“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

Clean Air in Scotland??

Clean air in Scotland?? As if you were in any doubt about this!  You associate Scotland with fresh air, beautiful countryside and friendly people.  However, if you are planning a trip to Scotland in 2006, it is quite possible that you will be affected by some new legislation.

The Scottish Parliament passed a law which will affect vacationers to Scotland from 26th March 2006.  "Smoking will no longer be allowed in the majority of enclosed public places, including workplaces."

There are very few exemptions to the smoking ban, which will affect most public premises, offices, factories and work vehicles. According to the Scottish Executive, it is not enough to ventilate public areas and filter the air; there is a good body of proof which shows that ventilating the rooms only takes away the smell of the smoke and makes the air appear cleaner.  The toxic carcinogens remain in the atmosphere and reason a public health hazard.

The new law will be enforced by Environmental Health Officers - and there will be a fixed penalty fine of £50 for smoking in no-smoking premises. The person in charge of an establishment who allows colleagues and site visitors to smoke could be fined £200.

As a non-smoker, this delights me - particularly as I have watched aunts and uncles succumb to smoking-related diseases.

A man goes on vacation and leaves his cat with his brother
He's gone for a few days and decides that he misses his furry friend, so he calls his brother up to check on her. His brother answers the phone.

"Hey! I'm just calling to check on how Fluffy's doing without me"

His brother on the other end gets quiet before saying, "I dont know how to tell you this, but yesterday, Fluffy got hit by a car and died"

"Oh my God!" The cat owner yells, "why would you tell me like that?!"

"Like what?"

"Just telling me she died! You ruined my whole vacation. You could have at least eased me into it!"

"..like how?"

"I don't know.. just could have told me she was on the roof or something"

"I'll remember that next time" his brother promises

"It's alright. Just be gentler with the news next time. Anyway, how's mom?"

More silence on the other line before the brother says, "well, she's on the roof"

Travel Insurance - Don't Go Abroad Without It

Photo by Bret Kavanaugh on Unsplash

Your choice of a journey insurance plan coverage is possibly the most essential decision you will make in planning your holiday. You will enjoy peace of thought on your holiday, understanding that any unforeseen circumstances, such as a health centre continue to be due to sickness or accident, will be taken care of.

In addition, whilst many vacationers have fitness insurance, it once in a while does now not cover them outdoor of their community or outside of the United States.  Most clinical plans will not cowl medical charges abroad, which is why tour insurance is indispensable to avoid financial disaster. Always take a look at the important points of your insurance coverage earlier than you travel. Additionally, without the perfect medical insurance, you will no longer have a say on the place you will be handled if you had been in an accident.

Generally, comprehensive journey insurance plan coverage charges 5 to 7 per cent of the rate of your trip.  Your coverage may also furnish compensation for misplaced luggage, some diploma of clinical evacuation insurance, accidental demise coverage, clinical expenses, non-public liability, cancellation, loss of baggage and theft.  Your policy has to also encompass all the details of how to make a claim.

Not all tour insurance plan plans are created equal.  The price varies from organisation and coverage to policy.  Policies may also be bought for man or woman journeys or as an annual policy for all trips taken in the 12 months of insurance.  If you purchase an annual travel insurance plan policy, it will cover you for one year from the beginning date you choose.  In some cases, it maybe your best option to purchase a time out cancellation waiver and a 0.33 party travel insurance plan policy.

Credit card businesses usually provide what is referred to as travel accident insurance, which covers accidents; however, not incidents of serious illness.  When you travel abroad, you need to usually think about buying insurance that consists of medical care.

If you are inclined to expect a financial hazard (the value of your trip), you can possibly forego insurance for your home travel.  Since 9/11, many are looking to travel insurance to guard their day out against any unexpected terrorist assaults at their destination.  Travelling abroad except insurance can be volatile and impose long-term economic hardships if an accident or illness occurred.

At your computer, reading jokes.


Nice. Real nice.

Discount Travel Package

Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

A cut-price travel bundle permits you to visit your favourite destinations at lower than ordinary rates. In brief, your dream holiday with your household is no more a dream, it has come alive. Being in a position to journey cheaply does now not suggest that you will usually get a high-quality deal. Therefore, it turns into very essential to layout and evaluate one-of-a-kind bargain tour packages and pick out the one that suits within your budget and needs.

A discount tour bundle is one way of saving your money on journeys to popular destinations. Travel businesses can assist you in deciding on a package deal that fits your pocket. They have a couple of packages, and you get a handful of options in front of you.

A tour agent can even customize your journey package according to your background. This includes the time and duration of stay, famous locations in and around your destination and even accommodation. These matters are taken into account when you figure out on a tour package. Also, due to vast opposition in this industry, one continually examine applications with other agents. This will provide you bargaining power, if possible.

It is now not essential that a discount travel package deal will have all those matters which you have in your mind. Guesswork or assumption would possibly not help here, so communicate up and inquire properly, say “yes” solely when you are 100% convinced with the important points referred to in the package brochure.

To be on a safer side, you can contact your pals or relatives who have been on a bargain tour package. They will truly have something important to share with you. Their experiences can guide you to prevent unscrupulous human beings from offering low-cost cut-price journey packages and actually taking you for a ride!
Remember, a journey bundle that is well planned and managed can lighten your touring load and make the day trip extra valuable and fun.
