Travel Mezze - October 2010

My First Nascar Race was a Blast

October 25th 2010 03:07
Thanks for the guest post by Laura Mitchell

Recently I went to my first Nascar race, and I had such a good time that I wanted to write a bit about it. The Nascar race was in Florida, which is a bit south from where I live. My wife and I were convinced by the couple next door to accompany them in their new RV. It was a really nice RV with more than enough room for all of us. I said that I was a bit unsure about going down in an RV because I didn't want to stand out. My neighbors just chuckled.

The drive was about 6 hours, which was just enough time to read about half of a new book I had recently bought. My wife was drinking coffee, so we had to stop several times along the way so that she could use the restroom. When we finally arrived, I was shocked. There were more RVs in one place than I had ever seen in my life. I talked to some of the other people there, and they said that they live in their RVs and travel to every Nascar event all year. I told them that I would love to do that, but my wife would never allow me to quit my job.


One thing that was annoying was that our neighbors always seemed to be worried about the security of their home. I had set the SecurityChoice home security alarm on my home, so the thought never crossed my mind.

The Beauty of Siquijor Island Part 2

October 25th 2010 03:03
Siquijor is just an hour boat ride from the city of Dumaguete. Once in the island, you can get the services of a local multicab driver and arrange for him to take you around the island. In this way, you will already have a tour guide and a free ride all around.

One of the best tourist attractions in the island is the diver's playground where a magnificent and breathtaking rainbow of marine life exists under the waters of Siquijor's crystal clear waters. Siquijor has been declared in 1978 as a marine reserve. Divers will feast on the presence of colorful existing marine life like the damselfish, lapulapu, parrotfish and the different
colorful fishes that are swimming all around.

The island is known for its white sandy beaches and is known for many travellers because of its vast coral reefs which is great treat for scuba divers and those who love snorkeling. The beaches make up most of the 102-kilometer coastline of this island.

Many families love going on a vacation getaway. Sometimes, instead of going to another city or country where we still have to spend for transportation and accommodation, another alternative is touring our nearby cities and tourist attractions, of course with the help of our car. We then visit our relatives and make a stop-over at a destination for a day or two. Cars or vans are very important modes of transportation for the whole family most especially for daily use and for vacation getaways.

Proper maintenance should be observed in order to make sure that our family service is always in the best condition. Regular oil change is necessary to ensure that the car's engine will be in it's best and proper performance. An oil change will give our car a cleaner engine and will make it running smoothly. For continued use, debris particles and microscopic wear flake off from the different internal parts of our engine and then enter a car's oil. If we change oil regularly, these small particles will be eliminated and is changed with quality and clean motor oil.

A brake job is very much necessary to ensure our family's safety. The car brakes have to be checked regularly to ensure that they are working properly. Once our car losses it's brakes, this will endanger the lives of our family.

Even your luxurious Acura TL would need regular check-up and maintenance to be always in the best condition. If you live in Houston, there are many reliable and cheap Houston auto repair shops that can provide you the best
car maintenance services. Many people who lives in Houston loves going around the state and visiting it's many educational and historical tourist spots. A car or van that is in it's best condition will be of great help to them.

It is also important that we maintain the cleanliness of our car. When the time comes that we would decide to sell it or trade it, a car with a
good appearance usually gets higher value and is usually sold first in the market.

These days more and more people are choosing to spend their holidays in the UK, and this leads a lot of people to really struggle with where they go. There are many delightful holiday spots in the UK, and it can be a difficult choice to make. One area which is always considered to be a good choice of holiday destination is the Lake District. This is a very traditional holiday location in the UK, and people have been spending their holidays here for years and years. It is a great spot for anyone who revels in the great outdoors. With some of the most beautiful and exciting walks in the whole of the land, not to mention some of the most challenging.

The lakes are of course appealing to many for the numerous great lakes which you can visit in the area. Windermere is probably the most famous of all the lakes, but it is by no means the only large lake to visit in the district. As well as all of these wonderful natural beauty sites to visit, the Lakes is also a wonderful place to visit if you have a passion for English food. There are some delightful tea rooms dotted about the area, and there are also some spectacular restaurants serving really wonderful food. Accommodation in the region is normally pretty reasonably priced, and you will find plenty of lake district Cottages to choose from whatever the number in your party

Whenever we mention the place Siquijor, images of magical creatures, quack doctors, witches and other similar beings come to our mind. Many people still believe that in this place, reside many people from these group as well as other supernatural beings. This is the reason why many people are afraid to go to Siquijor. They fear that when they visit the island, something bad will happen to them. Blame it to the old tales and stories of the people who have told ghosts, supernatural and stories of this nature.

Getting About in Florida

October 4th 2010 11:06
A lot of people travel to Florida by plane, and it is not difficult to see why. Florida is of course home to Disney World, and this attraction draws literally millions of people every year through its gates. The thing is, a lot of people who go to Florida miss out on all of the other fantastic things you can see. The Florida Keys are beautiful, and something that you really shouldn't miss if you have the chance to be in the area.

One way to make sure that you don't miss anything in the Florida area is by hiring a car. Most people would assume that the best way to do this is to simply find a car hire company in the airport upon arrival, pay your money and jump into the car and drive away. This is fine, as long as you don't mind accepting that you are going to lose money for no reason
