| Traveling without a car? | | 2008-05-08 00:03:00 | | Traveling is a great way out, from the pressure of work and hustle and bustle from the big cities we live in. I love traveling, and I have been to a lot of countries, and still I am looking forward to visiting more countries which I have not visited before. Whenever I travel, there are certain issues which are always the same whenever the place is- food and transport! I think, a smart way to plan your travel is to check out sites Advantage car rental especially when you are traveling with your family and children. Public transportation can be a hassle sometimes when we seek for convenience in our traveling. The best way is to rent a car and get the great special offers especially on the SUVs. If you looking for a budget car instead, then, you might want to check out the $19.99 per day deal. There's a wide selection to choose from- make your holidays a memorable one and a pleasant one. | | By: Vision, Adventures, Dreams and Life | | |

| Traveling With Anxiety- Trip #3 | | 2008-03-14 13:46:00 | | photo by RoadsidepicturesThis weekend I am going on a trip to Las Vegas with my husband and some friends. What a fun thing to do right? However I have had some minor anticipatory anxiety worrying about it this week since the last two trips I went on was either an anxiety nightmare, or at least had some smaller setbacks.Following my true natural instincts I procrastinated all preparation for the trip until the afternoon before we leave. This is because then I wouldn't have to think about it and worry more than I need to. Not very smart after all because now I am a little overwhelmed with everything I have to do and that is stressing me out.So I thought I would take my lunch hour and go over some previous posts I have written to help me be more prepared. Hawaii I didn't prepare at all because its the land of relaxation so why would I have any anxiety there? That was an extremely painful lesson to learn.

| Travel and Entertainment Costs Traveling High | | 2008-02-22 09:29:47 | | A close cousin to credit card costs is travel and entertainment expenses. You could be tight on your costs at home or in the field offices. But once people are on the road, it is loosen the wallet.
It can feel like a vacation to your people. They spend on things they would not normally. Or they may treat it as a cost of doing business. They are sacrificing by being out of town. So why not splurge a little as a reward? You may agree. You may want to treat people well on the road so they make the trips that they should. But it could go overboard.
There may be good intentions to travel inexpensively. But it may not be done well. You could think you are being tight but could be spending more than you need to without realizing it.
Your people may also be traveling when it is not needed. Technology is changing the landscape and may allow you to have face to face interactions without hitting the road.

| The Traveling Cat - Keeping A Cat | | 2008-02-11 23:32:00 | | Moving HouseMoving house does not normally trouble the family cat. It retains its well-loved human companions and usually many items of furniture that it knows well. After arriving at the new dwelling, the cat quickly sets about establishing its territory and leaves its calling cards with the feline patriarchs of the area. Occasionally, loving for some old flame left behind, or preferring the surroundings in which it grew up, a cat may decide to trek back to its old haunts. The longest recorded journey is nine hundred and fifty miles from Boston to Chicago! Cats cannot find people if they up and move leaving the animal behind, but they do have the ability to locate places. It seems that, during the months or years that a cat lives in its old home, its brains automatically register the position of the house in terms of angels of the sun at certain times of day. Cats, like man and many other animals, are fitted with internal biological “clocksâ€. If the cat is uprooted to a new home w | | By: Kitty Cat Meow | | |

| Stay healthy when traveling | | 2007-09-30 08:20:00 | | While China covers a vast geographic area, with various mountains and rivers, these grand landscapes are not suitable for all people. High altitudes, cold sea water and pollen can prevent certain groups of people to visiting these areas. People with acute otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear), coronary heart disease, angina and seriously high or low blood pressure as well as pregnant women are advised to stay away from high mountains, because high altitude sickness could pose a serious physical challenge to these people. Those with rheumatism, diabetes, chest pains and overactive thyroid glands are strongly advised to stay away from seaside. In autumn, the seaside temperature is lower than land temperature on average. This an the combination of high humidity and abundant sodium ions in the air will aggravate the health of these people and lead to contraction of the alleged "seaside exposure syndrome".

| Traveling with Children in Southeast Asia | | 2007-09-28 04:33:00 | | One of the most striking aspects of a trip to Southeast Asia is the welcoming attitude to children. The smiles and indulgent reception given to pint-sized visitors is wonderful, and travelers to the region can expect to be treated better with kids, than without!The sincere respect for the family unit inherent in many Asian cultures means that children in Asia are adored - to the extent that adults will often give up seats on public transport for youngsters - and families traveling in the region can expect a universally warm welcome. Friendly locals will shower attention on your children at any opportunity, friendly local kids make ready playmates and temporary nannies are on hand at virtually every corner.Another plus is that opportunities for low-cost meals and lodging in Asia abound, and with relatively cheap jet travel, affordable family accommodations and favorable currency exchange rates, the term ‘family values’ has real meaning in Southeast Asia. Worried about young eaters? For those with a fussier palate, international kid-friendly cuisine is also readily available and most restaurants welcome children so eating out isn’t a chore. Indeed, with shared dishes, patient and attentive staff and hands-on regional grub, dining in Asia can often be great fun for families.Exotissimo Travel offers a great selection of exciting adventures featuring a wide variety of activities for the whole family. From elephant riding and mahout training to jungle trekking and canoeing and rappelling adventures, regardless of where you want to go, we’ll find you comfortable, child-friendly accommodation, and plan your trip to ensure that each member of your family has the time of their lives!.Have a look at Family Jungle Escape in Kanchanaburi for your family trip to Thailand. | | By: Travel to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Tha | | |

| Do's and Don'ts of Traveling with Anxiety: Part 3 | | 2007-09-08 21:16:00 | | For me this is the best thing I did for myself on my business trip to California. If renting a car, DO rent a GPS unit to help you navigate.I have a lot of anxiety with driving. It took me 3 tries to get my license and it was only due to my parent's pushing me. I was 18 when I finally got it. I had no desire to drive. Sitting in the driver seat nearly gave me panic attacks. I eventually got used to it, but had a hard time on the freeways. So I would drive if I had to but I would avoid freeways as much as I could.Now I have to drive an hour to work everyday on the freeway. I don't like driving with people in the car with me, and I don't like driving when I don't know how to get there. So anytime I have to drive with others, I actually ask someone else to drive my car so I don't have to deal with the anxiety.So for me to go to a busy city like San Jose and San Fransisco all by myself and drive everywhere, this caused a lot of panic for me. It was probably what I was the most worried about. When renting the car I added a GPS unit for an addition $8 a day. Doesn't matter how much it would have cost, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Not only did it take away 98% of my anxiety, it gave me a sense of empowerment and confidence. I would be hungry and type in the kind of food I was in the mood for and it would tell me exactly how to get to the closest location. The best part is if you miss a turn, no need to panic! It will recalculate your destination and help you get to where you need to go. I was able to travel to my hotel, 4 different schools, several fast food places, etc. with complete ease even though I had never been there before.By far the most exhilarating day on my trip was when I had some time to go to San Fransisco to do some sight seeing. Never before would I have dared to drive an hour away to some unknown place all by myself but with my handy Garmin GPS unit, I located the Golden Gate Bridge and set off on my adventure. I drove around downtown San Fransisco on the unbelievable hilly roads with the beautiful scenery. I drove over the Golden Gate bridge twice, ate clam chowder while photographing the bridge, had a wild coyote follow me around, walked along Pier 39 and saw Alcatraz, ship yards, and so many other great things that I will forever remember as a liberating experience. I never would had that experience without the GPS unit. It was so windy and cold that it made taking pictures difficult. Plus there was a fire burning in northern California so the sky was covered in smoke, but it was still very cool.Now back at home I want to buy one for my personal car to help me get around town better. Maybe I will be more daring to drive around Salt Lake and see some of the great things my home town has to offer.P.S. For those interested in photography, I still need to edit these photos a bit but I wanted to get the post out.This post is part of a series.

| Do's and Don'ts when Traveling with Anxiety: Part 2 | | 2007-09-07 07:40:00 | | DO know a bit about the culture you are going to.I will never forget when my 6th grade Spanish teacher told me the most important thing you can remember in the Spanish language is "?Donde esta el bano?" Translation= Where is the bathroom? I used to laugh about that. Today I was driving around and I had to pee really bad! I stopped at a 7 eleven but they didn't have any restrooms. She told me to go to the restaurant next door. In there I asked the woman where the bathrooms were and she looked at me in confusion and said "No speak English." In San Jose, it appears most adults only speak Spanish. All of the children are becoming bilingual in school, but the parents are more behind. I am definately a minority in these parts. So back to the story, I smiled and I was able to ask her in Spanish my question. Its one of the only things I can remember to say and today it was very relieving!DO put yourself first.There have been many times on this trip where I was worried about being late, wondering if I could just call the whole thing off, etc. I learned that I needed to put myself first if I wanted to be able to do my job properly. If that means sleeping a little bit longer so I am more energetic to get things done quicker than so be it. If it means taking some breaks instead of working more because you don't feel good and you need the down time, than do it. Everyday that I have been gone has gotten better because I am allowing myself to be myself and put my needs first.Many of the good tips I want to share require my PC so I can add some pictures and hopefully recordings. I only have a mac laptop with me out here so when I get home tomorrow night I will add some more posts on the topic.This post is a part of a series.

| Do's and Don'ts when Traveling with Anxiety: Part 1 | | 2007-09-05 06:31:00 | | Today was my first day of travel on my business trip and I have sooo much to say from what worked and what didn't that I thought it might be best if I broke it up into Parts. So here is Part 1.DON'T Assume you are in a good enough place to not properly prepare your mind beforehand.You would think I would have learned my lesson from my last trip to Hawaii. But when my business trip that was scheduled in few weeks suddenly turned into a few days, all I could think about was packing, scheduling, finances, etc. I figured I would bring my medication and my mp3 player with my recordings of positive affirmations and that would be enough. WRONG! Unfortunately on the way to the airport I had my first full blown panic attack in 4 months. I am not sad about it because I know that every setback has a valuable lesson to be learned, even if it has to be shoved down your throat in my case. I think the second time is a charm, and I won't forget it for the next time. I should have properly prepared myself mentally no matter how good I thought I would be. I should have made time to plan things out in my head, tackle all of my fears and what if statements no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. I ended up throwing up on the side of the road on the way to the airport. Then I couldn't stop shaking for about an hour. I felt nauseas and tired all through my first flight and didn't start feeling normal until I was almost to San Jose. All I ate before now was a couple peanuts, a juice box, a bite of a granola bar and some gum. Then as soon as I got in I had to go to work and didn't get back until 9:00 pm. I am emotionally and physically exhausted, and I am lonely in my hotel room. Today overall sucked. Stay tuned for Parts 2 and on...If you enjoyed this post Subscribe to The Reality of Anxiety or Add it to Your Technorati Favorites.

| A column about Australia Traveling | | 2007-07-10 23:10:00 | | "Travel within Australia does not currently offer the experiences and gratifications sought from a holiday," say the authors. "Some Australians are currently resentful of the poor value for money travelling domestically offers ... Not only is Australia not different but it has a high degree of perceived homogeneity. Indigenous culture is not motivating to most Australians and thus does not provide that cultural contrast."The idea that travel is educational is stronger for Europe. This allows parents to feel that they are 'good parents' and that they are doing the trip for others. More importantly, parents dread the thought of car travel with children."

| How to choose a Traveling Bag | | 2007-07-03 02:15:03 | | With so many options and types of travel bags & luggage to choose from, heres a quick and concise tip on how to choose a traveling bag.
Carry-on: A soft sided case with no wheels is the best choice
The most important factor is to ensure that it is the correct size to meet airline regulations - make sure to check with your travel agent for the maximum size and weight of carry-on luggage before your trip to avoid last minute travel hassles. Check also with your airline for their own regulations to make sure.
Soft-sided bags are a better choice because you can “squish” them into a compartment or under seat area. (more…)

| Wanderlust and Lipstick: The Essential Guide for Women Traveling Solo | | 2007-07-02 08:00:40 | | When author Beth Whitman generously offered to send me a copy of her new book, Wanderlust and Lipstick: The Essential Guide for Women Traveling Solo, it took me a few days to respond. After all, a guide geared toward women with “lipstick” in the title is the last book I would naturally pull from the shelves of my local Barnes and Noble. Being the crazy risk-taker that I am, I ultimately accepted, and it arrived in the mail a week later.
An overwhelming sense of curiosity lead me to open the book the same day I received it (a rarity for me). I quickly realized all of my (too embarrassing to mention) stereotypes about a guide for women travelers were unfounded. Beth weaves lessons learned from her own extensive travel experience with anecdotes from other women travelers of all ages. The result is a very inspiring read, regardless of one’s gender.

I know its a dorky title to this post but I couldn’t think of anything else to call it. Last night bear called to tell me he had sold 4 1/2 of the 1o cases he took with him when he left for Mountain Home on Monday. We went over his profit after gas and hotel and determined that he really would not have enough to cover things until July 9th after he sold his 5 1/2 remaining cases. The week of the 4th of July is the most popular vacation time in the USA and the majority of buyers for businesses and business owners go on vacation so there isn’t any point in bear trying to sell during that time. Keeping that in mind this morning I loaded 6 cases into my car and headed up to the area. I should have taken 9, by the time I got up there he already had 3 of what I was bringing sold.
There have only been 2 other occasions in which I have had to drive myself far from home. I wasn’t nervous about it. I looked up the directions on Map Quest the night before and wrote it down. | | By: Quietly Into the Night | | |
