Tragedy gives way to Travel savings

Zoritza Petrova — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 07:51:23 +0000

When the earthquake hit San Francisco during the World Series in 1989, we were riding Universal Studios relatively new display… “Earthquake”. Irony at its best. We continue to enjoy our vacation despite the tragedy that had befallen San Francisco. There were no lines in which to wait for a trolley. No lines at the wax museums. Restaurants were under crowded for a change. All in all, it was almost as if we received preferential treatment. Not to mention the fact that we were there while history had been made.
Of course I brought home the obligatory tee shirts; Shake, rattle and roll… San Francisco earthquake 1989… 7.1 and something about having survived the quake while visiting Alcatraz. As harsh as it may sound, areas of devastation are not only inexpensive places to visit and cut way back on the waiting lines… It’s also a place that if you choose, you can pitch in and throw a little charity their way by volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and other post-crisis volunteer services. Give a little – get a little.
Writing off New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina, New York City Post 9/11 and Bali post terrorist attacks
Throughout time endless numbers of people have gone to the aid of their fellow mankind. After the terrorist attack in New York, after Katrina devastated New Orleans and more; people traveled to those destinations to help other people. Granted, it wasn’t all fun and games. But it was fulfilling and still possible to enjoying the areas lesser affected by the tragedy. The best news yet… it was a tax write off! Any out-of-pocket expenses that you incur that are directly a result of your volunteering post disaster are tax deductible.
Of course you cannot have been reimbursed by anyone else, and they cannot be considered deductible if they can be deemed personal expenses. That’s pretty broad, though. Let’s say for instance you want to deduct your transportation costs. Car maintenance, gas, train, airlines, parking fees, buses and tolls are covered. Your meals and lodging are absolutely considered to be deductible. Since you’re using this for a vacation, be careful not to include costs that are obviously related to vacation expenses. It goes without saying, that those are not deductible. It also goes without saying that those accommodations you write off cannot be a five star hotel and restaurants. Use your head and try not to go overboard.

Accidental post tragedy vacations

A certain English couple who shall remain nameless seem like your normal everyday couple. One works in a dental lab and the other as a sales manager; they enjoy luxurious, well-planned vacations. As fate would have it however, on three separate occasions (vacations), theirs were not the only plans in the making. Three well-planned terrorist attacks would take place in three different vacation locations, all involving this couple. In 2001, the couple was vacationing in New York City during the 911 attacks. The news quickly spread that over 3000 people were feared dead after the hijacked planes crashed the World Trade Center.
They were touring London in a double-decker bus as the underground bombings shook London to its core. Suicide bombers had attacked and bombed buses and ‘tube trains’ killing 52 commuters. And just when you thought it was safe to vacation in Mumbai, the Indian Metropolitan city was inundated by terrorist attacks. They remain inspired by the amazingly quick recovery of the Indian City. In all three cases, the couple remained unharmed. Talk about your preferential treatment. They are able to maintain their sense of humor about the whole thing however. They see it as a strange coincidence. It might even make a good book. Maybe someone will write an article about them!

Fly away honeymoon

The newlyweds in route to their honeymoon in Saint Lucia wondered why their plane was nearly empty; and why their flight to Saint Lucia had been canceled. They were arriving in Puerto Rico when upon landing received the news… A category four Hurricane Georges was making its way through the area with Puerto Rico in its sights. It would be upon them by sundown. Despite their pleas to the airline to “get us out of here”… they were stranded. They ended up holdup in the ballroom of a hotel with glass shattering and steel shutters banging all around them. The storm eventually subsided and they continued on to Saint Lucia where they spent the rest of their honeymoon. Upon the flight home, they ran into a husband and wife who had flown out on the exact same day. “Did you get nailed by the hurricane too?” they asked the couple.
“No,” the woman replied. “Our airline put us through to Miami because there was a storm on the way.”
What’s that I smell…? Is it a complete reimbursement for the honeymoon? Free tickets to and from anywhere…. for life! Imagine the savings!

Three of the Best Stag Destinations in the World

Zoritza Petrova — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:27:50 +0000

Last night of freedom or the perfect excuse for a dream lad’s weekend away, however you view it, you will want to make the most of your stag weekend. Whether you’re planning one for pals or picking out your ideal destination ahead of your own wedding, here are three destinations where all your dreams can come true…

Las Vegas
It’s almost as if this city was built to host stag parties – or bachelor parties as they may be known over there. It is not without good reason that this desert oasis is known as Sin City; glamourous casinos, even more glamourous girls, incredible sights on every corner and the chance to get waited on like nowhere else in the world. Whether you want to try and win your fortune at the poker tables, catch a boxing match at the MGM Grand, dine out at luxurious restaurants, party the night away at decadent nightclubs or simply soak in the mesmeric surroundings, you can do all of it and more in the city where time stands still. For more relaxing pursuits, world class golf courses are within easy reach or sightseeing tours can take you deep into the Nevada desert. Adrenalin junkies are well catered for too, try kayaking through the Grand Canyon or skydiving over the desert.

Amsterdam
Amsterdam’s unique charms have been well documented, but even if you’re not jetting off in search of the ‘special’ cafes, then you’ll still enjoy soaking up the chilled out vibe and laid back lifestyle that pervades the city. The infamous red light district is another magnet for stag parties and decadent entertainment will not be hard to find, but the area is as much a tourist attraction for curious passers-by as it is a den of iniquity. Still, however you want to enjoy your final fling, it’s fair to say it can be accommodated in Amsterdam. Girls and ganja aside, Amsterdam has plenty more to offer; picturesque 17th century streets, calming canals, a vibrant arts and cultural scene and buzzing nightlife.

Munich
Germany is not short of thrilling destinations and Munich leads the way, with the free-flowing beer making it perfect for a boozy break. The picturesque Bavarian streets lend a flavour of culture to your trip, but it is the cavernous beer halls, drinking songs and busty, blonde barmaids which prove the biggest attraction for most stags. If you’re lucky enough to make it over during Oktoberfest then your weekend will virtually take care of itself, but at any time of year there is plenty more besides the beer to keep you entertained, from world class football at the home of Bayern Munich to eclectic nightclubs, hearty food to line your stomach and Bavarian saunas and steam rooms to help you sweat out that hangover to send you back to your bride-to-be feeling reinvigorated. You didn’t forget about your bride-to-be, did you?

Charleston in USA

Zoritza Petrova — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 08:41:28 +0000

Charleston, the pearl of the South America is as old as it is in fact a new city. Hordes of tourists coming here for year history and beautiful planter residences rarely realized that what they see, in fact, largely a product of the last twenty years. The legendary wealth before the American civil war rages on streets, Charleston has always been known as a very beautiful city. Founded in 1670, only a few miles into the territory of the State of South Carolina, he was one of the oldest cities in North America. A little later, after another outbreak settlers moved the settlement to the present place – the peninsula where the rivers and Cooper Alshi flow into the Atlantic Ocean. As a first stop in North America on ships from the Caribbean, Charleston quickly became a prosperous city. West African slaves arrived on plantations in the interior of South Carolina, while traveling from there to Europe, rice, indigo and later cotton. The prosperity is so large that its order citizens pavement for the streets of England. Naturally, because so much wealth the city was regularly attacked and elegant park today Batereya in fact was the main protective fortifications on the peninsula. In the 17th and 18th century settled large group of French Huguenots and Jews persecuted in Europe because the city actively recruit them with the proposed religious freedom. Remained of the first French Quarter with its pastel painted houses. This is a person of Charleston – tolerance, cosmopolitan outlook, open, the other is slavery with all its metaphysical and rational attempts to explain.
Until recently, the glory of the city, however slight fading and bright colors of the old historic houses. Ironically, restoring shine and today’s rise is the result of a natural disaster – Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Nearly a century of people here looking for ways out of economic crisis after the Civil War to end the slow death, but only Hugo, destroyed nearly a quarter of the city opens wide federal funds. The citizens, led by their legendary Mayor Joseph Riley, suddenly not only have huge financial resources available. They have a vision for the future of their city. Today it is rare to see a desolate, crumbling house in the old part of city guides even purposely keep the few remaining tourists in order to explain the characteristics of their former building. The restoration creates thousands of new jobs, helps to overcome some of the racial and ethnic problems, attracts hordes of tourists and new citizens. But what makes Charleston unusual is strict organization and concept development – even in peak season will not happen to experience unpleasant emotions in traffic, for example. Endless number of carriages to walk after invisible but tightly controlled choreography routes. The center is closed for coaches, guides pass a special training course. Street trading is limited to the market, nothing here that work most acrimonious retailers worldwide, compared with those in town are a modest high school.
To maintain the delicate balance between tourism and real life, as after 5 pm are not permitted organized tours residential areas. Construction of hotels and restaurants in old embankment is prohibited, and no new building can not rise above the horizon dominated by churches. Charleston wins better than tourism, but most seek to preserve their identity of a living city, a municipality continuously recruit other businesses. After successful reform and erstwhile neglected port investment is now second in the East Coast after New York-treated containers. The city is trying to regain the glory of the cultural capital of the South with a whole series of initiatives, the most famous of which is the May Festival Spoleto. Rise of the last twenty years, however, has its negatives. Foreigners, buying houses in the old part of town (known as “drive-by-neighbours” or something like “neighbors for a little” in Bulgarian) are cause for much gossip and resentment among local people. At least once you will hear complaints about how they bid for the homes to show off with a lavish party to the other parvenus, but after a week I leave for a year and do not appear. As a result, parts of the battery is no longer as vibrant communities, with people sitting in the ornate balcony at sunset, like a museum. In 2004 – 2006. even the old rooms of the slaves were sold for a million and classic residences have reached the $ 4 to 7 million, said our guide Josh, by profession a real estate broker, because of the recession forced to hold a second job. Surprisingly, however, you can hear some original inhabitants of the other party to say thank God that the housing craze stopped. In Charleston almost every story was turned into a business, the business does help a little bit to overcome the trauma of history. Located in the port of Charleston Fort Samtar where shoot first bursts of the Civil War, is now a national memorial. Rangers tell visitors from North and South, white and black Americans as a fierce defense of the city by the army of the North, and the first all African American 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment and his epic battle for nearby Fort Wagner. Knitting baskets on the market women, unless they sell expensive most popular local souvenirs, remind and unusual blend of the cultures of West Africa and the New World. At night when the modern city noise subsides, if history really comes alive – old dark alleys, distant echo of the ocean, muted talk of the terraces make you hear and see strange things. Charleston has its dark side, and terrible stories of crime, untimely death and grief tell more than any academic work for the real lives of people in past eras
The local urban legends collected by acrimony around teen amateurs and professional historians, naturally have turned into well-organized tours for tourists. These are the stories of slaves, without the right to bury the dead according to their rituals and believe that the city is full of tortured souls. For extraordinary beauty Lavinia Fisher, the first serial killers in America, hanged in 1820. Convicted and sentenced, together with her husband robbed and killed an unknown number of people staying at their hotel, she asked to be executed in her wedding dress last hope her beauty to break crowd. Today the most famous ghost of Charleston around in a white dress at night the streets in search of revenge. For the former city jail, where he still hovering spirits of executed pirates and raised on a slave rebellion. For old girl Zoe, unhappy that her old home was turned into a restaurant, frightening regular guests and staff.
