			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The most popular and fastest way to get to Australia is to buy a plane ticket. And the easiest way for Australians to see the world is to leave the continent on the airliner. However, you will have to fly long and in this situation the behavior of neighbors in the cabin strongly influences the holiday mood. Chatterbox-neighbor can ruin your whole vacation and a child, kicking his chair, would eclipse all the positive memories of the Bahamas. Therefore, it is in Australia that travel industry specialists figured out how passengers should behave to safely and quietly reach the airport arrivals area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1152" title="travel1" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/travel1.jpg" alt="travel1" width="416" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
1. Do not tilt the chair back too sharply, especially if flight attendants have just handed out food and drinks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
2. You need to eat accurately, without making extra sounds, so as not to attract the attention of a neighbor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
3. Especially it is not recommended to take off shoes and socks. Not everybody is accustomed to their delicate flavor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
4. By the way, about the smell &#8211; emit gases is admitted in the toilet. Too many people find the process and the sounds accompanying it, an insult, and not a pretext to start a pleasant conversation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
5. Regarding the conversation – you should not talk loudly with friends, sitting in different parts of the cabin. Go to each one. Such attention will certainly be appreciated more by everyone rather  than if you call.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1153" title="food" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/food.jpg" alt="food" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
6. During the flight do not try to discuss with a neighbor sleeping or listening to music even if you want to talk about such an interesting subject like UFOs. There is a possibility that, he will decide that this is an apocalypse, and will suddenly open the emergency door?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
7. While listening to music, do not do it too loud, sing, whistle, and stamping to the beat. In the lounge there may be real aggressive and adherents of other genres of music.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
8. If you want to sleep, make sure that you will not wake up on the shoulder of your neighbor. Who knows how your neighbor will understand the situation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
9. If the neighbor is sleeping, but you need to go to the toilet, then you should try to be cautious, not to stepp on someone else&#8217;s feet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
10. By the way, if you know that you will have to run around the end of the passenger compartment very often, then it is better to ask to shift with places, in advance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1154" title="sleeping-on-the-plane" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sleeping-on-the-plane.jpg" alt="sleeping-on-the-plane" width="500" height="378" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
11. You should stretch in a chair carefully not to disturb the neighbors in the back and front.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
12. It is unacceptable to kick the front seat and rest against it with knees. And also fold your legs, hands and other body parts on it. Angry passengers can tear them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Those who think that the Old World is already civilized from head to feet and at the map of Europe there in not a single wild corner are mistaken. In civilized Europe you may not only stroll along the woods and fields without meeting any highways, but to meet wild boars and elks without visiting the Zoo.  For the wild nature fans we will tell about the ecological tours in the countries of Europe, as soon as to spend a week of vacation in a tent in the conditions of world economic crisis may be not only useful and amusing but also rather budgeting. Thus, who can be found in the European forests which seem to be lived-in?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1.	Wild boars in Germany.</strong><br />
The recent couple of years these animals have become a real disaster for the German farmers. Not only those fang creations terminate harvest, they also often break into village houses and even attack people. You don’t need to look for the boars far away, since they can be found even in the gardens and parks of Berlin. However, to hide from civilization and to find the wildest ones you should set for the Central Franconia and walk with a rucksack on the back in the plains of Maine and Danube rivers. Here they can be found everywhere, like deer, and the local beer fans sitting in the tavern and drinking beer, like to tell stories about “Suuuuuuuuch a boar”,  whom they came across just yesterday. There is a chance to add their stories.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-804" title="Wild Boars" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Wild-Boars.jpg" alt="Wild Boars" width="605" height="443" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2.	Killer Whales in Spain.</strong><br />
Not less than the boars of German farmers, aid the fishermen of Andalusia suffer the “touring” whales-killers, significantly lessening the catch of trawlers.  To admire the big sea mammals is possible while travelling along the hunting road of killer whales in Gibraltar bay, which is organized by the Society on protection of whales and dolphins. It is rather a rare performance, despite the fact that any person, who dared to cross the sea, met on his way the whales- killers, whales and dolphins. For the tourists not to suffer from monotony, the organizers of the trip also suggest seeing ancient Roman cities and diving.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-805" title="Killer Whale" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Killer-Whale.jpg" alt="Killer Whale" width="605" height="480" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Elks and beavers in Sweden</strong><br />
There is no place in the world where there are so many elks as in Sweden, and in this “adventure of the day off”  in the Northern woods, experienced representatives of the host country guarantee that the tourist will certainly  see “the king of the forest” in the process of walking. We&#8217;ll say confidently that the guides just attract the elks by the horn, imitating their call. And afterwards, at sunset, they send the holiday-makers to the lake Scarson, in search of beavers. In the tour everything is foreseen to get back to the nature: living in a tent at the shore of the lake, swimming in a quick river, wood chopping for the fire, and berry peaking for the 100 % natural supper. But everything picked by the tourists is carefully checked, before putting into the common bowl.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-806" title="Elks" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Elks.jpg" alt="Elks" width="605" height="387" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-807" title="beavers" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/beavers-.jpg" alt="beavers" width="605" height="398" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Portuguese reptiles</strong><br />
Waterlogged territories and sandy beached at the mouth Sado, which is to the south from Lisbon, swarm with numerous slippery and cold-blooded inhabitants.  Anything can be found here – tuberous Spanish turtles, spiked lizards, marmoreal tadpoles, spotty frogs from the Western Iberia and snakes from Montpelier.  So those who like reptiles will enjoy a visit to these places.  Voles, otters, bats, and polecats inhabit this place, besides – this is one of the best locations in Portugal to observe the birds and dolphins at the coast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-808" title="Reptiles" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Reptiles.jpg" alt="Reptiles" width="605" height="415" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5.  Butterflies in Croatia</strong><br />
Croatia is one of the locations, which has recently become quite popular among the naturalists and numerous groups, organized by the butterfly humane society and amateur entomologists.  Observing those delicate creatures which live on the shores of turquoise lake and waterfalls in Plitvice‎ goes quite well with living in a comfortable hotel as well as sightseeing tours to limestone gorges of Paklenica and to the Velebit Mountains, which are rarely visited by usual tourists.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-809" title="butterfly" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/butterfly.jpg" alt="butterfly" width="606" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6. Biking with bisons in Poland</strong><br />
During a 7-day biking tour through the North-Eastern part of the country, you can see the variety of magnificent European bisons, the population of which was preserved and increased thanks to a significant contribution by the Polish Government.  Tourists spend 3 days in the forests of Białowieża waiting to meet few in number bisons of the Old World.  This forest is all that is left from the once large and wild woods covering the whole continent.  A hike through the animal routes in bison reserve smoothly turns into travel on a flat-boat to the far Nariva swamps, known as Polish Amazon, to the natural habitat of beavers, otters, elks, and martens.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-810" title="Bisons" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Bisons.jpg" alt="Bisons" width="606" height="456" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7. Taking a glance at the puffins in Iceland</strong><br />
Iceland is a country where a variety of sea birds lives.  Try travelling to the Snaefellsnes peninsula where huge colonies of birds nest on the cliffs on the both sides of the peninsula and most of those birds are puffins.  Get to the Miway Lake where geese and ducks live during the nesting season.  It would also be of interest to see the Namaskard geysers and heavy coasts of the arctic Laxa River.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-811" title="puffin" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/puffin.jpg" alt="puffin" width="605" height="382" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8. Dances with Wolves in Spain</strong><br />
About 3000 Spanish wolves inhabit the land with a mysterious name Sierra de Culebra.  It is possible to get closer acquainted with them – while being on a safe distance from them – by being a part of the tour, which is organized by the local wild-nature specialist Julian.  The travelers are accommodated in a rural hotel and are invited in the sunset and sunrise times to fancy the life of the wolf packs, which generally remains hidden from the eyes of the outsiders.  Information about the current location of the pack is received from the forest-guards.  The rest of the time can be spent observing wild boars, foxes and deer, which become a good dinner for the wolves if caught.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-812" title="wolf" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/wolf.jpg" alt="wolf" width="606" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9. Turtle catching at the Azores Islands</strong><br />
From the seven kinds of known in the world sea turtles, 5 were found in the Azores islands. And, of course, the scientists-naturalists from all over the world come here to explore these graceful creatures. To join the exploring expeditions, and to become a real naturalist can also ordinary tourists. The scientific ship sails into the Atlantics, where the travelers guided by experienced scientists set traps for turtles and catch them. And then they measure, stick a label and let them free, as a true scientist should do. At the same time travelers study the routs of migration of turtles and contribute to the saving and keeping of the population. They can also admire the whales and dolphins, which can, also, be seen in the surrounding waters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-813" title="turtle" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/turtle.jpg" alt="turtle" width="605" height="383" /><br />
<strong>10. Observation of marmot in Switzerland.</strong><br />
In summer marmots graze grass on the flood plains of Switzerland. One stays on guard and whistles loudly if sees an eagle, after which the whole company actively gets hidden in the shelter. To watch them in the mountainous national park is rather an amusing thing. Chamois and elks also live there, and vipers live in the forests, so beware!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-814" title="Marmot" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Marmot.jpg" alt="Marmot" width="605" height="382" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-749  aligncenter" title="vacation1" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/vacation1.jpg" alt="vacation1" width="480" height="319" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Carried away by Turkey and Egypt people, somehow, forgot about sanatoriums. However, some time ago people did not at all go to the Red Sea to see the corrals every year, but half million citizens used to go to restore their health. Vacation is, first of all, the time to rest.  According to the data of Russian Public Opinion Research Center, though people travel to foreign resorts, they do not have any rest there, as 65% of questioned admitted. Some of them organize alco- or sex-marathons; the others get exhausted by going to excursions. And they all come home tired, with just one wish, to relax after this kind of “rest”. The tiredness is accumulated during years and brings to serious illnesses. And only 14% confirmed that it was for treatment why they or their relatives went to resort in 2008. The specialists are concerned because during the last decade the ideas of “rest” and “treatment” were confused.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why do people go to foreign beaches more often than to sanatoriums in their countries? Maybe people just forgot what the resort treatment means?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People go to foreign trips for a week or for weekend. It is good if there is no time zone change.  Otherwise, two or three days will be spent to rebuilt and adapt the organism to the new conditions.  It is much more difficult with the treatment &#8211; it is completely useless to go for a weekend.   Many people, perhaps, remember the classical recommendations to rest 21 days, and they sigh with sadness when they think that it is impossible to leave the work for such a long time.  Nowadays, however, due to the modern medical technologies, short-term rehabilitation programs have been worked out, the whole course of treatment can be passed in two weeks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-750  aligncenter" title="vacation2" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/vacation2.jpg" alt="vacation2" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After arriving at an Egyptian resort or going for a tour along Europe, tourists rush to see, try, and feel everything as much as they can, literally regardless of their own health. Really, as soon as they have come to such a far place, it is necessary to manage to see all the palaces of interests, castles, museums, bawdy places, to taste all the exotic delicacies and to try all the local alcoholic drinks. As to the sanatorium, here everything is done according to the strict prescription of the doctor: procedures, the diet – no excesses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, some perfectionists even in medical places try to load themselves “in full measure”. As doctors tell, they often have to come across with individuals, claiming: I want everything and at once, having in mind that everything is paid. Why to overload the organism with unnecessary procedures – is not clear.  Doctors remind of the old truth: medicine in big doses becomes a poison.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not many people go for a trip alone. It is habitual to join into a big company of friends or at least take a crowd of relatives, starting with the mother-in-law. But for those people who are engaged in work, vacation is the only time to meet with the wife and children. By the way doctors recommend going for treatment without any company. Then you will not have to invent every hour, where to leave your child during the procedures, or to think every moment how to keep the child busy. Treatment is also working. If there is much time left in the sanatorium for meeting your relatives, then you do something in a wrong way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-751  aligncenter" title="vacation3" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/vacation3.jpg" alt="vacation3" width="300" height="398" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not many people can afford a vacation abroad (according to the data of different questionnaires, only a little percent of the world population rest abroad). All aware Russian Public Opinion Research Center states, that the overwhelming majority of citizens explain it by shortage of money and time. Sanatoriums are ignored on the same reason. So far a part of sanatoriums are funded at the account of federal budget, and the only thing for which the state workers, who were lucky to get a permit, must pay is the fare. A big part of places in sanatoriums is also bought by big commercial companies, which pay for their workers 50-80, sometimes even all the 100% of the price of their rest. Of course, sometimes not all the workers are aware of this opportunity, and they are not always able to achieve getting the due permit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">France, Check Republic and many other countries give a lot of opportunities for getting treatment: there is no shortage in muds and mineral waters there. Then, what to choose?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The main thing for which one should be ready is the problem of language. To overcome it will be much more difficult if a man came to get treatment, but not to travel. In the best case the patient will have an interpreter (by the way, not always a qualified one), in the worst case the holiday-maker himself should master a foreign language at the level of an interpreter for a soap opera “Doctor House”: the doctor will have to be explained the shades of physical state, told about the complaints from the anamnesis and those which will appear while getting the treatment. If your attitude to the health is serious then you can&#8217;t do without the knowledge of language.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-752  aligncenter" title="on_vacation" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/on_vacation.jpg" alt="on_vacation" width="360" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The other problem of the treatment abroad is the change of climate. If the climate at your motherland is thought to be terrible and not good for life, your organism will get used to it. Even a positive change will be an additional stress for the organism. Thus, sometimes it is better to pay attention to the sanatoriums, situated in your area, than to long for expensive complexes abroad.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among the advantages in foreign sanatoriums the high level of service is mentioned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">You have already got acquainted with the list of things you do not need in vacation, though they always manage to make their way into our suit-cases.  Now let’s see what should be in the luggage of every person, no matter if he is going to the civilized Europe or the Amazon jungle. If you are an experienced traveler then perhaps these pieces of advice may seem trivial to you, but the main part of beginner travelers goes on vacation stuffing their suit-cases with unnecessary rubbish while leaving the most important things at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>1.	Cash</strong><br />
Of course, no one goes on vacation without money, but many people started to rely too much on the bank cards without realizing that they too have their shortcomings.<br />
The card can be swallowed by an ATM, it can be lost or if a shop assistant in some indigenous shop performs an illegal operation then the card is immediately blocked.  Besides, a fairly good amount of cash may be required in the airport, border control staff may ask you to show cash on the basis of approximately 50 euro for every day you plan to stay.  The fact that you have already been checked for the financial sustainability by the Consulate is not considered by them and a statement from the bank will not do either – only cash.  And of course, besides large notes it is sensible to have smaller change with which one can pay for WCs, buy a chocolate-bar from a machine, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-696  aligncenter" title="cash_1" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cash_1.jpg" alt="cash_1" width="380" height="348" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>2.	Credit Card</strong><br />
Yes, even though you have taken with you a significant amount of cash, credit card would not be out of place.  Using it has a number of advantages: you’ll save on the currency exchange, you won’t have carry lots of coins in your pockets, which you will not be able to exchange later on.  The only precaution would be to get a credit card specifically for the travel and not to pay with the one, which you generally use and get your salary to, because there is a high number of fraud cases with plastic cards in the developing countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-697  aligncenter" title="credit-card" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/credit-card.jpg" alt="credit-card" width="425" height="380" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>3.	Copies of all documents</strong><br />
This is something that everyone leaving abroad is told and nevertheless the Consulates constantly have to deal with tourists who have absolutely no ID.  Let’s repeat this one more time: before you travel make copies of all documents and tickets and carry them with you while leaving the originals in the safe of the hotel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-698  aligncenter" title="Passport" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Passport.jpg" alt="Passport" width="300" height="356" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>4.	Swiss army knife</strong><br />
A small pen-knife will be of use not only while hiking but also in a five-star hotel.  It can be used in a number of cases – peeling fruits, opening a bottle of wine, clipping nails and even tightening the screws on your suit-case.  Generally speaking – this is a very useful thing.  It is much more useful than an iron or a small boiler.  Only make sure you don’t put it in your carry-on luggage otherwise the security personnel at the airport may mistake you for a terrorist.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-699  aligncenter" title="swiss_army_knife" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/swiss_army_knife.jpg" alt="swiss_army_knife" width="480" height="407" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>5.	First-aid kit</strong><br />
It’s not worth putting the all the medicaments you have at home into your suit-case but some medicaments should be taken by all means.  Abroad you can only buy aspirin and vitamins without prescription.  A standard set of medicaments for vacation generally contains activated charcoal/carbon, No-Spa, Aspirin, stomach pills and band-aids.  And of course if you have any chronic illnesses then don’t forget to take all the necessary pills as well.  It is not worth taking antibiotics though, if you get sick enough to need them it is better to use your travel insurance and visit a doctor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-701  aligncenter" title="mini_car_first_aid_kit" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/mini_car_first_aid_kit.jpg" alt="mini_car_first_aid_kit" width="280" height="280" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>6.	Good telephone</strong><br />
Many of us, beware of skilled indigenous pickpockets, leave their expensive mobile telephones home and take an old Siemens C35, which they’ve kept for a long time, so that they do not get upset if it is lost.  But it is not possible to access internet from this phone while internet access even with a very expensive roaming can be very useful while travelling.  Finding a free Wi-Fi abroad is generally not an issue especially in Western Europe.  Thus if you have a good telecommunication tool you can find out what the weather forecast looks like, check the departure timetable, read about possible sightseeing tours and save on expensive international calls by simply sending an ICQ message to your family .  There is no need to mention that the GPS navigation is also quite useful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-702  aligncenter" title="D300B_ZT780_dual_sim_card_dual_standby_mobile_phone_good_quality_mobile_phone" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/D300B_ZT780_dual_sim_card_dual_standby_mobile_phone_good_quality_mobile_phone.jpg" alt="D300B_ZT780_dual_sim_card_dual_standby_mobile_phone_good_quality_mobile_phone" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>7.	Adaptor 220V</strong><br />
Not everyone pays attention to the fact that there can be a different standard of electrical sockets in the country of your travel and you will not be able to plug in your mobile telephone charger into a British socket even with the help of your Swiss pen-knife.  Therefore, it is important that you buy an adaptor in advance as afterwards you may be looking for hours for it in an unfamiliar city.  Anyway if you have run into the problem of adapting your mobile telephone charger to the socket it is the best to start enquiring upon an adaptor at the reception of your hotel.  They may have it or at least they will be able to give you a hint as to where to look for one.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-703  aligncenter" title="adaptor" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/adaptor.jpg" alt="adaptor" width="400" height="386" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>8.	Laptop</strong><br />
The necessity of a laptop in travel is an arguable question.  On one hand it makes your luggage heavier and does not let your eyes, which are already tired from work, to rest.  On the other hand it is extremely useful in travels.  It keeps you entertained on board of the plane and in case the weather is bad you can watch a movie.  Besides that, it is much more convenient to access Internet with the help of your laptop rather than mobile phone.  In fact, it has only one disadvantage – its weight.  But if you travel often then you can buy a compact and a cheap netbook.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-704  aligncenter" title="mini-laptop" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/mini-laptop.jpg" alt="mini-laptop" width="500" height="449" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>9.	Guidebook</strong><br />
To take a guidebook with you or not is also a difficult question.  If you like following the standard tourist routes then by all means it makes sense to save a room in your suitcase for a thin book with the description of the places of interest.  If you are a well-experience traveler and prefer getting acquainted with the city in your own way then the guidebook is an extra weight for you.  In any case buying a guidebook is not an issue practically in any city of touristic significance in Europe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-705  aligncenter" title="guidebooks" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/guidebooks.jpg" alt="guidebooks" width="268" height="268" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>10.	Common sense</strong><br />
Mainly our compatriots leave their heads at home when travelling.  Of all mentioned things above this is probably the most important one.  If you have a head on your shoulders and everything is fine with your common sense then independent from what you have left at home and what you have taken with you your trip would be just great.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The air companies constantly decrease the allowed size and the weight of the luggage, as to the size of the allowed hand-luggage; they try to reduce it to the size of a wallet. However, it does not stop the travelers. If we reconsider our settled views on usual things, it will turn out that we take with us a lot of items with dubbing each other functions, which means that half the unnecessary for the vacation goods and chattels can easily be thrown out of the luggage, and the suit-case can be packed without any problem, according to the requirements of the most fault-finding air companies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-667  aligncenter" title="luggage1" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/luggage1.jpg" alt="luggage1" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-660" title="Shampoo" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Shampoo.jpg" alt="Shampoo" width="230" height="172" />Shampoo<br />
Despite the fact that the majority of hotels leave a bar of soap, shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom for their customers, travelers prefer to act according to the principle “All my belongings I take with me”.  Of course, this point of view has the right to exist, but try to judge yourselves, why to take all the washing sources with you if just one bottle of shampoo can excellently solve the functions of washing head, body and even shorts and socks. The latter, by the way will smell much more pleasant. And at the end of the trip, throwing out the empty bottle, you will vacate a place for souvenirs in your suit-case.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-661" title="Dental floss" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Dental-floss.jpg" alt="Dental floss" width="230" height="172" />Dental floss<br />
Besides its straight function – to clean the inter-dental space, the floss will serve a good service as an instrument to cut products. Of course, it will hardly handle with the smoked sausage, yet, the cheese and bread will be cut perfectly. But do not buy the floss with mint flavor! Not everyone will like such taste in food. Besides that, double –folded floss is strong enough to hold such light items washed with shampoo as shorts and socks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-662" title="Sarong" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Sarong.jpg" alt="Sarong" width="230" height="172" />Sarong<br />
Even in case you are not a follower of ethnic style in clothes, having this kind of thing in the luggage is not superfluous. Besides its main function- protection from wind and sun- this item may also be used for other purposes. First, as a towel, because the fabric it is made of absorbs humidity very well and at the same time it dries quickly. Secondly, sarong can be used as a mat for a picnic or a sheet if you have to stay in a cheap hostel. Thirdly, hanged on the same dental floss in the room it can be an excellent way to screen off the people.  And at last if to tie the corners of sarong it will become a wonderful bowl for shopping in the supermarket, for example.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Raincoat <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-663" title="raincoat" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/raincoat.jpg" alt="raincoat" width="230" height="172" /><br />
One more irreplaceable thing to take with you for a trip is a raincoat. To use it to hide from rain is more convenient than to use an umbrella, since hands remain free and not only can you hide under it but also your precious camera and rucksack. In addition you can perfectly lie on it even on the wet grass, or it can be stretched under a sleeping bag, if you, sometimes, like to sleep under the starry sky.  The bag in which the raincoats are usually sold is also made of waterproof material which can sometimes be useful not only for the raincoat to be put inside, but also to pack a wet bathing costume or towel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-664" title="pin" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/pin.jpg" alt="pin" width="230" height="172" />English pin<br />
Take care to have this necessary thing or several of them in you luggage, together with the usual needle and thread. First, of all the pin can perfectly be used as a clothes-peg (taking comparatively smaller place!), if you decide   to hang your clothes in the wind. Secondly, it will be a good replacement for the button which suddenly cut of. Thirdly, fastening with it the flap of rucksack or a pocket with money inside, you will complicate the problem for pickpockets, who like to “gather tribute” in crowded tourist places. Fourthly, a rather big pin can be used as an awl, if necessary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Swiss army knife<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-665" title="knife" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/knife.jpg" alt="knife" width="230" height="172" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The only shortcoming of this item may be the necessity to register it in luggage. In the rest- the knife consists of advantages only. The main function that the instrument has to perform should be just the presence of knife, opener, corkscrew, scissors, screwdriver (with different nozzles), an awl and tweezers. The other additional capacity like a flashlight, compass or thermometer can be looked at as pleasant but not obligatory bonus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-666" title="1249448947_0874.230x172.76744186" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1249448947_0874.230x172.76744186.jpg" alt="1249448947_0874.230x172.76744186" width="230" height="172" />Instrument in the form of credit card<br />
One more small but extremely functional item made of stainless steel can excellently be placed in any wallet at the place of credit card. Its sharpened side will perfectly function as a not big knife.  With its corner in the form of screwdriver can be drawn not very tightly turned screws, and with its slit – screws and bolts of four most often used sizes. The openers can open not only bottles but also cans. The saw will help to saw off small branches for a fire.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In any case, when going on a vocation or hiking, have a new look at your luggage and refuse the idea of taking a separate item for each purpose.  This is the way you can spare some place in your luggage and your energy and time which otherwise will be spent to pack unnecessary goods and chattels and also the thought “haven&#8217;t I forgotten anything”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It will be quite some time, and beaches of Turkey and Spain, as well as other expensive and not very expensive seaside resorts will be covered with bodies with sunburns. Although from a rational point of view to explain the desire of most travellers to go on a voyage in July-August, is possible only from the point of view of childhood summer holidays. Other reasonable arguments can not be found for the «rest» during the hottest months of summer in the crowded hotel. Instead reasons for off-season travel are multiple; also considering the fact that the manager will let a staff member on vacation during the off-season with great pleasure. So, we offer 10 reasons to go on a vacation during the off-season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Hotel prices of popular seaside resorts are subject to strong seasonal fluctuations. Prices begin to rise in late May to early June, peak in early August and gradually decline from late September &#8211; early October. Leaving for a vacation not at peak times, you can easily save 30-40% on accommodation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-302  aligncenter" title="turkey-beach" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/turkey-beach.png" alt="turkey-beach" width="545" height="407" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Every summer, news editions deliver to us echoes of the regular scandals related to the fact that tourists were not provided with rooms in the pre-booked and paid hotels. And airlines sometimes sin of overbooking when selling tickets. If you go on vacation with no crowds of roamers, then there would be practically no accommodation problems and there will still be a chance to sleep peacefully the whole flight, retiring to the back part of the plane and spreading out on unoccupied seats.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. As the occupation of hotels in the off-season ranges from 20-40%, to get a good room without additional charge, or for a reasonable reward for the administrator at the reception, will be much easier. While in the “hot season” it is likely to live in a room with a view to the local laundry, or the adjacent building site.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-303" title="spain-lovers-beach-wallpapers_494_1152" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/spain-lovers-beach-wallpapers_494_1152-1024x767.jpg" alt="spain-lovers-beach-wallpapers_494_1152" width="553" height="414" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Few of even the most cautious and dark-complexioned travellers could avoid sunburn, going to a resort in the middle of the season. The need to think about timely appliance of suntan lotion, early rises after a tumultuous night of fun, to catch a dose of ultraviolet radiation, and at the same time not to be burnt under strong midday sun, could overshadow the pleasure of relaxation. Meanwhile, in the spring and late fall solar activity is declining, and it is much safer to be in the sun, the tan spreads more evenly, and you can make long walks on deserted beaches not fearing to suffer from burns or overheating afterwards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. Most consider travelling, not only as a way to get rid of work, but also as an opportunity to change the surroundings. However a resort packed with tourists, is not so very different from an overcrowded megalopolis in psychological terms, because, as in the city, there is virtually no possibility of privacy. Going to rest in the off-season, you can avoid queues for scrambled eggs for breakfast and the struggle for a free sun-bed on the beach. In addition, people prone to excessive consumption of alcohol generally have stereotyped thinking and prefer to go on vacation “like all”, during the summer. And parents with whimsical shrieking sons, or worse, violent teenagers of puberty age take out their offspring to the sea in summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-304  aligncenter" title="3451139507_02d3988f3e" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/3451139507_02d3988f3e.jpg" alt="3451139507_02d3988f3e" width="500" height="325" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">6. To take good pictures of loved ones without at least a dozen strangers on them, would not be even possible. Waiting for the right moment to take a picture without including impostors, is annoying to the photographer, whose thoughts are not so busy as how to lodge the object from the best angle, and to the model who is annoyed with a long stay in a graceful pose.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">7. To go on an excursion at a time when the temperature is 35-40 degrees outside, is practically impossible. An air-conditioned bus saves exactly to the moment when, after an early rise and a few hours on wheels, arrived at the destination at the height of midday heat, you do not have to leave it. Being among  many tourists, roaming on the hot rocks next to some acropolis, one immediately wants to escape back into the coolness of the cab, and never leave it again. And that is if you do not take into account the fact that another couple of hundred people want to look at the ancient ruins at the same time with you. Another thing when you can slowly walk alone in the long-abandoned cool streets of the ancient city and to imagine yourself in the place of its inhabitants.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-305" title="boracay_white_beach_jan-31-2006_dsc00666-900" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/boracay_white_beach_jan-31-2006_dsc00666-900.jpg" alt="boracay_white_beach_jan-31-2006_dsc00666-900" width="540" height="405" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">8. Active natures, who do not imagine their vacation without sports, should preferable choose to leave in the spring or autumn months. First, small chances to find that the best time to rent a court or a golf course is scheduled for two weeks in advance, secondly, the cool weather extends the time range for comfortable playing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">9. Women who are careful about their appearance are well aware that the majority of spa treatments carried out in hot climate are not only unhelpful, but even harmful. This is particularly true of face-care procedures. A course of rejuvenation will be much more effective if it is taken when the sun does not burn, but only gently warms the skin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">10. Finally, spring weather is beautiful in any country. Even in Turkey, where visitors can hear constant complaints about the fact that natural beauties can be observed only from the hotel. In late April &#8211; early May, the scorching heat has not yet dried all vegetation, and landscapes of Turkish towns are pleasing with fresh grass, curly vine on the walls and gay colours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-176" title="travel1" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/travel14.jpg" alt="travel1" width="230" height="345" />Many words are  said in the online discussions about how and where to   rest:  on a beach in Turkey, or with bicycles in Vietnam, in comfortable Europe or at the North Pole, taking a cruise alone or choose a savage rest in a tent with the whole family. Despite heated debate, mainly different kinds of vocations do not interfere with each other: lovers  of   cruise peacefully sunbathe on the upper deck, and “savage” vocation lovers happily move from bus to bus in Cambodia, drinking local drinks with local residents at least.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All the tourists, sooner or later, peacefully get on &#8211; with one single exception. Vacationers can  not   live with  groups of children. We don’t mean specialized camps, where the energy of toddlers and teenagers deliberately drive into a peaceful track, fenced to the same high fence. And not about the “lucky”, encumbered by one or two Orthodox or Catholic family with many children, or “lucky” people, who tried to escape in the long-awaited vacation to spend it in the bosom of their families.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is much worse when the a group of children goes for a  journey for knowledge and health. The students, separated from the school and parental authority  are  ready   for all to make and earn the respect of fellow stand out and earn the respect of friends. Alas, in such a young age respect gets not  the one who knows more, or the most efficient, but the one who shouts the loudest of all, spits beyond all and whose leprosy affect most people around him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The administration of airlines and hotels is well aware of this feature. That is why, in the regulation of transportation it is most often recorded, that 10-12 students must be accompanied by at least one teacher. Because teacher can not handle the large number of teenagers. And the more young the children are the difficult it is to control the group. Airlines are ready to make the schools comply with these rules: recently in the UK an aircraft dropped a group of schoolchildren, where there were only 2 teachers with 28 students. The students wanted to go on an excursion to Venice, but in Bristol they were first allowed on board, but then landed from the plane because of a lack of maintenance. And neither contacting the tour operator, nor to the administration of the airport did not give any result.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-177" title="travel2" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/travel28.jpg" alt="travel2" width="230" height="172" />A lot of scandals   happen   every summer, due to the fact that students are not allowed to live in the hotels mentioned by  the  operators, or because tour agencies are required  to pay for the placement of children, and often pay for a broken equipment by teams that previous visited the hotel! Of course, many parents think that children are defenseless babies and can do nothing while they are abroad, so they become easy prey to unscrupulous operators. Share there is a little truth in this. There are many scammers among the travel agents and tour operators.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is practically impossible to  imagine  a couple jumping on the bed, checking its strength, or fighting on the beach umbrella, but for students it is  rather a  rule than an  exception. So imagine the amount of damage from recreational teams for children in the hotel and how many hotels in general agrees to let a group of schoolchildren. As well as the questionable pleasure of rest of the tourists, who accidentally found themselves in the same hotel. Especially if it is Turkish or Egyptian, and even Bulgarian all-inclusive. At the hotel (often tiny ones, as big and luxurious do not take in students) you can not escape groups of noisy young people. Especially during the summer holidays, when young people travel without their parents, they can have fun all night long. Most often, young people do all the same no matter how old they are &#8211; ten or sixteen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, high qualities are rarely brought up now in the younger generation, and compared with the behavior of schoolchildren grow dim, even for infants and tricks of kinder garden children for  so annoyed tourists coming to relax from work and family. So everyone who goes on a vacation, should first check the hotel: there is a possibility that the travel agency you chose has just become a new venue for children&#8217;s camp.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-38" title="travel2" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/travel2.jpg" alt="travel2" width="230" height="153" />You  go  travelling, not only to relax, but also to eventually spend time with your family to pursue a favorite cause, to  learn a foreign language or take a few lessons from the masters from Karate. In addition, there is more free time you can devote to  your figure. Here are a few ideas where to go to lose weight.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Give  yourself  to the professionals<br />
The most obvious way is to attend a special program in SPA-center hotels, and spend time moving between the gym, fitness room and massage room. Various wraps and baths are also welcome. In many there are hotels, organizing special courses of treatment for those who wish to shed a few kilos, which include low-calorie menus and thoughtful consultation with specialists. The main drawback of these proposals  is their high cost. If there  is  excess weight , but there is no extra money, you can find opportunities to grow thin cheaper.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everything on wheels!<br />
You   will  certainly  be able to lose weight, if you travel to the excursion by bus or rent a car and a bicycle. If you are a beginner, and you  are  not sure of the strength, it is better to choose Switzerland for the rest. In this country they have everything for the fans of cycling: a very detailed and clearly marked routes of varying degrees of complexity, organized by service delivery of baggage to the next destination (the tourist will not have to carry a heavy backpack). There are many trains  for  tired cyclists train, equipped with special areas for two vehicles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Breaking dietary habits<br />
Those who used to dwell at each shop with pies and counters with hotdogs, it is useful to go, for example, to India or Shri Lanka, where coconuts are literally falling into the hands. Instead of the customary baking at every corner selling low-calorie full of vitamins pineapples, ripe fragrant mango and sweet banana. You will be able to  change the habitual diet and fast «lunch» on the fly,  and  not to  catch  extra kilograms. This dietary supplement, rice, which is popular among the local population has lead to the desired results, and almost no impact on the wallet as everything  is   very cheap in  these countries  .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-39" title="travel-1" src="http://www.travelvivi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/travel-1.jpg" alt="travel-1" width="230" height="150" />Without a means of livelihood<br />
There is another way to lose weight &#8211; a very radical, suitable one, only for the desperate or the most desperate persons. You need to go on vacation, taking the least money. Of course, it is assumed that you do not select a hotel that runs under the system of «all inclusive». The regime of austerity will not make the rest of the journey from restaurant to restaurant and make walking more to save on tickets for public transport. Think of a lack of money, not as tragedy but as a game. In fact, in many countries there is a lot of free entertainment, and walks among the most useful types of physical activity. Fortunately, now there  are  many ways to get money quickly: relatives  may put them in a bank account to your credit card or use one of the international payment systems. Only civilized country would have to choose, where there is no problem in obtaining the amount deposited.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Full Extreme<br />
The most daring and effective option would be to go with a minimum of food to the uninhabited island: learning to survive, obtain food on  your  own, fish, gather berries. Of course, to  obtain the complete disposal of one of the tropical island is quite problematic, so the role of uninhabited land can play a Russian forest. This option is even preferable, because your  organism does not need to acclimatize, faced with unfamiliar viruses and bacteria. Two or three weeks in the forest wilderness &#8211; and your body will not be  recognized!</p>
