Unless you’re down to your last dollar, the cheapest travel deal isn’t necessarily going to be the best deal for you. It seems that every street corner, and every second website is flogging a travel deal these days. Whilst the abundance of options is wonderful, the job of trying to sort out the best deal from the mountain of offers can be overwhelming.

Firstly, you need to set the budget that you have to work with, and secondly, you need to settle on your “Where, What, When and How”. No need for a “Why”, I’m guessing you already know why you need a holiday.!

Assuming you know how much money you have to spend, you then have to sort out Where you want to go. What you want to do there. When you want to go, and How you plan on getting there.

Once you have your budget and the three W’s and your H sorted out, you are ninety percent of the way there.

Always plan as far ahead as possible – the trend these days is to sell off airfares and packages in stages, with the cheapest going first, so it’s “first in, best dressed”.

It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life and half way through this adventure, I wished I had never been stupid enough to try it. Yet at the finish of this adrenaline pumping experience, my tortured body was ready to start again.

How crazy is that?

 Our gut wrenching adventure was trying to tame North Queensland’s mighty Tully River clinging to flimsy inflatable rafts and battling rapids and rocks on our watery journey from the top of the Great Dividing Range down to the coastal plain.

 Adventure travel is big in Australia but few can match the pulse raising thrills of wrestling a tiny inflatable raft against the power of a raging torrent. I tried it and lived to tell the tale with memories that will last forever.

 Fear and Anticipation.

As our “Raging Thunder” bus towing a trailer loaded with rafts climbed to the top of the Great Dividing Range, the nervous group of men and women shared mixed emotions. Our admiration for the beauty of the pristine rainforest was tempered by the fear of the challenges that lay ahead. 

Our fears turned to terror when we saw and heard our pathway to the bottom of the range. It was like a scene from the movie “Deliverance”. A fearsome white and brown bucking bronco was eagerly waiting for us. 

One nervous backpacker from Tulsa Oklahoma took one look at the white, foaming torrent and said, “I can’t do it!” Tearfully, she retreated to the safety of the bus.  Read more...

While there is an increased trend in the number of bailouts by the government recently, it is not all that of a new topic. Throughout US history, there have been many government bailouts, beginning in the 1970’s. The only difference is that today, the dollar amount of the bailouts has increased to great proportions. Until the recent hype of the stock market issues and the takeover of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the term bailout was not something Americans used in everyday language. I believe it is due to the high influence of the media these days that bailouts are more widely covered these days along with the decrease in our economic efficiency. These billions and billions of dollars spent on these bailout programs may help the businesses that need it but it must also affect our economy in ways that are not effective.

To explain, a bailout usually comes about to prevent a business from going under because it is believed that the effects of the collapse will be much worse on the economy than to help liquidate the assets until the business can get back onto its feet. The government is most likely the one to fund the bailout, by ways of loans to be repaid once the business is back on its feet. Beginning with the first bailout in our governments’ history, the Penn Central Railroad, at a mere $3.2 billion, it is nothing compared to the recent $700 billion cop out plan to aid in the mortgage crisis. It does not look as if the bailout route will go away anytime soon.
