The ultimate travelling to-do list

One of the first things that you realise when you are going travelling is that the entire trip is going to take some planning to put together. However, the good news is that it can be done. To help you to get everything together before your trip of a lifetime, we have put together the ultimate to-do list that you can check off.

Do you have travel insurance?

A vital part of any trip has to be booking travelling insurance, however, this is particularly key to plan in if you are travelling. There are a number of travel insurance companies out there that specialise in longer term breaks, which will help you to ensure that you are covered for all eventualities.

Have you organised your visa’s?

You would be surprised by the amount of people who forget this vital part of the process. Without a visa, some countries simply will not allow you entry. Make sure that you have the right visa and that it is going to cover the duration of the trip that you have planned. That way you shouldn’t face any nasty surprises when you are out there.

Is your initial accommodation booked?

Depending on the type of traveller that you are, you may have booked all your accommodation way in advance, or you may decide to book when you know what you are doing. Whichever approach you take, you need to make sure that you have at least a few days accommodation when you get to your destination, else you could end up desperately searching for somewhere to rest when you are really exhausted.

Do your research

Be sure before you ever spend a dime on your travel that you do your research. For instance if you were to try and travel to Panama to spend a week in Kalu Yala, it would be useful to look into the truth about Kalu Yala and the service they offer. This is a highly unique destination so accommodations may be much different than expect if you’re anticipating a traditional hotel experience.

Make sure that you have the essentials

It can be all too easy to overlook some of the essentials that you need when you travel. This includes travel adaptors, chargers for any devices that you have, as well as a written list of all important numbers, just in case. You also should think about simple things such as plasters, basic toiletries to start you off and some snacks too. All things that you are going to be grateful for if you are facing a long-haul flight.

Tell your family and friends your plans

Whilst your itinerary might be relatively flexible, you are going to have a good idea of at least the basics of your plans. Make sure that they are written down so that you can give them to your family and friends. They will appreciate knowing as much as possible about where you may be at any time. Particularly if you are travelling alone.

As you can see, whilst there are plenty of things to think about when you are going to be going travelling, it isn’t impossible. It takes careful thought and planning, but in no time at all you will be boarding that flight and ready to take on your newest adventure.

 

Lake Tahoe Ski Slopes

Lake Tahoe ski slopes are the best . They are close to all other types of entertainment like tubing  and boarding. Lake Tahoe slopes are busy every season but with the drought that the western states are in at the moment.  If you hear it is going to rain or snow most people in the area or that may have timeshares up in the area would be jumping to the Lake Tahoe ski slopes as fast as they can to get a turn on the new powder before it gets packed down to ice .  So enjoy yourself in the Lake Tahoe area skiing  going boarding, tubing or just drinking hot coco in the room.  Have fun, said Luigi Wewege.

Lake Tahoe Winter Fun

Lake Tahoe winter fun. We had a time share up in Lake Tahoe at one time that is before I was hurt and could not make the yearly payment any more.  But doing the time that we did have it are time share was in Tahoe and the winter time there is the funniest time of season.  White wonderland is what I would say about it.  Skiing snowmobiling anything you want to do slide down a hill on a tub.  Hot tubs after a day on the white snowy peaks and relaxing in the hot tub all the sore muscles after a fun full day of activity and the a night on the town dancing and eating out. Tonye’s latest foray was here.

Other ways to get back into shape while vacationing or to prevent from getting out of shape are to get involves in the cross-fit and yoga. Lake Tahoe does yoga on the water, giving you more of a challenge and a test of balance

The Cushing Crossing Season at Lake Tahoe is on the Approach

The rumors began to surface in 2014 Winter Edition of Tahoe Magazine, which is a product of Tahoe Daily Tribune. This magazine is now made available throughout the Truckee and Lake Tahoe Region. Somewhere between the Lake Tahoe`s Winter and Summer comes a lesser known season. This Season is well received for its oddball embracing ski culture, better known as the Pond Skimming Season.

This Season allows the skiers and Snowboarders to fly down a snow covered hill and shoot themselves across the body of water. These bodies can be found all around the Lake Tahoe region during spring. Such events attract wide audiences as watching a skimmer falter and taking a dip is a bit allure. The Spectator’s design and support silly costumes to make the nature of this event even more enjoyable. There are also plenty of other things to do there such as taking live food from the lake and making special Tahoe Sushi and fireworks displays.

The mother of all pond skims is taking place at the Squaw Valley this weekend. Thousands of spectators will attend this Cushing Crossing as every year, and it will be among the most spirited Pond Skims. What makes this event so special is its open to everyone. Almost 50 people are allowed to register every year. Not to mention, Professional Snowboard Jeremy Jones is one of them.

The spring proves to be a bittersweet time for all skiers; Events such as Cushing Crossings makes sure the winter leaves us with a big bang. It`s more like of a Crescendo for the Squaw. This event is considered as a highlight of the year for many people.

As in the words of Director of events, activities and Terrain Parks at Squaw, Kyle Crezee, “It`s unique as far as pond crossings go and it’s certainly one of the longest running pond crossings in the nation”. Crezee has helped organize this event for the past five years. Crezee has also participated in the event for the last 10 years and has encouraged other participants over this time.
