Bike tour in the San Juan Islands

When considering the things that I love doing the most, I would definitely refer to biking as one of them! Moreover, biking gives us the opportunity to enjoy some relaxing moments in the mountains while also taking the most out of the nature and the natural resources... Below is another msnbc.com article that shows you how incredible a bike tour in the San Juan Islands may be:

"

SAN JUAN ISLANDS, Wash. - Bicycle touring is a whale of a good time on the magical San Juan Islands.

Riders flock to this bicycling paradise for its varying terrain, quiet two-lane roads and scenic beaches. But the abundance of wildlife draws visitors too. The opportunity to spot a whale was a major reason for visiting the islands for my first multi-day bicycle adventure.

Every hard-earned tire rotation during my seven-day, 269-mile, self-guided tour of the islands, located some 80 miles north of Seattle in the Puget Sound, was validated when I witnessed a pod of whales playfully swimming up the shoreline of San Juan Island.

Until then, the trip had not been without a few challenges. The first day, 90-degree heat near Seattle had me wondering why I hadn't booked a cruise. And the roads to the ferry terminal in Anacortes, Wash., were busy, loud, and hilly. Every passing truck rattled my nerves. I hadn't ridden next to vehicles traveling at highway speeds before.

But I stayed positive knowing my riding partner, Ross Jonak, had survived a much tougher trip last summer, when he rode coast-to-coast on his bike.

When we arrived at the ferry terminal, I was too tired and sore to care that for the first time in my life, I was wearing Spandex shorts in public.

After buying the round-trip ferry ticket between Anacortes and our first destination, Shaw Island, we were relieved to learn that bicyclists and walk-on passengers can ride for free between islands. (Summer fares for adults are $13.15, plus $4 for a bike, Wednesday-Saturday, and $11.85 Sunday-Tuesday.)

The Washington State Ferries serve the four biggest islands in the San Juans. We spent the short ferry rides taking pictures, snacking, napping and studying maps of the islands.

Shaw Island was idyllic for getting us in the island groove. The island has only one store, a post office, a school and a campground. We only saw one car on the road leading to the campground. It had a completely different feel than the roads on the mainland.

We arrived at the campground without a reservation because we'd read that most campgrounds offered designated areas for hikers and bikers.

Once again, the sunny skies and mild temperatures were perfect for riding. The scenery was breathtaking along the south end of the island. We hiked to a lighthouse on Cattle Point and then headed for San Juan County Park.

Along the way we noticed a minivan on the side of the road. The passenger was pointing to the water. When I got closer, I saw a couple of Orca whales popping in and out of the water.

Farther ahead, groups of people were gathered at Lime Kiln Point State Park with binoculars in hand to get a view of the half-dozen whales in the pod.

This was the first time I'd ever seen whales outside of SeaWorld.

From San Juan Island we went to Orcas Island, which is extremely hilly. By this time in the trip, our biking legs were getting stronger, but we still struggled to get to Moran State Park, which features Mount Constitution, the highest point on any of the islands.

"You made it," said the park ranger at the entrance. "If you can do that, you can get up the mountain."

Exhausted from the elevation changes, we set up camp and crossed our fingers the sunshine would stick around for another day.

Fueled by our first showers of the week, we reached the top of the 2,500-foot mountain and enjoyed the 360-degree views. It was a perfect cap to a wonderful trip.

The importance of cord blood banking

When considering the fact that I am a woman who knows how it feels to love a son, I am more than experienced to guarantee absolutely everyone that there is nothing that a mother wouldn’t do to make their family as happy and healthy as possible.

Keeping this in mind, when I recently gave birth to my third daughter, I really searched about cord blood banking and cord blood transplants because I was told that I could protect my daughter against many diseases if I banked the cord blood of my daughter. As a matter of fact, I then decided that I would definitely do it and I came across the very satisfying and important Cryr-Cell selection criteria that will definitely come in handy in the future if my daughter ever needs to find a cure for any of the diseases that you may cure based on cord blood.

So, would you also like to protect the future of your family? If that’s the case and if you would like to know more about cord blood banking, then I would definitely advise you to take some time to visit the website above and see with your own eyes how incredibly easy and vital it is to bank the cord blood of our children.

being a business traveler during the recession...

Myself, I lnow how it feels to be a business traveler during this recession period and I can assure you all that it is pretty difficult to pay everything in time now that the businesses are still facing a financial downturn. Below you may read the future prospects for people like me on the msnbc.com article:

"

NEW YORK - Airfare wars and room-rate promotions are usually aimed at vacationers, but airlines and hotels are resorting to similar tactics to regain their traditional cash cow — the business traveler.

Corporate travelers, who pay higher airfares when they sit in the front cabins of planes or book close to the date of travel, are flying coach more often — or not traveling at all during the recession. And their employers are booking fewer banquet halls and blocks of rooms, leaving many hotels pining for the sizable and reliable revenue that business meetings used to generate.

Partly as a result, several major airlines are expected to post losses for the April-June quarter when they report their earnings starting this week. And hotel revenue — which fell sharply in the first quarter from a year earlier — is not expected to show much improvement in the second quarter, either. Marriott International Inc.'s results are due Thursday.

Business travelers tend to generate a higher percentage of overall industry revenue than the percentage of total travelers they represent. Of the $641 billion spent by U.S. residents in 2007 on domestic travel and tourism, roughly 33 percent came from business travelers, according to the U.S. Travel Association. But the number of domestic business trips accounted for less than 25 percent of that year's 2 billion total domestic trips.

Boston-based aviation consultant Mark Kiefer of CRA International said the economy is keeping a lid on business travel this year.

"We have a case of certain sectors that were consumers of a lot of business travel, like banking and so forth," Kiefer said. "The other issue we are grappling with are expectations. There is a lot of uncertainty about when the economy will turn around and by how much."

Travel companies are using a range of strategies to lure business travelers. Hotels are offering bonus room nights, free snacks and drinks, and more flexibility on booking and cancellation policies. Airlines have been offering heavily discounted upgrades and business-oriented fare sales.

Discounts have helped lure some vacationers back onto the road. Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Woronka noted that, while U.S. revenue per available room, a key gauge of the hotel industry's performance, was still down by a double-digit percentage since late June, it has shown a marked improvement because summer leisure demand has picked up.

But in a recent survey of 285 senior finance executives around the world, 87 percent said their companies plan to spend less on business travel this year. The American Express/CFO Research Global Business & Spending Monitor found 44 percent of the executives expect their companies' travel to decline more than 10 percent.

The survey did find that most companies will continue to spend on travel that could generate revenue. Frank Schnur, of American Express' business travel group, predicts that clients will continue to expect a financial return on their investments in travel, even after the economic recovery.

For now, many companies are cutting back. Drew Ramsey, a 33-year-old information security manager in Phoenix who is a Southwest Airlines frequent flier, says his company has essentially shut down business travel.

"Any business travel has to be a necessity; otherwise people are being asked to use videoconferencing or teleconferences," Ramsey said.

Traffic in high-end airline seats fell 22 percent in April, compared with the same month a year earlier, according to the International Air Transport Association. Meanwhile, the number of travelers on coach tickets rose 0.3 percent.

With a shrinking pot of corporate travel dollars, airlines like Southwest are trying new strategies to get business travelers on board. Ramsey said Southwest offered to fast-track him to "A-List" status. That provides a year of reserved-boarding privileges to passengers who belong to the airline's frequent-flier program and take a certain number of flights within a given period.

Airlines also are giving business travelers things like Wi-Fi, satellite radio, advance seat assignments and priority boarding to lure them in.

In the hotel industry, all kinds of chains that rely on business travelers are feeling the pain. Extended Stay Hotels LLC — which caters to business travelers who need longer-term lodging at lower rates — has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing a heavy debtload and a sharp drop in business travel.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Inc. is offering a 4 percent discount to business meeting planners who book an event for 10 or more room-nights at some of its brands, including the W, Westin and Sheraton chains. They also get a free snack break from PepsiCo Inc., through Aug. 31, and a hefty bonus of loyalty program points they can use for personal travel.

Hotels are not as agile because they typically negotiate corporate rates months or years in advance. So the rate cuts they're offering now could have a long term impact on revenue.

Continental Airlines CEO Larry Kellner said at a June investor conference that his airline is working its "business (traveler) side very hard because ... we could also see a recovery much more quicker if we could get the business traffic back on the airplanes."

So, why don’t you all have a look at the links above and give a High Five to Zenni Optical? I am more than sure that you will easily find many eyeglasses that you will simply love for the best prices ever!

Vital iPhone apps for travelers

When considering the fact that most travels have some less exciting moments where we just need to find something to do, the truth is that our gadgets will play an important role. In fact, it is also vital that we do our best in order to find the best apps for those gadgets which include iPhone, iPod, etc. Below is another msnbc.com article that shows you which are the most important apps for an iPhone:

"

An iPhone app is like a potato chip. “You always want to have just one more,” says Chris Hall, editor in chief of 148Apps.com. His review Web site, named for the maximum number of apps an early iPhone user could own, tries to keep up with the influx of new programs, but with some 40,000 apps on sale and another 500 to 1,000 released each week, his team can’t help falling behind.

An app is simply a little application, or program, that’s designed to perform a specialized function. Many of them are a boon for travelers. Flashlight, for instance, illuminates your screen so you can fumble through a dark hotel room. Currency calculates exchange rates.

The world’s 22 million iPhone users—including those who’ve snared the new iPhone 3GS model, released June 19—can browse and download apps, some for free and some for a few bucks, at the built-in App Store. True, some of the most popular apps don’t do much more than simulate fishponds or Zippo lighters, but as the field matures, so do the offerings.

These apps aren’t perfect, and some have problems that are amplified when you’re traveling. So buyers have to be choosy.

Developers tend to write apps, including almost all of the language-translation ones, which can be expensive to run because they require a phone to draw lots of information from the network. That’s fine at home, but download just five megabytes of info when you’re abroad and you could be slammed with a $40 tab. A few other travel apps, such as ones that help find a taxi, don’t have data for international locations.

But a good iPhone app is like a tool in a toolbox, and when one works well, it’s transformative, doing a job that you probably never thought could be done so easily. For fliers, iFareFinder searches the major booking sites (Kayak, Orbitz, etc.) for airfare and then hands you over to the seller for reservations. Chris Hall’s personal app toolbox includes Yelp, a portal to the popular user-written Web site that reviews food and party spots around the world, and UrbanSpoon, a restaurant finder. “I was in Vegas last week,” he says, “and I had found about 30 restaurants nearby a minute after walking out of my hotel.”

Travel apps are improving by the month. The TomTom app, released in June at the same time as the 3GS (which shoots video), turns the unit into a GPS device, great for navigating a new town. Hall’s travel wish list includes an app for bringing Southwest’s Ding! discount fares to the gadget, since the airline refuses to allow anyone else to report its prices.

As more functional, practical travel-related apps come to the phone, the device becomes increasingly indispensable to people who know the right ones to download. Just remember when to say when.
