Planning Your Summer Vacation



      What a relaxing picture. It is the summer and now you have time to plan some fun summer vacations. You have done allot in life and now want to experience more and really get the most out of your summer. We found  useful travel tools to use so you can plan the best vacation yet.


Plnnr

Planning a trip to a destination you've never been before is a lot of work. You must wade through guidebooks, recommendations from friends, newspaper and magazine articles, and travel sites and blogs. Plnnr helps organize all those resources, collecting up-to-date information and creating an itinerary for your trip, taking into consideration the amount of time you'll need at each attraction. Simply answer a few questions about your preferences, including the location, date, duration, theme ("outdoors," "best of," "culture," "with kids"), the intensity ("wake up late, here to rest" or "wake up early, see everything"), and level of luxury. Within seconds, Plnnr’s itinerary engine generates a trip plan complete with a map of the scheduled attractions. You can then customize your itinerary, removing places you don't wish to see and adding places that Plnnr left out. Plnnr also locates in-budget lodging. Right now, vacationers can get itineraries for 20 locations, most of which are outside of the United States (New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. are the three U.S. locations currently available), but the company is working on adding more.


TripIt

One of the hardest things about planning a trip is keeping all your travel plans organized. TripItorganizes all your plans in one place. Simply forward any confirmation e-mails you receive (flight info, car rental, hotel confirmation, etc.) to plans@tripit.com. TripIt then collates them and builds an itinerary for your trip—accessible online or from your mobile device. The site will compile flight numbers, gate info, and other important items so you're always in the right place at the right time with the right confirmation number. TripIt also lets users check in online, get flight status updates, check the weather, and get driving directions. The basics are free, but you can pay $49 a year for a Pro account, which sends mobile alerts about flight changes, delays, cancellations, and gate changes; finds the best alternate flights if your flight is cancelled; and gives you VIP privileges at a number of car rental agencies worldwide.


Tripping

The best travel tips come from locals, whether it's a restaurant that's not so promising on the outside but serves the best food around or a great wine bar that's not listed in the guide book.Tripping aims to make the world a better place through cultural exchange by connecting travelers with locals' travel tips. Tripping also works as a social network, pairing people for casual meetups and even free home stays. According to Tripping, the site aggregates and offers the widest selection of local home rentals on the planet.

Users (known as Trippers) make a profile to help the community learn about them and to help other Trippers connect with them. Trippers can rate other Trippers anonymously, so they can be sure they're staying with or hosting a trusted Tripper. They can also write testimonials to serve as references. To get a "Validation icon" on their profile, Trippers can confirm their identity and address through a face-to-face video chat with someone from the Tripping team.


Wanderfly

Since everyone's looking for something different from their travel experience, a general guidebook may not always cut it. Wanderfly combines elements of Pinterest with those of review-based travel websites. Users can select what kind of things they're looking for in a trip, such as "trendy," "food," "off the beaten path," "adventure," or "authentic," and Wanderfly will provide suggestions of 24 cities it thinks you'll like. Click on a suggested city and you'll have the option of searching for hotels and airfare. Users make Pinterest-like boards for cities they live in, have travelled to, or are interested in visiting. They can bookmark favorite restaurants, parks, attractions, and shops onto a particular city's board. For example, if you have a trip to Portland coming up, you can start pinning places you want to visit, like Voodoo donuts, to your Portland board so you'll be sure to remember to visit that sweet spot. Users can follow other users to view new content as they recommend it.


Airbnb

If a hotel's penthouse suite is too pricey, you can stay in an actual house (or apartment). On Airbnb, people can list their homes, and also discover and book accommodations around the world. The kinds of accommodations range from flats to tree houses to castles and even to entire countries. Most of the reasonable properties are listed for less than the average hotel room, and in many cases, the owner of the rental is happy step in as a local guide, pointing guests to the best spots in the area. Rentals are available in more than 19,000 cities in 192 countries, and more than five million nights have been booked since Airbnb's start in 2008. The site is free to use for both hosts and guests, and hosts can be assured that their property will be covered for any loss or damage due to theft or vandalism with a $50,000 guarantee. The site also has an Android and iPhone app, making it easy to book while on the go.


Jetsetter

Jetsetter, Gilt Groupe's presence in the travel industry, gives users a peek into the world of luxury and adventure travel at a fraction of the normal cost. Jetsetter uses the same "flash sale" concept as Gilt's other sites, offering Jetsetter-verified properties or experiences at a discounted rate (usually 50 percent off). A verified property is a place that has been visited by a member of the Jetsetter team of editors and correspondents and receives a positive review. Users can use the trip planner on the homepage to search for vacations by destination, interest, or hotel name. Along with hotels, Jetsetter also features "once-in-a-lifetime adventures," as well as weekend getaways. And if you'd rather stay in a rental property like an apartment, ski lodge, chateau, or villa instead of a hotel, you can also book that through Jetsetter.


Hipmunk

Searching for a flight is sometimes the most time-consuming part of vacation planning. Thankfully, there'sHipmunk. The site, which is also available for Android, iPhone, andiPad, lets users choose flights through a very intuitive visual timeline. Users look at flights in terms of departure and arrival time and can sort by "agony," price, duration, and number of stops. They can also filter to exclude early-morning departures, morning departures, and red-eyes. To adjust the date or destination without losing the original search, Hipmunk lets users open a new tab within the site. Additionally, it has a hotel search, which works in the same way as the flight search but shows the results on a map so that users can see the proximity to landmarks and other points of interest.


Zicasso

If planning and booking every detail of your trip sounds too overwhelming, you can turn to a company to save you time and maybe even score you deals.Zicasso is a free luxury travel referral service that connects travelers with travel agencies and tour operators. To get started, describe your dream trip by filling out a brief online questionnaire with basic info, such as the date, destination, number of adults and kids in the group, age group of the adults, quality of hotel, type of travel (explore on your own, be led by a tour guide), budget per person, and anything specific you have in mind. Within two business days, you'll receive a price quote and sample itineraries from up to three Zicasso-approved travel agencies. There's no obligation to purchase a trip, and you don't have to hand over any credit card information. If you decide to go with one of the suggested trips, you'll pay the travel company directly.


Glamping Hub

Toasting marshmallows, hiking, and sitting around the fire are just a few of the reasons why people enjoy camping. What many people don't enjoy, however, is going to the bathroom in the woods; forgoing showers; and sleeping on the cold, hard ground. With glamping, those who yearn to leave the city and become one with nature can do so, just in a more glamorous way than typical camping. Glamping Huboffers a variety of luxury campsites around the world. Glamping is a great eco-friendly alternative to a hotel since, in most cases, the construction of the abode is designed to take advantage of surrounding elements of nature. Most glamping sites also feature composting toilets, solar power, and working gardens. Glamping Hub lets users search by location, date, and number of guests to find a glamping site fit for a king.


Raveable

Before you book a hotel, make sure to check its rating. Raveable collects user reviews from sites like TripAdvisor, Yahoo! Travel, and VirtualTourist and aggregates them, highlighting the hotel's pros and cons. It also points out any special features like free breakfasts, pools, and airport shuttles. You can search for hotels by categories like romantic hotels, kid-friendly hotels, and special features like an in-room Jacuzzi or fireplace, lazy river pools, rooftop pools, and even topless pools. So far, the site has more than 70 million reviews of more than 165,000 hotels worldwide.

Click a hotel's review page to find helpful information, like whether or not you're getting the best bang for your buck and, if not, alternatives that are either a better quality for a bit more money or are cheaper and a higher quality. Raveable also pulls data in from BedBugRegistry.com and informs users whether there has been a report of bed bugs within the past 12 months.

These are great sites discovered by pcmag.com to use so you can come up with that one vacation of a lifetime.If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by email.

Activity Ideas for Spring


        March the first month during the spring season. We have experienced so many springs in our long life. That can make us wonder something. Did we get outdoors and make the most out of every season? If you wondered this, we did find some activities you can get involved in to make the most out of this beautiful time of year.



  • Hiking: an outdoor activity which consists of walking over different terrains and often on a trail. 



  • Backpacking: also known as trekking and is more intensive than hiking.



  • Dog hiking: can be highly enjoyable to exercise with pets.



  • Dog walking: get outdoors and taking the family pet for a walk can be a highly enjoyable exercise everyone looks forward to doing together



  • Nordic walking: walking with fitness poles.



  • Scrambling: rock-climbing or done indoors on prefabricated structures.



  • Waterfalling: includes hunting waterfalls and hiking with others with the purpose of finding and enjoying waterfalls.



  • Swimming: can be very enjoyable when weather permits and helps tone and shape the body.  Low impact is ideal for those with limited movement or joint motility issues and is a non-impact exercise.  Swimming can also be done indoors when the weather gets bad and is an activity enjoyed by everyone from small kids to even senior citizens.



  • Running: involves either jogging or distance running, which is a great form of exercise which gets the blood flowing, melts fats and raises the heart rate, all of which are excellent for those trying to lose weight and stay in shape.



  • Mountain cycling: a mountain activity which can be fun for someone of more advanced fitness levels.



  • Skiing: can be either on water or snow, great fun for the whole family.



  • Windsurfing: a fresh water activity which many enjoy and is physically challenging and mentally stimulating.



  • Tree climbing: great for bringing out a person’s inner child and as long as someone does not have preexisting knee or joint problems, it is a great way to stretch and work out all the muscles of the body.



  • Rock climbing: for more advanced fitness levels and is adventurous and challenging.



  • Kayaking:  a water sport which is great for exercising the upper body.



  • Canoeing:  slower than kayaking and is an enjoyable weekend activities many families observe.



  • Rafting: for the more physically fit individuals, not something to be done alone, but rather under the watchful eye of a guide that has been properly trained and has vast experience.



  • Caving: exploring caves



  • Photography:  photography is not only a creative outlet, but when taking pictures of nature it calls.



  • I know this is a long exhaustive list from Healthy Living by Dana Fenton for you to read. Hopefully, some of these ideas will spark you to get outdoors and enjoy the spring season.If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by email.

    Menaingful Ideas for Valentines Day



          Valentines Day is approaching and we have celebrated it many different ways over the years. Now, we look out and think that this Valentines Day should be more on the meaningful side not just the standard buy  the Valentines Day gifts and that is it.We found some ways to make this year more meaningful for you and your significant other.

    • Concentrate on your partner. Focus on how special they are to you. Instead of stressing about the perfect Valentine's gift, think about all the fun, silly, spunky, sexy, serious and loving things that this person does for you. Think about who he or she is. What makes them smile? What are they truly passionate about? What small little things could you do every day that would make them feel more loved?

    • Under-promise and over-deliver. Make promises early and make them often—just keep them. No emergency is more important than love. Show your love and respect by honoring your time together and your commitments. Leave work early and call them on the way home to say you just couldn't wait to see them. Ask if they'd like you to pick up something special before you get there

    • Be a mirror. We reflect the world around us, the good, the bad and the ugly. Be mindful of your partner's moods. When you're approached with love and joy, mirror it back and they'll feel especially loved and close to you.

    • Note it. Love notes are a sure way to inspire a loving connection every day of the year. They don't all have to be sappy poems. Buy a calendar, keep it in the bathroom and write a reason a day that you appreciate and admire your one-and-only. Follow the object of your affection to the store or the dry cleaners and leave a note on their car in the parking lot. Drop them in a purse or write them on the bathroom mirror with a dry erase pen for a pleasant surprise to wake up to.

    • Plan a dream date that won't cost you a dime. Tell this person that the only topic of conversation is to hear about their dreams, what they love, what they want to do before leaving the planet, what they'd like to learn, where they'd like to travel, and who they most admire. Let them talk freely without stopping and then write a few down later and help create those dreams.

    • Prepare a romantic meal or just pick up restaurant delivery on the way home or have one of the online gourmet delivery options deliver a five-course meal to your doorstep. Dim the lights. Play Sinatra or another one of their favorites and tidy up the kitchen , too!

    • Make the very last moment of your day together special by kissing them softly, accommodating a simple request like water or Kleenex, pulling the covers up to their chin, touching their forehead and telling them how much they're valued.
    We hope this helps you in finding ways to have a more meaningful Valentines Day than years past.A thank you goes out to WikiHow for thier important information that was used in this blog.If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by email.

    Experiencing Joy While Aging !



             Stereotypes are meant to be broken. There is allot of stereotypes that exist while you are getting older.  For instance, older  people  are  more miserable and depressed all of the time. That could not be further from the truth. Web MD and many other sites show studies that when people get older they actually  get happier. It would be interesting to know how they get happier. We found an article by Jonathan Young that mention many reasons why they can become happier.

    1. We can enjoy life. We are often playful and like to laugh. We are starting to move beyond the need to look cool. This leads to all kinds of fun, at unexpected moments. Even our idiosyncrasies can be quite entertaining. When we hit a bump, we are sometimes bemused at the ridiculousness of life. We also enjoy recalling the oddities we have witnessed. Some of them have been amazing. We've had enough disenchantment for a lifetime. We're willing to be enchanted again.
    2. We make the most of what we have. We are finally gaining some perspective and even a little wisdom. We have a bit more inner stability. We have the guidance of memory that often routes us around trouble. We are coming to terms with our limits, and mainly celebrate what we can do. At long last, we seem to have a sense of who we are. We like ourselves more than we expected. We are getting better at trusting our own tastes and preferences. We appreciate the freedom to indulge in our interests, new and old. A grateful heart lets us take pleasure where we find it.
    3. We appreciate people. Friends, acquaintances, and even strangers have unexpected qualities. Their faces are surprising in ways we didn't notice before. Also, we have decided that most people are good enough as they are. There's no need to change anyone. We realize it wouldn't do much good to try, anyway. We appreciate those who have been kind to us. We have received a great deal of affection over the years, and such gifts last. We have the friendship and love of a lifetime with us always, even from the people who aren't around anymore. We are thankful to have had good company on the journey.
    4. We accept our flaws. We don't have to be perfect. On most days, we relish the diversity of our personalities. We can be flexible or stubborn, clueless or profound, depending on the moment. We tend to honor the delicate parts of ourselves. A life with nothing to be sorry about would be rather uneventful. We are even starting to appreciate our past disasters. Old humiliations have become essential parts of a fine story. We occasionally even feel a tender fondness for the ragged edges of our lives.
    5. We are at home in the world. We enjoy our surroundings and often discover new secrets about familiar places. Watching the explorations of small children and animals can delight us. The piece of cake we allow ourselves is especially delicious now that we don't indulge often. The scent of a flower or gentle touch of a breeze seems more sensually rich than before. Sometimes, we glance around our home spaces to relish how our belongings reflect our personalities. Perhaps we got more efficient in the pleasure department. Maybe, having had our share of difficulties, we just appreciate things more.
    6. We have less to prove. We are learning to avoid comparing ourselves with others - or even with our former selves. It is a relief when we can begin to overcome feelings of competition. We can sometimes even deal with envy as a bad mood, not to be trusted. By focusing on our best personal qualities, and favorite current interests, we can find something fulfilling in almost every day. We might have more contributions to make, but don't feel quite as driven to do something of great importance. Most of the time, we are able to work and play for its own sake, not to look good in the eyes of others. Now that the need to show off has eased a bit, finding opportunities to use our talents is a manageable task.
    7. We have strong priorities. We are getting better at tending to our deeper yearnings. Now that we're not in charge of fixing everything, we are free to devote our energies to neglected passions. It may be creative expression, reading, gardening, hobbies, or working on causes. Certain projects virtually call us. It might surprise friends that we are so energized by these activities, but we feel no need to explain ourselves. On most days, we use time in more immediate and present ways than ever before.
    8. We accept our moods. We know that life is rich with nuances of emotion. We like being happy, but indulging in a little grumpiness has its rewards, too. We can usually let sadness come and go when it wants, without making a big deal about it. Life has its ups and downs. No point getting frustrated when it won't help. We avoid fretting about things, if at all possible. We are often able to be philosophical about life's ordinary disappointments and tribulations. When we can accept our feelings, a natural buoyancy usually restores tranquility soon enough.
    9. We take time to reflect. We are able to ponder the inner life more than in the past. Allowing quiet to enter us seems to change the flow of time and make it larger. We find ways to open to the mysteries within. For some it is meditating, for others it is knitting, still others find it during a daily walk. It is simply being receptive to something beyond our ordinary thoughts. Partly, it is using the gifts of experience and long memory. Reflecting on fine moments in the journey reminds us of the riches of our lives.
    I think this article gives some great insight why you can experience joy while you are aging. Thanks to folkstory.com and Jonathan Young for his wonderful thoughts concerning this topic. If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by email.

    How to Look Younger Part 2 : Men



    You are what you wear. We have all heard that expression. When we get older, it is important to look young and feel young. However, we do not want to look like a wannabe teen model. That would be embarrassing. We need solid practical ways to look younger and be age appropriate. Smart- ticks- and -trips.net has some real effective ways to look younger and feel younger.


    Mens Tips for Looking Younger #1: Keep a Clean Shave or Well Groomed Facial Hair
    Keeping a clean shave gives men a sharper appearance and makes them look well kept.
    Keeping a tight shave limits the amount of gray hairs on your face and removes dead skin cells making your face smoother and more healthy and vibrant looking.For those who have some sort of facial hair getting a simple gray hair targeting dye may be an option worth trying.


    Tips for Men to Look Younger #2: Use aftershave and use it a lot!
    Aftershave has a couple of benefits. It shrinks your pours after application to limit dirt lying in them, makes you smell good, and hydrates the skin .  Shave keeps your skin from drying out and wards against wrinkles and sun damage! Consistent use will give you a younger looking appearance. A good smelling aftershave is very attractive to women. It has a fresh but manly smell and once again makes one come off as well groomed and kept. It is recommended that you use aftershave not only after a shave but every time you get out of the shower. Keep your face hydrated. Applying aftershave up to the bottom and to the right of your eyes where people tend to get wrinkles or "crows feet" is a good tip.

     Tips for Men to Look Younger #3: Exfoliate daily.
    As mentioned above removing dead skin cells gives a younger looking appearance.
    To remove old skin in the areas that you do not shave (ex. forehead), use exfoliate. Exfoliate is simply face wash with tiny microbeads mixed into the liquid.When you gently swirl and apply the face wash in the shower it gently removed dead skin cells.

     Tips for Men to Look Younger #4: Get a good hair cut.
    Finding a good barber or salon can be challenging but it is worth the effort. A well cut head of hair gives a clean and well groomed look.When finding the perfect barber who seems to cut your hair just right and is meticulous at what they do go every 5-7 weeks.A good haircut can make a world of difference. Keeping a shorter haircut also makes one look younger but is not mandatory when trying to stay and feel younger looking.The longer the hair the more you can see gray and the messier it gets in wind and in bed.

     Tips for Men to Look Younger #5: Keep those other places shaved too.
    Keeping all the hair on your body shaved or groomed will always keep you looking younger. As men get older they grow longer, thicker (only where you don't want it), and grayer hair. Shave it all and frequently!
    The 3 areas that are most important: Your nose, your ears, and down below. Buy a simple eyebrow trimmer but use if for your nose and ears. They are cheaper, smaller, and more nimble than traditional ear and nose trimmers. They cost $5-$10, last for years, and are well worth the investment.Use a hair trimmer or razor for down below


    Tips for Men to Look Younger #6: Lose Weight and Get More Muscle
    Everyone knows as men age they generally lose muscle mass and gain weight. Well don't be in the "general" crowd.By controlling your eating and weight lifting only 2-3 times a week you will have a better younger looking body shape.Achieving this is not as hard as one might think. With a few changes in your daily habit you will be looking better in no time.


    Tips for Men to Look Younger #7: Keep your Heart Healthy
    Having a healthier heart slows down aging in all organs and parts of your body, including your skin! Exercising, losing weight, eating better, and gaining muscle are some of the main ways to improving heart health.

     Tips for Men to Look Younger #8: Stop Hair Loss or Keep it Short
    If you are losing your hair there are many products out there to limit, slow down, or stop it all together. A little hair is better than none unless you plan to keep a close shave or cut on your noggin.
    Propecia works very well and it is very easy to implement. You only have to take a pill once a day to stop hair loss. The downside to this drug is the price. If having hair makes you happy then it is worth the investment. Some pharmacies offer the prescription cheaper than others including on-line pharmacies for an option.If you think it's too late to stop hair loss or are not willing to take a medication to stop it then keep a close haircut. Having longer or ungroomed hair on the sides and back of your head with a bald top make a man look much older. Totally shaving your entire head is also a good look for many and is an option.


    Tips for Men to Look Younger #9 Wear Sunscreen and Sunglasses
    Skin damage from the sun is one of the chief contributors to looking older. Using Sunscreen even sometimes reduces damage. Skin damage causes premature wrinkling and discoloration not to mention it is the leading cause of the most common cancer in the U.S., skin cancer. Skin damage occurs over time so it's never to late to start taking action


    Tips for Men to Look Younger #10 Dress Fashionably 
    Was going to keep it to 9 tips but could not leave this important one out. The way you dress directly reflects how people perceive your confidence, style, and age. Dressing sharp and fashionably can take years off of your look. Try new styles and find clothing that fits you well. Take the time to shop. I know most men do not like shopping but taking the time to do it will pay for itself many times fold when it comes to looking younger.

    These are great ways to look younger and feel younger. If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by email.

    How to Look Younger Part 1 : Women




                   Dammed if you do and Damned if you don't. This saying can be said in what we wear especially  getting older. If we try to dress too young, we become that embarrassing older woman thinking she is a teen model. On the other hand, we can dress  too old like we are already retired. However, there are ways we can look younger and take years off of our age. With help from younger.com, they will give practical suggestions on ways you can shed years off your age.

           How you dress really affects how old you look. Many women make frequent fashion mistakes that help them look older, rather than younger. A good base to good style are following Project Runway's Tim Gunn's style guide. These 10 basic essential ensure that you never look too old.

    · Basic Black Dress - The basic black dress has been around for a long time. It is often called the "Little Black Dress", and it's true that shorter skirts on the basic black dress, when they hit you in the right place, can be more flattering than a long black dress.

    · Trench Coat - The trench coat is one of the pieces that is both classic and currently a hot fashion item. Most any store sells this piece now. It is great for fall and you can pick it up in a wide range of lengths.

    · Dress Pants - Although it doesn't say black, this is probably what you want to look for. Black is flattering on all figures and goes with everything.

    · Classic Shirt - The white shirt is a definite classic. But it can also come in many different styles to make it look trendy and not dated or like a man's piece of clothing. Find one that accentuates your best attributes and minimizes trouble spots. For example, if you have wide shoulders, stay away from large collars.

    · Jeans - Everyone has a pair of jeans, but does everyone have a pair of jeans that make them look great? The wider leg, low-rise jean style has been popular (and still is) but a narrower leg is coming back along with a higher waist, which eliminates the unflattering "muffin top" look.

    · Any Occasion Top - Find something you look great in that can look respectable under a jacket but bring on the fun after hours.

    · Skirt - If you need dress pants then you also need a skirt. A skirt is womanly and can be flirty or businesslike. Nowadays women do not wear many skirts or dresses, which makes a lot of them fall into a rut of dressing sloppily or like men.

    · Day Dress - Women also are not wearing as many dresses anymore. It was certainly liberating to go from the '50s when women wore dresses every day to wearing more practical pants for gardening, exercising, and so forth. But the dress does not have to be abandoned altogether. They can be very flattering, and there is nothing wrong with "dressing up" for daytime.

    · Jacket - A jacket does not have to be masculine. Find one with a proper, fitted shape. Women's jackets should follow the silhouette of a woman's body and accent the hourglass curve at her waist. It is also a perfect piece to put with the skirt or dress pants, and white shirt. Or make it casual with a pair of jeans.

    · Sweatsuit Alternative - As mentioned before, women wear fewer skirts and dresses these days. But some women have taken casual to the extreme and spend days on end in sweatsuits. It is possible to be casual and comfortable without looking like a slob. Find a comfortable material (that's why this doesn't say jeans again – denim is not as comfortable as a nice soft cotton) that you would want to wear every day. It could be khakis, cords, a cotton dress, or much more.


               We hope this helps you to look younger and more importantly feel younger. Next month, we will cover part 2 of  how to look younger focusing on men.If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by email.
