SEX AND THE CITY

20 years ago, 4 vivacious ladies strutted on to our television screens and changed the relationship scene forever. With these girls, no topic was off limits. From one-night stands to being surrogates for gay couples and then from dating younger men to affairs with older men, our minds and eyes were open to the possibilities and one clear truth…single ladies do have more fun than their married counterparts. Celebrate the friendship of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda by watching reruns.

FRIENDS

Speaking of friends, ladies may have gushed over the friendship of the four in Sex and the City, but everyone loved the cast of popular TV show, Friends. We lived with them for 10 episodes and even though it has been over a decade since the last episode we keep holding our breath for a hopeful reunion. These guys were each of us in different ways and it was nice to see each character grow. Go on a binge marathon with all 10 episodes of Friends. Chances are, you will laugh, cry and repeat this all over.

GAME OF THRONES

This is one of those TV shows we didn’t initially see coming. It started out slow and then boom, millions of viewers became addicted. A tale of dragons and their mistresses, kings and their vicious queens who ruled them and of course, the quest for power. Every character plays a pivotal role in the Game of thrones and the death of one is not enough to end their influence. The season finale of Game of Thrones is still afar off (2019). But, we have all 67 episodes to keep you preoccupied till them.

THE WALKING DEAD

Sergeant Grimes wakes up from a coma into a horrific world overrun by zombies after an epidemic nearly wipes out the entire human race. In search for his family, Rick (Grimes) team up with other survivors. They must keep their wits about them as the walkers (zombies) aren’t the only thing that threatens their survival.

STRANGER THINGS

The investigation into the disappearance of a 12-year-old boy uncovers the mysteries of this otherwise sleepy town in Indiana. This discovery unleashes series of strange and inexplicable things. Government experiments, spiritual forces among other things are at play here. But to find the missing boy, the town must push past their fears and confront the terrors. This is one TV show you would enjoy.

Affordable Family Vacation Ideas: Low-Cost Vacations That Are Fun…

2017-03-20
by Admin

These days, finding affordable family vacation ideas can be challenging. Two questions must be answered when making these difficult decisions. First, you have to know that you will be able to pay for the trip. Second, you have to make sure that you choose a vacation location that the whole family will enjoy. Here are some travel tips on making your vacation perfect.Choosing a LocationWhen choosing a location, you must decide, as previously stated, a place to go that your family will enjoy. An easy choice would be resorts or theme parks that have multiple activities going on at all times. The problem is that these places can be very costly. In addition to paying for the right to participate in their activities, you have to pay for hotels, food, beverages, transportation, and travel games (to keep the kids occupied).

The best tips I can offer in this category are that you choose a location that is both close to you and you can find a place to stay for free (such as a friend or relative’s home). Doing so will make transportation and accommodations relatively inexpensive. Additionally, make sure you can find activities that everyone can enjoy in the place you visit, as not everyone enjoys shopping or fishing.Timing is EverythingWhen choosing a time to travel, my suggestion is to avoid holidays. Most people choose to travel during a holiday season (especially Thanksgiving and Christmas), making traveling more expensive due to traffic. Additionally, if your vacations take place during the spring or fall, gas will be cheaper as you won’t have to run the AC or the heater. Finally, it would be a good idea to do most of your driving during a weekend, as interstates are usually cluttered on the weekdays.Affordable Family Vacation IdeasMy greatest suggestion for an inexpensive vacation is to go somewhere with plenty of outdoor activities. If you can find an area with a forest and a lake, that would be excellent, as it would offer hiking, swimming, fishing, and camping, usually for free or for a low-cost. Additionally, these locales are very peaceful and relaxing, as it will remove you from the hustle and bustle of city life.

For those who are not too fond of the great outdoors, I suggest visiting a big city where you have relatives or friends living. By staying with them, you’ll eliminate many of your unnecessary costs, and big cities offer major amounts of activities, such as seeing professional sports, shopping, factory tours, parks, and many others.No matter where you go, remember the key to a successful vacation is ensuring that everyone has a good time. Vacations are meant to be the fond memories that people hold onto, as they break up the monotony of everyday life. Just make sure you don’t get in over your head and end up remembering the vacation for the debt it caused rather than the experience you had.

Top 5 Tips For Your Family Vacation Getaway

2017-03-19
by Admin

Family vacations are opportunities for everyone in the family to recharge and rejuvenate while stepping outside the normal activities of daily life. They can be some our most memorable experiences. But advance planning is needed too if you want to have the perfect family vacation. Since vacation activities are not part of our normal routine, it’s easy to forget some things that make a real difference on whether the trip is pleasant and exciting, or a real disappointment instead. Here are the top 5 tips to help make your family vacation getaway successful:1. Make sure that before you leave you make a few phone calls to confirm all the reservations that you have made for the trip. There is nothing more irritating than getting to your destination only to find that a mistake has been made and you don’t have the hotel, car rental, or activity reservations that you thought you did. This can be especially problematic with making all of your reservations over the internet. So a quick phone call to make sure that all is waiting for you as promised can save a lot of aggravation later on.

2. Check the weather at your destination and make sure that the clothes you have packed will be sufficient. In some places the weather can change rapidly and if you aren’t prepared with the right clothing it can make for a very uncomfortable stay. It may be a good idea to check with weather.com not only about the current weather situation but also what is being forecast for the next 10 days or so just to try to get as complete a picture as possible.3. If you are flying to your family vacation getaway, take a carry on bag with you that has all the important papers that you need including your travel schedule, lodging information, credit cards, travelers checks, and so forth. It may also be a good idea to include a few clothing items that can get you through a day or two after you arrive just in case your checked luggage is lost or misplaced.4. If you are driving to your destination, be sure to have a good road atlas handy that can get you all the way from your origin to your destination with easy to follow maps. You can even go one better by visiting mapquest.com and getting specific driving directions that will lay out every step along the way and give you the most details possible about the upcoming trip. Also don’t forget to get directions for the return trip as well.

5. If you are visiting a foreign country, arrange for all necessary paperwork such as visas, passports, birth certificates, etc. well in advance so you don’t have unexpected delays as you travel. Also try to get some of that country’s currency before you leave so you have it on hand when you arrive. You may also want to consider protecting yourself from pickpockets in foreign countries by putting your cash in a money belt instead of a wallet.A few simple precautions taken in advance can help make your family vacation getaway in to the perfect family vacation that you will remember fondly for many years to come.

Planning your Walt Disney World Vacation

2017-03-18

While it’s always thought that children are the ones who dream of Walt Disney Vacations, there are adults that think of Walt Disney World as their ideal vacation spot as well. The greatest appeal for families to Disney has to be the ability to find something for everyone to do. Of course we’re not just talking about group activities, but things for every individual too. This is probably one of the big reasons that families will go back each year, yet they never seem to get bored.If you’re seriously considering taking a Walt Disney vacation you should start your research on the Internet. Of course you can book a vacation right on Disney’s website, there are other online travel sites that also have special family destination packages that might include Walt Disney world, as well as airfare, and hotels.

An important thing to keep in mind is that Walt Disney world vacations vary in price depending on the time of year you want to travel. Disney is also busier at particular times of the year then others. Choosing to go to Disney in the off season will often mean you’ll get a better deal. It’s a funny thing really, Disney never has a shortage of visitors whether it’s peak season or not, yet you can always find a deal. This is likely another one of the big attractions as a vacation spot, there is always a good deal to be found.There are a few ways to book your trip to Walt Disney world. First off you can book it online, via a travel agent or by phoning Disney. Each option has benefits, when calling the operator on the other end might be able to dig a bit deeper and find you a better deal then is available online or at your regular travel agent. If you do intend on calling to book your trip you should either call in the evening or early morning. Calling throughout the day is the busier time, and you’ll be more rushed to book and get off the phone so that operators can serve other clients.

Another attraction to consider when planning your trip to Disney is the special events they hold. While you likely won’t find a deal during those special events it can make your vacation that much more enjoyable. Attractions such as concerts for children under five, or special character appearances often occur but aren’t part of Disney’s regular attractions. Also keep a watch for Disney anniversary specials. Catching specials that don’t happen all the time can create wonderful vacation memories, and be that much more fun for you and your family.

Family Travel Tips: 18 Ways to Enjoy a Road…

2017-03-16
by Admin

Whenever one of my friends returns from some time away, I ask: “Was it a vacation – or was it just a trip?”When traveling with kids, true vacations are pretty hard to come by. With the packing, the car seats, the change in sleeping schedules, and all the inevitable whining that comes along, it would be way easier to stay home (especially when traveling by car.)And yet traveling is important. When we travel, we open to a world that was previously unknown to us. We touch other cultures and other ways of life; we broaden our own perspectives and understand, finally, that our small problems are just that.When we travel with kids, we open their eyes to all of this and more. Even when we take a simple trip to visit distant relatives, we show them a world of love that they may not had known existed.Here are eighteen tips to help you enjoy road trip traveling with your kids.Before the trip:1. Use online trip-planning websites to locate kid-friendly parks, historic monuments, and other attractions in advance. Plan at least one kids’ activity each day, even on those driving days. Involving your kids in the planning of your vacation will help them to get excited about the trip, too.2. When you are doing your research and booking your destination, consider an all-inclusive resort. These types of arrangements (in which your lodging, dining, attractions, and activities are included) can really help you relax and enjoy your precious vacation time.

3. Have each child pack their own small backpack with the books, workbooks, and activities that they most want to bring.4. Have a kid-friendly travel map on hand, as well as a pair of binoculars.5. Consider buying or borrowing a portable DVD player. We only get ours out on long trips, but it has been really helpful, especially if you are traveling very long distances.6. Get each child a special book of games, puzzles, or simple coloring books, just for the drive, along with some washable markers.7. Bring some music that everyone will enjoy singing along to. We love our CD of old campfire songs. You can even create your own CDs of family favorites.8. Bring a Frisbee or a football for when you stop at a park. You want to help your kids burn some energy in a reasonable amount of time.9. Pack healthy low-mess snacks, such as nuts, trail mix, apples, energy bars, and bottled water. A package of baby wipes often comes in handy for little messes in the car, too.10. Pack a journal and a disposable camera for each child, so that they can document the trip in their own way. These items can be gift wrapped and given to the kids as you need a diversion from boredom or sibling arguments.11. Make sure to talk about your vacation like it is the ultimate adventure. The enthusiasm that you bring to the prospect of piling into the car will help in untold ways.In the Car12. If you can, do as much traveling as possible while your kids are sleeping. Of course, safety is paramount. If you find yourself getting at all sleepy, pull over and switch with your spouse or find a hotel.13. If you don’t like to drive at night, or you are driving through countryside that you would like your children to see in the daylight, make sure you leave plenty of travel time. Plan on a maximum of seven hours of driving per day. Get up early, drive a bit, and then check into your hotel in the mid afternoon and enjoy the swimming pool. Have a nice, relaxed dinner and leisurely check out some local sites in the evening.14. While driving during the day, plan to stop at least every hour and a half. Stretch, take some bathroom breaks, and remember that getting there is half the adventure.15. Finger knitting really helps my kids to pass the time. All you need is a ball of yarn. There is no mess and you can find simple instructions online by doing a Google search for “Finger Knitting.” During our last car trip, we all arrived at our destination with lovely pink finger knitted scarves.

16. During a routine fuel stop, ask each child to choose five or six postcards that they can send to their friends. Make sure to bring your address book and postage stamps so you can mail them on the way.17. Allow one child to be the “navigator” each day. The navigator looks at the map and gives recommendations on where to stop for snacks, gas, and meals.18. Try these simple Travel Games:The Alphabet Game: Find all the letters of the alphabet, in order, on license plates, billboards, and road signs. Or find objects that begin with each letter.I Spy: One person spies something in the landscape or in the car and gives clues. (One possible variation on this game is “20 Questions.”)License Plate “I Spy”: See how many states you can spot.License Plate Alphabet: Find all the letters of the alphabet, in order, on license plates.Letter Bingo: Print out Bingo sheets with clip art or words depicting sites you will see on your trip.Ultimately, it’s important to remember that there is no such thing as a perfect family vacation. Prepare as much as possible in advance, and then relax and go with the flow.

Italy Vacation Rentals

2017-03-14
by Admin

Vacation rentals are furnished accommodations available on a temporary basis for tourists. Vacation rentals are becoming an increasingly popular option, as they give you more privacy, a unique and very personal touch to your holiday, and an opportunity to absorb the local culture from close quarters.Italy provides a wide range of choices. Depending on your budget you can rent anything from a humble one-room flat to a private villa or a castle with a dozen bedrooms and a private pool. You can pick a farmhouse or a cozy cottage nestled in a small town, or an accommodation in the middle of a bustling city.There are many corporate housing service providers who maintain a network of furnished accommodations across Italy. This way, you don’t have to search for a new accommodation whenever you go to a new place in Italy. They cater to tourists traveling on a shoestring budget and to those who want to live in the lap of luxury.

They offer different packages depending on your budget and the duration of your stay, which could be one day to one year. These holiday homes provide a refreshing contrast to the impersonal atmosphere of hotels. You are provided with all the necessary appliances to do your own cooking and washing. It offers you great flexibility, in addition to saving money.The Internet can give you a good idea about the location of these accommodations, the facilities they offer and the price range. You can book the accommodations online by making a down payment through a credit card, check or bank transfer. The balance can be paid later as per the rules of the service provider. Most rentals run from Saturday afternoon to the next Saturday morning.There are families who rent out a room or two in their private residence. Italians are known for their friendly disposition and hospitality. Staying in such family accommodations adds an altogether different aspect to your vacation. You get to taste the most authentic local flavors, at half the price of restaurants. Women travelers tend to prefer this kind of arrangement, as it offers them better protection in a foreign city. If you are planning an extended stay you can make it the ‘home base’ and travel to other places of interest.

However, you’d better confirm the credentials of the family before taking up their offer. Many of them are registered with commercial holiday package providers. Choose unregistered ones only on the references of friends and relatives who stayed with the family earlier. Remember, should you get into any sort of trouble contact the nearest US embassy immediately.

Your Ideal Travel Destination

2017-03-13
by Admin

For many people traveling to a foreign place can be an intriguing and exotic experience. Having the opportunity to learn about other cultures within their setting can be remarkably enjoyable and educational. Unfortunately for many individuals the prospect of traveling never presents itself, whether it is because of a hectic career or a budget that is simply too tight to allow for vacation spending. However, if one can afford to take a trip to an exotic place, there is truly no better way to spend vacation time.

Choosing a vacation destination that is ideal for you can be a difficult task. If you’ve never traveled abroad in your lifetime then it is likely that there are countless places you’d like to visit and as such choosing just one can be rather tough. The decision can become quite complicated if you have a number of friends or family members going with you and you simply cannot agree on a place. However keeping in mind what you wish to discover or partake in on your vacation can make the decision a little less problematic. To elaborate if you wish to bask in the hot sun all day and work on a tan or go swimming or snorkeling in warm, blue waters then it is likely that you will travel to somewhere in the Caribbean. Knowing exactly what you wish to see accomplish on you vacation can rule out a significant number of places.

If you are more partial to the cultural aspects of a place, you really enjoy historical artifacts and you really cannot stand overbearing heat, then you may want to consider some place in Europe. This is not to say that you cannot observe rich history within other places in the world, it is just that many cities in Europe are quite popular for their presentation of history within the landscape and their history oriented tours.
