Travel Trips

Riverwalk
At the heart of the city lies the Riverwalk district. Take the stairs from the street level down to the Riverwalk, where a lush, shady refuge awaits. There the San Antonio River is lined on both sides with pedestrian walkways that are closed to bicycles and motor vehicles. Hotels and shops line the Riverwalk and delicious scents emanating from restaurants beckon to passersby. Many of the buildings have entrances on both the street level and the Riverwalk level. Visitors can take relaxing river cruises and some restaurants offer lunch and dinner cruises.

Alamo
A short walk from the Riverwalk is the famed Alamo, 300 Alamo Plaza, which stands as a testament to American courage. On March 6, 1836 the 189 men defending the Alamo fell to the Mexican troops of General Santa Ana after a 13 day siege. Today the only two buildings left standing of the original fort are the chapel and the long barracks. Take a free guided tour of the grounds, then visit the Long Barracks Museum and Library to learn more about the fort from the displays there.

La Villita
Adjacent to the Riverwalk is La Villita, a collection of restaurants, arts and crafts stores and other shops. Wander among the shops featuring a variety of works such as glass figurines, original paintings and pottery.

Shop at Market Square
Another popular shopping district is the Market Square, 514 W. Commerce, designed to look like an authentic market in Mexico. Here you’ll find pewter and enamel bracelets, bright porcelain wall crosses, clothing and more. There are additional shops located across the road at Farmers Market Square.

Churches?
San Antonio is famous for its beautiful mission churches along the San Antonio River. In the 18th century Spain built the missions as part of its effort to convert the area’s Native Americans to Catholicism. In addition to the Mission San Antonio de Valero at the Alamo, visitors can tour Mission Concepci

To travel from Arusha to Dar es Salaam is easiest by air, however, this will cost about US$200 per person. The cheapest alternative is to travel by bus, which is never advised by tour operators. However, it need not be a nightmare as there are some good companies operating in Tanzania.

The most well known bus company must be the Scandinavia Express. They operate probably the best, safest and most comfortable transport between the two cities; it is, of course, the most expensive private bus option – at US$25 per person – and to book in advance is essential. In Arusha the offices for Scandinavia have moved to Kilembero Market – which is close to the Shoprite supermarket. Scandinavia have recently been in huge debt and have had some of their buses seized by the police; this has made the headlines in the East African news papers. It has also made booking in Advance more essential as the fleet is depleted.

The ‘Dar Express’ bus service comes a close second to Scandinavia or maybe an equal first place. They have different classes of busses and when at the booking Office – which is situated close to the Kimahama Bookshop [about 500m up hill from the Arusha Stadium] – it is essential to say you want the first class bus which should cost about US$18 per person. Dar Express are, without doubt, my favourite company and I would recommend this company above all others. However, some of the coaches do not have a toilet – although this may in fact be a blessing – as you travel in the African heat [and especially if you are sat toward the rear of the bus] a toilet may not seem such a luxury after most of the passengers have taken advantage of the service. The smell can become quite overpowering and the journey is a long one – about ten hours.

If you opt for the cheaper end of the market, most busses leave from the Bus Station close to the ‘Stadium’. Buffalo seem to be a favourite but they travel too fast. Speed is not a good thing as in places the road is single carriageway, it winds and there are hills; slowly slowly is the best way to ensure you get from Arusha to Dar es Salaam alive.

I would recommend either Fresh Coach or Amazon Coach – the ticket price must be negotiated and do not pay more than US$10 per person. The last of each of these coaches leaves Arusha Bus Station at 8 am sharp. Tickets are usually sold by freelance workers and as the commission is good – the more they charge the more pay they take home – competition is fierce. If you are a westerner then you will be targeted and you will be surrounded by enthusiastic ticker touts. This experience is not for the faint hearted. Hang onto your luggage and watch out [as you would as a tourist anywhere in the world] for pickpockets.

Fresh coach and Amazon travel to Dar es Salaam at a more leisurely pace and they are safer than the full steam ahead express buses.

If you want to leave Arusha and travel by bus to make the ferry crossing to Zanzibar in a single day – I would suggest leaving Arusha around 6 am to ensure you are in Dar es Salaam by 2pm. That gives you a good couple of hours to get from the Bus Station into town and to the ferry, buy your ticket.

The site http://www.tanzania-info.co.uk has full details and timetables for Zanzibar Ferries, flights and Buses in Tanzania – and http://www.betheladventure.co.uk has safari information. Use responsible tourism to make a difference to the countries and peoples you visit.

When traveling, most people are inclined to cut back on their water consumption. After all, they’re a little embarrassed at having to stop every hour or so (on a car trip) to use the bathroom. Or if they’re on a plane, they hate having to climb over everyone else to get to the toilets.

Well, I hope you can get over your embarrassment. Because water is the best thing to solve a number of travel related problems.

Here’s some logistics. In the first place, I recommend that everyone carry a water bottle with them. Our family does, and not only is it healthier, it stops the endless pleading for soft drinks that children are sometimes inclined to do. Drinking water also cuts back on your false hunger pangs, and prevents you from eating as much.

And while you may have to stop more frequently to use the bathroom, that’s actually better for you. Most people are more alert and better drivers when they stop every hour or so, and walk around, even if it’s only for a minute or so. When you’re hopping to the bathroom, take some deep breaths, and you’ll not only feel better, you’ll be a better, safer driver.

If you’re on an airplane, water is even more important. In the first place, there have been several cases of travelers dying from an embolus (a blood clot in the vein) on airplanes. Water helps this out in two ways. In the first place, the extra fluid keeps the blood circulating. In the second, the extra water forces you to get up and move around (by going to the bathroom) and this helps to prevent a blood clot from forming.

As more and more people are traveling, airlines are having to cram more and more people into planes. This means that you will have very little space. It’s simply not a good idea to remain in a cramped space for hours on end without walking around — even if the movie’s a good one! You might want to get a seat on the aisle, so you can get up and down without disturbing anyone. Even better is a seat on the bulkhead, which is the first row of seats in the cabin. You’ll have more room there. (Even better is flying in first class! But since I’m guessing that most people are not able to afford that luxury, maybe water can make up for it a little bit!)

The interior of an airplane is also dry. The air is about as humid as that of a desert, which is not very humid. Your mouth and throat are likely to become dry, even with liberal intakes of water. You should probably avoid most of the alcohol that’s offered to you, because alcohol will serve to dry your body out even more. Just get on good terms with the flight attendants, accept a big glass of water whenever they offer you something to drink, and enjoy your trip.

Because the Philippines is an archipelagic country, its geographic resources mainly include beaches and mountains. There are several ways to book tours of these destinations but the easiest way is to get a tour guide and tour program from several travel agencies.

Using the Internet, tourists can simply search for Philippine travel agencies and the query will return several available tourist packages in the Philippines. Visitors can either decide to join a guided tour or hire a tourist guide for their group alone. The tourist guide will be the one to arrange the itinerary for them and make the necessary reservation fees, if applicable.

Among the great destinations in the Philippines are Bohol, Puerto Galera and Cebu. In Bohol, visitors can have a tour of the Chocolate Hills. Alternatively, they go diving in a famous white beach resort. During the dive, they can also have the privilege to earn their own professional diving licenses. Meanwhile, in Puerto Galera, they can enjoy the same diving privileges plus the opportunity to watch dolphins and whales. Cebu, on the other hand, had been declared in 2002 as a “”tourism enterprise zone.”" The different churches and establishments in the said part of the country reflect much of its cultural heritage. The city is also home to a number of famous Filipino food and delicacies such as dried mangoes and salted fish.

Before booking a Philippine tour, visitors are first advised to canvass a number of available options. Some packages may be better than others and may even offer additional services such as hotel lodgings. If time permits, it is best to make reservations at least a week before. If the visitors or tourists plan to stay in the country for a longer vacation, it would be a good idea to consult an online travel agency, and purchase a membership. Membership isn’t free, but it can be used to get discounts on different travel packages.

If you are someone who loves to travel then you know that in addition to the cost of the travel itself the cost of food can be a major expense for your vacation. It is very easy to tally up expenses for food that can easily exceed the cost of your vacation if you are not careful. We have put together some helpful hints to assist you with planning your trip and saving money on dining while on your trip.

First off, the age old advice of eating a good breakfast applies here as well. Always eat a balanced meal consisting of protein and carbohydrates such as traditional bacon and eggs with toast instead of a sugar laden breakfast of donuts. Complex carbohydrates including whole grain cereal, oatmeal, or wheat toast will also help keep hunger away and make you feel satisfied longer.

Endeavor to make lunch your biggest meal of the day since most restaurants usually have specials during lunch hour that can save you a great deal of money. Be friendly with the employees at the hotel you are staying and ask their advice for local eating establishments that have lunch specials. I always enjoy trying the food at little cafes that the locals love.

It is always smart to take along some snacks with you while you are out running around, especially if you are on some kind of tour with a lot of other people. You may be hungry before any scheduled stops for food, so be prepared by having a few snacks like fruit, crackers, nuts, or maybe some trail mix. Get your snacks at a local store instead of from a machine to keep the cost down.

Although many people look at going grocery shopping on vacation as taboo this is really not smart thinking. Anytime we go on vacation I always make sure that we have accommodations that have a kitchen and refrigerator so that we can prepare some of our own meals. There is absolutely no reason to eat out for every meal when you are traveling, especially if you are on a vacation that is a week or more. If you have a family of four you can probably save at least $50 a day just from eating one meal in.

Another good idea especially if you need to lose a few pounds, and most of us do, is to plan to diet a little while on vacation. You could do something like the Slimfast diet where you drink a shake for breakfast and lunch and only eat dinner. Another thing that dramatically increases the cost of dining out on vacations is the addition of alcoholic beverages. Not only are they just empty calories but you are charged for every drink as opposed to drinking a regular beverage where you are normally only charged for one glass and then get free refills.

Traveling requires advanced planning and these easy to follow travel tips can make any trip more enjoyable. Being prepared can help travelers avoid many frustrating situations. Have a smart plan when flying, plan your packing, and have a home security plan.

With today’s busy airports and increased security, it is crucial to come to any airport well prepared. Start and finish your vacation on a good note. Take time before any flight to ensure that you have a great trip by following these simple tips.

Arrive Early for your Flight – Most airports have long check-in and security lines. Plan ahead.

Bring Proper ID – Drivers License, ID card, or Passports may be required upon check-in.

Security Pouch – Place ticket information, travel papers and ID in one easy to reach travel pouch.

Seat Assignment – Be sure to call ahead for advanced seating.

Allow for Connecting Flights – Schedule at least 1 to 2 hours between connections.

Prepare to Wait – Bring snacks, drinks and something to occupy your time if you are delayed.

Carry-on Bag – Always have prescriptions with you. Be aware that toiletries and other liquids can break and leak in the non-pressurized luggage compartments. A spare set of clothes can also be helpful when making connecting flights. Lost luggage can take 24 to 48 hours to catch up to you.

Airplane Air Quality – Cabin pressurized air is sometimes thinner than “sea-level” and always very dry which can leave passengers dehydrated. Have plenty of water on hand. Some passengers feel “tired” during and after flights due to thin, dry air.

Safety – Familiarize yourself with your seat location on the airplane relative to the exits. Read all safety information provided by the airline. Count and memorize the number of seat backs to the nearest exit in the event that cabin visibility is reduced.

Be sure to pack smart. Ever taken twice as much as you needed on a trip? Packing for any vacation no matter how short requires good planning and organization. If you leave packing until the last minute chances are you will be frustrated later. Help anticipate problems before they occur by following these tips.

Have a Security Pouch. Place ticket information, travel papers, confirmations and ID in one easy to reach travel pouch.

Organize a Smart Carry-on Bag. Always have prescriptions with you. Be aware that toiletries and other liquids can break and leak in the non-pressurized luggage compartments. A spare set of clothes can also be helpful when making connecting flights. Lost luggage can take 24 to 48 hours to catch up to you.

Store Toiletries and Cosmetics in appropriate places. If they are not in your carry-on take care to place them in water tight bags away from clothes in case they break or leak.

Have a plan for Laundry. Pack large kitchen bags or an empty duffle to hold laundry. This is helpful if you are changing locations during your vacation. You won’t need to mix clean items with dirty clothes.

Pack a Beach Bag. Avoid having to look for all beach related items you packed by placing them in one bag. Place sunscreens, hats, towels, rash guards and bathing suits in a bag that can double as your beach bag. This is especially important when traveling with children. They will want to dive right into the pool or water when you arrive. Just grab one bag and go!

Keep clothes Dry and Fresh. When traveling to a humid climate it helps to pack clothing in large zip-lock bags opening only those you need. For fresh smelling clothes pack dryer sheets between clothes. Storing shoes in air tight bags will eliminate shoe odor in your luggage.

Avoid Wrinkles in your Clothes. Rolling items together with the most wrinkle-prone item on the outside of the roll can help reduce wrinkles. Another packing method involves laying wrinkle-prone items flat in your suitcase with the rest of the item lapping over the edge of the suit case. Place wrinkle resistant clothes on top of the clothes that are still lying flat and then carefully fold the wrinkle prone item over the clothes on top. If done correctly the result it a gentle curve that avoids a crease.

Plan Ahead for Souvenir Shopping. Pack an empty duffle in your luggage that can be checked-in as luggage on your return flight. This is a good way to have space for all your vacation souvenirs. It can also be used to hold dirty laundry.

Prepare your Home! Preparing your affairs at home before you depart is important for the security of your property. When leaving for more than a few days, be sure everything at home is secure. By following a few steps, your home will be ready for your vacation too.

Suspend all Routine Deliveries. Either stop your mail and paper delivery, or arrange for a friend to pick it up.

Create a House Watch Plan. Even if the paper and mail deliveries are stopped, have a friend come by the house each day to check for unexpected deliveries. They should also walk around your property to make sure everything looks normal.

Leave someone in Charge. Always let someone know your plans and your vacation schedule in case of any unexpected emergencies.

Pay Bills before Leaving. When traveling for more than two weeks, check with all utility companies, credit card providers and mortgage lenders to insure an uninterrupted flow of service with out incurring service charges. In some cases you may need to pay bills in advance of your departure date.

Many frustrating situations will arise when traveling. If you have planned ahead well, many of these pitfalls can be avoided, and those that are unavoidable are more tolerable. Plan ahead and enjoy your vacation!

If travel leaves you frazzled, maybe it’s time for an attitude check! Some things will undoubtedly not go the way you planned – but if you pay attention, it’s easy to enjoy things you didn’t even plan for.

One way to minimize the frustration and maximize the pleasure is through good planning. As someone who spends 80% of my time on the road, here are some tricks of the trade I’ve learned.

Packing Choose your luggage carefully. Some is heavy before you even start packing. Lifting a roller bag over your head after you’ve packed it can require a weight lifter. (Consider putting your laptop or heavy books in an outside pocket that you can take out before you put it in the overhead.)

What to pack in your carry-on bag (not to exceed 22×14x10 for most domestic airlines)

Tickets Medications Camera & film Itineray Extra glsses, sunglasses Address book Valuable jewelry Snacks Change of underwear Reading material Basic toiletries/make-up Wallet with cash & minimum number of credit/ATM cards

We often hear “less is more” – and certainly that is the case when you’re on the road. According to Consumer Reports 8% of passengers who check luggage report something lost or stolen, so if you can’t afford to lose it, don’t check it.

If looking good when you get there is important, wearing something that travels well and is still suitable for the occasion will save valuable luggage space, and if bag is lost, you can go “as is.”

Clothing:

Exercise clothing? (equipment)

If you’re going to be in the same hotel for several days, consider sending ahead bulky items, such as exercise clothes or reading material, to arrive before you do. (If you require a signature on the recipient end, you can easily trace the package when you arrive if necessary.)

Choose clothes with lots of flexibility – for example: Flattering slacks to wear with a casual sweater during the day or a dressy jacket for evening. Clothing that can be layered for warmth Dark clothing won’t show spots and can be worn longer Pick one basic color and choose everything else to match

Put clothes in drycleaning bag to minimize wrinkles Hang in hotel show room to steam out wrinkles Roll up socks and underwear and tuck into corners or in shoes Get travel sizes of toiletry items. Carry them in a hanging bag with clear plastic dividers so you can see in a moment’s notice what’s missing. If you travel frequently, always keep this bag packed and ready to go.

The most important thing to take when you travel is a good attitude. Spend less time fretting about the frustrations, and more time enjoying the opportunities, such as a time to read without interruption or a fabulous meal at a local restaurant. Keep your sense of humor and happy traveling!

Rental Cars

Hard to remember: rent same color everytime (white is easy to see) – put something in rear window for identification, such as one of your business brochures)

Go to the rental car counter before picking up bags (consider frequent traveler rental programs)

Find a type of car you like and stick with it. Innocuous looking – less likely to attrack attention of theves; on the other hand, a sporty convertible may make life more fun. Choice.

For foreign travel:

Passport Extra film Traveler’s checks A little local currency (Make copies of your tickets, passport — ID page & visa pages, credit cards, itinerary, prescriptions. Pack one in your suitcase and leave one with a friend.)

Jetlag

Abstain from alcohol and drink lots of water instead When you buckle up, set watch to local time at arrival destination Stretch frequently to increase circulation d reduce muscle stiffness Maintain a good diet Relax – shower/swim/walk

Items you may want to take:

Take First Aid Guide Spot Remover – White soap/toothbrush Dental Floss – good for tieing! Film Holders are leak proof Twisty tie – for replacing buttons Scotch tape – hem, lint remover If you like to sleep in dark room, take clip (potato chip or binder clip) for holding curtains together. Water bottle for flight(trade-off: weight versus comfort)

Dealing with Airlines:

Getting seat you want: no window or aisle seats open, ask the ticket agent for a middle seat between two passengers with the same last name. Couples often book aisle and window, hopin that center will go unclaims, and they’ll trade.

Any flight delay entitles you to a refund, even on a nonrefundable ticket. Airline won’t provide hotel – ask hotel for “distressed traveler rate.” No room at the inn? Ask gate agent for airline pillows and blankets. (Join frequent traveler club – charged it to my client as hotel room!)

According to latest statistics, 99.5) of checked bags get to right airport at right time. Of the .5 percent classified as “mishandled”, 8 out of 10 are returned to their owners within 24 hours. (Always put identification INSIDE bag in case outside tags are torn off.)

Mantra: “May I speak to your supervisor?”

Traveling with your PC?

Hide your PC in a bag that doesn’t resemble a laptop carrying case. Never keep passwords or access phone number on the machine or in the case. In hotel rooms, use cable locks to attach to stationery furniture, or store in safe – be sure to log off! Don’t check your laptop or store in overhead luggage compartment Back up your data frequently, and store separately from your laptop. Keep your laptop in view at all times when going through security. Security always involves a trade-off between protection and convenience – how valuable is your information?

Back up data via the Web using services such as US West-e-Backup (www.uswest.com/ebackup)

The time to control travel is before you leave; when you’re on your way, flexibility is the key to survival!
