More travel tips

Posted on by

I was not able to be online yesterday. I apologize. I am trying to get everything I want to do quickly because I don’t know how long I have. We will see. But let’s look at some more general travel tips.

  • Don’t make travel all about you. Go on trips where you can volunteer with projects you believe in. It is always going to be great experience for you and your family. And you’re likely to make some great friends along the way.
  • Do not forget to take a lot of pictures along the way. Pictures are a great way to remember your trip. And it may help to get over your vacation blues to organize your pictures into scrapbooks once you are home, whether that is actual scrapbooks or online.
  • Say that you have a dream of going to this certain place. Some people may say that you can’t do this or that. Don’t give up. Look it up. The internet has tons of resources that might help you.

Travel tips #1

Posted on by

I’m really not sure what the rest of my week looks like, as far as whether I can get internet access or not. We will just have to wait and see. Don’t like that, but anyway. Today we are going to take a look at some general travel tips.

  • First, please remember that travel is not some magical thing where nothing ever goes wrong. Airlines are going to have cancellations. Hotel reservations get messed up. Taxis don’t just come out of nowhere. When things go wrong, learn to laugh at them.
  • it is wise to get up and go first thing in the morning. Mornings are great times to take pictures. And lots of people do not like getting up early in the morning, so getting up will help you beat at least some of the crowds
  • To get a feel for life in a certain place, go sit in a busy part of town for a couple of hours. And just watch life happen all around you. Listen to the sounds see the sights and observe the people. Enjoy all the different smells. You don’t need to always be doing the tourist thing.
  • When you are traveling, you are not going to know all of the rules of how everything is done. You are going to mess up from time to time. Learn to laugh at yourself when things like that do come up.

Do you want to do a multi generation trip? Cruises are great for that too because they have so many different things you can do. Let’s talk about some cruises that are great for families.

  • Everyone knows about Disney World and Disneyland, but did you know that Disney does cruises too? As you might expect with Disney, their cruises are extremely family friendly. Something I’ve heard, and always seem to remember, is that the shows on Disney cruises are a lot more family friendly than other cruises. They also have a great kids’ club that your children will love. And that means that you and your husband can just relax and enjoy each other.
  • Families usually like Carnival because they have so many different activities. Their ships also have some amazing food for you to enjoy. Adults also find some great entertainment in the evening.

Puerto Rico

Posted on by

I am not 100% sure what this week is going to hold as far as work. My family has some different things going on this week. We will see how everything goes.

Puerto Rico is known as the land of enchantment, and it is an awful nice place to visit. Here you will find friendly people, incredibly good good food, and absolutely beautiful weather. Today let’s look at some things that you might want to do if you were to go to Puerto Rico.

  • One thing that Puerto Rico is known for is its beautiful beaches. And one of their most beautiful beaches is Flamenco Beach. You will not find any fancy resorts or nice restaurants here. But it is the perfect place to relax without crowds, traffic or crime. Our military is responsible for keeping the developers away.
  • Another popular attraction is Mosquito Bay on Vlequez. Are you wondering, like I am, why that is? It is because they have creatures there that are half-plant and half-animal. And at night, the water emits a blue glow from these creatures. It sounds like you’ll feel like you’re in outer space somewhere.

I enjoy writing these tips on tips on tips. They’re fun. They’re easy to write about.. So let’s get back to some more of them.

  • In Barcelona, Spain, you will most likely be charged for their service automatically. But if you are feeling particularly generous, or if you have an exceptionally good server, go on and add ten percent to your bill if you are at a high end place. Leave some change if you are eating at a more casual eatery.
  • Cape town, South Africa is apparently a happening food scene, I never knew that. You are going want to tip ten to fifteen percent at more restaurants. You will also want round up when you take a taxi. And add a dollar a bag when your porter gets your luggage for you.

Let’s look some more at how you should tip in other countries around the world. I think this is pretty interesting, better than anything about COVID-19 for sure. And this will help anyone who is traveling now or who wants to travel in the future.

  • Have you ever dreamed of going to Paris? In most restaurants in the City of Lights, they are going to charge you for service. That means that you do not have to leave a tip. However, a lot of people are either leaving some spare change or rounding up their bill. It is just something nice to do.
  • Tips are not required in Italy. But they are seen as a kind gesture. And who doesn’t want to be seen as kind? But before you tip, make sure to look at your bill to make sure that a gratuity hasn’t already been added. It is often added here in tourist areas.
  • The Japanese like to keep it simple. Do not tip. Good service is expected of all Japanese wait staff. They actually do have a tipping system, but it is pretty complicated.. Try learning it at your own risk.
  • Mexico is now a lot like the States. You are going to want to pay a ten to fifteen percent tip at any restaurant. You may want to keep in mind that these people usually do not make much, and you will truly be helping them out.

If walking around is something you and your family like to do together, here are some ideas of towns that you might want to explore.
