Riding Under The Summer Sun
06 days
This coming summer will be no ordinary holiday for me, as I intend to experience the ever-popular mountain biking holidays for the first time that many active people enjoy! Mountain biking is best practised during the summer months when the surfaces are dry, no elements are against you and you are less at risk of having an accident. For me the winter periods are best enjoyed with friends or family skiing in the Alps or taking a short spa break away.
Mountain biking holidays are great for people looking for active entertainment with the option of working on your tan at a nearby beach. Some of the most popular places include Chamonix in France, Lake Garda in Italy, the Coast of Andalusia in Southern Spain and even taking a desert ride in Morocco. Many prefer to go trekking to keep active and fit, however, those keen on mountain bike trails will feel the thrill of experiencing a different trail whilst enjoying a different kind of sightseeing.

Scuba diving is a beautiful sport that allows its fans to feel better on both physical and psychological levels. Some of the most adored attractions offered by swimming under the waters are the visits around wrecks. Wreck diving fills the person who practice it with a pleasant sentiment, a combination between curiosity and surprise. Shipwrecks succeed in transporting the divers in time and allow them to feel they touch a part of history. For some divers there is nothing more interesting than swimming around a new shipwreck filled with history. The beauty of the shipwrecks has no limits to them so they constantly choose to practice this type of scuba diving.
The world has plenty of beautiful places where divers can swim around the most extraordinary wrecks but there are some that are more famous due to wreck diving. Palau is one of the worlds’ diving destinations that offer to its divers the most interesting wrecks from the period of the World War II. Because the Japanese occupied the area during the war and the U.S. forces attacked them, we can nowadays discover under the waters of Palau plenty of exciting wrecks. Some of the most popular in Palau are the wreck known as Iro Maru and the destroyer USS Perry that sank in 1944 and was not discovered until the year of 2000.
Australia is very well-known in the divers’ world especially due to the Great Barrier Reef. However, this is not the only beautiful thing that Australia has to offer when it comes to scuba diving. Many divers choose this destination for its wreck diving as its waters shelter old ship wrecks. SS Yongala was a passenger ship that sank because of a cyclone and was discovered by people in 1958. Since then, the extraordinary ship that is used as a home for many sea creatures gets more and more visitors every day. HMAS Brisbane, another famous wreck of the Great Barrier Reef, was used in both the Vietnam War and the first Gulf War and it can now be visited by scuba diving in Queensland’s waters.
Another awesome destination for wreck diving is Cozumel, better known for its drift diving. Felipe Xicotencatl, also known as C-53, is very popular for wreck diving in this area. Since 1999 this ship is a beautiful wreck to be visited by divers, along with other interesting wrecks such as Patzcuaro or Laguna Mandinga. Those who love practicing wreck diving love visiting Aruba too, which is famous for its delightful beaches. The German Antilla, sank at 60 feet, is often visited by those who practice scuba diving in Aruba.
If you are a wreck diving passionate you should also make sure you visit at least once the beautiful shipwrecks of Bahamas’ waters. You will find great dive sites that offer you the exciting mystery of wrecks such as Willaurie or Ray of Hope.

Off The Beaten Path: Winter Activities In Jackson Hole
07 days
The Jackson Hole skiing area is often considered one of the best skiing destinations in the nation. The advanced trails, backcountry thrills and multitude of winter activities make it the perfect place for ski bums and vacationers to hang. Besides the obvious ski trails and mountain resorts, the Jackson Hole skiing area has a lot to offer thrill seekers.
Here are a few options for those ski enthusiasts looking for adventure off the beaten path:
Cross-Country Skiing
The Jackson Hole area offers many groomed and un-groomed trails for all cross-country expert levels. In Jackson Hole, skiing cross-country is more than just a recreational activity, however. It is an amazing opportunity to take in the splendor and beauty of Yellowstone National Park and its surrounding area.
Winter snows bring changes to the landscape and animals migrating or preparing to hibernate are often seen when cross-country skiing in remote areas. Remember, it is healthier for the animals if skiers observe through binoculars or high-powered lenses rather than trying to physically get as close as possible!
Heli-Skiing
Jackson Hole skiing also offers extreme thrill-seekers the opportunity to participate in a relatively new form of skiing called heli-skiing. Expert skiers or snowboarders can experience an amazing helicopter tour as they are lifted high above the valley floor to the untouched snow-fields of the Rocky Mountains. Skiing this pristine snow is often the highlight of any trip to the area. Heli-ski trips are typically exclusive and include a guide trained to find the best snow on the highest peaks and no more than five or six skiers.
Snowcat Skiing
One of the most unusual activities that Jackson Hole skiing offers is called snowcat skiing. For those groups who seek the thrill of heli-skiing but cannot afford its price tag, snowcat skiing is a great alternative. A snowcat is a tracked, truck-like vehicle that can literally climb snowy mountains. Trips usually take up to ten skiers and can cover up to 20,000 vertical feet in a day! It is the perfect way to push your skiing limits without emptying your pocketbook.
Dog Sledding
For some who visit Jackson Hole, skiing is not the only draw. The thrill of riding behind a pack of sled dogs as they twist and turn their way through snowy mountain trails is enough for even expert skiers to put their skis away for an afternoon! Jackson Hole is home to some of the most experienced sled drivers in the world. Several companies offer one-hour, half-day, full-day and even overnight trips to fantastic overlooks or hot springs pools.
Snowmobiling
For many in Jackson Hole, skiing takes a backseat to the thrill and excitement of snowmobiling through the amazing landscapes the area has to offer. Many companies offer guided tours into spectacular Granite Hot Springs, wildlife tours in the Gros Ventre area and even 2-3 day overnight trips. Floating on fresh powder, forging a trail where nobody has been before – these are the thrills that keep people coming back for more!
Jackson Hole offers even more winter activities like snowshoeing, mountain climbing, telemarking, sleigh rides and wildlife tours. It is truly a destination for everyone – families, retirees, extreme athletes and weekend skiers.

The Magic Kingdom was the first of Orlando’s Disney parks, constructed in 1971. Here you’ll find Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and the seven dwarves, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad and his wild ride, Dumbo, the Little Mermaid, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey, Goofy and Pinnochio!
Parents feel transported back to their childhood, while children experience the magic of Disney. Unlike other amusement parks, at Disney World Orlando every single detail, be it a sign, a plant arrangement, a costumed cast member or music, has been agonized over to transform the illusion into a very real world.
Once guests pass through the Main Street “opening credits,” as the Disneyworld imagineers call them, Tomorrowland appears to the right. This part of the Magic Kingdom was designed to look like the future, as 1920s science fiction writers imagined it. Space Mountain, a fast-moving indoor rollercoaster, is by far the most popular attraction at Disney, as a whole. (more…)
