Maybe you are planning a romantic weekend, or possibly, you are going on a long business trip. Perhaps you are jetting off on your Honeymoon or maybe you’ve rented a dreamy chalet in the snow? Wherever you are jet-setting off to – make sure that you pack your adult toys well to avoid any embarrassing (and possibly very public) situations.

So, how do you pack adult toys? Firstly, you need to remove the batteries. Even if you feel that your vibrator is difficult to turn on, a little shift in the contents of your luggage could easily knock the control to the ON position. You really don’t want to have to explain what is vibrating in your luggage to security personnel or customs officers. Dildos pose less of a problem in this respect because they are normally made of silicone / jelly / rubber and have no metal or mechanical parts.

Place your dildos or vibrators in clear plastic baggies. Airport personnel routinely check-through passengers’ luggage so if you’re chosen at random for a luggage inspection, you’ll be glad your toys are zip-locked away. Customs staff wear plastic gloves, but you really don’t want their gloves, which have been touching everyone else’s personal items, to touch your intimate toys too. Do the employees and yourself a favour by putting each item in a clear plastic zip baggie to keep everything hygienic.

Always place your vibrators in your checked luggage. This just removes you from the situation a little bit. If you bring a vibrator in your carry-on luggage, well, you are just asking for an embarrassing situation to occur.

Bear in mind also that vibrators are not permitted in certain countries – especially if they are shaped like a phallus. If you take one in your checked-in luggage – you may have to go through the red channel and declare it – and it may be confiscated. One such country where ‘obscene items’ are illegal is Thailand. There, you might get away with importing a traditional slimline vibrator and pass it off as a ‘massager’ for your bad back – however, if your vibe is penis-shaped, expect that it will be confiscated!

In the USA, Texan customs officers will not be sympathetic if you arrive with a suitcase full of vibes – to own more than three such ‘marital aids’ is currently illegal in that state. Therefore, do a quick Google check of what the laws are in the particular state or country you are travelling to.

Finally, don’t travel with your favourite vibe or with your top of the range most-expensive toy. It is best that you take along an inexpensive alternative or buy something completely new especially for the trip. At sites like LoveTheRabbit.com you’ll find many bunny vibrator articles, information, raves and reviews and links to stores that stock them.

This way, if your luggage is lost, or your strap-on dildo confiscated or if your vibe breaks in transit – you will not have lost your favourite ‘friend’ or your most expensive toy. Bon voyage!

I recently came back from a weeks self catering Dorset.  We had decided that rather than inspecting the beaches of the Spanish coast, I would keep our cash, take a chance on the British atmospheric conditions and go to the pleasant sands of Dorset.  It seems as if I was not the only person because Bournemouth beach was full and with every thing the county of Dorset has on provide, it is no surprise.

Bournemouth and Poole are really interesting parts of Dorset to visit but the area has so a great deal more to offer.  There were a wide variety of sights and sounds and areas to visit.  My favourites of the various tourist destinations would have to be Compton Acres, Tower Park and Sandbanks beach.  I had such a pleasant time at all these destinations and would extremely recommend them to fellow travellers.

This was one of the reasons I made up one’s mind that my family and I would go on holiday in a holiday cottage in Dorset instead of a hotel.  This meant we were able to holiday in a house where we felt comfy and available to do what we wished.  The property was likewise a good base from which we were able journey to the localised holidaymaker sights easily.  We were lucky enough that our country cottage was positioned under 30mins away from all of these tourist destinations.

The Dorset cottage we remained in was adjacent to a traditional pub that we often attended, where we struck up a friendship with the landlord and his wife.  We found out from the pub landlord that cottages in Dorset were very popular in the area and that he often met travellers such as us that stay in them.  If you are thinking of taking a trip to Dorset then I would advocate staying in holiday cottages Dorset.  The welcome you will experience from the people is wonderful, it is a great deal cheaper than a vacation overseas and you will leave feeling laid-back and fresh.

Scooters are found in every cities and towns as cheap and easy method of travel and commuting. Scooters are produced by a lot of companies in different styles. But what are the push scooters? 
Kick scooters or push scooters have caused real fashion trends in the urban environment where the possibility to use a small platform on wheels that you propel by pushing off the ground is more than just appealing. Push scooters are usually made of a folding aluminum frame, and their use is not limited to a group age alone, as anyone can enjoy them. Push scooters can have more than two wheels and the aluminum is replaced by plastic in some designs.

Push scooters began their popularity ascent at the end of the 90s, when a folding version of the traditional kick scooter was created by the Swiss, Wim Ouboter. Afterwards, Razor copied this aluminum adaptation and push scooters started to be mass produced in Japan, Europe and the United States. The most famous producers of push scooters at present include Micro and Razor, but these companies mainly target children and young adults interested in the urban trend of informal traveling.

Push scooters for adults are made of more resistant materials and incorporate special features that increase durability. Thus, all models are equipped with hand brakes, and they have larger wheels and bigger-sized decks. Size is the criterion that determines the specificity of a push scooters line, and so far, these feet-powered vehicles have registered very encouraging sales. It is really cool to to travel around town and avoid heavy traffic with a nice sleek kick scooter.

Folding push scooters don’t make the only category available, there are models that do not fold but have other features for different utility needs. They move faster than the folding version and some are even created for off road purposes. In this category of street kick scooters we ought to mention producers such as Diggler, Sidewalker or Kickbike. Some of the companies also share a production history of other road and sports items.

In 2006, a new generation of push scooters was launched by Nextsport: the Fuzion, a four-wheel scooter with lots of off road applications. This kind of push scooters are bigger and heavier than the Micro and Razor products, but their stability is amazing and the spinning capabilities of the handlebar could prove highly useful. Free-stylers will often use this kind of push scooters, and the practice of stunts and acrobatic performance are rather common in freestyle communities.

If you were to be able to delve into the bookings of Christmas holidays abroad, you will see that the Christmas holiday on the whole, is booked further in advance than the normal holiday in the year. Summer holidays, don’t really require that much planning, and in some cases these last minute bookings are more fun.

This however is not all that successful with Christmas holidays. You can’t just decide a few days before Christmas that you want to go on holiday, these things need to be planned! Going abroad requires some planning anyway, but taking the family means that you have to take every-one’s needs into account. What are you going to do with the presents; will the house be safe and what about meeting up with the rest of the external family?

All of the above criteria cause issues for booking last minute Christmas holidays. Summer holidays are easy to book early or last minute. All you need to make sure is the house is locked up and you have some time off work, then you’re on your way. Some tour operators have offered some extremely cheap luxury deals for all to try, this means that holidays can be booked so easily before hand.

If you look for a holiday around Christmas time, you will be hard pressed to find one. Booking a last minute holiday around Christmas could be very difficult, in fact a lot of places will be sold out already, although some are definitely trying to gain some extra flights and seats for families to purchase some holidays. Finding a seat on a flight, for your Christmas holiday is very difficult, that is one reason why last minute holidays aren’t always appropriate!

Luxury holidays and Winter holidays are the best way to spend your Christmas?

Cruising has become something of a phenomenon over the last 10 years. It has managed to shake off the old conception of being something only enjoyable to those who have retired and have a bit of money to burn, rather than leave it to anyone in their will. There has been a dramatic diversification in the cruise sector recently, with lots of new offerings based on different destinations, age groups, activities, length and price. What this has meant is that more people are able to enjoy a cruise these days…and they certainly are, with more cruise goers than there have ever been before.

Heading up this rush for the seven seas is the good old UK. There has always been a history of boat lovers in Britain and it seems that this tradition is still going strong as residents booked a massive 1.6 million cruise booking just this last year. This is unbelievably 33% of the number of cruises taken by all Europeans. Only Germany has a vague chance of challenging this title with a total of 21% market share according to results from a study conducted by Silversea Cruises at the Seatrade cruise convention in Miami.

The most popular cruise destinations for Europe as a whole are the Atlantic Islands and the Mediterranean. Which is strong evidence to suggest that sun and clear waters are still the biggest sellers. You don’t actually have to leave the boat these days to enjoy a fun-filled vacation. Most modern luxury cruises are equipped with multiple swimming pools, dining halls, theatres and even golf courses.

“A rise of just under 70% has been seen over the last 5 years, in the European cruise markets alone…a trend that is set to continue” says chairman of the ECC and CEO of Oceania Cruises, David Dingle.

There are 20 new ships being built as we speak according to Dingle, all of which are bound for the European markets and all hitting the water by 2012.

Relaxing on the beach and letting the cares of daily life drift away is a top pastime for holiday-makers, but it’s often confined to the tourist-heavy peak seasons. If you’re looking to get away from the crowds and save yourself a bit of money, out-of-season holidaying could be the perfect solution. You don’t have to go half way around the world either. There’s an appealing variety of year-round destinations much closer to home and some great hotel deals to be had as well.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are an ideal year-round destination. The climate is warm and dry and the diverse selection of islands means you are bound to find the right location for you. The most commonly visited islands are Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, which all offer breathtaking scenery and varying degrees of action and adventure. Temperatures usually remain over 20°C all year round so the concept of peak season has been slightly distorted here. Good times to enjoy reduced crowds and cheap Canaries hotels are November to mid-December and April to June, avoiding Easter. A one bedroom bungalow on Fuerteventura can be found for as little as £10 per person per night this November.

Cyprus

Cyprus is a good early spring option thanks to its favourable Mediterranean climate. Peak season runs from June to September, so avoid these months to experience the slightly quieter side of this popular isle. Visit in April and May and you can enjoy average maximum temperatures of 22°C and 26°C respectively while you laze on the beach, explore historic sites or indulge in some of the country’s delicious cuisine. Temperatures remain high into October and November, but heavier rainfall makes these months a less appealing choice. Mid-April Cyprus hotels prices go as low as £14 per person per night for a seven night stay in the Paphos area.

Egypt

For something completely different, head to Egypt and sample a taste of the ancient. There are a multitude of attractions both above and below sea level making a visit definitely worthwhile. Peak season runs between October and May so to avoid the crowds choose June or September. During these months temperatures are regularly over 30°C, though, so you are advised to take it easy. The huge variety of Egypt hotels deals available should help take the edge of the heat; hotels in Cairo can be booked for a little as £11 per person per night for a week in mid-September.

The Canary Islands have been attracting large numbers of tourists to their breathtaking shores for over four decades. Presented as a perfect island paradise package, it’s hard to see why anyone would not want to visit. Yet, even these holiday gems have been suffering during these difficult economic times. Throughout 2009, falling visitor numbers have been regularly reported in the press and as the beaches fall quiet the islands have been spurred on to take this opportunity to undergo a refresh. It is hoped that this will encourage more tourists and stimulate the various local economies again. In the meantime, holiday-makers who want to experience reduced crowds and cheap Canaries hotels should head to the islands now.

The number of tourists visiting the Canary Islands, which include the popular Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, dropped by around 15% in the first five months of 2009 when compared with the same time the previous year, according to a recent report by the BBC. An unfortunate combination of a weakening pound and the demise of certain major airlines and tour operators servicing the islands has contributed to the current problems.

The islands, however, have not been idle. Local authorities are taking decisive action in the form of inward investment of up to 120 million euros over the next four years to give the islands a ‘facelift’. They are not alone in their action, either. Private hotels are using the quiet period as an opportunity to renovate. This form of reinvention has been identified as one way to combat the recent troubles and help the Canaries get back on track as a top holiday destination.

Future visitors to the islands will be able to enjoy the fruits of these labours. In the meantime, holiday-makers can enjoy deals on Canaries hotels that are as low as £15 per person per night for a two person self catering apartment in Playa De Las Americas, Tenerife – and enjoy a more peaceful holiday experience at the same time.

Puerto Rico is a friendly place on the Eastern Caribbean, appealing to travelers for many reasons. Its a USA territory so it does not require passports or visas for US citizens. Others may arrive on the island as if they were arriving to a US Port. Puerto Rico is the most visited island in the Caribbean, and also the easiest to get to. Flights arrive to San Juan from the United States, Canada, Europe, as well as Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands. Puerto Rico all inclusive hotels are a popular vacation option. These Puerto Rico all inclusive vacations offer the best value for the vacation dollar.

You will find not only white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, but also lots of shade under the coconut palm trees and all the facilities required for a great day at the beach like Showers, bathrooms, food stands, and more. The other area of beaches that have become a must for visitors is the west coast called Porta del Sol. Here the main attraction is the beaches where the waters of the Caribbean meeting the Atlantic are rough and idyllic for Surfing. Surfers from all over the world flock to Porta del Sol for the greatest surfing in the Caribbean. These activities drive loads of visitors to choose Puerto Rico all inclusive resorts each year.

The country has special events all year long. Most popular events are held during the Patron Saint Festivals, in honor of the patron saint of each municipality. They include religious processions that originated as a Catholic tradition. Usually held in the town square, these festivals are colorful displays of pride and joy, featuring parades, games, rides, regional food and live entertainment. The island offers a wide variety of sports including golf, tennis and hiking. For the water sports lover, scuba diving, snorkeling and deep sea fishing off San Juan could prove to be an experience of a lifetime. 

In the towns you will experience 400 years of Spanish heritage seen in the architecture and the beautiful Town Plazas that you can find in each town without exceptions. Old San Juan, the walled city has been maintained and refurbished to look exactly as it was built by the Spanish, the British and others that left their mark on the city. Old San Juan is a peninsula and to get there you have to border the Atlantic, which by itself is a great experience. The city is one of the beautiful colonial cities in the Americas.
