			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>London has iconic landmarks, beautiful architecture and plenty of sights and attractions. The best thing is that those in the know are fully aware that the highlights of London can be experienced for free.</p>
<p>The London museums and galleries are the places to start. The British Museum, the most visited of all is free to enter. The National Gallery and its art exhibitions don&#8217;t cost a penny and the famous Tate Modern and Tate Britain are also free of charge. The wonderful National History Museum delights the young and old, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert all make up London&#8217;s free museums.</p>
<p>The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the London Eye are all in close proximity and cost nothing to look at and admire. A day can be spent wandering from one to the other and taking photographs.</p>
<p>The Changing of the Guards is not be missed on a trip to London. Visitors should get there early to get a view of Buckingham Palace as it is one of London&#8217;s most popular attractions. Every day in summer and every other day in winter the guards start their ritual at 11.30am on the dot and it is a spectacular sight. </p>
<p>With views of Buckingham Palace, St. James&#8217;s Park is a perfect stop for a picnic lunch. It is free to enter, as are all the London parks, and offers free guided tours of one of London&#8217;s rare green spots. Hyde Park, with Speakers Corner, free band concerts in the summer and the Diana Fountain is also worth a visit.</p>
<p>Covent Garden is a must on any London itinerary and it doesn&#8217;t have to cost anything. The licensed street performers put on fantastic shows and visitors can see comedians, acrobats, singers and dancers all for free.</p>
<p>On Southbank near Waterloo Bridge, the National Theatre puts on free music and exhibitions prior to the paying performances. It is well worth taking a look to see who is playing and what&#8217;s on show.</p>
<p>It is free to worship in Westminster Abbey. Evensong is held every day at 5.00pm and tourists can join in, see the beautiful architecture and listen to the choir without having to pay an entrance fee.</p>
<p>The BBC films a lot of its TV shows in London and are always on the lookout for audiences to fill up their studios. A quick visit to www.tvrecordings.com or www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/tickets reveals a whole host of free tickets to the latest recordings.</p>
<p>For those on a budget, London has more than its fair share of free sights, making it a capital city accessible to all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blackpool is a holiday resort in Britain where you will find Hotels from a range of prices, the options are limitless If you and your family are on a budget, you may be interested in something simple, such as the Barrons Hotel on Hornby Road. They offer a cozy dinning experience and have a Bar which specialise in malt Whiskey, and is withing walking distance of most of the sights in and around Blackpool.</p>
<p>if you are looking for somewhere even closer to the Promenade, you may like to try the Golden Sands Hotel The rooms come with everything you need such as hair dryers, irons with ironing boards, and the usual toiletries you may find in most hotels. Another option might be The Golden Nile Hotel. It too is ideally located among the hotels in Blackpool, and although it may not be much of a looker from the outside, it offers a quaint and unique lounge experience with a bar and billiards. The Golden Nile, like other hotels in Blackpool, has a modest number of rooms and the standard color television and tea drinkers&#8217; amenities.</p>
<p>In a slightly higher price bracket, the Grand Metropole may be worth more than a glance. The Metropole is the only true Promenade Hotel as it is the only hotel in Blackpool and the Sea-Side of the Prom. The entertainment crew and all wear full costumes for an experience not to be missed. The rooms are no as luxurious as other I could mention; however; the overall standard is good. you could try the Canasta, located nearby which is much more spacious, but does not have the impressive architecture. The Canasta also has the advantage of an ocean view from its luxurious Sun Lounge.</p>
<p>Many Hotels in Blackpool offer the &#8220;Blackpool Stags &amp; Hens&#8221; service, which means they welcome the rowdy party atmosphere associated with Stag and Hens Parties. Their options include anything from quiet bed and breakfast establishments to large hotels.</p>
<p>Blackpool has a wide variety of Accommodation for all types of tourists. With any option, it should be noted that hotels here generally charge per person, not per room, and so prices should be compared with your guest list in mind.</p>
<p>You may think it is difficult to find a decent cheap hotel in Blackpool, but there are so many <a href="http://www.boardandlodgings.com/Lancashire/Blackpool/Town">Hotels in Blackpool</a> that you are spoilt for choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A fun camping trip will be as good as you make. If you forget some of the necessities that you must have, the trip will be harder right from the start. Make a well thought out check list before you start packing and you will be less likely to forget anything essential. The tent is by far from the only important things you will need for a great camping experience.</p>
<p>You could end up in serious trouble if you forget to put a first aid kit at the top of your check list. You never set out on a camping trip expecting to get hurt or sick, but it happens a lot more often than people are prepared for. A lantern is a necessity because in the night you might not be able to see well enough with just a flashlight or a fire. If there is a snake  or spiders lurking around, you certainly want to be able to see those easily.</p>
<p>Chairs are usually brought along for comfort, but they are actually a much safer and more comfortable choice than sitting on the ground. They will help keep the insect from getting you so easily. You always need a grill and perhaps a rotisserie for over the fire. Many campers prefer camp cooking this way, but it is still a good idea to bring along a camping stove just in case you have a problem with getting a fire started.</p>
<p>Having an air bed that you can inflate easily will make it a lot more pleasant when you are trying to sleep. Having to sleep on the cold and hard ground is not many people&#8217;s idea of a good time and will often contribute to making you cranky and ill. No one wants to have to deal with a cranky camper so a sleeping bag alone might not be the best answer for some.</p>
<p>Two more things you might also want on your check list is a tent fan and a tent light. Trying to sleep in a hot tent can also keep you from resting well. Tent lights are great to have just to be able to see at night. Waking up and knowing there is a bug crawling on you somewhere can be even more frightening if you can&#8217;t see it! These are the basic essentials you will need for any enjoyable camping trip. You should always make up your own check list because what one person might not need could be essential for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At this phase you might have already determined that Cuba is the country that you want to visit for your next vacation but perhaps need some assistance on the booking side of it . I know this could sound a bit too trivial but you should know few important things in order to get the best deal for your <a target='_blank' href="http://www.quest2cuba.co.uk">holidays in Cuba</a>.</p>
<p>The fact that Cuba is such a delightful and increasingly popular destination, presents travel agents with a real problem . Cuba is definitely not a last minute destination , in particular if you are travelling in the high season.</p>
<p>The peak or high season in Cuba falls within the months of July and August, the Easter period, Christmas and New year&#8217;s eve . November, December, January, February and March are awfully well-liked months particularly for travellers from Europe in search of a warm country to avoid few days of miserable weather.</p>
<p>Quite regularly I get customers requesting me to arrange a package holiday for them in these particular periods, and every so often the phone call comes to close to the departure date . It is extremely frustrating for me and ultimately the client. For one pure reason, I just can not recommend holiday worth it because all the popular areas and best hotels are completely booked, and then I am left with the only honest answer I can give. &#8220;I am truthfully sorry but at this point there is nothing available that I feel comfortable recommending &#8221;</p>
<p>If you are looking to stay in big resorts then there is not much to worry about. The problem arises when customers want to combine in a package locations like Havana, Viales Valley, Las Terrazas, Cienfuegos, Trinidad and or Santiago de Cuba. Areas like these with the exception of Havana are very limited when it comes to hotel availabilities.</p>
<p>If what you want is to put together a tailor made Cuba holiday in a high season my guidance to you is to call at least 4 months prior to departure in order to secure not only the rooms in your preferred hotels but also the best deal from the airlines . If you unfortunately did not read this article before and are thinking about a multi centre holiday to Cuba, there is always a possibility to find something available but is not going to be the kind of holiday that we wish for you.</p>
<p>In the case of low season months is trouble-free to find availabilities and good deals in terms of price and it really does not matter much when you call. Even so we feel very confident to put together the kind of itinerary that will fulfil your holidays</p>
<p>I truly hope you have found this article a useful resource and sincerely wish you a very pleasant stay in Cuba.</p>
<p>Before you decide to go for you <a href="http://www.quest2cuba.co.uk">Cuba holidays</a> make sure you visit <a href="http://www.quest2cuba.co.uk/hotels-reservation/havana-hotels.aspx">Havana Hotels</a> in J.M. Maurette&#8217;s Website</p>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things on many people's "bucket list" is to whale watch and see some of these gentle, magnificent creatures in their natural habitats. It's hard to really picture the sheer magnitude of their size or grasp the dynamics of the pod from video documentaries. Some things in life you just have to experience for yourself. While there are many places around the world to visit during whale watching season, you have to be careful that you're not choosing an exploitative enterprise that will take you on a "whale chase," more than a watch. It's best to stay at least 300 feet from the pod and view from binoculars or let them come to you; but many operators, in their rush to provide the biggest thrill, take tourists on a sea-sickening journey that will threaten the psyche of the whales, not to mention the contents of your stomach!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things on many people&#8217;s &#8220;bucket list&#8221; is to whale watch and see some of these gentle, magnificent creatures in their natural habitats. It&#8217;s hard to really picture the sheer magnitude of their size or grasp the dynamics of the pod from video documentaries. Some things in life you just have to experience for yourself. While there are many places around the world to visit during whale watching season, you have to be careful that you&#8217;re not choosing an exploitative enterprise that will take you on a &#8220;whale chase,&#8221; more than a watch. It&#8217;s best to stay at least 300 feet from the pod and view from binoculars or let them come to you; but many operators, in their rush to provide the biggest thrill, take tourists on a sea-sickening journey that will threaten the psyche of the whales, not to mention the contents of your stomach!</p>
<p>Azores, a remote Portuguese chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the best places for European whale watching. Over the summer season, it&#8217;s possible to catch a glimpse of short finned pilot whales and sperm whales, although the perfect time is from February to June, when you can view fin, killer, humpback, sei and blue whales, not to mention a few types of dolphins. But in the winter months (November through January) there is not much opportunity to observe anything.</p>
<p>The setting for Moby Dick was none other than America&#8217;s own Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In fact, through the course of the whaling industry&#8217;s zenith, this Northeastern port was a happening place. Nowadays the whale watch industry has picked up where whalers left off, taking visitors by boat to observe humpback whale pods, minke whales, pilot whales, right whales, sea turtles and dolphins. If you&#8217;re lucky, throughout April, you can observe the northern right whale, which is the most rare whale species on the planet. Since the currents push food down from Nova Scotia, whales like to feed off the coasts of Boston, Provincetown, Plymouth and Barnstable. May through October is generally the perfect time to go.</p>
<p>Dominica, one of the Caribbean islands, is famous for its dazzling coral reefs, undersea hot springs, and strikingly attractive marine life. Tourists visiting Christopher Columbus&#8217;s paradise in the Lesser Antilles will enjoy rainforest nature hikes and observing some of the rarest animals, birds and plants throughout the world. Dominica is considered to be the only country on the planet where sperm whales reside throughout the year. Every so often there will be whale watch opportunities, and you&#8217;ll observe feeding, breeding and migration of pygmy sperm whales and dwarf sperm whales, together with killer, humpback and Bryde&#8217;s whales, Risso&#8217;s dolphins, spinner dolphins, common dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins and giant sea turtles. Although tourists are likely to spot something any time of the year, November through April enjoy the most wide ranging sightings and the winter months feature the most acrobatics when the humpback and sperm whales mate.</p>
<p>No discussion about the world&#8217;s whale watch capitals would be complete without mentioning Hermanus, South Africa. The best shore-based whale watching opportunities are located at Walker Bay, the southernmost tip of Africa, where whales leap out of the water, breach and fluke. Each year, Hermanus hosts a Whale Festival to celebrate the return of the southern right whales in May. Here they&#8217;ll mate and calve in the warm, shallow waters throughout the spring and summer, although the best time for viewing is in October. Travelers will enjoy Bryde&#8217;s, humpback and killer whale watching and, most commonly, southern right whales. With great restaurants, accommodations and local attractions, Hermanus is a great place to vacation.</p>

Below are a number of tips to choosing the best seat when you book your <a target='_blank' href="http://www.cheapflights.com/">airline tickets</a>:</p>
<p>1. To book a better seat, make sure you buy your seat early because the closer you get to your flight date, fewer seats will be available. You want to make sure you have a good selection of seats to choose so you should book at least 21 days ahead of your scheduled flight. As well, many booking engines and airline websites provide a seat availability map so you can compare seats to find the best one for your needs.</p>
<p>2. If comfort is more important to you than price, especially if you are on a long flight, don&#8217;t make the price the most important factor when booking your seat. If you pay a little more for your <a target='_blank' href="http://www.cheapflights.com/">airfare</a> ticket, you can get features and services that make your flight more enjoyable. For instance, better seats, power port, and a better entertainment system may cost a bit more, but the flight will be much more comfortable. As well, several airlines will charge extra for a seat with extra legroom. You may also be able to get a more comfortable seat. For instance, you may be able to book a seat in economy with extra legroom for a modest supplementary fee. If you know exactly what seat you want, be specific when you book your flight.</p>
<p>3. If you are looking for more room, book a bulkhead seat. These are the seats located directly behind barriers such as a curtain or wall. Bulkhead seats tend to be roomier, especially the leg room. These seats are often chosen by people with small children and infants where a bassinet is required.</p>
<p>4. It is important to arrive at the airport early or you may lose your seat. As well, when you arrive, confirm your seat when you check in. This will ensure you get your seat, or you may be able to switch to a more comfortable seat. Most airlines will allow you to check in online 24 hours before the scheduled flight. When you arrive at your gate, ask if any new seats have opened up.</p>
<p>5. Seat pitch and width can vary from airline to airline, therefore, you should compare seat pitch and width dimensions. Use an airline website&#8217;s seat comparison chart to help you locate the seats with the best pitch and width. Make sure the chart you look at corresponds to your plane type.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons why we go on a vacation is to have fun and relax. When your vacation includes flying, you want to make sure your flight is also enjoyable. Choosing the best seat will help ensure a relaxing and comfortable flight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Darcey Bussell portrait commissioned to mark ballerina&#8217;s first ever role as ships godmother to P&amp;O cruises Azura.</p>
<p>Mother-of-two Bussell, 40, is now based in Australia, with the Sydney Dance Company being one of three charities she has chosen to benefit from the naming ceremony.</p>
<p>Darcey Bussell epitomises glamour, sophistication and elegance, all qualities P&amp;O have strived to achieve in Azura.Azura will be stylish, sophisticated and serene. And every element of life on board delivered with a meticulous attention to detail and as dance will play a key part in this, it is entirely fitting for Darcey to give Azura the best possible start in life.</p>
<p>Azura&#8217;s maiden voyage departs from Southampton on Saturday 12 April 2010 and is a classic 16 night central Mediterranean cruise featuring calls in Venice and Dubrovnik. Prices starting from 1,524 per person.</p>
<p>From a distance she&#8217;ll look just like her sister, but P&amp;O&#8217;s new superliner Azura couldn&#8217;t have a more different personality from Ventura, launched last year with the roar of giant Scalextrics and all the fun of the circus.</p>
<p>News that childish pursuits such as toy car racing and bungee trampolining have been set aside for more grown-up pastimes For entertainment there&#8217;ll be dancing in the Atrium; music in Manhattan; drinks in The Marquis; and mesmerising shows, of two very different kinds, in The Planet Bar and The Playhouse.</p>
<p>Her dining experiences will be truly exceptional. Behind every one of the restaurants you&#8217;ll find passion, flair and expertise. Michelin-star chef Atul Kochhar&#8217;s venue Sindhu, will serve dishes blending India&#8217;s homeland spices with familiar British tastes and textures.</p>
<p>The first single cabins in P&amp;O&#8217;s seven-ship fleet are perhaps the greatest nod to the era when passengers travelling alone were not seen as difficult customers. They are the most successful cabins in terms of sales already booked via p&amp;o cruise agent website Southampton Cruises.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parents who went to <a target='_blank' href='http://www.swiftnaturecamp.com/overnight.htm'>Overnight Summer Camp</a> as a child can always tell you a cherished story they still remember in exact detail. To them memories of summer camp are lifelong reminders of experiences with a lifetime&#8217;s worth of value.</p>
<p>Few places on earth can provide a child with opportunities for never ending daily fun the way the best camps can. All of that great fun would be reason enough for anyone to want to be at an overnight camp, but summer camp offers much more to a child&#8217;s life, whether it&#8217;s a nature camp or animal camp or a science camp or a nonspecific resident camp.</p>
<p>Summer camps are healthy! Exercise is a part of any child&#8217;s life of play, and camp is a natural provider of constant, safe, imaginative physical play. This brings opportunities for every camper&#8217;s intellect and imagination to get plenty of exercise at the same time.</p>
<p>Summer camp offers a wonderful chance for kids to learn the skills of social interaction in a more creative and independent way than school settings allow. Guided by capable adult friends and role models called counselors, campers get an independent chance to apply what they have been taught at home in a larger world. If a summer camp is a coed camp, there is even more opportunity for kids to learn how to relate with members of the other gender as friends and equals.</p>
<p>Campers grow into themselves, setting newer and higher standards for their own behavior. The kids camp daily context is activities that encourage perseverance, listening skills, teamwork, and the ability to recognize similarities and appreciate differences in each individual. Self discovery becomes a lifelong habit.</p>
<p>Summer camp is a new chance to rediscover a growing life. Sleep-away camp is an opportunity for each child to come to a new place and try new things and make new friends. Everyone starts as an equal with a chance to just be oneself around others. Summer camp is so much more than the most affordable childcare choice parents can make. hildren that are Homeschooled really benefit from the experiences of a <a target='_blank' href='http://www.swiftnaturecamp.com/homeschool.htm'>Home school Summer Camp</a></p>
<p>Swift Nature Camp is a non-competetive, traditional coed overnight summer camp where children ages 6-15 enjoy playing in nature, caring for animals and learning science. This <a href='http://www.swiftnaturecamp.com/science-atcamp.htm'>Science Summer Camp</a> provides Traditional camping activities include canoe trips, archery, riding, waterskiing and more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Considering heading off on a trip to Toronto? Well you&#8217;re in luck. Canada&#8217;s largest city is a unique and interesting one, with a variety of options for local entertainment whether you prefer the arts, live music, sports or tasty culinary treats.</p>

<p>The Toronto Raptors is Canada&#8217;s only professional basketball team. In their early years, they struggled before signing Vince Carter, but now find themselves as worthy contenders in the National Basketball Association.</p>
