			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most expensive hotel rooms in the world costs about $30,000 per night. I would expect everything to be gold plated for this cost and be able to take the furniture home! Look at what you get for your money and decide if you think one night in the penthouses suites at The Martinez Hotel in Cannes is worth it.</p>
<p>There are two suites and you pay this huge fee for the use of both, which can be opened up to join together. They both have a sitting room, dining room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and dressing room. They both have a jacuzzi, plasma screen television and DVD library as well as teak floors, silk curtains and art deco style furniture to match the style of the room.</p>
<p>There is a terrace which has views of the entire Bay of Cannes and it is so large it can fit 100 people on it – so fantastic if you are hosting a party. It has an open bar and a kitchen plus the services of a butler for the duration of your stay as well as access to a limousine.</p>
<p>The marbled bathroom with bathtub, shower and double sink with sauna come with welcome gifts which most hotels no longer offer. The room also has internet connection, a computer, fax, telephone, writing desk and satellite television so if you need to work or communicate then it should be very easy to do so.</p>
<p>The hotel also boasts three restaurants, a piano bar, a private beach, a heated pool and reception lounges. It is suitable for the largest of conferences.</p>
<p>I certainly could not justify this expense myself but it would be fabulous to host a wonderful reception for friends and family in such a fantastic place. I guess we can all dream!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are lots of interesting towns, villages and attractions to explore on Lanzarote, the fourth largest of the Canary Islands.  Many of which are a bit off the beaten track away from the main tourist resorts.</p>
<p>Most visitors to the island book a car and hit some of the main sights, such as the Timanfaya National Park and the many ingenious creations of Cesar Manrique.  But one of the best ways to enjoy the island is too simply drive around at your own pace.  Encountering traditional coastal resorts such as Playa Quemada.  Which have managed to resist tourist development despite their coastal location and proximity to mega resorts such as Puerto del Carmen.</p>
<p>Playa Quemada means black beach in Spanish and this dark stretch of sand is just a few minutes away from the marina at Puerto Calero.  It remains something of a Canarian stronghold and as a result there is little in the way of tourist accommodation here.  However it is possible to rent <a href="http://www.lanzaroteguidebook.com/holiday-villas.php" target="_blank">Lanzarote holiday villas</a> and apartments in areas close by.  <span id="more-82"></span></p>
<p>From Playa Quemada it’s just a short hop to the Balcon at Femes.  Which is a stunning lookout point with commanding views of the Rubicon plain and the south of the island.  Femes is really tucked away at the end of a steep and winding road.  But it is well worth the trip for the view and for the two restaurants here.  The best of which is Casa Emiliano.</p>
<p>Petrol and <a href="http://www.lanzaroteguidebook.com/car-hire.php" target="_blank">car hire in Lanzarote </a>are both cheap so it makes sense to get out touring the island.  Femes is close to the Salinas de Janubio, a saltworks which has an important role to play in local island history.  As for a period this product was exported across Europe and was one of the islands economic mainstays.  The salt flats appear in unexpected colours and shades of deep red, coral and dusky pink.  Drop in and buy a bag or enjoy a meal at the restaurant here.</p>
<p>The nearby village of Yaiza is also well worth a visit.  It&#8217;s known locally as the miracle village as this is where the flow of lava from the volcanoes at Timanfaya finally halted after eruptions in the 1730´s.  It´s a pretty little village that is regarded as the capital of the south.  But don’t expect a bustling metropolis – more a lightly pulsating pueblo!</p>
<p>Why not visit Lanzarote this autumn when the weather is still fantastic?  <a href="http://www.lanzaroteguidebook.com/flights.php" target="_blank">Flights to Lanzarote</a> are available online from as little as €100 return.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The city that attracted me most in Europe is Barcelona. It is located in the south eastern part of Spain and is the capital city of Catalonia Province. It´s a highly populated city, and it actually has more than 5 million people.</p>
<p>There was a time when Barcelona became a military camp of the Romans. The place was also conquered by the Moors, Visigoths and many others. These conquerors have influenced many of its structures, which made it to a city of mixed cultures.</p>
<p>When planning to go to Barcelona, don’t forget to include in your itinerary the Ciutat Vella. This attraction is located right in the center of Barcelona and within it are well preserved structures built a long time ago by the Romans. While walking on the streets, it’s more like a blast from the past.</p>
<p>A lot of tourists find themselves enjoying in the long stretch of La Ramba Boulevard. This is  the central business district of Barcelona where you’ll find many shops, booths, bars, restaurants, clubs and even an opera house. This is where most of vacationers flock and enjoy what the city can offer.</p>
<p>Museums in Barcelona mostly house works of very popular artists. Find your way to the National Museum of Art of Catalonia and get to appreciate the large pieces of old structures extracted from some of the city’s famous landmarks before they got demolished. This can be considered a city built within the city of Barcelona. If you want to visit the museums, you have to check beforehand their opening and closing schedule for they do not really follow a strict schedule.</p>
<p>Several people in Barcelona are big fans of soccer, which others call football. Make sure that you find time to watch a game when you happen to be in the city during the season. You will see how passionate people are about the game as seen through the large cheering yet peaceful crowd.</p>
<p>If you have passion for arts, Barcelona is the best place to visit. Most of the most visited architectural structures are the works of the ever famous Antoni Guadi. The Sagrada Familia church is said to be his most renowned creation even though he wasn’t able to complete it before he died. Other works of Guadi that are worth visiting are the Casa Mila and the Casa Batllo.</p>
<p>If you’re planning to go to Europe, Barcelona should be on top of your list. I guess the only problem that you’ll probably be encountering is how you will be able to detach yourself from this lovely place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to dip your body on the waters of the beach and feel the warm embrace of the sun before the summer ends, the Canary Islands will surely make your summer more satisfying.  This is a group of heavenly islands that are absolutely breathtaking and very relaxing.  Among the amazing islands include Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria.  Each of these islands has something unique to offer, and it would be a good idea to have a peek on all of them.</p>
<p><strong>Fuerteventura Island </strong></p>
<p>Fuerteventura is the second biggest island in the Canary Island Group.  It is just 60 miles away from north western part of Africa.  Seldom does this island experience any rain and it is, therefore, assured that you will have a great vacation.  There are also places in Fuerteventura that offer a unique experience like the Dunes National Park and the Island of Seals.<br />
<strong><br />
Tenerife Island</strong></p>
<p>Tenerife Island is the largest island of the Canary Islands . The island has Mount Teide as its major component.  Mount Teide, which is standing at 3,718 meters above sea level, is the highest in Spain and is known to be a dormant volcano.  The island has two climates brought about by Mount Teide.  The climate at the northern part is a bit wet and has more trees, while the southern part is warmer and dry.  There is a cable car available if you want to reach the top of the mountain. Just slide your way down to the beach if you want to feel the heat of the sun, walk on its black sand and swim on the cool waters of the island.</p>
<p><strong>Lanzarote Island</strong></p>

<p><strong>Gran Canaria Island</strong></p>
<p>The Gran Canaria ranks third among the Canary Islands in terms of size, and in terms of population, it ranks first.  You’ll find grey and golden sand beaches in the island and it actually depends on which section you’re in, northern or southern part.  This is an ideal place for people who want to hike and explore.  There are some places in this island where the sun shines the whole year round.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter where you go for your next trip, you&#8217;ll definitely want to make sure that you take pictures in order to really capture the event. The good news is that you don&#8217;t have to deal with just writing letters or buying postcards to mark the trip of a lifetime. These days, most people carry digital cameras in order to really send back memories that will make friends and family envious that they didn&#8217;t get to come with you!</p>
<p>The best thing about the digital times we live in is that the Internet has made it possible to get a top quality digital camera without spending a lot of money. This might seem like a scam, but the truth is that you can find such good deals online because it&#8217;s much easier to sell items at a lower cost. A low overhead means that the savings can be passed directly to you, which is a true win-win for all parties involved!</p>
<p>So, the only question that remains is how do you actually choose the right digital camera for your next trip? There&#8217;s a few things to think about in order to make sure that you get the best digital camera possible. The points here are mainly general starting points to get you pointed in the right direction. Naturally, you may want to add your own factors based on your unique situation.</p>
<p>Before you get started, you will want to set a budget to make sure that you don&#8217;t spend too much. Given how everything looks great online, it gets tempting to break your budget just to get something that looks like it has a higher level of quality than something else. It&#8217;s better to give up a few features than to go over your budget, something that will only leave you feeling bad before your trip &#8212; and who wants to feel bad before the next great adventure of life?</p>
<p>Generally speaking, the best features for your digital camera will focus on picture quality, which is generally measured in megapixels. The more megapixels that you have, the better your pictures will look. In addition, since you will most likely take a lot of pictures during your next trip, you want to have a camera that has a memory card slot that can hold a high capacity card. These days, you want to get at least a 2GB memory card or better so that you have a long way to go before you fill up the card and have to delete your pictures. There are some cameras that even have a wireless feature that allows you to upload pictures and video to Flickr and Youtube.com respectively. Zoom is an important feature as well, since zoom is responsible for allowing you to get up close and personal with whatever it is you want to capture with your camera&#8217;s lens.</p>
<p>Overall, getting the right digital camera for your next trip isn&#8217;t difficult at all. If you really take the tips here in this guide to heart, you&#8217;ll be one step closer to the digital camera that you deserve!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be difficult to find a quality hotel when planning an escape to a new vacation spot, especially if it’s on a tight budget. Don’t worry. With a little help and guidance, you can find the perfect hotel at the right price, even if it’s to a place you’ve only seen in travel magazines.</p>
<p>I’ve done my share of traveling. Needless to say, I have my fair share of storied nightmares. I’ll make sure that you don’t end up in the same cheap hotels that will give you nightmares as well. Ever been on a ski trip and the hotel room floor suddenly dropped six inches? I have. Luckily, my room was on the first floor. Having police raid your hotel in search of illegal immigrants isn’t exactly the whisper of ocean waves. What happened the next night? I didn’t stick around to find out.</p>
<p>A good inexpensive hotel room shouldn’t be such a risk. You could always go to a previous vacation spot, but where’s the adventure in that? The next best thing? Ask a friend who has already been to that town or region that you have in mind.</p>
<p>Ask the friend about the places they’ve stayed in the past. Did they enjoy it? Did they too wake up six inches lower than when they went to bed? Was it expensive? What amenities did the hotel offer? No one will recommend a hotel that left them feeling ripped off.</p>
<p>If you can’t find anyone who has been to your future vacation spot then you’ll just have to do a little research. You don’t want to gamble on the place that is going to give you a good night’s rest from all of that vacation excitement.</p>
<p>The internet is a great resource for hotel information and reviews. Most travel websites contain reviews from people who have stayed at hotels that might interest you. Read through them. You can get a good feel for the overall guest satisfaction. Maybe the negative reviews only complain about things that aren’t important to you. Keep an eye out for reviews that mention the things that you consider to be most important for a positive vacation experience.</p>
<p>If you’re not internet savvy then speaking with a travel agent might be the best route. It is a great way to ensure that the choice you make in hotels will be with a reputable one.</p>
<p>Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Most people are happy to give their opinions on previous hotel stays, good or bad. Also, don’t be afraid to call a hotel directly to gather information and ask questions. It might take a little time and effort, but finding the perfect hotel at the right price will be well worth the relaxing time spent there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone travels away from home eventually. These travels often lead to overnight or extended stays in hotels, motels or bed and breakfasts. Often, these trips are meant for vacation and relaxation. In an effort to relax, the dangers of fire never come to mind. This is especially important due to the unfamiliar environment that comes with being away from home. A few steps should be taken that can minimize these risks, then true relaxation can begin.</p>
<p>Fire fighting experts strongly suggest researching the hotel’s fire safety plan even before embarking on any trip. Inquire about smoke detectors and sprinkler systems. A small person survival kit is also advised. The kit should include a flashlight, roll of wide duct tape and a portable smoke detector. If traveling to a foreign speaking country then it is advised to learn the word “fire” in the native language.</p>
<p>Ask about the evacuation plan and the location of fire alarms when checking into a hotel. Once inside the hotel room, a check should be made for smoke detectors and a sprinkler system. Check windows to ensure that they open and close properly, identify at least two exit routes from your room (if available), learn how to unlock the door in the dark and keep your room key and flashlight near the bed.  Consider staying elsewhere if the hotel does not have a sufficient safety plan or equipment.</p>
<p>In the event of a fire in one’s room, take the room key, leave immediately, close the door, sound the fire alarm and quickly walk to the ground floor and out of the building to safety. Do not use the elevator.</p>
<p>In the event of a fire in another area of the hotel, take the room key and flashlight. Place the back of one’s hand against the door to check for heat. If heat is not detected then check the hallway for smoke. If smoke is present then crawling low to the floor to exit the nearest stairwell is strongly advised. Again, do not use the elevator.</p>
<p>If heat is detected by touching the door or smoke fills the hallway then staying in the room is the best option. The fire is nearby. Call for help, cram the bottom of the doorway with wet towels, and fill the bathtub with water. Use the duct tape from the survival kit to tape all of the door’s edges. Signal for help by hanging a bed sheet from a window. Wait for fire officials to come and never attempt to jump from the room’s window.</p>
<p>Some individuals may see these precautions as extreme and over the top. This is because many fire codes are taken for granted. However, taking the necessary precautions before a trip can ensure a safe and relaxing stay.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people who own pets often wish they could take their beloved dog or cat away with them on holiday. For pet owners, their pet is truly a part of their family and it feels awful leaving him behind in kennels or a cattery. They are always left with a guilty feeling. But what if you could take them with you? There are pet friendly hotels which allow you to do just this.</p>
<p>Leaving a pet behind when you go on holiday can be like leaving a son or daughter behind for some people. Most of us do not feel like this, but for some pet owners, it can be a real sense of betrayal. This constant nagging feeling of guilt or worry about how the kennels are treating him does not exactly make for a pleasant and relaxing holiday, does it? So what better plan than to take him along too?</p>
<p>Pet friendly hotels can be found in many areas that you may wish to visit. They are often run by pet owners themselves, and your pooch will find lots of other companions their when you visit. The best advice is to do your homework. Make sure you ring the place well in advance of your stay so that you can find out if they will accept you and your pet on that particular day.</p>
<p>It may be that they only have a few rooms in their hotel specifically for pets and because these may be rare, they may get booked up more quickly than usual. Never just turn up with your pet and expect the hotel to accommodate you without notice.</p>
<p>Another very good tip is to ask friends for advice and recommendations about good pet friendly hotels in the area you wish to visit. Nothing beats firsthand experience, and they may be able to give you traveling tips and other helpful advice too.</p>
<p>In general, book early and phone ahead. That way, you will be less likely to be disappointed. Make sure you tell the hotel owner exactly what type of pet you have. They may wish to see evidence of vaccinations or other documents. Do not be offended by this, they have to act within the law and are going out of their way to house you and your pet after all.</p>
<p>There may possibly be a premium on keeping your pet with you. But this will be less than housing them in a kennels or cattery, and will also be less than if you were two people sharing a room. After everything is organized, you and your beloved pet can enjoy your adventure together.</p>
