The joys of summer – the insistence by car with children and happy solution to the beach or camping trip. Certainly the setting is off happy, but the trip can get boring, noisy, and sometimes downright nasty. Let's take a look at some approaches, the family road trip to make a pleasant experience for everyone.

Firstly, we must remember that much to take depending on age. So, let us first address the family with children under 12. Then we will discuss majorFamilies, and, finally, some points just for adults.

My experience has taught me that if you have small children to do the right thing to leave very, very early in the morning. This way you can have a couple of hours of good sleep and a quiet start to the trip. Dress in their traveling clothes the night before and put them in the car, strap em up and go. For travel in winter, it is obvious that the first machine is hot, so they are easilyimmediately.

The next thing, when you need to do to stop, do not go to one of the great stops on the roadside. Choose a quiet rest, and provide the mini fridge from your car. The positive aspect is the quietest offers diners a relaxing atmosphere for children to run around some before returning by car to the next stage of the journey.

There are some great self-cooler market today, including 12 volt cooler as a refrigerator in yourTruck or camper. These 12-volt devices ranging from laptop makers popcorn warmers can come to you the pleasure of fresh food on the street, without the crowds in the busy motorway service stations. Pack your own successful products of 12 V and Road Trip.

I personally love my own coffee can on the road nice and fresh, without waiting lines with a 12 volt extension cord inside, to make coffee on a picnic bench near the machine.

After two and a half years absence, I went to Pai in northern Thailand last November. Still the "hippie ', international tourist enclave that I visited in 2005, only now it has become increasingly popular and has been a bit' bigger and stronger. Many new housing, restaurants and hotels (although small hotels) and bungalows – including the magnificent Pai River Corner Resort and the Sanctuary, sprouted a sophisticated and trendy vegetarian and seafoodRestaurant, overlooking the river Pai. More importantly, there is an increasing number of Thai tourists stay in Pai. I understand that this increase in visitors to the home channel is the result of increased promotion of tourism, TV, which featured a documentary of a major Thai Pai. Again, I was with Pairadise Pai is about 1000 meters from the center of city. Still a great place – since I was the last time he added some new deluxe bungalows. The rooms aresimply furnished but well equipped. For the price of 600 baht per night and up, is an excellent value Pairadise and represents the upper end of the budget structure in Pai.

My visit coincided with the colorful Pai Loy Krathong, a harvest festival celebrated popular thoughout Thailand in mid-November. For a small town, had a great time of celebration Pai – the pageantry was superb. There were parades, floats decorated with colorful flowers, fireworks and dancing in the streets ofyoung audiences to the accompaniment of some rather high Thai pop music. Needless to say I was quite impressed by the celebrations.

My last day in Pai, I visited the unique name PURA VIDA, one of the newest luxury bungalow. Pura Vida in Costa Rica is a popular phrase used to greet or take someone to leave is. literally translated from Spanish means Pure Life.

See some of the masters by train Mount Fuji in the background, beach, or in other places aesthetically pleasing (most are simple elegance dojo), or scenes in the fields or woods, made me think how often my training in Martial Artscalms me and is the quietest time of day. Meditation and physical training go together.

The film about the training that people in the film at this point other Than to say, it takes a long time and much effort is to understand. But even this can motivate you to continue their education in order to achieve higher levels.

The section with the training of women with the Naginata is attractive to women of the samurai, art practiced by women of all ages to see. There was a lot of time on the Japanese samurai sword known output. In addition, some masters of the sword, the film shows a well made knife. I was surprised that theNinja Ninjutsu and are not included.

long. The plot thickens as the rivalry between the various military
and enhanced political groupings.

It was in this context that the tragedy of October 14
