Beginning Your RV Camping Experience

Posted on by

Camping can be a wonderful get-away from the boring daily routine. It’s a good way to discover many interesting places around our great country. If you are adventurous and love to take off and drive wherever the road takes you, you never know what you will find. If you have decided to buy your first camper or RV, take things slow. Shop around for one that is not too large or expensive. Find out as much as you can about your new purchase. Do some studying to learn how to hook up all the electric running lights and connections on the camper and tow vehicle or the RV. Next take a few trial runs in city driving and highway driving to get the feel for handling your camper.

Take just a few days for your first camping trip. Whether you want to stay at one place or try a different place everyday, make sure that you are familiar with all water and electrical connections at each campsite. There are many campground guidebooks and RV directories. Have a plan as to where you are going beforehand. That could save you a lot of stress later.

Try to get to the campground before dark, so you can clearly see how each space is set up. Also, make note of shower and bathroom and general store locations. Check into the office and find out about all their rules and regulations. Ask them if you can register for one night and then add another night for the next day if you decide to stay. This way you will be able to leave the next morning if this place does not work for you. Even if you will not be able to stay for another day for whatever reason, at least you will know if this place is a good or bad destination for you.

If you are planning to spend a long time at one place and use it as a base from which to visit many attractions in the area, you would be wise to learn everything you can about it. Even if it has a really good discount offer, it may not be worth it if you are having a terrible time there.

No matter what time of year it is, there are always good campgrounds all around the whole country. As we are moving into late fall and winter now, this may be the best time to take a trip. It will cooler up here in the north but warmer as you head south. There will probably be smaller crowds also.

Do your homework first and you can expect to have great time with many happy memories. Proper preparation can make your Rv motoring trips the stuff of dreams or when not properly prepared a travel nightmare.

Finding the Best Family Holiday

Posted on by

As a mum and self proclaimed adventurer, people often ask me what are the best kind of family activity holidays. You may wonder the same thing yourself. When you have very young children, it’s often very tempting to stay at home, as the children are too young to remember the experience and you will be too tired. When you have older children, they tend to be more interested in their games consoles, phones and laptops to make the prospect of sunlight seem appealing. But never fear, the perfect family adventure is out there. Simply follow my advice:

Travel with young children.

Any travel with babies or toddlers is an adventure. Whether you’re playing in the garden, driving them to nursery (the cries of my youngest were epic whenever we turned the corner to the local playgroup) or visiting a friend, you can feel like you’ve been through the stressful Heathrow experience without having to pay for the flight. So why bother travelling at all? Well, it can in fact be very relaxing to take a bit of time out from your usual routine. Honest. Don’t worry about going anywhere too exotic (unless you have family abroad, in which case use them wholeheartedly – they’ll be delighted to see the little one too!) but a trip to the seaside, a cottage in the country or a visit to a local farm can be the perfect getaway from the drudgery of feeding, changing nappies and snatching whatever sleep you can.

Adventurous travel

Children are probably at their most appreciative pre-teen. When you’re ten the world seems like a wonderful place to be explored and it’s your chance to show it to them! The typical destination that invites wide eyed wonder is Disney World but if I were you, I’d consider an African safari as the perfect treat! Almost every child I know loves animals and the majestic creatures of the Lion beat hands down Florida’s park.

Teens travel

Throw away the video games and step away from the TV / computer / mobile phone screen! Teens may take a lot to impress but get it right and you’ll never see that moody face again (at least for the duration of the two week trip!). Do something active or exciting, trek to Everest Base camp if they’re older or go on an African safari in Botswana.

Above all, treat your kids to family activity holidays and they will never forget it!

You will always find things on which to spend money when visiting the destination of your choice anywhere in the world. Therefore this makes it imperative to develop a workable budget for the available funds to ensure that you will have enough to last during the trip and after your return as well.

When looking for cheap flights, you should follow the best practices to find cheap airfare. One of the best things you can do is take the time to compare what the different airlines flying to the destination have to offer in the way of prices. This way, you will be in a position to take advantage of any deals that might be available, thus saving you money in the process. This can be accomplished very easily using the internet as most of the airlines and travel agents have sites full of information on all the destinations to which they fly.

As a result of the increasing numbers of airlines in the travel industry which fly to the different world destinations, you will find that competition is very stiff. This has caused upcoming as well as existing airlines to offer attractive deals to travelers as a way of maintaining a strong Clientele thereby making these airlines greater profits than others.

However, you should choose an airline that has all the services you feel are important to make your flight as comfortable and as interesting as possible besides paying an affordable amount for it.
