The Astrological Travel Guide According to Huffingtonpost.com : Travel Tips : Travelers... - 1 views

  •  
    The Astrological Travel Guide According to Huffingtonpost.com There are countless tips out there on where and how to travel, but not one like this. https://foursquare.com/westhilltravel http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/108506-westhill-consulting-travel-tours-inc It may not be certain, but why not take a leap of faith for once and try this travel guide according to you astrological sign by the Huffingtonpost.com. A little research based on each astrological sign's personality has led the Huffpost to these guidelines. Whatever your sign may be, one thing still stands true when travelling - you hold the key to your own travel destiny. Note: This travel guide is just a suggestion and may be followed at your own risk and liking. Aquarius: You Aquarius folk are an eclectic bunch. Your interests vary and you are the thinkers. You know what you like and you very much so know what you don't, so your next getaway should be planned with that in mind. Because you are one of the signs who can get lost in your thoughts, why not utilize that head space for some clarity? Book a trip to Iceland during the prime Northern Lights-seeing time and ponder life's big questions under the glorious Aurora Borealis. Even if you come up with no answers, at least you can come home with some amazing photos. Pisces: Pisces are, plain and simple, the givers. They are far happier when they are sharing their experiences or knowledge with others, especially those in need. A trip focused on service could be the perfect marriage of relaxation and giving back. Pisces people, why not look into an alternative spring break type trip to Ghana? You'll get away from the every day rat race but still get the satisfaction of helping those in need. Aries: If you're an Aries, you've got energy for days. Sitting on a beach soaking up the sun doesn't exactly tickle your fancy. You'll want to take all that restless energy and put it to good use. Try a trip down to Peru and make the ever-so-infamous trek up M

    What is a fair rate for 5-days gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda? One of the most interesting and unforgettable safaris you will ever do is a 5-day trip to Uganda to see gorillas and chimpanzees. The Uganda primate safari is another name for it. You will visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Kibale Forest National Park during this safari with Dav Safaris. The fair price is inclusive of permits for gorillas and chimpanzees, transportation, lodging, and service fees, and it is transparent. The prices to estimate the cost of a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda are broken down below. How much will the 5 day gorilla and chimpanzee trekking safari in Uganda cost? Gorilla Trekking in Bwind impenetrable Forest National Park One of the highlights of a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda is gorilla trekking. Gorilla tracking involves going through the bush to locate and observe a specific habituated mountain gorilla family. Prior to gorilla trekking, gorilla trackers, advanced teams, and rangers employ a variety of indicators and tactics to locate these gorillas. The trackers get up very early every morning and explore the jungle for these mountain gorillas. In order to be found, they make raucous noises like clapping. Once they've located them, the trackers will inform the park headquarters, and the guides will then instruct the tourists on what to do and what not to do before directing them as they walk and trek through the forest. This increases your chances of sighting gorillas in the Nkuringo, Buhoma, Rushaga, or Ruhija gorilla zones by 99 percent. Depending on the availability of permits, you can choose to embark on a gorilla trek either at the beginning or conclusion of your safari. During your excursion on a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee safari, gorilla permits are mandatory. The price of the gorilla permits varies depending on whether gorilla trekking or gorilla habituation is selected as the activity. The cost of a gorilla trekk

Beware: Traveling with pets may cost you more than you think - 1 views

    A carry-on bag is included in Lana Joseph's ticket price whenever she flies from Cleveland to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on United Airlines. But if that carry-on includes Molly, her six-pound Yorkshire terrier, Joseph has to cough up an additional $250 round-trip. "That's way too much for a bag that goes under the seat," says Joseph, a retired hairstylist from Akron, Ohio, who spends her winters in South Florida. "I can see a small charge, but not an exorbitant fee." Welcome to the topsy-turvy world of pet travel - a world that some say shouldn't even exist. Americans spent an estimated $55.7 billion on pets last year, according to the American Pet Products Association, most of it on food and veterinary care. But an unknown portion of that amount also paid for plane tickets and accommodations for man's best friends. It's one thing to travel with a service animal, which performs an essential function for a disabled passenger. But it's quite another to bring your dog, cat, rabbit or bird on a leisure trip because you want to. APPA President Bob Vetere has called this the "humanization" of pets - or, in travel terms, the belief that Fluffy would be sad if you went on vacation without her. Depending on your perspective, the travel industry has either accommodated those feelings by offering pet-friendly rooms, restaurants and flights, or it has preyed on them by adding fees and surcharges that do little more than line its pockets. Certainly, accommodating a live animal can be an extra burden on any company. Airlines are required to file monthly reports with the Transportation Department on pets that were lost, injured or died during transport. United has reported a total of 89 pet deaths since 2005, according to the Web site ThirdAmendment.com . Still, United's travel program for animals, called PetSafe, is said to be one of the most pet-friendly in the airline industry. United inherited PetSafe from Continental Airlines when the two merged in

Wonderful Asia: English Proficiency and Language Barrier, Westhill Consulting Travel an... - 1 views

  •  
    One of the reasons why many westerners hesitate on traveling to Asia is because of language barriers. Indeed, Asia is a home for thousands of different tongues on top of hundreds of cultures. Communication may be a problem, relaying the message you want may be a daunting challenge and surviving may be questionable. Or, it may not be an existing problem at all. According to English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT) and International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Asian countries are not altogether illiterate in speaking and understanding the universal language. If so, there are countries which can even speak English as fluent as any native can. Surprise surprise! They also have educational system which teaches English language and international affairs where English language is being used to properly communicate. Business districts in many capitals like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Jakarta, Indonesia use English in a day to day basis. You may even be surprised to meet a young child who has not gone to school or mingled with foreigners but can speak and understand English. So for those who are just finding some dumb excuse to visiting Asia and its wonders, your complaints are invalid. But if you must, you can learn simple tips to overcome language barriers. 1. Learn simple phrases beforehand It does no harm to review new language as it does not mean that you will totally abandon your own mother tongue. Simple greetings like thank you, good morning or excuse me can be a good start. To get by, you can learn basic conversational phrases revolving around things like restrooms, food and directions. Simply perfecting "how do you say this" or "what this is" can be simple ways of learning bits of the language. 2. Pay attention to non-verbal languages 90% of human communication comes from non-verbal languages. Gestures are of a global scale and it can be understood by anyone regardless of c

Traveler's Checklist - 1 views

  •  
    Do all the people you know travel? Are they already asking you to join them and that you are already itching yourself to? However, a trip requires careful planning. Before you pack your bags and hitch hike with your friends, Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours has listed some important steps you can take to prepare for a safe trip anywhere: Be Aware of Any Travel Alerts and Warnings for Your Destination The State Department may issue Travel Warnings to recommend postponing travel to a country because of widespread civil unrest, dangerous conditions, terrorist activity or, in some cases, because the your country has no diplomatic relations with the country and may have great difficulty in assisting foreign citizens in distress. Travel Alerts disseminate information quickly about terrorist threats or other relatively short-term or transnational conditions that could pose significant risks to you and affect your travel plans. Do You Have All Required Travel Documents? Most foreign countries require a valid passport to enter and leave. Some countries may allow you to enter with only a birth certificate, or with a birth certificate and a driver's license, but all persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air, must present a valid passport to reenter the United States. Some countries have the strictest policies in knowing fraud passports entering their country. What about your children? Some countries have instituted requirements to help prevent child abductions and may require travelers to present proof of relationship to the children and evidence of consent from any non-accompanying parent(s). Visit our child abduction country information pages for information about your destination. When does your passport expire? Some countries require that a traveler's passport be valid for at least six months beyond the dates of the trip. Contact the embassy of your foreign destination for more information. For

    If you think you can think you have traveled to every farfetched tourist spots in Asia, think again. We may have beaten you in finding exotic and unseen tourist spots in the region yet. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours in Jakarta have this outrageous list of must-go places in the most extremes of Asia. These are the list of some of the many wonders that people living in a melting pot of races are: Shodoshima, Japan Foreigners rarely travel the roads to these lush olive groves, hot springs and wild monkeys. The 817-meter Mount Hoshigajo-san, which translates as "Mount Kingdom of Stars," is an excellent vantage point for Shodoshima's scenic landscape, including the famous Kankakei and Choshi-kei valleys. The island's many hot springs provides reprieve for tired feet after a long day of country rambling. Ratu Boko, Indonesia The Yogyakarta region is practically a museum of Indonesia's dynastic history. The famed Buddhist temple Borobodur and its Hindu counterpart Prambanan typically lure crowds for its detailed relief. Nearby, however, the oft-overlooked palace complex of Ratu Boko provides an even more imaginative glimpse of the region's cultural and religious origins. Set on a ridge called the Thousand Hills, Ratu Boko offers expansive views of Prambanan as well as Java's most active volcano, Mt Merapi. Only the foundation of the palace remains, as do former bathing pools. A mysterious well near the complex's cremation site is a place of pilgrimage for the region's Hindus, who say the water has sacred properties. The archeological site is just a plane away from the country's capital, Jakarta. Haputale, Sri Lanka The misty Haputale is a wonder at dawn like any other hidden mountain secrets in the world.

Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours Review: What to know before traveling to Jakarta - 2 views

  •  
    Be cautious during the flood seasonAka "Banjir" which happens during December to April, particularly in lower parts of the city, flooding is pretty rampant. This happens more especially in areas nearby rivers.Public transit is untrustworthy and irregular Buses and trains are not the best method to get around. Expats who live in Jakarta usually have drivers. Fortunately, taxis are common; but it could be problematic catching one during rush hour. Rush hour occurs during 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Watch out for taxi scams There are a few different choices taxi companies Jakarta. It is typically best practice to stick with the higher end Silverbird taxi line (Mercedes Benz vehicles) to avoid being taken "the scenic route." In this cases fraud always occurs. Motorcycle taxis are not legal But they do exist illegally. Maybe after you experience motorcycle taxi, you may tell yourself, never again. Definitely for the native Indonesian hitching a motorbike ride to work may be well and good but for the foreigner, it is a perfect way to be caught in scam. Be watchful with your belongings According to some reviews, common travelers had more problems in places like Barcelona than Jakarta. Resembling to any tourist destination just be conscious of your surroundings. And if you decide to make way to a more penurious area, or basically a busy mall, don't carry a designer bag and wear a diamond necklace. No need to make yourself a major target. On the whole, Jakarta is pretty safe According to a blogger, she has never felt any imminent threat while living there. And it is not only her living in the city; she has a family, too. Traffic is terrible This is probably what you always see in reviews. I don't think there could be any guide/overview of Jakarta without stating the horrific traffic. In fact, one of the biggest hazards may be crossing a busy intersection. Seemingly it makes Bangkok look like rush hour in
