twitter.com – We’ve been doing a series of travel tips for awhile now, and this is our next installment. It’s inevitable – you’re going to have to leave your house at some point in time. By doing these “places to visit” videos, I’m hoping that you’ll make time for some fun and sightseeing while you travel. This list was sent in by chat regular Craighton. He was an attendee at Gnomedex, and worked right alongside Kat and our volunteers, even though he had paid for a ticket. He’s a great, hardworking young man and I’m very happy to have him as part of our community. Craighton is actually from right here in Seattle, but his family traveled to Whistler, Canada recently. He wanted to share some of the places he visited while there with all of you. chris.pirillo.com – http

Things to know when traveling to Costa Rica

gutenk — Tue, 19 Apr 2005 21:44:22 +0000

Before traveling outside your native country to another country you should prepare yourself. Learning about the country before you go can prevent common problems or confusion. Cultures vary throughout the world and sometimes a simple misunderstanding can become a big deal. Learning about the basic life, culture and laws of a country you are traveling to can help you to be prepared and have an enjoyable vacation. The basic things you need to know include how to get around, business hours and various other points. Once you get to Costa Rica you need to know how to get around from place to place, especially if you are not within walking distance of your destination. Buses are the main form of transportation. It is the most cost efficient and easiest way to get around. Do be aware that the buses in Costa Rica are small and sometimes cramped. You will not be able to take along luggage and if you need a lot of legroom you will be in trouble. Another form of transportation is a rental car. They are quite more expensive and you need to have insurance that will cover the rental car in case of an accident. Also know that most rental cars are standards, so if you do not know how to drive one you may be out of luck. Business hours in Costa Rica are much like that in the United States. Typically they run from 8 or 9 AM to 3 or 5 PM. Everyday a lunch break takes place between noon and 2PM. Also on Sundays most places will be closed. Costa Rica runs on Central Standard time, which means some of those traveling from the US may get to avoid jet lag all together. The healthcare system in Costa Rica is very advanced. They have an excellent system that offers up-to-date medical care in modern hospitals. You can most often find doctors that speak English as well. These basic facts will help you to get used to life in Costa Rica, but there are some more things you should get to know. In Costa Rica there are some legal things you need to know. If you are renting a car be aware that Costa Rica is a good place to have an accident. Drivers here rank low for auto accident rates. The speed limits are posted either on signs or painted on the pavement and you should always be aware of them. The speed limits range from 45 to 55 MPH in general. Costa Rica laws require that all luggage is screened through customs and declarations must be filled out for certain items like food and anything valuable. Alcohol is legal for those over the age of eighteen. Also be aware that prostitution is legal in Costa Rica for those over eighteen. When you are ready to leave Costa Rica you should know you will be required to pay an exit fee approx. 27. 00. These helpful hints about legal do’s and don’ts will help you avoid problems while in Costa Rica. It is always nice to know about little things that are often overlooked on travel websites or in brochures. The water heaters in hotels in Costa Rica are not like those in the United States. You will find they are mostly plastic tubes with an electrical gadget in the nozzle. This means hot water may not always be hot. The busiest time in Costa Rica is during what is called the high season. The high season is between December and May. You may find that getting reservations can be difficult during this time. You usually do not have to tip while out in Costa Rica. A 10% tip is added to your bill. Another good thing to know is that the sewer systems can handle toilet paper unlike those in other countries. The water system in Costa Rica is treated and safe to drink. The electricity in Costa Rica is the same as in the United States. They do not use the grounding prong in some locations, so be aware of the need for adapters for this reason. Dancing is big in Costa Rica and you can find dance clubs all over. Laundry mats are not common in Costa Rica. Most people send their laundry out to be washed. Some vacation rentals offer a washer/dryer as an amenity. These helpful little hints can help you get through your vacation without a mishap. Costa Rica is a lovely, peaceful country. There is a lot to see and do. Once you have decided on Costa Rica get to know a little more about the country so you can enjoy everything it has to offer.

Packing For That Island Vacation – Top 10 Things to Remember

gutenk — Tue, 08 Feb 2005 00:26:42 +0000

To get the most out of your tropical island vacation, use this list to you through your pre-holiday preparations. The list consists of 7 points that you should not forget, for packaging, as well as 3 general suggestions to help you spend most of your next holiday island. 1. Passport – Although some islands do not need current passports for entry, it is important that your passport is not expired, and is not completed before and after your holiday. This allows easier entry into his house, and this is important in emergency situations. 2. Cash – While most large stores and restaurants accept credit cards, it is important to always bring a small amount of cash. Cash will be needed for things like taxis, small purchases and tips. 3. Protection from the sun – the last thing you want is to look at their festivals, like giant red tomatoes, and feel like a fireball. Even on cloudy days can be burned by the sun, in minutes released – especially if you are in or near water. Although, as a rule, sun on the islands, the exact type, brand or SPF want, it can not be. 4. Sunglasses – Not all in dark glasses when they are in the house, but the islands are a necessity. Sun brighter and more intense in the south. If on the water, glare from the sun reflecting the waters become even harder to understand without sunglasses or a hat. 5. Sandals – There is nothing worse than trying to hike through the sand with socks and shoes. Even if you walk the streets through the city, but in the end, and the sand in your shoes. Sandals or flip-flops are a necessity. They not only keep your feet cool and free from piles of sand, slip quickly and easily on and off. 6. Digital camera – even if each camera is better than nothing, a digital camera, you can travel hundreds or even thousands of images. You never know what you see when you are on the water or just walk around the island, it is important to always have a camera with me too. The best part of a digital camera is that you can take a lot of photos at once and not waste film. You never know, that photograph was taken, as sometimes the sun is too bright, or the wind is too strong. With a digital camera you can see the flexibility and the ability to capture the perfect shot. 7. Reading Material – If you are reading novels, or simply enjoy leafing through the magazine, necessary to bring the kind of reading material. Enjoy the sun, and the search can be very stressful, so nice to just sit and relax with a good book to have. It is also convenient if electricity and no stereo to listen to or watch television. 8. Pack Light – often people over updates when they go on an island vacation. The focus should be in bathing suits, shorts and jersey will be issued, so that requires a lot more clothes. Although, keep in mind, appropriate clothing may be necessary some of the best restaurants. Even small islands, carried out the security camera in a manual search of officials. There is nothing worse than including more packing luggage rummaged through and checked in parts. Packing light, as a rule, make the airport experience faster and smoother for you and other travelers. 9. Travel luggage – along with the island, small airlines and the limited flights coming lost or delayed baggage. Often, if there is too much luggage on the particular flight or if flight schedules are guaranteed to get the luggage left behind. For this reason, it is always wise to extra pair of clothes and swimsuits in your manual packaging, so you can start your vacation immediately, even if the luggage to do it with you. 10. Patience – Iceland life is much more laid back than life on the mainland. The overall pace of the game is slow, and the mentality is “adrift.” Do not waste your vacation disappointment with the island lifestyle. Relax and enjoy your vacation. If these 10 things in mind, you’ll be sure to get the best from each island vacation.
