GPS tracking services

Even considering the fact that many companies always blindly trust their employees, the truth is that many others find it absolutely mandatory that they keep tracking their employees and discover where the drivers of the company are at any moment.

Keeping this in mind, this GPS Tracking solution really comes to our lives as the ultimate way of tracking those employees or tracking our own daughter, who is a teen driver, for example. In fact, you can really use these GPS tracking services to any purpose.

So, would you like to know more about these GPS tracking services, the features that you will get, how much it will cost you and other vital information that you need to collect related to these services? If that’s the fact, then you should take some time to visit the website to which I have linked above and see how incredibly easy and affordable it is to keep track of the people that we look after.

Airlines still expanding WI-FI services

As I have recently mentioned, Internet and computers really play a vital role in our daily life as employees but also as individuals who really need the Internet to get the things we love! Keeping this in mind, it is normal that airlines are already trying to make a major effort to spread the WI-FI services for every plane as you may discover by reading the msnbc.com article just below:

"

DALLAS - Southwest Airlines Co. says it's finished testing Wi-Fi Internet access on four aircraft and plans to expand the service to all its planes beginning early next year.

The airline said Friday that the test has generated raves among passengers.

Southwest said it would continue testing prices for the service through the end of the year.

Dave Ridley, the discount carrier's senior vice president of marketing, said the company is happy with the technical performance of the in-flight service and the response of customers.

During the test, passengers have used the service for e-mail, streaming video and other content using laptop computers and smart phones.

Southwest uses satellite-based broadband access provided by Row 44. Other carriers, including Delta and American, that are farther along in outfitting planes with Wi-Fi service use another service from Aircell.

Southwest did not indicate how quickly it would outfit its fleet, which numbers more than 500 planes, but Row 44 President Gregg Fialcowitz said his company could do the work in 12 months.

Fialcowitz said that the percentage of passengers who used the service for free on test flights by Southwest and another customer, Alaska Airlines, was in the mid-20s but soared as high as 70 to 80 percent on some routes, such as between San Francisco and Seattle.

Demand among leisure travelers was just as strong as among business travelers, he said.

Southwest and Alaska will set the fees paid by passengers and keep all the revenue after paying a fee to Row 44, Fialcowitz said.

The importance of remote access to our computer

Even when I am on holidays, the truth is that my company always requires me to do something extra about the development of the services, making it absolutely mandatory that I keep in touch with the other professionals even when I am in Europe trying to relax!
Keeping this in mind, remote access software plays a vital role as it is the ultimate way of allowing me and other users around the globe who need to access their personal computers from anywhere in the world to remotely log in on their computers with the protection of a 128bit SSL encryption of all data, which will make sure that you can surf your personal computer with all the security that you would get at home too. Moreover, if you take some time to visit the website above and discover the great features of “I'm InTouch”, you will witness that even considering the fact that you get a professional software, it will still be extremely easy for you to install it and take full advantage of all the features that you will get, including remote printing, drag and drop file transfer, etc. See the image below to see how remote access will look like in your computer:



So, if you also find your computer indispensable and if you really travel a lot around the world, why don’t you also consider the possibility of getting I'm InTouch software?

Shoulder season: discover this new concept


If you take a moment to relax and think about travels, you will easily conclude that you can count with both the low and high season with the respective prices... Still, is there any other season in the middle? How about the prices in that season? Can we find the perfect opportunity in that season? If you would like to find a surprising answer to these questions, then you definitely need to read the msnbc.com article just below:

By Sean O'Neill

Shoulder season doesn't fall at the same time everywhere, but if you time your visits right, you can see some of the world's greatest places for a fraction of the price.

SEPTEMBER

Denali National Park, Alaska
After Labor Day, foliage thins out, making it easier to view caribou, moose and bears as they live it up before winter's chill returns in October. The National Park Service stops running its shuttles mid-month, but visitors can still access many park roads by private car.

Cape Cod, Mass.
By mid-September, a timeworn cliché comes true: The coast is clear. And it's still warm enough to explore the area's sand dunes. On weekends, B&Bs don't so much drop their prices as pile on the free perks.

Southern Caribbean
Lying outside the hurricane belt, these islands (including Aruba and Bonaire) deliver tranquil weather that's only a few degrees hotter in September than during the rest of the year.

Iceland
Chilly temperatures in the upper 40s during the day don't put an end to whale-watching tours, glacier hikes and dips in hot thermal springs; the only difference from the warmer summer (other than reduced museum hours) is that large group tours are replaced with intimate outings. Weekend hotel rates in Reykjavík drop by about 15 percent.

Marrakech
In September, demand for the traditional riad (a courtyard home turned into a hotel) is below its December crest, when the Europeans swarm in. Expect hotel discounts of up to 50 percent and sunny days with an average high of 90 degrees.

Cape Town
One of the world's prettiest cities shows off its seaside views in September, a great time for whale-watching. Hotels and inns are historically only 60 percent full, prompting hoteliers to unveil deep discounts.

OCTOBER

Nova Scotia
Fall-foliage season peaks in October, later than in parts of New England. Lodging here is also a better value than in high-season Vermont, partly because of an exchange rate favorable to American visitors.

London
As leaves fall in London's parks, so do hotel prices citywide. Tourist sites are less crowded in October, so you'll have some breathing room in museums such as the Tate Modern. British Airways traditionally runs sales with fares discounted roughly one-third off summer prices. Temperatures tend to hover in the upper 50s; as always, pack a brolly in case of rain.

Greek islands
The European college kids return to their home countries by October, yet the sea retains its summer warmth. Hotels, inns and ferries generally charge 20 percent less than peak-season rates.

NOVEMBER

Colorado ski country
Most ski resorts reopen in November, but skiers generally don't arrive until the week of Christmas. To get customers onto the lifts, resorts run promotions such as free ski passes for children when parents buy their own. Tip: Breckenridge Mountain Lodge is offering starting rates of $43 a night — 43 percent off regular-season rates.

Costa Rica
The average November rainfall of six inches is half the level of September and October, but tourists haven't yet arrived in droves for winter surfing and zip lining.

Buenos Aires
The jacarandas bloom with lavender-blue flowers in November. But 23 percent fewer Americans fly to the Argentine capital this month than in December, resulting in a lower demand for tickets. Fares from New York City are about $100 cheaper now than in December.

Paris
The City of Light is always buzzing, but its convention business slows down in November. Airfares and hotel prices plunge. In 2008, the average air/hotel package price booked via Expedia for November was half the average for April. Scattered showers are typical, but much of Paris's charm is indoors, anyway — in its cafés, galleries and boutiques.

Thailand's Andaman Coast
The wet season is winding down. If you don't mind occasional showers, you'll enjoy verdant foliage and clear water for diving and snorkeling. Hotels slash their rates by about 50 percent compared with the peak winter (dry season) prices.

Beijing
International visits drop about 20 percent from their summer highs by November, and prices fall, too. Average temperatures climb into the 50s, but things stay pretty dry. Friendly Planet Travel sells an eight-night escorted-tour package with airfare for $1,199 per person this month — $400 less than in July.
