About Traveling – Vacations – Holiday Tips

Archive for September, 2009

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked haven between India and China , and it is often described as the last place you will find traditional Himalayan Buddhist culture. It is virtually surrounded by the Himalayas, and for centuries has been a difficult place to visit.

Bhutan opened its doors to tourism on a limited scale over thirty years ago, so now it is possible to think in terms of a Bhutan vacation.

The Kingdom of Bhutan is known locally as The Land of The Thunder Dragon, and it is one of the most isolated and least well developed nations in the world.

It is difficult to comprehend a place like Bhutan which is a kingdom whose main issue is with happiness. Everybody seems happy, cultural values and traditions remain unchanged since Buddhism began to be the dominant religion in the 7th Century. In other words the world that we live in today has left Bhutan largely untouched.

You will fall in love with the beauty of Bhutan, the lack of pollution, be it 21st century rubbish, or the noise of pop music machines. The scenery and architecture will hold you spellbound, and you will find the people quite the most charming, and very hospitable.

In a life that is dictated by routines, vacations and travelling is a thing that helps keep us sane. The idea of taking annual leaves regularly makes a lot of sense. The last thing any of us want, on his or her travel, is a non-compatible travel partner. If you are on your own, traveling with a friend or looking for a travel companion, a few tips might help you from having a trip to hell. Here are seven tips for traveling as a couple:

• Decide upfront why you are going and what you want to get out of the trip.

• Money has the potential of destroying the best of friendships, let alone create problems if your travel companion is a mere acquaintance. Its best to decide what, where, and how much you will be spending on mutual expenses.

• Prepare a tentative itinerary; places you want to visit, things to do and time to be spent at each location.

• Travelling with some one has benefits, but even then, you should get sometime to yourself. Make allowance for time that each will be spending on their own.

Is the insurance salesman trying to sell you whole life insurance again? Gross. Your accountant tells you to buy term insurance and invest the difference because it is a better bet. Your life insurance guy tells you that he can set you up with a variable fixed universal product that is out-of-this-world and will solve world hunger someday.

Shouldn’t it be easier to get a cheap, fast term insurance quote?

Yes.

And to make it even better than that — term life insurance is often sold right over the phone by some of the top insurance companies that you have heard of and trust. Term life insurance is simply too easy to screw up — and it doesn’t pay very high of a commission to the life insurance salesmen so they don’t like to sell it very often.

But for the consumer who is doing all they can to make ends meet and scraping by each month… many times the term life insurance product is the life insurance product that just plain makes the most sense. It costs the least, you can quit paying if you don’t like the product and should something change, you can usually upgrade your term policy into a whole life one no matter what — a term sometimes referred to as “guaranteed insurability”.

Don’t fall for the whole life insurance gag. Unless you have to.

Unless you are some kind of crazy person or work in the insurance industry, you probably don’t follow insurance news very much. But by not following the news, you might have missed out on something that can end up saving you money each month on your insurance premiums. What is the news?

Many insurance companies have lowered their premiums for new customers.

While you won’t catch your insurance company calling you up to say “hey, pay us less money”, what you will find is that by shopping around a little bit, you will probably be surprised at how much money you can save by switching insurance companies.

Insurance companies have to compete with one another and when times get tough, people and companies have to get competitive. This means that you can take advantage of it with not much effort. Getting multiple insurance companies to give you a quote is easier than ever and should be free to you as the consumer. If you have heard the “when banks compete you win” motto, it is also true with insurance companies.

So don’t delay in getting your free insurance quotes – be sure to get quotes from all of the big companies for each one of your policies and you may find that all of the sudden it feels like you got a raise at work!
