Tent Camping Cooking Supplies
Posted on 16. Jun, 2009 by whaleadmin in World Travel
When tent camping, you will often have your car or vehicle nearby. (Unless you are backpacking!) Having a vehicle handy will enable you to pack certain camping cooking supplies that you may not normally be able to include. The handiest way to sort out camping cooking supplies for camping is to keep a large plastic [...]
Duffle Bags

photo credit: deltaMike There are many choices when it comes to luggage and the materials that are used to make them. One of my favorites is the very versatile duffle bag. Obviously a duffel bag is a soft outer cover for you contents so some items don’t work well in duffels (ex: your liquids like [...]

photo credit: Stepheye Ok, if you want to see something quite bizarre then get yourself down to the ancient Occitan festival of Limoux, Fecos de Limoux, which takes place over several weekends in this town in the Languedoc region of France.

Winter at the Beach
Posted on 31. May, 2009 by whaleadmin in World Travel
Now that the summer season is getting started, I was thinking about my last visit to the beach. It was a mid January trip and I found myself with a bit of time, between appointments, and not far from the ocean. I headed east to Point Pleasant NJ and parked in an empty parking lot. [...]
Hispanialta Egyptiin

Talvella on mukava lähteä lämpimään maahan hakemaan aurinkoa ja valoa, jotta jaksaa kylmän ja pimeän talven yli Suomessa. Yleensä suomalaiset ovat makustelleet Kanarian saarille hakemaan lämpöä ja aurinkoa talven pimeyteen. Atlantilla sijaitsevat saaret ovat kyllä mukavan etelässä ja lähellä päiväntaasaajaa, jossa aurinko paistelee paremmin siloin kun meillä on täällä talvi. Uutena vaihtoehtona voisi kanarian saarille [...]
The Beach Crowd

This weekend is the big, first-of-the-season party at the Jersey shore. My friends and I are hanging out in Seaside Heights this year. The town is crazy. There is wall to wall people here, which isn’t surprising considering there are so many Seaside Heights hotels. It seems like every other building in this town has [...]
Lentokoneen mukavuuksia Lontooseen lennettäessä
Posted on 23. May, 2009 by whaleadmin in World Travel
Suurissa lentokoneissa on kaikkia pieniä mukavuuksia, kun lennetään pitkiä matkoja maailman eri kolkkiin. Isot koneet on varustettu huomattavasti paremmin ja tyylikkäämmin kuin pienet reittikoneet, jotka menevät lyhyitä matkoja lähimaiden välillä. Monissa voi olla vaikka ykkösluokan jälkeen vielä parempi superior luokka tai vastaava. Tässä luokassa on yleensä jokaisella erilliset penkit ja paljon tilaa jaloilla sekä matkatavaroilla. [...]
