Taking a Tour Around Alicante
May 18th, 2010 — Travel - Local and World
There are many different reasons why visitors come to Spain every year. Some visitors choose Spain as they are permanent destination by purchasing holiday homes, timeshares, or even moving to the country on a permanent or semipermanent basis. La Ciudad Alicante is one of those places that is visited year after year and it’s not surprising because of the welcome that is received. You’re almost guaranteed to have the sunshine when you come here for your holidays and because flights to Alicante are not only available from most European countries, they are also very cheap and this is due to the fact that there has been influx of cheap carriers such as Ryanair over the past few years.

Island Living
November 1st, 2009 — Travel - Local and World
Am I wrong in thinking that the best tropical islands are always the ones with open bars? I don’t know if it’s because you just care less about the details after collecting too many little paper umbrellas or if those island resorts just “get it.” There is something inherent to the idea of vacationing on a tropical island that demands relaxation. These little island paradises practically insist that you sit around soaking up sun and sucking down piña coladas from sun rise to sunset and whichever resort nails the concept of “doing nothing in paradise” best will always be the clear winner in the hearts and minds of vacationers the world over. People will go to hell and back to find that one perfect place in the middle of the ocean (no matter where on the globe they have to go to find it) where you can spend an entire week doing nothing. And NOTHING says, “I’m not going to do ANYTHING today” better than a never ending stream of foo-foo drinks with little paper umbrellas and too much pineapple juice.
England’s best kept secret – Hedingham Castle
October 31st, 2009 — Education, Sports & Outdoor Recreation, Travel - Local and World
Do you want to immerse yourself in the historical aura of one of the finest medieval castles in eastern England? Hedingham Castle is a majestic Norman keep in immaculate condition, yet the tourist crowds have barely heard of it. It boasts one of the finest Norman domestic interiors in existence anywhere in the world, and yet this is a family-owned castle on private land that is hard to find and very much off the beaten track.
Exotic vacations around the world
October 31st, 2009 — Travel - Local and World
Whenever I hear the phrase “exotic vacations around the world” I can only think of one thing and it’s not likely to leave my thoughts quickly. In fact, all I really have to hear is the word exotic and sudden an image of a Moroccan market complete with brightly colored bowls of spices and intricate tapestries is conjured. I think it just may be that this is the one place in all the world where I felt most out of place. Not that I didn’t belong necessarily, just that I had fallen through the rabbit hole as it were. Maybe I would eventually find a way to fit in but right now I have no idea what’s going on, nor do I know whether or not someone is go to start screaming, “Off with his head!” if I make a wrong move. Even the music that pervades the market in my head is unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere but poorly made pulp action movies. That sense of being completely out of your element is the DEFINITION of “exotic.”

I love geocaching and have become increasingly more adept at locating those hard to find, more difficult caches, but until I invested in my Garmin GPSmap 478 GPS Receiver, I had to shy away from caches that would take me off the land.
Help Me Sell My Timeshare
October 22nd, 2009 — Travel - Local and World
There are lots of people with timeshares that suddenly say “Oh man, I have no money, I really need to sell my timeshare.” The economy has taken a tumble and a lot of the extras that people used to be able to afford are going by the wayside. So how does one go about selling their timeshare? Patiently.
Folding Camper Maintenance
October 18th, 2009 — Travel - Local and World
Maintaining your camper will prove useful in the years to come. Regular inspection of the working parts will prevent any nasty suprises from occuring when you are on your travels. Because most folding campers have a fabric roof and side walls, they are susceptible to damage from bad weather conditions. It is important to look after the fabric and treat it with respect and care. Modern fabric materials are very good at keeping water out, and the fibres inside the fabric are very tough and strong.
