Wherever you travel, there is always some kind of adventure to embark upon. Kayaking is one of those adventures which is fun on rivers, lakes or open water. It can be very exciting, if not treacherous, on white rapid waters, or mellow, on a lake to a moderately moving river. It will be enjoyable as
I believe vacations were “invented” so that people could get away from their normal routine once or twice a year, or maybe more. They are very good for one’s mental attitude because it allows one to be in a different environment and get a different point of view. Many people make new positive decisions about
Many people deal with jet lag in different ways, especially on long flights crossing many times zones.

Some children may get excited about packing to go on their trip, but they might sometimes need a little supervision in packing the appropriate things. A parent once experienced an unexpected surprise, regarding a short road trip
Travel can have its pros and cons. Mostly, I find the pros greatly outweigh the cons. But I never anticipated this happening! I was standing on a walkway at the airport when I was struck by a piece of “runaway” luggage! This was the first time I learned about the minor disadvantage of luggage with
When looking for house, condo, or apartment accommodations, I always ask if there’s a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer. Also, I like to confirm that they’re working.

I was dreaming, and in my dream there were people singing and yelling. It seemed like a large crowd. Then I woke up and found out that it wasn’t a dream! Sleeping comfortably and peacefully is very important to me, especially when traveling. Wherever I’m staying, I’ll ask prior to arrival about any noise from
