			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure, anywhere is romantic with the one you love, but some destinations just cry romance. Some of my favorites are:</p>
<p>1.Paris – What&#8217;s not to love about the &#8220;City of Lights&#8221;? The city&#8217;s architecture, parks, and monuments are beautiful any time of year. Plus, it&#8217;s next to impossible to get a bad meal in this town. Add dozens of interesting museums, the picturesque Seine River, some of the world&#8217;s best shopping, and that Paris charm, and you&#8217;ve got a winner.</p>
<p>2.New York City in December – New York City is interesting any time of year, but in December, when the city is decked out for the holidays, it&#8217;s magical. The department windows feature charming holiday vignettes, the tree at Rockefeller Center glistens, ice skaters glide through Central Park, and the city sparkles with holiday lights.</p>
<p>3.California Wine Country – Just north of San Francisco, California&#8217;s wine country is a world away from the bustle of the city. Many of the region&#8217;s wine estates welcome visitors for tastings and tours, and the area boasts dozens of small and interesting bed and breakfast inns, many with views of the vineyards. Napa and Sonoma Counties are home to a surprising number of excellent restaurants, which make use of the bountiful local produce and vintages.<br />
<span id="more-515"></span><br />
4.Tuscany – Speaking of wine country, consider a visit to one of the original wine countries – Tuscany. The rolling hills, just outside of Florence in central Italy, are home to hundreds of small wineries as well as picturesque stone farmhouses and casually elegant eateries.</p>
<p>5.Tahiti – These islands have captivated travelers since the days of Paul Gauguin. Explore the French flavor of Papeete or venture to one of the smaller islands, such as Bora Bora or Moorea. You can even stay in a private cottage built on stilts over the calm Tahitian lagoon. The friendliness and welcoming nature of the Tahitian people is legendary.</p>
<p>6.Hawaii – A little closer to home, but no less romantic, the Hawaiian Islands combine American customs with Polynesian culture. Add beautiful beaches, Trade Wind breezes, lilting island music, and dramatic volcanoes for a one-of-a-kind experience.</p>
<p>7.A Castle in Ireland – Spending your honeymoon in a historic Irish castle is the stuff of which dreams are made. Consider a stay at the elegant stone fortress, Dromoland Castle, which hosts many of Ireland&#8217;s state visitors, or the five-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel in Galaway, with its rolling hills, championship golf course, and gourmet dining.</p>
<p>8.Bed and Breakfasts in New England – The New England countryside abounds in small, historic bed and breakfast inns and the region&#8217;s scenery is enchanting any time of year – from the legendary fall foliage to the sparkling summer seashores. Explore the region&#8217;s many parks and hiking trails; shop for antiques and homemade crafts in unique village stores; or sample fresh-from-the-sea lobsters, clams, and other seafood delights.</p>
<p>9.Turks and Caicos Islands – Just an hour&#8217;s flight away from south Florida, these islands offer some of the world&#8217;s most beautiful stretches of white sand beach. Plus, at least at this writing, they are much less developed than other Caribbean island resorts. In addition to beach activities, you can explore the islands&#8217; coral reefs, try your luck at one of the small island casinos, or dine seaside on fresh conch.</p>
<p>10.A Greek Island – From Mykonos to Corfu, from Crete to Santorini, the Greek Islands enchant with crystal clear water, simple and deliciously prepared food, white-washed buildings, and innate Greek friendliness. Plus, accommodations, food, and fun on the islands are surprisingly affordable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. You have children age 12 and under</p>
<p>Every child should experience the magic of Disney at some point during their childhood. It is a special trip they will never forget and will cherish forever. The only way they’ll ever experience Castaway Cay is aboard a Disney vessel. A Disney cruise is an excellent way to experience everything Disney has to offer.</p>
<p>2. You have teenagers</p>
<p>Disney cruises realized long ago that small children grow older and developed programs for teenagers also. If you go on a cruise without your teens, you’ll worry about what they’re doing while you are away. So bring them along on a Disney cruise – they’ll love it.</p>
<p>3. You are planning a cruise without your children</p>
<p>Why leave the kids with grandma when you can take the kids along on a Disney cruise? Disney cruises plan itineraries for your children (all the way to midnight) no matter the age group. So, each of you can enjoy yourselves separately, and come together for meals, ports-of-call, etc. When the children are with you, all the worrying about their well-being is eliminated.</p>
<p>4. Away time for the parents</p>
<p>With the kids safely onboard and their fun-filled itineraries planned, Mom and Dad can enjoy some time on their own with the peace-of-mind that their children are safe. Should the need arise; an onboard paging system can make contact with parents at any time. Whether you want to go to an onboard coffee shop, health spa, or a nightclub – Disney cruises understands and can accommodate you.</p>
<p>5. Excellent dining</p>
<p>Opulent dining choices are always at or near the top of all cruisers’ lists of what they want in a cruise. Disney understands this and offers excellent cuisine for all. There is even an adults-only formal restaurant, the Palo, which specializes in Northern Italian cuisine. The kids will like Animator’s Palate where Disney scenes decorate the walls and change from black-and-white to vivid color before dinner is done.</p>
<p>6. Onboard entertainment</p>
<p>Disney boats feature original productions at the Walt Disney Theatre. These area all live, Broadway-style productions with a cast of Disney characters the whole family is sure to recognize. Also, movies are featured in two locations onboard – at the state of the art Buena Vista Theatre, and under the night sky near the Goofy Pool on a jumbo LED screen. Plus, there’s more to the onboard entertainment than plays and movies – activities have been custom-tailored for all types of passengers. The Oceaneer Club is designed for the youngest sailors, ages 3-7 complete with a trained staff to help them enjoy the fun. For kids a little older, ages 8-12, there is the Oceaneer Lab with interactive games on a giant video wall. Also, kids can enjoy playing ship captain at Ocean Quest. Finally, for teens there are teen-only clubs designed to look like an apartment or dorm room where the tough-to-please can socialize with their age group. There are also activities designed for the whole family to enjoy together like the Studio Sea where Mom, Dad and the kids can participate in a live game show and sing karaoke together.<br />
<span id="more-507"></span><br />
7. Locations visited by Disney Cruises</p>
<p>Disney Cruises feature a stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. Other stops featured on the Caribbean cruises include Nassau, St. Maarten, St. Thomas/St. John, Key West, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. The Mexican Riviera cruise features a trip from Port Canaveral through the Panama Canal with stops at Castaway Cay, Aruba, Cartagena, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Capo San Lucas.</p>
<p>8. You want to do something different for Spring Break</p>
<p>It may be a little-known fact that Disney Cruises are a very popular choice for the college-age crowd during Spring Break, and it’s easy to understand why. A Disney cruise provides an alternative for those young adults not wishing to participate in the regular rites of debauchery in which so many other young adults partake.</p>
<p>9. You’ve never been to Castaway Cay</p>
<p>Castaway Cay is Disney’s private island and it has features perfect for the whole family. Kids and teens can venture to Never Land and adults can go to Shangri-La. Of course, the whole family can relax together on the beach and take in some sun.</p>
<p>10. You’ve never been on a cruise</p>
<p>Disney Cruises is a great choice for those travelers who have never been on a cruise. Even if traveling without children the excursion will be a trip you will treasure forever. Disney cruises has many ship excursions planned no matter the season and there will surely be a trip that fits into your busy schedule.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more people from all walks of life are jumping online to make money from a home-based business. They want to work  part-time, full-time, any time…to get away form the daily office grind, the water cool gossip gang, low wages, poor to zero benefits, unthankful bosses, demanding hours, zero to little vacation time and more.</p>
<p>And rising costs everywhere add to the seriousness of starting a home-based business. From high prices for food to automobile fuel to clothing, utilities, advanced education and more, jobs that only maybe offer a 4% raise per year don’t even keep up with daily living costs. So extra income – or even a better main source of income – is a must for many households.</p>
<p>In response to the many needs for make money, work from home and enjoy more benefits, here is a look at 10 reasons to start your own Coastal Vacations business:</p>
<p>1. You can say “Goodbye!” to a bad boss and be your own boss. No more looking over your shoulder. Instead, you can enjoy the freedom of more and varied time, improved goals that you want, and finances to cover your needs and wants.</p>
<p>2. You can work any time and in comfort. No more perfume- and cologne-filled elevators and public restrooms. No more vending machine junk food. Schedule your own flexible time and benefits.<br />
<span id="more-499"></span><br />
3. You can put an end to mindless work like filing. Instead, choose to work on what you want and outsource the rest.</p>
<p>4. You can choose to work for someone else while you grow your business so that you maintain a stable income, if you want. Your choice. Switch when you’re ready.</p>
<p>5. You can say “Goodbye!” to job security issues and the fear of unemployment or being fired. You can run your business in good times and in bad, getting plenty of help as needed.</p>
<p>6. You can gain a newfound sense of pride in being an entrepreneur and in your accomplishments. And you can give back and help others achieve this as well.</p>
<p>7. You can gain self confidence to face even the most challenging hurdles in life with a lot less heartaches and headaches and stress.</p>
<p>8. You can say “Goodbye!” to earnings’ ceiling. The sky’s the limit you’re your own business.</p>
<p>9. You can enjoy greater travel and other benefits from your home-based business with your own products to use and share with family members.</p>
<p>10. You can stop waiting to retire and planning to retire in later years. Plan what you want to earn and go get ‘em!</p>
<p>So take another look at home-based business opportunities. You may find many reasons to give yourself another chance with your own Coastal Vacations travel business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the holiday season ramping up, shoppers are coming online in droves. In fact, online holiday sales this year are predicted to increase twenty percent, as consumers grow more and more accustomed to the ease and convenience of shopping online. Internet business advisor Ana Rincon (http://OnlineBusiness.About.com) reveals ten tips for increasing your online sales over the holiday season:</p>
<p>1.Fine-tune your website. The biggest buying season of the year is not the time to have a slow-loading site or pages not found—busy holiday shoppers won’t wait around.</p>
<p>2.Guide your customers’ experience. Organize your products in a way that makes it easy for customers to zero in on what they’re looking for. Group items into categories such as “Gifts for Him,” “Gifts for Her,” “Toys for Ages 2-4,” etc.</p>
<p>3.Offer gift certificates. Explains Rincon, “Many buyers don’t know exactly what to get, and a gift certificate is a great alternative.” With online delivery, buyers can purchase all the way up to, and even on Christmas Day and still have purchases reach their recipients on time.<br />
<span id="more-477"></span><br />
4.Offer gift wrapping and gift cards. People shop online to save time and avoid hassles. They don’t have time to physically receive the gifts they order, and then wrap and resend them. By providing this service, you add value to your products and gain a competitive edge.</p>
<p>5.Offer wish lists. Many shopping cart systems already have a wish list feature built in. Shoppers should be able to choose what they like from your site, create a list, and store it there for other buyers to reference, or have it emailed directly to them.</p>
<p>6.Make shipping and delivery information highly visible on your website. Holiday shoppers’ number one concern is that their recipients’ packages arrive on time. Make it easy for your customers—tell them exactly how many days they have left to order and be sure their gifts will get there by Christmas.</p>
<p>7.Offer free shipping. You’re not taking a loss here—you’re just building those costs into your price. According to a survey by http://Shopping.org, seventy-five percent of consumers view free shipping as a major selling point. When they don’t have to calculate those extra fees, it’s that much simpler and more convenient for them. So in the end, both you and your customer are happy.</p>
<p>8.Utilize pay-per-click advertising. This type of marketing produces quick turnaround. Decide on your budget and keywords, but be flexible as you go and make adjustments as needed.</p>
<p>9.Build an email campaign around the holidays. Suggests Rincon, “Use your newsletters and emails to share gift tips and announce special sales… Mix informational newsletters with promotions and product specials.”</p>
<p>10.Offer multiple payment options. Buyers expect to be able to pay by credit card, and PayPal and other alternative payments are becoming more widespread. You severely limit your sales and your customers when you only accept payments by money order or wire transfer, so offer as many options as you can.</p>
<p>With online sales projected at 33 billion dollars this holiday season, there’s plenty of profit to go around the e-commerce industry. By employing these simple techniques in your e-business, you can maximize your share of those sales and cash in on the year’s busiest retail season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Table Mountain</p>
<p>Table Mountain is arguably the most iconic image of Cape Town. Standing at the top should top everyone’s list of ‘things to do before you die’. Take the leisurely route in the slowly revolving cable car, or alternately hike to the top. Either way you won’t regret it when you get to enjoy the sight of Cape Town and surrounds from the Table top!</p>
<p>2. V &amp; A Waterfront</p>
<p>Situated at the Cape Town Harbour basin, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is the most popular venue in Cape Town. With a wide variety of shops, numerous restaurants and cafes, wine bars, sites of historical and cultural interest and local craft workshops, you’ll never have a dull moment here, day or night.</p>
<p>3. Wine Farms</p>
<p>From the farms of Constantia in the southern suburbs to the expansive estates of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franshoek, the Cape boasts some of the most beautiful wine farms in the world. And it’s a well known fact that they produce some of the finest wines in the world too! A visit to Cape Town is incomplete without at least one day spent on the wine route, sampling fine wines, learning about the history and methodology of winemaking from the experts, enjoying a sumptuous lunch along the way and coming back laden with some great purchases for the cellar back home.</p>
<p>4. Robben Island</p>
<p>Site of former president Nelson Mandela’s prison cell where he was confined for many years prior to his historical release, Robben Island has a very special atmosphere. Take a ferry from the Waterfront and learn from the guided tours about the other men who shared the Island with Madiba, and about the incredible man himself.</p>
<p>5. Cape Point</p>
<p>Who wouldn’t want to say they have stood at the tip of the great African continent? Once inside the reserve you can make your way to the main parking area and stroll up the wide paths to the top lookout point. From here the view is breathtaking &#8211; sheer cliffs drop to the crashing waves far below while azure waters spread out as far as the eye can see to a hazy horizon. On a clear day, you really can see forever! Enjoy lunch at the excellent restaurant or drive to one of the sheltered beaches for a picnic.<br />
<span id="more-454"></span><br />
6. Boulder’s Beach Penguin Colony</p>
<p>Home of a colony of so-called ‘Jackass’ Penguins (so named for the donkey-like braying sound they make) Boulder’s Beach is situated just past Simon’s Town. Apart from great penguin viewing, the beach is picturesque and great for families with its sheltered bay.</p>
<p>7. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens</p>
<p>These beautiful gardens at the foot of Table Mountain were established in 1913. The gardens only grow indigenous South African plants, and cover an area of 528 hectares. Picnic on the green lawns next to bubbling streams, or take advantage of a guided tour.</p>
<p>8. Top Stones Gemstone Factory and Scratch Patch</p>
<p>Visit one of the Top Stone Gemstone Factories at Glen Cairn or the Waterfront, for a sparkling and enchanting experience. At the Glen Cairn factory you can view the stones being washed polished and crafted into curios or jewelry. Trawl through the walk-in Scratch Patch ‘caves’ and select your own treasures to take home.</p>
<p>9. Two Oceans Aquarium</p>
<p>Located at the V&amp;A Waterfront, this is South Africa’s largest aquarium. It has great exhibitions and a strong educational component. The shark feeding times are always popular with visitors who love to get a close up view of these awesome creatures without getting wet!</p>
<p>10. District Six Museum</p>
<p>Back in the 1960’s the apartheid government demolished the District Six neighborhoods, displacing the residents. Of all the museums to see in Cape Town, this memorial to the glory days and tragic history of District Six is one of the most interesting and colourful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer brings with it warmth and high humidity. The season also offers the opportunity for heat weary folks to escape to the mountains or beaches for a well deserved rest. In North Carolina, there are several beach destinations worth visiting; nine top sites are featured here.</p>
<p>1. The Outer Banks &#8212; Perhaps the most well known of all the beaches in the Carolinas, the Outer Banks offers much history as well as attractive beaches. You can visit the spot where the Wright Brothers first took flight in Kill Devil Hills as well as the first European settlement on Roanoke Island.</p>
<p>2. Bald Head Island &#8212; Got feet? You&#8217;ll need them here as no cars are allowed on the island. You can use an electric golf cart to get  around, however.</p>
<p>3. Atlantic Beach &#8212; Located on the eastern end of the Bogue Banks this resort is part of the Crystal Coast. Historic Fort Macon State  Park is a popular nearby attraction.<br />
<span id="more-436"></span><br />
4. Figure Eight Island &#8212; Got money? You&#8217;ll need it to visit this private, exclusive resort.</p>
<p>5. Oak Island &#8212; Located in Brunswick County, below Wilmington, Oak  Island is one the few south facing beaches along the east coast. Lots of golf courses in the area including at least one champion course.</p>
<p>6. Sunset Beach &#8212; Just three miles in length, Sunset Beach is the southern most of the Brunswick Island beaches. The only link to the mainland is a one lane pontoon bridge. Wow!</p>
<p>7. Carolina Beach &#8212; Located between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, Carolina Beach features shopping, a boardwalk, a state aquarium, and the Carolina Beach State Park.</p>
<p>8. Topsail Beach &#8212; If beachfront high rise developments turn you off, then this is the place for you as strict zoning laws rule the land. During the 1700s pirates roamed the nearby waters. No word on whether Blackbeard&#8217;s treasure has ever been found.</p>
<p>9. Wrightsville Beach &#8212; This busy beach is frequented by Raleigh area residents as it is the closest beach to the state capitol. Still, out of state visitors find it to be a favorite resort.</p>
<p>From the Virginia border to South Carolina, North Carolina&#8217;s beaches offer visitors much more than sand and ocean breezes. Pick one of these destinations and you will truly have plenty of fun in the sun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just beneath the high mountain range of the African Atlas is the red city of Morocco known as Marrakech.  With a culture that has grown to be so vibrant, free, and pure, who would have known that this imperial city only started as another pit stop for medieval caravans?  However, regardless of its humble beginnings, you&#8217;ll still be bound by its magic spell with the warmth of its people, inspiring history, and colorful tradition. Standing in the middle of the red city walls, you&#8217;ll know for sure that you&#8217;re in for a timeless escape with Marrakech travel. But to make the most out of your journey to this spellbinding exotic destination, here are the top eight things you shouldn&#8217;t dare miss on your Marrakech travel:</p>
<p>1. Relive the memories of the old city.<br />
The 13th century walls that surround the medina is reminiscent of ancient struggles and battles that took place in Morocco. A tour around the age-old fortresses, gates, and tanneries in your Marrakech travel is a good photo opportunity for tourists. Not only that, you&#8217;ll also enjoy the inviting spirit of the modern city amidst the well-preserved relics, natural wonders, and architectural pieces of the past. With friendly people and bustling activities around the corner, you&#8217;ll enjoy every minute of this experience.<br />
<span id="more-417"></span><br />
2. Get lost with the crowd at Djemaa el Fna.<br />
This large square that lies at heart of the old city is teeming with too many spectacles and surprises. From bargain shopping to snake charming, you&#8217;ll never have a dull moment in your Marrakech travel. Open your eyes to a lot of things, which include juggling acts, musical performances, as well as belly dancing. You don&#8217;t even have to worry about losing your way back to your hotel. As overwhelmingly large as it can be, the square offers a winding escape to interesting sites around the city.</p>
<p>3. Take a spiritual retreat.<br />
They say that paying a visit to popular trails of mosques, churches, and other places of worship is a wonderful Marrakech travel experience that can be life-altering. However, for those who only wish to satisfy their curiosities, time is well-spent in admiring some of the most exquisite architectural designs in the world. You&#8217;ll be stunned how Marrakech was able to preserve the intricate details and premedieval style of these structures but much more, how it preserved its solemnity. The famous pilgrimage for the &#8220;seven saints&#8221; is also found in this city, while the Saadian tombs is highly recommended by most tourist guides.</p>
<p>4. Shop and explore its very best.<br />
Popular market stands also known as &#8220;souks&#8221; offer the best treat for bargain shopping. The bazaar is usually filled with exotic finds such as metal works, wood pieces, baskets, and leather sets&#8211; some of which, you&#8217;ll only find in Morocco. You&#8217;ll also be advised not to end your Marrakech travel without a belt, jewelry, carpet, or any form of clothing that are found in the souk.</p>
<p>5. Take a journey to the past.<br />
Marrakech is one of the best places to find age-old ceramics, paintings, mosaic, jewelries, and fabrics. Its museums house prestigious artifacts that date back to more than a thousand years. Manuscripts, contemporary arts, and traditional clothing are among the well-preserved collection.  You may also take note in your Marrakech travel experience that museums here are not just brick-and-mortar structures but are also adorned with verdant gardens.</p>
<p>6. Stay in luxurious Riads in Marrakech.<br />
Your Marrakech travel experience will not be complete without staying in the city&#8217;s famous Riads. These are residential facilities that top any 5-star hotel in modern cities. With luxurious rooms, overlooking views of the fountain, roof top terraces, and exquisite decorations, Riads are one of the best reasons to stay in Marrakech.</p>
<p>7. Experience the colorful tradition of Morocco.<br />
Embrace the Moroccan culture through entertainment activities and festivals in Marrakech. The Popular Arts Festival is a good way to add more life to your Marrakech travel adventures. Have a great time with fortune-tellers, fire swallowers, and acting troupes in the culmination of this festivity. Apart from carnival spectacles, you&#8217;ll also witness the horse-riding parade known as Fantasia.</p>
<p>8. Treat yourself to fun-filled activities.<br />
Popular streams of casinos, discos, and bars are found in the city. But remember, alcoholic drinks are not allowed. Chances are, you&#8217;ll have to stay sober all night. Apart from enjoying Western hits and Moroccan pop music, your Marrakech travel adventure can never be complete without experiencing a taste of its gourmet paradise. Most cafes and restaurants in Marrakech offer a fusion of flavors from home grown recipes to international dishes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No doubt about it, camping can be fun.  But, if you don&#8217;t pay attention to safety, your fun camping outing can turn into the camping trip from Hell.  What are some of the most important camping safety tips you should know?</p>
<p>1.  Plan Ahead.   Do your research.  Make sure the campground you&#8217;ve chosen is a safe one.  Make sure there are no current fire dangers.  Check out the weather.  Any health alerts in the area, such as dangerous bacteria count in the water, or outbreak of any rodent-carrying viruses?</p>
<p>2.  Pack the Emergency Kit.  Be prepared for cuts, bee stings and allergic reactions. Bring antihistamines, antiseptic, bug sprays and insect repellents, pain relievers, bandages, sunscreen and if possible, a snake-bite kit.</p>
<p>An emergency kit should also include the following items:  Whistle, flashlight, compass, a small Swiss Army knife, razor blades, tweezers, magnifying glass, sterilized water packets for cleaning wounds, emergency blanket, thermometer, cold pack, and a mirror.  A mirror can be helpful when signaling for help.  Some people also use a CD.  If you can afford them, a pair of night-vision goggles can also be a help in an emergency.</p>
<p>3.  Arrive at the Campsite Early.  Arriving early, with ample daylight, allows you to examine the entire campsite and set up while there&#8217;s still light.  Be on the lookout for sharp objects, broken glass, huge ant beds, branches, poison ivy, hazardous terrain and bees.<br />
<span id="more-396"></span><br />
4.  Build your Tent on a Safe Spot.  Make sure your tent is flame-resistant and keep it at a safe distance from the campfire.  Try to pitch your tent on elevated land so it doesn&#8217;t flood in case of rain.  In order to keep the bugs out, make sure you close your tent immediately upon entering and leaving.</p>
<p>5.  Go Over Safety Issues with Family Members. Make sure family members are aware of poisonous plants in the area.  Be sure the children understand that they should never drink from any stream or river, regardless of how clean it may look.  Finally, issue each member of your family a whistle for emergency use only.</p>
<p>6.  Be Fire Safe.  Make sure there are no current fire restrictions before building any fire, and don&#8217;t build a fire if there are strong winds.  When you do build a fire, keep it in the fire ring, and make sure there are no flammable items near the fire.  Do not use heating devices or candles inside the tent.</p>
<p>Never leave your campfire unattended, and keep the area clear of leaves and twigs.  Before going to bed, make sure the campfire is property put out by drowning it with water.</p>
<p>7.  Be Aware of Wild Animals.  Be sure to familiarize yourself and your family with safety concerning wild animals.  Wild animals have acute senses of smell.  Make sure you keep your campsite clean and free of food or garbage which might attract them.  It is best to store all food, garbage and strong-smelling items (such as soap or toothpaste) in bear-resistant containers or your vehicle.   Keep your sleeping bag and tent completely free of food and food odors, and set up your cooking and eating area at least 100 yards from your tent.  Do not go to sleep in the same clothing you cooked in, as even the cooking smells can attract bears and other wild animals.</p>
<p>While it may seem like attention to safety takes the fun out of camping, in reality it helps ensure that your camping vacation is a fun time for the whole family.  And, isn&#8217;t having fun the point of camping?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a life that is dictated by routines, vacations and travelling is a thing that helps keep us sane. The idea of taking annual leaves regularly makes a lot of sense. The last thing any of us want, on his or her travel, is a non-compatible travel partner. If you are on your own, traveling with a friend or looking for a travel companion, a few tips might help you from having a trip to hell. Here are seven tips for traveling as a couple:</p>
<p>• Decide upfront why you are going and what you want to get out of the trip.</p>
<p>• Money has the potential of destroying the best of friendships, let alone create problems if your travel companion is a mere acquaintance. Its best to decide what, where, and how much you will be spending on mutual expenses.<br />
<span id="more-379"></span><br />
• Prepare a tentative itinerary; places you want to visit, things to do and time to be spent at each location.</p>
<p>• Travelling with some one has benefits, but even then, you should get sometime to yourself. Make allowance for time that each will be spending on their own.</p>
<p>• Every one enjoys different aspects of travel. It’s good to figure out each others preferences before getting stuck together on a rather costly trip. Some of us are night people while others can’t keep their eyes open after dark. Some like everything decided and planned, others are more spontaneous. Some like to indulge in the culture while others prefer to immerse in the sights only. Make sure you and your companion share some views, if not all, regarding travelling.</p>
<p>• Unless you are a 100% sure about the person you are travelling with, pack some earplugs, they can be a life line during an otherwise sleepless night.</p>
<p>• Have an open mind &amp; a generous heart. Give the other person some space &amp; make the most of your solo time as well. Have fun and keep it enjoyable for both.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Going back to Roman times, risks have been shared during times of tragedy and unforeseen circumstances, such as earthquakes, floods and the like. The first formal and recorded insurance company, Lloyd&#8217;s of London, was formed in 1769 and their founding principal remains intact today &#8211; to gather the premiums of clients as a pool of resources in order to return to clients who experience unexpected and unforeseen but covered events. So, that is the secret really, plan for the unexpected and unforeseen and make sure you&#8217;re covered, especially when you&#8217;re travelling. Whether your trip is a quick one or a round the world cruise, there are many good reasons for travel insurance. Here are just 7 things you should do before you buy your travel insurance:</p>
<p>Whatever you do, please explore the market and educate yourself with all the terms and terminologies of the travel insurance cover that will help you to avail the best travel insurance.</p>
<p>Certainly check what is included in your travel insurance policy but most importantly, check what is EXCLUDED from your travel insurance policy.</p>
<p>Research the area you are going to. What is the weather likely to be like? Is there any danger of hurricanes or tropical storms? Floods? How about Mosquito borne disease? What is the crime rate like? Whatever the perceived dangers your research uncovers then make sure that your travel insurance covers you for that eventuality. It is no good after the event to find out that you are not covered for rabid dog attacks (because there are so many in that particular area).<br />
<span id="more-362"></span><br />
Discuss Your Existing Medical Conditions and Requirements &#8211; You need to carefully assess your likely medical requirements and make sure that these are declared to the travel insurance company.</p>
<p>If you intend to drive make sure that you are adequately covered. Many hire companies charge astronomic excesses in case of an accident. Make sure that you insured for that excess (and it will be a lot cheaper than paying the hire company&#8217;s rates for that same cover).</p>
<p>Make sure you have the necessary documentation for travel in that country. Take Spain for example which is part of the European community and will offer free health care say to a UK citizen on holiday or living there. There are certain conditions, one of which is that you must have a UK E111 form, if you don&#8217;t have that, you will not be treated. You must also go to a national health hospital, which are not in abundance in certain areas of Spain.</p>
<p>If travelling in Europe, it may pay to get a EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) as this will remove a lot of worry should you need any emergency treatment.</p>
<p>Okay, so there you have it. 7 things to do before buying travel insurance for the next trip you make. The other alternative of course is to not take out travel insurance, or to stay at home. Now, there&#8217;s an idea. But seriously, as always when taking out insurance, especially travel insurance, read the fine print first. Importantly, find out before you go what is excluded, not just included. So, always read the fine print. For example, accidental coverage is not provided in case of drunken driving, driving under the influence of narcotic substances etc. Exclusions are also provided for accidents during risky sports like bungee jumping, car racing, (insert for your favourite potentially dangerous sport here), scuba diving, white water rafting, flying (except as passenger in regular airliners), gliding, skiing, bike racing, diving, mountaineering, windsurfing etc. The list goes on. That means in case of accidents in these situations the insurance company is not liable to pay any amount to the insured.</p>
