			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often we travel to destinations that have different climatic conditions than the place where we originally live in. A thorough research on the climate of the place we are planning to visit will help us in avoiding frustrations and we’ll also be able to use up maximum part of our tour without worrying about how to arrange suitable clothes, accessories etc.</p>
<p>Let us assume that you have planned to spend your next vacation in Ireland. We all know that Ireland is a country boasting the reputation of constant rains.<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6109" style="padding: 3px;" title="Weather travel planning" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/948b0_Weather-travel-planner-278x300.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="206" /> However, on performing a research on the climate of Ireland, you will know that east coast of the country experiences only around half of rainy days experienced by west coast. On the contrary, the West Indian island of Trinidad sees the rainy season extend from the month of June till December. So, if you want to avoid rains and look to travel in a clear weather, you must avoid visiting Trinidad between June and December.</p>
<p>Now, let us assume that you have selected the destination you will be traveling to during the next holidays. Depending on the climatic condition of the destination you must do your packing. For instance: if you are going to a place with wet climate, take items like umbrella, warmer clothing such as woolens and jackets. You can also take lightweight nylon raincoats.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6110" title="Umbrella" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/948b0_Umbrella-300x278.jpg" alt="" width="115" height="110" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6111" title="Woolens" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/19945_Woolens-300x255.jpg" alt="" width="129" height="110" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6112" title="Jackets" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/19945_Jackets-300x270.jpg" alt="" width="122" height="110" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6113" title="Nylon raincoats" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/19945_Nylon-raincoats-226x300.jpg" alt="" width="83" height="111" /></p>
<p>If you are going to a place with cold and snowy climate, your bags must contain items like woolen socks, scarf, gloves, hat, sweaters etc.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6117" title="Gloves" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/cb994_Gloves-300x222.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="100" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6119" title="Woolen socks" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/cb994_Woolen-socks-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6120" title="Scarf" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/9f717_Scarf-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="99" height="99" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6121" title="Sweaters" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/9f717_Sweaters-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></p>
<p>While going to places with warm, tropical weather, packing would be a little easier for you. You will not need to pack any heavy item; adding up items like suntan lotions (with high SPF), towels, sunglasses and hats would be enough.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6125" title="Suntan lotions" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/9f717_Suntan-lotions.jpg" alt="" width="91" height="91" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6126" title="Towels" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/2081f_Towels-300x279.jpg" alt="" width="97" height="90" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6127" title="Sunglasses" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/2081f_Sunglasses-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="138" height="90" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6118" title="Hat" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/2081f_Hat-300x243.jpg" alt="" width="113" height="90" /></p>
<p><img src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/fee1a_?ak_action=api_record_view&amp;id=6108&amp;type=feed" alt="" /><img src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/23792_hEHX3LYBLF8" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bingo! You got it right! Yes, I am going to share with you the right ideas to carry the right kind of food while on a journey. Exactly why is food such an important item in our list of priorities on travel? This is because it is what we eat that determines our health and it is the food that governs our lifestyle. Diet and nutrition are so much part of our life that we often forget to give it the importance that it requires. Very often we are found reaching out for that packet of fries and that filling of cream based buns in our snack time. This in normal routine does a lot of damage thus if it is a matter of a travel it causes more damage.</p>
<p>So let us exactly get to know the reasons why we should have a proper diet while on travel. It is true that travel means unwinding and it is often done to have a break and a vacation. Yet we could maintain a certain level of discipline in diet to ensure that the journey passes off without a skirmish. This would ensure that our health is good, and our journey is enjoyable.</p>
<h5>What should we take care of ?</h5>
<p>There are certain points to be considered when we are deciding on the food to be consumed while on a journey. For example a person with travel sickness should not consume milk or milk products before embarking on a journey. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6057" style="padding: 3px;" title="Lime juice" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/3901a_Lime-juice-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="161" />This kindles the gastric juice and results in regurgitation and thus the person might throw up eventually. Motion sickness is a matter of the brain and the body. The brain fails to receive the signals on time and thus reacts late leading to a feeling of giddiness. The lactic acid in the milk aggravates the puky feeling and the person vomits. So such people should always travel on an empty stomach or they could have a glass of water or lime juice. They could also keep a lime and smell it as it is said that the smell of lime retards the feeling of vomiting. Such people should also ensure that they get a window seat if they are in an open bus or they should ask the air-conditioning to be a little high if they are in a closed car. Consumption of water would help them to drain their tiredness away and the fatigue level is much less if the water consumption is increased.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6059" title="Milk products" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/3901a_Milk-product-300x217.jpg" alt="" width="242" height="174" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6058" title="Drinking water" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/01132_Drinking-water-300x196.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="175" /></p>
<h5>Diabetic People and Travel</h5>
<p>Again there are people who are diabetic and face the problem of sudden dip in the sugar level. Called hypoglycemia, this results in the person fainting and sweating profusely. Such people should always ensure that they have cubes of sugar and salt with them always. They should also carry a chocolate bar or a gum to give them the sugar level. Lack of sugar results in their fainting suddenly. So while on travel they should ensure that they do not have any kind of food that could result in increasing or decreasing their sugar level. Frequent biting into snacks becomes necessary for such people and they should ensure that they are carrying a cookie pack with them to keep them on safer side.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6060" title="Cubes of sugar" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/01132_Cubes-of-sugar--300x272.jpg" alt="" width="143" height="130" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6061" title="Chocolate bar" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/8b4c6_Chocolate-bar-261x300.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="130" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6062" title="Cookies pack" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/8b4c6_Cookies-pack-300x192.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="130" /></p>
<h5>High Blood Pressure and Travel</h5>
<p>Then we have the people who have high blood pressure. Such people are not supposed to have too much salt content. So it is better they carry bread sticks, or toasted bread or some cookies along. This would ensure that they do not eat too much salt. Even if they are taking a meal on the flight or in the train, or bus, they could always request for salt free food if available. If not, then it is better to avoid the salty food. Pickles, fried stuff could always be avoided. They could stick to salads, fruits etc. Fruit juices are also a good option.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6067" title="Salad" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a4a4b_Salad-300x262.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="210" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6068" title="Fruits" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a4a4b_Fruits-300x244.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="210" /></p>
<h5>Obesity and Travel</h5>
<p>Now we come to the people who are obese. Such people are supposed to be on a balanced diet always. Thus these people can make amendments on their diet and eat accordingly. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6086" style="padding: 3px;" title="Lime juice" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a4a4b_Lime-juice-2.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="146" />If they are having a burger, then the cheese or the mayonnaise could be avoided. If they are having a sandwich they could give the butter a pass. Fries could be replaced with roasted food. Desserts could be replaced with a fresh lime juice. Salad dressings could be avoided. You could also ask for oil free food wherever possible. Obesity is not a condition; it is a kind of ailment. So the people who are hit with this problem and are unable to take care of it, should make sure that they eat right and they eat well.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6070" title="Burger" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/09644_Burger-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="213" height="160" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6071" title="Roasted food" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/09644_Roasted-food-300x190.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="160" /></p>
<h5>Kids and Travel</h5>
<p>When we have kids, then we are inconstant need of food to satisfy their untimely hunger. So it is better that we carry sufficient food and drinks for the kids so that our travel is not hampered with an ill tempered child. Small tidbits like cookies, or buns, muffins, chocolates and sip drinks should be carried along and provided whenever the child seems to show signs of being hungry. Children are difficult with logic so they don’t understand the concept of queues and long waits. So it is ideal that we carry what they need so that they could be pacified. If it is a bottle fed baby, then keep the stuff for feeding the child ready and handy to avoid any kind of confusion. If there is a child who is allergic to some foodstuff like peanut then ensure you have a supplement food to give when the child is being left out in a group. Keep sufficiency candies and cookies for the child ready.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6075" title="Cookies" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/c22bf_Cookies-1-297x300.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="140" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6076" title="Muffins" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/c22bf_Muffins-1-300x233.jpg" alt="" width="182" height="140" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6077" title="Chocolates" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/4f090_Chocolates-300x251.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="141" /></p>
<p>In this way it is seen that food stuffs aren’t complicated and packing food for travel is not difficult. We only have to ensure that we have everything ready and handy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a rel="attachment wp-att-24524" href="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/?attachment_id=24524"><img class="size-full wp-image-24524" title="sleeping in car2" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/789d1_sleeping-in-car2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="202" /></a>There are ways to be more comfortable</p>
</div>
<p>On night on our recent trip to Montana, my teenaged daughter announced she wanted to sleep in our Toyota Camry<a href="http://www.toyota.com/camry/"> </a>rental car instead of on an Aerobed in the cabin with us. Perhaps she felt the need for some alone time. The next morning, when I peeked in the car window to the backseat where she was still sleeping, I thought  her neck looked a bit cramped and noticed that she had snuggled her face into her hoodie to keep out the early morning light. She did have a pillow and a blanket which were two pluses.</p>
<p>In retrospect, she looked much more comfortable than I was when, years ago, I slept in the back of a Peugot station wagon rental one night in <a href="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/tag/france/" target="_blank">France.</a> Tired and unsure where to stay, and wanting to save money, my traveling companion and I decided to pull off the road.  With only a thin sheet to keep me warm, and no padding to soften the cargo section of the car where I slept, the night wasn’t comfortable.<span id="more-1275"></span></p>
<p>These two scenerios, my daughter’s and mine, bring up the question. How does one sleep comfortably in a car? Is it possible? My mom, who just drove from <a href="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/new-york-city-by-land-sea-and-sky/" target="_blank">New York</a> to Montana and then to Ohio by herself swears by sleeping in the car for an hour or two naps. She was prepared to sleep in the car  before she pulled out of the driveway. Although sleeping in a car will never be the same as sleeping in a bed, here are tips to keep in mind for sleeping comfortably in a car.</p>
<div><a rel="attachment wp-att-24525" href="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/?attachment_id=24525"><img class="size-full wp-image-24525" title="fleecetravelpillow_cobaltblue2" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/789d1_fleecetravelpillow_cobaltblue2.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="246" /></a>This kind works for me</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Items you need for a more comfortable rest</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>A pillow</li>
<li> A blanket or sleeping bag</li>
<li>Padding. My mom used a matress pad on the back seat. It helps cover the seat belts and gives more of a bed feel.</li>
<li>A neck pillow, if you’re going to be sleeping sitting up. These look dorky, but they work to keep your head from flopping.</li>
<li>Comfortable clothes. (Changing into a pair of loose pants and a T-shirt instead of wearing the ones you’ve been sleeping in can signal its time for sleep.)</li>
<li>If you’re going to sleep sitting up, a pair of socks to keep your feet warm.</li>
<li>A book to read to help transtion from driving to sleeping.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Things to do to help you sleep:</strong></p>
<p>1. Brush your teeth and wash your face. These help to signal your body it’s time to sleep.</p>
<p><strong>Things to keep in mind</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>It’s not okay to just sleep anywhere.  Store parking lots can work. Ironically, a hotel parking lot could work.</li>
<li> Park far enough away from other parked cars so you won’t be bothered. Rest stops are fine. Park towards the end of them.</li>
<li>Consider where the sun will be when you park the car. The sun’s angle can affect your sleep</li>
<li>If you’re going to sleep sitting up, switch to the passenger side where the seat reclines back.</li>
</ul>
<p>My mom’s own idea for safety. Bring a life-sized, real looking from a distance, stuffed animal dog with you. Seat belt the dog into an upright position. People might think you’re traveling with a dog. She had fashioned a person from a beauty school manequin head for the trip to Montana. She put sunglasses, a hat and a bandana on the head to up its “real” person factor, but the head kept rolling off the body that she had made out of pillows. The head idea was abandoned for the dog she found in a Missoula, Montana<a href="http://www.uptake.com/montana/with/what-Missoula.html"> </a>thrift shop.</p>
<p>My mom did stay in hotels at night. She swears by Comfort Inns. Her adventure was fabulous, by the way and the dog is still in her car.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is very hard to plan your budget when you are on a vacation. The most annoying thing about a budget vacation is restricting yourself to the minimum. Nobody likes it, but unless your funds are unlimited, you cannot plan out a perfect holiday.</p>
<p>An informal survey on the Honeymoon and Romantic Getaways forum, says that “most of the couples plan to spend between $2,000-5,000 on their trip. That’s certainly enough to enjoy a great couple of days or longer, away from home”.</p>
<h5>There are many ways to save and still enjoy a great holiday</h5>
<p>The most easy way to enjoy your holiday is by cutting the costs which is involved in transportation. If the place that you are planning to visit is nearby, it’s much better to drive up to the place rather than fly. Flying is more formal whereas driving with your loved one/family/friends is more enjoyable and is a great way to kickstart your trip.<span id="more-1129"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/e60c1_best-budget-holidays.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2439" title="Budget travel planning" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/e60c1_best-budget-holidays.jpg" alt="Budget travel planning" width="371" height="371" /></a></p>
<p>If you destination is far, and you need to fly, then it is recommended that you keep your departure and the return dates flexible. You can find some of the best deals online. Try to book your tickets through those websites which offer you cheaper tickets.</p>
<p>Another major factor which determines the cost is the time of the year that you plan to travel. The tropical islands and the ski resorts can be damn expensive during the winters. Europe is absolutely packed during spring and summer and New England is jammed during the Fall. The best time to visit any place is during off season. You can find some of the deal air deals and hotel/ resort deals.</p>
<h5>Some more factors to keep in mind before you plan your budget travel</h5>
<p>You can save up on a lot of expenditure if you plan to take a cruise or go in for an all inclusive resort. One can know about the costs involved in everything, before they set out for their journey. If you are planning your first trip from home, be careful, you will be facing, a) more money and will be anxious to spend it on the best buys, b) you would be ‘obliged’ to think that you have more money than you actually do, and c) you will understand that the maximum <a><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2440" style="padding: 3px;" title="Budget Travel Guide" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/e60c1_bus-tours-300x173.jpg" alt="Budget Travel Guide" width="300" height="173" /></a>amount goes into the meals and paying the hotel bills. These points are a must and should not be forgotten!</p>
<h5>Where to save?</h5>
<p>There are several things that you can save your money on -</p>
<p>airport food and drinks, in- room phone calls, breakfast in bed, cheap souvenirs, horse-drawn carriage rides, commercial photos, formal clothing and packaged bus tours. These are absoutely a no-no, as far as saving your penny is concerned for your budget travel.</p>
<h5>Where to spend then?<a><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2441" style="padding: 3px;" title="Best Budget Holidays" src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/e60c1_restaurant-300x224.jpg" alt="Best Budget Holidays" width="256" height="191" /></a></h5>
<p>Spend your money on a good hotel, dinner at a great restaurant, a fine wine to go alongwith your meal, a digital camera to capture your memorable moments forever and last but not the least, a good pair of walking shoes.</p>
<p>These are some of the most important tips that one must keep in mind while planning for a budget holiday. You can definitely save up on alot if you follow some of these rules!<img src="http://scenicpaintingtours.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/e5473_ze6GR0uKx4M" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve all been there: Ash cloud, strike, or just ‘flight delayed’, there are a number of reasons we find ourselves with too much time to spare in an airport.</p>
<p>But what to do? If it’s only a setback of 45mins then there’s little to worry about, but when it’s several hours you need a little imagination to see you through.</p>
<p>Here’s five things to do, to make the wait for boarding less boring.<span id="more-1012"></span></p>
<p><strong>Shop</strong> – Yes, nowadays it seems that transit through an airport is more like a trip to the shops! Not one to complain, though. I always feel I’m getting a bargain when I buy in airports, but are they really cheaper?</p>
<p><strong>Sleep </strong>- Probably the number one pastime of the long-distance traveller. If you need to dissolve time, there’s no better way than to sleep through it. But on those chairs? And who decided to make rows of seating with fixed arm rests, it’s cruel.</p>
<p><strong>Surf </strong>- You could get your board out and practice a few moves, quicken your reaction times. More likely you will get online. Most new mobile phones have half-decent web browsers, and if you have a netbook or laptop, better still. Connection may not be free, but with ten hours to fill it could be worth paying for.</p>
<p><strong>Sort out</strong> – A favourite of mine. Rummage through your rucksack or travel bag and give it a re-pack; get rid of the banana peel you respectfully put into your top pouch rather than chuck away, and shake out the inside – after a week’s camping your gear needs some tlc.</p>
<p><strong>Spruce up</strong> – Yes, there’s nothing better than a good wash, and after days of face wipes and camping stoves, it’s time for a proper scrub. Even if your holiday didn’t feature extreme sports and the furthest you got was the beach, a good wash will leave you refreshed.</p>
<p>Ok, now you’re ready to do it all again. A few cycles of our ‘five ways to kill time in an airport’ and you will be settling in, ready for the in-flight entertainment.</p>
<p>If you have any other suggestions, no matter how far off the board they may be, drop them below.</p>
