			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While there are numerous wine regions in and around Cape Town, two of the best are definitely Paarl and Franschhoek. If you are a fan of French wine regions, you will definitely want to take a tour of Franschhoek. In fact, the area has been aptly nicknamed the French Corner due to the fact that it is just a bit like visiting Provence, with the exception that you are in South Africa. Even the names of the farms and the streets have a bit of a French twist to them. This is because beginning around 1688 French Huguenots began to arrive in South Africa in large numbers and settled in the region. You can even find a museum and monument that celebrates the arrival of the Huguenots in South Africa. While the Huguenots were trying to escape religious persecution they brought with them their knowledge and experience in viticulture and rapidly began to establish wine farms in the local area. Today, these farms and the wine industry is flourishing in the local area. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Of course, wine is not the only reason to visit this lovely region. You will also find some of the best restaurants in all of South Africa in Franschhoek. The local cheeses and produce are absolutely spectacular and well complimented by the locally produced wines. The idyllic scenery along with the wonderful wines and foods makes this region an area that should not be missed while in the Cape Town region. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While you won&#8217;t find much in the way of traditional shopping, there is a fabulous chocolate shop as well as a local cheese shop where you can purchase items to take back with you. The chocolate shop even allows you to try your own hand at creating delicious confections. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Paarl is yet another area well worth visiting; known for its fabulous wines, eccentric art and plethora of monuments. In addition you will also find a number of antique stores that are well worth browsing as well as fabulous restaurants. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One of the best wine farms to explore is Seidelberg Wine Estate. Not only will you be able to tour the wine farm, but there is also an art studio located here known as Bronze Age and is home to functional pieces of art and metal sculptures. A sumptuous restaurant is located on the same estate along with a cellar that features a working glass blowing studio. If you have never had the opportunity to watch glass being created from sand, it is definitely an experience that should not be missed. You can also purchase glassware at the shop that ranges from perfume bottles to vases to sculpture. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
At wine Valley Horse Trails there are stables right on site that provide you with the opportunity to see the best of the region while enjoying a relaxing horse back ride. This is truly a breathtaking way of seeing the beauty of the local area and should not be missed if you happen to be in the region.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>10 Budget Air Travel Tips</p>
<p>Traveling by air has many advantages, particularly when you go a long distance. Air travel is quick. You arrive at your destination without spending days getting there. Air travel is safe compared to driving your own car. Also, a person can arrive at his destination after a flight rested, relaxed, and ready for work or whatever comes next.</p>
<p>Air travel, without proper planning, can be very expensive. That is especially true now with the legacy airlines adding on every possible fee that they can come up with.</p>
<p>The good news is that by following some time-tested, well thought-out travel tips, you can usually do air travel for a reasonable price. The remainder of this article will include 10 budget air travel tips.</p>
<p>1. Be flexible.<br />Air fares are higher some days of the week than they are others. The time of day your plane departs can also affect the ticket price. Check out different days and times that fall within the parameters of when you can travel.</p>
<p>2. Check prices at discount airlines.<br />Southwest, JetBlue, Frontier, and Spirit are all referred to as low-cost airlines for a reason. Their ticket costs are often less. Also, they tend to either not charge a luggage fee, or the first bag is free.</p>
<p>3. Check on the Internet, but also talk to a travel agent.<br />When you do both, you can be sure you are getting the lowest possible fare.</p>
<p>4. <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://vacationgiveaway.blogspot.com">Sign up to receive discount airfare e-mails.</a><br />If you type &#8220;discount air tickets&#8221; into your favorite search engine, it will list companies that will keep you aware of discounted prices by e-mail.</p>
<p>5. Start early to look for a good fare.<br />Don&#8217;t wait until the last minute to check ticket prices. You don&#8217;t have to book your ticket until you are ready, but a good price could come early.</p>
<p>6. Buy a vacation package.<br />If you are going on a trip that involves air fare, hotel, and a rental car, or airfare plus either of the other two, consider buying it all at once from the same discounter. You can usually save a significant amount.</p>
<p>7. Consult &#8220;name your own price&#8221; websites.<br />Priceline.com and hotwire.com ask how much you will pay for a ticket. There are restrictions; but, if they accept your price, you can save up to 40%.</p>
<p>8. Investigate flying as a courier.<br />A company hires you to go and uses your luggage allowance to transport time-sensitive documents or materials.</p>
<p>9. Check prices to alternate airports.<br />Large cities sometimes have more than one airport. Often other cities with an airport are near the destination that you need to reach.</p>
<p>10. Choose your destination based on ticket cost.<br />People often have a list of places they want to visit. Their travel dream is to go to and experience many different places. One travel plan is to purchase <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://vacationgiveaway.blogspot.com">cheap tickets that are on a special promotion </a>to a place the person would like to visit. Buy the ticket, go, enjoy it, and mark it off the list.</p>
<p>Buying your airline ticket as cheaply as possible will allow you to go more and do more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Travel is a multi-trillion dollar industry.  There are so many things to do and places to see that fall under the travel blanket.  You can travel to a local B and B or clear across the world and it would all help to bolster the industry.  When most people travel, there is a sense of pleasure and escape.  However there are people that must travel for business or unexpected situations that might not experience that same sense of freedom or pleasure as the vacationer.  My articles will focus on the traveler that goes for fun or enjoyment with some ideas that maybe you haven’t thought of and tips that may make it easier, especially when flying to your destination.  As a person who worked for a few airlines with both domestic and international flights, I’ve learned a few things along the way and have seen all kinds of things, to say the least.</p>
<p>-Domestic Travel (Within the United States)</p>
<p>-International Travel (Everywhere else)</p>
<p>-Traveling Tips and Flying In General</p>
<p>-Baggage Do’s and Don’ts</p>
<p>-Children Traveling Alone (and Infants)</p>
<p>Although the last point may not seem enjoyable to some, to the children that are traveling for summer vacation or going to Grandma’s house, there are important things that everyone should think about and have arranged which will make the child’s vacation much more enjoyable and less stressful.</p>
<p>These articles will be short blurbs that will be to the point and hopefully pass on some helpful tips to make any travel that anyone may take in the future a little more fun, or at least less chaotic.  Be sure to check back for the full mini-series to get an overall view of some helpful travel tips.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this present economy, spending on vacations can put a heavy hand on your budget. But there are certain tips that can let you enjoy your trip and also save some money. For instance, you can save money on airfare by looking for round trip tickets rather than one way tickets. Booking connecting flights can also help you save a deal. </p>
<p> Another important aspect of travelling is food. Most of us are unaware of good places and end up taking most of the meals in the hotel we stay, which can turn out to pretty expensive. Hence a great way to save money during travel is by planning and having your meals for cheaper price outside the hotel you stay. Cooking for yourself is another option to consider as it not only helps save money, but is also fun as well. </p>
<p> When on vacations, we spend most of our time travelling and spend equally huge amounts on taxis. But by booking for car rentals in advance you can save big bucks. </p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.steve.com">Steve Perillo</a>, the CEO of Perillo Tours, a travel Company that specializes in trips to Italy, hosts a travel show, where he gives a lot of useful travel trips. Pauline Frommer, an acclaimed travel expert and creator of several travel guidebooks was invited as a guest on the Steve Perillo talk show, where she shared her experiences on budget travel and also gave some tips on travelling cheap. She suggested that tourists can travel for less by trying alternative accommodations, such as private apartments, monasteries, convents, and other religious accommodations. Johnny Jet, a US based expert travel blogger also appeared as a guest on the <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.perillotv.com">Perillo Travel Talk Show.</a> He is of the opinion that being friendly to the gate agents and flight attendants can ensure a smooth trip. He also gave viewers tips on how to get cheap business class and first class seats as well as information on hotel booking. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you&#8217;ve traveled a lot in your life &#8211; or have hardly really ventured out much at all &#8211; it never hurts to brush up on a few top travel tips. Although different advice may apply depending on where you&#8217;ll be going, there is a core set of tips that make sense no matter where you&#8217;re heading. These tips will help keep you safe, save you money &#8211; and have the absolute best time possible. Learn more by reading on below.</p>
<p>1. Don&#8217;t Over-Pack</p>
<p> One of the most common mistakes that people make when traveling is bringing too many things. You don&#8217;t really need to bring a fresh change of clothes for each day &#8211; there should be laundromats, for example. Contending with a massive, bulging suitcase at each stop is never any fun. Pare your belongings down to as few as possible to have the easiest time.</p>
<p>2. Notify Your Embassy</p>
<p> If you&#8217;ll be traveling out of the country, it never hurts to notify your embassy. Give them your basic travel itinerary and contact information. That way, if an emergency arises back home they&#8217;ll be able to get a hold of you easily. It&#8217;s just one more way to gain peace of mind when overseas.</p>
<p>3. Obey All Local Laws</p>
<p> Different countries have different laws. Research what the laws of the country you&#8217;ll be going to are, and make sure to follow them. Nothing ruins travel plans more quickly than getting in trouble with the local authorities. Be conscientious about obeying their rules and you will have no trouble whatsoever during your holiday.</p>
<p>4. Check Travel Sites For Advice</p>
<p> Once you&#8217;ve decided on a particular destination, sign up with a travel website and keep an eye on the tips and advice being posted there. Things can change in the blink of an eye, so monitoring those discussion boards and other websites is a smart move. You&#8217;ll keep abreast of how things are in the place you&#8217;ll be going, keeping ahead of current events and other issues.</p>
<p>5. Buy Travel Insurance</p>
<p> Travel insurance isn&#8217;t always necessary, but in some cases it makes sense. If you&#8217;re not in top notch health, rely on prescription medications or will be traveling to a tumultuous part of the world, consider investing in a bit of travel insurance for protection.</p>
<p>6. Invest In A Decent Backpack </p>
<p> Being at the mercy of tourist traps selling overpriced drinks and snacks can cost you a lot of money. Invest in a high quality backpack and bring along your own snacks and drinks to tide you over throughout the day. You&#8217;ll save a bundle of cash, and you&#8217;ll keep body and soul together as you tour the area.</p>
<p>7. Learn The Local Lingo</p>
<p> Another great thing about the Internet is that it allows you to learn a bit of the local lingo of wherever you&#8217;ll be visiting. Find out a few key phrases if a different language is spoken, or find out a few popular slang terms so you&#8217;re not surprised on arrival. Learning new words is fun!</p>
<p>8. Talk To Others About Their Experiences</p>
<p> If you know someone else who has visited the same place you&#8217;re going, talk to them and find out if they have any tips about what you should absolutely see &#8211; and what you should avoid. It can be tremendously helpful to get a good friend or family member&#8217;s take on a particular area, especially since you know them so well and can trust their opinion.</p>
<p>9. Make A Packing Checklist</p>
<p> In the weeks leading up to your departure, write up a thorough packing checklist so you know everything you absolutely must have. This should include all of the necessary documentation, as well as maps and other important travel information. You don&#8217;t want to arrive empty handed!</p>
<p>10. Bring Along The Essentials</p>
<p> Most of the time, it is far cheaper to bring along your own batteries, film and toiletries, if possible. Therefore, stock up before leaving and pack them along. Although you want to pack lightly, you don&#8217;t don&#8217;t want to spend a small fortune on these things upon arriving at your vacation destination. Plan ahead and you&#8217;ll save money and can avoid wasting time looking for these things.</p>

<p>Thompsons Africa supports Cheetah conservation</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>During a recent visit to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, Thompsons Africaâs CEO, Linda Pampallis, was given the opportunity to participate in a unique Adopt-a-Cheetah fund-raising initiative, aimed specifically at cheetah conservation, one of the Centreâs core disciplines.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>The worldâs fastest land mammal is fast losing its race for survival, which is threatened by loss of habitat due to bush encroachment, conflict with humans, as well as its own loss of genetic variation. Now on the endangered species list, only between 12000 and 15000 animals remain in small-pocketed populations, mainly in Africa. Prior to the 20th century, cheetahs were widely distributed throughout Africa and Asia, and were originally found in all suitable habitats from the Cape of Good Hope to the Mediterranean, throughout the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East, from Israel to India, and, who would have thought, through the southern provinces of the former Soviet Union.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>The Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre not only provides a haven for a variety of injured and orphaned animals, but has a successful cheetah-breeding programme, which has resulted in the birth of more than 270 cheetahs, and 20 rare King Cheetahs, most of which have been released into the wild. âWe have adopted 4 cheetahs, the cost of which goes towards the upkeep of the cheetahs and their environment, as well as the support of their caregivers and the local communityâ, says Linda Pampallis. âIn return we are able to offer these cheetahs as âgiftsâ to our overseas clients, whose names will be featured on the enclosures. Itâs a win win situation. Thompsons, which offers affordable safaris in Southern Africa, is helping to preserve the environment, but at the same time, we are raising international awarenessâ, she says.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>The Centreâs, Manager, Juanita Ungerer, says its wonderful to have Thompsons on board and that the finances raised through adoptions helps them a lot with their expenses as well as the purchase of costly research equipment. They are soon hoping to purchase a sonar machine.</p>
