The post Travel Tips for Barcelona appeared first on Footloose. When you travel around the world, every now and then you’ll visit places that leave you completely breathless, with no desire whatsoever to ever leave again. Strangely enough, to me this happened to a city just a one hour flight away from home: Barcelona. Barcelona will always be linked to Gaudi, one of the great masters of architecture. While mostly known for his colorful draco at the entrance of Parc Guell and for his obvious masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, few people realize his immense impact on the whole city. From the tiles on Passeig de Gracia to the lanterns on Placa Real, the Finca Guell and Palau Guell, Casa Mila (better known as la Pedrera) and Casa Batllo, one says you can see some of his work from every single spot in Barcelona. But there is more, so much more. Whether it is the nightlife you’re after, the shopping, the beach, the architecture, museums or a simple stroll, Catalunia’s capital has got it all. To top it all off, there is the sangria and an immense variety of tapas in the small cafes and bistros all over town. It is impossible to list all the things there are to see and do in Barcelona, and that’s not what this site is for. Instead, I’ll give my personal highlights of the city, and hopefully that’ll be helpful for anybody who plans on going there. Gaudi. As mentioned earlier, it is virtually impossible to overlook Gaudi’s influence on the city. A trip to Barcelona would not be complete without visiting at least the Parc Guell with the draco and the famous curbed mosaic benches, and his undisputed (yet still unfinished) masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia. His tragic death (the people of Barcelona left him on the streets after he was hit by a tram, not knowing it was Gaudi. He later refused to be transferred to a better hospital as he felt his place was amongst the poor) quite possibly made him even more legendary. Tibida. The highest point of Barcelona with amazing views over the cities. You can hike up the hill or take the pleasant little train-ride. On top, you’ll find the unique church and a rather outdated amusement park. Montjuic. This hill on the other side of Barcelona is famous for its telecommunications tower, built especially for the Olympics in 1992. It also houses the majestic Olympic stadium, where now Espanyol Barcelona plays its home games. Camp Nou. Stadium of FC Barcelona, still one of the world’s most renowned football teams (that would be soccer for the American readers). Las Ramblas. Collection of 5 separate streets (6 if you count the Rambla del Mar) that are more commonly known as Las Ramblas. They stretch from the Plaza Catalunya all the way to the statue of Columbus. On the broad pedestrian part in the middle, you’ll find flower stalls, bars, and some of the most talented street artists in the world. This list is by no means complete, but should give you some idea of what this amazing city has to offer.

There are many things seniors should consider when traveling to Las Vegas in order to maximize affordability, and enjoyment. Las Vegas attracts visitors from all over each year due to the many casinos, attractions, and entertainment. There is plenty to do in this city especially for seniors. Here are a few tips to keep in mind before you go on your trip. 1). Many hotels in Las Vegas cater to senior citizens by offering huge discounts for staying with them. Choice hotels such as the (Quality Inn, Comfort Inns, Clarion Hotels, Sleep Inns, Econo Lodges, and Rodeway Inns), all offer huge savings of 20% to 30% off their standard rates to people over the age of 60. In order to obtain these discounted rates you will need to make your reservations through their toll free number at (877-424-6423). When you make your reservation be sure to let the representative know that you need the senior discounted rate. 2). If you are a member of AARP you can also benefit by getting other discounts on airfare, hotels, and even car rentals. 3). It can also be very beneficial for you to carry travelers insurance. This will allow you to obtain coverage for any medical expenses incurred while traveling. Travel Insurance also covers the costs in case of cancelled flights, lost luggage, or if you lost your wallet or purse. You can buy travel insurance at: www.affordablemedicaldental.com 4). Be safe. It’s never a good idea to travel alone, or late at night. Be sure to always travel with your spouse, friend or family member. 5). Be prepared ahead of time. Make sure you have maps, brochures, identification and all other essential items with you. 6). It is also helpful to keep your medications with you in your purse or bag just in case your luggage goes missing. 7). Seniors need to be especially careful to avoid deep vein thrombosis (DVT) when flying. Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis. You can avoid this by stretching your legs and feet, getting up to move around on the plane rather than sitting the entire time, and drinking plenty of purified water. 8). Don’t carry large amounts of cash. Instead travel with travelers checks, or use a debit card with your money secured in a bank that protects you from theft. Bank of America offers guaranteed theft protection to keep your money safe. 9). Always carry your purse tightly under your arm rather than just dangling it by your side to avoid becoming a victim of robbery. 10). Take your time. It’s never a good idea to over book your flight and make too many connections. The best option is a straight shot flight or flights that only require one connection at the most. Allow plenty of time to check your bags at the air port and find your terminal. Enjoy your trip!

Belitung is part of Bangka Belitung, one of Indonesian’s provinces. It is a small island located north-west from Java Island, near Sumatra Island. This place isn’t a big city. It is still a bit of a traditional city. But this place has so many interesting and beautiful places to be visited. Even so, not many people know much about this place yet. Most people who heard about Indonesia will likely only know about Jakarta, Java and Bali. In Belitung, you still can find many green mountains, refreshing forests and many beautiful beaches. The best part of it is that you’ll have fresh air to breathe, not like in the big city where you can only find polluted air to breathe. There are still not many cars in there. But the motorcycle is many. If you are worried about the vehicle to travel with, don’t be. You can rent cars in many places. Some people will also take you to anywhere you like with their car with a low fee. So you don’t have to be worried about it. Here are some beautiful and interesting places you should visit if you decided to go there.
Those are some beautiful and interesting places to be visited in Belitung. However, that’s not all. That’s only a few of them. They’re great aren’t they? The only bad thing about visiting Belitung is that it doesn’t have a five-star hotel for people who like luxuries. But it’s not a big problem isn’t it. Then why don’t you try to visit this place? Belitung doesn’t have a five star hotel for people who like luxuries. But it’s not a big problem isn’t it. Then why don’t try to visit this place?

Great Things to See and Do When Visiting Homer, Alaska I had the chance to recently visit the great town of Homer, located at the tip of the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Homer has a lot to offer the visitor with a wide array of things to see and do. Homer primarily sprung up as a fishing village and continues to be one of the premier halibut fishing areas in the entire world. It is also world famous because of the “Homer Spit”, a 4.5 mile skinny stretch of land that extends straight off of the peninsula and separates the Kachemak Bay and the Gulf of Alaska. Homer offers breathtaking views of the surrounding volcanic mountains and bays and is truly one of the most picturesque spots I have ever seen. But here are a few things I was able to do while visiting that I would highly recommend to anyone who visits. Do a “flightseeing” tour – We were able to rent a little Cessna plane that only sat 3 (me, my wife, and our pilot) and go out over the Kachemack Bay and the Harding Ice Field which contains many glaciers directly across from the Homer Spit. It truly was amazing getting a bird’s eye view of the bay, mountains, glaciers, and we were even able to spot some wildlife along the way. It wasn’t cheap, but well worth it. Islands & Oceans Exhibit – This is a great new exhibit that focuses on the habitat of the oceans and islands of Alaska. The exhibit hall does a great job of showing the history of Alaska as well as the history of the wildlife and the different problems they have had with endangered species and how they are working to bring many back to a healthy population. It is very well done as we were pleasantly surprised given it is in such a remote area. But don’t go thinking you are going to spend the whole day there. Between the short film and walking around looking at the exhibits, plan on 1-2 hours. Admission is free. Drive Homer Spit – You can’t go to Homer and not go out on the spit. It is quite an experience driving out on such a small strip of land with ocean on both sides of you and surrounded by huge mountains. There are a ton a great little touristy shops selling all kinds of fun stuff. Keep you eyes out for bald eagles as they are abundant out of the spit and don’t forget to stop in the “Salty Dawg Saloon” and famous landmark that believe it or not, truly is full of a bunch of old “salty dawgs” (at least it was when I went in). Overall, Homer truly is a great little town and I would recommend visiting to anyone who is able to make it to that part of the world.

When people think Florida, they conjure up images of beaches, dolphins, and theme parks. Florida has far more to offer than the typical. Regional events offer up cultural fare and traditional tastes. The southwest city of Venice will once again be the home of Florida’s Annual Italian Festival in February. The Italian American Club of Venice offers a chance for the city to true to it’s’ heritage, and share the contributions of the Italian-American community. The Italian American club meets throughout the year, and promotes the language, food, and traditions to both the community and visitors. Festival and carnival activities all take place under shady palms, with a beautiful view of Waterway Park. The 21st Venice Italian American Festival will begin February 19. The four-day event charges a $3 parking fee, but no admission charge to enjoy the shows and exhibits. Ride and game tickets prices vary. A special all day ride pass is available the opening day of the festival for $10, and on Saturday and Sunday for $14. The food is definitely “the thing” during the Venice Italian Festival. While typical carnival food is available, the tantalizing smells of Italian cooking float through the air, enticing visitors to near gluttony. Some of the menu favorites include Faggioli, sausage and pepper, meatballs, Stromboli, Melanzana, calzones, Dematasi, Ravioli, and of course, spaghetti. A Budweiser portable and air-conditioned bar on-site is a very popular venue at the Italian Festival. Visitors of all ages also enjoy posing with the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses, which also appear at the festival. An Italian heritage booth is open throughout the festival, sharing the history of the Italian-American community in Venice, Florida. Traditional Italian music and dancer performances draw large crowds to the annual event. Performers slated to appear at the Venice, Florida Italian Festival include Perfect Chords Oldies, Bandana, Two of a Kind, Tarantella Folk Dancers, Up-Town Express, and Sophisticated Swing. The Venice, Florida Italian Festival offers ample seating in shaded tents, and dozens of food booths to serve the large crowds. A Venetian gondola, sitting against a water themed backdrop offers a free photo opportunity for visitors. The Florida MOTE Aquarium also hosts a free booth with interactive exhibits for children to enjoy. The Venice Italian-American club works year around promoting Italian food and customs. Weekly spaghetti dinners hosted by the club assist in providing funds for the annual festival, and are open to the public. Each year funds generated from fundraisers support the group’s scholarship fund. A graduating senior from Venice High School is awarded the scholarship to be used at the college of their choice.

Preliminary Questions There are all kinds of ways to learn about the countries of the world. If you want to find out more about Africa you can read about it in an encyclopedia, log on to an official (or unofficial) website, or even have a conversation with a native of the continent. These are all well and good, but nothing beats actually treading the soil of a foreign country and experiencing all the sights, sounds, and smells. If Africa is a place you have always been fascinated with, I would highly recommend Uganda as your country of destination. There are other countries worthy of visitation on this grand continent, but it was Winston Churchill who dubbed Uganda the ‘pearl of the Nile’ (a saying later changed to the ‘pearl of Africa’). I have also traveled to this great country and can testify to Sir Churchill’s adage. This will be the first of several articles about traveling to Uganda. Listed below will be some preliminary questions to ask before undertaking this sort of trip. Where is Uganda? It is always a good idea to find out where your destination is before making plans. Uganda sits on the equator and is bordered by Sudan in the North, Kenya in the East, Tanzania in the South, Rwanda in the Southwest and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the West. Is it politically stable? Yes, Uganda is a stable country and has been since the 1980s. The government is a democratically elected Parliament that has taken advantage of its stability to draw visitors to the country. The effects of the Idi Amin regime are all but gone. Uganda used to have trouble with war lords “recruiting” (kidnapping) children from the northern part of the country to use as soldiers and taking them to Sudan. (Fans of the Fox TV show “24” will have insight into this.) However, the government drove these factions back in the 1990s and the northern borders of Uganda are secure from any influence there. The southern part of the country near Lake Victoria (where Entebbe and Kampala are located) has not seen any problems for many, many years. Rwanda, believe it or not, is also very stable, recovering quite well from all of the turmoil suffered in the mid-90s. A Peace Corp volunteer told me the process was quickened by all of the foreign aid that poured into the country, thanks obviously to its proper distribution. Do I need to receive vaccinations? These are more often recommended than required. Generally you will be advised to get shots for yellow fever, hepatitis (A & B), typhoid fever, and even rabies. You will want to be up to date on MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) and tetnus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention even recommends being updated on polio. It is easy to drop big time money on these vaccinations and many of the diseases posted by the CDC can be prevented through thorough hygiene and knowing what you are eating. Personally, I was administered shots for yellow fever and hepatitis A and took pills (before the trip) for typhoid. I was not worried about rabies or polio. Malaria is still a legitimate concern in Uganda, so malaria medicine is probably the most important item to have after your passport and money. Weekly or daily pills can be obtained via prescription from any pharmacy. I took the daily variety called Malarone and did not experience any complications. Other items to take would be strong insect repellent, anti-bacterial gels, sunscreen, and long-sleeve shirts. What airline should I fly? That’s a great question because you don’t want to be stuck on a cramped single-engine Cessna with a pilot who only goes by “Doug.” If traveling from the United States, you will likely fly through Europe. British Airways and KLM (Dutch) are two of the primary international airlines that fly to Africa, although feel free to research others. Many travelers to Uganda have to stop in Nairobi, Kenya before continuing on. Kenyan Airlines is a good option there. There may also be direct flights from Europe to Entebbe. It’s a long journey as it is, so if you can limit the number of flights, do so. I flew KLM and I thought they were terrific. The staff is very professional and friendly, the food (even in coach) is decent, and you have many movie and game options available on the TV screen embedded in the seat back in front of you. Don’t worry, everyone speaks English and the Amsterdam airport is phenomenal. What other recommendations or concerns should I know? For US travelers, communication should not be an issue because English is the second language learned by Ugandans (after their native Luganda). All of the signage throughout the country is in English whether it is travel information or roadside advertisements. Secondly, I would urge not living the life of the tourist. By that I mean spending all nights in a hotel and eating only in top restaurants. There are numerous volunteer organizations in Uganda that you can hook up with and participate in the work (World Vision, World Health Organization, etc.). By doing this you will be making a difference in people’s lives and you will experience the real Uganda and not the touristy Uganda by interacting with the natives and developing relationships. There will be plenty of time to see the tourist attractions, so why not help out at the same time?

Lake Titicaca is an experience not to be missed while traveling in Peru. Sitting high in the altiplano joining Peru and Bolivia, it is the legendary birthplace of the Incan empire, and its beauty does not disappoint. While the most convenient place to take in all that Lake Titicaca has to offer is the city of Puno, the real magic is to be had taking a boat trip out to the islands of the lake. At the end of the dock in Puno one can find the offices of a few different boat transport companies that offer various deals on getting to the islands. While it is possible to take a day trip to island hop, to really get a feel for the different cultures of the islands it is better to take a two day trip and spend the night with a host family on one of the islands. The most frequently visited and convenient of the islands are the floating of islands of Uros, only a half-hour boat ride away from Puno, and famous for the fact that they are built entirely on and with the totora reed that grows in the lake. The islands are populated by the Uros people who live in houses made of totora and travel by canoes made of totora. While it is worth the quick trip to feel how your feet squish as you walk, the section of the islands that tourists can visit has a bit of a Disney feel, allowing one only to access sections of the island that are filled with tourist shops. This however allows the Uros people to continue on with their lives without having tourism completely wipe out their traditions. A three hour boat ride away lies the island of Amantaní, on which the Quechua people live. The island receives only a few tourists every day, and host families are available to receive guests who would like to spend the night. Like most others, is very dry and sculpted by stone terraces that serve simultaneously as walls and walkways that crisscross and wind along the island. Most houses are made of adobe and do not rely on electricity. The lack of cars and electric buzz is a refreshing welcome that is joined by incredible views of the turquoise Lake Titicaca. The island is formed by two hills, Pacha Mama and Pacha Tata, both with ceremonial sites on top. While tourists can hike to the sites, people are only allowed inside the temples once a year, during the traditional festival in which the island’s population splits in two, each half migrating to their corresponding hilltop. A 45 minute boat ride away is the island of Taquile, populated by the Aymara people. This island receives more tourists and has some restaurants, shops, and a few hostals. A nice activity is to walk from the dock uphill to the center of town (a 45 minute walk) where there is a plaza and a weaving cooperative as well as some restaurants, then walk down the 500 steps to the dock on the other side of the island. The views are astounding and it is interesting to observe the different customs of the Aymara inhabitants. Visiting the islands of Lake Titicaca is an unforgettable experience. If you have already gotten to Peru, go the extra mile (or few) to take in the astounding beauty of Lake Titicaca’s shining waters and the unique age-old traditions of its people.

For Beaches and Golf, Bermuda’s the Place to Be There has always been a lot of mystery surrounding the country of Bermuda and it’s tourism appeal. Maybe it’s because the Bermuda triangle has reportedly sucked down planes and ships in a mysterious twist. Maybe it’s because folks are enjoying the islands in the areas surrounding Bermuda. Maybe it’s because folks just haven’t discovered the booming tourist destination that sits in Bermuda, though. Despite all of the mystery surrounding this infamous island, it’s actually a great place to take a family on vacation. Besides its unexplainable triangle, Bermuda is known for a few things that could make a tourist very happy. The beaches have a gorgeous brand of sand that many people feel to be almost a pink color. The water coming into these beaches is an impossible brand of blue. It’s the color of blue that most people think would only exist in a movie. If you’re a love of golf, then there are lush courses to be played all throughout the island. With all of these things to offer, why are more people not flocking to Bermuda? The island of Bermuda isn’t devoid of culture, either. They have a strong French influence in their quaint Caribbean culture. You’ll know you’re on an island when visiting Bermuda, as the Caribbean feel seems to be carried in the salty air. To truly experience Bermuda, travelers must head to one of the beautiful beaches. On the north part of the island, Clearwater Beach is clearly the place to be. This island is a long, secluded patch of sand that is adjacent to a part of ocean with spectacular swimming. Whether you’re a family man or a triathlete, you’ll find these waters to be fit for swimming. In addition, there are a couple of restaurants to visit while on this beach. Elbow beach is the place to go if you want to go body surfing. The waves here are good, but they’re not so big that people are intimidated. This is the perfect beach for water sports and the numerous folks who flock there are a testament to this fact. If you’re a high roller in Bermuda, the Coral Beach Club sits near this beach and serves only the most exclusive of people. If golf’s your game, then this island is a great place to play. Belmont Hills is only four years old and this gorgeous golf course is a perfect place to experience great golf with a touch of the islands. It’s a par-70 course that features some of the island’s most astonishing vantage points. Whether it’s golf or the ocean you’re interested in, Bermuda is a great place to visit. The place has a strong island feel to it and most everyone who travels there isn’t disappointed.
