World Travel

Sailing holidays are an unforgettable adventure. However, when planning this type of activity, we must prepare ourselves for it. We should know the rules of the cruise, what we should take with us and what to watch out for during the yacht charter.

Access to the place

Don’t forget to organize your flight / arrival in advance. Do not postpone such things to the last minute. If you plan to arrive a few days earlier before departure, be sure to book your hotel and arrange travel to the destination town, to the marina.

 

Documents are the basis

The documents that we should have on the yacht are the necessary yacht certificate, confirmation of yacht insurance, crew list. Depending on which flag the yacht is marked and in which country we are, these documents will always be slightly different. Among them is often found radio license, life raft safety certificate, safety card. Participants on a yacht should take their ID, passport and insurance with them. It is worth reviewing what laws and rules apply in a given country and in specific waters. An important element is the operator’s phone number, which should be on the first pages of the documents. It becomes useful in the case of a fault, accident or problem with documents.

 

What to bring with you

When planning a yacht charter, we must remember to properly pack our luggage. Due to the small amount of space on the yacht, it is better when you reduce the necessary things to a minimum and take the most-needed items in a soft bag. During the yacht charter, some things may seem obvious, but unfortunately we often forget about them. Remember to bring: shoes with a bright, rubber sole that will not leave marks on the deck, clothes for hot and cold weather, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, a flashlight with a battery supply, a sharp solid knife that can be helpful in many situations, sunglasses and a hat, as well as waterproof covers, maps and a lighter.

 

Packed lunch

The packed lunch is an integral part of the equipment of every crew during yacht charter. Although in most cases the crew will dine in port taverns or restaurants, we can get hungry on the board. It is worth choosing products with a long expire date and which do not spoil too quickly. Let’s avoid dairy products and meat products.

 

A good plan is the basis of a successful cruise, but the most important is good humor and positive energy! It won’t hurt a bit of spontaneity — change of route, unplanned mooring in the wild or landing to the mainland and visiting the city together.

 

Tourists have marked Costa Rica as the perfect vacation destination because it is a beautiful country in Central America with so much to offer. Between the rainforests, 300 beaches, cloud forests, volcanoes, waterfalls, national parks, wildlife, luxury hotels, spas, restaurants, and more, you will never run out of things to do in this vibrant country.

But above all else, this slogan is a positive approach to life. Look at the fantastic reasons below why you need to visit this amazing country.

Explore the National Parks

Costa Rica boasts of 27 national parks that are home to 5% of the world’s biodiversity. This is not just all about the jungle, but it also includes cloud forests, coral reefs, rainforests, dry forests, and swampy areas. The government manages the national parks so entrance is sometimes free, or if with a fee, it is very affordable. One of the most popular things that people like to do here is to hike the Tenorio Volcano National Park. There, you can see glorious views of the Celeste waterfalls.

Dare to Discover Various Volcanoes

Most tourists are amazed to hear that Costa Rica is home to 6 active volcanoes and more than 60 dormant ones. The most famous volcano is the Arenal with so many tourists coming to see its majestic form. Apart from hiking its rugged terrain, people like to swim in the geothermal hot springs at its foot. Because of this, there are many lux resorts and spas that take advantage of the all-natural sulphur warmed water with healing properties.

Get to Know a Biodiverse Wildlife

Because the Costa Rican government has made it their mission to allot over 30% of the country to serve as a natural park, there are many natural places for various animal breeds to thrive. Wherever you go in this beautiful country, you will encounter a lot of diverse wildlife. To date, there are over half a million species of animals, including the exotic ones like scarlet macaws and howler monkeys.

Enjoy the Water

With more than 800 miles of pristine shoreline on both the Caribbean and Pacific sides of the country, Costa Rica has many beach resorts and water activities for you to enjoy. You could go to a surf camp in Costa Rica if you’ve got your heart set out on a thrilling adventure to ride the waves. There is also snorkelling, scuba diving, boating, banana boating, jet skiing, parasailing, and more. If you enjoy a tamer activity, you may want to go to Tamarindo to look at sea turtles or to sunbathe in the powdery white beaches.

Try Local Coffee

If you need a caffeine fix, you will be happy to know that Costa Rica is known to serve some of the best coffee in the world. This place is a haven for java lovers. Ticos themselves drink at least six cups of coffee in a day. Coffee plantations abound, with the coffee industry as one of the primary driving forces of their economy.

Final Word

There are so many more attractions to explore, do, and see in Costa Rica. Immerse yourself in the “Pura Vida” way of life, so you can come home relaxed and refreshed ready to face your days with a bright smile on your face. After all, this is the true essence of a vacation. You need a breather so you can learn to appreciate the blessings that abound in your own life even more.

Everybody gets excited when an upcoming vacation is approaching. With all the excitement, people may forget to plan and end up not having a relaxing time at all. So if you are headed to a pool villa in Bali for a vacation, do not let your eagerness and excitement get the better of you. Do a little research about the area first so that you can know what to do and what not to do in Bali.

Here are some tips to help you out on your Bali vacation.

Dress like a local

Bali is a tourist trap. Bali locals can easily smell a first-time tourist in their country. So if you do not want to be swarmed by locals that force-sell their trinkets on you, then dress not to impress. Instead, dress like a local and try to blend in by keeping a low profile.

Bali weather is also warm all year round, so if you are spending time in Bali, do not pack too many pants. They will probably end up inside your pool villa in Bali since you would rather wear shorts the whole time you are there.

Know proper Balinese etiquette

Bali is filled with old temples. Although they have become famous tourist attractions, these temples are still the sites for religious practices and traditions. Dress modestly and appropriately when visiting Balinese temples. Do not go inside temples wearing anything but a bikini as this may be offensive to the locals. Temple guests are required to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and the upper arms. When entering a temple, it is a best practice to wear a traditional Balinese sarong. Also, do not be loud and boisterous when visiting temples since other people may be there for prayers.

General safety tips

 

• Pickpockets. Although a lot of people call Bali “paradise,” it also has its share of snakes and hazards. Areas filled with tourists are also filled with unscrupulous individuals who would take advantage of a naïve tourist. Be careful with pickpockets and always carry your wallet and relevant documents on the front portion of your body so that you can quickly feel them.

 

• Taking the taxi. When travelling from your pool villa to other Bali locations, walk if you can. However, if you must take a taxi ride, then ask for referrals to which taxi company to trust. It is a harsh reality that there are taxi drivers in Bali that are dishonest and would try to cheat you into paying for higher fares.

 

• Money changing. When in Bali, be careful when you need to change your money into their local currency. There are always dishonest money changers that will fleece you with your hard-earned money. If you can, avoid having your money changed in the uncertified shops. Also, try to use international credit cards whenever you can. If you need to change your money, ask the hotel front desk to convert your money for you. Pool villa Bali Hotels usually have lower exchange rates as compared to the money changers.

 

• Smoking. If you are a heavy smoker, limit your smoking to the confines of your pool villa in Bali. Bali has recently passed a “smoke-free” law in most public areas. If you need to smoke, it is a good practice to ask your hotel’s concierge if it is allowed or ask for the location of the smoking area.

 

Remember to research first on Balinese culture and customs before visiting so that you will have a worry-free vacation.

Nowadays, people cannot live without their mobile devices. You can quickly get in touch with your friends, relatives and business associates with mobile phones. For business, having a mobile phone allows you to reach your colleagues, suppliers, clients and other stakeholders. However, when you have to travel abroad either for work or leisure, you can opt to activate your mobile network’s roaming services.

Activating your roaming service may result in an expensive phone bill. Luckily, you can minimize your phone bill with international sim cards such as a USA Sim Card when you are planning to travel to another country. Here are some of the advantages of having a USA Sim Card.

Device Compatibility

Travel sim cards are compatible with almost any type of GSM mobile device that requires a sim card. Mobile phones differ in the sizes of sim cards that they accept. Fortunately, sim cards come in three cut sizes, namely: standard sim card, micro sim card, and Nano sim card. Travel sim cards are also pre-activated, which means that you can use them immediately after you land in your country of destination.

You Pay Local Rates

When you purchase a USA sim card for your travel, you will be issued a US mobile number. This means that you only pay the local USA call rates. This is much cheaper than paying international roaming rates when you use your network’s roaming service. Having a USA sim card will allow you to save up some money.

Free Incoming Calls

When you have a travel sim card, you can receive incoming calls without having to worry about costs. The USA sim card comes with unlimited incoming and outgoing calls to US numbers. You can also use it to make phone calls in Australia because the sim comes with unlimited incoming and outgoing calls to Australian landline and mobile numbers.

Prepaid Only

Another advantage of a USA sim card when travelling to the US is that you get to pay for the calls and data usage that you use. You do not have to worry about hidden charges. USA sim cards give enough data for free to cover all your calls and data usage for the length of your US stay. However, the USA sim card can only be used for a maximum period of 30 days. If you need to stay longer than 30 days you can always bring extra USA sim cards with you.

Better than Local Sim Card

Although you may opt to purchase a local sim card once you land in the US, it might not be such a good idea. That’s because some stores may require you to provide proof of residency to purchase a local sim card. With a USA sim card, you immediately know the number you are going to be using once you land in the US. You can already let your friends and relatives know of your US number. When you purchase a local sim card from the US, your friends in Australia will have to pay international rates when they want to get in contact with you while you are away.

So always prepare before leaving for the US, purchase one or two USA sim cards so that you can still be reached by your loved ones even when you are travelling.

Los Angeles, CA, is a city everyone should visit at least once. However, there is so much more to do in the city than just one visit will allow. Home of Hollywood and known as the city of angels and the city of sunshine, LA has so much more to offer than you may think. If you are planning a trip soon either by yourself or with friends and family, here are eight reasons to make Los Angeles your destination.

1. Stay in Style with a Rented Apartment

A great way to see Los Angeles or any city is to rent an apartment or room via a service such as Airbnb. These services allow you to experience the city the way a local would rather than paying for an expensive hotel. There are beautiful spaces to rent right in the city center, which will allow you to walk around like a true LA native. You should always exercise caution when renting a room. Look up your host on Go Look Up to view any public records or arrests they may have, and rest easy knowing you have the comfort of information on your future host.

2. See All-Star Comedy Shows

One of the big draws of Los Angeles is their all-star comedy scene. Go see an open mic at The Comedy Store or the Laugh Factory, and be prepared for some famous faces to pop up for one night only and treat you with laughs.

3. Go Star-Seeing

As many know, there are hosts of celebrities who live in the city of angels. There are even tours you can take which will show you the neighborhoods where many of the stars live. See if you can spot any famous folks or grab a few amateur paparazzi shots.

4. Hit the Beach

Los Angeles has almost 70 miles of coastline, meaning you will never be at a loss if you are looking for a beach day. Grab your best swimsuit and catch some rays at Santa Monica Pier or Venice Beach. Or, travel a short way to Malibu for some delicious fresh seafood and an afternoon at a more peaceful shore.

5. Sample Delicious Cocktails at Luxurious Bars

Los Angeles is home to tons of bars with celebrity chefs and mixologists offering the latest in hot cocktail trends. Treat yourself at Genever and sample some of the best gin cocktails in the country. However, there is always much more to do on vacation than drink alcohol. If you or anyone in your vacation crew are struggling with alcohol addiction or substance issues, look up drug rehab in Los Angeles. You or your friend can visit CAST Centers at 630 N Doheny Dr., West Hollywood, CA 90069 Phone: (323) 457-8208.

6. Enjoy the Beautiful Weather

A huge reason to visit Los Angeles and a reason many people move there is the beautiful weather year-round. Often, temps are in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit, meaning you can spend more time outside seeing what the city has to offer.

7. Be a Museum-Goer at Some of the Top Galleries

While LA itself is very full of art, vibrancy, and culture, it is also home to many established museums. Some of the most renowned and popular museums are the Getty Center, the Natural History Museum, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Learn something new and be enriched by the beautiful art and cultural artifacts housed in those walls.

8. Shop ‘Til You Drop

LA has one of the best shopping districts you could hope for in Melrose Place. Additionally, the city is home to several vintage shops and traditional mall stores, meaning you are sure to leave LA with at least one new fashionable outfit.

Heading off for a long weekend with your buddies is a great way to recharge your batteries and enjoy yourself for a little while. If you’re into gambling on a PA online casino, then heading to Las Vegas might be a great way to bring your passion to life for a change. If you’re into going hiking or heading to the beach, meanwhile, then there are plenty of options dotted across a map of the country.

Whatever you choose, it’s a time to get away from the responsibilities of wives, girlfriends and family life and instead indulge in some rest and relaxation with the guys – and you don’t need to go abroad to do it either. The US is full of great places to enjoy yourself with the guys. This article will provide some inspiration on places to go and things to do – without even having to leave the country!

Have a gamble

Placing a wager or two in a casino is a common activity for groups of guys heading off on vacation together. Movies and television programs are full of storylines featuring guys who go on that big trip to Las Vegas or similar, and it’s definitely possible for you to make it a reality. Before choosing a destination, though, why not ask the other guys whether they play casino games online? If they say yes, then Las Vegas is a smart move as the city is, of course, full of such places. If they say no, then heading to a place with other attractions including a casino is a great idea as it means that everyone in the group can do something they want on their vacation.

Go for a hike

Hiking is another way to enjoy the best that a trip with all the guys has to offer. It’s possible to incorporate hiking into a day trip, for example, though it’s often best to structure the whole vacation around the hike. That way, you and the guys can go back to nature a little by setting up camp! There are far too many hiking spots to mention in detail, but that’s part of the fun: finding somewhere that is close by enough for easy access but distinctive enough to offer great views is a good way to spend time. Yellowstone National Park is one to consider, while the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia is also worth looking into.

One of the best things about hiking as a group of guys, meanwhile, is that it offers a great opportunity to have fun and interesting conversations. It’s widely known that men aren’t always quite as talkative as women, and this can sometimes lead to guys feeling a bit down in the dumps. However, by heading off on a long hiking day, the conversation is sure to start flowing – and everyone is sure to feel good by the end of the trip.

Down to the beach

If you’re into the beach, meanwhile, then there are lots of options right here in the continental US. There are two long coastlines and a whole variety of micro-climates and weather to boot. Perhaps you and your buddies are into surfing: if so, there’s nothing quite like Ocean Beach or Salmon Creek on the West Coast. There are also some options on the East Coast, such as ‘The Wall’ in New Hampshire, as it is known, or Ocean City in Maryland in the summer months.

If you’d prefer to have a less active and more chilled-out time down by the waves, meanwhile, many of the country’s surf spots also offer plenty of other beachside activities. There are opportunities for walking, swimming and even just drinking by the beach in all but the more remote surf spots. If you’d like to combine your passion for gambling with some beach time, then why not consider a city that has it all? Atlantic City in New Jersey not only plays host to many casinos but also has a famous and swanky boardwalk.

The US offers a wealth of places to visit for a vacation, and if you’re off on a guys’ vacation, then there are plenty of relevant options to pick from that are sure to please even the pickiest of guys. Whether it’s the rocky climbs of mountain ranges such as the Appalachian Trail or the surfing hotspots of California or New England, there’s a whole wealth of choices for you and your friends.
