The Vice Guide to Travel – Philippines Jeepneys Part 1

To see Part 2 go to: www.vbs.tv In case you’re a little fuzzy on your South Pacific history, here’s a quick little primer on the complex state of Filipino-American relations in the early 40s from a fresh Swedish perspective: Americans wanted back what they rightfully owned by purchase, so they gathered a bunch of Filipino troops and chased out the Japanese. This was just a couple of months before a little device called The Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, thus ending WWII and warfare as it was known up until that point. A couple years later they decided/were forced to jam. Apart from the kids born out of soldierly love, the Americans also left their army supplies behind. It would have been more expensive to bring it back home, and anyways war as they knew it was over so who gave a hoot, right? Among the stuff they left floating around were the infamous Willys Jeeps. Even if you’re a girl or hate the History Channel, if you’ve only ever seen one war movie or flipped past an episode of M*A*S*H you know exactly which vehicle I’m talking about. Metro Manila, with its estimated 18 million inhabitants, is a transportation nightmare the likes of which my spoiled Swedish brain cannot even begin to wrap itself around. I’ll start getting mad at “the city” when it takes 20 minutes to take the train across town, but who do you get mad at when there are millions of busted down old Toyotas and overloaded scooters between you and the other side of the city? Apparently, if you’re Filipino …

Claiming on Your Insurance Part 3: Travel Insurance

Claiming on Your Insurance Part 3: Travel Insurance

Everyone knows what insurance is, and how to get it. But what do you do with when you’ve got it? If you had to make a claim, would you know what to do? This 3 part guide covers what to do in the event of a claim, finishing with travel insurance.

Travel Insurance

If you’re ill on holiday, you may be dismayed at the price of treatment. Buying paracetamol or Imodium for an upset tummy isn’t a cause for a claim, but if you’re ill to the point of needing hospitalisation or a doctor’s assistance, it can be costly. This is especially true if you’re holidaying in the US or Canada as medical treatment is more expensive there.

You will probably need to pay for the medical expenses out of your own pocket and claim them back upon your return home. If so, it’s imperative that you keep all receipts, paperwork and photographic evidence (in the case of injuries etc), so your insurer will have a full and accurate picture of the situation. You could contact your insurer immediately while you’re away but this, unlike with other types of claim, isn’t absolutely necessary. Waiting until you’re back home is fine provided you have the required evidence.

Travel insurance also covers loss of luggage, and theft of belongings while on holiday. If either of these happen you will need to inform your insurer right away, and the police if theft is the issue. Again, you will need copies of all paperwork and police reports to provide evidence to your insurer. You will also need to prepare statements detailing what measures you took to prevent the problem (using a hotel safe, labelling your luggage etc). If it’s seen you were negligible, for example you left your bag on the beach unattended while you went for a swim, your claim will be rejected.

Your travel insurance policy may also be invalid if you omit details of a condition which you later need to claim for. When applying for holiday insurance you need to be honest, even if it means you cannot get cheap travel insurance.

Fire Aftermath on our way to Chute Lake Resort . Our videos are seen all over the world with UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy being in the top 10. If you have never been to Canada the first thing to consider is it’s immense size, it takes us longer to fly from the Okanagan to Toronto then from Toronto to the Caribbean! Canada is huge, perhaps to show the size and all the different regions Cindy and I might start a cross Canada drive to show how diverse this land is. From BC to Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec this would be a long road trip. This video was taken in May 2010 on the way up to Chute Lake, approx. 25km from Kelowna. The whole area was devestaded in 2003 by the Okanagan Mountain Fire which had more than 25000 people evacuated from Kelowna as hundreds of homes went up in flames. The aftermath of the fires is visible and a reminder that the new fire season is already here. The forests are dry and right for wildfires. Something to keep in mind if planning a trip to this area is that camping and other access to the forests and campsites is restricted during fire outbreaks, it can be a dangerous situation especially if you are not from here and familiar with the back-roads.

Making Air Travel A Breeze: Part 3 – Enjoying The Ride

Making Air Travel A Breeze: Part 3 – Enjoying The Ride

So, you’ve made it through security and are ready to get your vacation under way. Unfortunately, you still have a long flight to sit through. Yet, flying doesn’t have to be a miserable experience – even if you are traveling with children. Here are some travel tips to help your whole family enjoy your time in the air.

As “airline food” isn’t exactly a mouthwatering phrase, it is a good idea to pack some food in your carry-on bag. While it may be difficult to pack an entire meal, there are plenty of healthy snacks that can fight your hunger. Start with healthy items like dried fruit and granola. If you are looking for a little more protein, add some jerky to your bag. If you have plenty of healthy options in your bag, you can more easily resist the urge to munch on the less-healthy fare aboard the flight.

Keep in mind that the air inside of airplane cabins is always very dry. As a result, you might experience a thirst that can’t be quenched by the irregular, less than generous drink service. An extra bottle of water or juice in your carry-on bag can go a long ways towards eliminating this discomfort.

If you are one of the many who experience motion sickness, consider taking a pill before boarding the plane. For international flights to the Caribbean or elsewhere, a motion sickness medication may also help you to sleep through much of the flight, allowing you to awake rested and relaxed at your destination.

You have to try your best to relax. Everyone has a different outlet for relaxation, so here is a list of activities to keep your stress at a minimum – whatever your interests may be:

• If you have a laptop computer, you can easily listen to music, watch DVDs or even get some work done. Just make sure you charge your batteries before flying.

• While MP3 players are nice, you don’t need the newest gadget to zone out airplane noise. You can plug noise-canceling headphones into any type of portable music player.

• Books and magazines are great ways to pass the time. If you find the noise irritating, you could even put on noise-canceling headphones without music and eliminate most distractions.

• Simple games like crosswords and sudokus can alleviate stress and exercise your mind.

One of the best tips for air travel with children is to secure seats in the front row of the cabin. In the front row of seats, your family will be granted some extra space and privacy – luxuries that are especially helpful when flying with infants or toddlers. If you have toddlers, you should also find it easier to let your children play, stretch or wander a little at the front of the aircraft.

When flying with children internationally, most travel professionals recommend non-stop flights. Non-stop flights can be helpful as they allow your children to sleep uninterrupted and prevent potentially stressful hours of flight changes. Additionally, your kids will certainly be happy to arrive at your vacation destination as soon as possible. However, there are some benefits to taking breaks between flights. For instance, if you are flying to the Caribbean from the northern U.S., your children might become impatient on such a long flight. With a brief layover in a southern city, you can relieve some of your family’s stress from being cooped up for a whole day. A break between flights will also allow you to pick up snacks and drinks, while your children can stretch and walk around freely for a little while.

You should also make sure that you pack all the things your children might need in a carry-on bag. This includes everything from food and medications to extra clothing and a blanket. Older children will probably be entertained by many of the items on the adult list above, but also consider packing items like stuffed animals and art materials. You should try to avoid toys with small parts – such as board games, building blocks and model kits – and your child’s noisier playthings.

If all else fails, just remind your family that you are all en route to a wonderful Caribbean vacation.

Making Air Travel A Breeze: Part 1 – Finding The Right Deal

Making Air Travel A Breeze: Part 1 – Finding The Right Deal

You have probably seen plenty of commercials for websites and travel services promising the lowest prices on airfare. While many of these advertised services can be helpful, many only scratch the surface. The key to finding the best air travel deals and packages is always research. This article will outline the best sources for discount airfare based on different types of travel agendas. You might be surprised to learn about all of the services you’ve missed – and the fact that travel agents can still come in handy! After the discussion of sources for discount airfare, you will also find some helpful tips for securing the best tickets, regardless of your travel plans.

When starting your search for airfare it certainly never hurts to look at sites like Expedia.com and Travelocity.com, but those who understand the ins and outs of discount air travel never stop here. If you have a set date and location, professionals recommend using aggregator websites. These web services search hundreds of online travel sites for the best deals on airfare, often picking up deals that the popular travel sites miss. These sites include:

• Mobissimo.com
• Kayak.com
• Sidestep.com
• Farechase.com

If you know where and when you are flying but need to find tickets for the next two weeks, try site59.com. This website offers travel packages on short notice and oftentimes you can find hotel and airfare package deals that beat the price of traditional plane tickets alone.

If your travel dates are flexible within a 3-day range, use Kayak.com’s unique search feature. However, if your dates are flexible within a month range, use Farecast.com, Farecompare.com and Travelocity.com. All of these sites feature search engines that can generate the best possible rates over a 30-day period.

If you are truly a flexible traveler and are open to multiple locations, several sites offer rate searches based on your point of origin. For instance, if you want to go to Mexico and don’t mind if you end up in Puerto Vallarta or Cancun, these searches can save you plenty of money. In addition to the aforementioned Mobissimo.com and Farecast.com, other services that allow multiple location comparison searches include Farewatch.com and AirfareWatchdog.com.

Another useful internet tool for finding affordable airfare is the price history search offered by Farecompare.com, Farecast.com and Kayak.com. With this function, you will be able to compare current rates with previous deals to help you determine when to pull the trigger on a price.

Another great option is a site like Travelzoo.com that gathers all of the best advertised deals. While you can’t book your airfare directly through such websites, these services work directly with airlines and travel providers to publish the best prices on a daily basis.

While travel agents may seem like a thing of the past, they still possess a number of distinct advantages. Unlike websites, a call to travel agent connects you to someone who knows the airline system and can find special deals and flights that other services miss. For instance, travel agents often work with consolidators – companies that sell heavily discounted airfare. As consolidators don’t sell to the public, many incredible deals are only available to travel agents. Furthermore, if you have specific needs – such as a complicated itinerary, special requests for accommodations or simply aren’t comfortable making preparations online – a travel agent can be indispensable.

Now that you know where to look for airfare deals, here are a few more tips to ensure that you always get the best price:

• Start looking for deals on airfare as soon as you start planning your vacation, because more time to search means a better chance of finding the best price.

• If you have searched rates for awhile and a good price becomes available, reserve your seats immediately.

• If you are traveling within the U.S., check the websites for JetBlue and Southwest Airlines. These low-cost carriers usually don’t show up in the travel search engines.

• Many travel professional now recommend buying tickets directly through airline websites, rather than sites like Orbitz.com and Expedia.com. Most airlines now guarantee the lowest rates on their own sites and you will be able to avoid the service charges of the travel sites. Additionally, if anything goes wrong on your vacation, your airline will be more willing to work with you if your ticket was purchased directly.
