snorkel

I have never been much of a swimmer. My friends have raved about diving for years. I have not found the time to go diving with them. I find it a bit scary and expensive. However, on my honeymoon, I got to try diving, snorkeling, caving and windsurfing, all in one weekend! We stayed in an island resort and on the first day I had to decide whether I would snorkel or dive. I chose to snorkel.

I did not expect that I would snorkel just around the resort. I thought the boat would take us someplace else and we would snorkel in the middle of the ocean. I didn’t realize there were so many fishes around our resort. I saw so many types of fishes just a few meters from where I would sunbathe. I even saw a mini turtle! I loved snorkeling; I liked it better than diving. Given a chance, I wouldn’t mind going snorkeling again in the near future.

Water is one of basic things a traveler has to have during trips. Most of the time, cleanliness becomes a major problem when it comes to drinking water. That is why, it is always best to bring along a portable water purifier. It doesn’t have to be big and bulky to ensure what you’re drinking is safe. There are lightweight purifiers available in the market. All you have to do is choose the best quality and the ones within your budget.

Portable water purifiers are specially designed for outdoor use. They’re made of hard rubber outer shell and lid for protection against damage in case they’re dropped. Those available either online or in the stores kill almost a hundred percent of bacteria like salmonella and e-coli. Because they are portable, they can be safely kept in a backpack for long trips. Water cleansed through the portable water purifier also usually goes through three-stage process.

Flying solo over mountains can be breathtaking. You get to see beautiful sceneries you won’t see while traveling on the ground. The ability to travel faster from places to places is definitely a great advantage of knowing how to fly a small plane. However, one must pay extra attention to safety while traveling alone.

Have one of airplane survival kits with you before going on a flight. It is always wise to prepare in case you need to make an emergency landing as the subsequent survival situation can be made more difficult. Never risk the consequences of having a survival kit left at home when you desperately need it.

Make your underwater activities safer and more fun by using proper snorkeling equipment. Although not necessary, snorkeling fins are great equipment that will allow you to explore a snorkeling area on a bigger scale. They help you move faster from one place to another. Snorkeling fins will even allow you to go down under water for a short while and get you to the surface faster.

These fins are the same fins scuba divers use. So if you happen to pursue diving lessons in the future, you will no longer have to buy fins. To better enjoy snorkeling fins, you also have to wear dive boots to protect your feet from blisters caused by constant rubbing of skin with the straps of the fins.

Travelling is always fun and memorable especially in the company of families or friends. Recently, a good friend went on a tour of the beautiful islands of Greece. From the majestic Parthenon, Acropolis, Olympia, to the very beautiful sunset of Santorini my friend shared her all experiences in her emails. Naturally, her wonderful sojourn and gastronomic adventures were all captured in photos so I look forward to receiving her emails with equal excitement.

Everything, every detail of her exploration of this beautiful country is worth of bulky scrapbook project. Unforgettable moments for her was the harrowing donkey ride in Santorini. It was fun yet nerve-wracking because despite the weight of my friend and the 3 piece travelers choice luggage sets on its back, the donkey was galloping like a racer on the steeply trail leading to the hotel. Good thing my friend was holding on to the reigns tightly she made it to the hotel in one piece. When asked if she’s going back, my friend said yeah, I dream of retiring in Greece.

Hawaii snorkeling

Just like climate that varies all over the world depending on the seasons, water temperature also differs in winter than they are during summer. They vary as much as 20 degrees. When you go Hawaii snorkeling in the summer, the water temperature there will be very different if you come back to go diving in the winter.

Buying a wetsuit can sometimes be tricky because women tend to get colder easier than men. This is due to the more surface areas or curves that women have. If you and your spouse are traveling together to a destination with underwater activities, it would make sense to buy a warmer suit for the lady.



Grand Coulee vacation

I’m not really big on the great outdoors. Camping, hiking and other nature vacations don’t appeal to me. My idea of a vacation would be on a 5-star hotel resort and spa. Things changed however when I decided to took a wild river raft tour about a year ago. I have since been open to try and experience what nature has to offer. Next summer, my husband and I are going on a Grand Coulee vacation.

The Grand Coulee is somewhere in the Columbia River Valley area of Washington state. The Grand Coulee Dam is one of the main attractions. For our Grand Coulee vacation, we have decided to start with the dam then proceed on to the nearby Moses Lake for water sports. I am looking forward to kayaking and picnicking by the lake. I may even go for a swim if it’s allowed.
