Planning Your Mexican Coastal Vacation

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Kaharuddin

With the coldest part of winter upon us, people naturally think of warm weather destinations as an escape . One of the most common and preferred warm weather resort destinations is Mexico. It is no coincidence that so many people choose to vacation in Mexico. Consistently warm weather, an assortment of recreational activities, and a rich historical tradition provide travelers a wide array of vacation destinations to choose from. When planning a vacation to Mexico, it is important to match your recreational expectations to the right coastal city that will best accommodate what you want to accomplish on your vacation. Most likely, you will choose a destination city on the Pacific or Caribbean coast for your vacation getaway.

The western coastline of Mexico has numerous port cities for you to choose for your vacation. Mazatlan is one of the most popular resort cities in Mexico. It has long stretches of beachfront hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and bright lights. One of the most popular ocean activities in Mazatlan is parasailing. Mazatlan has something for everyone. Young adults are attracted to Mazatlan for its vibrant nightlife while others are drawn here for its slower pace and less crowded beaches. The beaches are long and the Pacific ocean waves can be big enough for surfboarding and body surfing.

Acapulco is another popular vacation destination on Mexico’s pacific coast. If you like to keep moving, Acapulco is the place for you. Acapulco is an international resort community hopping with activity. Acapulco is known for its stunningly beautiful natural harbors, beautiful golf courses, superb dining, shopping, and of course the legendary nightlife. Plus, your vacation would not be complete if you did not watch the famous La Quebrada cliff divers as they plunge 136 feet to the sea.

Another well know tourist area worth considering is Puerto Vallarta. If you are seeking a quiet setting with plenty of sun, surf, and excellent hospitality, then Puerto Vallarta is an excellent option to relieve your cabin fever. Relax in the beautiful panoramic views of mountains and the Bay of Banderas. If you want to escape the crowds, book your trip to Puerto Vallarta.

Other coastal Mexican cities that are worth investigating for your “beat the cold” vacation are Los Cabos, Ixtapa, and Manzanillo. Each of these cities offer a unique traveling experience that will create memories for a lifetime.

The eastern or Caribbean side of Mexico grabs all the fame and glory when people consider a vacation to Mexico. At the top of the list in popularity for a Mexican vacation getaway is Cancun. Cancun is a vibrant vacation destination with consistently warm weather, gorgeous white beaches, a bustling urban atmosphere with shopping, restaurants, and a legendary nightlife. The turquoise waters offer excellent snorkeling, diving, and visibility to depths of up to 100 feet. Your vacation to Cancun would not be complete if you did not visit the ancient Mayan ruins at Chichen-Itza. If you are traveling on a tight budget, Cancun is a great option as many resorts offer discount packages for people who are more interested in what they do outside of their hotel room as opposed to the frills and plush options that drive up the costs of their accommodations.

The Riviera Maya is taking shape as Mexico’s most unique and rapidly expanding vacation area. The pace is relaxed and perfect for the vacationer looking for a bit of adventure without the crowds of Cancun. This region is made up of small independent communities providing unique experiences and elegance. The Riviera Maya has a variety of scenic options including: a ferry ride to Cozumel, snorkeling in the Great Maya Reef which is the second largest reef system in the world, shopping in the open-air shops at Playa del Carmen, a trip to the ecological gardens of Xcaret, a tour of Tulum, and so much more.

Clearly, the coastal cities of Mexico provide vacationers a multitude of options to get away from the cold climates of the northern latitudes. When planning your Mexican coastal vacation, be sure to thoroughly investigate which city offers you the best options for what you want out of your vacation. Mexico has a vacation option for just about whatever you are looking for.

Top 10 Myths Tourists Uncover When House Scouting on Vacation

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Kaharuddin

You’ve planned that perfect vacation, you’ve chosen where to stay and you like it so much that you are staying for good! That’s what tourists believe when they go house hunting for a vacation home. Most tourists first think of hotels, though vacation rental homes have gained in popularity as a place to stay. Whether you’re looking for a beach side rental in San Francisco or a mountain home in Tahoe, looking around to find vacation home to buy can present many challenges.

Here is my all time favorite, top 10 Myths tourists should consider when going house hunting for a vacation home. I’ll be interested to see where you fit currently in your planning.

Myth #1: You need to focus on areas you’ve vacationed before.

Fact: You can look in new geographic regions. You don’t need to be confined to areas that you’ve visited previously. Here’s a tip, locate an area that you’ve always dreamed of and rent a home for a season to make sure this is the area that you really like. Go online and search for rental homes for vacation and you’ll find some fabulous help in locating a dream vacation area.

Myth#2: You need to be pre-approved for a mortgage before you can start looking.

Fact: Getting pre-approved will increase your chances and the amount of homes a realtor will be willing to show you. However, you can alternatively work directly with the seller, there are many sellers who list online or in the local papers. However, an important step, particularly if you already have a home loan and will add to your debt level, is to get started gathering the documentation you need for the loan. Look at what Fannie Mae has to say and the typical questions asked in a home loan application and the documents you’ll need to begin gathering.  This is important to start early in the process because if you owe on your primary residence, you may be limited by what a lender is willing to give you for a vacation home mortgage. Alternatively, you might be able to refinance your primary residence at a lower rate for cash to buy a second home.

Myth#3: Your vacation home should be smaller than your primary home.

Fact: Think about what sort of vacation home you want first. Sometimes there are more choices of a type of home offered with vacation properties and sometimes there are fewer choices. For example, you could choose a cabin, a house or a condo. Condos come with additional issues, such as home owners associations (HOA). Cabins may have high maintenance as mostly those types of properties have to contend with environmental issues. Thinking about whether to choose a house versus a condo? That depends on you and the level of maintenance, liability and property taxes you want to pay. Also consider utility costs and look for vacation homes that have “green” in mind.

Myth#4: You have to pay more for a vacation home that is near the water.

Fact: Only you can decide whether proximity to water is important. As a rule, the closer you are to desirable attractions of a given area, the more you’re going to pay for that convenience. However, there are many times where you can buy into planned communities near a lake that offer the conveniences of water proximity without the cost. You might have to try to locate sellers directly in more motivated situations, but is doable.

Myth#5: You need to choose a reputable brokerage company with a big name to help you locate a vacation home.

Fact: While a large real estate brokerage company will have many different agents to choose some you can also interview several local real estate agents of smaller brokerages before selecting one. Ask how many vacation home listings they have, how many years they’ve worked in the business, and whether they have a particular specialty. Make sure you’re comfortable trusting the person you choose with your search. You will likely spend a lot of time with them. Also, ask them “what’s your favorite vacation spot and why?”, if their answer is similar to yours, you might have a good match with empathy.

Myth #6: You need to drive around and view 50 homes before you make a decision.

Fact: You don’t need to waste all the gas and kill the trees by driving around town, however, I do recommend you learn about the hot spots. Here’s a tip, before you begin your search in the car, view various homes in different settings online. Ask the agent or the Chamber of Commerce in that region to send you relocation brochures. Then visit those websites and sign up to get realtor listings to see what homes are available. Don’t forget to check with craigslist.org and backpage.com in the region you desire for sale by owner listings that might contain a great bargain! Then select the top 5 and get in the car. This will help you get a sense of how location, size of the homes and other factors affecting price differences.

Myth#7: You can’t maintain a vacation home from a distance.

Fact: Consider ongoing maintenance. How will you keep the house up if you’re not there all the time, particularly if it’s subject to a wide variety of weather conditions? Factor in the cost of hiring a local individual or service to look after the property in your absence. There are many property managers that will charge you up to 10% to manage your property and they have local contacts to get a repair completed quickly and affordably.

Myth#8: Renting a home every summer is a waste of money.

Fact: You need to do a rent versus buy analysis. Bankrate has a good wizard which will walk you through how to do this analysis at BankRate.com. Oftentimes, you’ll be surprised by how much more economical it is to rent, however, the rent adds up and you also need to factor in that you might not get the prime rental home when you want it. Private units can be less expensive than you’d think. Think about it this way – if you’re a family of 5, you’ll likely need a hotel suite or two rooms to fit everyone in. If you stay more than one evening you’ll be facing a large hotel bill at the end of your trip because hotels often charge extra for more than one person per room. A vacation rental home, however, is the same price no matter how many are staying in the home.

Myth #9: Vacation homes offer more privacy.

Fact: It’s sometimes possible to find rentals with amenities like private pools and hot tubs to make your vacation as relaxing as possible. Booking a villa rental means you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation to the fullest, all without worrying about other vacationers.

House or villa rentals offer more privacy than a regular hotel. Because many of the houses are single, detached homes, you won’t have to worry about the noise from rowdy vacationers, housekeeping and slamming hotel doors. But if you have a lot of gear to enjoy the water or cabin environment, and a big family with a lot of friends and family that like to visit. Nothing beats a home of your own.

Myth#10: It’s a bad tax idea to rent your home.

Fact: If you’re in the vacation home only a few months or weeks of the year, regardless, if you rent out for more than 14 days in a year, the IRS categorizes it as an income property rather than a residence. You’ll be paying taxes on the net rental income after expenses, which could bump you into the next tax bracket. See the IRS website for information on how this is treated.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; discuss it with your tax preparer. Because you can also deduct expenses of the property in addition to management of the property, if out of your own home, certain expenses of your primary residence can offset this income providing a long term tax benefit.

Using vacation rental homes instead of hotels can add to the fun of a great holiday. These villa rentals can offer you more privacy, are great for large groups and families with young families and can reduce the overall cost of your holiday. Just relax and enjoy the adventure of owning a home, or renting, whichever makes more sense.

Postcript: blogging and Blogspot in Syria

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Kaharuddin

Another postscript to my posts of a couple of weeks ago on blogging and Blogspot in Syria (see my last post and the postscript before it): after uploading the posts below, I received loads of emails and tweets from around the world, from Syrians asking everything from why I couldn’t go to an internet cafe where it’s often possible to access Blogspot (sorry, we were working 16-hour days so the only time I had to email was early morning or late at night at our hotels) to foreign and local censorship/IT experts wanting me to provide them with a list of every hotel we stayed at and the hotel’s proxy info (apologies again, but one of the things we were doing in Syria was reviewing hotels, so we were moving hotels every second day, and I had enough to do as it was). Based on my recent experience (‘recent’, because I’ve never had time to blog on previous trips to Syria), my advice to you is if you’re planning to travel to Syria and blog regularly, do your research first but research widely: there are plenty of experts eager to share their opinions (indeed, some rather aggressively) and there is a lot of contradictory advice around (even among the self-proclaimed “experts”) about blogging and Blogspot in Syria, from people both outside and within Syria. I found that rarely did opinions align and every expert was able to cite a wealth of research on the subject. Once again, I apologise for not having time to test out your theories and suggestions, but I’m a travel writer who also blogs, rather than a travel blogger who also publishes – and that’s likely to stay that way until someone pays me as much to blog as I earn writing. The paid work – which one charming “expert” referred to as “travel fluff” (rest assured, I took her as seriously as she took me) has to take priority, I’m afraid. So, back to work… or writing nonsense?

An Alaska Vacation – Try an Alaska Cruise

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Kaharuddin

When dreaming about an Alaska vacation you may

envision the romantic essence of yourself reeling in King Salmon, roaming the Alaska wilderness shooting wildlife pictures or simply observing the awe-inspiring beauty…but there’s more.

Alaska still remains one of the last frontiers on our

planet. Its harsh extremely rugged environment can put any well-equipped adventurer to the test. Yet for the wise, you can engage in a thrilling Alaska vacation, experience the rugged Alaska environment, the awe-inspiring beauty and participate in Alaska’s beckoning adventurous surroundings as much or as little

as you want. And you can do it all from the safety of your home away from home!

Your Alaska vacation setting, your home away from home, is

aboard one of the most spectacular means of transportation known today, a luxury cruise ship. Granted, these cruise ships are monstrous in their own right, dwarfed by jutting mountain peaks and colossal glacier ice fields. Yet, you have the opportunity to experience some of Alaska’s finest, right from the luxury and comfort of your home away from home, a cruise ship. What a

romantic way to travel!

Advantages Of Living In The Northwest…

For those living in the Pacific Northwest, you have the ease and

advantage of experiencing a wondrous Alaska vacation by driving a vehicle to your departure port, either Seattle, Astoria

or Vancouver, B.C.; making your Alaska vacation that much more of a vacation.

You’ll experience the joys from NOT having to deal with the anxieties of a possible flight delay or flight cancellation and no additional strain on the pocket book requiring additional money for flights or possible hotel stays.

If you’re driving, the ideal is to find a friend or family

member to drop you off and pick you up. You do, however, have the option of parking at the Bell Street Garage located directly across from Pier 66, the cruise terminal in Seattle.

Fee: $12.00 per day.

On-line reservations are available through Republic Parking.

Location: 9 Wall Street. Enter at the corner of Alaskan Way and Wall Street.

25 handicap parking stalls.

No oversize or RV parking is available in the garage. Vehicles must be less than 6’6″ high.

Republic Parking operates the garage. Questions? Call the garage staff at (206) 783-4144.

The ability to leave home and drive to your cruise ship

is truly remarkable. We took that opportunity to engage in an Alaska vacation with Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) the summer of 2004. Previously we’d explored Alaska by air; vehicle, foot and most recently the favorable moment came, to explore Alaska by way of a cruise ship.

Past Vacations Were Work…

In the past, our Alaska vacation required an immense amount of

planning, organization, and ultimately, “work”, yielding very little time for some true relaxation and quality time with loved ones. An NCL Alaska Cruise allows you to truly relax and spend the necessary quality time with loved ones. The cruise gives you options. If you want to engage yourself into an intense schedule, you can. If you don’t want the intensity, that’s your option.

Cruising With NCL…

We elected to cruise with NCL for various reasons:

they’re very competitive in price, they offer “Free-Style Cruising”, they have fabulous children programs (we could spend some quality romantic time together while the kids were fully involved in the children programs), superb entertainment, an international crew and they were the first cruise line in Seattle. We had to check them out…and that we did!

Six of us, 2-adults and 4-children, set off to explore the

qualities of NCL on an Alaska vacation. Our vessel, the “Norwegian Spirit” was docked at the Port of Seattle, the Pier 66 Terminal. Our scheduled departure was a Saturday afternoon allowing us the relaxing time to get some last minute things together. We were in no rush whatsoever. We could arrive at the ship between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm. How soothing this was to all the family members.

Arriving at the terminal was a little confusing; it appeared as if every passenger descended on the ship at the same time. Amongst the confusion we found a courteous NCL employee who directed us to the appropriate baggage check-in and ticketing lines. We were impressed how quickly and orderly the lines

flowed. NCL did a fantastic job of getting us through the baggage check-in, ticketing and on-board the ship.

Each passenger is issued an ID card before boarding.

This ID Card serves as your room key, boarding pass and credit card for any onboard shopping. It’s imperative that you guard it like your credit card, do not leave it unattended. You’ll need it in ALL ports of call for departing and boarding the ship.

Before the ship left the Seattle dock, on to our Alaska

vacation, we were exploring. The Spirit carries 1,996 passengers with a crew of 920. That’s nearly 1-crew member for every 2-passengers! And we have to say; the crew was there to serve us and make sure we had the absolute best Alaska vacation. We appreciated all of the nationalities represented on the Spirit. It’s truly a vessel of international flair.

Our kids, of course, loved the stern section of the ship,

the Kids Club. It’s amazing, an entire mini-amusement park with tunnels, tubes and balls, a pool with slides, fountains and a mock pirate ship yielding water-spouting cannons that make up the upper portion of the stern section. This is a kid’s heaven. When our kids were tired of the water games (that rarely

happened), the arcade was only steps away.

The restaurants on board were numerous from fine dining to

buffet style and fast food offered 24-hours a day. You’ll never go hungry. If you’re dieting to lose weight, put the diet on hold for the duration of the cruise. You’ll want the flexibility to enjoy all the fabulous food entrees.

The Many Options…

We especially enjoyed the many options of simply watching

whales spout, the beautiful scenery passing us by, picking up a movie in the theater, dining, playing cards, trying our luck in the casino, listening to some live entertainment at one of the many bars, lounging on the deck by one of the pools, pumping iron at the gym, shooting some hoops on the basketball court…the

list seems endless. This is the ultimate Alaska vacation; you can do it all, part or nothing.

Our family of six always had something to do, there was

never a dull boring moment. Each one of us had the option to choose what we wanted to do. My wife, for example, read a book in the library while I watched a movie in the theater, our oldest hung out with some new found friends and the other three played on the water slides. Our Alaska vacation was unlike any other,

there was literally no sacrificing the wants and likes of other family members. And above all, we didn’t have to drive to any of these recreational activities!

One of our favorite functions were the evenings live

high quality professional entertainment in the grand Moulin Rouge showroom. It’s unique in that the Moulin Rouge utilizes two decks, with theater style sitting. You ultimately get a great view from every seat, including the seats in the balcony! On our

particular cruise, the Cruise Director, Adrian Lewis, did a fabulous job organizing all of the professional entertainment. The picture depicts a special attribute to all the crew who made our Alaska vacation an unforgettable experience.

Ports of Call…

And of course, there are the ports of call: Ketchikan via the Inside Passage from Seattle, Juneau, Skagway and Prince Rupert with a sneak into the Sawyer Glacier. The ports are all awesome. You have the choice of departing the ship and venturing out into the Alaskan territory or stay in your second home, onboard the Spirit. It’s your choice to expand your Alaska

vacation to meet your adventurous needs and desires.

On shore you can experience nearly any level of excitement

you so desire. You’ll have at your disposal helicopter flights, fishing opportunities, river rafting, guided tours, shopping expeditions or simply strolling around on a self-guided walking tour. The ports of call, on our Alaska vacation, were relatively small. This enabled us to walk around the towns to capture the Alaskan lifestyle. Granted, our stay in each port was limited but it did yield enough time to get a taste, an experience of Alaska. The ports were showcased enabling us to see the highlights and if so desired we could return at a later date.

Ketchikan was our first port of call after cruising through the majestic Inside Passage. Ketchikan is a

shoppers dream, an added feature to experience the ultimate Alaska vacation. The historic downtown and specialty shops are within minutes from the cruise ship docks. You’ll find a wide selection of native art, jewelry, sporting goods and even the Alaskan themed toys.

We especially enjoyed walking around town, watching the

salmon run through a stream in the center of town and riding the

city bus to Saxman Village, a native village 2-miles south of Ketchikan. The village is literally a totem pole park revealing the native’s culture. Returning to the ship we decided to walk the 2-miles back along a fabulous waterside walkway that portrayed the beauty of this Southeast Alaska area.

Juneauwas the second port of call. We were amazed how much the city had changed over the past 10-years. The

cruise ship industry had a great effect on the coastal Alaskan towns. Shops literally sprung up overnight to accommodate the thousands of passengers descending upon Juneau and the other coastal towns.

Juneau is the capital of Alaska, nestled between

towering mountains. The enormity of the cruise ships makes for an awesome sight as they cruise between the mountain ridges.

Juneau is also home to the Mendenhall Glacier. This is a sight to be seen, especially if you’re not familiar with glaciers. We took the city bus to the Mendenhall Valley and walked about a mile to reach the glacier. Of course, there are other options to get to the glacier via helicopter or one of the many bus-guided tours.

If you plan on visiting the glacier bring along your

National Parks Pass. This will entitle you free entrance to the visitor’s center.

Our third Port of Call was the infamous little town of

Skagway. Our route to Skagway took us up the Tracy

Arm to the Sawyer Glacier. We cruised past icebergs and gushing water falls. The captain brought the cruise ship near the spectacular ice-flow, a sight you have to see. Our kids continued playing on the water-slides as we cruised along

the towering pieces of ice, truly an amazing sight.

Skagway welcomed us with open arms. It’s here that

the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 began. It’s hard to imagine more than 30,000 gold seekers set out from this once tiny village. And now, Skagway is experiencing it’s second gold rush. Approximately 5- cruise ships visit Skagway every day during the months of May – September, that’s 10,000 visitors per day bringing money into the community!

The town is very easy to get around; it’s about 7-blocks

long all encased with specialty shops. The prices are extremely competitive yielding some good quality products. Regarding the tours, you can always sign up for a tour aboard the ship; however, if you didn’t make previous tour arrangements you still have ample opportunities on shore.

Skagway is known for the famous scenic railway. It’s a

3-hour ride out of Skagway following the gold rush route into the Yukon. We decided against the train ride and hopped aboard a personalized driving tour with the Skaguay Tour Company. We like the added edge a personalized tour gives. The tour consists of a historic city tour and a drive to the summit of White Pass, essentially paralleling the train route but only half the cost. We also had the opportunity to stop at various points of interest along the way, unlike the train. Before you go to Skagway check out Skagway Tour Company. Be sure to bring your passport, you’ll cross into Canada and may need the identification for re-entry into the U.S.

Our last Port of Call, before returning to Seattle, was

Prince Rupert. This cosmopolitan city encompasses

many cultures and is the home of the First Nations people for 10,000 years. Near the cruise dock is a native museum with a variety of shops nestled along the waterfront. Compared to the other ports, we found the various gift items expensive even with the good U.S. dollar exchange rate.

There are tours that you can participate in; however, we

took advantage of the walking tour along the waterfront visiting the sunken gardens. It made for a nice walkabout; however, our kids were anxious to return to the ship and engage in the many wonderful activities. That’s the beauty; you have a home away from home, a comfortable place to return to creating a relaxing and enjoyable Alaska vacation.

Seattle, our off-boarding port, came far too soon. None of us were very anxious to leave the ship; we were ready to do the cruise again, back to our Alaska vacation. But the reality, we had to disembark. NCL made this an extremely easy process.

Each passenger is given a color-coded baggage tag depending upon your on-shore schedule. For example, if you had a morning

flight scheduled out of SeaTac Airport, your color-coded baggage tag indicated early ship disembarkation. You’d simply listen to your color tag announced over the loudspeaker system and proceed to depart the ship.

NCL makes it a relaxing experience even when the ship has reached its final destination. You can sit

back, relax and continue to enjoy your Alaska vacation while eating breakfast looking out at Seattle’s skyline.

Foremost, the things we bring with us from any vacation is

the memories, the experiences. It, therefore, makes sense to have a memorable vacation. Unfortunately there is a cost to it, any vacation or anything we do in life will cost in some form, either money, time, material things, etc. A cruise costs money. If money is a concern to you then we can show you how to save money before you purchase your cruise tickets.

The Alaska cruises book-up quickly. We encourage you to get the most of your Alaska vacation by booking early. You will not be disappointed. And we’ll help you through the booking process, your memories are a keepsake; therefore, book early.

We do not sell cruise tickets, airline tickets or any travel tickets, we simply reveal the Facts so you can make an informed decision and get the most for your hard earned dollar.

Step out into the exciting, adventurous, and romantic wonderlands our planet has to offer…make your Alaska vacation an Alaska Cruise.

Some Things To Remember Before Leaving The House:

Cruise Tickets

Passport

Camera/Film

NCL Luggage Tags on your bags
