Sunrise In Guanaja

Guanaja Honduras is a stunning tropical gem. A small island, only three by eleven miles, it is located in the Bay Islands off the northern coast of Honduras. When I was growing up in the Pacific Northwest, little did I know that someday I would be opening my eyes to a sunrise in Guanaja!

So we are here, my husband, our little Maltese dog and me. We came down to visit this Central American beauty for our birthday celebrations, only two days apart.

Proper Preparation For Hiking And Outdoor Vacations

Preparing for outdoor vacations requires some forethought as far as items you will need. If hiking is on your itinerary, selecting a good pair of boots is a worthwhile investment. Poor quality boots can make hiking a less-than-pleasant outdoor travel experience. On the other hand, a good pair of boots can give you the comfort and support to successfully hike any trail.

A long hike places a lot of stress on your ankles and feet which is transmitted through your legs. It can eventually affect your entire body, particularly your back. Yes, blisters are a discomfort but poor quality boots can cause problems far worse. It is important to have a solid base providing the support your entire body needs.

Tips For Your Winter Camping Gear

Your Survival Depends on it.

The quality of your winter camping gear is very important and in some case critical. You need to be absolutely sure that it will withstand the temperature variations as well as the extreme conditions you may encounter during your camping excursions. The fact is, nobody goes on a camping trip expecting to be caught by extreme weather conditions or fall down an icy embankment and break an arm or a leg, but these things happens, so you need to be prepared for any potential situation if you want to survive.

The Driving Top Ten

I recently drove from the South to the Midwest and back again. It has been quite a while since I’ve driven a long distance (about 1,000 miles each way) and it caused me to remember why I don’t like to take such trips anymore. We all have our own little idiosyncrasies for driving; for example, older people tend to move more slowly and cautiously than younger people who race pell-mell down the highway; and people tend to drive according to the customs of the geographical region they come from regardless where they currently are. Nonetheless, I have assembled a “Top 10″ list of the basic driving habits that really irritates me and, if corrected, would make driving a lot more bearable for all of us. There is nothing earth-shattering here, just some observations on common driving deficiencies:

Should You Buy A Timeshare - Check These 4 Facts About Timeshares Before You Buy

1. Timeshares are not a good financial investment, regardless of what a timeshare sales rep tells you. If you buy from a developer, you are paying all their marketing expenses and the resale value of most timeshares is less than half of what they are sold for by most developers. Disney is virtually the only company that has a right of first refusal clause for resales, so for any other company I recommend buying resales only. For Disney Vacation Club, it’s a toss up. Do some comparison shopping and make sure you know what DVC is offering as incentives and what all the admin costs are on any resale purchases.
