Before advance tickets and hotel to cancel the account, it is best to calm down and see that although the climate is one hundred percent unfavorable, if we went on vacation is to relax and enjoy even more when it comes to a city not known. If we are together it is easier to lift the spirits and find an activity to keep us occupied and amused, but even when we are alone it is possible. Let’s see what things we can take this in mind and others that we do when everything is designed to pack.

Late Cultural events

In all cities, however small they may be there are museums and houses of culture. It can be boring and go outside in the pouring rain to visit a museum, sometimes it seems the best option. But it is very common in this type of space outlining the history of the city, with old photos and debris. In Europe, the supply of this type is very juicy, especially the amount of castles and ancient buildings that offer visitors all kinds of samples. In Latin America, these shows reflect their pre-Columbian history, colonial life and liberating revolutions, with paintings of battles and relics of that era. It is logical that with a beach within walking distance such departures do not we get excited, but a rainy day can help us learn and become familiar with the environment around us.

Goodies

For many, it’s the best option. In any tourist destination the cuisine is always great and wide enough to surprise in each bakery or restaurant we arrive. We will have to leave the shelter and get wet a few minutes, but the rewards will certainly be very welcome. If you are in a foreign country, it will become an adventure, even when the sky is completely clear. Knowing the food of a country is to know its culture and people, so I better go to a big market and test the delicacies sold there. If you have cabins with kitchen do not hesitate to visit the supermarket or department store and buy those things that seem appealing and are willing to try. The result can be disastrous if you do not have a recipe, but the experience will be very funny. If you prefer to go to a restaurant, ask for a recommendation to people passing in the street, they know they will inform the best option that fits your pocket.

Games

This is always the first idea that comes to mind when we travel together. Hopefully everyone to have occurred to keep a deck of cards dice or dominoes to pass the day playing. But will have to do a lottery to choose the unfortunate that the rain will come in a trade to buy a deck of cards and start betting. If you know of several games, this activity will be busy all afternoon. When no cards but pencil and paper, can test their mental agility games like Tutti-frutti or Hangman. And if all are creative and like to invent stories, the best game for a rainy day is the Exquisite Corpse. It is a simple game: each one begins writing five lines of what was happening, then fold the paper, leaving the last line in the open and passes it to the person next door who only see the last line and on that basis should write another five lines and then pass it on to someone else. The result is the most hilarious story they have read.

Film and theater

Offers film and theater can be very high and an excellent choice to avoid the rain, but surely nobody will want to leave the hotel to find out what movies are giving the people in the cinema. It is best if you get to a destination and travel brochures accumulate primarily target the tourist office. There they will find a dozen of entertainment can make rain or shine. If you have the program of film and the theater will be saved, but will have to be the pilot and the umbrella to the main street, where they are usually places of entertainment. This is a great choice for traveling alone and an opportunity to meet new people in line at the theater.

Shopping

Buy gifts for friends and family, regional sweets and souvenirs of holidays is usually an activity that lets one last time and that takes several hours. What’s better than a rainy day to go shopping? Businesses are open despite the inclement weather and after shopping you can have a rest at the cafes in the main street. If you’re in a foreign country, businesses that purchase prices displayed in the window because sometimes it is common for foreigners speculating traders charging more.

A bus tour in

Do not be swayed by the temptation to stay locked in the hotel. Even under a torrential storm can tour the city, not on foot, but within the public transportation in vans with a tour guide or, if they have one car. The vast majority of public transport have a regularly scheduled fixed route that will be important to know beforehand to avoid having to wait in a long time outdoors. The bus is always cheaper than a taxi and goes slow, you can go from north to south sitting comfortably enjoying the view a little watery, which is better; the route is circular, so you always return to the starting point. Remember, before making any trip, be sure that your visit is short-haul and mischief have to pass before the pastry.

The activities will depend on the tastes of each. While the more intellectual of insurance to buy a book and pass it in the hotel read, the more anxious to go around the city and the most fun to spend the afternoon playing cards. But if you have the terrible fate of not a day passed but three or four in the rain, and knows that they can pass equally well and safe return of many stories to tell.

Hundreds of years ago were really few people could travel by sea, only those who knew about navigation or who dared to use in a boat. When tourism does not exist and everything was away, the sailors were men of the world and in their retinas had stories of strange places, which they had when they arrived at their home, creating wonderful legends and stories.

Now it seems that everything is easier, but it is also true that to travel a lot to save in a year or more. So if you do not have enough money or just like to travel and work at the same time, the crewing is the best option.

What is crewing?
Crewing is the services that require certain shipping companies for work on board. The interesting thing is that there are various possibilities to engage in one of these works, and under different time frames. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling, and get paid for it, this is your chance.

Neither sailor or captain … or yes
Among the possibilities offered by crewing can be not only maintenance personnel, such as cleaning or engineer, there are also boats which include masseurs, doctors, nurses, cooks and in the case of leisure boats, party entertainers (magicians, jugglers, clowns), dancers, singers, croupiers, physical education, dance, translators, barman … the possibilities are many, but the requirements are too. There are also specialized diving boats or snorkeling instructor where jobs are in high demand.

The mode of operation is usually round in the same boat, and you can enjoy the cities and ports that you get to know in a short period of time, but enjoying the most of those days.

For boaters there is also the option of being masters of luxury yachts and skippers of sailboats rented by leisure travelers. But this option we have our years of practice and navigation made.

Another new alternative in this area is the opportunity to work for masters of yachts or sailboats for lack of time need to carry their boats from one port to another and pay for other captains to perform this task. You could say that this is almost the dream job. The possibility of carrying navigation from city to city can take a tour of the greater number of destinations in the shortest possible time, as opposed to a cruise that usually runs a single region, with few stops in cities. Bear in mind what kind of boat you’re pointing as many of them allow tourists to have one of the best views from the boat, but you have to work very little and enjoy the journey. The trips that make a journey by sea, such as those that go to the glaciers, are the best choice for tourists, while those with several stops in different cities will be the best choice for the traveler who makes crewing.

What you need
To get to work on a ship need to be specialists in any of the activities you listed above. Also know several languages, English is almost obligatory in all, and finally have a good level of general culture. The alternatives are chosen by young people in the area of the kitchen, working as assistant chef, barman, dishwasher and all culinary activities engaged on a boat. For some of these tasks must submit verifiable references of previous work, while others such as those for cleaning will be more accessible to inexperienced travelers.

Travel and work: two for one
When you’re selecting what work you can sign up, you can watch not only your job skills, but also in the time zone that requires work. It is useful to know in advance the cruise or boat stops and coordinate the work schedule to be able to descend to land as many times. If the city tours are scheduled in the afternoon, the best working hours will be morning or night, and similarly for other alternatives. However, if you have no idea of the timeline of the ship, working at night is the most popular choice for experienced travelers. Because passengers must sleep on the boat, going out to cities and the best views are made to the sunlight, so working at night you will get the most out of your trip.

If your resume allows you to sign up on more specific tasks such as event organizer, chef, dealer and other skilled jobs, the pay is better but depending on the responsibility assigned to you, some of these tasks often have full-time schedules. To escape these works do not need anything else to ask what are the options with less workload, because sometimes, even if you have experience, it is best to take those tasks that will help you fulfill your dream of travel.

The trip after work
Another option you have and one of the favorites are those trips where the pleasure comes after several weeks. It occurs mainly in ships that stop at several cities where the trip is round trip. In this case the work is usually in the kitchen or cleaning the area. Once you arrive at your destination you’ll have a couple of days to tour the city without anything stop you.

Where to begin your search
There are many companies who are responsible for looking for people willing to work for these boats, most is European or American, but you’re patiently in the network where you can find agencies send your CV and hopefully that dream desired trip.

However, be careful because not all firms are good level. If ever you ask for money to upload your data you send, as it is very likely to be a hoax.

As extra information that is currently not easy to find work on merchant ships, as supply far exceeds demand, and since the attacks on the Twin Towers the safety and security conditions have tightened the possibility of traveling passenger and as a worker in short time spans.

5. Discount Account

6. What will you heavier

7. Laundry

If you do not get products in smaller versions, you can dispense in bottles of less size.

9. Guides, maps and the thousands of papers
When you plan your trip usually wear all the brochures you have, maps, guides, magazines, in short, all the material that you can get? Try to note the most important data in a single book or send yourself an email with all the information, if you know that we have the Internet at your destination.

10. Presents and souvenirs
That has never been a nice souvenir to have a souvenir of the trip? Some people are more and still have been present for all family and friends. If you are someone who cannot stop making gifts, choose to buy a regional food such as candy, canned … whatever you have drawn attention. In return, you can invite your loved ones to try the food you brought and happened to see photographs of the trip.

The first thing to know is that, no matter what class you travel, choose the seat you want the plane but whenever you book in advance. To learn how to choose the airlines you can ask some important facts about the seats, especially in subject areas.

Space and comfort
The planes are not all equal, even within the same airline. This is where the space becomes important. To find out if a seat is comfortable or not you have to consider three elements.

1. Pitch
The space between seat-known in English as “pitch” – is measured as the space between the end of a line of seats and the beginning of another. This space ranges from 70 cm on domestic flights to almost two meters fully reclining sleeper seats. Although it is a measure to be taken into account, often does not include the thickness of the seats. Therefore, thinner seats have more room than most cushioned seats … It is a valuable data but very difficult to know before boarding the plane.
2. Recline
Know in advance how your seat reclines. It is one of the most important factors for a comfortable ride. Taking into account the pitch and recline your seat you can calculate how you’re stuck to the front seat if the passenger decides to take his seat back. Caution: in some recent airline seats do not recline.
3. Seat width
The seat width varies between 43 and 48 centimeters. Believe me, the 5 extra inches of your seat added to the seat next to make a big difference. If you’ve ever felt trapped and too close to another passenger, make sure you travel in an airplane with those 5 extra inches.

Security
The U.S. publication Popular Mechanics did a study to know where the safest seats on a commercial aircraft are, taking into account accidents such flights since 1971. Contrary to what many believe, the safest seats are the rear. It seems that the further back you your seat, increase your chances of surviving a plane crash. Passengers near the tail are 40 percent more likely to survive than those sitting in the front row.

Being near the emergency exits can increase your chances and give you peace of mind to have a pleasant and carefree travel.

Some people prefer the aisle seats for greater mobility. The others prefer window seats to take advantage of the landscape. When the rows are more than three seats, those in the middle are the least required. The proximity to the toilets can also be an advantage for some, but carries the trouble to be a very busy place. Therefore, aisle seats near the toilets are the least quiet.

And perhaps most importantly, stay away as the turbines. It can be very annoying on a long trip. The sound is strong and steady and probably will not let you sleep.

Now, relax and enjoy your flight

One of the best ways to determine which hotel is right for you is to consider what you’re looking for, and to match your requirements against the star rating assigned by tourist associations. Generally, the star system ranks from 0-5 on an ascending scale depending on the extent of facilities and luxuries within the hotel. The higher the number, generally, the more expensive the room rate, which can help you gauge value for money.
