So you decided to go to Disney Land Park? Great decision. If you have never been in Disney give it a go, is fantastic. As may already know Disney is a big corporation and you can find many different disney parks. Disney is one of that places, where you have so many options to go. I have to confess I’m a disney land fanatic, I love it , and if you are going with your kdis, you will have a lovely time. Disney is one of that parks that many times adults enjoy more and even the kids.

Usually when you buy a disneyland park ticket you need to keep in mind the ticket is for a full day and that means that you should take as much advantage as possible for the money you are paying. This mean: wake up early and try to arrive to the park as pronto as possible. Disney land parks open pretty early and usually close late at night time after their last show and their fireworks.

To buy tickets you can usually check places like Ebay, trust me you can get great deals from Auction sites. The reason is simple to understand, many families face sometimes personal problems and they need to cancel their holidays and the tickets can’t be refunded. That’s why this tickets usually go for a very good price.

You can find disney land  park tickets for all the disney parks including Los Angeles, Orlando, Florida, Hong Kong, and Paris. Regarless the park you want to book, it is clear that it is a good investment.

Tickets are not expensive at all, but if why not trying to safe money in the entry and then expend the rest with your family.

Always remember that the whole disney experience is not cheap ,and sometimes the basic things can be very expensive, like drinks, ice creams and snacks. So be smart and take some food with you and try to explain to your kids that they can’t buy all the toys in the stores. Make with them a plan and try to explain them they are only allowed to buy one toy from the disney stores locates in the park.

Disney is all about imagination and if you plan your trip well and get the tickets that you need , fro sure will have a great day out. One of the best advices I ever got was to plan your route around the park, so try not to take the most logical route. The reason? well, the answer is pretty obvious: almost all the tourist take the easiest route, and if you just follow them, you will face longer waiting time to enter the rides and shows.

So why not starting from the back?

Try to take a train or minibus as soon as you enter the park and tackle the park from back to front, in that way you avoid the rush, the long waiting time and you have more time to enjoy a larger number of attactions.

November continues to be the low season for the Great White Sharks and it is the month for us to close down our operation and to go on a much needed holiday.

We are leaving Cape Town early in the morning and headed up the famous Garden Route, to Wilderness.

The Garden Route is a captivating world of lakes, rivers, estuaries and beaches gently unfolding against a backdrop of lush forest and lofty mountains. We stayed at the Wilderness National Park at Ebb and Flow camp in log cabins. What I liked so much about the area is that there are loads of activities for the family, from the beach, walks, birding, canoeing and more. I think next time we will definitely plan on staying for longer. For more info contact Wilderness National Park on Tel +27 (0)44 877 1197 or try Shark Cage Diving

Whist there we also took a train ride on South Africa’s only scheduled steam train, the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe train. It was a lovely train ride, through some beautiful country side as well as alongside the ocean. The train departs from the Transport Museum in George (well worth a visit to see all the olden day trains and cars), and ended up in Mosselbay at the Diaz Museum.

We also went to Addo Elephant National Park, where we did a bit of camping. I was really worried about camping with a little baby and a toddler, but rest assured, everything went just fine. We saw loads of animals: Zebra, Buffalo, Kudu, Warthogs, Hartebeest, Jackal, Ostrich, monkeys and many more animals, and of course…loads of Elephants. The bird life there was spectacular too. For more info contact Addo Elephant Park on +27 (0)12 428 9111

Then we headed inland to cross the Baviaanskloof. This area is truly spectacular. Declared a National Heritage site, the area comprises of approximately 270 000 ha. of unspoiled, rugged mountainous terrain. The vegetation also changes dramatically from thick bush, to fynbos and then semi desert scrubland. You will definitely need a 4×4 to cross the kloof and some of the bends in the mountain pass are not for the fainthearted. The scenery is truly breathtaking. We stayed at a working farm (sheep, veggies, Angora goats) for the evening and had a very peaceful braai under the stars. Shark Cage Diving

Then we headed of to Montegu. Montegu is one of my favorite areas because of the hot springs there. The village is quaint and the area is well known for its wine route. We did some wine tasting of course and stayed at another farm just outside the area.

We came home to a very windy Cape Town, and as I write this, it is still a gale force wind outside. We have had to cancel a week’s worth of shark trips now, and I am hoping the weather dies down before our film shoot that is starting tomorrow.

Well, there was no shark news to report, but I hope you enjoyed this newsletter about our travels. Next month we head of to Botswana and so the journey continues……Shark Cage Diving

Once you and your family have decided to take a diving vacation, there are a few things you should do to make sure that your planning effectively. Learning the basics of scuba diving and getting your body prepared for diving are among the key things you’ll need to do before your vacation, but don’t forget to get ready to have fun! Here are some diving vacation tips:

Whenever you can, take a swim. Whether this is done in the backyard pool, at your local club, or training at school, you have to ensure that you have a lot of swimming practice so that you will be familiar with the water and know how to get around underwater with ease. Even though your vacation should be fun, you have to know how to react and get out of harms way in a natural way, hence swimming practice is an ideal activity. Being comfortable while moving around in water is an ideal step when you try to learn scuba. Another tip is to try wearing scuba gear while swimming so that you familiarize your body with the feeling of wearing the scuba gear in a larger body of water.

When you buy scuba gear, try to get the best. You should not wait for the last minute to buy scuba equipment. Shop around at your local scuba shop or sporting goods store for dry or wetsuits and even diving gear well before you even go on your diving vacation. By doing this you will be able to try on all your scuba gear ahead of time and find any defects. You can also go online and check for great deals on scuba gear through many online stores.

Taking diving lessons – as many times as you need to. While taking scuba diving lessons is necessary if you’re going to be taking a diving vacation, don’t be afraid to take lessons more than one time. You want to make sure that you’re enjoying yourself on your vacation, and you can’t do that if you’re constantly worried about how you’re doing while you’re swimming. It usually takes about two months for you to complete all the courses that are required in order to be a qualified scuba diver, so don’t be afraid to ask questions and practice until you feel comfortable.

Figure out what type of diving you want to do. Taking the basic scuba diving lessons is essential, but you may want to broaden your interests so you can find out just what you want to do on your diving vacation. For instance, if wreck diving interests you, then try to get enrolled in some courses that will teach you how to dive through wrecked ships and artifacts to find treasure. If you’re into technical diving, take a course or two that teaches you to hold your breath for long periods of time and swim with precision. And, if free diving is more your speed, learning how to play hockey or rugby underwater may be your idea of a great diving vacation.

It is becoming increasingly usual that the most recently built, small sized, hotels are being described as a “boutique” hotel. In the incredibly huge city of London, the capital of the UK, and in the many other major cities of the planet, you can now find a collection of excellent boutique hotels. The article below examines what makes a hotel “boutique” and where the first ones appeared

Boutique hotels are typically rather small hotels owned by a couple, family or small enterprise. However, in the last few years a few international hotel chains, in response to the increased demand for boutique hotels, have started to build their own. It is nearly fact that virtually all boutique hotels are individually styled with decoration commonly based on a theme. Such themes are commonly applied throughout the whole hotel. Such an example may be based on a particular period of history such as the eighteenth century. Every now and again a theme may be used in each different room rather than the whole hotel.

Which Was The First Hotel Described As A Boutique Hotel?

Boutique hotels first appeared in the last few years of the nineteen eighties in New York (USA). A small number of other hotels claim to have been boutique hotels as far ago as 1981, in other cities such as London in Great Britain, and San Francisco (USA). The first hotel to be described as a “boutique hotel” was the ‘Morgans’ hotel, New York, in 1984. These earlier claimants were, therefore, subsequently described as such and can not, really, claim to be the first.

‘Morgans’ hotel was owned by Steven Rubell and Ian Schrager who had commissioned the Parisian designer Andrée Putman to create a unique, highly stylized, hotel in New York. Putman created the hotel in what has become known as an “America meets Europe” fashion. In promoting his hotel Steven Rubell wished to set his hotel apart from, what he considered to be, the plain and boring hotels of the larger chains. He described other hotels as “department store” hotels and his own as a “boutique hotel” to show the distinctive difference – thus the phrase entered the English language for the first time.

Enjoyable Boutique Hotels In The U. K.

42 The Calls (hotel) in Leeds claims to be one of the first to be built in The UK. The Calls was a hotel built in the carcass of an old corn mill and used that as the overall theme. Adding interest to the hotel is the fact that they have retained some of the original corn mill machinery but the hotel is also known for its wonderfully crafted hand made beds which appear in each room.

The Blake’s Hotel in South Kensington, London, is often quoted as being one of the first boutique hotels in the world but, although this appeared before Morgans in New York, for the reasons outlined above this claim is often dismissed. In recent decades there has been a sharp increase in the number of boutique hotels opening in various places within the United Kingdom of Great Britain with the largest number opening in London.

If you are in the process of planning a vacation to the UK and thinking about spending some time in London it is rather easy these days to find boutique hotels in London and, surprisingly it is equally as easy to find a cheap London hotel. Sometimes you are able to find a cheap boutique hotel but unfortunately this is rare.

camping is lots of fun. It’s like swimming or bicycling – you have a great time while you’re doing it, but you can be exhausted by it. Camping also means different things for many different people. Some folks take a fully-loaded RV with a surround sound home theatre system into the woods and call it camping. I don’t think that should be considered “camping.” I think that should be called “cheating.” In order to get the most out of real camping, following are great family camping tips for less stress and more enjoyment.

Besides your tent, what you will need for a successful Family camping event is bedding, a water carrier, food, necessary medical supplies, fire making supplies (matches, lighter, etc) and a mobile phone. If you have your dog with you, then you need to carry his or her food and a water bowl. There are some dogs that don’t mind carrying a backpack, but don’t over pack it. Everything else is just wants and not needs.

You might consider a separate tent for your kids, especially if they are teenagers. Most children enjoy their own space when they get older.

Don’t Drink the Water

The most practical of camping tips is to not risk drinking from any questionable water source, no matter how nice it looks or smells. Camping trips really go downhill when vomiting or diarrhea is involved. If you are not certain of the source, either carry a water sterilizing pen (very light) or boil water for ten minutes before using. Out of all the camping tips, please remember this – water is more important than food in order to stay alive. Should the worst happens and you need to abandon your food to a hungry bear (for example), give up the food. The water is more important.

Clothing

Bring far less of the regular stuff (like shirts, shorts, pants) and far more of the unusual than you would expect. Don’t forget raingear (raincoat and splash or waterproof pants) plenty of warm and cool stuff (including both a sunhat and warm hat).

Practice camping

Practice at least one night in the backyard (or basement, if you have a freestanding tent) before you go. At night you will want to be sure no little ones can get out of the tent. Bring some bedtime books and reproduce the bedtime ritual you have at home, including brushing teeth and going to the bathroom.
