Being able to talk to the local people of China can make your trip a lot more friendly and more of a positive experience. You can also ask for help a lot easier and get to see a lot more of the interesting parts of China by being able to communicate effectively while you are there.

Winter is Bargain Time for Cruises
If this is your first time booking a winter cruise, some destinations like the Bahamas and the Caribbean are perfect getaway locations. Many vacationers want to leave the ice and snow behind and enjoy the tropical waters. There are low prices available from most cruise lines, but some have more offers than others do.
Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) is offering a new type of cruising, called “Freestyle cruising”. Freestyle cruising gives passengers the flexibility to select what time and what theme they want for dinner, whether they want to dress up or select casual venues, and when they want to have free time to play. Now, travelers are able to do more of the activities they like, and less of the activities they do not like.
It is important to plan early to find the best prices and options. In January, the Caribbean is warm and comfortable, while most locations in the northern hemisphere are in the depths of winter. It is possible to find five night cruises for $300 or less per passenger and nine-day trips starting at under $700. With these prices, it is difficult to resist the temptation of leaving the cold behind and enjoying a relaxing cruise. Even if you have a last-minute vacation opportunity this winter, do not forget to check for price breaks. Some cruise lines have last minute deals that require you leave very quickly. If your travel schedule is flexible enough, these opportunities may be perfect for you.

Factors in Finding a Budget Vacation
There are two factoaay a big role in the amount ofy you can save andedyour budget travel. The time of the year when you go ahe destination of where you are traveling t.e two factors cany make a big difference in the amount of money that you spend on your vacation. Not only the vacation itself, but the airfare can make a big difference. Choosing to go to a tropical destination like the Caribbean in the summer months can cut your travel expenses drastically compared to travelling to a destination like that and going in the winter months when it is more expensive to travel to tropical destinations. Choosing the right time of year on many certain kinds of vacations can make a big impact on how much you willl spend on hotels and the rates of other amenities while you are there.
Planning a Budget Vacation
When you are planning a budget vaation, you want to keep in mind that you are going to save a lot of money if you wait to go to a seasonal destination in the off months rather than travelling there in the peak months of travel. Going on a family cruise in the late spring, summer or early fall will save you a bundle of money versus waiting until the colder and windter months of the year to go. Going in the later spring months when not so many people are travelling there will not only save you money in getting there but can also save you money while you are there on vacation. The same logic is used if you are going anywhere seasonal or planning a honeymoon when it is a popular time of year when there are a lot of weddings. Most vacation hot spots are aware of the busiest times of years and can even increase the amount of amentities and raise the prices of certain kinds of activities during their busy months. If you look carefully, you can watch for reduced travel and lodging rates. If you use a travel website, you can also get set up for alerts that will let you know when the price drops and can make it a lot more affordable.

Historical Locations to Visit in Great Britain
When you are planning your next trip to Great Britain, consider an historical themed side-trip. Many castles, cathedrals and historic places give tours on a daily basis. Some of the most famous historic sites are known the world over. Here is a short list of sites to consider when you are designing your travel plan:
Tintagel Castle
If you have ever wondered about King Arthur or any Arthurian lore, then Tintagel Castle is the place to visit. While today, the castle is a ruin, it is still a fascinating trip. While walking on the paths through the ruins, it is hard not to imagine the grand battle between Merlin and Morgan de Fay. In legend, Merlin (also known as Mernyl) lost the battle and was placed to rest nearby in a cave filled with ancient magic and knowledge.
Glastonbury
Another site that is steeped in the Arthurian legend is Glastonbury. This site is believed to be the final burial site of Arthur and Guinevere. Glastonbury is also believed to be the location of the island of Avalon. Today, visitors are able to tour the Glastonbury Tor – a large manmade hill – that was once the location of a cathedral. The bell tower (called the Tor) is the last remaining structure of the cathedral. When the mists cover the town of Glastonbury, it is easy to imagine that below the mists lay the lake that was home of the legendary Lady of the Lake.
The city of Glastonbury is also part of the grail legend. A well, located in the city, is thought to be a potential resting place of the Holy Grail. Pilgrims from around the world come to drink from the water and offer prayers.
Bath
Bath, England is a distinctive city located on the river Avon. The naturally occurring hot springs attracted the Romans, who named the place Aquae Sulis, and built a series of baths that are still available to tour. The city was a popular resort and spa during the Georgian era, resulting in a large variety of Georgian architecture. The Bath stone Georgian crescent building still attract tourists. Bath Abbey, known as the site of King Edgar’s coronation in 973, is still an active place of worship. The city is a striking and memorable place to visit.
Stonehenge
Visitors from around the world make trips to see this remarkable site. Stonehenge was believed to be built between 3,000 BCE, and 1,600 BCE with stones transported from a quarry located in Northern France. Almost nothing is known about this historical location. Archaeological work on the site has indicated that it may have been the burial site for an ancient king. The main feature of this man-made ruin is the unusual alignment of stones that appear to work like an astronomical observatory. The structure appears to be aligned with the rising sun of the winter solstice and the setting sun of the summer solstice.
London
London has many of Great Britain’s most well known landmarks and historical sites. The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge are close enough to visit as a group. There are also red tour buses to take you through the city. London is known for a large selection of museums and art galleries such as the Tate Art Gallery or the world famous British Museum

Winter RV Holiday-General Tips for Winter RV Camping
Making the most of your fun-filled family RV trip in the deep cold of winter starts with choosing the right vehicle. A smaller RV is usually recommended as it loses less heat but even a bigger vehicle can be as warm for the occupants if properly insulated. There are also specialised RVs that are designed for colder temperatures. These normally incorporate high-grade insulation that offers greater protection in extreme weather conditions. Another point to note is that on icy winter roads it can be much trickier navigating, say, a truck-‘n’-trailer (mobile home) than a motor home, which is a one piece trailer with its own engine. However, a lot factors may influence your choice of RV, such as number of occupants, duration of holiday and what kind of sites you’ll be camping at. Also make sure you pack appropriate camping equipment so you can enjoy the cold weather without getting stuck in it!
It goes without saying that the right camping ground is a big factor in the kind of holiday you have. In winter it may be that bit more crucial to find a campsite that offers electrical outlets so you can cosy up your motor home without having to ‘woolly mammoth’ it while you camp. And remember, if your destination campsite doesn’t offer electrical outlets and your RV needs that extra degree of warmth, it’s always a good idea to invest in a run-along generator. A bit of research and comparison on what’s out there should give you a better idea of the optimal mix that suits your kind of travel and camping preferences.
And finally, you hopefully won’t be spending all your time inside the vehicle so the kind of clothing you take along is of some consequence. For the more exciting parts of your trip, hiking boots, sports gear or add-ons are a must in snowbound areas. And for everyday use an extra set of warm clothes, pair of boots and towels are advisable just in case you spend a little too long making snow-angels! And lastly – food. Possibly the most crucial factor in determining how your trip to the campsite and your trip back from there goes, it needs the most forethought. It’s always a good idea to pack long-lasting food products, tinned foods and dry foods that will keep well just in case of an unavoidable and unexpected delay on your trip. Don’t be sorry, be safe!

Dogs Allowed-Pet Friendly Trips for Your Entire Family
It’s likely your holiday plans this year don’t necessarily involve flying to some glamorous location and that can easily mean a fur-friendly vacation! If you’d have had to pay for their kennel or housing while you were away in any case, why not take them along? And of course, if it’s in the country or the beach, that means plenty of run-around room for the four-legged one and a chance for your entire family to forge a stronger bond and create fond new memories.
This does require, however, a certain amount of forethought and planning related to your means of transport and accommodation. If you do not own your own caravan or motor home then it’s worthwhile to look into hotels that allow favoured fur-balls. Many hotels have a no-pet policy that keeps their guests happy but keeps you on the road. So a good place to start your search is the market niche of pet-friendly Bed & Breakfasts and hotels in the UK. These B&B’s and hotels will either let you keep your pet with you in your room or they’ll have a designated kennel/living area for the little one. There are even some rental cottages that can house your whole family, pets included, and mean you get your own space to live and run around in – as does your pet!
In any case, since most hotels now state quite clearly whether they are pet-friendly or not, it will be an easy enough search to find suitable accommodation in your preferred holiday location. It’s common sense that countryside retreats are more likely to have pet-friendly policies than urban sites, as are popular hiking locations such as the Lake District in Cumbria, Devon and Wales. Here is common practice for pet-owning families to bring their furry companions along for a change of scenery and exercise.
Really, with the rise of pet-friendly accommodations across the board and if you’re paying for someone to ‘pet-sit’ your dog anyway, there’s more reason than ever to plan vacations with every family member in mind! Your pet will certainly love you for it once they’re splashing around in a stream or barking up the right tree (for once!). So go ahead – start planning that next vacation at a ‘Dogs Welcome’ location!
