<description><![CDATA["Modern" St. Augustine traces its roots back to Henry Flagler, an early railroad pioneer who in the 1880's developed the city into a destination for wealthy leisure travelers. One of his developments, the former Hotel Alcazar, is now home to the Lightner Museum. Built in 1887 in the Spanish Renaissance style, architects Carrere and Hastings were commissioned by Flagler to design the Alcazar and the Ponce de Leon Hotel (across the street). The two young architects later designed the New York Public Library and the U.S. Senate office building. An architectural treasure worth visiting for its historical significance, the Lightner houses an impressive collection of Gilded Era treasures.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some of the immediate results prior to conviction or being convicted with a DUI offense may make it difficult to maintain employment. In many states, a drivers license may be suspended or revoked upon conviction of alcohol related impaired driving. Prior to conviction, a license may be suspended or taken if a driver either fails or refuses to allow a chemical test to be administered. In forty-five states a conviction of DUI may result in the offender being able to drive their vehicles only after being equipped with an ignition interlock device. There are 30 states where vehicles must be forfeit if there are multiple offenses for driving while impaired by alcohol. Anyone who depends upon their vehicle for their livelihood may have their financial situation dramatically impacted by DUI offenses. For future employment, you may simply be passed over if you have a conviction for DUI on your record. If you have filled out anything on your application in the conviction section, your application may simply be discarded without further explanation by prospective employers and you will never be given the opportunity to explain yourself.]]></description>

Samples of which are harassment (you got caught stalking), 3rd degree assault (you hit your neighbor while daydreaming), telephone obstruction (you kept on calling your ex because you can), assault and battery (you attacked your neighbor and bit his ear), possession of drugs (or even just drug paraphernalia), false imprisonment (you told your boss that he cannot leave his office because wife and mistress are outside looking for him when actually they're not), theft (you banged on the vending machine and took the soda that popped out without paying), and destruction of property (you banged on the vending machine, period). What will happen if you get charged with a misdemeanor? You'll most likely be slapped with probation, probably made to pay fines, and or complete classes or treatments, and sometimes serve jail time.]]></description>

Even before he reaches you, make sure your seatbelt is on. Do so, unless you don't mind paying for another fine. By the way, if you get charged for DUI or DWI for the first time, prepare $1500 for filing charges and penalties. This covers your base fine for DUI, surcharge fees, and assessment fees. Yep, the government expects you to pay up and of course show your sincere atonement by in most states spending from 24 hours to up to 10 days of jail time, among other stuff you might need to do.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Credit cards are great as a safety net. If something does happen, many places will not accept foreign insurance and will want cash only, so having a credit card will make it so that you have access to cash at any time. Hospitals or doctors that don't take foreign insurance will many times take credit cards. Also if you have insurance and you have an accident and need to file a claim, be sure to get it translated before you leave the country, as your insurance company will in most cases not translate it. If you go to a translator in the US or UK you might pay more for the translation than the claim you are submitting. Calculator, if you don't speak the language, with some charades skills and a calculator you can find and buy just about anything. In some countries they call them by the brand name of Casio, but they all know what they are for and you will find them very useful. You can buy them out here in Asia for around $2 USD, to get the precise foreign conversion rate use your calculator!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[LAX has as you would imagine a lot of different airport transportation options with the most used being the airport taxi and limo companies, which would be the very expensive options. Airport limos can be a good deal if you have a group that is too big for a taxi, if you charter the limousine it will work out to be comparable to a airport shuttle but you get to ride in style! The next best option if price was your major concern would be the multi stop airport shuttles which bundle one or two, or maybe on rare busy occasions, as many as 4 or 5 different locations in one general area together, so Encino and Tarzana or Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades, or Hermosa and Manhattan Beach. Many of the big hotels also have airport shuttles for their guests.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Aspen has one company that is licensed as a airport shuttle and lots of luxury limousines and one taxi service that can multi-load out of the airport, but they are fractional meter rather than a set rate by zone like a true airport shuttle, and as such do not offer the same inexpensive fares that people expect when they take a airport shuttle. The market is further confused as there is an Airport shuttle service that goes to Eagle Vail airport and a bus company that also runs a shuttle service between Aspen and Denver International airport the difference being that they serve the airports as there core business.]]></description>

The biggest thing, remember to pack is your brain, think about your security, and think about it before you go on the road.Bring some little locks. They just need to be strong enough that they will cause some damage when removed; this will keep the maids honest. If you have the weight allowance bring a bike cable and lock, you can do lots of stuff with that combination like closets and tables drawers you can lock them and give yourself some space for things like camera bags, smart phones and other expensive electronics. If not you can lock your bag or luggage, and then lock it to a piece of large furniture.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are a few reasons why this is so, but the biggest by far is that they are not afraid of deep water; and by deep water, I mean water that you can not stand up in. Deep water really has no difference in regards to depth, sure it might be a little colder and things like currents and waves might act a little differently, but psychologically there is really no difference once you can not touch the bottom, be it 7 feet, or 1000 feet, once you are comfortable as a snorkeler, or a free diver, the depth doesn't matter to you anymore once you are comfortable that you can get to and stay at the surface for as long as you want. The next biggest reason is comfort with the mask. I have seen many instructors that don't really do a good job on this part of a scuba diving course and many of these divers will be hobbled and many of them will drop out of scuba diving all together, because the instructor failed them in this fundamental area that is so important to there feeling completely comfortable in the water.]]></description>

Bangkok receives million's tourists every year and is one of the busiest flight destinations in Asia with only Beijing, Tokyo and Hong Kong having more international flights into it than Bangkok in 2009. Some people also take limousines which are promoted inside the terminal by touts, legal and illegal, that offer a much more expensive ride into the city. Buses are also available into the city they are cheaper but most people find the metered cabs to be a very good value as they take you right to your destination hotel or condo and for most first time visitors to Bangkok this would be recommended.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Looking for a US criminal defense lawyer is not a very easy thing to do as there are many different variables that come into play starting with, is this a ticket offence like a drunk driving or reckless driving, or is it a federal offence like drug trafficking or money laundering that will be tried in a US Federal court? Many jurisdiction in the US are feeling a budget pinch, unofficially what they are doing is increasing what we like to call the gotcha tax, where they increase the street presence and up the numbers of traffic stops and tickets that are coming into the system, as they are going after speeding offences and safety equipment infractions like broken or missing equipment like lights or seat belts, they are getting a increased catch of the more serious criminal offenses that can end you up in jail or prison, like drunk driving and drug offenses.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I would say that the number one thing is don't stop at divemaster! The reason is simple; there are more dive masters than there are instructors. Dive instructors can work as dive masters but not the other way around, so a dive center when given the chance to hire a divemaster or an instructor, if they have one slot, they will take the instructor more times than not. The exception would be dive masters that have lots of local experience, might get the nod over a brand new instructor. There is a saying around the dive industry that you can never have too much lead or too many instructors.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I remember that the thing that I really hated about the China Air flight schedule was that there was a 6 hour layover at Chiang Kai-shek Airport in Taipei, which is besides LAX in my opinion, the worst airport in the world, back in the day there was no internet and the food and drink was horrible, and to add insult to injury they were charging 5 star prices. I use to bring a pool mattress and an alarm clock and sleep on the terminal floor it was that bad. Well they have made some improvements to the airport, but thankfully the layover now is only 2 hours, which after a bathroom break and stretching your legs was an easy one to do.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The thought of getting paid to travel is to most people a fantasy yet the internet does make this a possible dream, if you are willing to pay the price of admission, which is commitment to the belief that you can do it. I don't want to blow smoke up your exit port, it is not an easy job to do, or find, but do you need to do it full time? I would say that if you could stay out on the road twice a year for 2 to 6 weeks at a time, that you could do this part time and make a little money to offset your travel expenses.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In addition to getting immunized before you get on the road, you can also be good eco travelers by teaching locals to cough and sneeze into their elbows, demonstrating how to do it correctly, and then demonstrate the wrong way. Start by waging your finger in the universal no sign and  show how virus's are transmitted to them by sneezing into hand and then touch something like a desk or table, then parody having someone else touch the same spot and bring to face pointing at eyes, nose and mouth and then parody being sick. Then re-demonstrate the correct way and smile.  They will understand this and hopefully that will virus into their community rather than a real virus!]]></description>

Anyone who has been on Cambodian streets on two, three or four wheels knows it's a free-for-all affair. There are city ordinances that seem only to be enforced when the boys in blue are near enough to evaluate the worth of stopping a violator. And like it or not, the foreigner is viewed through lenses embossed with a dollar sign and he/she will often be stopped for what seems to be the most mundane of reasons.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Almost anticlimactic is when the eagle ray and turtles make their appearance which would be the main highlight of any other dive.  After 10 minutes or so of watching the turtles and the mantas we are dangling in the water column, suspended like oversized puppets, off gassing at 5 meters, each wondering if we will get to do this great of a dive again.   People that have experienced not being able to pull enough air from their regulators can strongly empathies with people that have been water boarded, as you have the same physiological - psychological sensations of not getting enough air, and the air that you are getting is wet.  This is one of the main reasons to spend a bit more on your regulators to upgrade to a balanced regulator, as they tend to provide more air than non balanced regulators, this becomes even more pronounced the deeper that you go, as you must suck harder to counteract the ambient pressure at depth "to crack the first stage" and pull air from the tank with a non balanced regulator.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The best way to do this is to have a budget and then record everything that you spent money on from the time that you left your house to the time that you get back; you might be surprised at how small of a percentage the actual Asian diving was! One of the ways you can back track is to look at what you spent on your credit cards.  If you are like most people you will put the big stuff on the cards and pay cash for the small stuff.  The credit card purchases themselves are a way for you to save money, as most major credit cards charge an international transaction fee, and then many merchants in Asia also charge you a transaction fee, so you could be paying as much as 6% more on those large foreign purchases, something to really think about.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The train is cheap, around $40 for a 2nd class air-con berth which is comfortable, be sure to get lower bunks as the upper bunks will sway more so you don't get as good a sleep. You can also get 1st class air con seats where there are only 2 people in the cabin. The cabin is fairly small yet they managed to fit in a sink and a mirror which are the only real upgrades to the seats - berths. The biggest benefits is the ability to lock the door from the inside, so if you are traveling with your significant other you can have some "Risky Business" type nocturnal entertainment, not quite the same as the mile high club but something that will I am sure make the trip more memorable.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Summing up almost all dive pro's will recommend that you do the PPB before you do the Deep Dive in the Advanced Open Water Course and that the Peak Performance Buoyancy is one of the most entertaining scuba diving instruction that you will do. After you have completed expect to see better air consumption as well as being more efficient in the water!  Being more in control is safer for you as well as better for the environment as you will be less likely to hit the bottom or get a nick name like pig pen for all the silt you stir up! As I like to say "Get in over your head and smile, smile, smile!"]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The first thing they will do after they empty all of the air out of the tank and remove the "head" , tank valve is tip the tank upside down and place their hand under the hole to see what comes out, hopefully just a little bit of water will come out. Most tanks that have been in service for awhile and have been refilled on a regular basis will have a very small amount of water normally less than a teaspoon and some of which will be there from the emptying of the remaining air from the tank to do the service. ]]></description>

The electronics they do have for sale are certainly neat they just aren't the super cool stuff I was expecting like a 100 meter TV  or a virtual Ginza tour complete with night clubs and interactive hostess that tell corny jokes something anything off the wall like that that the Japanese are famous for producing.

A 1/16 inch crack that runs for 4 feet is going to cost you a lot of money over the course of a year.
