You can notice the global warming when you travel...


Predictions about the rate of global warming vary greatly, but even by conservative estimates it's likely to have a big effect on travel. Many current tourist hotspots will literally be too hot for comfort, while others will lose their natural beauty, be prone to catastrophic storms—or simply be underwater.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the planet's average temperature could increase by as much as 3.5 degrees celsius by 2100, causing sea levels to rise nearly four feet. If the Greenland and Antarctic continental ice sheets then melt—as some predict—sea levels could rise by an additional 30 feet. Potential side effects include increasingly intense storms, catastrophic heat waves and global flooding on a biblical scale.

But on the upside, many previously undesirable locations farther from the equator, or at higher altitudes, could become much more inviting.

Preparing our travels in advance...

As any traveler, I am quite obsessed with the idea of getting lots of information related to the specific are to where I am traveling… In fact, I don’t think that any traveler could ever forget the idea of getting as much information as possible related to the area we pick for our holidays.

Keeping this in mind, I think that this Area Code Finder will really come in handy when you decide to travel as it will allow you to search for information based on a area code that you know in advance! Isn’t it easy and comfortable for any Internet user? Well, next time you travel, just don’t forget to use this useful tool…

Where is my refund?


Just see this dialogue and take your own conclusions out of it:


Q: I’m trying to get a partial refund for my airline ticket, and am getting nowhere. Maybe you can help me.

I recently booked a nonrefundable ticket on Lufthansa from San Francisco to Istanbul through Priceline.com. I had to call off my travel plans because of an illness, so I decided to recoup my rather sizable surcharges and fees, which amounted to about $350.

I phoned the airline to ask about a refund, and an agent suggested I get in touch with Priceline. But Priceline said it could only refund the taxes and fees if Lufthansa agreed to it. The back-and-forth continued, with neither side able to help me.

I feel Priceline is responsible for the refund, since it was my travel agent. How do I get these two groups to talk to each other and rectify the situation? — Kevin O’Connell, San Francisco

A: Priceline should have helped you with your refund instead of passing you off to Lufthansa.

While it’s true that a nonrefundable airfare isn’t refundable, there’s another part of your ticket that I think should be reimbursed. Certain government taxes and fees ought to be returned to you.

Prepare yourself for the upcoming parties!

Even though I am a traveler and I was willing to take advantage of the upcoming Halloween season to go to another country that I didn’t visit yet, the truth is that I won’t resist the temptation of going once again to the Halloween party of the company as there are simply too many attractions to pass it by!


So, I am already doing to best to find the most stunning Halloween Costumes that I can possibly use on the party in a major attempt to impress everyone else with my costume and making all the managers of the company notice my presence in the party! Keeping this in mind, I have already found my costume and it will be a pirate one! I mean, they are both classical and also have a touch of adventure and glamour, allowing me to make a major mix of cultures and principles! If you want to see it, you can do it just below:




What are you waiting for? If you are also looking for the best Halloween costumes for you too, then you surely need to have a look at the website above, where you will definitely be given the chance to enjoy buying some of the best costumes ever seen! Just hurry up and grab your costume in advance…

Computers may influence the airlines...


A faulty computer unit likely caused a Qantas jetliner to experience two terrifying midair plunges within minutes last week, an Australian investigator said Tuesday.

More than 40 people were injured when the Airbus A330-300 briefly nose-dived twice during a flight from Singapore to the western Australian city of Perth last Tuesday.

Julian Walsh, chief air investigator at the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said an initial investigation indicated the cause was a computer unit that detects through sensors the angle of the plane against the airstream. He said one of the plane's three such units malfunctioned and sent the wrong data to the main flight computers.

Preparing ourselves for the winter...

From my own experience as a traveler who has already been to almost every corner of the world, I must say that the clothes that we take along with us when we travel really play a very important role as soon as we arrive to our destination… I mean, can you imagine going to Alaska without some beautiful cashmere Socks that will both be warm and glamorous to impress everyone else?

Keeping this in mind, I would like to refer to HUE as the best fastest growing Leg wear brand which has the best solutions for any consumer who needs to buy some new socks for any trip that you may be arranging or even some socks to warm you up during the upcoming winter…

Special drinks from all around the world...


Every tourist knows the credo: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. For the adventurous who would like to try signature drinks in their international destinations of origin, here’s a list of top favorites. Cheers!


All of the following concoctions and many more can be found in David Biggs' “Cocktails around the World” -- a veritable encyclopedia of famous drinks.

Being part of a special community...

With so many financial and social problems menacing our society, most people just tend to ignore the desire of searching for happiness in their lives and so they end up not having much friends or even a mate…

Keeping this in mind, Internet and dating websites appear as the ultimate way of matching singles with each other, allowing them to make more friends and even find someone special to make their lives become a paradise!

Personally, I think that Great Expectations is the best dating website available these days and which has over 30 years of experience and which has a customer service being provided at every location where there are members of the community… Moreover, they even organize events every month where all the members are given the chance to keep in touch with each other. Furthermore, the database has all the most recent videos and photos from every member of the community, making it quite a trustful community where everyone has enough privacy and can also count with the trust from all the other members.

As I am already a member of this community and I simply love it, I felt obliged to write this Great Expectations Review as I am sure that most of my readers will definitely benefit when they also become a members of this community!

Going for the green...


Unlike most pieces of modern architecture, the Richmond Oval is built to be admired from the inside out. A glass façade on the structure's north side gives clear, expansive views of the North Shore Mountains. The venue's three other sides are wrapped in a polycarbonate glaze in varying shades of blue. The design aims to maximize natural light for the 8,000-seat speed-skating track. The structure—located across the Fraser River from Vancouver's main airport—is also notable for its innovative wooden roof. Made from trees killed by the recent pine-beetle infestation in British Columbia, the roof showcases a practical use for the once-discarded material.

Get a look at some Eco Chill action
And no, "eco chill" is not what environmentalists do to relax. An ice rink needs to transfer heat energy out of water to make it freeze. Normally that energy is wasted. But the UBC Thunderbird Arena—an addition to the University of British Columbia's ocean-side campus—has installed Eco Chill, an energy-recycling system that collects and reuses the energy needed to maintain the ice. The largest of the complex's three ice arenas will hold more than 7,000 people and be a battleground for men's and women's ice hockey during the Games. The exterior is modern but won't win any style accolades.

Even stadiums can be "recycled"
Vancouver's push for sustainability in its new Olympic venues would be pointless if it built them for 16 days' worth of events and then never used them again. The city is making sure that each structure can serve the community long after the Olympic torch has been extinguished. For instance, the Vancouver Olympic/Paralympic Centre, near Queen Elizabeth Park, includes a 100,000-square-foot curling venue that will be converted into a multipurpose community recreation center after 2010. Next door, there's a 60,000-square-foot aquatic center. Not only will the two venues be connected by an indoor concourse, but they'll also share energy. Waste heat from the curling rink's refrigeration plant will be captured and reused to heat parts of the venue next door.
