Nacapuli - Some New Twists To An Old Favorite
Hike beyond the Ojo
I had hiked as far as the final water hole (ojo) at least a dozen times with anyone who visited me in tow. But I only recently continued up the canyon. The path is sometimes hard to find, but if you keep heading up the ravine, you will reach the end of the path after about one hour. The view is worth it a sweeping vista up and down the adjacent valley, all the way to the water.
Nacapuli Canyon starts out as an easy hike that becomes moderate, requiring some scrambling over boulders, up loose rock hills and through a tunnel in the rocks. And after the ojo, there are challenging sections with some haul-it-over-rocks required.
The path takes you through a narrow canyon surrounded by towering rock walls and lush green palm trees. The walls of the canyon are covered in various cacti, such as the ocotillo, cholla, and barrel.PBeyond the ojo, the rocks are even more spectacular, going from a pink sand color to deep rust. Green palms stand against a red cliff background on a blinding blue sky canvas.
More than just a great hike, Nacapuli offers bird-watching and an opportunity to explore native rocks, flora and fauna. Fresh water springs provide the canyon with a humid tropical micro-climate that makes for a refreshing break from the dry hot desert.
Bike there and back
Driving the dirt road to the canyon, you may not notice that there is an incline the whole way there something that becomes painfully obvious when tackling the route by bike. The upside to biking there is that it's all downhill home.
While coasting home, it's tempting to look at the view of the water in the distance. Several bone-jarring drops into potholes or over rocks in the road have reminded me to also keep an eye on where I'm going.
There's also plenty of wild life to distract you. I usually spot a number of interesting birds, including osprey and hawk. They are often perched on the tops of cacti, or soaring above the cliffs. Jackrabbit and roadrunner also frequent this area.
If you haven't yet explored Nacapuli, just do it. You won't be disappointed, no matter how short your hike in. And if you think you've already seen it, try it with a twist.

Bed And Breakfast Accommodations Explained
Bed and Breakfast, a term originated in the United Kingdom is a one of its kind in the hotel business. As the name suggests, the Bed and Breakfast, or B&B, offers accommodation and breakfast but not lunch or dinner. These are usually private homes that run the business as a primary or secondary mode of income and are usually small in size, with about 10 rooms or so. The profit motive is usually low.
In modern times, B&Bs have undergone some radical changes. It is now quite common to see a B&B offering free wireless Internet access, spas, free parking and other deals and discounts just like any other commercial establishments. B&Bs are quite popular in countries like United Kingdom, New Zealand, Cuba, Israel, Italy, Kyrgyzstan and all over North America.
The modern B&Bs are required by law to follow several safety regulations like fire escape plan and smoke detectors in the guest rooms. B&Bs are also members of professional trade associations - international, national, regional and local. The members meet now and then and share best practices and ideas. It is a general perception that members of B&B professional trade associations offer better service and stay.
Although B&Bs can be found in several countries, whenever one thinks of the term B&B, the image that comes to mind is a middle aged British gentleman and his portly wife who welcomes you with a smile and immediately lays down the rules of the house. Inside, there would be a comfortable drawing room with a fireplace and a wooden staircase leading to the guestrooms upstairs. The typical guestroom will be a cozy area that would have a wall to wall carpet, a TV or a radio, a small bathroom with a bathtub. On first glance, the rooms may seem very sparse, but that is the beauty of a typical British B&B room. It's a typical British establishment with British ambience. Although B&Bs have come up all across the globe, the quintessential flavor of a B&B is still associated with United Kingdom.

Yellowstone Vacations
When planning Yellowstone vacations, think about what activities will be available during your stay. ThereBs plenty to do no matter when you decide to visit.
If you are on a limited budget, try one of the many hotels within a few miles of one of the ParkBs entrances. Rooms with one queen bed start for as little as $59 a day in the low season. Many hotels also have honeymoon suites and family suites. Restaurants are within a short walking distance from most hotels.
No Yellowstone vacation is complete without a guided tour of the park. Ride in air-conditioned comfort during summer or enjoy the majesty of winter in Yellowstone from motor coaches specially adapted for travel over snowy terrain. Learn about the parkBs history, wildlife, geology, and current issues that affect the park. If you would rather go it alone, rental cars are available nearby.
Yellowstone vacations in winter can include cross country skiing and snowshoeing, as well as guided snowmobile trips. Summer time Yellowstone vacations can include hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, camping, and horseback riding. What are you going to try first?
Camping or overnight vehicle parking in pullouts, picnic areas, picnic grounds, or any place other than a designated campground are not permitted and there are no overflow camping facilities. However, camping is often available in neighboring communities and forests outside the park.
Camping in Yellowstone Park is limited to 14 days between July 1 and Labor Day to 30 days the rest of the year. There is no limit at Fishing Bridge RV Park. Check-out time for all campgrounds is 10:00 AM.
In addition to outdoor activities, you can visit the Yellowstone Historic Center, enjoy a play at the Playmill Theatre, observe grizzly bears and wolves at the Grizzly Discovery Center, see the effects of the 1959 earthquake at Quake Lake, or enjoy a tour of a real Old West town like Virginia City or Nevada City, both in Montana.
With a Yellowstone vacation one can see Cultural and historic resources that abound with more than 1,100 archeological sites. A museum collection of more than 379,000 cultural objects and natural science specimens and thousands of irreplaceable photographs and historic documents can be found at Yellowstone.

Two Days Of High RollinB In Calgary
There are two ways to go Chigh rollinBD in Calgary and this two day itinerary incorporates them both. On the first day you will have a blast in a local Calgary casino that is not far from downtown and the excitement it has to offer, as well as the boutique hotels and accommodations.
The Elbow River Casino is located just on the southern edge of Downtown Calgary and is conveniently close to the Elbow River and Stampede Park. It was opened originally in 1989, but was relocated to a new building in 2005, just a block from the original site. Here you will find round the clock gambling including poker, blackjack, craps roulette, and, of course, slots (over 600 slots to be exact). You will also enjoy the buffet selections featuring various creations each night of the week.
There is entertainment in addition to gambling as well. Live music is always easy to find on Friday and Saturday nights and the Elbow River Casino also features a regular running show.
After a day of gambling, you may want to do more gambling (depending on how much money you lose!) or it may leave you wanting to enjoy some of the finer Chigh rollinBD amenities of Calgary (they might actually be cheaper!). So, for your second day in Calgary, why not enjoy some of the local fine wining and dining and then doing a little dancing to finish off your trip.
One of the hot concepts in Calgary these days in the wine bar. One of the hippest wine bars to open in the city is the Vin Room on 4th Street. Here you will find a comfortable atmosphere with large leather chairs a large wine selection F the perfect place to sit and discuss your winnings from the night before. Note, however, that if you come on a weekend, the Vin Room may be a bit crowded. But, you wonBt be sorry if you wait it out. Also, if you are a bit hungry (but still full from your buffet at the casino the night before), youBll want to try some of the fantastic tapas created by Chef Kai Salimaki.
Finally, dance the night away. There are dozens of dance clubs and nightclubs that are open weekend nights and Tuesday nights for CLadieBs Night.D Go sexy chic at Tantra Nightclub & Lounge or enjoy a good oleB night of country music at the Cowboys Dance Hall.

Serviced Apartments F Why They Are Better Than Hotels?
Do you know that serviced apartments are a better accommodation option than luxury hotels while you are away from home? If you are not sure about it, let me clear a few things about serviced apartments so that you can judge yourself what is better?
Serviced apartments also referred as short stay luxury apartments are individual apartments available on rent to tourists or business travelers. One can enjoy all the homely comforts and facilities inside a luxury apartment. You will feel like a home away from home, due to the presence of all facilities just like your own home. These well furnished apartments are equipped with modern living amenities, all kinds of facilities for a comfortable stay, ready to cook kitchen with microwave and refrigerator, and the best audio visual entertainment systems to keep you engaged during leisure.
Why Serviced Apartments When Hotels Offer Same Facilities?
This is a common question that why one should rent a serviced apartments when luxury hotels provide similar facilities. Why one should experiment with a new kind of accommodation rather than opting a long term tried and tested way of living outstation. Yes it is true that hotels provide luxurious stay facilities and they are long term trusted place for outstation accommodation. But while living in a hotel room you will not be able to enjoy the spacious living being offered by short stay luxury apartments. To enjoy that spacious living you have to book a spacious suite. This is far more expensive than serviced apartments.
Another additional and exclusive facility that you get in serviced apartment is benefit of personalized food. You can cook your favorite meals in your personal Kitchen provided in short stay apartments. You no longer need to have those spicy and unhealthy food served in restaurants of luxury hotels.
This is not the end of facilities offered in short stay serviced apartments. You can also enjoy facilities like swimming pool, health clubs and gymnasium to satisfy your fitness needs. Privacy is another matter which attracts people towards short stay apartments. People staying in serviced apartments can enjoy living in complete privacy.

Celebrate Independence Day In Gatlinburg, Tn
The people of Gatlinburg are so excited about the 4th of July that they don't waste a single minute to celebrate. On July 3rd, when the clock strikes midnight, Gatlinburg kicks off its Midnight Independence Day Parade. For over 30 years the Smoky Mountains have had the first 4th of July parade in the country and this year the tradition stands firm.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Appears at Parade
This year there will be a historical twist on the parade. In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took a ride through the Smoky Mountains to dedicate the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To mark the 75th anniversary of the parkBs establishment, actor David Keith (famous for his role in An Officer and a Gentleman) will portray President Roosevelt in his motorcade at the start of the parade. The motorcade will include costumes from the 40s as well as antique cars and motorcycles from the 1920s and 1930s.
David Keith is a native of East Tennessee and a Golden Globe-nominated actor. The fact that the Smoky Mountains are his home makes David Keith the perfect selection for this honorable role.
River Raft Regatta
Midday on July 4th, all attention is turned toward the Little Pigeon River. ThatBs the site of the annual River Raft Regatta. Sponsored by the United States Navy, this unmanned race can be entered by anyone using anything that floats except balls or plastic eggs. Some of the previous entries were made of matchsticks, floatable rocks and rubber ducks. In other words: the more creative your float, the better.
There is no charge for admission, so start thinking about what to make your raft from. Even if you donBt enter, youBll want to make your way to the finish line at RipleyBs Aquarium of the Smokies to see the winner.
Spectacular Fireworks Display
Once the day is done and the sun goes down, itBs time to look toward the sky. Roughly an hour after dark, thereBs a spectacular display of fireworks that can be seen for miles. For a full 20 minutes, everyone around will enjoy the lights as they fill the sky reminding us of the rocket's red glare that marked the beginning of this great nation.
Independence Day is an important part of our countryBs history. The 4th of July events in Gatlinburg are an exciting and unique way to celebrate this monumental time. Because this is such a spectacular attraction, accommodations get booked fast. Make your plans now for a holiday the entire family will remember.

Holidays In Spain Hit A Cold Front
How deep the fall in visitor numbers to Spain from other European countries has been revealed by figures showing the number of arrivals at Spain's airports earlier this year - and it hasn't set a good precedent for 2009 as a whole for the Spanish holidays industry.
And more recently another report which looks at how the Spanish holidays market is doing in the run up to the peak summer holiday months indicate as many as half of all holidays in Spain could be unsold, and that near 12 per cent drop in January could look quite good by the end of the year if people don't start booking their normal Tenerife or Menorca holidays for example pretty soon.
Spain will be hoping that people who have holidayed there before will remember just how good a holiday in Spain is, and decide whatever the economic uncertainties are at home that a trip to Spain will brighten them up - and brighten the Spanish holidays industry up at the same time!
Majorca for example has been a major summer holiday destination for several years. Many people don't realise the magnificent deals to be taken advantage of during the winter months as well though. Winter visitors can stay at the same beautiful, award winning hotels and resorts for a fraction of the price of the summer holidays season. Winter time is also the season when you can enjoy newly ripened citrus fruit from the local groves. Wintertime holiday packages can be booked for as little as 325 euros.
Many people prefer the slower paced winter holidays to the hustle and bustle of the busy summer holiday season, and Spain will be hoping that as the year goes by the European economies will pick up, and more out of season bookings will occur from those who didn't visit in the summer. Temperatures in the winter season on Majorca range from 6 degrees Celsius (42 degrees Fahrenheit) to 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit). These mild temperatures help make Majorca the perfect wintertime destination for those who enjoy cooler temperatures and mild winter weather. Helping Majorca is the fact that recently three of her hotels have received Excellence and Leisure Nominations and Awards.
Also recognised for some really good holiday accommodation has been Majorca's sister island of Menorca.
In a year when Menorca and other holiday destinations need good news to remind tourists why they should visit, three Menorca hotels have done well on the Spanish holiday island.
Menorca is well known in Europe as an ideal island for villa holidays - of the three Balearic Islands it's quieter than both Majorca and Ibiza, and is popular with families looking to spend quality time together, and part of Menorca's appeal are the family friendly restaurants and beaches.
So the fact that Menorca has been recognised for her hotels as well as traditional villa holidays is welcome at a time when the holidays market is battling the recession to keep the tourists flying in for a week or two's Menorca holidays.
The Hotel Apartments Princesa Playa in Cala en Bosc is named as one of the world's best family hotels - reinforcing the Menorca holidays image as one of being family friendly.
The other two Menorca hotels that get a mention in the European best hotels category are the Blanc Palace in Sa Caleta and the Royal Son Bou in Son Bou - both previously not particularly well known of all the hotels in Menorca.
And while hotels in Menorca continue to provide excellent service and standards of accommodation, the island has every chance of staying as a top holiday location.

Money Saving Tips For A Summer Family Holiday
If you're planning on taking your family for a holiday this summer you're probably interested in how you can do that and still save some money. There are all types of options for you, and one of the best ones is to stay closer to home. There are so many rich and beautiful areas that can be explored right in your own country that there's no need to go to an exotic location this summer. The fun of a holiday is mostly about being together, anyway, so why not have a 'staycation' in your own country? You can be gone longer, see more things, and buy more souvenirs because you didn't spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy hotel and a lot of airfare. Another thing you can do is go when the summer is just beginning or just ending, because places aren't as busy then and some of them will have better rates for things like hotel rooms. If it's not the peak of the tourist season you always have a chance to get something for less.
You don't have to spend a lot on a hotel room, though, no matter when you go. You can stay in a self-catering cottage instead, or you can even camp. Camping is becoming one of the best ways for families to take great holidays without needing to spend a lot of money. It can be just you and a tent and a campfire, or you can stay in a campground setting that offers running water, an electrical hook-up, and bathrooms, as well as a club house, a pool, and restaurants. There are tents that can be used at these campgrounds and there are also trailers you can rent if you want to have things like private bathrooms and showers. It's a great way to be with your family and explore nature without breaking the bank. It not only lets you take a longer holiday, but it lets you take a holiday more often and can show your children that a holiday doesn't have to be expensive to be enjoyable. That's an important thing to teach people, especially when the economy isn't as good as it could be.

Why Choose Corporate Apartment Rentals?
Many companies believe they are too small to even consider corporate apartment rentals. They struggle with justifying the increased costs versus simply paying for a hotel room for guests or relocating employees. If you only have a person needing to stay at a location for a few days several times a year then a hotel would seem like the better way to go. However, if you have any more frequent needs, then I'd suggest you consider corporate housing.
A cramped hotel room with several visitors isn't conducive to good business. Morale is just as important as talent for any department from training and executives down to front-line customer service representatives. How many million-dollar deals are planned out from the side of hotel bed?
Furniture and housecleaning are always provided as a hotel service, but both of these features can also be found in corporate apartments for a reasonable fee. The utility payments can often be negotiated as part of the monthly rent to reduce the amount of scheduling.
Additionally, apartments can have permanent phone lines numbers built into them. This can avoid changing numbers for each room in which a person stays. While cell phones are making this benefit less important, the added feature is still worth noting. This is especially true if a company wants to have a permanent fax line.
Lastly, the impression your company makes on an employee or guest is often times worth the little extra cost. Even the nicest hotel rooms become impractical given any time period longer than a week or two.
This is why many companies realize the cost of corporate rentals is not necessarily their most important concern. Before you decide either way, look at how often you have needs in any given location, and weigh the benefits of either option before making a decision. Just make sure your choice serves your business purposes the best.

For many people, going on holiday is about much more than just relaxing and enjoying your target destination once there. You should plan to visit a lot of places in the short duration of your holiday.
a lot of cottages don't have attached restaurants and pools, so if you're looking to be completely pampered a hotel might still be a better choice for you. Most people don't need that level of pampering, though, and they find that a cottage meets all of the needs that they have on their holiday adventure. It's a great way to reconnect with your traveling companions, too, since you'll be closer to them and sharing a roof for a few nights.
For those that associate luxury holidays with getting away from everything, Oman is the perfect destination.

Rio De Janeiro Boat Shows
The annual Rio de Janeiro Boat Show is Latin AmericaBs largest boat show that brings a fancy nautical air to the capital of Brazil with new models on show from boat builders near and far away. Besides the boat themselves, visitors also have the possibility to watch auxiliary equipment, engines, fishing equipment, chandlery and many more. Other attractions would be trade stalls and entertainments, very popular among visitors each and every year. The Rio Boat Show opens its doors on 14 May and lasts until 20 May at Marina da Gloria. The show is organized by GR Mar Eventos and it is considered to be a very charming boat show that each and every year shows the latest developments in boats.
Moving on, we briefly present the Rio Yacxo Shipyard which will debut at the boat show this year. It is the only boat that measures 33 feet and offers two enclosed cabins and double beds. Six people can comfortably sleep on the board mainly because the CVD shaped sofa can be transformed into a third bed for two people. The cockpit of the boat has plenty of space for 12 people and in the construction of the cockpit the manufacturers used glass fiber and PVC foam which resulted in a very resistant yet light boat.
United StateBs biggest attraction will be the Lazzara 74, forerunner of the boat that revolutionized the waters. With the LSX 92, launched just last Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, the Lazzara, almost a family business had already collected a sea of praise with the previous model, the LSX 75, seems to have come very close to the answer. So with other words, the Lazzara 74 will surely be a great hit. The Lazzara 74 is equipped with 4 Volvo IPS engines which are considered to be extremely efficient in terms of fuel consumption as well as silence and airworthiness issues.
Last but not least, at the 2009 Rio Boat Show, visitors can take a glance at the revitalized Delta 32. The Delta is the largest manufacturer of sailboats in the country and this year will re-launch one of its popular boats, the Delta 32. This boat now comes with a lot of interior innovations that provide extended comfort in comparison with the anterior model. The boat offers two cabins for 4 people and a large bathroom and other facilities for a relaxing stay.
All things considered, the 12th Rio Boat Show has plenty to offer: great boats, lovely scenery, incredible atmosphere and many more. If you plan your vacation during this period, make sure that you spend a few hours at the show; we assure that you wonBt regret it.

Lake Arenal Volcano In Costa Rica
My children are 6 and 8 years and I felt they were old enough to join me and my husband on one of my research trips, combined with a family holiday to Costa Rica. They loved it F and a great highlight for them was Arenal Volcano near Lake Arenal, the largest volcano in the world, erupting every day since July 1968. The local Costa Rican guild had the children in the front of the vehicle so he could explain all about the geology of the Arenal Volcano to them and answer all their millions of questions, what a coup for their next school project.
Hotel Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica
The second part of the trip was a great relaxing family holiday on the beach at Hotel Manuel Antonio. We stayed at the luxurious Arenas del Mar hotel, with monkeys playing in the trees at breakfast and Jesus Christ lizards and iguanas to see all day. Costa Rica is such a special place, perfect for a family holiday, with adventure and education for all.

Excellent Travel Deals In Today's Economy
Hear what experts say about what a great time this is to benefit from the many travel bargains out there.
If these resorts can cover their cost of having a guest stay in an otherwise empty room, the resort will profit from the money you spend at the bar, the restaurants, the spa and other activities. Last-minute travel deals are a win-win situation. The resort fills an empty room and makes money, and you the traveler get a great deal.
Peter B. Diaz, President and CEO of VoyageMonkey.com Online Travel says "Not only are we seeing deep discounted last-minute travel deals but longer term reservations booked well in advanced are seeing magnificent savings. The cruise industry is offering some of the best value vacation bargains we have seen in a long time. In recent years you have had many mega-cruise ships built. The law of supply and demand coupled with the recent economy has forced the cruise lines to compete heavily on price. It's very easy in today's market to cruise for under $100 per day per person."
Look at places like Maui Hawaii that rely heavily on tourism, occupancy rates have been low and their local economy has felt the pinch. Not only are the Maui resorts offering great deals, but the local businesses are competing for your dollars with benefits such as two for one drinks, early bird dinner specials and dining coupons. Starwood Resorts has regular specials on some of their Kaanapali Maui properties which include The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, The Sheraton Resort at Black Rock and the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas. These are all four star resorts of the beach offering luxury accommodations and plenty of amenities.
Cabo San Lucas Mexico is also seeing some deep discounted travel specials. Suffering from bad press about Mexico drug gang crimes and the swine flu, Cabo is desperately trying to fill vacancies. Remember that Cabo is very isolated from mainland Mexico and what goes on there. Peak season luxury beach resort hotel rooms are easily available from between $100 to $200 per night. There are regular daily flights to Cabo from many major US cities. There have also been some heavily discounted travel deals to Cancun Mexico & the Mayan Riviera as well as many other Mexican resort destinations. Bad media press about Mexico is often good news for the fearless traveler.
You may not see a better time to take a luxury vacation and go someplace special. If you can afford it, make the commitment and take time off to travel like a king. You may not see an opportunity like this in a long time. It's time to search your favorite travel website or call your travel agent.
