Buying some 5.11 tactical gear

Even though I am a big fan of travels and I feel like there is nothing better to do in life other than traveling all around the globe, the truth is that I have a dream that I will never be able to fulfill now that I am already too old for it! That dream consisted on being a policeman and it was a dream that has been accompanying me ever since I was a child…

Keeping this in mind, it is normal that I often end up spending a lot of time doing my best in order to get all the 5.11 Tactical gear that I possibly can in order to be able to feel as secure as possible and ready to act if something wrong happens while we are walking around the street. Personally, I am planning to buy some new tactical knives and a new tactical series watch in order to give me an extra powerful look on the streets.

So, would you also like to get some of the gear that the military forces and many other professionals use daily? Well, that’s possible, you just need to have a look at the website to which I have linked above and immediately take advantage of the best prices in the whole market, while also getting high quality gear!

Visiting France has never been better for visitors under 25


Do you really think that nobody cares about the national value of the museums? That doesn't seem to happen in France as President Sarkozy has recently came up with a brilliant idea for all the under 25 visitors in France...

French President Nicolas Sarkozy says the country's national museums and monuments will soon stop charging admission to visitors under 25.

Sarkozy says the measure will go into effect April 4. Sarkozy didn't offer any other details about the measures.

French national museums include Paris' Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. Adult admission to the Louvre permanent collection is euro9 ($12).

In his New Year's address Tuesday to members of France's culture sector, Sarkozy also announced the creation of a new museum devoted to chronicling the country's history. He said the future Museum of French History would be located in a "site emblematic of our history," but did not say where.

Traveling without paying so much money...

While most people tend to believe that the best time of the year to travel is the summer, the truth is that I am far from agreeing with that perspective. In fact, this winter I have traveled far more than what I did during the summer simply because I love the snow and how it allows us to enjoy some incredible family moments.

Anyway, I am already planning my spring Panama City Beach vacations which are going to take place in just a few months! I am really excited about this vacation and that’s partially because of the fact that this time I will be taking advantage of the travel rentals system to have a good time while paying much less than what I do if I was going to a Hotel…

As a matter of fact, travel rentals allow us to enjoy a much better view of the beach because we won’t be sitting in a small Hotel room! In spite of that, we will be in a rented building, making it possible for us to get extra privacy, more room to move around, less noise at night which makes it possible to relax even further and we will even have the chance to invite as many of our friends as we want to visit us! Moreover, vacation rentals tend to be much cheaper than going to a Hotel, so what else could we ask for?

Traveling to Costa Rica



Have you ever wondered how it would feel to travel clueless? Well, that's exactly what Rick Steves did and here you have his story to inspire you! Why don't you try something similar too? I am sure that you would love it! Just read the story below:

When I want to take a vacation, I don't go to Europe. I work in Europe — so I try to take vacations elsewhere. This year’s Christmas gift to my family was a week in Costa Rica. I’d never been to Central America to simply relax, and I was clueless about Costa Rica. I just signed up for the best eight days that my friend’s tour company could offer.

For someone who knows so much about travel, it was fun being clueless. I couldn’t even find where we were going on the map. Not knowing what plugs worked, I needlessly brought European adapters. I was paranoid that our iPhone would be on accidentally, and we’d be roaming 24/7, racking up a huge bill, and sipping cheap drinks while going broke.

At the small San Jose airport, we climbed into a tiny, six-seater plane for a herky-jerky ride over lush mountains. Our destination was a jungle landing strip and then a quick shuttle to the remote beach at Manuel Antonio National Park. The flight seemed pretty dangerous. I kept looking at the pilot and his young co-pilot, who were incredibly nonchalant as they flew their airborne jalopy into a dense cloud, managing to push the right little buttons and switches as the entire cockpit rattled away in a complete whiteout. Eventually, like a stray chunk of two-lane highway, our landing strip came into view. The “nature” vacation was about to begin.

Matching our graphical design needs...

Even though you may have never needed to create any illustration or logo for your own company or a special work that you could have been asked to do, the truth is that creating the concept of a new logo, illustration or even developing the visual concept of a website are tasks that we often end up not being able to fulfill on our own…

Keeping this in mind, creative.gd was launched a few months ago and this website brought us the possibility to crowdsource our Creative graphic design needs as individuals or companies but it also allows designers to make some extra money. It all starts when the individual/company looking for a new graphic design work posts a new design brief and establishing a money prize for the work they believe is the best. After that, all the designers/creatives will start competing for that prize by presenting the individual/company with their own design concepts based on what the individual/company has asked on the design brief… In the meanwhile, it is possible that everyone involved in the project keeps in touch making it easier to obtain a better final work and once the individual/company feels that they have found the design concept that they have been looking for, the designer of that concept will get paid. Could it be easier than this?

So, if you are an individual looking for some graphical design work or if you are a designer/creative, then you definitely need to have a look at the website above and join this amazing project!

Trying something new...



Do you really think that you have tried it all and there is nothing left to see? Read the story below and get some inspiration:

"A Japanese tourist who spent three months living in Mexico City's airport has returned home.

Airport spokesman Victor Mejia says Hiroshi Nohara left Monday on a flight for Japan via San Francisco.

Nohara arrived in Mexico City on Sept. 2 and spent the next three months at a food court in Terminal 1 of Benito Juarez International Airport.

His residency there made him a local celebrity and Mexican news programs ran regular updates on his life.

Nohara left the airport on Dec. 31 to stay with a woman who invited him to her Mexico City apartment. But Reforma newspaper reported that Nohara returned to the airport on Sunday carrying three plastic bags with his clothes and blankets.

He declined to speak to reporters."

Watching sports live is a great experience!

Just as thousands of other travelers, I am a big fan of sports and I tend to travel to other US states when a big event is taking place in another city! As a matter of fact, if I had the time to count how many times I went to visit other cities thanks to the fact that I was going to watch some NFL or national rodeo events, then I would be surprised with the final number!

Anyway, I can honestly say that being in the stadiums is probably the best place to enjoy the NFL or any other sport. Still, we often end up losing some replays and some new stories or news that we won’t hear about on the stadiums… Keeping this in mind, I usually visit Comcast.net in order to collect all the information related to my favorite sports and even watch some great videos from the events that I couldn’t watch live! In fact, yesterday I was able to see some of the best NFL videos at Comcast.net that I couldn’t find anywhere else and which really allowed me to have a much more precise idea of what NFL is all about…

So, if you are really a lover of sports and you spend most of your time practicing and watching it, then you definitely need to have a look at the website above where you can find all the latest news, videos, scores and many other information related to your favorite sports!

Why don't you visit chinatown?


Would you like to experience something new without leaving town? Well, why don't you take a look at the chinatown in your state? I am pretty sure that every state has something to show us when it comes the time to meet different cultures...

The Year of the Ox begins Jan. 26 and stores all over Chinatown are selling bright red decorations to mark the new year. But while it's easy to pick up cheap souvenirs at shops around the neighborhood, it's also worth spending a day seeking out the unfamiliar. You can sample new dishes, listen to a two-stringed fiddle called an erhu, or even visit a Buddhist temple.

Michael Moi, spokesman for the Chinatown Partnership, which was formed after the Sept. 11th attacks to promote the area and preserve local culture, encourages visitors to "open themselves up when it comes to Chinatown, and disregard preconceived notions. People recognize that Chinatown is good for good food and shopping, but there's a lot more to it. We're a cultural center, and people should bring a sense of adventure when they visit."

Preparing for the upcoming summer season

Even though we may claim that the summer is still really far away from us, the truth is that we should start to prepare ourselves for the summer as we will need some time in order to be physically fit and confident for it…

Keeping this in mind, most people end up noticing that there isn’t enough time to lose all the extra weight gained during the winter therefore they eventually quit the idea of losing weight and decide not to enjoy the beaches when the summer arrives! Still, there is one excellent solution for anyone without much time to dedicate to losing weight by practicing sports and that method consists on getting the safest and most effective diet pills available on the market and which you can buy at Lab88.com for the best prices in the market. As a matter of fact, with the help of these diet pills, you will be given a big help when it comes the time to achieve your weight loss objectives and I am sure that will mean a lot to you as an individual.

So, whenever you end up facing a situation where you need to lose some weight, then you definitely need to have a look at the website above where you can buy the most recommended diet pills…

Many flights from Chicago were cancelled...




Are you planning to travel to Chicago in the near future? Well, you would better think twice before making that decision when keeping in mind the current weather on the city...


Residents of the upper Midwest bundled up or just stayed inside Tuesday as a wave of bitterly cold air barreled south out of the Arctic, following on the heels of a fast-moving blizzard.

Some schools closed because of the cold and temperatures hit the single digits as far south as Kansas and Missouri.

Airlines had canceled more than 300 flights from Chicago's two airports in expectation of blizzard conditions Tuesday, Chicago Aviation Department spokesman Gregg Cunningham said. However, the weather service lifted blizzard warnings early Tuesday as the snow moved eastward.
