(Hostel travelers) Do You Need An Extended Warranty on Your Car?

March 8th, 2010 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By Roberto Garabell

  Extended warranties amount to extra protection beyond what you get from the dealership or car manufacturer when you buy a new or used vehicle. While some people have settled for pat answers - don’t get one for a new car, do get one for most used cars - a careful look at repair records, maintenance costs and automotive build quality yields a much more complicated picture. There is no easy answer, just the right answer, and stopping your search for the former to find the latter instead is a good start. This article will summarize the findings for you, but you are invited to continue your research and make up your own mind if you remain unconvinced.

If you are buying a new car with a super service record over many years, such as a Toyota Camry, you might think there is no need for an extended warranty. Of course, statistics deal with averages, medians or means, and you could instead fall at either end of quite a long, large curve. Yes, your risk for non-warranty problems might be less on the Camry, but this was thought true of all Toyotas until they recalled millions of different vehicles in late 2009 and early 2010.

Despite the fact that these recalls cost most owners nothing, Toyota owners who had problems after their warranties expired, but before the recalls were announced, had to shell out their own money. If you can’t trust Toyota on build quality, you need to revisit all your assumptions about extended warranties. Don’t forget, either, that you can buy an extended warranty at any time, not just when you are purchasing your vehicle. If you said “no” when you bought it, you can still change your mind!

Playing by the rules

Most people decline the dealer offer of an extended warranty, as well as third-party offers, on vehicles with historically high user ratings. They assumed that whatever was “part of the usual deal” with, say, Toyota (the company or the dealership) was good enough. For the average owner, during average times, this was probably true. If you follow recommended service schedules for oil changes, belts, hoses and brake pads, the thinking goes, the odds should dictate that you turn out fine. Again, this is true for the average user during “normal” times. Are any times normal anymore, though? Like life insurance (or any other kind), you can’t wait until you need it to buy an extended warranty.

For used cars, it is more about the amount of warranty coverage you need than a question of needing it or not. All people have their own tastes in cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles, and the plain fact is that some vehicles need more service, including some very specialized services, than others do. This means you won’t get an answer about your needs for an extended warranty without doing your homework, which at the very least means checking out various consumer reporting services concerning the vehicles you are considering. This will at least give you an idea as to the cars requiring more protection on an extended warranty, rather than less. It is that simple. The more you know, the more nuanced and precise your decision can be.

Other used car issues

The main thing to remember about used cars is not that they are used, but that you don’t know precisely how they were used. You can never really tell how previous owners treated the vehicle, whether it was a “beater” or even if the “service records” in the glove box really belong to it. This doesn’t mean you should automatically opt for the broadest possible extended warranty coverage, but it certainly adds weight to the “default position” vis-a-vis warranties on used cars, namely, that they are usually indicated.

If, in fact, you are purchasing an extremely low-priced auto that historically has been inexpensive to service - and you don’t intend keeping it long, anyway - you might consider any money spent on an extended warranty to be wasted. Of course, much depends on the make, the mileage and the maker’s reputation for build quality, but leaves unanswered the main question: What if something breaks and you don’t have that extended warranty?

The answer?

So, do you need an extended warranty on your car? When does it make economic sense to get one? Despite their so-so repair record, BMWs are always in high demand - partly because of the cachet and partly because of the driving experience. For a used BMW 750Li, which will set you back between $40-60,000 if it’s within a few years of new, the added cost of the extended warranty makes good sense. It is very costly to service this car and keep it running right. Still the flagship of the BMW line (although the engine is now six liters, yielding a 760 nameplate) the 750Li is gorgeous, classy and powerful, but an oil change can cost almost $300.

With all the electronic gadgets and computer-controlled gizmos in the Big Beemer, it is a perfect candidate for an extended warranty. As explained previously, for any car of recent enough vintage to be subject to recall - and that could include a bargain-priced VW, too - an extended warranty just, plain makes sense. Frankly, it makes sense whether you have the Big Beemer or the aging VW, since you don’t know what tomorrow may bring. The extra cost is not exorbitant, especially as it provides the feeling of “extra insurance” and will certainly support your peace of mind - and isn’t that what it’s really all about anyway?

Riding in Cars and Other Travel Information

By Daniel Wade

  Most of the time it is great to be able to impart some aspects of a travel plan to people the traveler is close to and it is kind of fun updating them as the trip is moving along. Internet availability has made it possible for trip itineraries and experiences to be shared online even during the actual trip itself. The problem here is that many things can happen during a trip and if a person insists on emailing others for each particular event then do not be surprised when inboxes start to get flooded by all these mail.

Access to limitless information is now a possibility thanks to modern technology and innovations like the availability of the internet. One can find different pieces of information online and some would require personal relations to be able to view the content. It is possible to make personal travel blogs in this case by reading the article.

When a person travels there is this inkling to let others into the thrill of the vacation and so travel blogs can be a great resource in this case. One can put pictures to accompany the text posts he or she places in the blog to give other people a more detailed account of what happened during a vacation. There is always a decision with regard to private or public viewing for the blog entries which the owner has to decide as entries are made.

When a travel blog is to be created then the writer should make sure that he or she considers different web hosts. It is possible to write about anything when a blog account is made but there are some sites dedicated to a specific topic and this may include any kind of travel. Most of the time a specified topic blogging page will come to offer their bloggers with added elements to their blog pages like travel blogs which offer a mapping feature.

After selecting a particular website a person can fill up an online form and then he or she will be able to have a personal blog account. Something as simple as pictures can make or break a travel blog entry and so always bring a camera for any trip but make sure that the camera can easily be used with a computer. Any blog needs online traffic and so it is best to inform people bout an existing account.

Memorable events during any travel plan should be recorded in any way possible including taking some pictures to have something to remember the event by. Do this while the information is still fresh. The traveler can create an updated blog entry in this case making it possible for his or her family and friends to somehow take part in his experiences as he or she engages in any trip.

When traveling a person can visit the local internet cafes in order to gain some access to the internet if he or she will need to check his or her blog. When a traveler would like to upload pictures from his or her camera it is possible that the internet cafes have the needed equipment if the traveler fails to bring his own. Shops like these may charge a fee for the use of the equipment but the amount is almost always so small that a traveler can disregard the expense.

It is not uncommon for a traveler in the middle of his or her trip to deliver a travel update that may seem hurried to the entry reader. When a blog has been poster rather fast in the middle of a trip maybe then the traveler should edit the entry when he or she manages to find time after his or her trip. When an entry is made without some time spent on thinking about how to organize the content there is a possibility that some unpleasant information and even photographs be included and these should definitely be sorted out.

Posts can easily be screened at home with a good internet connection. He or she may opt to add additional photographs here. Make sure to polish the travel blog to encourage more site traffic and also so that others will be inspired when they see it for themselves.

What the Virgin Islands can Offer Tourists

By Roberto Garabell

  Do you dream of clear blue waters, with mild wave action and sandy beaches? If you love the sun, sand, and tropics, you might be interested in the U.S. Virgin Islands. You may think that a trip to this exotic and tropical locale is out of your budget but in truth, there are many ways you can visit the Virgin Islands without robbing a bank. It is possible to book a hotel, flight, and vacation package that will allow you to sit on Caribbean shores. The U.S. Virgin Islands consist of St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas. These three are world-renowned destinations with rich history and duty-free shopping. A paradise such as this should not be missed because you fear your budget. Instead, recognize the travel site that will provide you with an all-inclusive package for under $700 per person in top hotels like the Wyndham.

It is a real possibility to find your perfect getaway in the Virgin Islands when you have trips including airfare for $619. If you do not want a package but just the accommodations with meals included, it can be less than $200 per person. With the advent of the Internet, nothing is unattainable anymore. There are too many deals being offered for you to wait to book a U.S. Virgin Islands vacation.

You might wonder what do the Virgin Islands have to offer tourists? Certainly warm weather, sandy beaches, and water sports but what else can be included in your vacation of three to seven nights?

The U.S. Virgin Islands, as mentioned, include St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. Depending on how long you will stay in the Virgin Islands, you may be able to travel to all three islands or visit only one. St. Croix and St. Thomas are the two most popular islands for tourists, with St. John as a third option. The main thing besides a tropical paradise that the Virgin Islands offer is culture.

The islands have been formed on a myriad of cultures such as the Carib Indians, Arawak, Africans, Britons, Dutch, Spanish, French, and Indians. There are, of course, United States residents on the Islands as well. This mixture of cultures is apparent in almost anything one can do in the Virgin Islands. You will discover a mingling of languages, architecture, and even boutiques. The most modern history of the U.S. Virgin Islands begins with Christopher Columbus who named them on his second voyage in 1493. At this time, some structures were erected but the native Islanders still had control. Over the next 300 years, the islands became a rich resource for the West India Trading Company and sugarcane. Wars did break out which finally left the Islands in U.S. control. Tourists can visit some of the more historical sites, when they take a break from the private beaches and national parks.

Other attractions available on all three islands include kayaking, hiking, ecological tours, scuba diving, sailing, tropical forest tours, and nightlife. One cannot talk about the U.S. Virgin Islands without exploring the underwater world. The waters around the islands are calm, offering crystal-clear views of more than 100 feet. There are days when the water can be a bit brackish, usually after a storm, but on average there are 300 days of great diving. Cave diving, wreck diving, and reef diving are the typical enjoyments. With diving comes snorkeling tours so if you do not wish to include diving lessons as part of your all-inclusive package consider at least a snorkeling trip. Sailing around the islands to find private beaches, picnic areas, and underwater sites is a major boost to the economy. Night cruises often leave port with dinner, sunset, and luxury in mind.

Cuisine in the restaurants will be varied with such a mingling of cultures as described above. International fare such as Indian food, favorite American dishes, and local meals are all available to the adventurous tourist. A plethora of shops and boutiques will greet you almost as soon as you step off a cruise ship or airplane. You might want to ask a few locals where to head for the best souvenirs, as there are your typical souvenir shops and then those that are off the beaten path. Often, it is easier to find deals in the little known shops set up by locals than in the tourist traps. There is more than one way to reach the U.S. Virgin Islands. A plane package is often a great way to see all three islands but you also have major cruise lines that visit the U.S. Virgin Islands’ ports.

(Hotels) Disneyworld for Scuba Divers

March 6th, 2010 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By Arnoldo Watson

  There is an interesting dive option for certified scuba divers who are vacationing in the Orlando area especially with family members who are non-divers. The Living Seas at Disneyworld’s Epcot Center is home to a marine tank that measures over 200 feet in diameter and 25 feet in depth. This tank contains a sample of Caribbean marine life in an artificial salt water and reef environment. Through the center’s Divequest tour, certified divers can take a special three hour program that includes a forty minute dive in this marine tank.

The current price is $140 US with advance reservations required. Divers meet at the Guest Relations office just outside the main Epcot gates. Epcot park admission is not required or included. However, I was let out in the main area of The Living Seas after the tour so I ended up seeing other parts of Epcot for free anyway. Twice per day at 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm, a maximum of twelve divers per time slot are taken on a behind the scenes tour of the facilities at The Living Seas. All scuba equipment is provided. In fact, divers are not allowed to bring their own equipment for the fear of contaminating the marine tank. Even jewelry must be removed prior to the dive. Scuba wetsuits (shorties), BCs, regulators, fins, booties and masks are provided. Divers are allowed to bring and use their own masks and bathing suits but these are the only exceptions to the rule.

After the facility tour, wetsuits and towels for each diver are already waiting in private stalls that include private showers in the change rooms. The setup is well organized but a bit odd because after changing into wetsuits, the divers are paraded through the public areas where the other Epcot guests are before going into the main level of the marine tank. Once at the marine tank, divemasters are waiting with tanks and BCs already assembled for each diver. The BCs are weight integrated with more weight than needed and the only gauge attached is an air pressure gauge. There isn’t even a depth gauge or octopus second stage as they are not considered necessary for this shallow dive. After the dive briefing, the divemasters help the divers with their equipment on and everyone moves to a descent line at the middle of the tank.

The dive itself is usually beyond most divers’ expectations. There is a lot of marine life in this tank including sharks, rays, turtles and lots of Caribbean fish of all sizes. In fact, the staff claims that divers will see more variety of Caribbean marine life during this one dive than many dives combined out in the open sea. One of the neat things that divers can do on this dive that they can’t do elsewhere is interact with the public Epcot guests. There are sixty observation windows all around the marine tank including views from the main restaurant. The divers become part of the attractions at The Living Seas as the public behind the windows wave and snap photos. Some divers made arrangements with family members to be on the other side of the windows while a designated divemaster videotapes the entire scene. Even though I was skeptical at first, I have to admit that I had fun interacting with the public behind the glass. I had forgotten that the vast majority of people out there are not certified divers and we are somewhat of a curiosity for them.

For scuba divers who dive mainly to see marine life, the Divequest at Epcot will not disappoint. It’s an opportunity to swim through a few large schools of fish and see some creatures like the sharks and turtles up close which as most divers know, is a real hit and miss out in the open water. It is also a very unique opportunity for non-diving family members and friends to see divers in the underwater environment. Divequest is certainly a special dive that is worth doing at least once.

(Travel information) Tourism in Vail, CO

March 4th, 2010 admin Posted in travel | No Comments »

By Roberto Garabell

  Finding the perfect vacation is often a matter of budget. If you do not have a lot to spend, destinations like Europe, the tropics, or somewhere far away can seem like a dream. In the last 10 years, we have seen a plethora of online sites crop up. These sites offer last-minute deals and inexpensive vacations. There are even some that will offer you no-fee flights. A site like this is extremely helpful to finding the perfect vacation for any budget. You have plenty of choices in a site like this, from flights, car rental, and hotels to all-inclusive packages. If you are interested in tourism in Vail, CO, you will be able to use an online site to find the perfect package. Vail, Colorado is one of the most popular destinations for winter skiing, and though it can be expensive, you do have packages or individual vacation choices that offer a vacation within any budget.

Your best option for becoming a tourist in Vail for the winter season is to find a package that includes flight, car rental, and a place to stay. An all-inclusive package will be able to save you money, as opposed to making reservations on several individual sites.

To reach Vail, Colorado, you need to fly into Denver International Airport. You are two hours from Vail in Denver. There are buses that take skiers up to Vail; while they are a budget option, you are still dependent on another’s schedule. Therefore, you will want a vehicle so that you have freedom to move about on your vacation.

The downtown section of Vail is where you will find all the amusements, including the ski lifts. Once you arrive in Vail, you can park in their large parking lot, and walk down into the town with its gingerbread shops and cobblestone streets. The shops, restaurants, and park tend to draw a large crowd of tourists all year round. In the evenings, when the skiing is finished, most tourists head towards the bars and restaurants that dot the streets. Not all of Vail will have the European flair. You will discover the newer sections of downtown are less European in their structures and more western Colorado in feel with log and wood mixed in with luxury.

Accommodations will vary from the simple condo to the luxury hotel. It is in the accommodations where you will find savings with a package from an online travel site. The luxury hotel rooms can be more than $400 a night during the ski season. As you might imagine, the winter season draws in numerous skiers so the luxury hotels can afford to have high rates. However, with an all-inclusive package set up, it is possible to see a little savings on the luxury hotels. For a budget option, you also have condo rentals. Condos include kitchens, space for one or two couples, and can be in Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek is part of Vail, though not in the downtown mix. By going a little further from town, it is possible to find a budget stay. If you can bring more than one couple along, you will also find the rates are quite reasonable for a condo package.

Vail’s ski mountain offers seven miles of mountain-front with seven back bowls. There are three terrain parks, and on average 300 days of sunshine. If you are a skier, you have 5,289 acres of land to enjoy. Vail has consistently been named the number one ski resort in North America which is why it attracts a number of famous actors each year. Some of these actors even have homes in the Vail area.

The ski resort will open when there is enough powder on the mountain which is typically in early November, though some years it can be as early as October. The season usually lasts until April but again, this depends on the amount of snow Colorado receives that year. The average hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. but can extend during the season as more skiers arrive.
