Submitted by: Steven Rivers

On your next trip, you must keep in mind the following things. Just a little consideration and planning can greatly increase your personal safety and security, wherever you happen to go.

* Dont travel with expensive possessions and be careful with cash and other valuables. Leave sentimental and irreplaceable things at home preferably.

* Protect your things like your passport, travel documentation, credit cards, traveler’s checks and a lot more. Putting them in a pouch or somewhere in your clothing is all recognized practice.

* Be wary but not suspicious about being at danger of becoming or being a robbery victim. You will result in spending huge amount of money on taxis everywhere as opposed to taking a walk or going around.

* Keep valuables hidden in crowded places.

* Never carry excess money you dont need, especially at night and don’t exhibit cash in crowded place under any circumstances. You must not make yourself visible and easy victim.

* Split and spread your cash and other money tools like traveler’s checks around your baggage. Never carry it all in one place.

* A good security tip is packaging your wallet with a rubber band or two to make it tougher for pickpockets to get it from your pocket without detection! Better yet, dont carry wallet at all. Instead, get a money belt.

* You must keep your luggage safe, with you and hide at night when you sleep.

* Dont leave your baggage or valuable in car, taxi, train or bus or other form of transportation

* Always check out at security screenings and customs checks to make sure that your things do not disappear. It’s always tough to be on your toes after a long international flight. You need to be alert!

* When it comes to customs, when beyond the duty-free limits, you have to expect that it will cost you dearly, about 10 % on the next $1000 worth of goods.

Here are the other budget travel tips from frequent travelers:

* You must avoid the duty-free attraction and trap. Naturally, all the shops in airports and train stations are luxurious. It is lore that you always save huge money! Actually, you can compare the next time you try to shop liquor or souvenirs against trusted quality mall stores. You might find to your surprise that the charges are higher!

* Be artistic with meals and do not hesitate to improvise and eat like the inhabitants. Like for example, a quick bite to eat on the beach, a picnic or in a park is one of the smartest ways to lessen expense on food and save more travel dollar for the evenings and dinners out.

* Be resourceful and nosy. You have to know as much as you can about your destination and prepare as well as you can, even for the unanticipated. Read any and all literature you can see on what you should know before departing like facts, warnings, entry requirements, advisories, demographics, crime statistics, local economy, attractions and special events for your dream travel.

* You must arm yourself with personal information. Having all your bank contact telephone numbers listed on a piece of paper, packed in your baggage and somewhere else on your person or in the hotel safe in a folder with your other valuables you want under lock and key is the best way to secure your financial interest. Knowing in advance who to call in case your credit cards or checks are lost or stolen is essential and will save you time and money and lessen the impact of any stealing and or result of lost, misplaced or stolen cards, wallets and travelers checks.

So, you need to plan, stay mindful, and enjoy your trip!

Rooster Weathervanes A History

Category : Cleaning Services

By Jesse Akre

Roosters have heralded the morning on the farm for years with their wake up call. They were the alarm clocks, and sometimes the bane of farmers. Now they can point you in the right direction.

Rooster weathervanes are growing in popularity. Not only are rooster weathervanes the seeming traditional dcor pieces for an old Americana feel, but the use of a rooster in decorating goes back much further.

Decorating with a rooster initially was very popular on dinnerware, as an honor and homage to a specific rooster.

For this story we are taking a trip back in time, to the time of renaissance Italy. In the town of Forin, lived the Medici’s, a very influential and powerful family. They were not against sharing their wealth and as a matter of fact they were preparing to put on a large dinner for all the local peasants when this story takes place. They had invited all the locals onto their land for the event, but not all were there to take part in the good will gesture. As the family slept that night, a group of assassins planned to kill them. They snuck towards the house and prepared to take part in their deadly plan when something stopped them. It was a loud noise that warned the family of the coming threat.

In this time and day there were none of the alarm monitoring systems we have today, there wasn’t even electricity. The loud alarm that seemed to have gone off was the family’s roosters. While the family was sleeping it seems the roosters in the yard were keeping an eye on things, just in case the sun came up early. As they spotted the motion of the assassins approaching, they started crowing incessantly. The noise woke the family who spotted the assassins, and they were caught.

Its not known if the roosters saw a light the assassins may have been holding to carry out their plan, and thought it was the sun, or if they were just watching out for the family and knew something was amiss, but the family appreciated it. As their way to show gratitude to the birds that saved their lives, they commissioned a set of pitchers that had the roosters face prominently displayed as their way to honor them.

The word of the luck of having roosters spread through Italy and soon everyone wanted items with roosters on them. For many generations, giving someone a pitcher or other piece of dinnerware with a rooster on it was a way to ward off bad luck.

In addition to having roosters on your dinnerware, you could also sport this lucky bird on your roof, with rooster weathervanes, and let him look down over your family, watching for anyone up to no good.

While they cant herald the morning with a cock a doodle do, rooster weathervanes can herald the change of weather by pointing the way and giving you something to crow about as a storm moves in, or nicer weather blows your direction.
