On holidaying with children – where to go? Discover Safari and diving

Some parents prefer not to take their kids to countries on the Asian and African continents on account of the hot climates and infections. But South Africa is excluded from this list – no wonder that around the world calls Cape Town the “Tourist Mecca”.

South Africa and particularly the city of Cape Town, is totally different from all its African neighbouring countries. The country resembles Europe, in many aspects. Even with weather. The South African climate is very mild, pleasant in summer and autumn. In Cape Town the weather is even rather cool in spring and in winter one can see snow on some mountains.

As in the southern hemisphere, the seasons of the year are opposite to the northern hemisphere and European seasons. The South African summer is from December till March. Many celebrities from around the world have chosen Cape Town to spend their Xmas vacation and have bought elite properties on the coast.

Cape Town is an ideal place to come with children – there are enormous varieties of all kinds of activities for tourists. Huge amounts are being spent every year to make Cape Town even a better ‘tourist attraction’ – so even if you visited Cape Town a few years ago, this time you will find many new possibilities for an active holiday. For the whole family, from kid to pensioner.

For example, Cape Town’s Disneyland – Ratanga Junction – South African park of Amusement. All type of rides, entertaining shows with snakes, birds. Music and light shows for the youth. Food stalls and restaurants are everywhere, halaal and kosher meals are also available at Ratanga Junction.

In Cape Town you will be able to enjoy a trip above the city on famous African helicopters. One can only imagine what amazing photos can be made from above – worthy of international magazines!

If you are in Cape Town, then a visit to the famous Table Mountain is a Must. For tourists’ convenience you can chose between a personal hike (that will take you 2-3 hours to reach the top) or use the comfortable cable car. In two minutes you will be exposed to breath-taking views – city, ocean, mountains, exotic plants, You will need few a hours to explore the beauty of Table Mountain. And to spend sunset in the cafeteria on Table Mountain is very romantic and memorable indeed.

In a just couple of hours drive from Cape Town you can visit the great Congo Caves, crocodile, ostrich and rabbit farms… Have you ever dreamt to ride on ostriches? In South Africa it is possible and you will be welcome under trained guide supervision. Moreover, there one can purchases unique items from ostrich and crocodile skin at a very affordable price.

Especially it would be of great benefit to bring teenagers and youth to Cape Town! This is the age for extreme and unique activities. This passion can be answered in visiting the Aquarium where one view the feeding of giant white sharks! And tourist are even allowed to dive in this Aquarium. This is a worthwhile entertainment for brave adults as well.

If you happen to have an official diver’s certificate, you can get a life-time experience and visit islands of ancient sunken ships. Otherwise, again as I mentioned above, visit an Aquarium – it is much more than just an educational trip or sensational show. Find yourself in a world, a miraculous underwater world of amazing fish and sea creatures, all colours, all kinds… And the highlight of this visit, indeed, a great white shark! Just imagine, behind the thickest glass aand rock tumblers in the world you will come face to face with the great white shark!

One other detail, rather moral lesson, you will learn in Aquarium – near the exit you will see a big note “The most dangerous predator in the world” – and you will see yourself, in a large mirror.

If you and your kids always wished to go on safari in Africa, then in South Africa your dreams will come true. Then you should go to the Kruger National Park where animals, yes, even the most wild and dangerous animals, will walk free around your car.

What an experience – your adrenaline will rise high, your heart will tremble when the leopards, and even giant lions and elephants will walk just a few meters from your car. Just be careful – during the whole trip in Kruger Park stay inside and don’t open your windows.

The are too many adventures for active holidays in South Africa. It will fill you and your family with energy and memories for years to come!

Still, some parents prefer to leave kids at home. But can it be a correct decision? By leaving your children with grannies or nannies, you deprive them not only of unforgettable entertainment but also harmonious development.

Types of Holiday Reps

Overseas/Holiday Reps are also known as Customer Services Rep, Resort Rep and Overseas Rep depending on the tour operator you work for but they all basically have the same role. To be a successful overseas rep, you must be outgoing, enjoy meeting and interacting with new people and embrace new experiences and cultures. It is also important that you have excellent sales skills as well as an energetic approach as it can be a very busy but very rewarding job.

The role will often include meeting customers at the airport, presenting them with information that is useful and accurate, holding welcome meetings, visiting hotels on a regular basis to offer guidance and support, displaying high levels of customer service and resolving any problems in a calm and collective manner. Other aspects of the job include guiding excursions, carrying out health and safety checks on the hotel/s and completion of paperwork.

Club Reps

There are many different names for this type of rep, young person’s rep, Club 18-30, Escapades Rep, 2wenty’s Rep, Club Freestyle Rep However, they are all essentially the same. A young person’s rep is a person that ensures that groups of men and women aged between 18 to 35 have the time of their life on holiday. By applying to become this type of rep you will be sent to the liveliest and busiest resorts. The main responsibilities of a club rep are almost identical to that of a holiday rep.

However, in addition to these daily esponsibilities they must also organise the evening entertainment such as pool parties, bar/pub crawls, party nights and beach parties. And while you guests are sleeping you will need to be up early to perform your daily responsibilities such as holding welcome events and dealing with customer complaints.

Entertainment Reps

An entertainment rep is a very demanding role and you will also be expected to join in a wide range of other activities to assist the overseas reps. During the day, you will be making yourself known to the customers, helping everyone join in the fun and presenting a full and varied programme of family focused activities. During the night, you will be on centre stage performing a wide variety of shows to provide the evenings entertainment. From performing in West End style productions such as Frankenstein and variety shows to hosting TV game shows to keep the children entertained.

For this role you will ideally have a talent or keen interest in dancing, singing or performing and a stock of wholesale clothes, although it is not essential.

Children’s Reps

These will often perform a similar role to that of the entertainment rep with their focus mainly one the younger children. They are often in charge of kids clubs providing a welcomed break for parents while at the same time, organising games, challenges and activities for young children to ensure they enjoy every minute of their holiday. This role requires a number of key skills. For example you must enjoy working with children and have the patience to deal with children. Their parents will only want to leave their children in your hands if they feel you are confident and capable in your role.

As this role specifically deals with young children there are often stricter requirements when applying for this role. You should ensure that you check with the operator as to what these requirements are. Many will often require at least 6 months experience of professional childcare and/or a childcare qualification at NVQ 2. Alternatively, you may be eligible if you hold qualifications such as BTEC National Diploma in Childhood Studies. You will need to check the requirements of the tour company you want to join.

A transfer rep is somebody who mainly accompanies holiday makers to and from the airport and hotels. A transfer rep is normally the first person the holiday maker sees to represent the tour company so must always be friendly and approachable as they are the face of the company. During the coach trips to the resorts you will be responsible for conducting a welcome talk that includes details of basic information about the resort, which drop offs you will be going to and how long the trip will last plus most importantly about when their welcome meeting will be conducted.

Transfer reps must also ensure that the guests are booked into their accommodation and that they are dropped off and the correct resort. In the event that the departure flight is delayed it is the responsibility of the transfer rep to keep the customers informed of any developments. As with the role of overseas rep the transfer rep may also act as a guide on excursions.

Does Timeshare Work?

I am not going to be one that simply knocks timeshare for the sake of doing so. I am sure it has some advantages; but I worry when I read “when you buy timeshare on the resale market, you are already ahead of the game, as used properties are significantly less expensive than new ones.” (Consider a Timeshare for your family Vacations, by David Chandler).

Writers on timeshare seem to agree that one is lucky to get 50 cents on the dollar with a resale. Some, very cynical about the benefits, say that the chances of timeshare sales-personnel buying into their own product is almost nil. Most categorically claim it is 0%. Not sure if this is quite the case, but people are becoming very disillusioned; no mistake about that. It has become expensive and there is no guarantee of being able to just take off at your specified week; and trust me swapping doesn’t always work. School holidays in various countries are different, and annual fees are on the increase.

Visiting Youtube was also an eye-opener; people who were once in the timeshare industry, and selling this product, openly speak against it. I am sure that if you can afford around $50 000 for a top week, you will have all the advantage and will be able to book and swap weeks.

But remember that you will then be paying very high monthly maintenance fees to cover overheads and office furniture, probably also a booking fee, and you are locked into one only week of the year. Of course if you are enormously wealthy and end up buying four or five or more weeks, that’s okay. But who’s got $100 000 for a couple of weeks?

Also, you will be locking into the resorts that particular company promotes; and only those. What if you wanted to visit a country not on their list? What if you wanted to send friends or family on a guest week somewhere? What if you simply could not afford the monthly maintenance fees or the annual fees? What if you didn’t have the money up front, and were offered the finance option that comes with every single timeshare purchase, but then realised you would have to pay around 17 percent finance charges?

All of these are major obstacles. I remember going to a timeshare presentation in Cape Town, South Africa, some years ago. I was shocked at their hard-sell tactics; they got our backs up against the wall, and simply could not take no for an answer. Now I realise why they were so desperate. The product simply does not give people what they want.

What if you found an option that did away with all the above disadvantages. Would you take a look? A company offering a lifetime membership at a fraction of the cost, with unlimited access fifty-two weeks of the year to thousands of resorts in 55 countries around the world. With no monthly maintenance fees or levies.

I know there is an alternative. Check it out, and think twice before selecting the timeshare option: a simple search will give you lots of evidence that people are looking for something far more flexible.

Trendy Santa Monica is cool CA vacation

If you’re looking for cool factor on your next California getaway, it would be hard to beat Santa Monica, a playground for L.A. TV and movie people that is all neatly compressed into 8.3 miles strategically bordered by the Santa Monica Mountains on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.

The words “trendy” and “hip” seem to pop up a lot in the descriptions of the some 400 restaurants packed into this little piece of real estate. Throw in a few art galleries, some luxury hotels and – oh yes – celebrities, and you have the makings of an eye-popping diversion from your everyday hometown.

Our recent visit to Santa Monica reminded us of why we moved to California. The weather was one of those clear-as-a-bell L.A. days that do come around more often than you might think, the haze having been efficiently removed by some winds and moisture the day before we arrived. It was reminiscent of a trip years ago we took from the soggy Pacific Northwest to Los Angeles that introduced us to what bright sunshine was all about. We couldn’t wait to return and eventually relocated to Southern California to get our regular dose of California sun.

Such weather shows off Santa Monica as it was meant to be. The views from Palisades Park are breathtaking and take in not only the expansive beaches but such distant features as Malibu on the north and even Catalina Island to the southwest. It’s no wonder that half of L.A. seems to be down here jogging or walking. Wide, tree-lined and well-landscaped Ocean Avenue stretches along the coastline offering about as pretty a downtown street as you’ll see considering this is all modern office buildings and not historic mansions.

The Santa Monica Pier is the dominant feature on the water’s edge – and also over the water — and is a favorite for families. We lingered with our five-year-old in Kids Cove, the part of the pier’s Pacific Park that has kiddie amusement rides and, when all was said and done, our daughter declared her time on the pier “the best day ever!”

But the Santa Monica Pier can also be very adult. During our visit a local anti-war organization had put up more than 2,000 white crosses on the beach to help people visualize the number of casualties from the war in Iraq. While most crosses didn’t have names, many of them did and it was obvious that grieving families had brought flowers and photos to create makeshift memorials on the beach.

Just up from the pier are blocks and blocks of shopping in the popular Downtown Third Street Promenade, an area where city fathers have taken a street and turned it into a pedestrian mall. There are fascinating shops and an unusual number of movie theaters along this walkway that seems to attract people from all walks of life – young and old, wealthy on down to the homeless. On weekends there is always an assortment of street musicians and entertainers with MP3 players willing to do just about anything to get a tip and a warm round of applause.

Many of the city’s restaurants are located in Third Street downtown area, although many others are spread about in various parts of the city. Our dinner choice, Thai Dishes, actually is about 20 blocks off the beach in the mid-city area and turned out to be a surprisingly affordable spot to enjoy a wide selection of expertly prepared Thai entrees. It’s not formal, but it’s good.

If you’re looking for trendy – oh, there’s that word again – the place in Santa Monica to look is Montana Avenue. There is a 10-block section of this street that has become the center of the universe for celebrity-watchers because this is where we are told the famous like to come out and be semi-real people. The businesses along here are kind of an eclectic collection of specialty stores and quiet little sidewalk cafes and more nail salons per square mile than anyplace west of New York City.

It’s impossible to walk up and down Montana without wondering if that young 30-something “dressed down” with jeans and a pullover sweatshirt is really some starlet taking a break in between movie shoots. Writer Irene Ricasio listed several local celebrity haunts in a recent article for the New York Post. “If it takes you more than 24 hours to see a star in Santa Monica” says the article, “you’re not looking.” The closest we came was seeing an obvious paparazzi stalking Montana with his camera and two-foot-long telephoto lens. No doubt someone had tipped him about a “sighting.”

The cool factor also comes from Santa Monica’s art world where the rich and famous buy while average working stiffs look and wish they could buy. According to the Santa Monica Visitors Bureau, the area is “exploding” with avant-garde galleries, museums and public art. In fact, the city averages more than 10 galleries per square mile and has a total of 38 public works of art.

The words “trendy” and “hip” can also be used to describe many of the lodgings in Santa Monica – especially the small out-of-the-way boutique hotel where we stayed most recently. The newest hotel in Santa Monica, the Ambrose is just 77 rooms and is located about a mile and a half from the beach in a quiet residential area of Santa Monica. The hotel is the brainchild of Deirdre Wallace, a 31-year-old who designed a hotel like she would have wanted during the years she was traveling and working in the film industry. The result is an impeccably decorated, thoroughly updated hotel that pays special attention to detail.

For example, the continental breakfast – included with your room – is catered by Rockenwagner, one of the local celebrity chef eateries. The rooms are done in dark brown and soft gray-green tones and furnished with stylish cabinetry, tables and chairs. The beds have just enough firmness and are decorated with Custom created Matteo Italian bed linens and duvets. Feng shui has been incorporated into each room’s design which, in our case, included a spacious lanai with a scenic fourth-floor view of Santa Monica and the ocean.

The Ambrose could just as well be a health retreat. While the honor bar in most hotels is loaded up with candy and chips, the Ambrose offers unique blends of fruits and nuts, vegetable chips and yogurt pretzels. Instead of soda water, it’s vitamin water. Another product on hand in your room is the Organic Honey Sugar Glow for your skin, or perhaps you’ll want to try the Power Plant Elixer Tonic.

There is also a gym on property that includes a Stairmaster, elliptical machines, pilates mats, balance balls, a ballet bar and a fitness library. If you want to read about something other than fitness, the Ambrose also has a cozy fireplace library with a variety of reading material.

The Ambrose is just the right choice for “trendy” Santa Monica – an experience far and apart from the everyday life most of us lead and a great topic of conversation Monday morning when you’re back in the office.

Cheap Maui Vacations

Surveys have shown that the two most visited islands in the US are Maui and Hawaii. You can either take the word of those who have gone there, or see for yourself by planning your next great vacation in Maui.

As one of the Hawaiian islands, Maui is often called the “Valley Isle” because of it’s location between two volcanoes. It is the second largest of Hawaii’s eight islands and has many tropical rain forests, pristine beaches, clear waters, green pasture and rocky cliffs.

The island is a great place to visit throughout the year, as the weather stays a comfortable 75 to 85 degrees all year round. If you are interested in spending your next vacation here, try booking online or visit a travel agent. This would certainly be a memorable vacation and be sure to bring back lots of souvenirs and pictures.

Tourists can stay either at the western or eastern side of the island. The western side is the biggest tourist destination and where most of the resorts are located, in the towns of Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua. However, if you want to avoid the crowds, try the east side where you can trek through the rainforest, see waterfalls and cross over land bridges.

How can you start your tour in Maui? Well, you can probably start by hopping on board the Sugar Cane Train in Kaanapali and relax in an open-air coach while visiting the historic town of Lahaina. You could then snorkel at Wailea Beach or relax in its waters and see the black lava formations that mingle with the sand.

For those who don’t want to swim, they can go whale watching; join a fishing cruise or a scenic sightseeing cruise. This will give the tourists the chance to learn more about the island and intermingle with other tourists.

In the evening, you can enjoy a dinner cruise with lively music and dancing in the perfect setting for a romantic evening. These boats usually depart on the west side of the island and many of these can be found in Lahaina. These cruises usually last about two and a half hours and it is recommended to arrive early.

When you return to the island, you may have a drink at the one of the open air bars or watch a fire dance. This show will surely amaze you as these individuals are able to perform their demonstration unscathed.

Before you leave, you should check out some of the art galleries. Who knows, you may find something here that you would like to buy and display in your home.

A vacation in Maui is not only for families but for couples as well who may be celebrating their honeymoon or anniversary. This provides you the option to stay at a secluded place so as to enjoy each other’s company without disturbances.

This vacation in Maui may be your first, but surely this will not be your last. With the breathtaking views and the friendly people, chances are you will return again if you need drug rehab or alcohol rehab in years ahead or even recommend this place to family members and friends

Christmas Venues Going Fast

As the year ends and when your work schedule seems to be managing well despite the holiday rush, you almost breathe a sigh of relief until your boss calls you. Suddenly you are tasked to take your boss and your colleagues to a corporate Christmas party. You are given limited budget and limited headway to make party plans. Your normal workload to end the year seems to be too much with the Christmas party plans being more of a nuisance. As the party date nears, you are left paralyzed as you do not have a hint of an idea how to get your Christmas party events started.

If you are in this situation, you are definitely not alone during the holidays. In the end, somebody has to be tagged in organizing Christmas party events and like others, you do not have an idea where to start. However, if you stick with the basics when planning Christmas party events, understand what is needed to get done, and find the right team to support you, you will be giving your company a worthy memory during the holidays.

Planning for Christmas party events are centered on a few critical considerations that should be carefully planned to come up with a successful Christmas party. First, you should find a venue for your party. When thinking of venue ideas, the cost of the location comes into play. Are you willing to drive or take a flight out of town at your expense? What do your colleagues feel about a far-flung ski trip? Do they prefer the nearest restaurant instead? In finding a venue you should consider the general preference of your workmates. In event management such as Christmas party events, location is the most critical component.

Before choosing a venue you should have a definite criteria based on the details of the party. The choice venue should serve the objective of the event. Choose from a range of suitable venues and negotiate each venue to evaluate the flexibility of these locations. Before you finalise a venue, make a short visit to the site when possible to see the venue yourself. You can employ a team of planners that specialises in corporate events to assess the venue for you and break down the cost of the event from the range of venues proposed.

Once you select a venue for any pending Christmas party events, the next hurdle for corporate events is finding the right accommodation. The location of your venue and the accommodation should go hand-in-hand. It is important for corporate party planners to get the details of the accommodation and study it exhaustively before making reservations. With the holiday season filling up hotels, party planners have to be efficient in their hunt for accommodation lest the best deals gets filled up by other companies.

First, you should select from a list of hotel accommodations according to the budget range for the Christmas party. If your company decides on bringing their families along for the Christmas party, make sure to book individual suites for families. At the same time, make sure that the room allocation is managed up to the last guest. Having confusion on room assignments is an unnecessary hassle that can easily be avoided with the right organisation in place.

Along with the venue and accommodation, a Christmas party is not complete without sumptuous Christmas meals. Finding a catering service that will work in your venue and accommodation is doubly hard if they are not coordinated from the start of the planning process. The best practice in planning for major events is to have the hotel or party planners get a package deal that includes catering and accommodation for your company. However, if you opt for third party catering service in a location out of town, make sure that they have the ability to manage large events. While most caterers offer their delicious roster of meals, managing company events requires more than just preparing the meals. It is best to find a specialist travel service that can organize corporate catering services for your company.

Starting with the basics will keep your party planning journey above water. If you have an excellent team in place you can close out the holiday season with a bang. However, experience tells us that planning for Christmas events has become a specialised skill with increasing varieties of party arrangements and unique planning methods. Enlisting the help of a third-party event organiser that specialises in Christmas parties will give a big boost to your event. At the same time, the premium that you will be paying for these planners is money saved from the inefficiencies of trying to start-up a party yourself – you would need more computer memory just to keep track. Finally, corporate venue and accommodation finding agencies will definitely streamline your Christmas party into an effective event so that your company can build momentum for the next holiday season.
