Benefits of Air Travel
Have you always dreamt of seeing the world, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people? Perhaps its time for you to do some traveling. If you haven’t done a lot of traveling before, you might benefit from some of the following tips, including how to arrange cheap travel, how to decide where to travel to, where to find travel trailers, and whether or not you need travel insurance for your trip.
Commercial airlines have made it possible for people to travel almost anywhere in the world for fairly affordable prices. Of course air travel isn’t cheap, but a six hour flight is certainly faster and more convenient than a thirty day boat ride. Air travel has also broken many barriers and allowed families to live in different countries and still keep in touch. In fact, air travel between countries is so cheap in some parts of the world that it’s often the cheapest way to travel. For instance, one of the cheapest modes of transportation in Europe at the moment is air travel.
No frills airlines offer some very cheap flights if you book them well in advance. Often, you only have to pay the airport fees. Another benefit of air travel is that it’s one of the safest modes of travel. It often seems as if there are more fatalities from plane crashes because plane crashes are so highly publicized, when in fact, you’re far more likely to die in a car accident than a plane crash. If you’re planning a trip, remember that booking air travel tickets well in advance can save you a lot of money. Air travel is also cheaper if you are flexible about your destination.
For example, if you just want a return trip to Europe from Canada, you can often find two-way travel tickets under two hundred dollars. You can also save money on little things, like bringing your own travel headphones instead of buying a set from the airline. If you’re taking a longer air travel trip, you can expect at least one meal and a movie or two during your flight. However, air travel’s not all sunshine and unicorns – if you’ve ever been on an airplane before you know how scary the toilets are. I always imagine that I’ll be sucked out of the plane when I flush the toilet.
Cheap travel is usually easier if you plan ahead. You can buy travel guides specifically for cheap travel that offer tips on how to save money on everything from flights to bus fares to accommodations, and meals. If you want you can also join a travel club where the prices are cheaper than you would usually find. One club called Travel Ventures International or TVI claims to take pride in its ability to offer the discount travel and weekend packages.
Time Travel – The 10 Things I Would Go Back In Time & Do But Not Impregnate Eve Of Adam & Eve Fame!
My favorite science fiction theme is time travel. I’m obsessed with it. I love all the paradoxes and possibilities, specifically about going back to the past and solving mysteries or changing the present. If time travel were possible and you were allowed to go back in time, what 10 things would you do? For arguments sake, your only limits are you can not bring any physical objects from the past back with you and you can not knowingly try to change historical events. IE, You couldn’t be the father of Eve’s first child! You also can not store objects in the past and reclaim them in your present. You are allowed to carry back a digital camcorder to record things as long as you bring it back with you to the present. You can go back in time any amount of years.
The 10 Things I Would Go Back in Time and Do in No Set Order:
1. Solve Crime Mysteries: I’d secretly observe and video Lee Harvey Oswald to see if he really killed Kennedy and find out what happened to Joan Bonet & Nancy Holloway & bluesman Robert Johnson. Note, I am not allowed to change their fate as this would alter history (world events).
2. Be the first lover before they became famous of Marilyn Monroe, Sophie Loren, Raquel Welch, Jane Mansfield, Lynda Carter & Ursula Address.
3. Buy Domain Names: I could purchase internet domain names before they skyrocketed up in price and have my identity be a secret and make a lot of money when I collect in the present.
4. See and hang out with the great rock groups and legendary blues musicians before they made it big. Imagine seeing the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Hendrix in Small Clubs and sharing a joint with them and seeing Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Magic Sam and other blues greats in small dives and drink with them. I’d also video everything.
5. Hang out with Babe Ruth and pitch batting practice to him & go to a 1927 Yankees game
6. Watch the lost film, Lon Chaney’s “London after Dark” and make a Camcorder shot of it.
7. Look up my beautiful ex-girlfriend before she became jaded & be her first boyfriend.
8. Spend time with my deceased father & my deceased best friend.
9. Go to Roswell and video what really happened.
10. Go to a play featuring John Wilkes Booth.
