magazine – Balashiha http://balashiha.su Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:00:30 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.19 Travel Essentials: Four Items not to Forget http://balashiha.su/?p=9481 http://balashiha.su/?p=9481#respond Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:10:00 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=9481 Travel Essentials: Four Items not to Forget

Whether you’re a busy business traveller heading off to yet another meeting, or a backpacker about to embark on a gap-year adventure, there are some vital items that no traveller should leave behind. The following will help make your trip much more pleasant, so don’t forget to pack these essentials.

Ear Plugs

Travelling is an inherently tiring process often requiring early starts and late nights. Combine this with unfamiliar beds and noisy hotel guests, and you’re going to need all the help you can get to fall asleep. Enter the ear plugs; these simple pieces of wax or foam can be a saviour for tired travellers, allowing you to block out the auditory world, and sink into a much needed deep and refreshing sleep. Ear plugs come in a surprising variety of shapes and sizes and can also range considerably in price. Start off with a cheaper foam pair and see how they perform; a recent review of ear plugs by Slate Magazine found that out of 8 different pairs, the ear plugs that cost 50p per pair turned out to be the most effective and comfortable.

Eye Mask

It’s all very well cutting out the sounds, but what about light? Who hasn’t switched off the light in the hotel bedroom, only to find that the flickering street lights outside deny you of your sleep? A good eye mask will allow you to block out annoying light pollution by night, and should also enable you to get some shut-eye during daylight hours.

Power Adapter

In this world of the mobile phone, laptop computer, PDA, Nintendo DS, and MP3 player, there’s little reason to get bored whilst in transit. But one thing you will require to keep these devices alive is electricity; and remember, different countries have different plug sockets and different power outputs. To ensure you can plug into your destination’s national grid, get a worldwide adaptor that will allow you to tap the supply from your host country, anywhere in the world.

Travel Bag

It’s no good having all the essential items if you’ve got nowhere to put them, therefore make sure you’ve got a good, strong bag to put everything in. The type of bag will obviously vary depending on the type of traveller; backpackers favour, well… backpacks and business travellers tend to go for hard-shell wheelie cases. Both should also carry a travel make up bag for small loose items such as toothbrushes and toiletries.

If you remember to pack these four essential items, you’ll have gone a little way to making your trip smoother and more comfortable. Happy travels!

City-Traveling – Choose The Best Vacation For This Year http://balashiha.su/?p=2298 http://balashiha.su/?p=2298#respond Fri, 11 Nov 2011 21:27:35 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=2298 City-Traveling – Choose The Best Vacation For This Year

If you like to explore nice cities, then consider your vacation time and find some decent areas of your interest. City-Traveling is a perfect way, to let your dreams come true. The idea is, to get you out of the usual pre-made vacation trap and create your own world of relaxation.

Take any travel magazine from any country you like, and find an area of your liking. It can take some time, to find it. Then collect all the data about this environment, does it have enough variety and does it really give you, what you personally would like. If it is real satisfying, you book hotel and flight. The difference to the usual relaxation booking is here, that you are completely cause over, what you can now expect. Most of the time, what is wrong with all these pre-made vacation offers is, that you will only realize their existing variety, after you did arrive. And if you don’t like just laying at the pool, it may not be as good.

Do you like historical cities. or do you like more elegant. Do you prefer a city beach, including lots of other attractions, or are your real dreams in the mountains. You could make your list per country, city, sensations and action. After that, you can compare your cities and prices and figure out, what it will be this year.

But here is still another aspect for making the right decision.

Let’s say, there are some different types of vacations. Not every vacation has the same purpose, and you should always take the right one for each year. It all has to fit with your current situation in your life as well. Don’t choose the wrong environment with the wrong activities, for what you really need.

1. There is, let’s say the sick person, who needs some help and relaxation, together with some more peaceful environment around her. The best place is here a real relaxation facility, where everything is cared for during the day. Even medical treatment is somehow possible, if really necessary. Sitting in the garden playing games like monopoly or chess, are the only the fun activities.

2. This is a vacation, where you can bring your new born baby, and you may decide heading for a farm or country hotel. The big, open space is yours and there will not be big crowds of people, bothering you.

3. You feel, you need relaxation and you don’t want anything else as just laying on the beach and eat your ice cream. Then you should choose one of the pre-made Hotel-Beach vacations. But your interest level can change and you may ask for more variety. After some days it can become then pretty boring. Only if you want to be alone, “in the greens” or only with your family, a Country Beach or Hotel Beach would be the perfect place and very wonderful for you.

4. If you consider yourself being somehow in good shape and want to keep up playing with others, then only choose a place with some bigger variety of things to do. Let’s say, you should have a fantastic beach, but also several movie theaters, restaurants and shopping centers, together with golf, basket ball and other opportunities. You should be able to rent a boat or yacht, go surfing, parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving – the list would just go on. And if you find some other fellows, then you can celebrate some major barbeque. Disco dancing is another choice for being entertained and having fun.

5. is similar to 4. but goes still a bit higher in its quality, because this city is also featuring some attractions, cultural or historical. With gardens, parks, museums and wonderful family fun parks – and you should go for one or two days and visit one or more of these places, before you walk the next time back to the beach. This would kick you a little bit out of your day-by-day-beach routine and is giving you some fresh impulses and impressions. This can become a big adventure – plus more variety also brings more fun !

Coming then back home after your vacation time, you will be a different, but very relaxed person – with some new energy, views and spirit.

Top 5 Ways to Relieve Holiday Boredom http://balashiha.su/?p=9196 http://balashiha.su/?p=9196#respond Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:26:54 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=9196 Top 5 Ways to Relieve Holiday Boredom

Even if you’ve been looking forward to your relaxing two week luxury holiday for months, you may still find yourself bored when you get there.  It sounds amazing, but two weeks can feel like a long time if your holiday consists mainly of relaxing by the beach with very little else going on.  This is especially so if your normal life is fast paced and full of work.  A break sounds like a good idea, but you may find yourself restless with nothing to do.  Here are five ways to entertain yourself and your family while getting into that holiday groove.

  1. Learn a new beach sport.  If you’re spending your holiday on the shore, why not improve your skills at beach volleyball or go surfing for the first time?  Not only will it help you tone your newly exposed swimsuit body, it’s also fun to play in groups and can help facilitate bonds and friendly rivalry between you and the people you’ve taken on holiday with you.
  2. Seek out interesting experiences you can’t get elsewhere.  For example, if you’re travelling to Europe for the first time, you might choose to visit a medieval castle like you’d never find in your own country, or perhaps visit a museum tailored to the specific area you’re visiting with artifacts found on the spot.  Find national landmarks and quirky statues, and take pictures of yourself by them to document your journey.
  3. If it rains and you’re stuck inside, take the leisure time to read a book or a magazine that you might not be able to fit into your normal life.  If you’ve been longing to read War and Peace your entire life, but you normally struggle with the idea of making time for a 1400 page epic, bring it out on a rainy day.  You might be surprised with how much you get read on an interruption-free holiday.
  4. Head out for an extended dinner session at that exclusive restaurant you’ve always wanted to visit.  Enjoy a starter, a main, and extend the night out with coffee and dessert.  If you’re heading out on the town and can’t afford to eat everywhere, have drinks in several different places, staying just long enough to absorb the atmosphere before heading to the next must-see restaurant.
  5. Start to make a photo album before you even leave.  If you’ve taken a number of fantastic snapshots, why not spend an evening setting them out in scrapbook pages?  It can be a fun way to document your trip while it’s happening, while you’re still passionate about it and have the leisure time to place the most important parts of your trip in prominent places.  If you have a laptop, it’s fun to do this on the way to different places, for example if you have a second flight to another destination or on the way home.

These tips should help you to have the most fun on your holiday and truly enjoy your escape from your busy life.
