April 27th, 2008 by travel

Traveling requires a lot of planning and the most important factor is the money. Handling money at a foreign destination needs to have some important tips. Those tips might be regarding the currency, the way of shopping or on expenses of traveling the different parts of the country. No one can afford to ignore such an important aspect of traveling a foreign land where he finds himself or herself completely unaware of the value of that countries currency. So you need to be equipped with some essential tips before you start for any foreign country.

Talking of Malaysia, the local currency is Ringgit Malaysia. One RM equals to 100 sen, the smaller unit of Malaysian currency. Like in other countries, notes and coins are principal forms. Banknotes are issued in form of RM1, Rm2< RM5, RM10, RM50 and coins are in sen like one sen, five sen, 50 sen and 1 RM denomination. You can get your currency converted into Ringgit at banks or authorized moneychangers throughout the country. Resident travelers can carry upto RM 1000 per person both in and out of the country. However, those who want to carry more than permissible limit need to obtain permission from the Controller of Foreign Exchange and declare in the Traveler's Declaration Form the exact amount of Ringgit carried.

Non Resident travelers are allowed to carry any amount of foreign currency. Nevertheless, if the amount exceeds 2,500 UD dollar, the declaration in the Disembarkation Card issued by the Immigration Department need to be done. So travel Malaysia with these valuable tips in your hand!

Walking in the Footsteps of Celtic Mythology Queen Maeve’s Tomb in Sligo, Ireland

April 26th, 2008 by travel

Queen Maeve’s Tomb sits high above the town of Sligo, Ireland on a low mountain named Knocknarea (”Mountain of the Moon”). Legend states that it is good luck to bring a stone up the mountain to place on the large cairn, but that it is bad luck to remove a stone. This would explain it’s formidable height.

From the center of town, the mountain looks anything but daunting. It looks like another one of those beautiful hills that Ireland’s Northwest is so well known for. Look a little closer however, and you’ll notice a bump on the top of this relatively flat-topped hill. This bump is of course, the tomb of Queen Maeve herself.

In Celtic mythology, Queen Maeve was known as the Warrior Queen of Connacht. Unfortunately, the queen had a reputation of being quite unkind, having murdered her own sister Eithne with the intent to covet Eithne’s husband. She also seems to have made her way through a number of husbands, disposing of each by murder. She figures prominently in “T

Getting The Most Out Of Spring Break

April 25th, 2008 by travel

Spring break is a great time to get loose from the pressures of school and work that young people face. It’s also a period of time in which you’re likely to spend ridiculous amounts of money. For that reason, it’s important to cut every corner that you can to keep your spring break costs low. In this article, we’ll offer some tips towards saving hard-earned dough when it comes to vacationing in a party zone.

First, it’s very important to shop around when it comes to your accommodations. Many spring break spots offer plenty of different hotels that can fit any budget, offering you dirt-cheap prices at dirt-packed motels and the finest accommodations at the more fancy spring break resorts. It’s important to think about what you would value in your hotel; if you’re planning on spending your days and nights on the town, location may be important but fancy rooms may not be. To that end, there are usually a few low-budget motels situated relatively close to the main drag in spring break towns where you can save a buck at the cost of cleanliness. It’s also key to ask any travel agents that you may be consulting if there’s a special student rate. Surprisingly, many agents offer these rates, and if they don’t, they are usually happy to offer you a group discount should you be traveling with a crew of spring breakers.

One trick that many spring breakers use to save money is the condo option. Many condos are often available for rent in popular spring break destinations, offering you the opportunity to split large accommodations amongst your group resulting in a lower cost. Also, staying in a condo gives you the opportunity to use the kitchen and refrigerator which can save you a wealth of cash. Once you get to your spring break spot, hit the grocery store and buy some things that you can cook so that you won’t have to spend all your spring break cash at restaurants.

Traveling by car can also be a great option when it comes to getting to your destination. In addition to carpooling and being able to chip in on gas, you also don’t have to worry about transportation or getting a rental car once you get into the city. Be wary, however, when driving in a spring break spot. Police officers are usually on the lookout for out-of-state partiers when it comes to pulling people over, and you may find yourself getting the third degree for the most minor of infractions. Drinking and driving is a definite no-no when taking your car on a cruise through the place that you are staying.
