Now that we are in the summer season, and surely motivated by the new outbreaks of COVID-19, many of us will be opting to travel medium and long distances by car, especially avoiding airplanes, in order to have more control over our trip and be able to return home whenever we wish if we have to change our plans more or less suddenly.
Brought about by the pandemic, this change of attitude actually has certain parallels with the different ways we think about our mobility habits. And one of these changes certainly involves adopting electric mobility, which is key to combating climate change and achieving the goals framed within the energy transition.
More responsible driving, in every sense
Due to its characteristics and mechanics, an electric car cannot be driven in the same way as a combustion engine car. In order to get the most out of it and make the best use of it, it’s essential to understand how it works and how to drive it. Whatever the journey you want to make, you must always take into account how to make the most of the vehicle’s range, therefore encouraging efficient driving. Smarter, smoother, safer and for many, more fun. More conscientious driving. More responsible.
In this sense, on trips like the ones people make in summer, for example, we’re compelled to plan routes differently, the stops for recharging are necessarily longer and this allows us to take breaks that are more beneficial in terms of safety, and allows us to enjoy and experience the journey in a different way, to better enjoy the road and the company.
Committed to electric vehicles
The industry and the administrations have a lot to improve and a lot to do to implement more and better EV charging networks. There are 5,000 charging points in Spain, 4 times fewer than in France and 5 times fewer than in Germany. Here there’s one charging point for every 134 km of roads, while in France there’s one for every 42 km and one for every 25 km in Germany.
Despite the comparisons (comparisons are odious), we’re on the right track. The automotive industry is already working hard to apply the necessary technological advances to improve the performance, charging and range of electric vehicles. We at Hispano Suiza have recently joined ANFAC (Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers), which has wisely reoriented itself to meet the challenges of its Auto Plan 2020-40, the roadmap it has designed to address the transformation of the automotive industry towards the new mobility industry, and which works to meet the targets of the European Green Deal for the decarbonization of the vehicle fleet and for digitalization.
I’ve appropriated a phrase by Henry Miller that nicely sums up in a few words what the journey towards 360º sustainable mobility means: “one’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things”.

Colin and I would like to thank you for the excellent pet-sitting services you have provided us. You answered all our questions promptly and some were fairly silly as this was our first experience with a pet-sitting service. You made it easy for us with clear e-mail messages and finding a nice pet-sitter for us in Andrew.
Andrew visited us prior to our departure, this was great as we could introduce our spoiled little pup to Andrew in a relax atmosphere. He also made sure on the night of our departure that he was there before we had to leave for the airport, it was just so much easier to leave with our suitcases while Andrew was there to comfort and keep KC distracted. Our pup looked great when we returned and Andrew taught her a few extra tricks that we are maintaining with her.
Andrew was a thoughtful house quest that left our place spotless, watered the plants in the pots and also left us a lovely gift. We would recommend Andrew anytime to other owners with spoiled and loved pets.
Thanks for everything you have done for us, there is no doubt that we will call again when we need someone to look after our precious little KC.

Established as a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the 1840s, the city became capital of an independent monarchy after British rule ended, but joined India in 1975. Today, it remains a Tibetan Buddhist center and a base for hikers organizing permits and transport for treks through Sikkim’s Himalayan mountain ranges.
Darjeeling is a town in India's West Bengal state, in the Himalayan foothills. Once a summer resort for the British Raj elite, it remains the terminus of the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, or “Toy Train,” completed in 1881. It's famed for the distinctive black tea grown on plantations that dot its surrounding slopes. Its backdrop is Mt. Kanchenjunga, among the world’s highest peaks.
Lachung is a mountain village close to the Tibetan border, in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim. It's divided by the Lachung River. The village is home to the 19th-century Buddhist Lachung Monastery, surrounded by apple orchards. Nearby, the Yumthang Valley's Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary protects many species of rhododendron. The valley is also known for its waterfalls, pine forests and hot springs. | travel |

Wellness is crucial to maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle, even when you’re on the go. Whether you travel frequently or are planning a vacation, it is vital to prioritize your well-being. This article explores various strategies and tips to help you actively promote wellness while you’re away from home. From maintaining a healthy diet to staying active and managing stress, we delve into the key aspects that contribute to your overall well-being. Read on to discover how you can ensure a rejuvenating and fulfilling travel experience without compromising your health.
When traveling or on vacation, it can be tempting to sit back and relax, but promoting wellness means staying active. Incorporating physical activity into your travel routine can help you maintain your fitness level and enhance your overall well-being. Whether you’re exploring a new city, relaxing on the beach, or hiking in the mountains, there are plenty of ways to get moving.
Consider starting your day with a morning workout or a brisk walk to explore your surroundings. Take advantage of hotel gyms or outdoor fitness facilities, or simply go for a jog or a bike ride. Engaging in activities such as swimming, snorkeling, or kayaking can also be a fun and active way to stay fit while enjoying your vacation.
Eat Balanced Meals
Proper nutrition is vital for promoting wellness, even when you’re away from home. While traveling, it’s easy to indulge in unhealthy foods or overeat, but making mindful choices can help you maintain a balanced diet and avoid any post-vacation guilt.
Start by packing some healthy snacks, such as fresh fruits, nuts, or granola bars, to have on hand during the journey. When dining out, opt for meals that include a variety of vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Additionally, try to avoid excessive consumption of sugary drinks and alcohol, as they can hinder your wellness goals.
Traveling can often disrupt your usual routine, making it easy to forget to stay hydrated. However, staying properly hydrated is crucial for maintaining your well-being while on the go. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and other health issues, so it’s important to drink enough water throughout the day.
Carry a reusable water bottle with you and aim to drink water regularly, especially in hot or humid climates. Limit your intake of sugary beverages and opt for water instead. If you’re unsure about the quality of tap water in your destination, choose bottled water or consider using a filtered water bottle or a portable water purifier.
Traveling and vacationing can sometimes be stressful, with long journeys, crowded places, and unfamiliar surroundings. To promote wellness during your trip, it’s essential to manage stress effectively.
Consider incorporating relaxation techniques into your daily routine, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Take time to unwind and prioritize activities that bring you joy and peace. Engaging in activities like reading a book, listening to music, exploring nature, or indulging in a spa treatment can help you relax and rejuvenate.
Get Enough Sleep
Adequate sleep is a vital component of overall wellness, and it’s important to prioritize rest even while traveling or on vacation. Sleep deprivation can negatively impact your physical and mental well-being, leading to fatigue, mood swings, and decreased cognitive function.
Create a relaxing sleep environment by ensuring your accommodation provides comfortable bedding, a quiet atmosphere, and suitable lighting. Stick to a regular sleep schedule as much as possible, and try to avoid electronic devices or stimulating activities before bedtime. If you’re dealing with jet lag or adjusting to a new time zone, consider taking short naps during the day to help your body adjust.
By staying active, eating balanced meals, staying hydrated, managing stress, and getting enough sleep, you can promote wellness during your travels or vacations. Prioritizing your well-being ensures that you make the most out of your experience and return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

I have taken many photos but none of them really capture how stunning the landscape is. St. Lucia is a mountainous island separating the Caribbean Sea to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. That, alone, should make you realize what it is like here. But I will post a few photos anyway.
First a little context. See the map below. I am staying in Babonneau, which is basically a suburb of the capital city Castries. This is in the northwest part of the island. North is Rodney Bay and Gros Islet, which is where many of the resorts are. Most of the island is to the south, including for example the main airport which is at the very southern tip. As you can see much of the interior of the island is green and mountainous.
Babonneau has several sections; the one I am in is called Plateau. As you might guess from the name we are very high up here in Plateau. I have not seen a figure but we must be almost 1,000 feet above sea level. Being up high and on an island means around every corner is a gorgeous vista overlooking jungle or forest or farmland cascading down to the sea below. Stunning. And impossible to capture without more equipment and talent than I have.
As I think I wrote earlier my house is located in what feels like a nature preserve. It is surrounded by dense forest. I think you will see what I mean in these four pictures.
And speaking of my bedroom, here is a picture, showing the mosquito netting covering the bed. Mosquitos here can carry Dengue Fever and also something called Chikungunya, which I guess is like Dengue but worse. And note that Dengue Fever is also called Breakbone Fever, so it's bad enough.
I don't know why but often when I take pictures with my iPhone the color is off. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I can't imagine what it is. Nonetheless in the picture below, even though the color is off, you can get a sense of how beautiful it would be if the color was not off. You can see the valley, some farmland, then a beach and the Atlantic.
I will try to take some better pictures and post them. If you really want to experience the beauty of St. Lucia, you will just have to come here and see for yourself. :) | travel |

With roughly 350’000 inhabitants Windhoek constitutes the largest city in the country and is situated in a lush and scenically appealing valley of the Auas Mountains, Namibia’s second highest mountain range. Due to its central location, the city serves as the perfect vantage point to Namibia’s vast array of tourist destinations. The city is a kaleidoscope of modern and traditional cultures, fashions and architectural styles. Overnight: River crossing Lodge.

This morning we will be travelling south to the world-renowned Etosha National Park. This unique, 22’270km²large area consists of wide-open plains and dense bush savannah that surround a parched salt desert known as the Etosha Pan. This desolate saline depression shimmers with terrestrial heat during the hotter parts of the day, and is surrounded by a number of waterholes that ensure the survival of 114 different game, as well as 340 different bird species. Wait in anticipation at a selection of waterholes that supp ort a rich diversity of mammals and birds. Some of these include rare and endangered species such as black-faced Impala, Roan, Black Rhino as well as the Elusive Eland, the largest antelope on earth. Each waterhole visited holds a surprise as no game drive is ever the same and we keep our eyes permanently peeled to try and glimpse the trunk of the elephant, the yellow eyes of the lion or the chequered face of the leopard behind the next bush. Overnight: Namutoni Camp – 1st night Okaukeujo Camp – 2nd night.
Day 5. Kaokoland
This morning we will be travelling through a network of dry river beds an interspersed acacia plains into the rugged and unspoilt Kaokoland, a land marked by undulating hills and open plains inhabited by the Ovahimba.

This remote area, south of the Kunene river, is home to the Himba; people who have kept their ethnic individuality and culture, whilst surviving in the seclusion of Kaokoland. The hotel has a dining room, bar, lounge, wine cellar, curio shop, patio and swimming pool. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are normally served buffet style, but guests are welcome to order from the ‘a la carte’ menu if they prefer. Snacks can be ordered throughout the day. Overnight: Opuwo Country Lodge.
Day 6. Damaraland

This desert town is a rhapsody of adventure, fun, exploration and relaxation. Graced with many beautiful, old buildings in a colonial, Bavarian style, the best way to experience this small town is on foot.

Built in 1870 by Lord Abinger as the primary fishing lodge for the River Lochy, it was once host to the Prince of Wales and Wallace Simpson, who stayed at the lodge in 1935 for a week’s holiday, prior to the king’s historic abdication in 1936, as guests of Lady Annie Henrietta Yule who was staying at the lodge at that time.
Camisky Lodge sleeps up to 14 people all year round and is available for family holidays, long weekend breaks, fishing, deer stalking, golf, skiing and much more. Situated only seven miles from the town of Fort William, where full transport, shopping and other amenities are located, the house offers a secluded and peaceful environment in which to relax and unwind, set against a backdrop of outstanding natural beauty and breathtaking views of Ben Nevis.
“Camisky was a fabulous place for a group of our size (ten). This was an annual week in the hills and we have stayed in a huge variety of properties over the last 35 years. This was easily one of the best. The place has had a recent makeover, which has retained the charm but ensured it is properly heated and things work. The setting is really stunning and with the week of weather we had, we never tired of the views of the Ben. Lots of space and character, everything you might expect (wifi, etc.) in a great location.” | travel |

So you’re coming to Orlando- in between the shopping trips, you plan a few theme park visits, and of course you’ll need some trinkets to bring home to your family and friends. But DON’T buy them at the parks! You’ll just end up toting huge bags to the parking lots and paying four times as much as you should. Both Disney and Universal Studios have outlets in Orlando that sell their theme park souvenirs at deep discounts.
Disney calls their shops by different names so you won’t know at first glance that they are Disney outlets. They have the same items you’ll find in the parks for 40%-90% off retail. So you can pick up your favorite authentic character t-shirts, toys, even collectibles, without getting gouged at the park. Orlando Premium Outlets International Drive, located right near Universal Studios, has a big Disney outlet called Disney’s Character Warehouse. Orlando Premium Outlets Vineland, down the road from Downtown Disney, has a Disney’s Character Premiere store with lots of great merchandise direct from the parks.
Universal Studios offers excellent values at their outlet, the Universal Orlando Store at Festival Bay Mall. This is an attractive mall with lots of great restaurants and a luxurious movie theater, located right down the street from the Orlando Premium Outlets International Drive. It is just about a five minute drive from Universal Studios. They often run EXTRA 50% off sales so you can get anything in the store for half-off the lowest price. Universal also has clearance stores in both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios, both are located directly to the right of the main park exits. They offer park merchandise at a discount of 50% or more.
Check out these Orlando outlet stores and next time you’re looking for theme park souvenirs, you’ll get much more for your money. | travel |

- Velebit Mountain Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO MaB), February 10th, 1978 - Ecological network NATURA 2000 December 1st, 2014 - UNESCO World Heritage Site, July 7th, 2017
"Manita peć" Cave
Among 115 speleological objects so far known in the Paklenica National Park, Manita peć is the most famous among the visitors, as it is the only show cave made accessible to the public through guided visits. The cave's broad chambers and the beauty of its speleothems have been enchanting visitors since 1937. It is located at an altitude of 570 m a.s.l, and the walk up from the parking lot at Velika Paklenica takes about 1.30 h.
Hiking is the only way to truly get to know Paklenica. The Park area contains 150-200 km of trails and paths, from those characterized as tourist trails - leading from Velika Paklenica canyon to Manita peć cave, Lugarnica foresters house and Paklenica Mountain hut, to those characterized as hiking trails - leading to the highest peaks of the Velebit Mountain.
Paklenica National Park is the most visited climbing center in Croatia, also popular outside Croatia. The close proximity of seawater gives this climbing site a special charm, making Paklenica Riviera an ideal place to combine climbing and water sports. Today, there are about 500 well-equipped marked routes of different difficulty and length (from grade 3 to 8b+), set in the carbonate rocks, so each climber can find something to his/her liking. | travel |

We are going to continue with the original plans for this weekend as stated on the attached itinerary.
The only change to the itinerary is that we will be using a Charter Bus company (Astro) instead of the STA buses (school buses) from last week.
Thank you for your patience in this process and the late change in plans. Due to the issues from the return trip last weekend, we all felt the change to use the charter bus company was appropriate.

According to the review, 86.76% of RJ departure and arrival flights were on time during 2022, earning it the following placement among the top five airlines in the region: Oman Air, Royal Jordanian, Kuwait Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways. Full flight data from a broad range of airlines, RJ being one, over the course of 12 months was taken into consideration to produce the list of most on-time airlines, airports and low-cost carriers for 2022.
Cirium’s data is designed to provide industry stakeholders with an independent, third-party perspective, based on the widest and deepest pool of data collected and curated from multiple sources of real-time flight information. These include the airlines themselves, global distribution systems, positional data, civil aviation authorities, air navigation service providers, proprietary data partnerships.
The company’s on-time performance data, furthermore, is backed by a completely independent board of advisors, comprised of industry experts with an unbiased view of the aviation sector. The board’s oversight ensures accuracy and proper representation of all the information the company presents.
Cirium also noted that the past year saw a challenging operational environment throughout the world, particularly in Europe and North America, with many airlines and airports experiencing delays, disruptions, labor shortages, capacity issues, and resource difficulties. Despite this climate, many airlines and airports across the globe excelled.
On this occasion, RJ vice chairman and CEO Samer Majali expressed the airline’s pleasure at kickstarting 2023 by securing its place among the Middle East and Africa region’s top airlines, elaborating that this achievement reflects RJ’s commitment to presenting its passengers with punctual flights. He went on to affirm RJ’s dedication to maintaining this competitive advantage, meeting the expectations of the airline and its passengers while continuing to deliver the best air and ground services possible.

https://www.careco.co.uk/blog/choose-pavement-mobility-scooter/ | 2024-02-28T01:28:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474690.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228012542-20240228042542-00075.warc.gz | 0.933435 | 604 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__136542491 | en | A pavement mobility scooter may be viewed as a of a middle of the road choice. It doesn’t have as much portability as a travel scooter and it can be used on the road like a 6-8mph model. A jack of all trades, master of none. However, this couldn’t further from the truth. For many who need a mobility scooter a pavement scooter is the ideal choice and here’s why.
Comfortable and Agile
If you intend on using your scooter daily then a pavement mobility scooter is a smart choice. The extra heft that they have over a travel scooter provides a smoother ride and greater comfort, while their short wheelbase makes them easier to manoeuvre in busy towns compared to a 6-8mph model. The Abilize Stride Comforter is great demonstration of this. So, if you’re someone who likes a good shopping trip and you don’t need to use a road to get there then a pavement scooter may be the ideal choice.
Plenty of Range for Exploration
It’s not only the comfort that makes a pavement scooter a great daily driver, the larger batteries in comparison to a travel scooter are also a big bonus. Since they don’t need to be limited in size to be suitable for air travel the range can be extended by increasing their total capacity. For example, the Drive Mercury Envoy 4 has a range of up to 30 miles provided by a set of 50Ah batteries. A travel distance of this size makes it ideal for driving to the town centre, even if you live in the more residential outskirts of your local area.
A Pavement Mobility Scooter Can Be Portable
If you still need a scooter that has portability features but aren’t concerned about taking it abroad then a portable pavement scooter is the ideal choice. The larger batteries give you the superior range already mentioned, but it can still be easily taken apart and put in a car boot for when you need to. The I-Go Vertex Sport is a perfect example of this. Its next-generation splitting mechanism makes it easy to separate into multiple sections, while its battery provides 15 miles of range. And it can do all this while still having the refinement of other pavement scooters.
Small Enough to Use Indoors
A disadvantage of a 6-8mph scooter is that they’re usually too large to use inside buildings or on public transport. However, a pavement mobility scooter is likely to be small enough to use inside numerous buildings and even on trains (and the odd bus). Provided there is disabled access this compact size opens up a whole host of new areas to explore and essentially extends the range of your scooter. Of course, a travel scooter may also be capable of this but they lack many of the advantages already mentioned. Check out the full CareCo range of pavement mobility scooters. | travel |

A large portion of traditional heritage keepers and activists have improved their infrastructure or exhibited new expositions with the help of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) through Local Development Strategies.
In the following article, “Jūras Zeme” has summarized keepers of coastal traditional heritage.
In the municipality of Carnikava, cultural heritage is being promoted and conserved by Carnikavas Local History Centre. The center allows tourists to acquaint themselves with the history of the region and also fishery traditions. Visitors can participate in several fishery-related programs, which include hearing fishermen stories, trying out tying fishing nets, and several other activities. A historically important activity is the program about lamprey, which is an educational program regarding the regional souvenir – Lamprey of Carnikava. A traditional annual event is happening to honor this regional souvenir and each year it attracts locals and visitors from other cities.
For more information about the Centre, please visit: Carnikavas Local History Centre
A virtual museum is being implemented in Saulkrasti, where anyone will be able to access the digitalized data of the history of Saulkrasti, which will provide information about the historical importance of fishery in this region. An important cultural heritage conservation activity is the organized event called “Eelpout Celebration”. The fishery of eelpout was traditional and usually associated with the coastal region of Vidzeme up until the 1980s, but due to the decreasing amount of eelpout population, this tradition was forgotten. The event’s purpose is to promote and keep the tradition alive, educating visitors on sustainable fishing and the coastal region’s history
In the municipality of Salacgrīva a museum, which also operates as a History Center, allows visitors to educate themselves on the fishery traditions and cultural heritage of the region. In this coastal region, there is also The Museum of Ainazi Naval School, which has expositions on the coastal history throughout the times before and post Soviet Union occupation.
For more information on the Museum and Naval School, please visit: Salacgrīvas Museum and The Museum of Naval School
The Local Actions Groups “Jūras Zeme” and “Jūrkante” have collaborated on a project which is implemented in the municipalities of Carnikava, Saulkrasti, and Salacgrīva. During this project, a digital tool was made where experience stories and interviews of coastal fishermen will be gathered. This tool will compile not only stories but also 3D and interactive tourism objects that are crucial for maritime and fishery culture in this region, allowing users of this tool to easily navigate through the region and get to know the history and must-see places.
For more information, please visit the following website: Vidzemes Zvejnieks
In the municipality of Engure, after the reconstruction of the Museum of Lapmežciems, an exposition on fishery’s effect on regional development was displayed. The exposition is interactive and allows visitors to experience and learn about fishing methods and used tools for fishing in the past.
For more information, please visit the museum’s website: Lapmežciema Muzejs (available only in Latvian)
Jūrmala Open-Air Museum offers visitors to see a completely restored fishing ship and also an exposition on fishery and the territorial development of the coastal region.
For more information, please visit: Jurmala Open-Air Museum
In the previous premises of a school in Apšuciems, a renovated Fishery and Maritime Cultural Center was opened, which allows visitors to get know more about the fishery and the historical aspects of the coastal region.
For more information, please visit: Apšuciema Zvejas un jūras kultūras centra atklāšana (available only in Latvian)

For more information, please visit: Mērsraga “Saiet Nams” (information available only in Latvian)
In the museum of fishery in Roja visitors can get to know the influence of Krišjānis Valdemārs in the ship industry’s development, everyday life of sailors, fishery and fish processing, and the history of one of the richest Soviet time kolkhoz – “Banga”
For more information, please visit: Rojas Fishery Museum (information available only in Latvian)
In Kaltene, a branch of Roja’s Fishery Museum called “Kaltene Club” operates and allows visitors to see exposition on the fishery and maritime development in the coastal region of Kurzeme.
For more information, please visit: Kaltene Club
Seaside Open-Air Museum in Ventspils offers a rich exposition of more than 24 000 items and it shows the history of fishermen and local coastal residents.
For more information, please visit: Seaside Open-Air Museum in Ventspils
A Local History Museum in Pāvilosta allows every visitor to put on 3D glasses and try the role of a fisherman – creel lamprey in the River Saka, take a small fishing boat and fish for groundlings along the Baltic seashore, as well as board a larger Baltica-type fishing vessel and go further into the open sea to look for herring

This CPR draft route is based on a route conceived by Brian Mooney and Carlo Laurenzi, and tested over many days during lockdown in 2021. It follow existing and well waymarked routes as far as possible. It is likely that revisions will be suggested and implemented over the coming years, as with many of the preceding walking routes. For example, once the bridge over the Darent, close to Dartford is completed, the route will be amended to cut out a long detour.
A final version of the guide is expected in 2023, and will provide more options and variants, whether following the North Downs Way from Otford all the way to Canterbury or sticking to the valley route along the Pilgrims Way. We believe our recommended route makes more sense for the long-distance walker, especially one carrying a heavy backpack.

You get to create a fantastic memory by doing fun activities with family and friends. On top of the list of things people do during the summer is boating.
Boating is an enjoyable activity during summer. You will enjoy cruising through the waterbody with the sun blazing down and warming the water, with splashes here and there. You get to enjoy the evening after a boat ride at the shore while enjoying grills with friends and families. It is indeed a period to look forward to!
If you didn’t get to go on a boat ride during the summer, don’t worry! It is never too late to go on one, even as we enter the fall season. The fall season can sometimes offer you an even better experience.
Summer vs Fall Boating Experiences
We agree that the summer is one of the best periods to experience boating, especially for beginners. The weather is warm and perfect for an outdoor trip. But who said you could not have a similar experience during fall?
The fall period also comes with its peculiarity that still makes a boat ride equally enjoyable. One of the benefits of fall boating is that there is usually less traffic. During the summer period, many people are out there on the lakes, and it is very crowded. But, during the fall season, you will almost have a monopoly of the lake!
If you are a strong lover of nature, the fall boating season is one for you. During the fall, you will often see a lot of birds’ species as it’s a season for migratory birds, and they are all within viewing distance. Who said fall season boating isn’t fun?
Boating Tips For The Fall Season
There are many ways to enjoy your boat trips during the fall season. However, there are safety tips you need to pay attention to make your ride the best.
- Pick the best location
You can enjoy one thing the summertime boaters did not enjoy, that is the scenery. A lovely view is always created during fall with the leaves. During this period, the leaves will have changed colors. You get to see a lot of crimson and orange colors with their reflection in the water. Get ready with your camera to strike a pose!
- Choice of outfit
If you want to enjoy the fall season boating to the fullest, you must dress correctly for it. The weather is always different during this period with the drop in temperature and the colder waterbody. You do not want to catch a cold while having fun! Dress in comfortable, warm clothing and make sure to have spare clothes.
- Shorter day, longer night
The change in season comes with many differences as well, including the day and night time. The sun goes down much earlier during the fall season than in the summertime. This means you need to set out early enough and turn your boat around in time for the shores.
- Keep your boat/PWC clean
With the colorful leaves floating on the lake, they tend to cling to your boat, so it’s important to make sure to clean the leaves and debris off your boat and keep it clean at all times.
- Time is of the essence
With the days being shorter during the fall season, it would be best if you were careful about how long you are on the lake due to the colder weather and shorter days. Know when to end the trip and make your safety a priority.
Dock Your Boat With Roll-N-Go!
One extra thing you will need in order to make your fall season boating easier and more convenient is a boat ramp from Roll-N-Go Canada. This unit provides quality PWC and boat docking on your shoreline to make it easy to dock and unload your boat at a moments notice. Check out our exciting docking solutions for your fall season boating or the next summer season. | travel |

We’re collected from the airport in an air-conditioned car and driven past cacti and desert to reach the five-star Capella Pedregal resort and spa, where it’s clear that they’ve been expecting us.
“I just have one question for you,” says the friendly, uniformed man at the resort entrance.
We pause, expecting him to ask for our passports.
“Do you take salt with your Margueritas?” he asks, with a cheeky smile.
We are then driven James Bond-style through a 300m tunnel that has been carved through a mountain – this is the only hotel in the world with completely private access – and staff are waiting to greet us. Standing in front of the breathtaking sparkling Pacific Ocean, some of the staff are holding trays with our freshly prepared drinks, while others inform us that they will be our personal assistants during our stay.
This is a resort where every guest is treated like a Hollywood star. With a 10,000m2 ocean-view spa at it’s heart, Capella Pedregal also boasts a plunge pool for every room and the opportunity to do a spot of whale-watching from the comfort of a hammock on your private balcony.
There is a mouthwatering abundance of fresh, healthy Mexican food – the resort gets through 120kilos of avocados a day to meet demands for guacamole – and the executive chef provides Mexican cookery lessons.
The resort’s unique roster of staff also includes an in-house astronomer – Capella is named after the brightest star in the Auriga constellation that shines overhead – along with a personal trainer, who has worked with celebrities, a hairstylist and a “tequila master”. There is also a curandera, a Mexican folk healer who uses locally grown herbs to provide treatments in the Auriga spa.
There are more memories to be made in Cabo San Lucas itself. Situated on the Cabo Peninsula, where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean, this beauty spot has some of the best weather in the world, with around 340 days of sunshine a year.
The surrounding ocean is a natural aquarium and home to an array of colourful fish and sea lions.
We start our trip with a visit to Land’s End, a distinctive rock formation at the southernmost trip. We hop on board a planga, a glass-bottomed boat, which takes us to the photogenic Playa del Amor (Lover’s Beach).
According to Rancho tours, a company that takes guests on the scenic sea route, it’s “like hearing one of those relaxation tapes… except it’s for real.”
The highlight is El Arco, a natural rock formation archway and a hangout for sea lions, which partially fills with the tide.
We’re also taken round the Pacific side of Land’s End, and spot Divorce Beach, whose nickname derives from the more turbulent waters.
If you want to spot even bigger marine life, Whale Watch Cabo offers small group tours, led by marine biologists, where visitors can watch in awe at Humpback or gray whales, depending on the time of their trip.
Cabo San Lucas is also a sports-lovers paradise, with snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing and water sports.
Golfers are spoilt for choice, but our favourite was the Cabo del Sol ocean course. Jack Nicklaus, who designed the course, described it as “the best piece of golf property in the world” and it’s the only course in Mexico to be ranked in the Top 100 Courses of the World. We’re visiting in March, so the temperature is pleasantly hot, and the views from the views of the ocean are outstanding.
Exploring Cabo helps us work up an appetite, and we head to the alfresco El Farallon restaurant at Capella Pedregal for the evening. There’s something magical about El Farallon, which means “a rock that comes out of the ocean”, and we sit gazing at the stars and listening to the ocean crashing on the rocks underneath. To add to the romance, lights have been strung along the cliffside, and waiters are on hand with torches to help you see the menu more clearly, or provide ponchos if the sea breeze picks up. The menu is derived from the surrounding waters, and we take our pick from moon scallop, huachinago (red snapper), cabrilla (Mexican sea bass) and spiny lobsters, that are displayed on piles of ice.
The next day there is even more indulgence with a visit to the Auriga spa, where staff are so friendly it makes each person feels as if they’re the most favourite guest. The spa is designed around a pool and waterfall, making it possible to swim to your treatment room if you so desire. There’s also a steam, sauna and ice room to relax in between treatments.
The spa’s signature treatments are those that correspond with the lunar cycle: New, Waning, Waxing and Full Moon. My visit corresponds to a waning moon, which is apparently the perfect time to cleanse the body.
Just the first part of the treatment is heavenly; a therapist cleanses my feet detoxifying oils and applies pressure point techniques, which aims to release toxins and stimulate the inner organs.
The therapist then takes my hand and leads me into an ocean-view treatment room, where I’m given a gentle body exfoliation using silk garshana gloves, before a purifying seaweed wrap and a massage that’s designed to further eliminate toxins.
My skin is glowing after the last part of the treatment, a facial massage using Organic Pharmacy products, and before I leave, I’m handed a detoxifying supplement and glass of water.
I realise that I’ve spent three hours in the spa, but could have spent longer. And even though I’ve been detoxifying, I can’t resist some of the treats that have been left out for spa guests, and pop a couple of their freshly made flapjacks, which are supplied with takeaway paper bags, into my robe pocket.
This is a resort where you never go hungry – every day at 4.30pm, nachos, guacamole and beer, or a drink of your choice, is delivered to each room.
Cabo San Lucas itself also has a selection of waterside bars and restaurants offering local dishes, but if you want a more genuine experience of Mexican culture, it’s worth making a day trip to the tranquil town of Todos Santos, which was founded in the 18th century.
Officially designated a Pueblo Magico (magical town), in 2006, Todos Santos is full of colonial charm, with shops, restaurants and boutique hotels. It’s popular with artists, so a great place to pick up a souvenir painting.
We decide to complete our trip with a group cookery lesson at Capella Pedregal. Executive chef Marcus Bustamente teaches us how to make variations of the seafood dish ceviche. My favourite is the Asian-fusion ceviche with sea bass, coconut milk, apple and lime.
We eat the products of our work, sitting in the shade of the Don Manuel restaurant, overlooking the resort’s plunge pool.
When we eventually have to leave Cabo, it’s a wrench. This is a holiday that us left us feeling sublimely relaxed – as well as shaken and stirred.
British Airways has flights from London Heathrow to San Diego, www.britishairways.co.uk. From San Diego, take an Alaskan Airlines flight to Cabo.

https://www.top-quote.co.uk/blog/miscellaneous/five-ways-to-get-cheaper-train-tickets/ | 2024-02-27T20:08:30 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474686.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227184934-20240227214934-00367.warc.gz | 0.936132 | 787 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__18962568 | en | As many commuters return to their rail journeys following the Christmas break, the prospect of an impending increase in ticket prices may be met with a sense of unease, especially in light of the recent surge in overall costs.
The next scheduled price hike for regulated fares is set for March 2024. Regulated fares encompass approximately 45% of all railway fares, encompassing season tickets for most commuter routes, select off-peak return tickets for long-distance travel, and anytime tickets for major urban centres.
While this may offer little solace, particularly after enduring months of rail strikes and subpar service, the government has made a commitment to keep this increase below the rate of inflation for the second consecutive year.
For those seeking economical alternatives, here are five strategies to secure the most cost-effective rail fares at any time of the year:
Advance train tickets are typically made available up to 12 weeks prior to the departure date, with some being accessible as early as 24 weeks beforehand. These tickets often present the most budget-friendly option for rail travel if you are amenable to fixed departure times. Occasionally, they can even be purchased up to an hour before the journey. Money Saving Expert, a personal finance website, notes that London North Eastern Railway (LNER) often releases advance tickets up to six months ahead for routes from stations north of York to London. Certain ticket purchasing apps can send notifications to your mobile device as soon as tickets for a specific journey become available.
Utilise Split Ticketing
Split ticketing allows you to take the same number of trains for your journey while saving money by dividing your trip into multiple segments between stations where the service stops along the route. Websites like Split My Fare and Split Train Tickets can do the maths for you, simplifying the process. On average, Split My Fare claims that customers save 26% by employing this tactic, though it may not be feasible for all journeys. Additionally, it’s worth checking whether it is more economical to purchase two single tickets rather than a round-trip ticket.
Railcards can yield discounts when booking tickets, although they require an initial purchase fee. They are most beneficial for frequent travellers. Various types of railcards are available, including national, regional, student, and senior cards. For instance, the regional Cotswold Line Railcard, priced at £9.95, is valid for a year and grants a 34% discount on off-peak single and return tickets. Detailed information about the various railcard options can be found here.
Travel as a Group
Travelling in groups of three to nine adults can result in savings of up to a third on ticket prices. It’s important to note that the group must travel together, and individual rail cards cannot be used when booking group tickets. Discounts are also available for groups exceeding 10 people; direct contact with the train company is necessary for these arrangements. Group off-peak day travel cards are also an option for London, provided the origin station on the ticket falls within fare zones one to nine.
Explore Flexible Commuting
National flexible rail tickets have the potential to save passengers a significant sum, according to the watchdog organisation Transport Focus. These flexible season tickets allow travel on any eight days within a 28-day period, eliminating the need to select travel days in advance. Train companies have introduced a range of flexible ticket options tailored to the changing travel patterns of post-pandemic commuters and workers. The Flexi Season ticket, for instance, offers a minimum of 20% off the cost of an equivalent monthly season ticket, as stated by National Rail. For those who regularly make the same journey multiple times a week, monthly or season tickets may prove to be the more cost-effective choice. Inquire with your employer about the possibility of a season ticket loan, which can help spread the cost without incurring interest charges. | travel |

One of the most iconic views of Mt. Rainier in the park can be found at Reflection Lakes. Summer and fall, sunrise and sunset, it is perhaps the single most photographed view. In summer, the lakes are bordered with wildflowers and come autumn, they are a mirror of fall color. Many consider this area to be the park at its best — colorful blooms, enchanting animal life, and scenic, awe-inspiring beauty of mountain peaks and alpine lakes. | travel |

Well, actually, Colin and I spent the morning in our beautiful hotel room finishing up his online Spanish course, since Monday was the deadline. The rest of the kids got more than enough sunshine, and were thoroughly cooked by the end of the day. So how do South Carolina beaches measure up? Well, let's just say we're glad Grandma and Grandpa still live in San Diego!
We finished off our evening with a friendly game of putt putt golf (as opposed to miniature golf, which is what we call it out west). Apparently, Myrtle Beach is the putt putt golf capital of the world, and they have courses on every other corner. (The other corners have giant hotels and gargantuan t-shirt and souvenir shops.) The golf courses are unique in that they take up a smaller footprint than the courses we're used to playing. By the time we finished, we were three stories up! | travel |

This is the last update from Team East Asia. We have been back for 3 weeks now, almost as long as we were gone. We have all been processing our trip well and we have adjusted back to our life in Canada.
We really enjoyed our time in East Asia and were very sad to leave. It was emotional having to say goodbye to our new friends. We are very thankful for technology to keep in contact with the people we grew close to on our trip. We felt so cared for while we were there.
Although leaving was hard, it shows the depth of the friendships we were able to create, of which we are very thankful for. The friendly atmosphere of the coffee shop and the staff which God is so evidently working through is not something we will soon forget.
We all hope to visit again someday. We have learned a lot about short and long-term trips and look forward to opportunities God may provide for us in the future.
We want to say thank you to everyone who prayed for our trip. It was very encouraging to know that we had so many people back home praying for us and the people we would meet. We urge you to continue praying for East Asia as the area where we were placed desperately needs people working in and with the local people.
Our specific prayer requests:
- That God would provide long-term staff for the coffee shop
- That believers would find favour with the government
- That God would continue to work in the hearts of the people we were in contact with
- That we will continue to process our experience well and discern where God is calling us in the future
Signing out for the last time,
Team East Asia | travel |

Lakes are always just a quick drive away. Hiking, biking, cross country skiing, fishing and canoeing- you name it, we’ve got it. Plus we have the Packers, good food, great beer and even better people. You can tell I’m a Wisconsinite through and through. I’ve been exploring and “Travel[ing] Wisconsin,” as our state tourism slogan boasts, for all of my 23 years.
I grew up camping with my family who decided a cabin was never quite the right fit because that would be too much commitment to one place. There are too many lakes to swim, rivers to fish, and trees to climb. Our cabin was a mobile rig that included a boat, a few tents and some air mattresses in the back of a truck. Sometimes we would get a little luxurious and take bikes and a kayak with too. This idea has fundamentally shaped how I view the world- so many places, so little time. We’ve made our way around exploring not only Wisconsin but national parks and outdoor havens across the U.S. and Canada.
I studied abroad in college, taking trips every weekend and exploring as much as I could of Liverpool and the surrounding countryside. Once I hopped back across the pond, life seemed a little less exciting. Transitioning from having everything be new and exciting to returning back to the same college town was a little rough. I felt like a piece of me was missing. I wanted the excitement of discovering the best hot chocolate in town or hiking a hill to find an expansive view of a lake far below while the rolling Welsh hills surrounded me. (Pictured above- Connwy, Wales)
In order to fulfill this missing piece, I intentionally started taking microadventures. Microadventures are short adventures that are cheap and close to home yet still fun. I strive to check out new places often. Whether a it’s new restaurant that I’ve lived around the corner from for a solid six months, a new trail during one of my frequent visits to Lapham Peak State Forest, or an adventure across the country, I make an effort to keep exploring and pushing myself to never be comfortable. Some people strive for comfort, I strive for change.
So that’s what I’ve decided to write about in this blog. I will catalogue my microadventures and tell you all about the best beer I’ve had in Milwaukee or an adventure that happened while I backpacked in Ecuador. Or it might be a simple change of perspective on a normal day. I hope to inspire you to take a quick microadventure.

A must have for any traveller!
- Local Taxis: location-aware list of taxi companies in over 2800 cities in Europe, US and Canada.
- Points of Interest: comprehensive global database of destinations for your taxi ride, such as hotels, restaurants, airports etc.
- Favorites: save your favorite taxi companies and locations, and get an overview of your previous calls and orders .
- Direct Order: order a local taxi without a phone call, no need to talk in different languages.
Imagine being on a business trip in a foreign city. After a long day of meetings or being at a conference, you step outside and want to head back to the hotel or rush to the airport… But, there are no taxis in sight. What do you do? At home it would be easy – you probably have your favourite taxi company’s number stored in your phone.
Fortunately you have the TaxiPal mobile application installed on your mobile phone. TaxiPal connects you with trusted taxi companies anywhere in the world, providing you information on local taxi companies, their tariffs and user ratings. You can also submit an order without having to make a phone call – with a few simple taps on the phone screen your taxi will be on its way to pick you up. Furthermore, with TaxiPal’s direct ordering feature you could have silently pre-ordered the taxi already during your meeting or conference, so that your taxi would be waiting for you the moment you step out.
Local taxi companies at your service
Getting a taxi might seem like a trivial task, especially when you are in your home city. You probably have your favourite taxi company's phone number stored in your phone. But what if you are travelling and need a taxi in another city? What number do you call?
TaxiPal automatically determines your location using various positioning methods and gives you information on the companies servicing your area. Regardless of whether you are travelling or need a taxi in your home city, you no longer need to have taxi companies' phone numbers stored on your phone nor will you need to ask locals for help.
Be informed, know before you buy
Sometimes you also have to deal with unlicensed, illegal taxis or just plain dishonest taxi drivers and you end up paying much more than you should for the trip – your taxi trip late at night is a 30 minute drive only to find out the next day that the place was just around the corner.
With TaxiPal you can look up the tariffs and fares before you get in a taxi and TaxiPal will even calculate the optimal distance to your destination, because we at TaxiPal want you to always get the best deal and only pay for the service provided.
Use it in your own language anywhere
We believe that mobile technologies have a great potential in helping people cross language barriers.
TaxiPal is the first multi-lingual taxi ordering and brokering service that helps you in your own language. It even converts the local taxi tariffs to a convenient currency for you in order to make taxi ordering easier for you.
During 2010 the TaxiPal service will be rolling out in all of Europe, US and Canada, allowing you to order your taxi conveniently on your mobile no matter where you are. We already cover 31 countries with our Directory service – Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Lichtenstein, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA – and we work hard to improve and expand the coverage.
Local businesses and attractions
TaxiPal includes an extensive database of local businesses, tourist attractions and other Points of Interest (POI).
For example, you can look for an interesting restaurant or museum in the city you are visiting and TaxiPal will organize your ride there. You can search for a POI by it’s name, it’s type (a restaurant, a conference centre, etc) and it’s location – near your current location or any other place. | travel |

This past week was jammed pack with activities. Our group explored Serbia’s past by visiting the Mesolithic settlement at Lepenski Vir, Roman ruins at Viminacium, ethno village of Sirogojna, Skull Tower (the Ottoman Empire’s attempt to prevent further Serbian revolts), and Memorial Park.

Looking ahead to this year's holidays? Why not take a real break away from it all, and head west to Wilkes Farm.
Just 5 miles from the historic city of Bath and set in the picturesque village of Doynton, South Gloucestershire, the farmhouse dates back to the 17th century. It is within an area of outstanding natural beauty and is surrounded by open farmland.
You can choose from their cosy bed and breakfast accommodation in the main farmhouse, or alternatively stay in one of their beautiful cottages.
Self Catering Accommodation
The three cottages have been tastefully converted from the original, listed, stone-built stables. They are adjacent to the farmhouse and overlook the wooden stables at the rear, and a private courtyard at the front.
Exposed beams add to the character of the cottages, and each is comfortably and tastefully furnished.
The kitchens are well-equipped with a refrigerator, a microwave, an oven, and dishwasher. A coin-operated laundry with washing machine and tumble drier, is available in the main farmhouse.
Oil fired central heating and hot water heating are installed in all of the cottages. And when the weather is fine you can take advantage of the garden furniture, which is provided outside the front door of each of the cottages.
All of the cottages can sleep two to four people, and an extra single bed can be made up as required. A travel cot and high chair are also available.
Bed and Breakfast Accommodation
The bed and breakfast accommodation with the main farmhouse is equally charming.
The rooms are all spacious and each one has a wash basin, colour television, tea and coffee making facilities and an electric room heater to supplement the central heating. There is a bathroom and separate shower room solely for the guests' use.
The dining room, where the traditional farmhouse breakfasts are served, has an original flagstone floor and open log fireplace. On the landing, there is a small, slate bedded snooker table.
Local Activities and Attractions
Wilkes Farm is ideally situated for both sightseers and shoppers. It is 10 minutes from the city of Bath, and 20 minutes from Bristol.
For those seeking an activity holiday, riding lessons can be arranged nearby, a clay pigeon shoot is held on the last Sunday of each month (extra charge) and a trout stream, the River Boyd, runs through the fields.
The Cross House pub and the local amenities of Doynton are just a five minute walk down the lane from the farm.
There really is something for everyone, and you will be certain of a friendly welcome from the owners Keitha and Peter Dinham. | travel |

Airport transportation plays a pivotal role in setting the tone for your journey. To ensure seamless airport transfers and ground transportation, consider these tips and tricks that will help you navigate the process with ease.
Plan Ahead for a Stress-Free Start
The key to a smooth airport transfer begins with careful planning. Research the available airport transportation options in advance and choose a service that aligns with your preferences and schedule. Whether it’s a shuttle, rideshare, or private car service, having a plan in place ensures a stress-free start to your travel adventure.
Know Your Route and Alternatives
Familiarize yourself with the route from your location to the airport, and be aware of any potential traffic or construction delays. Additionally, explore alternative routes in case unexpected roadblocks occur. Being prepared for various scenarios will help you stay calm and collected during your airport transfer.
Optimize for Convenience and Comfort
When choosing your mode of transportation, prioritize convenience and comfort. Consider factors like luggage space, vehicle size, and any additional services offered by the transportation provider. Whether you prefer the cost-effectiveness of a shared shuttle or the privacy of a private car, selecting a service that aligns with your needs enhances the overall travel experience.
Utilize Technology for Efficiency
Take advantage of technology to streamline your airport transfer process. Many transportation services offer mobile apps for booking and tracking your ride in real-time. Utilizing these tools can enhance efficiency, providing you with timely updates and ensuring a smooth transition from your location to the airport.
Be Time-Conscious and Flexible
Punctuality is paramount when it comes to airport transfers. Ensure you allocate enough time for potential delays and security checks. Being time-conscious and allowing for flexibility in your schedule contributes to a stress-free airport transportation experience.
A smooth takeoff extends beyond the runway, encompassing every step of your journey, especially the initial transfer to the airport. By planning ahead, knowing your route, optimizing for convenience, utilizing technology, and being time-conscious, you can ensure a seamless airport transportation experience. With these tips in mind, your journey will kick off on the right foot, setting the stage for a stress-free and enjoyable travel adventure. Safe travels! | travel |

Food and drink will be available from 5pm and the funfair will open from 4pm.
Whilst there are no admission charges to this fantastic event, there are a number of costs involved in welcoming visitors from all over London and beyond. Show your support and keep the fireworks a highlight in south east London.
Remember to be respectful to local residents whilst at the event
Travel to and from Blackheath on the night
The best way to get to Blackheath is by public transport. (I actually walk from Lewisham)
Transport for London (TfL) will provide the latest and most up to date information.
The map shows the nearest rail stations. Bus routes to Blackheath include 53, 54, 386, 380, 202, 108 and 89.
A number of roads are closed during the display and parking is extremely difficult. Details of the road closures and timings are in the document below.
Do not take your dog to Blackheath during the fireworks. It is very noisy and the general advice is to keep all pets indoors at this time of year.
It is illegal to take any fireworks – including sparklers and sky lanterns – onto the heath. | travel |

displayed on the Seaside Museum, 570 Necanicum Drive, Seaside, Oregon.
Once upon a time, many years ago, the only way to get to Seaside Oregon was by boat from Portland to Skipanon (now Warrenton). Following the boat trip there was a long ride by carriage, or wagon, to Seaside. Then a railroad line was constructed and the boats would unload passengers on a pier at Skipanon. A train would be waiting there to take them to the little resort town.
To escape Portland's summer heat families would make the boat and railroad journey to Seaside and spend their summer in the beautiful little town. Daddy would then make the trip back to Portland, spend the week at his job, returning on weekends to visit the family. Every weekend the families would gather at the railroad station to greet daddy, then see him off on his trip back to Portland. It wasn't long before the train carrying daddy became known as the "Daddy Train".
Times changed and roads to Portland were constructed. Automobiles could make the trip, the railroad line shut down and the "Daddy Train" was no more. To help the community experience their colorful past the Seaside Museum & Historical Society commissioned the painting of the Daddy Train Mural which is mounted on the front of the Museum.
Grants for the Daddy Train Mural were received from the Northwest Oregon Economic Alliance and from the John and Jane Youell Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation. Museum members and friends of the Museum also supported this project with their donations. | travel |

INSIDE: Learn about Great Wolf Lodge’s new Day Passes—what they cost, when to go, what to expect, what to bring, what to do, and why we loved them.
Have you heard? Great Wolf Lodge now offers long-anticipated Day Passes. to select parks, including their LaGrange location (right down the road from us.) Great Wolf Lodge generously provided day passes to our families so that we could check it out, and we’ve gathered all our best tips and takeaways in this post.*Note: this post contains affiliate links. Great Wolf Lodge provided day passes to us free of charge, but all opinions herein are our own!
WHY WE LOVED IT:
We live 30 minutes away. Sometimes, spending the night doesn’t make sense. The Day Pass was an offering we’d been waiting for.
It’s much more than just a water park – it has an incredible arcade, a ropes course, several restaurants, and tons of family-friendly activities (everything from yoga to panning for gold!)
It’s little kid AND big kid friendly. Our toddlers were just as entertained as our ten-year-olds, and the water park has designated areas for kids of all ages.
t’s food allergy friendly. Our kids with dairy and soy allergies had no problems finding several options to eat, with the help of a very friendly and accommodating chef who took our needs seriously.
It has adaptive offerings. The lazy river has a special lift for patrons who use wheelchairs, the wave pool is zero-entry, and much of the splash pad area is also accessible.
It’s perfect for a special occasion. Three of our kiddos had upcoming birthdays, so we took the opportunity to celebrate by bringing a birthday cake (which the staff happily offered to store for us) – the birthday crew even got special wolf ears!
The restrooms are clean and there are plenty of them. Parents – you know what a big deal this is!
The lifeguards are vigilant. No one was playing on their phone or goofing off. Each guard that we saw had their eyes on the water constantly, and lifeguards are frequently recycled so that they get the breaks that they need.
WHEN TO GO:
Weekdays (non-holiday) are your best bet for booking, in that tickets are less expensive and parks are less crowded. If weekends are a better fit for your family, we recommend going on a Sunday, as more families are checking out and leaving from their weekend stay.
We recommend arriving as early as possible (a few minutes before the park opens) to maximize your value.
$65 per person per day pass (Weekdays)
$85 per person per day pass (Weekends)
Children under age 2 are free.
BEFORE YOU BOOK:
Check for seasonal specials and deals, including military and first responder discounts.
WHEN YOU GET THERE:
We’d recommend doing any dry activities first, so that you’re not fighting with wet swimsuits and towels. BUT, we chose to go ahead and secure a table and chairs at the waterpark as soon as we arrived, which was a wise choice. It served as our central meeting area throughout the day.
WHAT TO DO:
ARCADE – This was our first stop. Plenty of options for kids of all ages (and adults!)
MAGIQUEST – Our 7 and 8-year-old boys (and 35-year-old husband) were obsessed with this interactive game that uses wands and clues to help solve puzzles at activity points.
ROPES COURSE – We didn’t do this one, but it looked awesome.
MINE FOR “GOLD” – Perfect for little kids.
WATER PARK – The main event!
WHAT TO BRING:
Wagon – to haul everything on this list
Towels – though they’re provided for overnight guests, they aren’t included for Day Pass patrons
Tennis Shoes for ropes course and rock wall
Waterproof phone case or pouch
Toiletries for after park shower
Extra change of dry clothes
Sunscreen for outside pool areas
Life vest if your child prefers their own
Snacks and reusable water bottles– you can of course buy these at the park, but we opted to bring our own
WHAT TO EXPECT (at the water park):
The park itself is almost entirely indoors and kept at a balmy 84 degrees. We chose to stay inside the whole time so that we didn’t have to fight our kids to put on sunscreen, which is a GIGANTIC perk in our eyes.
Upon entering the park, your child will be measured and given a corresponding color wrist band based on their height. These wristbands let lifeguards and water slide operators know which attractions and water slides the child is allowed to ride.
Green- Access to all water slides - 48 inches or taller
Yellow- Access to most water slides - 42 - 47 inches
Red- Access to limited water slides, must be accompanied by an adult at all times - under 42 inches
*Life jackets are strongly recommended for little ones, but not required. The resort provides them free of charge, but if you have your own, you may prefer to bring it to ensure a snug fit.
You’ll find that there are plenty of options for kids with red bands – including 6 water slides, a giant splash pad, an impressive water playground, and lazy river.
For kids with green wristbands, the water park is their oyster. We were amazed at how much energy our kids had and how the phrase, “I’m bored!” never once crossed their lips.
For parents, daiquiris and margaritas are available, and there are plenty of chairs right next to the preschool areas so that you can enjoy yourself while keeping a direct sight line on your child.
WHAT TO EAT:
Within the water park itself, there were two restaurant options: a barbecue spot (try the BBQ nachos!) and one with more traditional park food (burgers, hotdogs, fries, etc.) Though it was a bit pricey, it was delicious and the portions were generous.
As mentioned above, several of our kiddos have food allergies. We’d heard that GWL was one of the most accommodating resorts for food allergies, and we weren’t let down. We let the staff know about our needs, and a chef quickly came out to discuss our options and even prepare a few special items for us.
One of us is a vegetarian, and one of the first things we noticed was that there weren’t any “filling” entrees on either menu (a few salads and some mac n’ cheese). However, we asked about a veggie burger, and to our surprise, they had one! It did take 30 minutes to prepare, but it was pretty darn good.
All combo meals come with a drink, but refills weren’t included. Pro-tip: they have sensors on the bottoms of the cups to alert the machine if you try to refill them. You can get a $10 souvenir cup that includes refills for the duration of your stay, but that also has a sensor that only lets you get refills every 8 minutes to deter families from buying one cup and sharing. I can’t imagine who would try that (we would), but it won’t work here.
So, there you have it! Our guide to day passes at Great Wolf Lodge. So— when will you visit!? | travel |

On this tour you ride along an old trade route that dates back to the times of ancient roman emperors. Today it makes up an important trail of great cultural heritage known as Via De La Plata, the Silver Route. Discover the roads into the heart of Spain, full of historic cities, hospitable people and delicious cuisine.
Once a link between the Atlantic coast and the lands of southern Spain, for many centuries The Silver Route was a main communications route from North to South. Originally it served the spread of Roman culture, later, during the Middle Ages, it was used by Arabs and Christians alike. Fascinating cities and palaces built by the Goths, the Romans and not least the Arabs are witnesses to the remarkable past of this primeval region of Spain.
Riding through this magnificent scenery, our route takes us via Ronda to Seville, the capital city of Andalusia. From here we explore the Extremadura region, one of the last miracles of nature in Europe. Besides the fantastic roads winding their way through this impressive and extremely varied landscape, we visit towns immeresed in history and experience amazing wildlife.
The tour offers complete motorcycling pleasure on small quiet roads through stunningly beautiful scenery. The roads throughout the entire route are asphalted. The comfort of a top noch 4* hotel (Paradores, Castles and Convents) awaits you after a day's riding.

Course of events
Day 1: Arrival in Málaga
Arrival at Málaga airport and transfer to the Hotel. Introductions over dinner with Spanish wine while giving us an opportunity to discuss our tour.
Day 2: Malaga – Zafra
On our first driving day we pass through wild mountainous scenery and the gorges of the Sierra Margarita and the natural wonder of El Torcal, famous for its unusual and unique limestone formations.
We continue following the road to Antequera, one of the most beautiful white villages in Andalusia and pass through Morón de la Frontera. Our route takes us through the Sierra Morena nature reserve. In this diverse mountainous and hilly landscape endless fascinating roads wind through oak forests and pastures, past millions of flowers and magical lakes. Long-sweeping bends and smooth asphalt makes our hearts beat just that little bit faster.
Day 3: Zafra – Sierra Morena – Trujillo
Today we reach Extremadura, a region of Spain where history was written. America‘s conquerors came from Extremadura. Hernán Cortez and Francisco Pizarro brought Inca and Maya gold back to their homeland Spain, thus financing the construction of splendid palaces and impressive churches.
Our tour leads us to a town steeped in history; Trujillo. Trujillo, the birthplace of the famous conqueror Pizarro, is mainly renowned for its beautiful main square, the medieval fort and city walls with seven gates.
Day 4: Trujillo – Cáceres - Plasencia
From Trujillo we go on the town of Cáceres. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and considered by many to be Spain‘s most beautiful city. Indeed, the flair of this city is unique as Cáceres offers an extremely well preserved old town with numerous palaces from the 14th century.
Cáceres is definitely a city we could spend more time in, however, there are still many more fascinating things waiting to be discovered on our tour such as the Parque Natural de Monfragüe.The Monfragüe reserve, protected since 1979, boasts the largest and most representative Mediterranean forests. Impressive breeding colonies of griffon vultures can be seen on the rocky cliffs while the park is also home to peregrine falcons, hawk-eagles and eagle owls.
Day 5: Plasencia - Guadalupe
From our hotel in Plasencia we ride towards the Sierra de Gredos. Here we will find beautiful small mountain roads with impressive views. Continuing our way down to Guadalupe we stop for a moment to visit some old Romans ruins.
In the evening we will spend the night in Guadalupe, which is particularly famous for its „Black Madonna“, the patron saint of all Spanish-speaking countries.
Day 6: Guadalupe – Cordoba
On our way to Córdoba we pass through an area of particularly stunning scenery and crystal-clear lakes. Each of these once man-made lakes captivates through its own unique character. Nevertheless, many magnificent stretches of road and the fascinating Andalusian city of Córdoba still await us. In the 11th century, Córdoba was one of the largest capital cities in Europe and today its cultural heritage epitomizes Andalusia.Córdoba boasts the world-famous Mezquita that originates from the 8th century and, covering an area of 23,000 square metres, it is the third largest mosque in the world.
Day 7: Cordoba – Malaga
We leave Córdoba and head in the direction of Granada, the home of the incomparable Alhambra, the only Moorish palace complex to be preserved in its entirety. We then cross the Sierra Nevada over a stunning mountain pass.
From here the endless winding roads and unique landscape of the Alpujarras await us. Away from the traffic with the Mediterranean Sea in sight we start our descent along the steep winding roads to our starting point of the tour.
Over a farewell dinner we look back at some of the fantastic impressions of the past week.
Day 8: Return journey
Note: We reserve the right to make minor changes to the tour.

Fair Oaks Farms is located in Fair Oaks, Ind., and has been doing farm tours of its dairies since 2004. The original land was purchased in the late 1990s and the farm has since grown into a 27,000-acre farm encompassing 11 dairies with 32,000 cows.
Just this past year a pork operation was added that also host tours. The Pig Adventure houses 2,700 sows that can be seen from the second floor via many different glass viewing areas. In all, the farm is expected to produce between 80,000 and 90,000 piglets per year.
Getting that live view of animals and being able to do an array of other activities has attracted a lot of visitors over the years, says Jamie Mitchell the Adventure Center manager at Fair Oaks Farms.
"Annually for all of our facilities including our café, our adventures, we see about 400,000 visitors each year," relates Mitchell. "The heart of the experience includes two bus tours, one going out to our working dairy farm and another going out to our Pig Adventure."
Visitors can view cows and sows giving birth at both facilities, while also having the chance to ask questions about animal agriculture practices.
"It's absolutely incredible, people leave here with big smiles, and jaws open like they can't believe what they just saw," says Mitchell.
She adds that many school tours come to the farm from urban areas where students may have never seen a live farm animal.
"It's really a great place to work, to show people where there food comes from," concludes Mitchell. | travel |

Madikwe is South Africa's fourth largest game reserve at 75 000 hectares. This magnificent malaria free area offers you the opportunity to experience the magic of the Big Five and a true safari adventure. Situated in the North West Province bordering Botswana, Madikwe is just a 3½ hour drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria, 1½ hours from Sun City and an easy hour from Gaborone.
Managed by the North West Parks and Tourism Board and together with the private sector (lodge owners) and the local people, Madikwe is operated as a joint venture to stimulate ecologically sustainable economic activity based on wildlife, for the benefit of the people of the region.
This community involvement thinking was something of breakthrough in the early 1990's when Madikwe was formed, and has served as a template for other game reserves to work from. It has also ensured a healthily inflated local employment rate in Madikwe.
The Madikwe area is steeped in history and tradition. Historically, this is Herman Charles Bosman's land – you can easily visualize his Oom Schalk Lourens sitting under a Karee boom, contemplating the finer points of life or recovering from the alcoholic delights of its berries. The famous Mafikeng Road runs straight through the Reserve – explorers, traders, hunters, missionaries and, of course, Mzilikazi passed this way during the making of South African history.
Today Madikwe is regarded as one of the finest conservation areas in Africa and has taken its place as South Africa's top wildlife and game viewing destination.
"I have seen the moon in other places besides the Marico.
But it is not the same there. It does strange things to you,
the Marico moon, and in your heart are wild and fragrant fancies,
and your thoughts go very far away."

Situated along a mile of beachfront about 3 miles south of the Myrtle Beach city limits, Ocean Lakes is located at the intersection of Highway 17 Business and Highway 544. The 310-acre property offers a total of 859 campsites, 2,572 annual lease sites and 300 rental properties. Many campsites offer 45-foot concrete pads, and the resort can accommodate rigs up to 70-feet long. It is the largest campground on the east coast and one of the largest in the U.S. Ocean Lakes relies on their 500-plus employees, or teammates, as they call them, to provide each guest with the ultimate oceanfront vacation experience.
A big part of the Ocean Breeze experience revolves around golf carts. Barb Krumm, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, has worked at the campground for decades, and said the golf cart is a big part of the culture there. “This year, we expect we’ll have 1,060 golf cars in our rental fleet,” she stated. “For those that live in our 2,573 annual lease units, almost one hundred percent own at least one golf cart, and many have two.” That equates to about 4,000 to 5,000 carts on the grounds when you include visitors who bring their own carts for vacation.
Beginning in 1971, the creators of the property, Nelson and Mary Emily Jackson and their 5 daughters, knew they had a lot of options for utilizing this idyllic oceanfront property, but were determined to ensure that this little slice of heaven on earth be accessible to as many people as possible. “Everyone should have the privilege of enjoying God’s beautiful ocean”, Mr. Jackson said during an interview when he was 88-years old. Ocean Lakes is owned and operated by The Jackson Companies, located in Myrtle Beach, a family-owned enterprise that includes Prestwick Golf & Country Club, Ocean Lakes Properties, Crystal Lake Mobile Home Village, Ocean Lakes RV Center, Ocean Lakes Golf Cars and the master-planned residential development Sayebrook. The Jackson Companies also own several hundred acres of undeveloped land in the Myrtle Beach area. Several divisions of The Jackson Companies have been recognized nationally in both the golf and camping industries.
Ocean Lakes is a truly cart-centric property offering campsites and camping accommodations, along with beachside vacation home rentals, directly along the white sand beaches of the Atlantic. Visitors can register their own privately-owned carts when they check in or rent one of the resort’s carts to get around during their stay. Ocean Lakes even has their own full-service golf cart sales facility. Private cart owners need to show proof of a minimum $50,000 liability insurance coverage.
With such an expansive property encompassing the dozens of outdoor amenities found at Ocean Lakes, the golf cart is clearly the best way to get around while vacationing with family and friends. The resort offers rentals of golf carts by visitors, plus performs service work on privately-owned carts and sells a wide array of new and reconditioned carts through their Ocean Lakes Golf Cars business.
The resort features Club Car vehicles – they are an Authorized Dealer – and sells parts and accessories for every major brand. In 2017, Ocean Lakes Golf Cars earned the coveted Black & Gold Elite status from Club Car for its exemplary achievements in providing sales and service excellence to their Grand Strand customers. Their team can even build a completely custom cart for those who want to personalize their ride to their unique specifications, like the beauty they built for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the area’s minor league baseball team.
Ocean Lakes offers rental carts that carry 2 or 4 passengers, and a limited number of 6-passenger carts. Their website lists rental prices beginning at $65.00 per day in the resort’s peak summer months and as low as $22.00 per day in the winter off-season, with lower rates for multi-day rentals. Drivers must be at least 16-years old, and the facility has rules in place meant to protect the enjoyment and safety of all guests. The resort also has a 40,000 square foot, secured and paved cart storage facility with designated spaces for each cart for Ocean Lakes guests who own their own carts.
Ocean Lakes is well known in the Myrtle Beach area for the special events and celebrations they organize annually. Parades, parties, concerts, and other special events create the perfect opportunity to hop in your golf cart and join in the fun. Some of the campground’s most notable events include their Annual Golf Cart Parade, Bluegrass Weekend, Beach n’ Boogie Weekend, 4th of July Cart Parade, Christmas at Thanksgiving, Halloween Party and Coastal Clean-Up Day, among others.
Krumm goes on to say that the 4th of July Parade is one of the oldest and most popular of the campground’s events, where several hundred cart owners and guests dress up their carts for the holiday and parade the property to celebrate our country’s freedoms. “Mr. Jackson started that tradition, leading the parade in a fire truck. Even though he is no longer with us, we still use the fire truck and will always honor Mr. Jackson’s favorite Ocean Lakes activity.”
And with so many carts within the sprawling community, just about every night is right for a beachfront cart cruise, with many residents and guests taking to their buggies to cruise Seaside Drive and greet their neighbors. “The guests use their carts like they were cruising main street on a Saturday night in the early days, using the chance to enjoy the night air and say hi to everyone,” said Krumm.
Krumm noted that one of the key benefits of having so many golf carts at the resort is the “fun factor.” “I can look out my office window and suddenly see inflatable figures mounted on top of a cart breeze by on their way to the beach or pool,” she says. “Residents and guests here are very creative when it comes to adding their personal bling to their carts, with inflatable characters and balloons like starfish, dolphins, gators, beach balls and more – it also helps them find their cart when they’re leaving one of our community events or one of our pools or other facilities.”
Ocean Lakes Family Campground is an impressive destination, where depending on the season, the oceanfront setting is enjoyed by 20,000 or more residents and visitors. The important role of golf carts to those living there and by the resort itself is a key reason for their continued success. | travel |

In this digital age, Google Maps has revolutionized the way we navigate through unfamiliar streets and neighborhoods. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone who's just getting their bearings in a new place, Google Maps is an indispensable tool that offers a host of features to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable. This guide will walk you through the steps and tips to effectively use Google Maps to explore new cities like a pro.
Setting Up Your Digital Compass
Before you begin your urban adventure, it's crucial to set up Google Maps for optimal use. First, ensure that the app is updated to the latest version on your smartphone. An updated app means you’ll have access to the newest features and the most accurate information. Once updated, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the app’s interface. The main screen of Google Maps offers a search bar at the top, various viewing options such as default, satellite, and terrain modes, and a location button that, when pressed, centers the map on your current position.
In this digital setup phase, also consider downloading offline maps of the city you are visiting. This feature is a lifesaver when you encounter areas with poor internet connectivity or want to conserve mobile data. To do so, simply search for the city, tap on the place name at the bottom of the screen, and then select "Download" on the resulting menu. Choose the area you want to save and hit "Download" again. Now, you have a reliable map at your fingertips, even when you're offline.
Understanding Google Maps Features
Google Maps is more than a simple navigation tool; it's a comprehensive travel companion. To leverage its full potential, get to know the various features it offers. For instance, the 'Explore' tab provides suggestions for restaurants, attractions, and events in the area, tailored to your preferences and time of day. Use this to discover local hotspots and hidden gems. The 'Commute' feature, on the other hand, gives you real-time traffic updates and suggests the best routes to avoid congestion.
Another powerful feature is the integration of public transit information. Google Maps can show you bus and train schedules, the location of stops, and how long your journey will take. Simply enter your destination, tap on 'Directions', and then choose the public transit icon. It will display various options, including the estimated duration and the number of transfers. This feature can be particularly helpful when you're dealing with complex transit systems in big cities.
Maximizing Your Sightseeing Experience
To fully enjoy the sights and sounds of a new city, Google Maps offers several tools to enhance your sightseeing experience. Use the 'Save' feature to bookmark places of interest before you even step out of your hotel. You can create a personalized list of must-visit spots and even share it with your travel companions. This way, you can plan your day efficiently, ensuring you hit all the highlights without backtracking or getting lost.
Google Maps also offers street view and photo spheres, which allow you to take a virtual walk through city streets and view panoramic images of locations. Before visiting an attraction, use this feature to get a sense of the area and familiarize yourself with its surroundings. It's also a great way to spot landmarks that will help you navigate once you're on the ground.
Staying Safe and Informed
While exploring a new city is exciting, staying safe should always be a priority. Google Maps can assist with this by providing important location-based information. For example, the app can show you the safest routes to walk at night or alert you to any ongoing road hazards or incidents. Take advantage of the 'Location Sharing' feature, which allows you to share your real-time whereabouts with a trusted friend or family member.
In addition, Google Maps can help you to locate essential services such as hospitals, police stations, and pharmacies. In an emergency, being able to quickly find the nearest facility can be crucial. Simply search for the service you need, and Google Maps will display the closest options along with directions and contact information.
Mastering Google Maps is akin to having a personal tour guide in your pocket. By understanding and utilizing its many features, you can confidently navigate new cities with ease. From planning your sightseeing itinerary to staying safe on the go, Google Maps is an invaluable resource for any urban explorer. Embrace the technology at your fingertips, and you'll find that the world is more accessible than ever. Happy travels, and may your digital compass always lead you to extraordinary discoveries. | travel |

It is well-known for its trekking and hiking trails. Adventure-seeking travelers throng Kufri in winters to enjoy skiing and tobogganing beside its snow-covered slopes. The Skiing season spreads between November to February and the tourist inflow is at its peak throughout winters.
Kufri is a little hill station situated 19-kms from Shimla on the National Highway No.22. It has a Himalayan Nature park and close by is the Indira Tourist Park with HPTDC's Cafe Lalit. Indira Park offers some huge views of the nearby places. Here one can enjoy a Pony or a Yak Ride.
The region around Shimla as well as Kufri was once a part of the Kingdom of Nepal. This area remained obscure from the rest of the world until the British 'exposed' it in 1819. The British made Shimla their summer capital in 1864 and it remained so until 1939. As Shimla gained importance, Kufri also began to be recognized as an chief place to visit near Shimla. | travel |

The Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel completed the building of its new hotel wing, The Ushuaïa Tower, in May 2013. With views of the Mediterranean sea and Playa d’en Bossa beach, the eight story hotel offers 181 rooms with state of the art technology and luxury features, as well as two restaurants and conference facilities for up to 200 people.
As part of the build, global fire detection manufacturer, Apollo Fire Detectors, was selected as the technology provider by Pitiusas de Seguridad, the company appointed to supply and commission the fire system for the new hotel wing.
In total, nearly 650 Apollo XP95 detectors were specified to meet the main fire detection requirements in the Ushuaïa Tower. The intelligent system was designed around two networked four-loop Kentec Syncro fire panels approved and certified to EN54 parts 2 and 4.
In addition to luxury accommodation, the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel complex is also famous for hosting open-air parties, attracting up to 5,000 people a night who flock to see the biggest DJs in the world, as well as a host of celebrity and VIP guests.
Due to the vibrant nature of the hotel, a large number of guests and visitors are present both inside and outside of the premises at any given time. This, coupled with the fact that very loud music is a feature of the Ushuaïa experience, led the Apollo design team to recommend a wide variety of interior and exterior fire sounders and visual indicators, including multi-tone alerts.
Jose Cazorla, general manager at Pitiusas de Seguridad, commented, “Apollo’s XP95 range had already proven to be a high quality, safe and reliable fire detection system at the original Ushuaïa Beach Hotel, so we had no hesitation in recommending it for the new The Ushuaïa Tower.
“The two wings of the hotel are now fully networked with a fire detection system that has been specifically designed to cope with the demands of a busy hotel, which has a large turnover of guests on a regular basis. We’re confident that Apollo’s fire detection solutions will protect the Ushuaïa Tower and its guests for many years to come.”
Matt Pay, international sales development manager at Apollo Fire Detectors, added, “It’s great to see our innovative technologies applied abroad in such an exciting and vibrant location. We worked closely with one of our key distributors, Activi Seguridad y Sistemas, to ensure they recommended the best fire detection solutions for the hotel’s specific requirements. It was also great to have the opportunity to build on the previous success of Apollo’s XP95 range at the Ushuaïa hotel complex.” | travel |
