Reason for going to Alta Vista: Drinking from a coconut shell under the cool shade of the Terebinto trees in San Pedro De Lagunillas, my father and I started speaking to several of the old men who gathered there on a regular basis to recount legends, tales, and days of good times past. While talking of the ancient inhabitants of the region, one of the old men exclaimed, “The Apostle Matthew traveled in this area and preached the gospel.” I was somewhat astonished at this remark and tried to elicit more details. The old man insisted that prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, the ancients worshipped Christ, and that evidence of this could be found through the symbols of the Sanctuary, which was located in Alta Vista. As was the case with many |

How many times have you gone on trip, checking heavy luggage and dragging it awkwardly around, only to get home and realize you didn’t need or wear half of what you packed? Make your vacation more of a stress-free getaway by packing light and leaving the burden of those heavy bags behind.
Make a list of the “must takes”. You don’t want to forget your deodorant or toothbrush, or get to your destination without your camera, so before you start packing, make a quick list of everything you need. Include underwear and socks for each day you’ll be gone, and anything specific you need to take: a swimsuit, church clothes, wedding attire, ski goggles. It’s always good to pack a plastic bag for dirty clothes, but if you |

Dreaming about a family trip to Maui? You're sure to have the time of your life, but before you say "aloha," you've actually got to plan your adventure. Each family has its own set of needs, and traveling with children can be overwhelming. What do you want out of the trip? Here are a few points to consider as you plan your family trip to Maui:
Consider the age of your children. You can take an infant or toddler just about anywhere, but as they get older, you might want to explore an island with a range of activities and prospects. Maui is a family favorite due to its breathtaking natural beauty, diverse ecosystems, limitless excursions, and activities catering to kids of all ages. You'll find misty rainforests, picturesque beaches |

Bonnaroo is an amazing time for fun-loving music fans, but four days of camping can be a little overwhelming for some people. Don't let it ruin your fun! This festival held on a huge campground in Manchester, Tennessee draws in nearly 100,000 people each year from all over the country.
Decide how to get there. How far away do you live? Some people enjoy the road trip, but you also have to consider the drive back after 4 nights of concerts and partying. Flying is less tiring, but it is more difficult to bring all of the supplies that you need. Cheap flights are available through airlines like Jetblue (last year, I only spent $74 each way), and there is a shuttle from the Nashville airport to the campground -- about a 1 hour trip.

Airline passengers are starting to look like Hurricane Katrina survivors and that is not good. Unfortunately, both groups waited too long to get out and were willing to wait for the government to save them.
Why?
If the water is rising, find a boat. But, where are the boats? That is a question that needs to be asked before the water reaches your neck. The same is true at the airport. If delays are rising, find a way out.
You can no longer afford to go to the airport without an alternate plan in case weather, or an event, or lack of crews starts creating delays and cancellations. If your Boeing 757 gets cancelled and 250 passengers have to scramble to find ne |
