Holidays for many of us are all about getting away from the stresses, concerns and inconveniences of every day life, and enjoying an all inclusive holiday is one the best possible ways to make that happen. After all, worrying about how much you’re spending each day can often be a serious hindrance to your all-round holiday experience. All inclusive holidays remove this potential pitfall and makes it easier for couples, friends and families to indulge themselves without worrying and resultantly get the most from their holiday experiences.
Precisely what activities are available to all inclusive holiday makers depends on the package they’ve lined up and the location they’re heading to, but they will typically revolve around the usual beach-side watersports and more energetic pursuits like cycling and tennis. In terms of entertainment, an all inclusive deal entitles holiday makers to take in any of the shows and performances going on around their resort and they can always get stuck into the buffet if there is one.
The benefits of all inclusive holidays as compared with regular travel bookings is that so much of the financial worry of the process is left behind at the airport. You can put your wallet and credit cards away as soon as you are met by the tour operating staff and taken to your resort. We all know how easy it is to see costs spiral out of control as you’re relaxing and enjoying yourself in a beautiful holiday environment, but all inclusive deals mean that you won’t be terrified of checking your bank balance in the morning or when you get back on home soil.
And of course, all inclusive deals area available on accommodation and resorts in some of the most attractive and exotic places around the Mediterranean and in great locations around the world. For hard-working cash strapped families in particular, all inclusive arrangements offer an ideal way to make sure that their holiday plans are affordable. For many people in fact, the security and reassurance that all inclusive deals offer makes the difference between being able to go on holiday and having to stay at home and save up for next year.
Once an all inclusive trip is booked and paid for, you can look forward to a week or two of unencumbered enjoyment and old-fashioned fun in whichever corner of the world leapt out at you from the brochure or the web pages this time around.

Kirsty Henderson, of NerdyNomad.com just put out a new e-book, “The Underground Guide to International Volunteering.” If you are thinking about volunteering overseas or if you are interested in reading from those who have done it, it’s your best choice for the most up to date information, resources, and advice. There are a lot of interviews in the 63 page e-book and most every one of the volunteers will tell you it’s been a good experience. Did I mention I dig the cover as well?

I figured I’d add this to the short list of bag tags. The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Store has all kinds of luggage tags, and they are very cool.

Apparently bringing rail lines and high speed trains to the US has been a task no one has yet been able to accomplish. However, many agree that the $8 billion from the stiumulus will give HSR a decent shot in the United States.
Anyone who has been to Europe, and I assume most of this readership has, will tell you the rail system is terrific. Probably one of the main factors that make backpacking in Europe financially possible. The USHSR is dedicated to doing it. They have been around for a little while, this is nothing brand new, but they are marketing this decade as the decade of high speed rail. While their logo is pretty sweet…their website is not so much, but regardless, they do have information and future plans for the first rail network.

I’m not sure how they find so many maps, but they do. StrangeMaps is the place to go if you are like me and find maps simply enjoyable. Every kind of map and graphic you would think of is on this site. So kudos to the creators of strange maps.

What does a travel guy do when he’s bored and out of money? He watches the Travel Channel…and gets hungry when he sees the Chowdown Countdown.
I also became a little upset because most all these places look great but who is going to write all that information down on the chance they will be in the area. Not me. Luckily I was not so upset after visiting the TC website and finding that they already did the logistics with google maps. All 101 eateries on the countdown are on the website….listed by state. I’m not saying it’s the most navigation friendly way of searching, but at least they published it online. As for the restaurants…they are for the most part ma & pop shops with original recipes, great atmospheres, and what appears to be great food. Somebody needs to make an app for this kind of food.

Just discovered an excellent post (and good design) from Carryology. They compare backpacks and messenger bags to determine who needs which. It’s slightyly humorous while making good arguments for each. I agree with much of what they say, and while I own both, for day to day activities, I prefer the messenger for the simply pure reason that it’s more stylish. But for backpacking, I’ve never found a use for one. Maybe I’ll try it on my next trip to appear more local and not so touristy.
