By Gianna McGraw


Travel can be a very rewarding experience, as you can learn about other cultures and lifestyles as well as visit historical sites. There are several things to do when you travel and ways to make sure that you save money at hotels or for plane tickets. Read this article for more tips on travel.

Tucking in a favorite toy or two always helps ease the boredom and helps keep them quite when you really don't want them disturbing the occupants in the next room.

Be aware of departure taxes. Some countries have departure taxes. You will not be permitted to board your plane until you have paid them. Often a check or credit card is not permitted as payment on these taxes. Make sure you have enough cash set aside to cover them.

Before you travel internationally, learn where your country's embassies and consulates are in your destination country. These are not resources for the casual traveler. Hopefully you will never need them. If you find yourself in legal trouble, though, consulates and embassies can provide vital assistance in navigating unfamiliar and unfriendly legal waters.

Have you ever thought of traveling overseas? You might want to hold on to your traveling plans for awhile and go to farther and distant lands.

Pamplona Running Of The Bulls - Insane, Risky And Enormously Fun

By Grace Charvin


If there is one country that I really love spending time in then it has got to be Spain. This country, on the south western party of Europe, was the second most visited country in the world a few years back, so I know I am not alone for my love of the country. Spain has got everything I want in a vacation destination, a warm climate, beaches, entertainment hot spots, nightlife and exciting festivals.

Spain really has some world renowned festivals. One of those is La Tomatina, held in Bunol, near Valencia. This festivals involves people throwing tomato at each other! But by far the biggest and best festival is the San Fermin, which is held in Pamplona every July. The San Fermin is best known for its crazy Running of the Bulls held every morning of the festival.

The Pamplona Running of the Bulls is something that I've always watched on TV with great intrigue. This year I made the decision to attend the world renowned San Fermin Festival between 6 and 14 July. I guess I love a bit of risk and a bit of a a challenge, so the thought of running in front of snorting, angry and frenzied bulls just spells excitement and adventure to me. I can honestly say that you really have to see this Bull Run to believe it. It is truly out of this world.

One thing that I didn't realise is that most towns and cities across Spain have an annual festival that involves a morning Bull Run. However, it is the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona that everyone wants to go to. I fortunately did my homework and discovered that during the Pamplona Bull Run accommodation can be very expensive. If you want to do things on a bit of a budget then there are a few camp sites close to Pamplona. There is also tour operators that do Pamplona tours, where they plan everything for you, including transport, bed and breakfast. I certainly wasn't on a low budget for my Pamplona Bull Run trip, so we were booked into a hotel known as Gran Hotel La Perla. This hotel had a great location with a balcony that looked over the road where the running of the bulls took place.

The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona is a totally chaotic experience, some would say it is for the insane. I wanted to be insane just this once, envisioning the faces of friends and family back home when I relayed the events. One thing is for sure, my friend and I were intending to be part of the week long party and the ongoing flow of traditional sangria.

I will keep you guessing on that question as there is plenty to do in Pamplona during San Fermin other than run with the bulls. The whole town seemed to be in just one long party mood and it started early in the day and lasted well into the night. There are heaps of bars in Pamplona that are pumping during San Fermin. I really enjoyed going to tapas bars in the afternoon for a few snacks. Tapas is the perfect way to keep you going during San Fermin in between countless amounts of Sangria! The bars and restaurants open late in Spain, but I guess you also have to realise that everyone has a siesta after lunch, so a lot of Pamplona will be closed down in the afternoon. Day and night there was parades going on. Oh, make sure you catch the fireworks one night too. They are on around 11pm every night.

The answer I have to give when people ask me "So, did you actually run?" Is a blunt "Nope"! To be truthful I was horrified that people in the running of the bulls would simply just run over the top of people who had fallen in front of them and that really got me a scared. OK, yes I'm a chicken, but you should see the casualty report on TV when they do the run, some people were getting seriously hurt and not just from the hits from the bull! Just because I didn't run with the bulls doesn't mean I didn't have a fantastic time in Pamplona for San Fermin, as we still stayed the full seven days and enjoyed other parts of the festival immensely.

I have briefly visited Pamplona outside of San Fermin and it is a completely different place. You really need to be in Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls to appreciate the atmosphere and experience what is pretty much a uniquely Spanish experience

Rio De Janeiro Is Such An Amazing Destination For New Year's Eve

By Grace Charvin


Christmas and New Year's Eve is almost upon us. Are you like me and starting to save for the upcoming holidays? In recent times New Year's Eve for me has been a time for relaxing and enjoying the night in my favourite restaurant back home with family and a few friends. Last New Year's Eve my friend Lucy and I went to Rio De Janeiro for New Year's Eve. If you are thinking of doing a South American New Year's Eve, but unsure about where you want to go, well stop thinking about it, because Rio De Janeiro is the only place to be in South America for New Year's Eve. Let me tell you, it is easily the best New Year's Eve I have experienced and I cannot wait to do it all again.

Ok, we all know that Rio de Janeiro is renowned for its crazy celebrations all year round, including the Carnival in Rio De Janeiro that is on around February or March each year. But New Year's Eve is also absolutely massive and the best place in the city to be is right on Copacabana Beach. Here people gather and celebrate by drinking, samba dancing, watching the fireworks at midnight, and much more. The firework display on Copacabana Beach for New Year's Eve is something else, as they use expensive and very colorful fireworks, and these really last a long time up in the night sky and the beach and surf is lit up as well.

If you need accommodation there are heaps of hotels close to the beach. Copacabana really is a massive tourist hub, so we stayed in a really neat 4 star hotel right on the beach. Although the hotel was pretty flash, it was still worth the money. We had a great view of the beach and the whole area. The hotel next door to us had a massive New Year's Eve party that looked pretty ritzy, as the party entrance fee was around $1100 USD. However, there are quite a lot of affordable hotels to stay that are right near the beach. Some of them are a bit older, but still do the job you need and are pretty affordable on most budgets.

What makes South America an awesome place for New Year's Eve is that during this time of year, the weather in northern hemisphere countries is cold and often caked in snow. That's why many vacationers will spend their holidays at tropical locations, like Rio de Janeiro. The weather is consistently hot during the holidays, and vacationers will love to swim at the beach all day and night. Rio de Janeiro is one of the best warm weather locations to stay during New Year's Eve.

I know we wasted a lot of time hanging out at the beach, but our trip wasn't just all about swimming at the beach all the time as there was plenty of other things to do in Rio De Janeiro. We decided to do a mountain hike up Sugar Loaf Mountain and this was such an awesome trip. If you want to do some hiking then definitely head to Sugar Loaf Mountain. Also after we did some hiking we took a train ride up Corcovado mountain one day to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. This was so worth it, as you get a great view of the whole city up there.

Hey guys, take my word for it, I can highly recommend you check out Rio De Janeiro for your next New Year's Eve vacation.

Ways To Make The Most Of Your Travelling!

By Fred Sherman


If you're looking to get away from it all with a trip away from home, don't forget to travel smart. A mishap, mistake or forgotten item can ruin a vacation as surely as bad weather or an unpleasant travel companion. While there are some things you just can't control, maximize your chances of having a good trip with the following travel tips.

Make use of social media when traveling and when planning your trip. Many blogs and online forums have first-hand reviews of the locations you'd like to visit, plus you can ask people directly about their experiences. In addition, if you use sites that allow you to update your status, your friends might have good suggestions on what to do next.

To have a less stressful trip and over all more enjoyable travel, it is important to plan ahead. By planning ahead, one can reduce their chances of forgetting something that is needed. Also, if something comes up, there is enough time to handle it as opposed to having to rush at the last minute.

When booking a hotel stay, be sure to ask when the hotel was last built or renovated. A low-cost motel that's brand new might be a better option than an older building attached to a good name. Stay away from lower-end and mid-range hotels that haven't been renovated in more than five or six years.

Do your research before you book. Look for websites that have user reviews of the places you are interested in visiting. Ask people you know who have been there before. Doing the research yourself will help you know what to expect, as well as help you choose what you really want to do when you get to your destination.

When traveling with more than one child, consider pre-packing each child's clothing into a large freezer bag. These bags can be labeled with each day, so the kids can easily find the clothing they're going to wear. This prevents them from needing to unpack the whole suitcase each morning, and also reduces the chance of items being forgotten at home.

When you're taking a trip that requires a passport or any type of paperwork for that matter, make sure that you have a second copy available. Go to your local photocopy shop and make a copy of all of your documents. This is a great way to stay safe, even if you lose your original documents or if they are stolen.

During the winter, in particular, it is smart to keep a couple of blankets, some boots, some matches and a large candle, in the trunk of your vehicle. These could come in very handy if you happen to skid off the road and find yourself lodged in a snow bank with no chance of immediate rescue.

In conclusion, make certain you are armed with the proper information for your trip and your destinations. Travel will be so much more rewarding if you avoid any negative incidents that could crop up along the way. Preparation and knowledge are key ingredients to having a wonderful travel experience.

Travel Techniques That Will Change Your Next Trip For The Better

By Arianna Taylor


Though many people consider travel to be stressful and unpleasant, it doesn't have to be that way. Getting outside of your normal daily activity can be a rewarding experience, and one that can change your life in large or small ways. Following these tips will help make the journey a positive one.

If you don't want to be around children when you are on vacation new options are becoming available for you! Cruise lines are increasingly offering "adults-only" cruises, which offer weary parents and childless couples the ability to vacation without the little ones. These trips are becoming popular for cruise lines and are expected to be seen more often in other venues as well.

To bring everything you need on your trip, you need to have reliable luggage. If your luggage is old or cannot contain everything you need, you should go buy new luggage. Do not hesitate to buy expensive luggage. The quality guarantees that your belongings will be protected and good luggage should last you for years.

If you have a choice when booking flights for travel, select an airline that uses primarily 767 jets. These larger jets have more legroom, and offer more direct flights because they can stay in the air longer. Also, the 767s have a two-three-two seat configuration, meaning there is only one middle seat per row instead of the usual two.

Don't judge a hotel by its name alone. Look for the year it was built or last renovated, which can be very telling. Hotels can take a beating and a newly built budget hotel, may be much nicer than a luxury brand that is showing a lot of wear and tear from not being renovated in years.

If you're going to be staying in a hotel, one of the first things you should do is check the alarm clock. Often either the guest prior or a maid playing a prank will have the alarm clock set and it may wake you up blaring in your ear in the middle of the night.

Don't take sleep aids until you've taken off. If you use sleep aids to help you get through a long flight, wait until after you're airborne to pop the pill. If you take them earlier, you run the risk being unbearably tired if your flight is delayed or you have to deplane and take a later flight.

Bring postcards from home to show off or trade. Striking up a conversation is much easier if you can whip out a postcard and tell someone this is where you are from. You can also trade these with street vendors for local postcards or other merchandise, especially if you are from a well-known or beautiful city.

Bring your own toilet paper! In many countries, toilet paper is either not used, or not provided. Put a small amount of toilet paper in a plastic sandwich bag, and carry it with you, or simply grab a travel pack of facial tissues. You do not want to get stuck without any!

You do not have to worry about getting lost again when you are traveling if you follow the tips that have been provided in this article. You need to be responsible when you are traveling and be certain that you are not going somewhere that you really do not want to be.
