Want to experience heavenly beauty under water? En route to snorkeling in the Caribbean and you will discover how exciting the water world is. The beauty of aquatic life is explored using a tool called snorkel, having a mask attached to it. Snorkeling thus offers you an amazing opportunity to explore underwater life. However, there are a few essential things that one must exercise during the activity.

Snorkeling gives you an opportunity to relax. So make sure you make most of it without indulging yourself in too much analysis. Check out some of the tips to make your snorkeling even more enjoyable. These tips have been suggested considering that you already have well-fitting equipment.

  1. Ensure that the mask fits your face perfectly but allows you breathing through the nose. Make sure that no air leaks in, as this will also allow water to seep in. Also, it’s best to shave off your moustache or apply generous amount of Vaseline or sunscreen to act as a gasket. Do not tighten the strap too much as this might also cause the water to leak in after breaking the seal. The snorkel should be placed in front of the ear.
  2. Fins should be chosen with discretion. It is better to opt for snug ones than those that are too tight. Big fins will slip in easily when the feet are wet.
  3. You must have some defogging products for a clear view under water. Gel products, dog drool, plant extracts growing by the shore, or even a baby shampoo (with salt water) work well to get rid off the fog.
  4. Breathing practice through the snorkel with your head out of water is highly vital prior to experiencing the real sport. Suck the mask into your face and breathe through the mouthpiece throughout the length of the mouth. It’s also advisable to practice calm floating in face down and horizontal position.
  5. In case you flood your mask by accident, raise your head by pulling the lower edge away from the mouth to drain out the water.
  6. Use your fins judiciously, keeping your knees and ankles relaxed. Avoid using bicycle type kicks and treat your fin as though they were the soft flowing tail of a mermaid!
  7. Last, but the most vital of all,be relaxed during the entire activity. If you panic, your movements might create an alarm in the aquatic environment. On the contrary, while you stay calm, the aquatic animals too remain calm and resume their normal activity.

Some of the best locations for snorkeling are found in the various beaches of the Caribbean. Out of them, Roatan surpasses all others in terms of beauty and space. There has been a gradual rise in the number of people booking for Roatan tours. A trip to this beautiful island will also allow you to experience the fun the thrill of Roatan snorkeling. So get into the groove to be a part of the amazing sport- just keep a good ear to the afore-mentioned advice.

Ski Holidays – When’s Good to Go http://balashiha.su/?p=7764 http://balashiha.su/?p=7764#respond Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:06:51 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=7764 Ski Holidays – When’s Good to Go?

The ski season lasts about five months and relies on one thing: snow. But depending on which month from December to April that you decide to take your ski holiday, your experience can vary quite significantly.

Early season ski holidays
‘Early season’ is generally classified as early December until about Christmas time (although the season can begin earlier in selected high-altitude resorts). It’s not easy to know how good the snow will be at this point, but December ski holidays can be superb if you’re lucky enough to get a dump of snow. Prices are lower and the slopes are quieter – so you could be in for a treat if the right weather hits.

Christmas and New Year ski holidays
There’s no place like the mountains for feeling the Christmas spirit. As such, prices do go up for this time of year, but the magic of a white Christmas speaks for itself. And with plenty of events put on by ski resorts such as fireworks and torch-lit processions down the mountain, it’s a great time to visit for a family ski holidays in particular.

January ski holidays
As the years go by, snowfall patterns become increasingly hard to predict, however this is historically a month rich in snowfall. This means it’s perhaps less appealing to fair weather skiers and those shying away from the lower temperatures. However, prices go down in January as a result so it can be a great time to catch some powder. You might decide it’s a good time to get ski-in ski-out accommodation to avoid trudging about too much. Alternatively, treat yourself to a ski holiday with a high-end operator such as Abercrombe & Kent, Kuoni, Oxford Ski Company or Scott Dunn who run a driver service in Courchevel 1850, St Anton and Val d’Is?re to transport you and your skis to and from the slopes each day.

February ski holidays
By now, there is likely to be a good snow-base wherever you are. However, the slopes are generally quite busy at this time, especially in France where half term is spread across the whole month!

Spring ski holidays
From mid-March until the end of April, things get a little warmer – wonderful for many reasons. The snow is a touch softer in the mornings. Longer days means you can take long lunches in sunglasses whilst sipping a beer and getting a tan, and continue skiing until 5pm. Children are happy in the more gentle temperatures. Apr?s-ski fun and games can often be found outdoors as the sun goes down. You could even opt for a chalet with an outdoor hot-tub, to prolong the joys of being outside later in the evenings. It’s a great time for a ski holiday.

Summer ski holidays
It’s not the first thing that springs to mind for your summer holiday, but in Alpine ski resorts with a glacier (such as Tignes or Zermatt) you can enjoy early morning skiing on a few high slopes, and find yourself in a bikini after lunch, or on a mountain-bike somewhere amongst the pine trees. Alternatively, head to the mountains in Chile or New Zealand. Summer ski holidays can actually be fabulously varied if you head to the right destination.

How to Prevent Your Suits and Dresses From Wrinkling While Traveling http://balashiha.su/?p=5030 http://balashiha.su/?p=5030#respond Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:14:09 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=5030 How to Prevent Your Suits and Dresses From Wrinkling While Traveling

Whether you are traveling for leisure or for business, you will need a reliable luggage bag that will protect your clothes, and hopefully, also prevent them from wrinkling. Your luggage bag’s main function is to transport your belongings from one destination to another. Obviously, there are some challenges involved. Luggage do get knocked around quite a bit during travel, and in the process, poor quality luggage may get damaged.
Fortunately, modern day luggage bags, known as hard-side luggage, are made from very tough resins. The hard outer covering is stain and chemical resistant, and do not crack even when handled in a rough manner. The insides of hard-side luggage is padded with soft materials. So whatever is happening on the outside of the luggage bag doesn’t really affect what is inside the bag. Here are some suggestions on how you can prevent your suits and dresses from wrinkling when you pack them all in the luggage bags.
Organize your clothing.
First, organize your clothing and group them according to various categories. You can group them as different types of clothing – pants, suits, T-shirts, etc. This will make your packing easier later on.
Fold them properly.
Fold your clothes in a way that allows the clothes to stack nicely on top of one another. You may want to fold them in a similar fashion so that the size of each piece of clothing is about the same as all the others. When you put them in a stack, the stack of clothes should look uniform, with all the clothes having the same size in the same stack.
The order of packing.
Once you have organized your clothes into stacks, you can start packing. Start from the biggest stack of clothes first. There are two reasons you want to do this. First, the bigger stacks can act as your base, and it makes the packing easier. Secondly, when you have the biggest stacks below and the smaller stacks on top, you find that you save space. Without much space, clothes have little chance of shuffling around even when the luggage bags are being thrown around (which is not uncommon in airports). This will help prevent clothes from wrinkling.
Packing wrinkle free clothes.
Finally, remember that even if you have superb packing skills, it’s always going to be a challenge to keep all your clothes completely wrinkle free. In the fashion world today, there are tons of wrinkle free garments available for sale. Such clothing look fashionable, and they are very comfortable to wear. They don’t wrinkle easily, and slight wrinkles can be easily smoothed out just by hanging the clothes up without any ironing.
Hard-side luggage comes in a variety of colors, and various trendy designs. For sure, you would be able to find something that will not only help protect your belongings, but make you look great! They are ideal for International traveling, as the luggage bags will be exposed to the handling of different airports personnel. Only tough luggage bags can withstand such vigorous testing.
