Travel and Leisure

Everything that has ever been made has had good things about them, and since for every motion there is an equal yet opposite motion, everything that has ever been made has had some bad points as well. A roadshow bus has good points to them, and they have a few drawbacks also. Let's take a look at the good aspects of a roadshow vehicle.

A roadshow bus lets you have a place for your family to sleep, to eat, to prepare their meals, private toilet facilities, bathing facilities, and conveniently can be parked near the activities you wish to engage in.

With a roadshow bus you can pack groceries from home and prepare meals that you know are nutritious, delicious, and that cost far less than dining in fast food restaurants with the entire family. If you have a picky eater in your group you can accommodate their likes and dislikes without any trouble. If you have someone with a food allergy then you can make certain that they are not exposed to that food accidentally. Your family can eat their meals when they want to and do not have to go out to eat when the nearest diner is open. They give you freedom of choice to live on the time schedule you prefer.

You will have all of the children sleeping in a room that you know is safe from strangers. You will know that should one of the children need you in the middle of the night you will be able to hear them and get to them to take care of their problems. If you stay in a motel or hotel there is a good chance the family will be split up and you will be staying in a room separate from the children.

If you travel with another couple the two couples can split the cost of renting the vehicle, the groceries, and the gas expense. This makes the vacation cheaper for each of you and will allow you to maybe stay longer, or travel farther away.

The private toilet facilities assures you that you are not having to use a public restroom behind everyone else that is at the location you are staying. You will be exposed to fewer germs because you will be able to keep your private facility clean and sanitary, like your facilities at home.

The drawbacks to these units are that they do cost a large sum of money. You can however rent them to use for the amount of time you will be on vacation and you will not have to buy them.

The rental units will come with a full tank of petrol, but you must remember to refill the tank before you return the bus. The rental company will have their own tanks and be able to refill the bus at them, but the petrol will cost more per gallon at these places than at normal gas stations.

You will more than likely have to leave a deposit when you rent one of these units. The deposit will be returned when the unit is returned.

Once upon a time there were two friends, Bob and John, who were partners in business together...

Bob and John had been working together for quite a long time and felt as though they were doing pretty well for themselves. Their company always seemed like it was on the verge of taking off. They leased a building, had a number of good customers, five employees, two company vehicles and very big dreams. Though they worked extremely hard with very little time off, in their minds they were in the process of creating something very real and substantial. It seemed that they were going to get "there" one day and when they did the remainder of their lives would become easier. Their determination and perseverance would pay off and they then wouldn't have to work so hard.

Things continued in virtually this same way for many years but along the way, Bob and John began to notice, at various places and times, what they began referring to as "certain kinds of people." Some of these "certain kinds of people" that they'd encounter were customers of theirs. They'd met a couple of them at one of their kid's birthday parties. Others they'd meet at dinners with friends. They even met one in a jacuzzi at a resort hotel. And while these "certain kinds of people" wandered into their lives randomly, an easy to notice pattern was always evident.

Upon examination, and almost strangely, these "certain kinds of people" always had three very same things in common:

• A lot of time on their hands
• An awful lot of money
• A lot of property

And, being similar to each other as they were, these "certain kinds of people" also always seemed to repeat (often) these identical words to Bob and John. Like members of some exclusive club might chant, they'd say:

"Boys, go out and buy some property! Please just one. Just buy ONE for Gawd's sake."

So, after many years of hearing this same advice many times over, the boys finally called a real estate agent and said the six magic words:

"We want to buy a property."

The real estate agent, being accommodating as agents tend to be, arranged for a viewing of a property he'd known about for a long time which he wasn't able to sell; perhaps partly because it was painted a very bright yellow, much like a lemon.

The big yellow lemon with windows, doors, walls and a roof had been foreclosed upon, was now owned by a bank, unlived in and pretty much a wreck. It was the house that was in the worst condition in an otherwise good neighborhood. You know the one...
Unfazed, the boys were determined and decided to act on the advice they'd been receiving for so long. They bought the yellow eyesore. The agent couldn't believe his good fortune that the boys magically appeared into his life. And as it turned out, Bob and John got a great deal too because they did some very smart things.

The boys fixed up the big yellow lemon. They not only painted it, they also made a number of other renovations, repaired the flooring, installed some new appliances and added landscaping. The house is still yellow but it's not a lemon any longer. They gave it new life and brought it back to what it was born to do: be a home for people. They then found some nice, reliable tenants and rented their (now) masterpiece.

About two years after they'd purchased and renovated the home, our boys realized that between the built in (and growing) equity, tenant rents and appreciation of the value of the home itself equaled about half of the annual profit their entire business generated.

Even with a company, customers, employees, vans, other equipment, (too) many late nights and weekends working and other heroic feats of work, how could one yellow lemon produce such income by itself; without much effort, in just a couple of years?

"Hmmmmm, this property investing might be 'A good thing' after all."

So John, always handy with the calculator, comprehended that if you buy income properties at more than 20% under the perceived market value, perform the appropriate repairs, renovations and some cosmetic touching up you could then assume the equity (which expands over time) and perpetually collect rents... And you could multiply this just by repeating the same model.

So John was assigned to purchase more properties and Bob was given the rewarding job of finding a buyer for their company, the vans and the other equipment. This also meant that the incredible hours, worries and other headaches they'd been enduring would be moving on too.

Two new and very different (better) type lives were now formed. With additional experience, the boys caught on even more as they learned. They merely began replicating the same process again and again and again, until, after just ten years they owned properties worth millions of dollars that were producing never ending streams of income. They'd discovered and transitioned to a very different and new dream for themselves.

And that's how Bob and John became "certain kinds of people" too...

When is the best time of the year to visit the Disneyland Resort in California? There are many factors to consider when answering this question.

1. What months are the least crowded?
2. What time of year has the least amount of attractions down for maintenance?
3. What time of year has the best weather?
4. At what time of year are the theme parks open the longest hours?
5. What time of year has the best schedule for shows, parades and fireworks?
6. Do you want to take advantage of special Holiday times at the resort?
7. When are prices the cheapest inside and outside of the theme parks?

If you are looking for the time of year when your wait time for attractions would be the lowest, then fall, winter and spring would be your best bet. This would include the months of September, October, November (up to about a week before Thanksgiving and then resuming the week after Thanksgiving), the first two weeks of December, the last 3 weeks of January, February, April (with the exception of the week before and after Easter), and May.

Summertime (June, July and August) as well as Thanksgiving through New Years are the times of the year when most rides are open. Since these are also the busiest times of the year for the Disneyland Resort, most attractions are operating. Occasionally, an attraction or area at one of the two theme parks is undergoing a major renovation. If that is the case, then that attraction and or area might even be closed over the summer months and holiday times. You should always check the Disneyland Resort website (DisneylandResort.com) prior to your visit to see if any attractions will be unavailable.

The best weather is generally in the fall and spring in Disneyland. This will be the time of year with the most comfortable daytime temperatures and the lowest probability of rain. Summertime is also a dry time of the year, but the daytime temperatures can be very hot.

During the summer months and over Holiday weeks, the Disneyland Resort theme parks will open earlier and stay open later than at other times of the year. This is to accommodate the larger crowds who visit the theme parks at those times of the year. Year-round, the theme parks have longer operating hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each week - but not necessarily as long as during the peak summer season and holiday season. You can check the operating schedule for both theme parks for up to 6 weeks from today's date by checking the Disneyland Resort website.

The best schedule for all of the shows, parades and fireworks is also going to be during the summer months and Holiday weeks. During the off-season, when crowds are smaller, the fireworks, parades and shows may only be available once a day or even only a few times a week. Generally, they will be available year-round on the weekends.

Halloween and Christmas are special times at the Disneyland Resort. The theme parks are decorated for the holidays, there are special holiday themed parades, tours, fireworks, food, souvenirs and shows. Some of the attractions such as Haunted Mansion and Small World in Disneyland have special Holiday overlays. There are special night parties for Halloween time that are extra ticketed events. The Halloween season typically starts around the middle of September and goes through November 1. The Christmas season typically starts around the middle of November and goes through the first part of January. The crowds during this time of year usually pick up on weekends and then become more crowded as it gets closer to the actual holiday.

Generally, the best prices will be available in the off-season. You may find cheaper prices for hotels, food and tickets from about mid September through mid December (excluding Thanksgiving week), mid January through the end of February, and April and May (excluding the week before and after Easter).

So, what is the very best time to visit the Disneyland Resort in California? Taking all of the above factors into consideration, anytime between mid September and mid November would be my choice. The crowds are lower, the weather is generally pleasant, there are usually good deals to be found, and you can enjoy the Holiday extras. If your visit includes a weekend, you can also take advantage of extended hours, shows, fireworks and parades.

The Philippines is inevitably the Asian country with the most familiar civilisation as far as the western world is concerned.

This is the era of smartphones and tablets. Manufacturers are flooding the market with hundreds of smartphones in different price range. Multiple ecosystems like Windows Phone, Bada and Android have cropped up in an already crowded mobile smartphone market earlier dominated by Apple iOS, Symbian and RIM's Blackberry OS. Apple's iPad, Amazon's Kindle, Samsung's Galaxy series of tablets and upcoming Windows 8 based tablets will create another wave in computing as people will move to the handier tablet form factor. As the number of choices grows for consumers and the prices come down, mobile smartphones and tablets will take-over the computing world including the internet. Statistics point that one half of all local searches carried out on internet are using cell phones. According to Microsoft Tag, by 2014, mobile internet will take over desktop internet usage. This proves that the trend of smartphones and tablets usage is picking up quicker than ever and for businesses, this is the right time, if not already up and running, to have a Mobile Website Design in place.

What does Mobile Website Design mean?

A mobile website design allows a visitor to access your website using a small screen mobile device like a smartphone or a tablet. Mobile websites should be compatible with the built-in browsers that the devices carry in them. Also Mobile Website Design should be such that the content is rendered without any clutter on a relatively low resolution small screen compared to laptops and desktops. Accessing a desktop website using a mobile device is a data intensive task and time consuming. Irrespective of what device or platform a customer uses, a mobile website design should be such that the browsing is seamless across all these.

What are the key benefits of Mobile Website Design?

There are four major benefits of having a Mobile Website Design in place:

• Mobile web design and development enhances the brand, product or service beyond the desktop website into web applications and mobile apps. In a constantly changing Mobile Technology scenario - Mobile Website Design would mean endless possibilities to enhance business.

• A well structured Mobile Website Design has the potential to increase the number of visitors who would return to your site in the future. Increased visits convert into increased sales.

• A Mobile Website Design gives a professional look to your business and instills confidence in a customer's mind. Having mobile website in place means that your business is interested in keeping up with the changes in the world and according to the needs of the customers.

• Mobile Website Designs targeting people who are constantly in motion (hotels, restaurants, bakery, travel websites etc.) will gain more popularity as they give the flexibility of browsing your website while on the move.

Website Design for Mobile Devices & Desktop Computers

A website should always run equally fast on all platforms. The overall web experience should remain the same irrespective of whether a customer visits your website through a cell-phone or a tablet or a desktop. It is more likely that a visitor would remain on the website for long if the website access is quick.

If visitors can't find what they need on your website, they leave. The key to convert these visitors into customers is accommodation. Online shoppers who look for products and services on the internet are more likely to buy from a company that has a well designed and fully functional website on both Mobile Devices and Desktop Computers.

A Website Design should look equally good on Cell-phones, Tablets and Desktop PC

A website should look equally good on a Desktop PC, an iPad, a HTC Smartphone or a Galaxy tablet. The appearance of the website should be the same across all these devices. The features of the design should be same too. A good web experience across all form factors will retain visitors and existing customers.

Identifying devices in order to customize content

It is important to identify the device used to access your website along with other information like platform, browser, screen resolution etc. This information always helps in customizing the content such that the web experience is seamless and uniform. Programs like Google Analytics can be used for such purposes. Such programs help determine quickly whether the device is a Smartphone or a Desktop PC or an iPad.

If you want to be mobile ready, hire a professional web design company that offers web design services that are up to date & provide web design solutions as per the changes in technology and the customers' needs.

Holidays form a very important part of our lives because they recharge our batteries and refresh us completely. The only thing that can lighten us up and invigorate our spirit to work and live life dynamically is a holiday. Not just that, a holiday is something that helps us better understand the place we are visiting; there may be so many things we wouldn't have known about the place if not for the visit. Most of all, it helps us build memories, which stay with us and probably never fade away until we become extinct. Furthermore, holidays bring us back on track and help us keep the momentum going once again with a new, rejuvenated and vibrant spirit. As humans, it is highly essential for us to take regular breaks from packed and hectic life schedules and enjoy the precious moments that a holiday brings about.

The travel guide can simplify the planning part of a holiday. It gives information pertinent to the destination and its various features. For instance, if you are planning a trip to Goa and you want to know the major tourist attractions, the answer can be got by looking up in a travel guide. Not only that, a travel guide also contains information about the various hotels that are located in the particular destination. For tourists, travel guides have come very much in handy and have helped in developing an understanding towards the various aspects about destination that is being visited. Referring a travel guide is a trend that is widely followed these days.

Travel guides are often documented by travel agencies. Since they deal with helping people enjoy their vacations in different places round the world, these agencies have an in depth knowledge about major and minor tourist destinations. Travel agencies are the best way to obtain travel information and the attractive aspects of a particular place you want to visit. Travel agencies also suggest places that can be visited on the basis of your preferences and priorities. The travel information about a particular place is provided by travel agencies and these agencies also take care of transport and accommodation services. Travels agencies have tie ups with the hospitality industry, both working in mutual coordination in order to promote their own services and increase their brand value. So remember, if you decide to go on a holiday to a particular place, approaching travel agencies is the best option since these agencies provide full travel information of the place you'd be visiting.

Traveling round the world is an exciting prospect and provides something very different when compared to visiting different places in your native country. For one, the culture is completely different and so are the people. Interacting with locals in a different country is as exciting as visiting the attractions there. You can travel world round and enjoy the sights, the cuisines and the wonderful locales which foreign countries can provide.

Pets are friendly companions for many people. Dogs and cats in particular form bonds with their owner such that many have come to consider them as part of the family or even as another child. It is obvious that when going on a trip they would like to have their pet along. Traveling with your pet requires advance preparation to make the trip a pleasant experience for yourself and for the pet.

When travelling by plane, you need to do some research and find out the requirements for different carriers. Each airline company has its sets of rules. The costs obviously vary. Most of the times, the cost for taking a pet on a flight is much more than that for a child; airline carriers also make a distinction with regards to the breed of the pet. Some airlines for instance will not allow bulldogs or Persian cats to be taken as cargo because they are prone to breathing problems.

Important is the documentation required for the pet. Certainly, you need to have your pet examined by a veterinarian and obtain the necessary vaccinations. There are different choices of how you can take your pet along on an airline carrier. It of course depends on the carrier and if they provide such possibility. Your pet can travel either as a carry-on baggage, a checked luggage or as cargo.

To have your pet as a carry-on baggage,the pet need to be small enough to fit under the seat. Some airlines have special cargo areas for pets that are well adapted. The least convenient method of taking a pet along is to have it as a checked luggage. Some suggestion before taking your pet on a plane trip is to prepare the pet for the trip. For instance; taking your pet to a long walk just before a trip will have it tired enough and resting for the most part of the journey.

Other suggestions involve placing the pet on the floor of the car so that it gets used to the vibration. You should also get your pet associated with an airplane environment. Recommendations are to use lavender oil as an association scent that usually works to calm down pets.

Of course, pets travel more comfortably and the requirements are less stringent when on a train or a boat trip. You still have to have the proper documentation and vaccination given to your pet if going abroad. Your pet may be used to your car. You still have to be certain that it is comfortable especially for long journeys. Frequent stops will give both you and the pet well needed rest and the chance to refresh.

There are many restrictions and laws for pets that vary depending on the country your going. If the pet is an exotic pet or a protected animal, you need to find out by obtaining proper information as to what is allowed at the destination country that you are going.

Traveling with your pet can be a lot of fun. There are many lodges and hotels that accept pets. Searching for such places will provide you with a wonderful experience and your pet will also feel more at ease because such places have facilities to accommodate them.

There are many people involved in the transport industry, and there are many ways that you can become involved. There are plenty of transport jobs, from frozen foods, to medical equipment, and even electronics. Whichever part of the industry you are in, you are still a huge part of it, and with that being the case, it is important for you to read transport news. What can transport news tell you? How can you benefit from it?

Travel Regulations -- There are laws supporting everything -- even the transport industry. While you might not pay attention to the local or federal government, a good transport publication will, and this will keep you up to date. Remember, the last thing you want is to be stopped on the way to your destination because you have broken some sort of law.

Vehicles -- If you are in charge of your own vehicle, it would be nice to have updated information on the various vehicle upgrades and even replacements. If you can save on gas mileage or perhaps add more storage space, you would certainly want to know about it.

Routes -- In the transport industry, you are not exactly taking a family vacation. There are specific routes that most people like to take, and as a result, the trip becomes pretty routine. A transport publication will discuss those routes and even talk about new ones.

Destinations -- The ultimate destination is your pickup or delivery, but along the way you will undoubtedly need to visit diners, hotels, and even rest areas. A good travel publication will certainly be able to help you with that, and keep you current on the available accommodations.

Unlike any other magazines you might subscribe to, it is important to ensure that your travel magazines are actually accurate. if they are no, you face a rather serious problem. For example, inaccurate information could have an effect on the quality of your trip. Before you rely on any sort of travel publication, you should check its authenticity, and verify that others have had a decent experience. This might seem like a lot of work, but you can trust us when we say it is absolutely worth it.

Another very important aspect of any travel publication is their ability to prioritize information. For example, posting information about a great eating establishment ahead of information about a road closure might be a lack of priority. This could lead to problems, especially if you fail to turn that 'one page' during your first skimming of the magazine.

What formats is the travel publication in? Can you buy it in print? Does it come as a digital publication? Both? The format is up to you, but make sure you choose one that actually suits your needs.

Choosing a good travel publication is a must if you plan to have an effective trip. It is an added yearly expense, of course, but a good publication can tell you things that the internet never will. You will be dealing with individuals that spend their time on the road, and have dedicated their time to ensuring all available facts are known. You really cannot do much better than that, can you?

Check out the different available publications and try to create a flow of information. When you are on the road, nothing can be more important. Remember, information is power!

Have you ever been lucky enough to get a gift of travel for the holiday? Many people think long and hard about what gifts they are going to get others during the holidays. Consider this, what are some of the most memorable times of your life? For many, the answer to this question would be a trip, outing, getaway, or vacation. Travel is something that almost everybody wants to do, and almost nobody feels as if they have done all the leisure travel that they want to do.

Think about it, even the time off that people get from their jobs is called "vacation time." Even though many people use this time off close to home, most people do incorporate some type of travel into their time off from work. Thus, travel gifts are a great way to show those special people in your life how much you care during the holidays.

Consider Planning A Family Travel Opportunity As A Holiday Gift This Year

One of the newer trends in gift giving is planning a holiday vacation instead of exchanging gifts for the holiday. Even short trips fairly close to home can bring some much needed rest and relaxation along with wonderful new holiday memories that the family might not get a home. The sky is the limit when it comes to planning holiday travel gifts. Just a few options include getting a cabin for the family, taking a trip to a local resort, traveling by car to an area that does not require a passport, or booking plane tickets, accommodations, and transportation to travel a distance for the holiday. All families, big and small, will truly benefit from receiving the gift of travel for the holidays.

Travel Related Holiday Gifts

Many people cannot give specific pre-planned trips as holiday gifts. After all, this can get expensive and it requires coordinating the schedules of everybody involved. In many instances, it is also difficult to keep holiday travel a secret until the holiday. Thus, some people choose to give travel related gifts for the holiday. There are many opportunities for giving when it comes to travel related gifts. Many people enjoy receiving new luggage, apparel for a specific destination, or a book or maps on a place that the recipient would like to visit. Other great gift ideas include gift cards or certificates for a specific amount of money toward a travel related expense. This can include a gift card for airfare, a hotel stay, car rental, or an activity at a specific destination. Many people love receiving mementos from places you have traveled, as well.

The next time you take a trip consider purchasing holiday gifts from the place where you are traveling. These fun souvenirs make great holiday gifts. Often times, gifts purchased in other states or countries are unique and different from what can be found at home. It is also fun for the gift giver to do some retail therapy while on vacation. Consider giving the awesome gift of travel this holiday season!

It was more out of curiosity that we set out to explore the Golden Triangle cities because when they were first recommended a thought that crossed our minds was, "What's so golden about these cities?" So set out we did and were we in for one of the most pleasant and satisfying of journeys that any traveler can take on. Of course, the prospect of being in India, a country known for its splendor, thrills, hospitality and a fair share of misadventures (for the non-cautious) is in itself overwhelming. Add to that a dash of mystery, a pinch of adventure and a touch of exploration and you've signed up for a memorable holiday.

Our journey started at New Delhi, India's capital and the nucleus city of all Golden Triangle tours. It couldn't have been a better start or a greater precursor to the tour. Delhi is a comfortable city, especially for first-timers to India. For those of us who are wary of hitching an elephant ride from the airport to our hotels or running into snake charmers and fakirs, New Delhi is quite an eye-opener and an exact opposite of our pre-conceived notion of India.

The city's comfort with modernity is very obvious. From good transportation to clean roads to a population that appears at ease with foreigners, New Delhi is indeed worthy of being India's capital. But what's the most mesmerizing of its features is how easily the city blends the old and new. When you see buses and cars whizzing past the Red Fort or the Qutub Minar jutting right behind some modern high-rises, what strikes you is the beauty with which Delhi has preserved its glorious past while simultaneously accommodating the new. Neither the new facades and edifices nor the historical ramparts and ruins look out of place. And that's not all; the goldenness of Delhi gets transferred to its cuisine.

Out next stop was Agra where we realized how the hype about the Taj Mahal was understated. The Taj is surreally beautiful. Love and melancholy emanate from every stone, every carving and it's as if the monument speaks to you. You need a complete day to do justice to the Taj. Agra also plays host to a few more wonders such as the Fatehpur Sikri and the Red Fort which may not be among the seven wonders but are good rivals for the Taj.

A trip to Jaipur is what completes a typical Golden Triangle Tour and my, what a way to complete any journey! The sheer contrast between the landscapes and sights of Agra and Jaipur is itself breathtaking. The crowned heads of Rajasthan have left behind such wonders that you can't but envy them. Fortunately, its one place in India where you get to experience royalty just the way the royals did. From being serenaded to pampered to indulged, you'll only be the greediest person alive to ask for more! In addition to being just what a tourist wants Jaipur throws in a few extras such as wildlife sanctuaries, desert safaris and the works.

So it's safe to say we discovered the goldenness in the golden triangle cities. In fact, it was rather obvious from the day the journey started!

One golf course in South Africa has something you won't find anywhere else in the world - at least not just like this. The Legend Golf & Safari Resort has the official "longest par 3 in the world" and you need a helicopter to get to it. Most golfers love a challenge but this takes the word "challenge" to a new level.

This golf resort is found in the Entabeni Safari Conservancy in the Waterberg Region of the Limpopo Province of South Africa. It's a beautiful course and resort on its own accord but it's the record for the longest par 3 that has really captured the attention of golfers all over the world. This par 3 hole is played from a vertical height of 430 meters (1,410 feet) which is why you need a helicopter to get to it.

It's located high on Hanglip Mountain and it's meant as a novelty hole. It also has some very cool features that you won't find on a typical golf course. For example, there are four cameras and the latest tracking equipment that allows golfers to follow and capture their tee shot and the flight of the ball.

The best part: if you get a hole in one on this par 3, you win a million US dollars!

Here are some other features the website has to say about this special hole:

The fairway is seeded with Cynodon grass and contoured to funnel the ball to the green below. In celebration of the African Renaissance, the green has been shaped like the map of Africa Spotters are posted around the green to let you know where your ball lands the 900-yard (830 meter) 19th is used as a playoff hole for major tournaments.

Legend Golf and Safari Resort

It features an 18-hole course, a golf academy, driving range, hotel, recreational facilities and more.
