			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/family-holiday.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-402" title="family-holiday" src="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/family-holiday.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>After all busy workday all along the year, you need a break from time to time. And since it is so important that you use your holiday moment for completely de-stressing, it is absolutely important that you choose the best holiday vacation spot each time and avoid wasting your days away, your hard-earned cash and your value time with loved ones. This guide help you to pick the best holiday vacation spot for <span id="more-401"></span>you, and covers some of the 5 best points you must consider when planning that next depart :</p>
<p>1) Choose the best time – What time do you think you’re scheduling on taking your next vacation?  Some places are only attractive to holidaymakers on the certain time of the year due to climatic surroundings.  Consider carefully in this area whenever you plan for travelling and then analyze the rainfall and temperature graphs for your shortlist of places and ensure it will likely be neither extremely too hot or cold windy whenever you plan your holiday and vacation spot.</p>
<p>2) Your financial plan – your financial plan will need a serious concern on wherever and when you can travel. Travelling out of season on a final minute package holiday will obviously save you plenty of cash, however there are more ways to make your dollars go further.  Travel agents these days recommend early bird reserving special discounts, for instance, alternatively you can reserve each period of the vacation singly and probably save more through calling airways, hotels and appoint car companies direct and requesting on any exclusive offers or deals they provide and perhaps you could potentially even consider a home swap to save on lodging costs.</p>
<p>3) Travelling family – When you have young pre-school kids, you may have the opportunity to take a trip out of the peak school public holiday times and in this way save yourself thousands,  however you’ll have the additional trouble of having to travel with half a tonne of baby.  Study your airline and resort regarding of the amenities they provides for family. Furthermore, you should consider about the warmth, sun and wetness aspects while travelling as kids suffer more and as well tend to vocalise more than us when uncomfortable for extended periods of time!</p>
<p>4) Facilities – If you wish to remain healthy while away, you might want to consider is there a hotel fitness center, what about a couple of spa? So that you could benefit from your time away.  Is there any bar and restaurant, what about gift stores plus a mini bazaar?  Consider all of the facilities you prefer to to get access to before you start your study and then whenever you discover an attractive vacation spot, tick off your record of attractive facilities alongside what it offers.</p>
<p>5) Get Suggestions – Hear your relatives, friends and colleagues once they inform you regarding anywhere they’ve been. Study from their experiences and failure stories and take several suggestions from trusted resources. These suggestions could be a good way to start your study, if you discover that the vacation spot likely fits you to a tee it is also possible to learn about  the top places to consume, the must see sights plus the friendliest workers till you start out that  gives you an additional assurance and get your holiday off to best start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Holidays-in-Tenerife.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-368" title="Holidays in Tenerife" src="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Holidays-in-Tenerife.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Holidays in Tenerife</strong> certainly pack a punch when it comes to sun-drenched beach breaks. Jaw dropping to say the least, this island is less golden swathes of sand and more black volcanic seashores. But if it&#8217;s yellow-white sands you&#8217;re after, you&#8217;ll find your ideal summer <a href="http://www.thetraveltour.com/category/holiday-travel/">holiday</a> spot in <strong>Las Teresitas</strong>. One thing&#8217;s for sure, you&#8217;ll return from your Tenerife holiday with a <span id="more-367"></span>tan that even the most discerning sun-seeker would be proud of.</p>
<p>Away from the beach, holidays in <strong>Tenerife</strong> take a turn towards the more traditional. And the lunar-like landscape is peppered with banana plantations, whitewashed villages and shuttered colonial buildings. And the shopping&#8217;s just as attractive. <strong>Santa Cruz</strong> and <strong>Los Cristianos</strong> are the perfect places to take advantage of the lower taxes. Department stores positively drip with labels but you can also find tiny shops brimming with good buys too. So make sure you pack your credit card, as it&#8217;s bound to feel the burn.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve bagged your all your last minute bargains, slip on your new outfit and make a beeline for <strong>Tenerife&#8217;s</strong> buzzing night spots. The island comes to life as happy hours announce the beginning of the night. After a couple of cocktails, make your way to the clubs and discos that spill big beats and floor fillers into the darkness. Whether you&#8217;re looking for 80&#8242;s electro-pop, songs from the swinging 60&#8242;s or top chart tunes – let your hair down in some of the best parties on the island and dance to the music.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/lisbon-at-night-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-360" title="lisbon-at-night-1" src="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/lisbon-at-night-1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Lisbon</strong>, capital and heart of <strong>Portugal</strong>. The city spreads out over the hills bordering the banks of the <strong>Tajo</strong> River, where the statutory of the river forms what is called the Sea of Straw (Mar de la Paja). Its Phoenician name, Alisubbo, which means cove, inlet or small bay, gives us a good idea of what it must have been like for its first inhabitants; a privileged riverside paradise.<span id="more-359"></span></p>
<p>Coming out of our <strong>Lisbon </strong>hotel, which should overlook the Eduardo VII Park around the marques of <strong>Pombal Square</strong>, you head down the main Avenue <strong>da Liberdade </strong>towards the <strong>River Tajo</strong>, pasing in front of the national Theatre <strong>Dona maria II</strong>, in the famous <strong>Rossio Square</strong>, the center of the city where there is a commemorative momument to Pedro IV. In the square is the <strong>Sao Domingo</strong> Church and to one side, the Square of <strong>Figueira</strong> with <strong>King Joao</strong> I majestically sitting atop his horse.</p>
<p>Taking the <strong>Rua</strong> ( avenue) <strong>Augusta</strong>, we are drawn towards the Commerce Square, right on the waterfront. Facing the south-side, there is a wharf opening out onto the channel where you can take very relaxing boat rides on the river and to the north of the square, the Triumphal Arch, style Louis XIV representing glory, bravery and intelligence. Heading to the west, direction of <strong>Cascais</strong> and <strong>Estoril</strong>, we first enter the area called <strong>Chiado</strong>, one of the most characteristic and enchanting areas of <strong>Lisbon</strong>. <strong>Chiado</strong> means sly or clever, named after two of its most notorious occupants. Here we can see the <strong>Chaido</strong> Museum, its collection of art is dedicated to the Portuguese art from 1850 to 1950. Its open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10 to 6, Monday not open and Tuesday from 2 to 6. From here the Museum of Ancient Art, built in the 17th c., right on the waterfront.</p>
<p>This is <strong>Portugal</strong>´s most important museum which is installed in the Palace of Count <strong>Alvor</strong>, better known as the Palace of<strong> Janelas Verdes</strong>, located on the same street. There are 65 halls with an endless list of painters and sculptors from all over the world. Changing over from painted art, we can go to the Carriage Museum and feast our eyes on a different kind of art, horse drawn carriages. Elaborate luxurious carriages accompanied by the ornaments and trappings used on the horses in the 17th and 18th c. A <strong>Manuelino</strong> gem, the <strong>Monastary</strong> of the <strong>Jeronimus </strong>started in 1502 is a must to be seen. Its main aisle and nave does not only amaze us with its amplitude and brightness but also for a clashing and ill-assorted combination of decoration together with the <strong>Manuelino</strong> style. The Fortress called the <strong>Tower of Bethlehem</strong> built between 1515 and 1519 is beautifully seen from the land or the river. It was made to protect <strong>Lisbon</strong> from invaders but looks so majestic with its white stone mini towers decorating each corner.</p>
<p>And as a special treat, the Park of the Nations where the World Fair was held in 1998. You will need at least a whole to be able to enjoy all the different pavilions, each one expressing a different theme like the ocean life and the future. Another three fourths of the park is dedicated to natural green areas for relaxation. It is recommendable to buy a special pass at the information booth in the Shopping center, which includes many of the extra attractions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Yungas-Road-Death-Road-Bolivia-South-America.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-353" title="Yungas-Road-Death-Road-Bolivia-South-America" src="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Yungas-Road-Death-Road-Bolivia-South-America.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The Road of Death, properly known as the North <strong>Yungas Road</strong>, is the only road connecting several small villages in the <strong>Yungas</strong> region of <strong>Bolivia </strong>to the rest of LaPaz and the outside world. In <strong>Spanish</strong>, the road is known as El Camino de la Muerta (the Road of Death).<span id="more-352"></span></p>
<p>There are actually two treacherous roads in the area: the North <strong>Yungas</strong> Road and a southern Yungas Road. Each are approximately 40 miles long and have been the site of dozens of horrible deaths as those who were a little too daring plunged to their deaths.</p>
<p>The road was originally built in 1930 at the time of the <strong>Chaco</strong> <strong>War</strong>. The road begins by ascending an incredible 5 kilometers (three miles) before falling 300 meters. The road is the width of one car lane and has absolutely no guardrails, making any trek along this road a harrowing experience.</p>
<p>While the number of casualties on the Road of Death is not officially published, it is believed that between two and three hundred people die on it each year. Drivers, hikers, and bicyclists alike have plunged to their deaths as the road twists and turns. If the conditions of the roads weren?t enough, the area is frequently blanketed by rainy conditions and fog, both of which make visibility and safety even more difficult.</p>
<p>As you carefully drive the dirt roads, be cautious of embankments and areas where the road has begun to crumble away. The one lane road is the site of many arguments, as vehicles going in opposite directions will meet and battle over who will reverse or, frighteningly, try to pass the other vehicle on the outside edge of the road.</p>
<p>one year alone over 25 vehicles flew off the side of the cliff ? an average of one car every other week. Bus crashes have killed hundreds of people and bikers who aren?t careful have been known to hit rocks and flip off of their bikes. Those who don?t fall over the edge need to worry about cars that can?t see them coming around the curves.</p>
<p>Despite the dangers associated with the road, the search for an adrenaline rush has made the Road of Death a popular tourist attraction, especially over the past 15 years. <strong>Mountain bikers</strong>, particularly, seem to enjoy the idea of starting at the top and biking the entire path downhill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Virgin-Islands-National-Park.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-348" title="Virgin-Islands-National-Park" src="http://www.thetraveltour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Virgin-Islands-National-Park.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>St. John Island</strong>’s <strong>St. john beaches</strong> are very famous all across the world. It is announced as one of the best <strong>Caribbean beach</strong>, the st. john beaches, in the world by the <strong>National Geographic</strong>, <strong>Caribbean Travel</strong> and Life. What makes it the best?<span id="more-347"></span></p>
<h3>Location</h3>
<p>St. John Island is a part of the <strong>US Virgin Islands</strong>, is to be considered as most favorable, most adorable and gorgeous place in the entire world. Though the weather is tropical, trade winds make it moderate. Thus, making it an American Paradise.</p>
<h3>St. John Sand</h3>
<p>Sand makes beach. It’s the most integral part of the beach, for instance, <strong>Florida</strong> Keys islands import sands to attract beach lovers. On the <strong>St. John beaches</strong>, the sand is smooth, silky, and powdery. You will enjoy lying or walking over it.</p>
<h3>Sand of St. John</h3>
<p>Sand is an integral part of any beach. The sand that carpets the St. john beaches, <strong>Virgin Islands</strong> is especially soft, powdery, and sensual. It gets sand from the Coral Reef which is better-quality relatively to terrestrial sand coming from the eroding rocks.</p>
<h3>Water</h3>
<p>The water is very pristine, warm, and translucent that you can see the bottom without any difficulty. The temperature of the water does not drop, even in winter. As the water, is wave-free, tides-free and no river exists here, it makes it great for  swimming and frolicking. Thus, water being so clean and clear, makes the setting of the sea, and surrounding more appealing as well as treat to the eyes. The ocean water displays different shades of blue, for instance, near the shores; water appears turquoise as further the sea gets deep it appears darker blue and little further greenish tints where coral reef dwells with hint of orange and red.</p>
<h3>View</h3>
<p>The <strong>St. john beaches</strong> offers picturesque scenery of the islands that one can take pleasure in watching mountainsides of emerald green color rising in the clear blue sky of <strong>Caribbean</strong> on a less distance, in addition the innumerable bays, smaller cays, and rocks. It’s the most splendorous view which won’t get to see at any other beaches throughout the world.</p>
<h3>More than One or Two</h3>
<p>Over and above all this, St. John possesses, more than two ideal beaches, other than one after one beach, there’s the beaches of Caneel Bay, Jumbie, Salomon, Little Cinnamon Maho, Hawksnest, Gibney, Francis Bay, Trunk, Denis, Little Hawksnest, Cinnamon Bay, Little Maho and Honeymoon, in addition to the gorgeous beaches in the other side of the island, for instance Pond Bay, Ditleff, Salt Lameshur, and Leinster over and above more than twelve “Packed Away down trails” beaches.</p>
<h3>Virgin Islands National Park</h3>
<p>More than half of the island is under protection of national park which is the reason for minimal development on the island. Therefore, it gives you full untouched and unspoiled natural beauty for your holidays.</p>
<h3>Accommodation</h3>
<p>For budgetary travelers, St. john beaches offers very good campsites as well as cottages complex. There are more than 30 bare sites, 55 resilient pre-sets up tents, as well as 40 lined up pastoral cottages that few of them are in front of beach.</p>
<h3>What’s Special</h3>
<p>Cottages at Cinnamon Bay and few distances away from the restricted sand area of the National Park, on the Cinnamon Bay Beach there are more accommodation facility. This place is a paradise for the campers looking for beach as well as place to dwell with good affordable rates. Cottages on the St. john beaches have electricity as well as has access path to the campsite’s solitary lavatories with facility of bathrooms showers. A restaurant named Tree Lizard Restaurant is a good place to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. The States citizens do not need passport to come on this island. Just bring mosquitos’ repellant cream and hire a vehicle to travel around the island and to purchase groceries items.</p>
