Travel to France by Car

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

If you would like to discover France, it is a good way to drive around the region by car.

You don’t need a visa to enter France for visits of less than three months. Naturally, a valid passport is required.

You can use carpool services and find car going in your direction. It is cheaper and it can be fun. You can also book car rental in France from any country, there are several car hire websites to compare. Online services are simple and fast way of car booking.

If you rent a car in France, you must own a valid driver license for at least one year. Minimum age is 23 years old and 21 for credit card holders. Rates include maintenance and oil.

In the case of driving overseas, you have to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP). An International Driving Permit (IDP) allows you to drive abroad when accompanied by a valid U.S. driver license.

IDPs are valid for 1 year from the date of issue. These licenses are not intended to replace valid U.S. state licenses, you have to use them together. Keep driving license and all car paperwork with you all the time.

To apply for an international driving permit, you must be at least 18 years old, and you can obtain it at the American Automobile Association (AAA) or at the American Automobile Touring Alliance.

U.S. citizens may notice that road conditions differ significantly from those in the United States. Like all the countries, the French have special driving habits. They typically drive faster and more aggressively than Americans (they are also faster on foot, actually they almost run).

Some rules may differ from those in the United States.
For example drivers entering intersections from the right have priority over those on the left (unless specifically indicated otherwise), even when entering relatively large boulevards from small side streets.

Note that all distance and speed measurements are in km. Before you start driving, study the rules deeply.

Don’t forget the auto insurance. Usually your U.S. auto insurance does not cover you abroad. When renting a car abroad, consider purchasing insurance coverage that is at least equivalent to that which you carry at home.

When you park in the city, it is safer to park in a hotel car park or in underground parking lots. These are indicated by a blue sign with a white background, marked “P.”

Pay-and-Display park meters accept only special cards which can be purchased in tobacco shops. Check the information on the machines, because parking is often free during lunchtimes and after 8 pm. Never leave anything of value on view in the car.

Day Trips In Costablanca

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

If you’re planning a trip to Costa Blanca, sometimes referred to as “Costablanca”, you’re in good company. This area on the eastern coast of Spain is a popular tourist destination because of its great weather, sandy beaches and wide range of available activities.

Costa Blanca runs along the Mediterranean, from the mountain town of Denia, down through Benidorm, one of the most popular resort areas in Spain, and continues down to Torreviejo. The coastline is dotted with small villages and larger towns, each with something unique to offer.

Getting There

Visitors to the area generally fly into Alicante, the largest international airport in the region. Tourism is at its peak in summer, so be sure to book your accommodations in advance. By planning in advance, you may find that you’re able to get the best deals on flights, hotels and car rentals.

Once you arrive, you’ll have many choices of transportation available to you. A car offers the most comfort and flexibility; however, some travelers would prefer not to drive. If this is the case, there are other options, such as buses, taxis or trains. If you use the rail system, you’ll find that it’s a great way to see multiple cities during your trip.

Costa Blanca Attractions

Whether you’re a fan of history, culture, shopping or just relaxing on the beach, you’ll find something here that you enjoy. The capital of Alicante is a great starting point for your adventures, as it’s close to a variety of cultural attractions.

The Castell de Santa Barbara will bring you back through history, with its moats, drawbridges and dungeons. It dates back to 400 BC and was used by the Romans and Moors. Panoramic views of the city and the bay can be seen from the top of the castle.

Another popular point of interest is the Isla Tabarca. It’s a short ferry ride from Allocate. It’s a great place to unwind, as it’s generally known as a quiet fishing village with relaxing beaches.

Benidorm is the most popular resort area in Costa Blanca. Tourists are attracted to this area and its 1000 restaurants and 30 night clubs.

Near Benidorm, you’ll find Villajoyosa, which translates to “joyful town”. Its brightly colored buildings add to the upbeat ambiance of this small, beachside village. It’s attracts visitors from near and far with its famous chocolate.

The towns of Javea and Denia lie on the northernmost coast of the Costa Blanca. These small towns appeal to travelers looking for an opportunity to explore nature, away from the hustle and bustle of more populous cities like Alicante and Benidorm. You’ll find nature parks and a relaxed atmosphere in this area of the coast.

Whether you’re looking for an active vacation, or want to kick back and relax, you’ll find something just for you in Costa Blanca.

Enjoy Las Vegas, Nevada in a Jaguar Car Rental

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

http://www.VoyagerClassics.com
Do you want to look at wildlife in a way other than that documentary on Animal Planet? Well in the Entertainment Capital of the World, you sure can do.

But first things first: How do we get there? Now I’m such a sucker for themes. And because our current theme is that of exploring wildlife, I say let’s take a Jaguar to lead us into the great wide open. The exotic car that it is, the Jaguar would be an apt choice of transportation. It is, after all, one of the most famous luxury automobiles manufactured. Their sleek lines, pristine leather, suave interiors, and smooth engines, it’s no wonder why these rides rule the streets. It has been the car of choice for those wealthy brokers in Wall Street New York, for a hefty price tag, at that. But fret not. You can drive one. This city, after all, is mushrooming with Jaguar car rental dealers that can loan you the king of the high streets for a day, at least.

Now with the Jaguar, let get headed to the rest of the pack: the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand Hotel. Experience a taste of the wild inside the Hollywood-themed MGM Grand. Every day, from 10:00am to 11:00pm, 6 wildcats such as lions, snow leopards, and tigers can be seen eating, playing, sleeping, and frolicking around in their special glass habitat at the Casino area. All 31 of these wildcats belong to the renowned feline expert Keith Evans and all live on a 8.5 acre ranch when they are not on exhibit. Now, what’s the best thing about these shows: they’re free, compliments of the MGM Grand.

Who says nature’s marvels stop in dry land? Surely, the ocean and what’s beneath it holds as much wonders as the world we set out feet on. Still on that rad Jaguar car rental, we speed off to the great open sea. Enter the Shark Reef Aquarium at the Mandalay Bay.

Come to Portugal for the Old-world Charm

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Portugal has a special place in the history of the world. There was a time when the world’s premier explorers and travelers were from Portugal. These explorers discovered new countries and continents during the course of their Reisen (Travel), and mapped the entire known world. Today people come to Portugal to experience this heritage, and have a beautiful time in their own holiday apartment, or Ferienwohnung as we call them in German.

For a long time the adventurous sailors of Portugal ruled the seven seas and controlled the trade among continents. Naturally the kingdom of Portugal was rich and powerful. These riches are reflected well in the architectural monuments of Portugal. There are over 150 castles and forts in the country. When you reisen to Portugal, make sure you visit some of these architectural wonders and see the historical glory of Portugal.

Portugal offers excellent facilities to travelers. You will find restaurants that offer fine dining, cities full of resplendent metro life, outdoors that are plush and green, high mountains and beautiful beaches. It’s a perfect place to visit with the entire family. You can easily rent a Ferienwohnung in any major town of Portugal and live there for an extended period of time peacefully.

Portugal’s capital is the city of Lisbon. Once it was among the leading cities of Europe and the center of the Portuguese empire. It was ravaged in an earthquake in 1775, and although it never got back its former glory, it should still be the most important spot in your reisen. You can easily rent a Ferienwohnung in Lisbon and see the city over a few days. There are several castles in the city and one must see every one of them.

Even in these modern, busy times, Portugal retains some of that old-world charm. For instance, you will still find horse-driven carriages. They’re not meant for commute, but only for tourists. As a dweller of an urban city, you will enjoy the opportunity to reisen in these cars of the old world. You will find Ferienwohnung for rent at the seaside in many towns of Portugal. These cottages are located in the center of beautiful locales, and are a perfect place for a romantic time out from work.

If you’re a foodie, Portugal has the perfect cuisine too. The city of Lisbon is famous for its seafood. There’s hardly a traveler who isn’t captivated by the Bass and Cockrel cooked by Portuguese chefs. If you are in a Ferienwohnung, you can order from a take-out, or a delivery restaurant and enjoy excellent dinners in your home. That’s why Portugal figures prominently on any gastronomic Reisen itinerary.

Portugal also has one of the most wonderful beach stretches in Europe. Algarve’s beautiful beaches are a rage. The beaches of Praia Da Luz and Armação de Pera attract thousands of visitors each year. If you play golf then you will enjoy the beautiful golf courses of Algarve. Many golf-fans Reisen to Portugal just to enjoy golf here. You can easily find a Ferienwohnung here for rent. In fact this region is so popular that many European families have built a permanent holiday home here.
