cosmetic enhancement at a state of the art private health care facility while enjoying five star hotel accommodation – and if their recovery allows – sightseeing and shopping in their chosen country.
A medical retreat can be designed to fit your own personal needs so you can choose your treatments, and if your procedure allows, you can choose to be pampered at the spa. You can also choose a hotel that suits your budget. Planning a medical retreat is as fun as planning your regular annual holiday.
If you are travelling abroad you will need to make sure you have an up-to-date passport and visa for travel to that country and all the necessary travel documentation. If the weather will be warm you will also need loose cotton clothing and a strong sun protection cream and sun hat. You should also bring mosquito repellent and make sure you drink only bottled water (or make sure you boil it first, this includes water you use to brush your teeth). You should also take cash in the appropriate currency as there may be extra charges for cash withdrawals or card usage abroad and not every venue will accept card payments. You should obtain a travel insurance policy that covers theft or loss of your personal possessions.
If you choose The Medical Park, we can assure you our medical retreats are 100% safe. All our consultations are with qualified doctors and our cosmetic surgeons have over 15 years’ experience in performing cosmetic surgeries and non-surgical beauty therapies. We have clean, hygienic hospitals and state of the art facilities and tranquil treatment rooms. We can also arrange a taxi service to and from your hotel so you don’t have to worry about getting to your appointment. 98% of our customers are happy with their treatment. To book your medical retreat, call The Medical Park today.

Remote and breathtakingly beautiful, it is also America’s preeminent art colony, home to artists and writers including Tennessee Williams, Eugene O’Neill, Norman Mailer, Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell. “Provincetown is, has always been, an eccentrics’ sanctuary,” says Michael Cunningham, who has kept a summer house in Provincetown for years. “It is one of the places in the world you can disappear into.
