1 DIPHTHERIA.

2 TETANUS.

3 MEASLES.

4 MUMPS.

5 RUBELLA.

6 POLIO.

7 HEPATITIS B.

The consequences of these diseases can be life threatening, and outbreaks do occur in the Middle East area.

So you have decided to visit Egypt this year. And because you do not want you or your family to fall ill on holiday. You have decided to get your vaccinations. But you do not know where to start. You want to know
WHY, WHERE, WHEN , HOW, and HOW MUCH will it all cost.

WHY. Because if you do not have a vaccination, you or one of your family could fall ill or even die.

WHERE. There are two different places you can get your jabs. One is a private medical centre that specialise in travel vaccinations. these specialist centres are very expensive. and unless you need your vaccination urgently or immediately,they should be avoided. because there are less expensive alternatives. Here is a price list of some of the vaccinations. from my nearest local private travel clinic.

Cholera (Dukoral, price for full course) ?59
Combined Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio ?31.50
Combined Hepatitis A + B ?65
Combined Hepatitis A + Typhoid ?84
Hepatitis A ?48.50
Hepatitis B ?40
Japanese Encephalitis ?47
Combined Junior Hepatitis A + B ?47
Junior Hepatitis B ?25.75
Meningitis ACWY ?55
Polio (inactivated) ?25
Rabies IM Route ?47
Tick Encephalitis ?63
Tick Encephalitis (Junior) ?63
Typhoid ?27.50
Yellow Fever ?53.50

Or you can book an appointment with your local G.P. Often he will delegate this task to a nurse.

Inform the doctor about the country that you wish to visit. The doctor then looks up what jabs you need, and then writes you out a prescription for the vaccinations you need.
Sometimes you will have to pick the medicine up yourself from the chemist, but some doctors will order them for you,and have them ready for you, when you arrive at the surgery. Then you just roll up your sleeve. Needle in. Hey presto, your done.
Afterwards my nurse gave me a small pocket booklet (which they recommend you keep with your passport) , which records what jabs you have had, the date you received them,and when you need your next jab or booster.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST, This all depends on your doctor. A friend of mine had all his travel jabs done for free.

I just had to pay the prescription charges. One charge for each vaccination, Although some vaccinations are combined.

WHEN. Give yourself plenty of time,four to six weeks at least,before your departure date. Do not leave it to the last minute to phone your doctor for an appointment. As your holiday jabs will be classed as none urgent.

Another fact to remember is that some smaller chemists may not stock every vaccination. And you will need to wait for all the prescriptions to arrive.

Once your chemist receives all of your vaccination shots. Collect them from the chemist. And dont forget to ask if they need to be stored in a fridge until your appointment.Then book your appointment.

Holland certainly has a reputation with travelers. Known for having a very liberal attitude on social issues such as prostitution and drugs, the reputation is not always deserved. Yes, marijuana and prostitution is legal, but there is so much more to the country. Many look at Amsterdam as Holland, but visitors know there is much more. If you desire to travel to Holland, also known as the Netherlands, don’t miss these attractions.

Amsterdam

Simply put, Amsterdam has something for everyone. The city is an incredibly beautiful collection of old world European architecture elegantly partitioned by canals. In truth, the city is built on roughly 90 small islands, although you can hardly tell. Transportation is best undertaken on foot or by bicycle. With a cool climate, you’ll barely break a sweat.

Contrary to popular opinion, Amsterdam is not just a city of liberal policies. Yes, coffee bars sell things other then just coffee. Yes, there are women in windows that are awfully friendly. Still, there is so much more to experience in the city.

Van Gogh Museum

The Rijksmuseum Vincent van Gogh houses the world’s largest collection of the work of Vincent van Gogh. From his early work, the museum contains 700 artistic works and 850 letters. After moving to Paris in 1886, van Gogh entered an impressionist period, of which the museum contains a large collection. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the collection is the organization. The entire collection is arranged chronologically from the first to last work. As you walk, you can clearly see the evolution of this master’s skill.

Anne Frank House

Who hasn’t read the intense diary of Anne Frank? Hiding from the Nazis, she and her family lived in an annexed section of an apartment in Amsterdam for two years. In 1957, the house was donated to the Anne Frank Foundation and turned into a museum. A visit will send chills through your spine. The museum contains films, the annexed area and the original notes of Anne Frank. A must see for anyone traveling to Amsterdam.

Beyond Amsterdam

For those needing a break from Amsterdam, there is much to be seen in Holland. If you are looking for a color explosion, consider taking the bulb cycling tour out of Noordwijk. Windmills your thing? Head to the De Zaan district to see them in action. Prefer to spend a night in a castle? Try the Castle Hotel Engelenburg, which even lets you ruin a good walk by playing golf.

Travel to Holland and you won’t regret it. Whether you want to “investigate” the countries liberal policies or simply bike through fields of tulips, Holland will satisfy.

If you plan to visit Walt Disney World you can save money if you get discount Disney tickets. Theme parks like Disney always look for ways to offer discounted tickets to attract more customers and people looking to vacation at Disney World want ways to stretch their vacation dollars. When you get discounted Disney tickets it’s a win-win situation. Disney gets more customers and you save money. I’ll tell you how to get discount Disney tickets and save money in this article.

Start by asking family and friends that have gone to Disney World if they know of any special offers for discount tickets. There’s a lot of marketing of discounted Disney tickets in and around Orlando. Your friends or family may have brought back information packets with information about ticket prices. These packets often contain special incentive offers to purchase tickets. Travel agents can be another good source for discounted Disney tickets. They’ve already done the math. They’re familiar with many of the special programs and incentives. The only downside to travel agents is their commission. They book a lot of travelers so their commission might not be as bad as it sounds. Everybody has to eat, right?

Some employer benefits packages offer discounted Disney World tickets to their employees. Ask your human resources personnel if your company has a program like this. Your family and friends may be able to do the same with their company. If so, allow them to purchase the tickets for you.

Call Disney World and ask about any special offers on ticket prices. Ask a lot of questions. Try calling several times to see if you can find a better offer. If you accept an offer, continue to call and ask about discounts. You may find a better offer than the one you accepted. If so, ask if you can cancel the offer you accepted and then re-book the better offer. You can contact Disney World by calling 1 (407) 939-7675. If you belong to certain groups or organizations, you may be able to get discounted Disney World tickets through your group. Disney World may offer special ticket prices to seniors, US military personnel, law enforcement and others.

It is also understandable why the green lobby and the tourism industry has brought into question the justification for volunteering abroad and why volunteers sometimes feel like they are caught in a conundrum.

Global warming is one of the most serious threats facing the world and some of the leading campaign groups have stated that the most ethical thing we can do for the environment is to stay at home. Whilst we can all agree that the best form of travel is to avoid flying, we should not stop flying altogether. That would send us back to the dark ages with massive unemployment (1 in 10 people work in the tourism sector), business recession, and increased poverty (deepening recession, increased unemployment and worsening poverty is not conducive to creating new lower carbon technologies and lifestyles).

There are many people who rely on tourism for their livelihoods and many natural habitats depend on visitors for their survival. If you want evidence of this you should look no further than Latin America. Tourism is a big contributor to the economy of many Latin American countries and the industry generated nearly US$2 billion in Costa Rica alone in 2007 (three-fifths of GNP). Tourism helps support some of Latin America’s most fragile natural habitats and if we stopped flying there many national parks and private reserves will lose their incomes, deforestation will increase and global warming will accelerate. Unless we support the people and communities now making money through ecotourism they have no other choice but to exploit natural resources.

Similarly, it is worth noting the importance of international volunteers to conservation efforts in the region. Without the commitment and financial support of international volunteers, many organizations would be unable to carry out their vital work. This is because there is generally very little governmental or outside support for these organisations and the projects which they manage. Your contribution as a volunteer could help ensure the long-term survival of a tropical forest or an endangered species. This is because you are actively participating in the conservation of that habitat or species. The participation of international volunteers also enables money to reach grassroots level of society and this can change a small communities perception of their environment or an endangered species.

The question of whether it is possible to be an ethical volunteer seems to largely rest on the ability to make informed choices before and during your trip. If you choose the right project, minimise the impact of your travel, maximise the benefits for local economies, and stay for a considerable period of time, then you can most definitely volunteer abroad with a clean conscience.

It is worth mentioning the importance of choosing the right project before setting off and the key message is ? do your research if you want to so some really valuable work. Prospective volunteers must examine the work they will be doing and how it affects local people and the natural environment. Although there are some good placement companies out there, a do-it-yourself placement is the most ethical form of volunteering as you work directly with the host organization. You also have the assurance that all your money goes to the cause rather than paying for the marketing and administration expenses of a volunteer placement (sending) agency. If you opt to work through an agency please be aware that some of these agencies offer little more than glorified holidays and others are more interested in making money than helping the environment or providing sustainable and well-targeted help for local communities. No one benefits from these placements apart from the companies that organise them. An ethical volunteer ensures that as much of their money as possible reaches the grassroots level of society. Eco-conscious travellers should consider contributing to a project that helps reduce the impact of climate change and/or provides a hands-on approach to offsetting their own carbon emissions.

It is also worth mentioning the length of time volunteers spend overseas. You are clearly going to do more harm than good if you travel all the way to Costa Rica from the UK (a carbon-heavy 8,700km flight) to rescue sea turtles and stay for only a few weeks. To maximise the benefits for local communities and negate the environmental impact of your flight you need to contribute to a project for a much longer period of time. A long stay is more sustainable if travelling long distances as this will enable you to minimise the impact of your flight. The time spent as a volunteer is time not spent contributing to carbon emissions in your home country (i.e. non use of home appliances, zero emissions form you car, etc). A long stay also eliminates the need to take several shorter holidays throughout the year.

In reality, the dramatic growth in short breaks and cheap flights is a more pressing issue than questioning the justification for volunteering abroad, particularly if volunteers wish to devote their time and energy to do something positive for the environment. Those who want to stop us flying should focus more on the business and the leisure side of flying rather people wanting to make a difference (e.g. those that fly with a purpose). The destruction of the Amazon and other tropical forests around the world should also be a priority for campaign groups (e.g. air travel accounts for less than 5% of carbon dioxide emissions, clearing tropical forests for agriculture is estimated to produce 18% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions ? more than the entire global transport system).

Biking to work is a great way to save money. For a start, you don’t have to fill up a thirsty tank with liquid gold – not as much, anyway. All that extra energy used will see the weight fall off and fitness take over. That means you are saving both fuel costs and gym fees. You’ll be so fit and healthy you won’t know yourself. And you’ll be able to treat yourself to that wicked dessert without feeling guilty or gaining much weight at all. And just think of all the fuel that is used with the car stationary, but the engine idling away at those traffic lights. That’s waste, if ever there was any. But you cannot switch off, because switching back on would use up even more fuel and also battery power.
Cycling to work costs nothing but a bit of effort and organization. You may have to leave earlier, but it could surprise you just how little difference in time it takes due to the traffic snarls that you have to wait out in your car. With a bicycle, you can keep on riding, or take a short cut across the park.
