Great Advice For Gently Easing Travel Worries
 
Rather than exchanging cash for local currency while traveling in different countries, withdraw some pocket money from an ATM. Banks often have better rates for exchanging money than you will find on your own. You will save money and have more to spend on other things, as a result.
 
Try to go to the gym prior to getting on a flight. Being on a long flight can be incredibly boring. Your body can become uncomfortable and cramped. The probability of getting cramps is greatly reduced if you workout or stretch before the flight.
 
Keep a photo of your children on you at all times, in case they become lost. It can be terrifying to lose your son or daughter. It can, however, still happen. Having a photo on you to share with authorities could mean the difference in whether or not your child is found quickly.
 
When going to foreign countries, be smart about food allergies. If your food allergy is particularly bad, make sure to express this in their language. You can tell any wait staff or food handlers that you must avoid these certain foods or, even in a worst case scenario, you need to be able to tell medical professionals what is wrong, by doing this.
 
It is important to keep a photograph of your child on you, in case they wander away. A lost child is one of the most frightening things a parent can face. Unfortunately, it can happen. Easy access to a photograph of the child can facilitate any necessary search efforts in they get lost.
By traveling, educate your family. There is nothing to fear from the developing world, by taking time and preparing. It is a great way to show other cultures to children. You can gain understanding and tolerance for different cultures while abroad.
 
Don't forget to pack clothespins on your next trip! Clothespins can be useful when you are traveling.
If you plan on leaving your car in the airport while you travel, make sure you pre-book parking at the airport ahead of time. The cost of parking is higher if you don't pre-book. Find out if taking a cab is cheaper than airport parking if you live near the airport.
 
Rental firms typically require customers to be at least 18 years old, and some even have a lower age limit of 25. Additionally, many car rentals charge a higher rate if you're under 25, and most require a credit card to be on file. Senior citizens aren't allowed to rent cars in some cities. If they have any age restrictions, when you make your reservations, make sure you ask.
 
Always be kind, and tip your bell waiter and housekeeper daily. This will make your stay much more pleasant. Generally, you will give one dollar per piece of luggage, and anywhere between five and two dollars a day for housekeeping. If you can tip these people appropriately, you will find that you will have a better relationship with the hotel staff during your stay.
 
It is important that you read over the rental agreement before starting your trip if you plan on renting a car. It may be that you do not even need it, although car rental agents will surely attempt to sell you some insurance. Car insurance policies typically incorporate some coverage in terms of third-party liability. Be sure to double-check your policy prior to leaving for your trip.
 
If you plan on renting a car, check your auto insurance policy. They don't care if you actually need it or not, even though rental car agents will sell and try you additional insurance. In many cases, you car insurance coverage gives you basic coverage to handle third party incidents. Before leaving home to save money later on, look at your policy.
 
You can fulfill that lifelong dream of salmon fishing in Alaska or hiking down inside a Hawaiian volcano. Travel puts you in control of your destiny, and it gives you something to look forward to. It can help you see that the future will be great and you can plan for when things are slow. The memories you make when traveling can last for the rest of your life. Hesitate no longer! Begin your travels today!

New Surf Circuit in Tamarindo


For the last few years, the Circuito Nacional de Surf de Costa Rica (CNS), has been the only countrywide surf tournament and feeder event for surf teams that compete internationally. The CNS all but bypasses the beaches of Guanacaste, with only Nosara on its schedule.
 
This year, former national surf champion Andrea Díaz of Tamarindo decided that the waves and surfers of Guanacaste should have more than a one-shot contest. Díaz partnered with Chelsea Liaius, founder of the Tide Academy School in Tamarindo, to put together a seven-contest Circuito Guanacaste on Costa Rica's northwestern beaches.
 
Despite the CNS claim that it skips Tamarindo due to a lack of sponsor interest, Díaz and Liaius were able to garner support from international surf gear company Creatures and board manufacturer Surftech, as well as local businesses including Reserva Conchal, Las Mareas de El Tesoro, Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas, Lola's Restaurant, Witch's Rock Surf Camp, Kelly's Surf Shop, Condominios Del Sol at Marbella and Tiki Hut in Marbella.
 
The opener went down in Tamarindo this past weekend, and upcoming tournaments will take place in Playa Avellanas (Jan. 18-19), Playa Marbella (Feb. 8-9), and locations to be determined March 8-9, April 12-13 and May 10-11.
 
“As a coach, I wanted my local surfers to get more practice before going to a national event,” Díaz said. “And always I'm thinking about my responsibility with the town I live in. Because of that I wanted to use surfing as an instrument for kids to stay in school, stay healthy and out of the streets.”
 
The first tournament in Tamarindo this past weekend drew about 150 competitors, including a handful of veterans like former national surf champion Isaac Vega, who won. The even also turned out to be a showcase for the younger talent of the area.
 
The kids ripped in shoulder- to head-high waves on Saturday, and they even found ways to impress the judges on Sunday, when the waves dropped waist high. Standouts included Aldo Chironos, Dean Vandewell, Malakai Martinez, Serena Nava, Zulay Martinez and Katie Herrman – all under the age of 13. Many of these kids competed in more than one category, a grueling task even for adults.
 
Martinez was in and out of the water for a fight in juniors, boys and mixed groms. The son of two surfing parents, he is one of the fortunate Tamarindo kids who has been able to make the trek to the CNS, winning the Groms championship for two years in a row. Although Martinez says the CNS brings out a higher level of talent, including some pros, he found the debut of the Guanacasteco Circuito to be professional and accommodating to a new crop of talent in the province.
 
“Today there are some good guys out there, and I try to do my best,” Malakai said between heats. “I'm stoked to be surfing here because it brings attention to Guanacaste and we can get more sponsors. There are a lot of kids who can't afford to travel to the [CNS], and it costs, my mom says, about $500 a weekend to travel.”
The Guanacaste Circuito allows kids to get noticed, which could lead to sponsorships, which then allows kids to advance to the next kind of competition, he added.
 
Not only did Malakai make it to the makeshift beach podium to collect a 1st place medal for mixed groms, he was took 3rd in juniors and in boys.
 
Katie Herrman, 9, has already been surfing for two years. She competed in four categories: dolphins – where her father Jeff pushed her into waves (2nd place), paddle-ins mixed groms, mini chicas (2nd place), and junior chicas (4th place).

“I feel like I've been doing pretty good,” she said. “I used to be going down the line, but my turning is better now; I do turns and go off the top ... Yeah, I'm going to be the next champion from Tamarindo.”
 
Surfing legend Robert August, who starred in the surf film “Endless Summer” and its sequel, “Endless Summer 2,” was on the beach rooting for his daughter Christine. August convinced her to do the Guanacasteco Circuito and gave one important piece of advice: “Go out and have fun.” Having made her competitive debut at the Billabong Festival de Surf 2013 a week ago in Jacó for the 25th anniversary of Mango Surf Shop, Christine did enjoy herself in the junior chicas and mini chicas divisions this past weekend.
 
“It's great,” August said. “All the kids understand that they just need to go out and do the best they can ... It's a good way for people to get together and say hello.”
 
To experience this amazing tournament and circuit you can stay in these Tamarindo Costa Rica Hotels.
Adding credibility to the festivities – and hired for the rest of the Guanacaste Circuito – was Gustavo Corrales, head judge of the CNS. He is an International Surfing Association certified judge who works in his off time from the Circuito Nacional to certify instructors and judges. The Guanacaste circuit is important, Corrales says, it helps the ISA with a school scholarship program, and is working with the Federacion de Surf de Costa Rica to initiate a program that will fund five underprivileged kids to travel to the CNS contests around Costa Rica.
“The Guanacaste Circuito has been great,” Corrales said. “We have the potential for a main circuit in Costa Rica right here ... It's great for the sport and the province. It will raise up the area.”
