			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RV or recreational vehicle is some sort of vehicle that quite practical to be brought on travel or holiday crossing big highway street. Practical because with these vehicle you don&#8217;t have afraid of where you&#8217;re going to spend a night. </p>
<p>RV usually being used for camping or some other activities, but you should know, that using RV requires big and straight highway, because of its size. In some countries because of the number of RV communities, they have RV park facilities, in here they will be able to park and fill water for their RV supplies, of course with some small costs.<br />
<span id="more-104"></span><br />
Just like hotels, caravan or RV park have a variety of rating with the star system. The higher the rating the more facilities owned and also more orderly environment. The problem is the higher rating means more expensive price. Caravan park, who has obtained rating 3-4 usually have a pool, sauna, children playground, recreation room, beyond the general things such as laundry rooms, barbecue place, a small shop that sells bread, milk, gas and other foods.</p>
<p>The cost of staying at a caravan park depending on the star rating as well, such as facilities usage (camping, cabin or villa), time (during holidays and week-school children usually end up around 15%), the number of people staying and location. Currently some country such as Australia and USA have big caravan society and RV park.</p>
<p>It is obvious that practical is something considerable as strong point using caravan or RV. Using <a href="http://www.boatnrv.com/-used-2010-gulf%20stream-wildwood-vid81013550-215908a" target="_blank">gulf stream travel trailers</a> as your caravan and experience the different and how convenient holiday with RV.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.virtualtraverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/lagoo.jpg"><img src="http://www.virtualtraverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/lagoo-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="lagoo" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-102" /></a>Remember scene from movies The Beach that star by Leonardo Di Caprio? If you wondering where is that place, it is in Phi Phi Island, Thailand. It is also the most place of Thailand people wanted to visit. </p>
<p>In Thailand language, phi phi island also called as Koh Phi Phi (&#8216;Koh&#8217; means island), actually consists of two islands: Koh Phi Phi Don is the larger and Koh Phi Phi Leh. Koh Phi Phi Don is the base to stay while Phi Phi Leh are not no mans island, yet could be visited every day. Tourists who come here should go back in the afternoon because there is no infrastructure at all other than a public toilet. Usually the main tourist destination to the Phi Phi Islands is to go to Maya Beach.<br />
<span id="more-99"></span><br />
Maya Beach became famous after the filming location of The Beach, starring Leonardo Caprio. A quiet beach and sheltered so it resembles a hidden beach. The water is green turqoise adds to this beautiful beach. Phi Phi Leh island is actually just an area of ​​6 square km, in the form of limestone mountains in that the material containing calcium carbonate, so here greenish water.</p>
<p>To go into here, we can hire a speedboat or long boat from Phi Phi Don. This boat can be chartered from dozens of agencies that were scattered near the ferry pier of Phi Phi Don. So cheap, you can find 8-10 people sharing partners (before going into the office of agent) or choose a public boat.</p>
<p>For convenience, you should come over here before 9 am. Passing of this hour Maya Beach was invaded by hundreds of tourists who come from Phuket to use a large ferry boats that can not be free to take pictures again.</p>
<p>Practically no infrastructure on the island besides the toilet, so if you just want to come take pictures it&#8217;s quite 30 minutes was completed. To be memorable, you should swim or snorkel here. Cook over here just take pictures? Bring your own snorkeling equipment, or lease earlier than Phuket or Phi Phi Don.</p>
<p>If someone said that staying on Phi Phi Island, it must be the residence on the island of Phi Phi Don. The extent of 28 square km, mostly hotels, restaurants and shops. No vehicles because of Pavement streets 1-3 meters wide. Exploring the island is just capitalized on foot, will wear a shirt or bare chest a la Caucasians. One more thing, make no mistake costumes here, no one is wearing the pants except the clerk.</p>
<p>There are several beaches, but that is known is Ton Sai Beach and Loh Dalam. Ton Sai is the jetty where ferry boats and lean, if you want to play the water and swim preferably to Loh Dalam. Ao line (beach) Loh In long enough, want to sunbathe (there are naked you know) or swim until satisfied. If you like hiking, could rise to the viewpoint on the hill.</p>
<p>Because of its place, resort are not that many, and usually manage by local residence. While guest house are many indeed, but generally located &#8216;rather in the&#8217; so-called downtown, not in beach side. The habit of Western tourists usually come as they go, without booking first, but for the peak season in December-January the number raise into 100%, I advice to book first. For corporate clients, don&#8217;t worry, you could also contact <a href="http://pothos.us" target="_blank">http://pothos.us</a> they able to support you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Outdoor vacation always interesting to do, but the idea could stop just by asking what should you do in there and is it boring or not?</p>
<p>Okay giving you a little solutions on those outdoor vacation idea, lets go to Oklahoma. What to do in there? lots of thing actually, but you don&#8217;t want to miss bald eagle attraction. Bald eagle, also a symbol of United States of America, during the winter are all over Oklahoma.<br />
<span id="more-90"></span><br />
Around 1.000 bald eagle travel to Oklahoma during winter each years. If you&#8217;re asking me, why they attract to Oklahoma, not others, the answer is in the water which didn&#8217;t entirely freeze.</p>
<p>Many resorts offering their cabins just to see these bald eagle attraction, one of it is <a href="http://www.brokenbowlakecabins.com" target="_blank">broken bow cabins</a>. A binocular, a camera, and a thick jacket to cover you from the winters are all you need to watch this magnificent view on Oklahoma.</p>
<p>Choose a good location for this eagle watching. Among the possibilities is the Mountain Fork River in southeastern Oklahoma, Lake Thunderbird in central Oklahoma, the Great Salt Plains Lake in northwest, southwest on Quartz Mountain and Keystone Lake in the northeast.</p>
<p>You could either sign up to local tour or guide yourself to watch the bald eagle. Finding a tour is easy, just ask the local, or ask your resorts, some resorts running their own tour.</p>
<p>In order to get a good spot for watching the bald eagle and tours, its recommended to book earlier, before its runs out. Because its just one time on a year, that making people comes to see it.</p>

<p>8. Kauai Garden<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.virtualtraverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sicily.jpg"><img src="http://www.virtualtraverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sicily-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="sicily" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-33" /></a>Standing in the Sicilian sun with your feet washed by the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea, it’s easy to forget that there’s more to the tri-corner island than beauty. The beaches are magnificent—turquoise waters stretching out to the horizon, soft sand, gentle waves and some of the clearest water in the world. In the distance, on the rockier portions of the coast, volcanic rock juts out of the sea, its dark color and jagged edge adding drama to the vista. </p>
<p>Inland, the hills rise up and greet the sun, patched with golden fields of grain, vibrant citrus orchards, and the vineyards that produce Sicily’s fragrant nero d’avola wines. The skies are blue, the weather is warm, and somewhere, a few steps down a narrow street, someone is rolling fresh pasta to tempt you back from the shore. <span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p>There’s no mistaking Sicily for part of mainland Italy. Though Sicily has been officially part of Italy for nearly 150 years, it has also been ruled in turn by Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and Normans, and the island has kept the flavors of each passing wave of conquerors. Only a few blocks beyond the monuments to Vittorio Emanuele II outside the train station in Palermo are palaces and churches with the domes, mosaics, and geometric loveliness of medieval Arab architecture. </p>
<p>Baroque details line graceful, decaying buildings that shade sprawling markets and tanned children playing soccer in the streets. Most visitors come to Sicily for the weather: the climate is warm year-round, and in the summer months the sunshine is constant and temperatures hover around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. But in Sicily, history, culture, and natural wonders are layered on so thick that the trouble is in choosing the adventure, not finding it. </p>
<p>One adventure worth having, though, is a voyage to the Aeolian Islands off the north coast. The ancient Greeks and Romans called these islands the home of the winds, and their breezes offer some relief from the constant beat of the sun. One boasts the forge of the fire god himself: Vulcano, a volcanic island reachable by ferry or hydrofoil with sulfur baths and dark umber beaches. </p>
<p>Here, the intrepid and long-winded can climb to the top of the sleeping volcano that spewed forth much of the island and peer into the crater once said to be the entrance to Hades. Though it hasn’t erupted in a century, Vulcano’s main crater is far from extinct, its peak smoking with sulfur from multiple exhaust holes and the giant divot of its mouth still muddy-looking and dangerous. </p>
<p>The rock that surrounds the crater is as brittle and sharp as ceramic. Signs warn that hikers should spend no more than a few minutes at the top, lest the fumes intoxicate or poison them. Still, with the wind blowing freely on the sweat spent making it up, the feeling and the view are well worth the scorching hour-long climb.</p>
<p>While the ancient Greeks assigned their gods’ homes on the outer islands, though, they worshiped them on Sicily itself. And after experiencing Vulcano’s primordial power, you can remind yourself of the force of human culture in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. Here a complex of Greek temples was hewn from the native red sandstone and erected on a ridge overlooking the countryside, with the hazy cerulean smudge of the Mediterranean visible below the swell of the fields. Modern Agrigento rises to one side, and majestic sandstone forms cascade down the slope, linked by a pale road the Romans called the Sacred Way. </p>
<p>Each temple has its own appeal. The temple to Hera offers the best view and perhaps the most picturesque profile, perched atop the high point on the temples’ ridge. The sanctuary to Concordia is nearly intact despite the twenty-odd centuries since its construction, and dark shadows hide its inner depths even at the height of the day. </p>
<p>The temple of Zeus, meanwhile, is massive and almost completely destroyed, its ruins now poetically crumbling courtyards and staircases among the aloes and olive trees. The temple of Heracles demands humility, one row of its massive columns still standing and each one three times as wide around as the arm span of the average man. Together, the complex inspires awe—after two millennia, its structures are not only standing, but ethereally beautiful and seemingly indestructible. </p>
<p>Sicily’s mysteries are too many and too varied to explore in one short trip. But like the striking beauty of the island itself and the cultural marks so many have made on it, the memory of them will surely endure.<br />
