Start now - 10 Quick-fixes

These are not in any order - you can do any combinations of these any times a day or at minimum, once a day. Continue this daily and vary the activities so that it does not come to be a habit and you won't get bored.

1. Playing good music loudly

• This just makes me want to freestyle dance, all the time brings a smile to my face and leaves me feeling carefree and light. Disco and Abba is great for me. Also samba. Anything with a great African based rhythm. I stay away from death metal - that gives me a headache. I also like classical music - it's peaceful and lyrical and puts me in a calm, serene state.

• Choose songs that immediately make you smile, move or calms you down. Pandora.com is a free radio middle point on the internet - enter one of your favorite songs and it will find you songs of a similar type. Make any compilations: happy dance songs, peaceful calming songs etc.

• If music is not your thing, move on to the next action.

2. Do your favorite exercises that make you sweat and your heart pumping for at least 20 mins to 1 hr. The foremost part is the sweating and the heart pumping. The natural endorphins your body releases will make you feel better. If you have a friend who is positive, rehearsal with them but don't discuss the problem. You just need to publish the negative energy. I propose doing these at least 2-3 times per week. I rehearsal daily.

• I go out dancing - salsa, hustle, ballroom, argentine tango, swing, freestyle, hip-hop, samba, belly-dancing. I all the time feel happy, excited and centered after dancing hard. The more stressed I am, the later I stay out dancing. In my corporate years, I would dance every night until 2-4am. I may be tired the next day, but I find I am in a better mood and when handling conflict, it brings about a better succeed when I am not emotionally attached to the problem. The other side benefits are that dancing has kept me salutary and fit and my dance technique has improved from all that practice. Now, I am a ballroom dance coach.

• Other examples - horse-back riding, wind-surfing, surfing, running, walking briskly, cycling, kick-boxing, spinning, skiing, snow-boarding, aerobics, swimming, racquetball, water-polo, swimming etc.

• If you do not have rehearsal in your life, you need to get started now. Not only will it help you with your current situation, the long term benefits to your health and thinking well-being is enormous. If you continue to rehearsal normally at least 2-3 times per week, this will help you in your path to enduring happiness and health.

3. Take a class in your area of passion or interest - learning will take your mind temporarily away from your problems, and get you out of your routine.

• I love to learn so it puts me in a good mood. It has also solved many of my problems. I take business, marketing, sales, leadership, personal development, dance or art lessons. In the past, I've taken golfing, skiing, drumming, piano, surfing, wind-surfing, framing, yoga, pilates lessons. If you are on tiny funds, there are plentifulness of free webinars/teleconferences on the internet. The other alternative is to learn from a book, Cd or Dvd which you can borrow from your local library. My personal library is filled with books on leadership, business, marketing, sales, success, personal development, framing, art, dance and biographies of enchanting people.

• I signed up for Ballroom instructor training to help sacrifice the disagreement in the middle of my boyfriend and me when I was teaching him ballroom. My teachers hired me to teach their beginner Ballroom classes after my first semester and I graduated top of my class 16 months later. Now, I transform lives straight through coaching, ballroom dancing and art!

• If you have insecurities about learning, don't do this yet. Build up your belief first.

4. Teach someone else your expertise/passion/interest

• I cannot tell you the estimate of times my students have for real fallen straight through my door with gasps of "You cannot believe the day/week/month I've had" and left relaxed with a smile on their faces after 2 hours of painting. Or they leave rejuvenated and ready to conquer the world after one my of group or hidden dance lessons. In the case of first time beginners, the joy I see on their faces and the light in their eyes when they study they can do something that they never belief they could. It is transformational for them. Or when clients call up overwhelmed and distraught and I am able to get them calm, happy, optimistic and armed with an performance plan. Even when I'm having a rough day, helping my students and clients and receiving these inevitable emotions back all the time lifts me up and energizes me.

• Even if you do not think you can teach, you should give it a try. I used to be afraid to ask questions in class and could not speak publicly until the age of 20. I propose beginning in a 1:1 situation if this is new to you. You can start with a house member or friend. someone who is supportive and cares about you and needs your help. Then you can work your way to smaller groups. Who knows, this may lead to your next career. Working in the computer industry and in startups forced me speak normally to large and small groups of people all over Asia Pacific, Europe and Us. My art and dance technique has improved tremendously straight through teaching. Worst case, you are just going to get better in your area of expertise/passion/interest.

5. Read an inspirational book, an inspirational blog or watch an inspirational movie or biography show on Tv.

• I like reading autobiographies and biographies of real people and how they have risen above their circumstances or adversities. Some people find this depressing, I find it motivational. It's like - "Well, if they can get over this, so can I". Some of my favorite books are:

"Wild Swans: The three daughters of China" by Jung Chang,

"Such a long journey" by Rohinton Mistry,

"Stolen Lives" by Malika Oufkir and Michele Fitoussi,

"Daughter of Destiny - an autobiography" by Benazir Bhutto,

"The autobiography of Quincy Jones" by Quincy Jones,

"Jack: level from the Gut" by Jack Welch and John A Byrne

"The Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay - don't see the movie, read the book. Even though it's fiction, I for real identified with the lonely tiny boy. And so many other books I could not bring with me as I've moved around so much.

• I loved the movie "Seabiscuit"... I am "Seabiscuit" - I didn't fit in, was once a cripple, do not look like every person else and was staggering to fail. The biography movies and shows on Tv profiling victorious company people, musicians, artists, athletes and world leaders have been eye-opening and enchanting - Warren Buffet, Oprah, Bill Gates, Sting, Jon Bon Jovi, Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Christina Aguilera, Gandhi, Malcolm X, Ray Charles, Mohammed Ali, Tina Turner, Olga Korbut, Oksana Baiul etc.

• I bought "The Millionaire Maker" book by Loral Langemeier to help solve my boyfriend's problem; I ended up reading the book and signing up for their coaching services. My coaches recognized my vast personal experience in the arena of life transformations, my skills in teaching others and led me to my life purpose as a coach!

• Your local library is a great free reserved supply for books and some movies. Netflix.com is great for easy convenient passage to movies. I buy my books from Amazon.com - there is a used section if you have tiny funds.

6. Call up or visit a friend

• Friends who have more problems than you - make him/her feel better.

I have a few friends in this kind - I don't tell them about what I'm going through. I just focus on them, make them laugh or tell them what a great mother/father/son/daughter/grandparent they are and how if they were my parents or siblings or grandparents, I would be so lucky. Then I strike for home to tell them about how they are special. If they are in the midst of a crisis, I see what I can do to help. It's surprising how swiftly you can gain perspective on your problems when someone else you care about is facing life or death situations.

• Friends who are wise happy souls who can put things in perspective.

My friends, students, staff, clients confide in me when they are having problems - I'm their wise happy soul. It makes me feel good and adds to my happiness when I'm able to bring a smile to their face or provide some relief for their emotional pain. I normally ask them in the big task of things, if they were to die tomorrow, how foremost is this pain/adversity compared to all the splendid things they have going on in their lives?

I have one close friend who I call when I'm in the middle of a connection crisis and she can reflect back and summarize my jumbled thoughts into something cohesive which I can take performance on.

As I have all the time helped others, I didn't get a lot of help myself until I signed up for my first coaching program which has been life changing.

• Avoid calling friends who will just keep you in that negative loop. They enjoy hearing your tales of misery and have more tales of misery for you to confirm how much your life sucks. And even more evidence that the world is a cruel place so you may as well just slit your throat and end it now. Ok I'm exaggerating but you know what I'm talking about. These people do not offer solutions - they just like to wallow in doom and gloom.

• If you do not have friends, this will need to be in your long term strategy for happiness and prosperity. You can volunteer at non-profits to help others less fortunate and hire a coach as your wise happy friend.

7. Go to a peaceful place - do this in your mind or in reality

• I'm not good at meditating but this technique works for me. I am lucky to live in a peaceful place so I can just sit in my yard, look at the canyons and do these breathing exercises - I drop my head down to my chest and I breathe in deeply and when exhaling, I am imagining that I am pushing out the negative emotions that are causing the clutching in my chest or that knot in my stomach. I keep doing this until the intense feelings are reduced. Then I replace it with thoughts of good things like how lucky I am to have a home, to have my health, to have good people in my life, to have a sound mind etc. This is an adaptation of Larry Crane's publish technique. I discovered this in my 40s and it for real made a difference. I got rid of a increase by doing this - when I went in for the procedure, the ob-gyn looked at me in shock and said it was gone! There were many other obstacles that just worked themselves out when I concentrated on releasing the negative emotions around those problems. For example: I hate driving and used to drive up to 3-5 hours round-trip at times for business. By releasing on these emotions, straight through an splendid series of events, the studio owner of a local ballroom studio offered me a teaching position at his studio, just 13 minutes from my home (this is close for Los Angeles area).

I do a modified breathing rehearsal with my art students - they for real like it as it immediately disengages their mind from their problems and relaxes them. Some of my students have to battle Los Angeles traffic (always horrendous) to get to my art classes so they arrive rather stressed and rattled. I first start by getting them to take a deep breath - most of them jump up from their chairs at this point and stretch their arms up in the air while they are breathing in. Then when they breathe out, I encourage them to shake, rotate or stretch out their tense muscles, normally in their heads, necks, shoulders, arms, etc. Then we take someone else deep breath and when breathing out, I instruct them to push out the negative thoughts and anxieties that are inside their heads, or the clutching in their chest or stomach. Then on the final deep breath, I thank them for being there with me, I remind them how they are all gorgeous people and how lucky we are to be painting with each other.

• Drive out to the ocean and listen to the surf - that all the time centers me, brings a feeling of calmness and makes me feel strong and suited again. When my connection was falling apart, when my uncle passed away, when I was burned out - just a few hours by the ocean got me going again.

• Go for a walk in nature. Try to get away from cars, technology and people. I find that very healing.

• If you have funds, get a massage. If only the leaders of the world would normally get good massages. Maybe there will be less fighting and more love. I only discovered this when I was in my late 30s - boy did that help me with my stress.

• If you love animals, getting a pet can help you. Just stroking your cat or dog is very calming and peaceful.

8. Create something

• I normally paint - I get out my watercolors and start playing around with the colors. After a while, some inspiration will come and this process of creation all the time makes me feel better.

• Or I cook - it's even better when I can cook and feed someone else. The sounds of someone appreciating my cooking all the time make me smile. Don't do this if you have weight issues - you will just get more depressed.

• When I injured my knee and could not walk upstairs, I started sewing as that performance involved sitting in one place or cutting from the floor. I taught myself how to sew and made ball-gowns to hide my bent leg when I was dancing. Yes, I still went dancing even though I spent most of the time sitting down. It distracted me from my painful knee and now I have 10+ new outfits to wear dancing!

• Start a journal - write down 3 good things that happened to you today. Do this every day. It can be as easy as a friend calling you on the phone. Or the sun advent out. Those are good things. Or write down everything you are feeling every day. It does not have to make sense, just dump it out. Who knows, this may lead to your next career - writing. That's how I started writing. I have lots of tiny unfinished stories scattered around in my computer and in any journals. All produced while times of great stress, anxiety, grief or shock.

• If you have never done Anything creative before but have a normal interest, go with that. If you do not know how to get started, buy a how-to book or signup for a class in wood carving, pottery, art, glass-blowing, cooking, writing, piano, violin, bass, dance etc. That's how I got started in painting - I woke up one day with this strong promulgation to paint with the Chinese brush in 2001. I went on the internet and found a Chinese brush painting class in San Francisco and on that Saturday painted for the first time. Boy did that turn my life forever!

9. Express love and gratitude to your loved ones. If you have a spouse, children, house or friends who love you - reach out to them and tell them how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Give them a hug or a kiss.

• I don't have house but I write emails to my close friends at odd times. It's normally too late to call. I will tell them I'm thinking of them and hope they are doing well. I thank them for their friendship, and tell them how special they are. When you tell people they are special, it means more to them if you spell out what it is they are good at or recognize a exact event which highlights their talents eg: great listeners, patient, creative problem solvers, great sense of humor etc.

• I tell my boyfriend all the time how much I love him, what his specials talents are. I reach out and ask for a hug when I need it. That all the time makes me feel better.

10. Take a trip to somewhere completely opposite to what you are going straight through - if you were burned by people, then go to a third world country like Brazil or Cuba where there are still happy people who care about each other even though they are for real poor. If you are advent out of a completely frazzled situation - go somewhere remote and peaceful without a lot of people - the more unknown the better.

• When I left Oracle for a startup which went bankrupt 6 months later, those 6 months were so intense it left me drained, numb and tired of bad people.

Instead of doing what I would normally do in that situation - update my resume and job search, I flew out to Cancun, met with a dance friend and exploring pyramids, wells, caves and gorgeous beaches. We found a tiny place in Tulum, 2 hours south of Cancun and stayed in a tiny hut on the beach. There was no electricity; the floor of the hut was sand. It cost practically nothing. That was on of the most rejuvenating times for me. We then flew to Miami for the largest Salsa festival in the Us - Calle Ocho and danced our butt off for 1 week with 2 other dance friends. I came back to San Francisco with a tan, lost about 10 pounds, a smile on my face and found a voice-mail from the President of a new startup enchanting me in for an interview. He hired me on the spot as Director of Marketing. How cool was that!

• There was a time when I was for real burned out from dealing with unethical people and people who took advantage of my kind helpful nature. I began to lose my faith in the human race. I found myself in a deep depression, not wanting to eat, not able to sleep, not wanting to interact with anyone. I signed up for a dance program to Cuba and the 2 weeks there was life changing. Cuba was just advent out of their famine and the people there were so poor - food was hard to come by, even if you had money, there was nothing to buy in the stores. But I have never happier people in my life. They were filled with joy, laughter and love. Their plentifulness spilled out to all of us -foreigners - all broken in our many ways. What was clear to me then was because there was no money or material things to buy, their time was not spent in race of money. Their time was spent with each other, laughing, singing, dancing, talking, hugging, playing music or doing other things together. There are no lonely people in Cuba. When I was with our group of local Cuban dancers, if I wandered off on my own, they would all the time call out, "Come walk with us, don't walk alone". Their children are their national treasure - children can roam in any place and they are held, loved, taken care of and fed by their neighbors and total strangers. someone will all the time bring the kids home to their parents at the end of the day. How splendid is that?

• Other places I've been to which are great for recovering your spirits - Koh Chang in Thailand, Pulau Langkawi or Pulau Tioman in Malaysia, Morro de Sao Paolo in Brazil. These places are all inexpensive, remote and peaceful. I had an ocean-front beach hut for /night in Thailand and daily massages for /hr. I stay away from the hectic high-priced resorts. I only went to hectic high-priced resorts when it was funded by my work. When I'm funding it, then it could also be high-priced resorts but peaceful ones - like the Kea Lani in Maui and the Grand Wailea in Maui (only for the staggering spa - the rest of the resort is too chaotic).

Not all of these are long term strategies for enduring happiness but they will help get you out of your state of shock, despair, numbness, depression, paralysis, anxiety or frustration etc. The publish of the negative emotions that are tying you up in knots will allow your objectivity and creativity to kick in. Often, the obstacle/adversity is not going to be as insurmountable as it first appears and the clarification will present itself once your head is clear. Just by the easy fact of taking some action, you be changing your results... You are no longer beating up on yourself or repeated asking your mind for a clarification when it clearly does not have adequate data to make a decision.

Daytrip south

If you're finding for an fly from the hectic tourism scene, head to the south side of Samui where groves of coconut trees and quiet Muslim fishing towns have staved off the amelioration that has come upon the rest of the island.

Hawaii Rentals - Vacationing in Style

Vacation in paradise is a dream of many people, and there is no good paradise than Hawaii. Make this dream come true for you by utilizing Hawaii rentals, an affordable alternative to a hotel. You can find facts on rentals in Hawaii via the internet, or experience your voyage agent. Your voyage agent will have details and experience facts for accommodations throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

Hawaii rentals contain properties which are available by the day, week, or month. They range from units fit for the tightest of budgets to fancy villas and condos with cooks and housekeepers. If you are taking a Hawaiian vacation with relatives or acquaintances, you may find that you all get along good in a homey setting than in the less personal confines of a motel, hotel, or resort. You can all select to have your meals at your own satisfaction rather than having to keep to the right program of a hotel dining room.

It is definite that rented accommodation does have disadvantages. There is no maid assistance and thus you will have to convert the bed linens and clean the room yourself. In addition, you cannot expect room assistance and shuttles. On the upside, however, you do not need to worry about strangers in your room during your absence and there is no overpriced mini bar. In fact, you will probably only spend minimal time housekeeping and Hawaii offers the same possibility for take outs and food delivery that you are used to at home. Social transport, taxis and rental cars are available to take you where you want to go.

If you are vacationing in a group with relatives and acquaintances, you have the option of sharing a large rental home, which will mean a considerable savings compared to the cost of many hotel rooms. And this can mean increased enjoyment as well if you undoubtedly enjoy their companionship. Other savings in both time and money is the dividing up of both the household chores and the car rental fee for a singular over-sized vehicle. It is also far more pleasant to be able to have your breakfast at your own convenience and not to have to dress up and go out for it.

For a honeymoon couple, Hawaii rentals can be an experience that you can not get at a big hotel. You can have privacy, and romantic alone time. This may be much more enchanting to some vacationers. You still can dine out at a nice romantic restaurant and some rentals even offer some other perks. You can ask your voyage agent about the things that are leading to you.

For the best deals, it's generally a good idea to use a voyage agent. Your agent will know about super cheap deals on rental properties due to cancellations as well as help you find the best prices for cruises and other activities you'd like to contain in your vacation. If you use a voyage agent, it's still okay for you to do a diminutive searching of your own on the side if you like. Your agent will be able to help you rent a home-like beach bungalow or a luxury condo or villa. Doesn't that sound more special than staying in a hotel room?

Renting a Car in Panama

I like to pay for things--especially costly things--with cash, as it sends a message to the cashier that I am wealthy. Maybe even that I am a prince. When I am buying large ticket items, such as pianos or vintage grandfather clocks or whatever, if there is any occasion to go to the Atm before hand, I do. I like the feeling of bills in my pocket: it makes me feel strong.

I was establishment for a road trip to Santa Catalina (a tiny dash in the Azuero Peninsula that nearly straddles the equator) and was in need of transportation, being that the tired wheels on my rollerblades had recently come loose. This preparation, as I often like to do, took place over a meal that I had ready for myself. A smorgasbord of my popular foods: Triscuts (woven snacks you can eat), lobster hotdogs, and of policy pizza because a weekend without pizza is lame. After the feast, I wandered into the neighborhood of El Cangrejo where any Panama car rental agencies do their thing.

Within just a one-block radius, I could see three major agencies and, being a sucker for catchy advertising, I walked into the one with the nicest sign: Thrifty. There was a line of citizen about six deep, so I stood my place and just chewed on a few mysteries that had been bugging me of late, mainly, what would happen if I shot a gun in outer space. I was also kept busy with a bag of pork rinds which I had just purchased nearby the corner. They were fresh and almost supernaturally crisp.

I ultimately got up to the counter and was greeted semi-unkindly by a thin Indian man, who if he wasn't wearing a tie, I would have described as a thin Indian woman. He had a pin on his jacket that said "Hi, My Name is..." then a label reading "Bahn Xio".

I pointed to the pin, "Is your name pronounced like the instrument?"
"Actually yes." He seemed pretty impressed with my phonetics. "What can I do for you today?"
"Well Ban-jo," I said, putting an extra-proud stress on his name. "I need an Suv."

He tapped nearby his keyboard a bit manufacture small faces and frowns and puny grunts--the way you might humor person when they ask you for something you know you don't have. ("Sorry man, I don't have any spare change").

"We are fresh out. No Suvs in this office!"

I cringed like a skunk in a headlock. This was the worst news I could have anticipated. I requested that he check again. And again. Ban-jo offered me something smaller, something puny. An economy vehicle. The fact that he would offer me the downgrade was not what bothered me though. It was the way in which he said it, with this annoying puny squirrel voice and this all-too-pleasant look on his face. It was at this point that I was reminded of a quote I belief up a few days back: He who smiles in the face of adversity, probably farted.

I could have taken that as an reply but I decided to be difficult. "What do you mean you don't have any Suvs? What kind of car rental agency is this? Let me guess, you don't have any vans either? Or electric hybrids?" I don't know why I said the hybrid's part, as it sounded kind of sci-fi, even nerdy.

"I'm sorry. Would you like to take the economy car or shall I help the next customer?"

Economy just sounded so inadequate and there was no way that puny thing would ever get me Santa Catalina. I had been planning this trip for hours! Here I am chasing down a dream, but I can't catch it because I've got a sprained ankle.

"Would you like my opinion?" asked Ban-jo.
I snapped back, "No thank you Ban-jo. I wouldn't trust you any supplementary than I could throw you." I pulled out my wallet and paid for the economy car in full. With cash. All 9 of it.

Rates at these sort of places can vary from /day for the small cars, like the one I got, to upwards of /day for the largest gas-guzzling monsters you can imagine. There are lots of Panama car rental agencies that you would know like Hertz, Avis, National, and thrifty at Tocumen Airport as well as peppered nearby Panama City in safe bet neighborhoods (El Cangrejo being a major one). Depending on the time of year, getting the car you want can be tricky, so if you have time before your trip, just jump online and maintain yourself a vehicle. Also, this way you will not have to fight with anyone. If you are flying in from an additional one location in Central America into Albrook (domestic airport), there is a National Car Rental over te road from the terminal.

Getting from the airport into Panama City is relatively easy. Getting from the airport to somewhere else like Chiriqui or Cocle can be a bit trickier so be sure to get good directions. I would advise you purchase guarnatee but it is not required. The roads you will be using will most likely be very good especially compared to our northern neighbor; the ones who claim to have this tourism thing down pat, yet still can't fix a pothole. Ban-jo did not laid out his fellow Panama car rental colleagues well: almost all of them always have a range of cars to choose from and usually the salespeople aren't smartasses.

Do not wear bags over the shoulder and have them dangling about behind your back. If you do this you are request for trouble.

This is roughly unmistakably an attempt to distract you whilst someone else "lifts" your purse, wallet or bag.

Never do anyone that draws concentration to you, your partner, house or group. All the time try to stay under the radar.

In my dream, I'm gradually floating. There's a soft splashing noise, and then the sound of a small wave breaking on the beach. I open my eyes and sense a split second of pleasant confusion. Ah, yes.. Now I remember: I'm on a sailing yacht. It's early, 6 am. The sun has not come up yet, but the sky is starting to lighten. It's so peaceful. My friends are still sleeping, and there's no one to be seen anywhere. Oh, there's other boat anchored just nearby the projection of the bay. I remember looking them last night as they cruised in. I take a long deep breath of clean air and reflect on how lucky I am. We're anchored in a bay a thousand miles from anywhere. Well, not quite but it sure seems that way.

A itsybitsy while later, having ultimately woken up, cup of tea in hand, I reflect on the previous day. As we approached the Ocean Marina Yacht Club Pattaya an early morning sun bounced off the sails while a breeze picked up. My friends and I had booked an overnight sailing trip, an adventure we were all completely looking forward to.

We me up with our skipper for the trip, since none of us are proficient adequate yet to have the certifications to be able to sail bareboat (without a skipper). He immediately got us and our gear onto the boat, and anticipation was running high. security briefing completed, machine on, and we were heading out of the Marina Pattaya and it wasn't even 09.30 yet

On the sail out, we learned from the skipper why Pattaya (and the Gulf of Thailand as a whold) is a great cruising and sailing venue. Out came the sailing charts dotted with innumerable islands. Head south and you come to Koh Klet Kaeo (more generally known as Monkey island for it's inhabitants a monkey people that comes out to greet you when you anchor close by). A itsybitsy further south and you arrive at Koh Kram with its vast beach of golden sand.

Travel north from Ocean Marina Pattaya and you'll see Jomtien and Pattaya Bay in a whole new light. Continue on to the Royal Varuna Yacht Club Pattaya with a fe Hobie Cats "flying" through the water, past Koh Chun and up to Koh Si Chang Pattaya.

But today the prevailing winds meant we were heading east, out past the big white rock (home to an un-inhabited lighthouse) of Koh Rang Kwaian. We had a lunch date at Koh Rin. But as we slid into the bay and the anchore dropped, all thoughts of hunger disappeared, supplanted by an splendid desire to jump into the clearest, bluest water I had ever seen.

"Is this authentically Pattaya?" I understanding as I dove in with my snorkel gear.

We were on a weekend overnight trip, on a boat that can sleep six in a pinch, the four of us an our skipper in relative comfort. But, not all trips need to be overnight. The islands are close adequate to make Pattaya-Jomtien a fun and favorable base for day sailing. A stone's throw from central Pattaya with the local islands one to two hours' sail away, one can spend the day exploring, swimming and snorkeling at these remote, idyllic locations, and be back at the marina for a hot shower, great food and a comfortable bed in the evening.

But we had gone a step further and opted for the excitement of an overnight trip, and it was over lunch that we reflected on how safe and protected the coastal waters of Pattaya and the Gulf of Thailand authentically are. Very few sailing hazards to worry about with calm waters (the swells are rarely large adequate to cause any concern) to a depth of only five to six meters. The anchorages are good, and in any place you go you have movable phone and Vhf radio coverage what more could you need?

A rum and coke, was the rejoinder to that inquire and that is exactly what I was enjoying. By now we had sailed on from our lunch spot at Koh Rin onto Koh Phai a large island east of Koh Lan, and were again at anchor. We were in four meters of water with the sandy bottom clearly visible, whilst 50 meters away was the most golden of beaches. The sun was setting, and whilst the rum and coke was sliding down at a pace, thoughts were turning to evening meal on board, with a peaceful evening ahead under the stars.

Morocco & Ramadan - Tips for Traveling This Year

Ramadan is advent up at the end of August this year. Just what is it and what does it have to do with Morocco? First, Ramadan is an leading religious celebration for the Islamic faithful. It all began when the Prophet Mohammed received verses from the Angel Gabriel. This is leading because those verses became the Qur'an. All this took place in the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. It is twelve days shorter than the calendar used in western countries, production the celebration begin earlier each year. This year it begins in September. Ramadan is notable the world over by Muslims.

So, what does this have to do with Morocco? Morocco is an Islamic country, thereby officially observing Ramadan. All Muslim adults are required to refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual operation from sunrise to sunset. What does all that mean to you, the tourist? Some activities may be somewhat curtailed. But, given proper adherence, tourists are not condemned for eating, drinking or other underground matters as long as it's not done in an overt manner--eating in restaurants is Ok for example.

Ramadan is a literally good time to visit Morocco. September is by far one of the most excellent months to come. Some hotels reduce their rates, and generally, things are less crowded with the snafu of tourists going back to work in their respected countries. Most restaurants are open, although some do close for the entire month. You may find some restaurants closed while the day and occasion in time for the evening meal. Food and drink are available while the daylight hours, along with both alcoholic drinks and others. Most items are still available in traveler shops.

Souks and shops catering to the local population will not have some things available. Banks and other offices change their hours, and open later, ordinarily around 10 a.m. Shops and sights of interest are open, however. Some of these places will close in time for their employees to get home for the evening meal. Out of respect to the Moroccan population and their religion, one should not eat or drink in the streets while out walking or finding the sights. In shops and restaurants, it is suggested one should try not to smoke. Social communication will still be available, although the agenda is somewhat reduced. Your Moroccan tour operator will be happy to furnish you with all the information you need for your stay while Ramadan. If you want to take a tour of Berber villages or treks in the mountains, you may find the guides less than enthusiastic while this time.

You may find adjusting to the rhythm of the local population a good way to palpate Moroccan culture. Evening meal is commonly eaten quite late, say around 11 p. M. At sunset, however, Ramadan fasting is broken with a breakfast. Most Moroccans will get up very early to have their morning meal before the morning call to prayers, signaling the beginning of the day's fast. Most local population will stay up most of the night and sleep until late in the morning. Evenings seem to be festive as the locals will investment out after dark to buy for the next day. Bakeries and shops will have some special items just for the Ramadan feasts. If you find yourself not able to adjust to the eating at night, load up on snacks and foods to keep in your hotel room. In this manner, you can still take part in the overwhelming Moroccan cuisine, while respecting the local customs.

King Mohammed Vi celebrates Ramadan as does the rest of the royal family. His Majesty and his brother, Prince Moulay Rachid, keep a Ramadan tradition started by their father of hosting lectures on separate aspects of Islam. Invited guests are not always Moslems. Her Highness, Princess Lalla Meryem, sends copies of the Qur'an to Ngo's around the world. Plus, she provides preachers and Qur'an readers with religious lectures to share with those Moslems living in other countries.

Ramadan may seem daunting to those who are not well-known with the Moslem religion. However, that shouldn't stop you. If your dream vacation is to go to Morocco and September suits you, it is a fine time to come. Your Moroccan tour Operator will agenda what ever activities you wish to take part in, get you tickets and furnish transportation. while this time of the year, it's best to leave all things to the professionals.

My Limmoncello taste at Cello's Ristorante

Recently opened in Cathedral City sits an award - winning cafeteria where the owners make some of the best limoncello I have ever tasted. If you are not already familiar with limoncello it is an Italian lemon liquor that is produced in Southern Italy off the Amlafi coast.

What began as a small catering company is now one of the busiest restaurants in the California desert. The owner's come from Connecticut and recently made the desert their home. Tommy "Cello" as he is oftentimes referred to is the magician who makes astounding lemon liquor, which is traditionally served as an after supper drink or digestive as the culinary experts like to enumerate it.

The cafeteria itself is located in an out - of - the way shopping town that has seen good days. But don't let that dissuade you, this piquant American cafeteria that was selected as one of the ten best restaurants by Palm Springs Life Magazine. located on Date Palm Drive and Gerald Ford Drive, Cello's invited me in with their warm, cozy and relaxing vibe that made me feel right at home. The soft lighting brings an elegance and sophistication that lacks the stuffiness that some would think. And with live Jazz providing a soothing ambience sound to the atmosphere, was just the right touch to move the night.

On the night that I was there with my wife, we were given the option to eat inside or covering on the patio, and with the cool zephyr on a summer night, the patio worked just fine. After a brief conversation that included sharing a few laughs with the owners, we started off the evening with some wine and an Onion Soup Fondue that comes equipped with a deep-dark, richly flavored broth along with caramelized onions and three croutons to give it that right appeal.

When my main course arrived I can see why this place was the winner of the 2011 cafeteria of the Year award. My wife ordered the 'Pasta of the Day" and I the "Catch of the Day" which was a mussels and prawns dish that was prepared to perfection. My wife's Eggplant Cannelloni left microscopic to be desired, stuffed with spinach and ricotta and served with a marinara sauce. Our friends ordered what is purported to be Cello's signature entrée, the Chicken Caprese. It is a flavorful option that is groomed with yellow and red cherry tomatoes along with mini fresh mozzarella balls.

For desert we shared strawberries stuffed with marscarpone and dipped in rich chocolate and a tiramisu that gives cake an added size with the pudding filling.

Of course, we all concluded with the limoncello, which is a microscopic bit of Italy in glass.

Hua Hin, is about 3 hours drive from Bangkok and is has only started to come to be beloved over the last few years, the main beach is one of the cleanest I have seen in Thailand and ordinarily only has a handful of Citizen on it due to hotels being built right next to it, it makes the passage for other Citizen harder.
