This tidbit is 4 travel alert for Mexico. Yep that’s right. Just before spring break! The US is renewing the travel alert for Mexico. This week, the State Department renewed its travel advisoryfor Mexico, singling out the states of Michoacan, Coahuila, Durango and Chihuahua, along the United States-Mexico border, as especially dangerous for United States travelers. .
That said, crime overall in Mexico is down from its late 1990s highs. But the perception of drug-related violence, combined with leftover fears of the H1N1 virus, has taken its toll on Mexico’s reputation as a safe travel destination. Tourism dropped 20 percent in 2009 from the previous year.
For more detailed information on staying safe in Mexico, please see the following
To read the complete alert you can go to,
Please if you have travel plans for spring break, stay extra safe, careful and have great adventure

This tidbit is 4 travel to southern AFRICA
My travel companion and I made our first foray into the Drakensburg mountain ranges of Lesotho. 
We started our tour in the capital city of Maseru and went all the way around the country returning to Maseru 5 days later. We had done part of the tour (to Pitseng) the weekend before to visit friends so did not include that section of the country in the tour. We managed to do a guided tour of the Katse Dam, Liphofung Cultural and Historical site, and the Masitise Cave House. The rest of the trip was done at our own pace and with a little help from the locals, managed to stay pretty well on track. We had some good maps, a list of accommodations, and a list of places of interest that were excellent sources of information.
Travel in the mountains is best done in a 4wheel drive and one that is well up off the ground. We actually made the trip in a Toyota corolla and although we ran into some tight spots we were able to travel most of the roads. 
The scenery is fabulous and my travel companion speaks the local language of Sesotho and many of the locals also spoke English so we learned a lot of local facts and history. The Orange River originates in the Drakensburg Mountain Range and in known in Lesotho as the Senqu River and enters the Atlantic Ocean 2200 km. away at Alexander Bay. The Maletsunyane Falls along the way is the largest free falling waterfall anywhere in Southern Africa at 204 m. as well as being a Guinness record holder for the highest commercial abseil in the world.
The country is well known for the large diamonds discovered in the mines. The Lesotho Promise was 603 karats of white diamond and the Lesotho Brown at 601 karats is the second largest discovered in the same mine previously.
Mountain life is very simplistic as most residents live in rondavels and do not have electricity. They have a stone enclosure built onto the rondavel to accommodate the livestock at night. Farming is done on tiered fields up the sides of the mountains and any available flat land, especially near the river. Plowing and seeding are done by hand with the use of oxen, horses or donkeys and hand held plows.
I want to thank my friend Rose for the wonderful post and pictures. I hope to travel there someday
Have a wonderful adventure

This tidbit is 4 Travel Immunizations. Regardless of destination there are some shots every adult should have. While most people have these by school entry, some need boosters.
This is a 10-year shot unless there has been a dirty injury or surgery where the injection was given. The shot prevents lockjaw. Diphtheria is given along with it. Noteworthy is the local reaction to this shot that can be extreme redness and swelling. This shot may be part of preventative care with much insurance so go where the insurance is accepted rather than private travel clinics.
Millions of Americans are estimated to be infected with this hepatitis infection that attacks the liver and causes cirrhosis, liver cancer and death. Infants and school age children are required to be vaccinated. Due to the infectious nature of this virus, adults who travel are recommended to be vaccinated if they have not done so. A series of three shots are given and considered to offer life long protection.
This vaccine is also given to infants but most adults have not received it. It is recommended for travelers to rural areas or where sanitation is not sophisticated. Feces in contaminated water used to drink or cook food spread hepatitis A. While considered not as dangerous a virus as hep B it can be fatal for up to three out of every 1000 people exposed. Usually this vaccine is requested by the traveler and paid for although some insurance may pick up the tab.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection acquired in unclean conditions. The immunization is a shot or capsule and directions must be followed for efficacy that is estimated to be about 50% and last for up to seven years. This is usually not covered by insurance.
At this time there is no available vaccine for malaria, but there are pills to take prophylactic ally. No one drug is entirely protective against the disease. Protection is recommended against mosquito bites. Yellow fever too is a mosquito passed infection. There is a vaccine. Some countries require the meningococcal vaccine.
Some injections are considered part of preventative care, such as a tetanus booster. If insurance covers preventative care, it may cover the shot. Go where insurance is accepted and filed. Most travel clinics are private and may not file but the advantage is they carry every needed injection for travel. Certain health departments will provide vaccinations upon request at lowest cost. Many retail clinics and urgent care walk in clinics don’t require appointments and will file insurance but don’t carry vaccinations for more exotic locations.
Medicare may pay for some shots! Based on need. For example, Medicare will pay for annual influenza vaccines. Many shots are covered if ordered by a health care provider for those at intermediate or high risk for the associated disease, not necessarily through travel exposure but because of renal, cancer, lung, or blood diseases. Medicare pays for one pneumonia-lifetime vaccine. If a second were needed there would have to be a medical order for it. Part B will also cover hepatitis vaccines only with doctor’s order for necessity.
Care with food or water and unknown conditions is as important as vaccines. Vaccines are advised and helpful along with precautionary measures.
Please make sure that you do your research in plenty of time, as some vaccinations may need to be ordered. Also there may be restrictions on how far in advance you can get your shots.

This tidbit is 4 the romance in your life, or if you want to have romance in your life. The romance of travel… Here are ten places where I have bec This tidbit is 4 the romance in your life, or if you want to have romance in your life. The romance of travel… Here are ten places where I have become starry-eyed, beguiled and bewitched by the moment, the place and the person with me. I dare you to visit and not fall in love!
St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Undeveloped, unspoiled and cloaked in emerald green rain forest, the mother island of St. Vincent also boasts an archipelago necklace of pristine tropical islands for the most perfect get-away-from-it-all experience. This is the spot we have chosen to renew our wedding vows after 30 years of marriage.
Treetops Lodge, Kenya
There is something wonderfully powerful, primeval and romantic about staying up all night together in this atmospheric old wooden lodge built on stilts among the trees overlooking a waterhole and watching the nocturnal activities of the animals of the African plains. This is where Elizabeth arrived as a princess and departed as Queen Elizabeth II in 1952.
Heidelburg, Germany
Imagine an ancient castle ruin standing atop a wooded hill overlooking a medieval university town, with the Neckar River meandering through the town, old cobbled streets, quaint taverns, marketplaces and coaching inns dating back centuries…We wandered the streets just soaking up the atmosphere.
Kashmir, India
Once upon a peaceful time in this Shangri-La land, I stayed in blissful peace on a Victorian houseboat on Lake Dal beside a medieval town, with the Himalaya perfectly mirrored in dazzling waters…and I was lost to the magic of Kashmir. One day it will be possible to visit again and I will return with the love of my life.
Taj-Mahal, India
I was so prepared to be disappointed with the Taj…and yet was blown softly away on the river breeze when I first saw it, by moonlight, from a distance. Close up, the love affair deepened. It is, quite simply, the perfect architectural embodiment of love and everyone should write it down now on their Bucket List if it isn’t there already.
Moorea, French Polynesia
A thatched hut built on stilts over the warm waters of a turquoise lagoon, a tiny verandah over the natural aquarium around us, and steps that led us gently into the clear warm waters…heaven on earth…well, heaven on water really I guess – but heaven nonetheless!
Cambridge, UK
OK, so this is a very personal choice…it’s where my romantic fate was sealed, arm-in-arm together on the medieval Magdalene Bridge as the moon’s reflection rippled across the River Cam and the spires of King’s College Chapel were silhouetted in the distance…I placed a ring on the finger of my girlfriend that is still there over thirty years later
Le Château Frontenac
Our very own romantic hot spot: winter or summer, this castle-like hotel occupies an eminence in between The Citadel and Old Quebec in Quebec City and epitomizes the chic grandeur of our most beautiful Canadian city. This was where I took my wife for our first romantic weekend getaway when we arrived in Canada.
Tuscany, Italy
Romance spices the Tuscan air, infuses the Tuscan wines and hangs miasma-like in the early morning mists that often surround the hill-top villages; stay in a castle, a villa or a farmhouse and let the essence of Tuscany seep into your soul! We stayed in the Villa Pitiana, a converted Benedictine Monastery on a hilltop outside Florence with views that went on forever.
Frégate Island, Seychelles
A 20 minute flight from the main island of Mahé, itself an island speck in the Indian Ocean, this tiny island boasts a single luxury lodge, unique flora and fauna and perfect granite coves all to yourself. If you ome starry-eyed, beguiled and bewitched by the moment, the place and the person with me. I dare you to visit and not fall in love!

This tidbit is 4 travel auctions!!! Europe from 99 cents? That was the starting bid on a new auction Web site from Contiki Holidays that went live today.
The tour operator, which specializes in travel for 18- to 35 year-olds, is auctioning off a 14-day European Discovery trip through London, Amsterdam Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Paris, valued at $2,200 a person. Bidding ends Dec. 15. Just two hours after the auction opened, the bidding had jumped to $1,260.
Auctions like these have been gaining popularity as tour operators seek new ways to dispose of unsold inventory amid the recession.
Take Abercrombie & Kent. It held a six-hour online reverse-auction in February in which starting bids were lowered an additional 5 percent every half hour until the discount reached 60 percent or the trip sold out. The sale was so successful it’s hosting a similar sale Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. E.S.T.
Travelers can also bid on vacations at sites like Luxurylink.com and FloridaVacationAuction.com.
This is a very interesting concept I will have to watch and see how good the deals are. Let me know what you think .
Safe and Happy Holiday Travel

This tidbit is 4 you to be able to pack correctly. Follow these steps and you should be able to fly through security. The TSA requirements are as follows: Note that the FAA policy allows one piece of luggage and one personal item (such as a purse or briefcase) per person. All carry-on bags must fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead bin.
I have seen passengers have to throw away full bottles of expensive perfumes, creams, shampoos and such… Liquids in your carry-on baggage
Pack your 3.4 oz. (100ml) containers in a single, clear, one-quart zip-top plastic bag. Empty containers (that could contain liquids) are not allowed; and neither are partially used larger containers. Only one one-quart plastic bag is allowed per passenger, and the contents of the bag must fit comfortably inside. A few examples that are o.k.
The TSA liquid policy applies to gift items as well as toiletries. Ship them ahead of time or put them in your checked baggage. A few examples that you can NOT take through security are:

This Tidbit is just a quick slideshow of the Cliffs of Moher, what a beautiful place to visit!
This tidbit is 4 airline baggage fees. Most airlines now charge for checked bags and are not included in the price quoted when you purchase your tickets. It can be difficult to determine what your actual costs will be without looking thru the fine print on the carriers web site.
There are all kinds of exceptions to these fees, especially for certain classes of frequent flyers and military personnel. These fees are cumulative and are double for round-trip travel. They are subject to change and were accurate to the best of my research.
If you’re a heavy packer, you will want to go with Southwest, even if there’s a cheaper fare on another airline. But if you are a frequent flyier, most major airlines will waive the fees.
Always check with the airline you are flying as I know some reduce the price if you check in online prior to your travel. This also gives you a great way to confirm your seat or to change it if you wish.
Here are the basics for the 1st and second bags, please call your airline to verify what the fees are!
Check my other posts for packing tips, you might be able to reduce the amount of bags you take and also save yourself some $$$$$$$$$$$
Hope this information is helpful

This Tidbit is 4 tips for when you travel. Some of theses tips are for Cruises, but no matter how you are travelling these tips will be helpful.
Making Dining Arrangements on a cruise
Cruise lines understand that strict schedules do not satisfy the desires of all modern cruise passengers. Many cruise lines now include alternatives to the set schedules in the dining room, including open dining room seating, casual buffets, and specialty à la carte restaurants.
However, when you’re sailing on a traditional cruise with assigned dinner seating, your seating selection can set the tone for your entire trip. Which is best? Early dinner seating is generally scheduled between 6 and 6:30 pm, while late seating can begin from 8:15 to 8:45 pm. The best seating depends on you, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences.
Choose early seating if:
Choose late seating if:
Other factors to consider:

This tidbit is 4 Kayak travel search site, I have found that Kayak is really one of the best travel search sites and now they are offering even more information.
Travel comparison site Kayak just opened access to its search data. Best known for aggregating travel deals on roundtrip flights, hotels and rental cars, Kayak is now offering the public a peek under the hood. The company is laying bare its most popular destinations and searches via a new trends page. The site offers users a look at what people are searching for, where they’re searching from and the most searched hotels in the company’s top 50 most popular cities. With the travel industry slowly recovering from what has been a tough two years, this data can go a long way towards reinvigorating businesses.
In addition to the most popular searches and destinations, Kayak is also offering users a look at the Kayak Travel Index. The data from the Index tells users how much the average traveler is willing to spend to visit a particular destination. While economic stability would affect many of these trends, short spikes are often more likely related to peak season rates and seasonal factors. For example, in mid July travelers were willing to pay 25% more for a trip to Seattle, but since then as the weather cools so does the willingness to spend. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Travel Index shows a completely different set of travel spikes.
With information from 404 travel sites including Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz, and information on more than 150,000 hotels, Kayak trends offers a great snapshot into the demographics of a destination’s most frequent visitors.
Says CTO Paul English, “People have conducted hundreds of millions of travel searches on KAYAK in the past year, generating a tremendous amount of data on travel demand trends. We’re happy to make this information available to the travel press and to the general public.”
Happy and safe holiday travel

This tidbit is about St John’s Castle in Limerick Ireland. This is a 13th century castle, There are 800 years of medieval history brought to life in this exhibition. There are excavated pre-Norman houses, fortifications, siege mines and the battlement walks. Found this a very interesting site to visit very different from the castles of royalty. The town of Limerick can be reached very easily from Shannon airport, Ennis, and is about a 3 hour drive from Dublin
