Getting free cell phones for your travels

Just as I have been doing recently, I will continue to give you some important advice on how you must prepare yourself for the future travels of yours… Personally, I think that apart from the accommodation, one of the most important things for a successful travel are good communication services that will allow you to keep in touch with the family that isn’t with you when you decide to travel to another point of the US…

Keeping this in mind, when I am planning my vacations one of my main concerns is to get free at&t cell phones and cheap plans for all the family before we take off! I mean, it may be unrealistic that I want to get free cell phones but the truth is that I was able to get my
free Palm Centro just by simply starting to buy cell phones online on the website above. In fact, I used to buy my cell phones in any store of the shopping centers but after seeing how much they were exploring me as a consumer, I definitely stopped buying from those stores and started to have a deeper look on the Internet while looking for my own free Blackberry Pearl… By the time I started to do it, I wouldn’t imagine that I would be so lucky that I could find such a user-friendly and useful website such as the one to which I have linked above and I was so happy when I figured out that it was possible to get free LG phones on the website!

So, do you think that it is also about time that you give up buying cell phones on shops? Well, it won’t matter if you are looking for free sony ericsson phones or any other brands because you will definitely be able to get them for free at bestincellphones.com, the ultimate online store.

How to avoid new airnline fees


Delays. Security lines. Increasing airfares. Air travelers’ growing list of gripes has morphed into a recognizable chorus that now also includes mulling over what once-free amenities must actually be paid for after arriving at the airport. It’s enough to make you want to give up on flying the unfriendly skies altogether! But there are ways to cap the cost of your flight at its ticket price with a little careful planning: Read on for our expert tips on avoiding the fees of the à la carte menu in the sky — airlines’ newest attempt to generate revenue in the face of rising jet fuel prices. Dodge attempts to be nickel-and-dimed on bottled water (yes, water!), pillows, headsets, and even an aisle seat by coming prepared. While the sky seems to be the limit on what they’ll charge for next, the restrooms and airsickness bags remain free ... for now.

1. Carry on to put fees in check
The most common-sense solution for avoiding checked baggage fees is to simply not check your bags. With American, Continental, Northwest, United, US Airways, Frontier, and Spirit now charging $15 for a first checked bag (and most legacy and budget airlines charging around $25 for the second one checked) on each leg of a flight, it just makes (dollars and) sense to carry on. Invest in a strong, yet lightweight bag that’s in accordance with the bulk of airlines' carry-on allowances (check individual airline Web sites for details as sizes do vary) and reusable toiletries containers (sized under the TSA’s mandated maximum of three ounces) and leave worries of lost luggage, hefty additional fees, and long waits at ticket counters (and carousels) for checked bags — behind.

2. If you must check bags, check wisely
The steepest checked baggage fees are tacked onto bags that are overweight (usually above 50 pounds) or oversized (from 62 inches). So while it may at first seem logical to try to cram everything into one bag instead of using two, know that while a first checked bag won’t set you back more than $15 on any airline, if it ends up being oversized or overweight it can cost anywhere from $29 (AirTran) to $175 (Delta, for over 70 pounds). Considering second checked bag fees hover around $25 on most airlines (bringing the average total for two checked bags to about $40), it's near-always the more economical option to check two bags than to go overboard on one. Alternatively, think about packing a small tote bag in your luggage that can be pulled out to use as a quick-fix carry on to transfer luggage overflow that might make your checked bag overweight by just a pound or two. If you must travel with more than two bags, or with overweight or oversized luggage, looking into a shipping agent like FedEx or the USPS for cost comparison is a smart move, as rates can actually be quite competitive.

3. Join the club
Several airlines — including United, American, and Continental — will waive baggage fees if you are an elite member of their frequent flyer program. Remember to sign up for your carrier’s frequent flyer program before booking your flight to start accruing points, and if you are already a member of a program, keep in mind that loyalty to them might very well pay off in the long run.

Discovering South Africa

Just as any traveler, when I go to a new destination worldwide I always tend to ask the native people to tell me more about the country and its trends… In fact, when I went to South Africa people have always told me that the country was developing at a very high speed thanks to the diamonds they export and so technology is now accessible to lots of people there!

Keeping this in mind, I was told that most South African websites had amazing quality and many of them have enough information to make us want to travel to Africa! So, if you are acknowledged of some of these interesting websites then you may wish to Write a Website Review to make all other Internet users be aware of the existence of that Internet page. So, if you want to help others, simply have a look at the website above and I am sure that your reviews will also contribute to make all the Internet users acknowledge which are the Top South African Websites

Diving with the sharks...


The only sounds are breath and bubbles.

A tuna head floats just feet away. I peer through the blue to the limits of my visibility, straining to see that tell-tale shape emerge from the murky edges of the water. Suddenly, a frantic tap on my shoulder from a fellow diver forces me to pivot to my right, and there, barely a foot away, is one the world’s greatest predators — his black eye staring right into my wide blue ones as he slowly glides past the cage.

I had met my first Great White Shark.
