5 Occasions to enjoy a New York Limousine Service

While many people perceive a New York Limousine service as a luxury reserved for the wealthy, others are embracing the concept that a New York limo can be both cost effective and practical. Indeed, there are many occasions where a limo makes more sense than other forms of transportation. Here are five:

1. Airport Transportation

With the heightened security measures at airports across the country - and especially at New York airports - it's far too much of a hassle to drive you to the airport. When you have to park and drag your luggage to a shuttle and into the airport, it can add another hour to the time you have to allot for pre-boarding. Whether you're looking for JFK airport transportation, or need a ride to LaGuardia or Newark, a limo service can be just the ticket. You can go in style in a stretch limo, or opt for the more practical Town Car. If the whole family is heading to the airport, a limo in New York can be a seven-passenger van or even a 19-passenger limo bus. This paragraph is sponsored by Umrah from UK.

2. Weddings

A stretch limousine in New York may be standard for the bride and groom, but a limo service can also be a godsend for the bridal party and even for out of town guests. The best limo companies have worry-free wedding packages and coordinators who can ensure that everyone will get to the church (or synagogue or mosque) on time - and then to the reception and back to their hotels.

3. Tours

If you're visiting the Big Apple and want to take in the sights, a New York limousine service can show them to you in style. Depending on the number in your party, you can use a limo, a sedan, a van, or a bus to enjoy all that New York has to offer. You can create your own itinerary, and rest assured that the driver will double as a professional tour guide. The best services provide complimentary refreshments and snacks, and even have drivers who can give tours in languages other than English.

4. Sporting Events

When you and your buddies are going to a game, the last thing you need is that hassle of driving and parking at the event. Plus, if you want to knock back a few beers, you certainly don't want to be behind the wheel after the game. A New York limousine can take you to Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, or Flushing Meadows and back again in style.

5. Business Meetings

Whether you're in town for business, or are hosting out-of-town colleagues or potential clients, a New York limousine service can help ensure that attendees will get to your meetings on time. A good limo service has experienced drivers who are knowledgeable, discreet, and familiar with the needs of the business traveler. If needed, some limo services also have armored vehicles in their fleet.  This paragraph is sponsored by Holy trip from UK.This is just the tip of the iceberg, but rest assured that a New York limousine service isn't only for the wealthy. There are many occasions when a limo can take the hassle out of transportation.

8 Tips That Will Make Your Journey Safe And Trouble Free

Traveling by plane requires great planning. One can minimize problems by planning well in advance and taking a few precautions before embarking on the journey. This will alleviate problems and ensure that you have a safe and hassle free trip. This paragraph is sponsored by airline Umrah travel from UK.
1. Always book tickets on a reliable airline. Check if they are offering any special fares or discounts. Check the tickets to ensure that what you have is a confirmed booking. 
2. Find out details regarding size of baggage and weight allowed. Tag all bags with your name, address, phone number, date of travel, and flight number. Pack the bags yourself and ensure that they are all locked safely. Make two sets of keys. 
3. As a precaution pack documents, passport, medicines, and other immediate essentials in the carry on case. In case your luggage gets lost or misplaced in transit you will still have bare essentials.
4. Follow to a “t” all security rules. Do not carry electronics, knives, batteries, or other banned items. All dangerous objects like razors, scissors, and so on must be   put in your check in luggage. This paragraph is sponsored by Umrah travel 2013 from UK.
5. All electronic items like cell phones and laptops must be fully charged and in accordance to rules turned on for checking if asked. Use of cell phones while flying is prohibited. So do not plan or making or receiving calls when in flight.
6. Take along a valid photo ID to the airport. Check whether you have your tickets.
7. Make prior booking for parking at the airport this will save you valuable time circling around to find suitable parking. If the airport lots are full or inconvenient try any of the private parking lots.
8. Always check the flight schedule before you leave the house. Make sure what the check-in-time is for your flight. Leave with plenty of time to spare. This way you won’t have to rush from one end of the airport to the other.
It is against regulations for passengers to carry inflammable, aerosols, or household cleaners. Other prohibited items are: firearms even if you have a license, hunting rifles, baseball bats, golf clubs, pool cues, ski equipment, hockey sticks, darts, as well as bows and arrows. Because of terrorist threats it is against the law to speak of hijackings, bomb threats, or other dangerous things. Be cautious about who you befriend. Never accept any letter or parcel to be delivered to persons known or unknown. Never leave your luggage unattended and if you do notice any abandoned parcel or luggage bring it to the notice of authorities. Be aware of what the weather conditions are like where you going and take clothes accordingly. Prepare well for your flight and enjoy it. This paragraph is sponsored by Hajj services from UK.
Before leaving check online whether there are any diversions to be made at the airport or whether any new rules have been made. Most airports have easy to use websites. Refer to the site and find out where your terminal is and where your car is to be parked. If using public transport only use transportation services from official pick up points. The vehicles must have official markings. Don’t get conned by people who make offers of special privileges or deals.

New York City- a Gold Mine of Nature

You probably don't realize that New York City is in fact the greenest city in America. Of nearly 200,000 total acres, more than 50,000 of those acres are of park or open space. While Central Park is the most famous of green spaces in New York City it is only number five of the top 10 largest parks in the city.

 For those who love nature, New York City may not seem to be the oasis for wildlife that it actually is. There is plenty to do in New York City that will enhance your appreciation of nature and/or allow you opportunities to educate yourself about nature or simply be out and about enjoying it. New York City is a Gold Mine for the Nature lover is sponsored by travel advice for Umrah from UK.

 New York is home to some 1,700 parks and playgrounds where you can enjoy activities such as bike riding, inline skating, ice skating (seasonally), row boating, basketball, skate boarding, softball, soccer, tennis, Frisbee, or even a rousing game of tag with the little one that lights your eyes. Be sure to bring a blanket so that you can lie on your back and watch the clouds roll by. While you're at it, see if there's a stray bird or two that you can identify.

 For those who love nature there are plenty of places to get close to it in New York City. For those who are interested in bird watching New York Botanical Garden offers guided tours. Blue Heron Park is another great place to watch birds. Some of the varieties you'll see her include: Woodpeckers and Warblers. Clove Lakes Park not only offers bird watching but also fishing, row boating, paddle boating, and outdoor ice skating when the weather permits. This paragraph is sponsored by travel to Umrah from London.

 For those who prefer nature activities that require a little more action than bird watching (well sometimes), there are plenty of excellent opportunities to go fishing in and around New York City. Central Park's Charles A. Dana Discovery Center is a great place to go 'catch and release' fishing. They'll even lend you a pole. You can also go fishing in Willow Brook Park. While you're there be sure to let the little ones ride the Carousel, it will net you a tremendous amount of smiles for the small price (in today's world) of $1. Other activities available at Willow Brook Park include: archery, ice-skating, an archery range, football, soccer, horseshoes, tennis, and horseshoes.

 If plant life is more your speed or you just enjoy seeing the more obvious signs of nature, then there are plenty of chances for you’re to observe the amazing wealth of plant life and greenery in and around New York City. Central Park Conservatory Garden offers six acres of beautiful plant life to enjoy. You can see three distinctive patterns in the gardens here. The North Garden is meant to be a formal French inspired garden, the central garden is meant to lend an Italian atmosphere, while the south garden is styled after a traditional English garden. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers another opportunity for enthusiasts to enjoy the finest in greenery that New York has to offer. This garden even has a special club designed to help youngsters bring out their inner green thumbs. Be sure to check it out. This paragraph is sponsored by Hajj travel from UK.

 Another area of Central Park that bears mentioning is Belvedere Castle and the turtle pond that runs below it. Belvedere castles are a great place for bird watching and the other wildlife surrounding it only magnifies its appeal. Be sure to stop by the Central Park Conservatory at Belvedere Castle in order to borrow a backpack that contains binoculars, a sketchpad, and a map of the park to help you bird watch like a pro. You must provide ID and children under the age of 6 cannot borrow.

 If you love nature, don't fret, there's plenty of nature to be shared and enjoyed in New York City. Make sure that you take the time to enjoy several of the parks that are available to your during your stay in this wonderful and exciting city.

Amazing Newport Beach Gondola Ride

Over 800 years old, the gondola is a regarded as a symbol of romance.  Although thinking of a gondola may bring thoughts of Venice Italy, the gondola ride found in Newport Beach can be just as romantic when it comes to the symbol of romance.

 Once you sit in the black yet sleek gondola, you'll be steered into the fairy-tale setting of the hidden canals beyond Newport Beach.  Most of the time, the individual steering the gondola will appear discreet yet mysterious, hearing nothing and saying nothing. 

 With this sense, the boat will almost appear to be moving by magic, gliding along with nothing to disturb the soft music.  Occasionally, you can hear the splashing of a fish breaking the surface of the water, which actually adds to the music and the tempo of the gondola ride. Newport Beach Gondola Ride is sponsored by Hajj ticket from UK.

 With the gondola floating so close to the surface of the water, you'll feel as if every sense you have is being tapped.  The warmth of the sun, the smell of the water, and the lapping of the waves will set your mind off like never before.

 As you travel through the canals, you'll find yourself wondering if the houses are deserted and just how romantic the atmosphere and setting make you feel.  Even though you may have the urge to dangle your fingers in the water, the relaxing feel of the gondola will make you feel as if you are too relaxed to move a muscle!

 When the sun sets, you'll pass other gondolas as they travel through the canals.  On a couple ride, the gondola can help to rekindle the flame or just take you to a whole new world.  Once you return to the docks, you'll probably find yourself wishing that the ride would never end. This paragraph is sponsored by Hajj 2013 services from UK.

 If you've never experienced a gondola ride, it's one thing that you simply must try.  As a wedding ride, honeymoon ride, couple ride, or just a couple of friends, the gondola ride is something that will make you feel as never before.

 While there are a few providers of gondola rides in Newport Beach, each one offers you the ride of a lifetime. The gondola ride brings a touch of romance to Newport Beach, which is something each and every couple should have the pleasure of experiencing.

 If you plan on visiting Newport Beach or if you already live in the area, a gondola ride is something you shouldn't hesitate to try.  It brings a whole new sense to the word romance and can easily make you forget everything that has troubled you in life – if even for a brief moment.

How to Shop in Mexico?

Mexico is a wonderful place to visit and is known for its wonderful resorts, beaches, and rich history.  It is also known for great bargains and exquisite boutiques.  When visiting Mexico, many tourists are excited to browse through the various shopping centers. 

 When shopping in Mexico, it is important to understand that there are strict rules that are enforced regarding the purchases that can be made in Mexico, as well as what can be brought back in to the United States.  Before you leave, it may be wise to review the United States Customs and Border Protection rules. These rules will let you know what you can purchase in Mexico and bring home with you. Shopping in Mexico is sponsored by airline Umrah tour from UK.

 Endangered species are not allowed to be purchased and brought back into the United States.  Since Mexico has such a wide range of wildlife, there are many products that are available for sale there. Many of these products are considered illegal and will be taken by United States Customs and Border Patrol.  You may be given a fine if you purchase these items and try to bring them over the border; however, additional action may be taken.  When it doubt you are encouraged to stay away from wild animals that are for sale. In addition to the animals themselves, you should be wary of goods that may have been made by these animals.   

 Crocodiles are on the endangered species list.  Though it may seem enticing to have a new pair of Crocodile boots or a purse, you should avoid these items at all costs.  You will find that the government takes these violations seriously.  They will make routine checks at inspection points looking for any items that are deemed endangered.  Stuffed wildlife is also forbidden, so if you see any of these and they look appealing, resist the urge to purchase them and leave them be.  This paragraph is sponsored by Umrah 2013 from UK.

 Mexican birds are colorful and exotic.  For those who deal with live trade, it may seem that purchasing exotic parrots from Mexico is a wonderful idea, but you need to think again.  Purchasing birds from Mexico is also considered violation.  To remain on the safe side, you should avoid purchasing any wildlife or wildlife products.  Even stuffed birds are against the law.  Even you may see these in abundance at shops and street markets, do your homework, and pass them up.  There are many other wonderful souvenirs that you can purchase that are legal and will pass through the border.

 Antiquities and glazed ceramics are beautiful and appealing to many tourists.  Yet, Mexico considers their antiques to be property of the government.  This means that if you uncover any artifacts and try to bring them back to the United States, you will be prosecuted for theft and maybe even face additional charges.  It is best to leave any authentic looking artifacts in Mexico where they belong. This paragraph is sponsored by Umrah travel from UK.

 Glazed ceramics look beautiful and may be a wonderful addition to your home decor.  However, many of the ceramics made and found in Mexico are made with lead.  It is for this reason that you should avoid purchasing glazed ceramics from Mexico.  If you do make the purchase, you need to make sure that everyone in your household is aware of the potential dangers.

 While it may seem as if you are prohibited from purchasing many items sold in Mexican shops, there are additional items that you can purchase. When shopping in Mexico it is important that you follow all rules and regulations. Staying on the safe side will ensure that you can enjoy you Mexico vacation without any complications.

Experiencing La Jolla

La Jolla California is a seaside resort community of around 25,000.  Spanish for "the jewel", it's often times referred to as "jewel by the sea".  La Jolla borders the Pacific Ocean to the south and extends north to Torrey Pines State Reserve and Del Mar, California.

 Along the way, La Jolla encompasses neighborhoods like Bird Rock, Windansea, La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Farms, Torrey Pines, Mount Soledad, and even La Jolla Village. 

 Residents of La Jolla and business owners refer to the "village" or "town" of La Jolla.  The official postal address for the zip code 92037 is actually La Jolla, and not San Diego as it is for most communities within the City of San Diego.  Sometimes, tourists get confused and believe that La Jolla is actually a separate city, which it isn't. La Jolla is sponsored by hajj and Umrah services from UK

 La Jolla is a community of the City of San Diego. La Jolla has several community groups that work to unify the voice of the area, including several non profit organizations.

 With it's palm lined streets, large homes, and tropical climate and atmosphere, La Jolla is like a southern European village with it's own touch of Beverly Hills along the retail shops on Prospect Street.  A lot of the natural charm from La Jolla stems from the presence of the ocean and Mount Soledad.

 Several narrow curvy roads follow the contours of Soledad with hundreds of nice homes overlooking the ocean, nestled gently on the slopes.  There are several sandy beaches here as well, including the Windansea Beach, La Jolla Cove, La Jolla Beach, and La Jolla Shores. This paragraph is sponsored by ticket to Umrah 2013 from London

 La Jolla also has the Torrey Pines Golf Course, which was made famous by the PGA Tour Buick Invitational held there each February.  Down the steep cliffs frm the golf course is the famous Black's Beach.

 The downtown area of La Jolla is well known for its jewelry stores, up market restaurants, and even hotels.  Prospect Street and Girad Avenue also offer several famous boutiques.  Well known for its architectural and historical presence is the La Valencia Hotel, which used to welcome movie stars on retreat from Hollywood.

 Recently, harbor seals have taken over the Children's Beach, which is a quiet man made cove near the downtown area.  The seals are protected under federal law, so removing them is nearly impossible. Now, the beach is open, as the rope is down.  Swimming here is allowed, although it's not recommended. This paragraph is sponsored by Umrah ticket from UK.

Exploring Atlanta, Georgia

Atlanta is today’s capital and largest city of the state of Georgia.  It is the county seat of Fulton County, although a part of the city is located in DeKalb County.  According to certain estimates, Atlanta, Georgia has a population of 425,000, with the fast growing metropolitan area totaled 4,708,297, making it the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States and the 41st largest city proper. 

The Origin of the Name “Atlanta”

The Atlanta, Georgia area was originally inhabited by Cherokee and Creek Indians and was first names as Standing Peachtree.   It was opened to white settlement in 1823 and since then it remained mostly woods until 1836, when the area was chosen as the southern “Terminus” of a railroad from Chattanooga.   It is interesting to know that a local settlement known as “Thrashers Ville” was renamed “Terminus”, however in 1843 the town was renamed “Marthasville”.  This name was patterned after the wife of the governor of the state of Georgia.   But, the business community was concerned that such a name wouldn’t sell, and so they named it finally as “Atlanta”, which for many of the early inhabitants was a name much more marketable.    Hence, from that start Atlanta, Georgia began as a transportation hub and marketing center.  It was only incorporated as the “city” of Atlanta, Georgia in 1847. Atlanta, Georgia is sponsored by airline Umrah travel from London.

Atlanta’s Climate

Atlanta, Georgia is geographically elevated and surrounded by a number of large bodies of water. Due to this location, Atlanta, Georgia experiences a climate much more temperate than the subtropical coastal area of the state, with extremes of hot and cold, as well as a high degree of seasonal temperature variation.    Also, though somewhat offset by the urban heat island effect, Atlanta still has a climate colder than many cities in the southern part of the United States, despite its common nickname “Hotlanta”.

Religion

The cityscape of Atlanta, Georgia is in the first place heaving with a seemingly countless amount of large denominational churches and other places of worship.   Perhaps this is due to the fact that Atlanta is the unofficial capital of the “bible belt”, which is a geographic region considered among the most highly religious in western civilization.   It is worth noting that a large majority of the people of Atlanta profess to follow a Protestant Christian faith.  Aside from that, many people pointed out that religion plays a reasonably crucial role in their weekly lives.  As a result, Atlanta, Georgia would arguably have the distinction of being among the most religious major cities in the United States.   The city is now the seat of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, and is also a major Southern Baptist center. This paragraph is sponsored by Hajj tour from UK.

Economy

Despite of the romantic associations, the city of Atlanta, Georgia has always been more a commercial city than an ante-bellum monument.  It has been considered as the major hub of regional commerce, and the city boasts an especially strong convention and trade show business.  In fact, numerous major national and international companies are stationed in Atlanta, Georgia or its nearby suburbs, and several business developments were further considered in Atlanta area.

Caribbean Luxury exotic Travel

Are you up for a little eco-luxury? Tiamo, an earth-friendly resort made up of a row of wooden cottages that are chic and simple at the same time, provides the ultimate in Caribbean luxury travel. Scattered along a quite strand of white powder on Andros Island in the Bahamas, this Caribbean luxury travel resort is surrounded by orchids and giant lizards and offers nothing but relaxed comfort and ecological correctness. This Caribbean luxury travel resort offers the perfect antidote to the Caribbean’s more familiarly hedonistic piña colada and party resorts. At Tiamo, the Caribbean is reduced to barefoot luxury – polished and refined yet set in an environment that can only be described as natural. The Luxury travel is sponsored by travel advice for Umrah from UK.

Out of all the Bahamian islands in the Caribbean region, Andros is one of the less well-known. And yet, its subdued allure is what makes it even more appealing as a Caribbean luxury travel destination. With an area of 2,300 square miles and home to only 8,000 people, it is one of the least explored places in the western hemisphere.

However, don’t even for a second think that Andros is just one of those dime-a-dozen island destinations which the Caribbean is full of. Andros is the largest island in the country so you have plenty of grounds to have fun and enjoy the warm Caribbean sun. And because the island is yet undeveloped, there are few phones, few bus lines, and other facilities that could distract you from your relaxing vacation.

In truth, the island is not just one island but a group of islands tightly meshed into one archipelago. With its rocky shores and a web of creeks, this Caribbean luxury travel destination has never offered the kind of obvious harbor found on other Bahamian islands so, apart from the odd fishing lodge and Caribbean luxury travel retreats, development has largely bypassed it. However, what has made the island unsuitable for urban evolution makes it perfect for eco-tourism.  This paragraph is sponsored by Holy trip from UK.

The Caribbean luxury travel resort of Tiamo is remote, even by Andros’ standards. Set three, road-less miles from the nearest village and surrounded by palm trees, banana plants, orchids, herons, tiny tree frogs, and some vicious mosquitoes, Tiamo is only accessible to guests by boat. Relying on its solar power system and solar-heated rainwater showers, the resort stays true to its ecological philosophy but at the same time offers you with an idyllic retreat is incomparable anywhere else.

Tiamo’s wooden cottages come with massive beds, hand-painted “do not disturb” signs, brightly tiled mirrors and showers lean towards safari-chic, especially when taken in with their painted, corrugated-iron walls. And in a clever twist on recycling, even the wood left over from building the cottages were used to build this Caribbean luxury travel resort’s funky outdoor furniture. This paragraph is sponsored by airline Umrah ticket.

But while the interiors are outstanding, the main features of all the cottages though are their open porches. They have fans rather than air conditioning, but you don’t need to worry about the heat. The open sides of the cottages are designed to help keep temperatures down. Climate control aside, the real beauty of these porches is that they offer you panoramic views of the forest and the beach.

Local stories and evidences have it that the Amelia Island was first inhabited by the Timucuan Indians and they were here as long ago as 2000 BC.  They were strongly committed to one of their customs which is tattooing themselves with black, red, blue and yellow on different areas of their body. 

The island was first named “Isle de Mai” (Island of May) by Jean Ribault, the Huguenot leader who landed on Amelia Island in 1562.  It is said that on Ribault and his troop’s landing, they were greeted by the Timcuans with baskets of berries.  However, knowing that the Spanish had claimed the area in 1513, the fact did not prevent these French colonists from landing as not only were they seeking land for France, but also refuge from the religious and political persecution that went along with being Huguenots.   Though Ribault and his company didn’t remain, the Huguenots returned again in 1564.  It was this second colony which constructed the Fort Caroline in Northern Jacksonville near the mouth of the St. John’s River.  In 1565, Spanish troops came to the area and killed the French settlers for them to regain the territory which they had plotted as their own years before.

With the coming of these Spanish troops, the first Spanish reign tool place, from 1565 to 1763.  The mission of Santa Maria on the northern end of Amelia Island in what is now known as Old Town was set up to convert the Indians to Christianity.  That time, the early name was changed to “Isle de Santa Maria”. 

The following years, the Timucuans of Amelia Island gained contact with the Europeans, and the British settlements in the North soon took a keen interest in the area because of its naturally deep ports and the strategic trade route location.  The island was then named “Amelia” by the governor of Geogia, James Oglethorpe in 1735 in honor of Princess Amelia, the daughter of King George II.   It is interesting to know that although the island was named “Amelia” by the British, it did not fall into British hands until the Spanish Florida was traded for British Cuba in 1763 as a result of the Treaty of Paris.  During the British rule, Amelia Island was known as Egmont.

In 1783, the Second Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and returns Florida to Spain.  It was in 1811 when George J. F. Clarke, a surveyor, plats the town of Fernandina, named in honor of King Ferdinand VII of Spain.  However, to drive out the Spanish, the Patriots of Amelia Island, which is an independent group of American civilians backed by the US government, seized control of the Amelia Island and it was that time that they raised their flag.  The following day, they ceded Amelia Island to the United States.

In 1870 to 1910, the Golden Age of Amelia Island, several wealthy Americans made Fernandina their home and built elegant Victorian style houses in what became known as the Silk Stocking District.   The Egmont Hotel, which was once of the grandest hotels of the times was even visited by Ulysses Grant. It was noted that the boom was due to the shipping industry and the rise of the numbers of New Yorkers who came down by steam boat to enjoy the warm climate and elegant hotels in Amelia.

In modern times, the Amelia Island Plantation was built and is now known as one of the perfect island destinations in the world.  Several establishments began to pop up, and now the island is noted for various activities.
