India is a mysterious land with a rich and vibrant history. Because of its abundance of natural resources and fertile soil, it is perfect for human habitation. It’s been the site of some of the earliest civilizations in the world. In fact, its culture goes back more than 3000 years. Visitors to India can expect to be transported back to a magical time that is vastly different from their regular life.

When you visit India, there will be so much to see that you could take years and still not see it all. At the same time, there are some sites that are simply not to be missed:

The Kashmir Valley is a must-see. This part of India is so lovely that Mughal emperors would come here in the final days before their deaths. It has been described as “heaven on earth.”

As beautiful as the Kashmir Valley is, really nothing can beat the magnificence of the Himalayas in terms of pure beauty and splendor. Visitors often find themselves speechless at the thick forests in this area, and the serenity of hundreds of lakes that dot the valley.

Over about the past 2 decades, there have been incidences of violence and terrorism in this area. However, these incidents are becoming much less frequent, and it is now once again considered safe for tourists to visit.

In the southernmost part of India the state of Kerala is known as “God’s own country.” It is an area of great natural beauty.

Kerala is heaven for the visitor who is thrilled with green lush surroundings. If you do get to this area, make it a point to have a trip over the backwaters in one of the luxury houseboats of this area. You will be glad you did.  Read more...

International travel for either business as well as pleasure keeps growing and an extraordinary rate, and that growth is expected to continue. One of the most serious problems global travelers face is the possibility of getting sick while in a foreign country. International medical insurance does a lot for protecting travelers against the unexpected.

There are a wide array of insurance choices and finding the one with the best terms buried in the fine print can be risky. Consulting a professional international insurance broker will pair you up with the right policy. Just double check and see what kind of coverage is available through your regular insurance. While most do not offer travel benefits, some do.

The first thing to make sure of is that the policy covers hospitalization, doctor bills in addition to medication. Also, the time the policy needs to be in effect should match the dates that you are going to be abroad. One point to remember is that the premium is based in part on the length of your stay. It will be higher the more time it in effect.

Also, consider emergency evacuation coverage as well, just in case something happens in remote areas where special services may be required to get you to a hospital.

In addition to these things, keep in mind that many companies will not cover pre existing conditions, and there may also be a waiting period for certain benefits to kick in. They also may exclude coverage for travelers planning on engaging in dangerous activities.

Double check that the coverage is active before heading into another country, and make sure that you have the insurance contact information readily available just in case something does go wrong.  Read more...

Do you have a passport? If not have you seen someone else’s? If you have seen a passport then you know that passports are a form of photo identification.

In some ways it is one of the most important forms of ID though. A passport, unlike other forms of ID, is internationally recognized and is used as a travel document when you travel in and out of different countries. The document includes a lot of information to identify you, including your nationality and your identity. It includes your full name, birthday, and country of citizenship.

These days there are plenty of people who try to fake a passport, though. Because of this, passport offices are being stricter these days regarding the pictures you bring. You have to produce forms of identification including drivers license and government ID as well. This way the passport office can compare your photo you bring in with the government issued photo ID you produce.

Your passport photo should be high quality. It must represent you accurately. You also don’t want there to be any defects or problems with the photo, as these can cause delay in your passport.

Here are the necessary properties for a picture to be used in a passport: it must be 2 inches by 2 inches. It must be a color photo, printed on thin photo stock or photo paper. It should be a clear print with continuous-tone quality. There should be no editing, retouching, or enhancing of any kind.

But wait, it gets even trickier. Within the 2 inch by 2 inch photo, you have to ensure that your full head is presented, that your head is centered in the frame, and that the eye height is within 1 1/8 inches and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom margin. Additionally, the photo should have a plain white or off white background. You want to have a natural expression on your face as well.  Read more...

If you are visiting Nashville, there are a ton of great places to visit. I attended school in Nashville for four years and was very reluctant to leave the city. I fell in love with Nashville and its Southern charm.

The list of reasons to visit Nashville is extensive, but the following are some of the best reasons to make a trip to Music City.

The best brunch I’ve ever had is at Loveless Motel and Caf. It is about a 25 minute drive outside of the city and is in the middle of an incredibly rural area. Martha Stewart called it the “best breakfast in America”. I would have to agree.

A quick note about the biscuits at the biscuits at Loveless. They are on another level. The preserves they serve with these biscuits are homemade and delicious as well.

If pancakes are your thing, then Pancake Pantry is another great breakfast option. The sweet potato pancakes are incredible, as is everything else on the menu. The place is well known for long waits, so bring a newspaper to help the time pass. It is worth the wait.

Downtown Nashville is unlike any other city. The bright lights, country music, karaoke music help create a unique atmosphere. If you find yourself in downtown Nashville, be sure to visit Printer’s Alley, an off the beaten path alley with great bars. The Hard Rock Caf is also located downtown and is situated right along the Cumberland River.

Nashville may be best known for the Grand Ole Opry. The unofficial home of country music, the Grand Ole Opry is a legendary venue that every country great has visited. If you are in town and love (or hate) country music, it should be at the top of your to-do list.  Read more...

One thing that is common with many publishers of these travel guides is that they have an affinity to emphasize on the features and benefits of select destinations while they down play other newbie resorts.

You will never at any time exhaust all the possible tourist zones available in Italy. They are one too many for you to cover all in one vacation.

You should go the extra mile and get a list of potential visiting spots in Italy. Consult anyone you may want to travel with if you are not alone and together analyze the deals available, carefully comparing them with the benefits.

A mountain vacation just would not be the same if you did not stay in one of the many cabins for your duration. These cabins really add to the experience of your stay in the mountains with their rustic charm.

People may think that these cabins look a bit old and not very comfortable but they would be very wrong indeed. Once you set foot inside these cabins you will be taken aback at all the modern amenities that these cabins offer.

You could be a loving couple trying to find somewhere romantic for the weekend or a family going on vacation. These cabins are a much better choice than the hotels or motels that you can normally find on these vacations. With cabin sizes ranging from the solitary bedroom to around ten bedrooms there is something here for everybody.

You may think that the hotels can offer you many more luxury features than these mountain cabins but you would be totally wrong as many of the cabins have hot tubs and Cable TV along with many other amenities.

One big advantage that the cabins have over the hotels is the fact that as you are already on the mountains you can wake up to such marvelous scenery every day.

The cabins may differ from location to location. Obviously if your cabin is located somewhere cold then you would expect the cabin to have plenty of heating appliances. On the other hand if your cabin is located somewhere hot you can expect to find a lovely swimming pool for you and your fellow guests to enjoy.

Unlike staying in the hotels the cabins offer you more privacy. But that being said they are still close to either the ski slopes or the hiking trails or whatever other activities are around the area.  Read more...

If you are interested in learning about how humans lived in early civilization, a stop at the Banpo Museum on your Xian Tour should be on your itinerary. Banpo is an archaeological site first discovered in 1953 east of Xian in the Yellow River valley during construction of a power plant. It holds the remains of several Neolithic or New Stone Age settlements dating from approximately 4500 BC. Evolution from a hunter gatherer to a farming way of life is what defines the start of the Neolithic or New Stone Age. The Banpo settlements are associated with the Yanshao culture and are considered to be part of the Banpo phase from 5000 BC to 4000 BC of the Yangshao Neolithic culture. The Banpo Museum is located at the base of the excavation site of the Banpo Village. This museum is the first museum built on the actual site of a prehistoric archeological find in China.

The excavation of this site took four years. This is the largest site of the 400 villages found in the Yellow River Valley. As clans had developed by then, inhabitants lived in clan populated villages. This culture is known for its painted pottery

The village has a living section of dwellings, a pottery manufacturing section and a community cemetery. Construction methods revealed characteristics of traditional Chinese wall-construction methods. The graves revealed they lived until they were about thirty years old. Their pottery kilns used both fine-grained and coarse clay to produce their distinctive painted pottery they are known for.  Read more...

In case you didn’t know, New York has some pretty good pizza.

Some would say the best. Most would say the best. Ok, fine, its no question, New York City has the best pizza in the world.

While several of these establishments have been around for over 80 years, some newcomers have taken the influence of old and created a pizza that tastes like it should have been around for a long time. And that’s a good thing.

When it comes to Neapolitan pies there are two winners. Motorino and Keste. Both of these restaurants serve up authentic style pies from Naples with a doughy crust and an emphasis on fresh ingredients. The mozzarella is imported and the basil could not taste fresher. Una Pizza Napoletana would be the winner had it not gone out of business.

When it comes to pizza parlors that have been around forever, Lombardi’s takes the crown. Located just North of Little Italy, Lombardi’s serves up pizzas by the by (sorry, no slices to go here) in their famous coal oven. Lombardi’s is well known to be the oldest pizzeria in all of New York City.

There are several arguments about the best slice in the city. A lot of people like Joe’s in the West Village, but I prefer Bleecker Street Pizza. It’s a clean, simple slice that is on the crispier side. No wonder the food network awarded this as the best slice in all of New York City.

If you are serious about your pizza, then a visit to Brooklyn is a must. With establishments such as Grimaldi’s and Lucali, you would be missing out on serious pizza culture if you have not visited Brookyln.  Read more...
