Free Attractions Worth Checking Out In Los Angeles

By Jesse Fairbanks


If you're on a budget whilst on a holiday in Los Angeles, you should check out some of the attractions that are either totally free or that would only cost you a meal at most. Indeed, 2 of the beaches in this area are world renowned. The first would be the Venice Beach which is extremely popular among sun-lovers for its soft and beautiful sand as well as the fun people that frequent this place. The second would be the Santa Monica Beach which has crystal clear water and one of the most spectacular shorelines around the world.

El Pueblo De Los Angeles is a forty four acre compound that includes a historically accurate replication of a Spanish village. This allows visitors to see what life was like in the region before the city became a sprawling metropolis that is home to millions. You can spend a few hours exploring the landscape and staring in wonder at the attractions that are found.

The Griffith Observatory will take hours to fully see and experience, and there is a planetarium as well as many other exhibits on display. There are also telescopes that are available for public use, and a cafe is available for those who need refreshment. Some of the most beautiful and scenic views in the area can be found here at no cost. This is a great attraction whether you want to know more about the planets or you want to relax in scenic beauty.

Of course, you should never miss out on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame here in Los Angeles. It is easily one of the most well known locations in the world attracting tens of thousands of visitors every year. There are many stars along the sidewalks and each represents 1 out of over 2,000 artists of all times and ages. The names of the latest celebrities from the recent movies as well as those who have already passed away will be present here. Many of these names might be unrecognizable to you though due to the immense volume of them all.

For your Los Angeles stay, it is highly possible for you to have a great time here without spending much, if any, at all. This is because many attractions here are completely free of charge and you'll be able to do tons of things at a tiny cost, or none at all in some instances.

The Several Modes Of Thailand Holiday Villas And Guidelines In Choosing

By Karl B Anderson


If you ever wanted to escape to Phuket or Samui or Hua Hin or Pattaya for a holiday, consider renting any of the Thailand holiday villas available in this great exotic destination. Whether right smack a stone's throw away from the shorelines or on a hill with sweeping view of the sea, a villa gives you more privacy and more room to create a truly memorable experience. Though there are wide-ranging options in the area, it is imperative that you plan your vacation well, organize your dream location and itinerary, and research on various players in the market to guarantee getting not only the most comfy but as well as one that will safeguard everyone's security.

Unlike hotel accommodation, holiday villas in Thailand offer a home away from home ambiance where privacy is at its best. Most usually come with two or three bedrooms enough to cater a family or group of friends. With a working kitchen, one can simply decide to cook own meals or make use of luxurious personal chef inclusion to prepare your food right at where you are staying. Prices can also be negotiated when thinking of doing an extended stay and definitely is more flexible than hotels in terms of restrictions.

Offering almost-same privacy and luxury of hotels, a beachfront villa often are located within or nearest to a beach resort. Sand and sea will be saying hello right at your doorstep which, by the way, comes with its own en-suite lavatory, kitchen or kitchenette, living and dining all in a bungalow-type or native-styled two or three bedroom accommodation. A sundeck or a terrace always comes handy for tanning and fun. Do check for AC amenity as tropical climate can be too hot in the summer.

If you are in for breathtaking view and ultimate romanticism, a seaview villa will be a perfect choice. This one is often perched on a nearby hillside with sweeping views of the ocean and the white sandy beach below. The beach where all the fun happens is usually accessible on foot or by bike.

When money is no object, head off to a luxury villa and start living a dream albeit for a few days. Take in both panoramic views and access to exclusive beachfronts and amenities. Enjoy topnotch services of a personal maid, driver, chef and equally exceptional spa-like indulgence. Whether day or night, you can simply lounge on your very own Jacuzzi or infinity pool right smack on your own sundeck.

When the need for a vacation is great yet the funds are a little squat, a low-budgeted villa is yours for the taking. These humble accommodations are often seen in villages away from the hurly burly of hotspots. This may not be as luxurious in terms of amenities or as panoramic, yet they offer memorable experience that will make one appreciate the Thai's culture and lifestyle more.

How I Enjoyed My Summer Trip

By William King


I have to tell you, I simply love traveling with my family. When I was a young kid my family and I used to travel all summer long. Sometimes we would head up to the California coast for some fishing. But there were times when we felt like camping or hiking. We had an absolute ball no matter what we did though.

Now that I have a family of my own, I want to continue those same traditions. I believe that kids are indoors too much these days you know. I don't want to be like that and I do not want my family to be like that either. I truly think it makes people appreciate life more if they can see the world a bit.

Last year we went to Lake Tahoe for a long week. In case you haven't been there, you would really love it. You won't believe your eyes when you see how clear this lake is. You also won't believe how cold it is on your feet.

We decided to try and avoid staying in a hotel this trip though. Hotels are never much fun, but in Tahoe they are worse. The thing is, you smell like smoke the whole time because the gamers like to smoke a lot. The other thing is that you pay a fortune to eat in the restaurants in there.

But my solution was simple. After a bit of looking around, I found some really nice rental homes we could stay in. I was fearful that I would end up spending more money in a rental house, but I was quite wrong. I honestly saved quite a bit of money by staining in a rental house to my shock.

We also managed to save a lot of money on our eating. With full kitchen access, we just needed some groceries and we were good to go for the week. It was fantastic.

I believe we may head back this coming winter as well. I thought that trying out some snow skiing would be a blast. I hate cold weather, but I know that skiing equipment keeps you really warm, and we would have a fireplace to use too.

Argentina to Paraguay via Brazil

By Jonny Blair


Do you want to successfully cross the border between Argentina and Paraguay?

OK so there are a few different ways to cross the border between Argentina and Paraguay but I did the route from Puerto Iguazu, ARGENTINA to Ciudad del Este, PARAGUAY. In December 2010. Although in hindsight, the border crossing seemed easy compared to others I've been to, there is still a need to get things right, read on and I'll explain exactly what I did. This was one of the oddest border crossings I have ever done, for one reason and that is that in the space of 45 minutes I was in three countries...confused? Yes it did confuse me a bit...this is the first of many reports on crossing world borders from my various travels...

Firstly - you get a bus at Puerto Iguazu bus station with PARAGUAY written as the destination on it. These buses are yellow in colour and single decker with the words El Practico written on them. They leave quite regularly throughout the day. I crossed on a Sunday morning, around 10 am. I don't think that you can buy tickets in advance, so just check out of your hostel or hotel in the small town of Puerto Iguazu and go to the bus station (there is just one main bus station in Puerto Iguazu). I would recommend doing this early in the morning - I have no idea if the border is open at night - nor if it would be worth risking it.

I was alone and my plan was simply get into Paraguay, have a quick look at Ciudad del Este and then head to Asuncion.

Ciudad del Este, the current name for this city, which literally means City of The East, is on the other side of the river from Argentina. The river acts as the border, and the bridge is the preferred crossing. As this is a post about the border crossing, I won't digress but I had already been to Tres Fronteras (the point where you can see all three countries). It gets confusing when you realise that your bus to Paraguay goes VIA BRAZIL.

So I paid 5 Argentine Pesos for the bus and asked with the driver to confirm if he could stop at the border for me to get my passport stamped. I was the only person on the bus that wasn't from either Brazil, Argentina or Paraguay. Those three countries have some kind of agreement between each other visa wise.

I actually reckoned a lot of "backpackers" (I dislike that term, but I actually am one...) would be going from Iguazu through into Paraguay next to see the popular Ituapu Dam and the Jesuit Ruins in Trinidad. But after talking to around 30 people at the hostel (the marvellous Hostel Inn Iguazu Falls) I realised not one of them was going to Paraguay, nor did they want to go. A few of my fellow travellers even said to me "why would you want to go to Paraguay?"! With that kind of statement it that makes me realise that some of us are avid travellers and some are just not up for the travel melarkey. An avid traveller will literally go anywhere, anytime. Someone who is not in the avid traveller mode, will be much more choosy about where they go. I'll go anywhere. Whether these guys in the hostel wanted to head to Paraguay or not was up to them, but I was now alone and there were no other "backpackers" on my bus or in the station that morning at all.

Of course to travel in South America you should have some grasp of Spanish at least (I studied in Montevideo but my Spanish is shocking) so you can chat to locals and bus drivers. Once I saw the "queue for Paraguay" developing, I joined it, bag laden to the core and sweaty. Importantly I had my passport in hand and all my money changed into Paraguayan Guarani. This is important - change ALL your Argentine Pesos (except for the price of the bus) into Paraguayan Guarani in Puerto Iguazu. You can even do this on a Sunday morning - I found a bank/exchange place in town at 9am to get mine changed.

After boarding the bus you head out of the town of Puerto Iguazu to the border bridge into Brazil. Brazil? Yes! don't be worried at this point as you are still on the bus to Paraguay! At the Argentina exit customs place you have to ensure you ask your driver to let you out to get your passport stamped. Most of your fellow passengers on the bus won't need to get off - on my trip they were mostly locals.

Get off the bus, grab your bags and get your passport stamped and straight back on the bus. Then the bus will cross the Iguazu River into Brazil. But the bus will not stop at the Brazilian border control. The driver of the bus does this route all the time and the sign on the front of the bus tells you that you are heading to "Paraguay Directo" (directly to Paraguay). You have arrived officially in Brazil, but with no proof of it as you are in transit on a bus!

You will drive through the city of Foz Do Iguacu, you can read on my website many more of my reports on the actual waterfalls and my first trip across into Brazil. Most people on this route will have just been to the awesome Iguazu Falls.

After about 20 minutes in Brazil on the bus you arrive at the border bridge. Again you will see a border checkpoint here, but you will by pass it. This is the Brazilian border point. Your eyes will remind you that you were officially in Brazil for 20 minutes, but your passport will not. There is no requirement to get your passport stamped at either of these Brazilian passport checkpoints, BUT once your bus gets onto the bridge, keep your eyes peeled for the actual Paraguay entrance border checkpoint. You should do this because the driver will not stop there, so you need to tell him to stop there for you to get out and get your passport stamped.

Unfortunately when you tell the driver to stop and you get out, he won't wait for you as the passengers onboard Don't want to hang around waiting for a gringo to get their passport stamped. You get out and are immediately in the madness of Ciudad del Este, while your bus continues on its route.

I should also mention that you are urged not to cross this border by foot, mainly because of of the risk of robberies and personal safety issues. The bus is only 5 Pesos you might as well get the bus! I ran to the front of the bus and shouted for the driver to stop, this was about 300 metres ahead of the checkpoint. I just expected him to stop soon but of course he didn't so I got out on my own. I actually asked him if he could wait for me but I soon realised he wouldn't, so I had to grab both my bags. This was my amazing arrival into Paraguay!

OK so I was now in Paraguay but I still had to find the place to get my entry stamp on my passport - and it was far from obvious - at the back of a building site on the Paraguayan side of the bridge. I actually wish I had made a video of my trip that morning - looking back it was just madness!. It was hot, busy, stuffy and I was bag laden, lonely, lost and inspired! Luckily within a few minutes I arrived in the passport immigration place and obviously I was the only person in there. They stamped my entry quickly and it was easy here I was in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay! In the previous hour I had now been "in" three countries. Though I had no proof of my Brazilian bus journey (save for a video I took!).

I can't promise you that this is the simplest way across the border into Paraguay from Brazil (or Argentina) but I loved it partly because I was the only real traveller about. I could tell instantly that Ciudad del Este was a crazy city. Lots of locals asked me if I wanted to buy stuff. You can stay a night or two in this border city known as Ciudad del Este if you want but I had no time to linger as I wanted to get to Asuncion fairly quickly.

By chance I found a taxi driver hanging around opposite the Immigration Office (he was on a corner where food and all sorts were being sold) and he could drive me to the main bus station on the edge of Ciudad del Este for a fee of 3-4 US Dollars I think (this was thousands in Paraguayan Guarani!). Get yourself off the busy streets and a taxi to the bus station if you're heading out of Ciudad del Este.

I hope this series of border crossings will be useful for fellow travellers - please let me know if you have crossed the same borders as me and whether you experienced the same thing or not.

Safe travels!

What about a game of golf afterward? Probably a trip to a local art gallery or an outside concert in the park. You'll need a calming day before you decide to take the kids to Disney world the next day. Indeed, you can perform all that from a hotel room, exactly why is a Florida villa the place for you? Relieved you inquired.

Villas were originally the country homes for Italian nobility and the wealthy. Now, celebrities like George Clooney have one and never seem to want to leave. After two days in Florida villas, you'll never want to leave either. As either a part of a larger resort, or isolated from the usual tourist hotels and areas, a Florida villa holiday is something out of the ordinary you will never forget.

To find one, you need to start looking Florida vacation websites by the city you intend to stay near and filter the results by 'villa'. When you're there, you can sort by the lease you want to pay, the number of bedrooms, private swimming pool, or even if you want the kitchen stocked and prepared for you on arrival.

No matter where you decide to go, it's never a long drive to a baseball game, golf course, horse track or a stock car race. There's also that little football team called the Dolphins waiting for you.

There are some criminals in foreign cities that pretend to be police officers, so be careful. Never give them your original passport as you may never see it again. If you are asked to travel to any offices, insist on walking. Do not get rides with strangers.

Alternatives to hiring a campervan from Britz

By Tim Ahern


If you're looking to hire a campervan or motorhome in Australia, then you can guarantee that in your search, you will come across the company "Britz". However, before your commit to hiring anything from them, great as they are, you should at least consider some of the 60 alternative companies in the market. Below you can find out about some other well known, and not so well known alternatives.

Undoubtedly, Britz is the leading player in the Australian market. Not only do they have the powerful "Britz" brand, but also some of Australia's other famous brands like Kea Campers, Maui Campervans and Mighty Campers. Probably the biggest competitor to these is Apollo Campervans. The largest privately owned chain in Australia, it consists of multiple brands: Apollo, Cheapa Campa and Hippy Campers. These 2 companies alone combine to have the 7 largest and best known brands across Australia (and New Zealand).

If searching for a campervan rental in the budget price range, you are going to find Hippy Campers and Mighty Campers, however you are also going to come across Wicked Campers. Wicked are a key player in the budget market but make little impact on the other market segments, so if looking for a mid-range or luxury style, don't bother with Wicked. Wicked have a reputation for being unruly and unreliable. They, as a company, are known bend rules and ethics and also have a reputation for under-servicing their vehicles. However, they are also dead cheap and the vehicles work often enough that they have expanded their fleet across the world in to many, many countries. They are a business model success story. However, if the stories you hear are true and you are looking for a budget alternative, then try looking in to Awesome Campers or Travellers Autobarn. Awesome Campers has had rapid expansion in the last couple of years so must be doing things to keep people coming back and Travellers Autobarn has been winning awards for some years now. Put them on your list to research for prices.

But it is really the mid to upper price range where Britz is king of the campervans. So who else is worth taking a look at in this market range? Well, if, for now, we are looking an alternatives to the Apollo family as well, there are still plenty to choose from. One worth mentioning in the luxury range is Around Australia Motorhomes. This crowd doesn't skimp when it comes to vehicle quality with all their vehicles being top of the line Winnebago's to satisfy the traveller that wants everything. If you are in the luxury motorhome market for you next trip, then definitely look in to getting a price of these guys. They are family owned and large enough to have plenty of options, but small enough to care.

Another mid-range company worth mentioning is Energi Motorhomes. This company has been creeping up in reputation for some time. They don't seem to have a massive marketing machine so don't seem to come up regularly in Google searches (unless you are specifically looking for them), but they are worth the effort to look in to. Alternatively, if you are looking around at web sites that give booking results for multiple companies, then keep searching until you find a site that includes a price for Energi in the results. Until you include these guys in your search results you are not looking at the best field of options.

And one additional company to mention is Camperman Campervans. Camperman has been growing rapidly over the last couple of years, modernizing their fleet with the latest Toyota Hiace's which is the same model that all the major players use. Keep in mind, therefore, that you can get pretty much the same vehicle as the major players for a lesser price. It is something that should pique an interest when researching your campervan hire. They also have depots at all the major points along the east coast of Australia, so there is plenty of choice on where to pick up and where to drop off - just like Britz. All in all, they offer a strong alternative in the mid-priced campervan hire market, and should definitely be considered when doing price and style research.

So, if you are looking for a cheap campervan, a mid range motorhome or a luxury RV, there are definitely alternatives available to the dominant Britz range. I have only covered a handful here. If are hiring from Sydney, the largest Australian city, there are over 30 companies that have depots available to you. Make sure when researching which company to hire from, you look for a website that gives at least 20 different companies in the results for your search criteria.

The Easy Guide to Getting a Chinese Visa

By Jonny Blair


China is a must see country and I have become aware that a few travellers have found it difficult to obtain a visa, so I'm stepping in to tell you an easy way to get it - get yourself to Hong Kong. I will be heading to China again very soon and have recently had no problems getting my Chinese visas in Hong Kong. It borders China for a start!

In terms of defining a country, as far as I'm concerned Hong Kong is one. It has it's own currency, flag, visa regulations and national football team. It was also British for a while, and that ended back in 1997. These days, lots of nationalities can get to Hong Kong without a Visa. You will get a stamp on arrival at the airport. If you arrive on a UK passport you can stay for 180 days no problem! A lot of nationalities also get a 90 day entry stamp - check with your embassy.

Hong Kong is on the border with China, there are quite a few immigration checkpoints. Personally I have been to 5 of them recently. Before you go there however you need a China Visa!! Unless you are Chinese!

To get a China Visa in Hong Kong you don't need to look far! There are hundreds of Visa outlets in and around Hong Kong so seriously this city is the best place to get a Visa for the big next door neighbour!

In Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong there are countless guys on the streets who can all sort you out with a visa but while they may be legitimate, be careful. My advice is head to an agency and sort it out - there are loads of agencies and they will take you through the process.

The first time you decide to go to China it's best to simply apply for a single entry visa - saves time, money and hassle and you are not likely to be turned down. Recently though I have managed to get multiple entry and double entry visas - these are easier to get once you have a single entry already. I'm a budget backpacker for the most part but this doesn't mean I head to the embassy to get my China Visa. I find it quick, easy and less hassle to head to an agency such as China Travel Service to get mine. There are lots of these in Hong Kong and you shouldn't have any problems.

There's a host of these China Travel Services branches everywhere so you can't miss them!

The application for a China Visa is very straight forward and the process is a fast one in Hong Kong

Here's what you'll need:

1. Room for 2 pages in your passport which should also be valid for 6 months more

2. A recent passport photo

3. Your completed application form with these main points:

- entry point to China - put Shenzhen as then they know you are crossing a land border HK to China. 1000s of tourists do this route every day.

- They will ask for for expected date of travel - just make this up if you don't know when you are heading - you will have three months (I think) from the date printed on the visa to enter. No big deal this question.

- hotel or hostel you are staying in - again just write a hotel you know even if you have yet to book it. If they do ask for one, then you need to book one and show them but they have never asked me.

- They'll ask if you have medical insurance - write No in that section!

- what type of visa are you getting - most likely a single entry but if you want more just take your pick! you won't always guarantee to get your visa mind you.

4. Your payment - varies depending on nationality but shouldn't be more than 40 UK.

5. Hand the application in yourself.

You also have the option of collecting it in a rush in ONE working day (for an extra cost), 2-3 working days (extra cost) or just what I do - regular 4 - 7 working days (the normal price).

So that's it! Easy enough to get a visa for China in Hong Kong - go ahead and sort it out!

The border crossing is simple enough too.

Have a great time doing China and enjoying a lifestyle of travel!

By Jenner R Sanderson


Even the most experienced jet-setter may experience a touch of nervousness or stress when traveling to new places.

You do not always have to wander far to experience a fun weekend getaway. There are many things to do in your home state or perhaps one that is close by. You can support local businesses by traveling close to home. You might even find something really fun nearby that you didn't know about.

Booking your travel plans online is virtually a great way to get everything done at once. Travel sites aid in planning out your travel itinerary with minimal effort. You can book flights, from rental cars to flights to hotel rooms, all from the comfort of your computer. You can research your destination and reviews of potential lodgings.

Do not panic if your luggage is not arrived at your destination. Find the lost luggage claims center, keep your travel documents and passport on hand and complete all required paperwork as instructed by the baggage department personnel.Most of the time your luggage will be found, your baggage will be found and given back to you in short order.

If you are planning on leaving the country, make sure to purchase your electric adapter here before you leave. If you wait until you get to the airport to buy one, you are more than likely going to pay three or four times the normal price.

Try not to exchange currency when you are in a different country.There are better ways to get your foreign currency. Get foreign currency out of a bank's ATM. These machines will usually have the best exchange rates and are much less expensive than an exchange.

Create a packing list of what to pack.

Do not expect an airline will make you are flying. If you think they will come in handy, a blanket and a pillow to be comfortable while flying, a light blanket and comfortable headphones. You may also think of bringing some snacks with you.

Pack up all your suitcase the night before. Make all the preparations prior to flying. Missing your flight is something you never want to experience.

If you are traveling for an extended amount of time, make it a habit to get up from your seat and stretch about once every hour. Sitting for too long reduces blood flow and can cause health problems.

Always remember to tip any bell station and bellboys.

Try getting in a big workout before your flight. This can reduce the monotony of a long flights. Sitting the same position for long periods of time can cause leg and back cramps.

Losing track of a child is traumatic for any parent.

This can put a serious kink on your cruise adventure. You might end up in bed for days recovering from seasickness and not enjoying the cruise.If you know you are prone to seasickness in advance, you can buy the medicine at its normal price and bring it along.

Consult with a travel agent, as well as the embassy's website corresponding to the country in which you are going.

If you are thinking about going to a specific place that sells tickets, take advantage of this service and print your tickets off at home. The small fee per ticket for this service is worth it when you consider the lines that you can avoid. Also, if the park offers timed entry, as these can allow you to skip lines within the park as well.

When you are traveling in an airplane, it is important to wear shoes that are comfortable and easily removable. Security checks at checkpoints will ask you to remove them. Sandals of flip-flops are footwear that is ideal for air travel.

Weather can be a huge part in your travel plans.Check the weather forecast for your destination before traveling.

When selecting clothing to take on a trip, you should attempt to pack as many dark-colored clothes as possible. Dark clothing tends to conceal dirt and wrinkles, which are common on clothes when you are away from home for a long time. You can wear bright accessories to stay festive.

I Once Had An Amazing Holiday in Villa Cortes, Tenerife!

By Willoughby Jackson


My friends and I have always wanted to visit the island of Tenerife, the largest of the islands in the Canaries. In 2011, we have finally decided on a time to be able to go and we have booked our airline and hotel accommodations far in advance for guaranteed holiday accommodations.

Looking back at it now seems hilarious. Our excitement was overflowing that we couldn't sleep. Festive mood surrounded the entire airplane right after we landed in Tenerife. Excitement was so thick in the air as most of those on the plane with us were in Tenerife for the first time, too. We could not all wait to get into your swimsuits and bask under the Tenerife sun. The sun was high when we landed, and we did not want to wait any longer. Of course, we had to check ourselves into the hotel first.

Honestly, we entered into a long argument before we decided on the hotel that we would be checking in to. We finally settled on the Villa Cortes in Tenerife's Playa de Las Americas area. It's a Mexican-themed resort with 151 rooms. It was basically a self-contained community because it had five bars and had five restaurants located within the Hotel's premises. Before heading out to the beach, we were treated to a full course buffet by the hotel's competent chef and his staff. We all thought to ourselves, ?This is the life!? We knew right there that we were in for a treat, for the whole week that we would be spending in Tenerife!

We chose Playa de las Americas for a reason - it is the "party capital" of the island. For people like us, there is not a holiday in any place that is complete without trying the night life. Night after night, we found ourselves in one bar or two in the Veronicas, a full kilometer decked out with night clubs and places that offer live music, drinks and interaction with others. Our holiday to Tenerife was basically a week full of partying, great food and meeting new people who are also out on a holiday like us!

Of course, addititionally there is the beach. The Villa Cortes made it easy for us to head over to the beach and the ocean if we felt like it. It simply takes a few minutes' walk from our hotel room for us to reach the white sands that Tenerife is known for. If we wanted to dive into the ocean or just indulge in the sun, we only had to walk for a couple of minutes or so.

There are so many other places that holiday-goers should check out when visiting Tenerife. What you should do is check this highly recommended site out for more information. They should be able to help you out when planning your luxury holidays to Tenerife 2013. Ensure that you have a good one when you are there!

By Shannon L Smith


No self appreciating West Indian journeying to the USA would ever leave the residence with anything besides an empty travel suitcase in order to return with luggage loaded with "Americana." North Americans are often surprised at the quantity of bulging bags Bajans offer the ticket counters. They should comprehend; in Barbados, we do not have the likes of WalMart, KMart, Target, or any of the other significant merchants, so a trip to the North is always a buying occasion.

Often the ordinary and sketchy tour regimen is met an unforgettable encounter. Such a conflict happened on our trip from Washington to Barbados on BWEE today when we complied with Pearl Bhagan, a 36 year veteran in the airline industry. The resulting 5 mile higher drink were readying and wonderful. Pearl then assured an exquisite dinner to follow in an airplane . Okay, I'm paying attention.

A delicious starter of plum tomatoes over bib lettuce salad was adhered to by roasted duck bust, brand-new potatoes, and haricot verts (green beans to the culinarily challenged). Pearl expertly recommended that the duck be "sauced" with Cointreau and a splash of lime ... with, naturally, a dash of her tasty pepper dressing. When was the last time you listened to anybody extol an in-flight meal? BWEE is by far the leader when it pertains to airplane food, however this was great meals anywhere. In fact, BWEE, is the only UNITED STATE to Barbados airline company that still offers an appropriate meal and not a boxed institution lunch time. And the service, well, thanks Pearl for making our flight so unforgettable and enjoyable.

As a working mother and spouse with an incredibly requiring job, Pearl depends on her caretaker in Trinidad to cook many of the family dishes. As the web pages started to increase in phone numbers, the result was "Cooking area Conflict" by Pearl Bhagan - a simple to adhere to cookbook for the operating family.

As a functioning mom and wife in an extremely requiring task, Pearl relies on her maid in Trinidad to cook many of the family members dishes. Then she had to find an answer to her hubby's desire for Pearl's personal design of food preparation.

As the web pages started to grow in number, the result was "Kitchen Encounter" by Pearl Bhagan - a simple to follow cookbook for the working household.

Both USAIR and BWEE offer frequent packages to and from Barbados - occasionally greater than 60 % off - via their website. And if you're fortunate adequate to discover a Pearl, you'll be managed with correct West Indian hospitality.

Gu Lang Yu island in China

By Jonny Blair


Gu Lang Yu is a superb magical island off the coast of Xiamen in the Fujian Province of China. To reach it you take a ferry from Xiamen. It's a very different type of island and definitely worth a visit!

There is decent history on Gu Lang Yu, music and colonial wise. Indeed a few countries all influence the architecture on the streets of Gu Lang Yu. If you make it to Xiamen, most people head to Gu Lang Yu anyway and if you read on you'll see why it shouldn't be missed. An unusual part of your trip to Gu Lang Yu is the fact that to get there you have to pass through the island of Xiamen anyway! You can reach Xiamen by bus - I came from Shuyang Town and get a ferry from Xiamen seafront harbour direct to Gu Lang Yu.

How to get to Gu Lang Yu - take the ferry from the harbour front at Xiamen. It's easy to find and the cheapest ferry is not always a direct one - which adds to the journey since you get a great view of the harbour.

This by the way is totally worth doing - you get longer on the boat and you get to relax and check out the views. It's was a bright "sunshiney" day when we were there and the views were exceptional. The ferry cost us 15 RMB each for a return (in March 2012), but the prices vary and I've heard you can get a free ride at off peak times if you stand. It gets busy.

What can you see and do there? - Gu Lang Yu may be a small island but it's not short of tourist options that's for sure and here are my highlights (there are plenty more - you can go running if you like!):

1. Climb to Sunlight Rock - Climbing to the highest point of the island of Gulang Yu is recommended. Sunlight Rock is the English translation and the views are exquisite and the exercise of the climb up is also good for you. To get there basically follow signs for Sunlight Rock climb when you are on the island and you will find it, through the flurry of cobbled streets. Entrance to walk up there is a fee of 60 RMB which also includes a small memorial hall. It's a rip off and it's over-priced, especially for China, BUT I'd say do it as the view is spectacular as you can see.

2. All the Colonial Buildings - these buildings all over the streets of Gu Lang Yu have influences from all over the world. The architecture can be seen bearing similarities to Britain, Japan, Holland, Italy and Spain! It's a real special thing to see and rare to get this in China.

3. The Cobbled Streets - these cool, pokey streets get busy at times but make for an excellent stroll, plenty of restaurants and cafes too.

You will notice how Gu Lang Yu differs from mainland China particularly in the street layout, style and architecture. Enjoy your walk round it and take it all in - it's a novelty in China!

4. The Music Influence - Gu Lang Yu is famous for its music. It has been nicknamed 'Piano Island' by locals and the Chinese. Lots of famous pianists come from Gu Lang Yu, which is incredible as its a very small island. When I was there I saw a free music parade and festival.

* There are also museums, colonial residences, a cable car ride, a Protestant church and a waterfront garden as well.

Where to stay on Gu Lang Yu? - There's a hostel on Gu Lang Yu which is difficult to miss, it's on one of the main streets when you arrive by ferry and is prominent. It's a Hostelling International - it's probably the cheapest option on the island.

So there you have it - a very brief but essential guide to the island of Gu Lang Yu in Fujian Province in China. Whether you choose it as just a day trip, or an overnight stop, you will enjoy it. It's just that little bit different to the China we are used to!
