Amber jewelry is becoming increasingly popular. The number of people buying amber jewelry is increasing every day. Many jewelers are producing diverse adornments. Many of them are containing Baltic amber jewellery, which is greatly appreciated since Classical Antiquity. It is reported that since the 1st century BC there were undertaken expeditions from Ancient Mediterranean to the shores of Baltic Sea. Their goal was to obtain Amber for jewelry. During the peak of Rome these journeys became so popular that the route to Baltic got the name of the Amber Road. This way was so much utilized that even today {sometimes happen

Be careful climbing Huayna Picchu
If you are going to be climbing Machu Picchu you should definitely try to climb Huayna Picchu. Two things to keep in mind. #1. When I was there last I arrived at the visitor center really early in the morning (7:30-ish), but there was a half-mile long line just to get up to Huayna Picchu. So if you want to go, you may have to camp up there overnight! #2. Be careful climbing Huayna Picchu because it is very wet! It usually rains during the afternoon, and it is always foggy, and damp. So make sure you have a good footing because it's a long way down...Related to:

General safety in Brazil
By summer I guess you mean Brazilian winter so I suggest you go North if you want warm weather. It's also cheaper in the North. But Brazil is BIG so decide what you want to see and that makes it easier.
Traveling by bus is affordable and surprisingly comfortable (buy a seat "executivo" or "leito"). But there are stories of buses getting robbed in the North. You might also find good airfare on airlines like Gol and Azul.
Crime is everywhere but just keep an eye on your stuff and don't go to places where you shouldn't and you'll be fine. In general, don't go to the beach at night! Brazilians are really good swindlers so if anyone offers to hold your stuff it's generally a good idea to decline their (perhaps insistent) help. On the other hand if you're being robbed just give the thief what he wants, don't fight back. Also, to be safe should you be robbed, always walk around with a little bit of money to give to the thief because if you say you have nothing then you could be in trouble.Related to:

Avoid Ormeno S.A bus company in South America
This is a negative review of Ormeno S.A. Bus Company which is a Peruvian bus company serving South America (Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina). I was told to be at their bus station in Lima at 12:00 noon for my "Royal Class" trip to Guayaquil this past November 15. The scheduled departure was 2:00 PM. I check two bags which contained some clothes, shoes, medicine, some computer devices e.g. security cable, usb cables, power supply, Magicjack phone. I carried a back pack with me which contained my computer, camera, and a sweat shirt. When we finally boarded the bus at 4:00 PM I noticed the bus seem not be in very good condition. The upholstery was worn and the bus was dirty. The bathroom filthy having a plastic jug with some water to wash with. I thought to myself "I hope we don't break down".
Well about 11:00 pm we did just that in the middle of the desert. It was a broken water hose. The bus had few tools to work with relying on flagged down cars on the highway. Some passengers build a fire as a signal to other drivers because it was pitch dark. Once the water hose was fixed; now we had to get some water. After a few hours we were back on our way. Oh, this is not the worst part.
We finally got to Guayaquil the next night at about 9:30 PM. Instead of taking us to a bus terminal we were dropped off on a very dark street near their office. When I went to retrieve my check bags I discovered my bags were missing. I was told that my bags might have been put on a different bus in Lima and to return to their Guayaquil office the next morning.
I returned as instruction and spoke to an individual by the name of Jorge. Jorge told me my bags were in Lima and I could have them the next day. He told me not to go the office but to call. Of course no phone number was given so I had to find it. I was assured my bags were found and that I would get my bags.
I had an Ecuadoran friend call for me because I do speak Spanish however, I felt it better to have a native communicate for me. My friend called the next day and she was told my bags were somewhere in South America in Argentina, Bolivia or Chile. I was instructed to return to the office the next morning at 11:30 to speak to the Guayaquil manager. I prepared a document in Spanish which stated that I had to return to my home in Costa Rica the next day. The document contained instructions about shipping my bags to me; noting that they continued to tell me they had my bags and they would be returned to me.
I returned to their Guayaquil office as instructed to meet the manager. The manager's name is Americo Pachas Levano, Lcdo. Mr. Levano seems surprised that I had prepared a document to be signed describing the situation and solution. I don't think he want to see me because I had to ask worker if I could meet him. Up to the point where I met him all communications were conducted via "worker passing messages". Mr. Levano had me sign their document which basically said the same as mine except they added that they could not be responsible for anything stolen. He refused to sign my document.
Now there were two other issues that resulted from this incident. First, I went to the US Consultant Office in Guayaquil to see if they could do anything. While passing through security I saw three contract security guard going through my document/money pouch (U$40 was missing). I reported it but nothing was done. Second, because I was traveling with no baggage I was selected to be interviewed and a searched by the police at the Guayaquil airport.
Anyone traveling in South America by bus should be advised NOT TO TRAVEL with this bus company (Ormeno S.A.) Ormeno has my contract information e.g. phone number, address and email address should they want to contact me but I will not hold my breath.Related to:

Valparaiso: WALKING from your ship to the city
In Valparaiso your cruiseship will be docked in just a tiny walking-distance to the main attractions in the centre of town, BUT:
You are not allowed to just walk over there, you first have to take a bus to the very other end of the pier / port, about 2-3 km from your ship, because ONLY THERE the security-checks with X-ray etc. can be done and walking is forbidden in the port-area, so there will be a shuttlebus !
This procedure will cost you a lot of extra time and you will have to walk back to the city or catch a taxi. I found this very annoying, but nobody cared about it !
So maybe you do all of your sightseeing in Valparaiso, BEFORE you embark the ship, because once that you are onboard, the time might be too short to get back to the city and take a look around !Related to:

Be aware
A bit obvious, but if you use a taxi driver, define the fare well in advance and also bargain. You can hire one for the whole day to take you (in Rio) to the Jesus statue.
The only thing you have to worry about in Rio is wearing obvious gold jewellery. You also have to NOT go for the scam of a passport protection scheme at the airport. Wear old clothes, no obvious wealth, nothing that can be stolen and a bumbag under the clothes to hold your valuables. Forget watches. Dress simply and lightly, local shoes are good, I did stay at the Trocodero close to Ipanema beach.Related to:

In most countries in the world the 'OK' symbol made using one hand means just that – OK. In fact, in all South American countries that speak Spanish, the OK sign is OK. Here in Brazil it means something much much worse and is shockingly offensive. Don't do it or you may just get a punch in the nose. Or worse. In fact, I don't even have a picture of this offensive gesture, so please enjoy some random photos of Brazil I have loaded for your viewing pleasure.

Other Vaccinations for kids going Intercontinental
Continuation of other vaccinations needed by kids who travel to other continents taken from:
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccine
Infants and children should be as well protected as possible against measles and should complete the immunization series before traveling. While the risk for serious disease in infants from either mumps or rubella is low, these diseases do circulate in many parts of the world and vaccination is recommended.
In addition to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR), monovalent measles, monovalent mumps, monovalent rubella, and combinations of the components are available from the manufacturer. A combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine (MMRV) was also licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005 for children age 12 months-12 years. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that MMR be administered when any of the individual components is indicated as part of the routine immunization schedule (MMRV can be used if varicella vaccine is also indicated). Two doses of MMR are routinely recommended for all children, usually at age 12 months and again at age 4-6 years. The second dose can be given as soon as 28 days after the first dose. If MMRV is used, note that two varicella-containing vaccines should be separated by at least 3 months.
Before travel outside the U.S., children 12 months of age and older should receive two doses of MMR separated by at least 28 days. Children age 6-11 months, if they must travel outside the U.S., should receive monovalent measles vaccine before departure if it is available, or MMR if monovalent measles vaccine is not available. However, MMR given before age 12 months should not be counted as part of the series. Children who receive MMR before age 12 months will need two more doses of MMR, the first of which should be administered at 12 months of age.
Varicella Vaccine
Varicella (chickenpox) is an endemic disease throughout the world. Two doses of varicella vaccine are recommended for all susceptible children 12 months of age and older. The first dose is recommended at age 12-15 months. The second dose is routinely recommended at age 4-6 years but can be given earlier, provided that at least 3 months have passed since the first dose.
Efforts should be made to ensure varicella immunity before age 13 years, because varicella disease can be more severe among older children and adults. Children 13 years of age and older should receive two doses of varicella vaccine 4-8 weeks apart.
Vaccination is not necessary for children with health care provider-diagnosed chickenpox. When a prior history of chickenpox is uncertain, the vaccine should be given.
Meningococcal Vaccine
Meningococcal disease (including meningococcal meningitis) is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis and has high morbidity and mortality rates. Epidemics occur in sub-Saharan Africa during the dry season (December through June), and CDC recommends travelers be vaccinated before traveling to this region. Meningococcal vaccination is a requirement to enter Saudi Arabia when traveling to Mecca during the annual Hajj
Two vaccines are available in the U.S. that protect against four serogroups of N. meningitidis (A, C, Y, and W-135): the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) and the meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4). MCV4 is approved for use in persons 2-55 years of age and is recommended by the ACIP for routine vaccination of adolescents at 11-18 years of age. MCV4 is also recommended for persons 2-55 years of age who travel to or reside in areas where N. meningitidis is hyperendemic or epidemic. MPSV4 can be used when MCV4 is not available. The serogroup A polysaccharide in MPSV4 induces an antibody response in some children as young as 3 months. Thus, vaccinating infants traveling to high-risk areas can provide some degree of protection. For children vaccinated at younger than 4 years of age, revaccination in 2-3 years should be considered if they remain at high risk for infection. For children vaccinated at 4 years of age and older, revaccination should be considered in 5 years if they remain at high risk. (Section Updated February 15, 2008)
Pneumococcal Vaccine
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes substantial morbidity and mortality throughout the world each year. The vaccine is available in two forms: the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) and the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23).
All infants should be vaccinated with PCV7. Infant vaccination provides the earliest protection, and infants younger than 23 months of age have the highest incidence of pneumococcal disease. The primary series for PCV7 includes three doses given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age with a fourth (booster) dose at 12-15 months of age. Children 24 months of age and older who are at high risk for pneumococcal disease (e.g., those with sickle cell disease, asplenia, HIV, chronic illness, or immunocompromising conditions) should receive a dose of PPV23 at least 2 months following their last dose of PCV7. If the child is 10 years of age or younger, one revaccination with PPV23 should be considered 3-5 years after the first dose of PPV 23.
Unvaccinated children 7-11 months of age should receive two doses of PCV7 at least 4 weeks apart and a booster dose at age 12-15 months. Unvaccinated children 12-23 months of age should receive two doses at least 8 weeks apart. Vaccination with a single dose of PCV7 should be considered for previously unvaccinated healthy children 24-59 months of age. Previously unvaccinated children 24-59 months of age at high risk for pneumococcal disease (as previously described) should receive two doses separated by at least 8 weeks. Children 24-59 months of age who are at increased risk for pneumococcal disease and who were previously vaccinated with PPV23 should receive two doses of PCV7 separated by at least 8 weeks. The PCV7 vaccine is not routinely recommended for children older than 59 months (5 years) of age.
Influenza Vaccine
Influenza vaccine can reduce the risk of influenza infection in transmission sea-son (typically November-February in the Northern Hemisphere, April-September in the Southern Hemisphere, and throughout the year in the tropics). The vaccine is prepared in two forms: an intramuscular trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) and a live, attenuated, intranasal vaccine (LAIV).
All children 6-59 months of age should receive TIV annually, as should all children at risk for complicated influenza infection due to chronic medical conditions , including but not limited to asthma, cardiac disease, sickle cell disease, HIV, and diabetes. In addition, all persons who have close contact with healthy children younger than 59 months of age (particularly infants younger than 6 months of age) or with persons at increased risk of influenza complications should be vaccinated annually. For healthy children 5 years of age and older, LAIV is an acceptable alternative to TIV. (LAIV can be given to healthy persons 5-49 years of age.)
Children receiving TIV should be administered an age-appropriate dose (0.25 mL for those 6-35 months of age and 0.5 mL for those 36 months of age and older). Children 8 years of age and younger who are receiving influenza vaccine for the first time should receive two doses (separated by at least 4 weeks for TIV and 6-10 weeks for LAIV). Children 9 years of age and older should receive one injection of the 0.5-mL dose.
Hepatitis A Vaccine or Immune Globulin for Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is endemic in most parts of the world, and infants and children traveling to these areas are at increased risk for acquiring HAV infection. Although HAV is often not severe in infants and children younger than 5 years of age, those infected efficiently transmit infection to older children and adults, who are at higher risk of severe disease.
Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for all children at age 1 year (i.e., 12-23 months) . Vaccination should be ensured for all susceptible children traveling to areas where there is an intermediate or high risk of HAV infection. The HAV vaccine series consists of two doses at least 6 months apart. The first dose should be administered 4 weeks before travel to allow time for an adequate immune response to develop. The second dose is necessary for long-term protection.
The vaccine is not approved for children younger than 1 year of age. Children less than 1 year of age who are traveling to high-risk areas should receive immune globulin (IG). For optimal protection, IG may also be given to children older than 1 year who will be traveling less than 4 weeks after receipt of the first dose of hepatitis A vaccine. The vaccine and IG can be administered at the same time at different anatomic sites.
IG does not interfere with the response to yellow fever vaccine but can interfere with the response to other live injected vaccines (e.g., measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and varicella vaccines). Administration of MMR should be delayed for at least 3 months and varicella for more than 5 months after administration of IG. Moreover, IG should not be administered for 2 weeks after measles-, mumps-, and rubella-containing vaccines and for 3 weeks after vaccination with varicella vaccine. If IG is given during this time, the child should be revaccinated with the live vaccine at least 3 months after administration of IG. When travel plans do not allow adequate time for administration of live vaccines and IG before travel, the severity of the diseases and epidemiology of the diseases at destination points will help determine the most appropriate course of preparation.

Yellow Fever vaccine and more; Intercontinental
OTHER VACCINES that kids "might need" before going intercontinental
Yellow Fever Vaccine
Yellow fever, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes, is endemic in certain areas of Africa and South America . Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required for entry into some countries.
Infants are at high risk for developing encephalitis from yellow fever vaccine, a live virus vaccine. Vaccination of infants should be considered on an individual basis. Although the incidence of these adverse events has not been clearly defined, 14 of 18 reported cases of post-vaccination encephalitis were in infants younger than 4 months old. One fatal case confirmed by viral isolation was in a 3-year-old child.
Travelers with infants younger than 9 months of age should be strongly advised against traveling to areas within the yellow fever-endemic zone. The ACIP recommends that yellow fever vaccine never be given to infants younger than 6 months of age. Infants 6-8 months of age should be vaccinated only if they must travel to areas of ongoing epidemic yellow fever and a high level of protection against mosquito bites is not possible. Infants and children older than 9 months of age can be vaccinated if they travel to countries within the yellow fever-endemic zone. Physicians considering vaccinating infants younger than 9 months of age should contact the Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases (970-221-6400) or the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (404-498-1600) at CDC for advice.
Typhoid Vaccine
Typhoid fever is an acute, life-threatening febrile illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica Typhi. Vaccination is recommended for travelers to areas where there is a recognized risk of exposure to S ser. Typhi.
Two typhoid vaccines are available: a Vi capsular polysaccharide vaccine (ViCPS) administered intramuscularly and an oral, live, attenuated vaccine (Ty21a). Both vaccines induce a protective response in 50%-80% of recipients. The ViCPS vaccine can be administered to children who are at least 2 years of age, with a booster dose 2 years later if continued protection is needed. The Ty21a vaccine, which consists of a series of four capsules ingested every other day, can be administered to children 6 years of age and older. All the capsules should be taken at least 1 week before potential exposure. A booster series for Ty21a should be taken every 5 years if indicated.
Because neither vaccine is fully protective, preventing contamination of food and beverages remains extremely important.
Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is transmitted by primarily night-biting mosquitoes in rural areas of Asia and the Pacific Rim. In temperate climates, their numbers are greatest from June through September; they are inactive during the winter. Most reported cases occur in children. Although most infections are asymptomatic, when encephalitis occurs, the mortality rate can be as high as 30%; neurologic sequelae occur in 50% of survivors and are more common in the very young. The risk to short-term travelers and those who confine their travel to urban centers is very low. Expatriates and travelers living for prolonged periods in rural areas where JE is endemic or epidemic are at greatest risk. The decision to vaccinate a child should take into consideration the itinerary, expected activities, and level of JE activity in the country.
JE vaccine is administered as a series of three injections on days 0, 7, and 30. A booster dose is administered at least 24 months later. Children 1-2 years of age receive 0.5 mL of vaccine per dose; those 3 years of age and older receive 1.0 mL of vaccine per dose. No data are available on vaccine efficacy for infants younger than 1 year of age.
JE vaccine is associated with local reactions in approximately 20% of vaccinees and mild systemic reactions (e.g., fever, headache, myalgias, and rash) in approximately 10% . Serious allergic reactions, including generalized urticaria and angioedema of the extremities, face, and oropharynx have been reported in up to 0.6% of vaccinees, with accompanying respiratory distress or hypotension in a small number of these cases. Importantly, these hypersensitivity reactions can be delayed for 1 to 2 weeks after receipt of the vaccine. Children receiving the vaccine series should be observed for 30 minutes after immunization. Moreover, the series should be completed at least 10 days before departure, and during that time, vaccine recipients should be remain in areas with access to medical care.
Rabies Vaccine
Rabies is an acute, fatal encephalomyelitis usually transmitted by the bite of an infected mammal. Rabies occurs throughout the world and is endemic in most countries. As with other vaccines, the decision to vaccinate will depend on the itinerary and expected activities during international travel. The decision should also be guided by the availability of appropriate antirabies biologics at the destination . Children should always be instructed to report all bites and to avoid contact with animals other than their own pets.
Two rabies vaccines are licensed for use in the United States. Each may be administered to infants and children. All the rabies vaccines, when used in a preexposure regimen, are given as a series of injections on days 0, 7, and 21 or 28. Even if a child has completed the preexposure vaccine series, any mammal bite warrants immediate medical evaluation to determine the need for postexposure immunization.
Vaccinations for kids going to another continent
This information came from the CDC regarding vaccination for kids going not only to South America, but to other continents as well....
Hepatitis B Vaccine
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a cause of acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are more than 200 million chronically infected persons worldwide; the risk of chronic infection is highest when infection occurs in infancy or childhood and declines with age. Infants and children who have not previously been vaccinated and who are traveling to areas with intermediate and high HBV endemicity are at risk if they are directly exposed to blood (or body fluids containing blood) from the local population. Circumstances in which HBV transmission could occur in children include receipt of blood transfusions not screened for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), exposure to unsterilized medical or dental equipment, or continuous close contact with local residents who have open skin lesions (impetigo, scabies, or scratched insect bites).
Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all infants in the United States, with the first dose administered soon after birth and before hospital discharge . Infants and children who will travel should receive the three doses of HBV vaccine before traveling. The interval between doses one and two should be at least 4 weeks. Between doses two and three, the interval should be a minimum of 8 weeks; the interval between doses one and three should be at least 16 weeks. The third dose should not be given before the infant is at least 24 weeks of age. Adolescents not previously vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine should be vaccinated at 11-12 years of age. For adolescents, the usual schedule is two doses separated by at least 4 weeks, followed by a third dose 4-6 months after the second dose.
Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid and Pertussis Vaccine
Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis each occur worldwide and are endemic in countries with low immunization levels. Infants and children leaving the United States should be immunized before traveling. Optimum protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis is achieved with at least three but preferably four doses of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP). The usual primary series includes four doses given at 2, 4, 6, and 15-18 months of age (2). A fifth (booster) dose is recommended when the child is 4-6 years of age. The fifth dose is not necessary if the fourth dose in the primary series was given after the child's fourth birthday.
For infants and children younger than 7 years of age, if an accelerated schedule is required to complete the series before travel, the schedule may be started as soon as the infant is 6 weeks of age, with the second and third doses given 4 weeks after each preceding dose. The fourth dose should not be given before the infant is 12 months of age and should be separated from the third dose by at least 6 months. The fifth (booster) dose should not be given before the child is 4 years of age. Two doses of DTaP received at intervals at least 4 weeks apart can provide some protection; however, a single dose offers little protective benefit. Parents should be informed that infants and children who have not received at least three doses of DTaP might not be fully protected against pertussis.
Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate Vaccine
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is an endemic disease worldwide that can cause fatal meningitis, epiglottitis, and other invasive diseases. Infants and children should have optimal protection before traveling. Routine Hib vaccination beginning at 2 months of age is recommended for all U.S. children (2). The first dose may be given when an infant is as young as 6 weeks of age. Vaccination before age 6 weeks may induce immune tolerance to subsequent vaccines and should never be done. A primary series consists of two or three doses (depending on the type of vaccine used) with a minimum interval of 4 weeks between doses. A booster dose is recommended when the infant is at least 12 months of age, at least 8 weeks after the previous dose.
If Hib vaccination is started when the infant or child is 7 months of age or older, fewer doses are required. If different brands of vaccine are administered, a total of three doses of Hib conjugate vaccine completes the primary series. After completion of the primary infant vaccination series, any of the licensed Hib conjugate vaccines may be used for the booster dose when the infant is 12-15 months of age.
If previously unvaccinated, infants younger than 15 months of age should receive at least two vaccine doses before travel. An interval as short as 4 weeks between these two doses is acceptable. Unvaccinated infants and children 15-59 months of age should receive a single dose of Hib vaccine. Children older than 59 months of age, adolescents, and adults do not need to be vaccinated unless a specific condition exists such as functional or anatomic asplenia, immunodeficiency, immunosuppression, or HIV infection.
Polio Vaccine
While polio has been eliminated in the US, poliovirus continues to circulate in parts of Africa and Asia, including South Asia. In the US, all infants and children should receive four doses of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) at 2, 4, 6-18 months, and 4-6 years of age. If accelerated protection is needed, the minimum interval between doses is 4 weeks. The minimum age for the fourth dose is 18 weeks. Infants and children who had initiated the poliovirus vaccination series with one or more doses of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) should receive IPV to complete the series. Proof of vaccination is required to enter Saudi Arabia for the Hajj.
Rotavirus Vaccine
Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. In developing countries rotavirus gastroenteritis is responsible for approximately 500,000 deaths per year among children younger than 5 years. Routine rotavirus vaccination beginning at about 2 months of age is recommended for all U.S. children. The first dose of the series must be administered between 6 and 12 weeks of age. The vaccination series should not be initiated for children 13 weeks of age or older because of a lack of safety data when the series is begun after 12 weeks of age. Two additional doses are recommended at 4 and 6 months of age. A minimum interval of 4 weeks between doses can be used if an accelerated schedule is needed. All three doses of the series should be administered no later than 32 weeks of age (about 71⁄2 months). Rotavirus vaccine should not be administered to infants older than 32 weeks of age even if the 3-dose series has not been completed.
Other vaccinations: Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccine, Varicella Vaccine, Meningococcal Vaccine, pneumococcal, influena, Hep A .....see in my list of other vaccinations....

Latin America. Not as unsafe as it sounds!
Hello! Safety depends a lot on how much of a wise traveler you are and knowing the right people in the country. All the countries in Latin Aamerica have interesting things for people to enjoy, from relaxing beaches to colonial downtowns and ancient archeology. There's a woman here on VT that is currently traveling through South America. Her member name is tampa_shawn, and she can give you a lot of tips and pointers. She is a budget traveler though, and maybe you can afford a bit more safety and comfort than her. About the safety part, it's more about you than the actual country. Peru for example is one of the great destinations for archeology travel (Machu Picchu), Venezuela for beaches and eco travel (Los Roques - Angel Falls), and both sound very unsafe on paper. Don't limit yourself too much on the whole safety thing. It normally sounds worse than what it really is. Latin America has much to offer.
Fake cops in Bolivia
Whilst in La Paz, Bolivia, I was walking down a street when a girl tourist came up to me saying she was lost and could I help her find a particular street. She said she was from Chile and travelling alone so I walked with her down the road. A short distance later a man appeared and showed his I.D. claiming to be Tourist Police. He wanted to search us for drugs.
He then flagged down a passing taxi and told us to get in. I didn`t like it but the girl climbed in so I followed. He then asked for our IDs so she showed him her passport. He then searched through her bag and wallet. Then he asked me for my ID but Ì keep it and my bankcards locked up in a safe at my hotel, luckily for me. Then he searched through my bag.
It was really obvious by now that this guy was not a cop and I was in a potentially dangerous situation, the "taxi driver" was fake also.
He handed me back my bag and said it was ok for me to go. I stepped out of the taxi and it sped off still with the girl inside. I thought she had been kidnapped but really she was in on the scam too.
While making a report with the real Tourist Police there was a girl there with a similar story.
She had been befriended by a girl tourist and had offered to share a taxi into the town centre from the bus station. While they were driving a man climbed in with them, again claiming to be the police searching for drugs. She was threatened with violence and they took her camera and her money.
So never, ever get into a car with anyone, walk away. Real cops wear uniforms with their names on the front and do not show ID badges to people. So if anyone shows you an ID it is fake so WALK AWAY.
Also, if someone else gets into your taxi get out immediately so do not put your bags in the boot always have them near at hand for a quick getaway.
There was no violence or threat of violence while I was being robbed but if I had resisted then who knows what could have happened.
All I lost was a camera which was insured so I count myself as lucky.
Having said that, La Paz is a stunning place and you shouldn`t let this put you off going there, just bear in mind my story.Related to:

South American bag snatchers
If you get pick pocketed when you are travelling then you were probably drunk or maybe you are a little stupid ! There are some thieves that prey on normal human reaction in order to rob you in broad daylight.
Usually they work in gangs consisting of a couple of kids, and an older, faster, stronger snatcher.
In a busy but crowded place such as a market, the kids will flick ice cream or fruit on to an unsuspecting travellers clothing/bag.
The normal instant reaction to this is to remove the bag or jacket to wipe it clean. At this split second the elder member will run from behind snatching the loosest item. whether it be a camera, bag or jacket.
All you can hope to do is recognise when this happens to you and try to leave the area immediately to find help. Keep your wits about you. A suspicious traveller is a safe traveller.Related to:

As for animals, don't worry, they're not that many dangerous ones out there. Keep an eye on the llamas though because they give a nasty kick if you turn your back on them (speaking from experience) :)
Don't let go of your belongings
Keep a grip on your belongings (sometimes just an eye on it ain't enough). If you're in a bus, tie your daypack around your legs, especially while you sleep. If you're carrying expensive stuff then don't go showing it off to people. No need to tempt a thief.
Fake Cops
As I was walking and minding my way in downtown La Paz, two Bolivians tried to rob me, which looking back looks funny. I was walking from Plaza Murillo towards a museum via Calle Illumani. On route, I met this Bolivian Tourist who was lost and asking for directions. We laughed when I told him I was a tourist. After talking for a few minutes, he continued his search. Then, he stopped to look at an address. It was at this point, as I was catching up to him that a cop with a strange black vest approached us saying he was doing a document search. I knew the Tourist Police was a couple of blocks further and since it sounded like a scam I kept walking and told him to follow me there. He didn't follow me of course, which proved he was a fake cop. Their major mistake was driving away from the scene in their black car. I managed to write down the license plates :). I proceeded to the police station where two Peruvian ladies where filling a report. Apparently they were robbed by the same fake cop an hour earlier and now had no passport as well as being out of $200 US. Ironically, the museum was closed for renovations.

Suffolk County Legislature approved an amendment that will require more disclosure from pet stores and prohibit the sale of animals from proven puppy mills.

When I was 8 years old my older sister read most of Charlotte's Web to me. I say most, because so long after the fact I can't really remember if we finished it together. But I know it was a book we shared, because I can still hear her saying "Some pig," in her twelve year old's voice. It was a special book to me, and still is. Not only because we shared it, but because Charlotte's Web covers so many important themes to a child: belonging, injustice, friendship and love.
Now, as a grown-up, trying my best to keep up with the best that children's literature has to offer, I am pleased to say that Wilbur has found a rightful heir in Ivan the gorilla. Ivan, who is based on a real gorilla, has spent the last 27 years without any other gorillas around. As a silverback, this is very confusing. Ivan knows his job as a silverback is to protect his troop, but with no troop to protect, Ivan is robbed of a central part of his identity. However, when a baby elephant is introduced onto the scene, Ivan finds his purpose, with resonating results.
Simply and elegantly told, The One and Only Ivan is the kind of book that I hope families will share. Kids will like the humor, as well as the unique setting and cast of characters, while adults can relate to Ivan's longing to protect the baby elephant. Bringing together that wide range of ages is no easy feat, and Applegate (who is a Northern California local) does so with fabulous result. And while I could not help but compare Ivan to Charlotte's Web, the title is apt: there is One and Only Ivan.
--Maggie from the office
Usually I write reviews in a sort of "royal-Books-Inc.-we" kind of voice. But this time, I had such a personal reaction to the book that I felt like I owed it to the content to write a personal review. Hi, I'm Maggie, and if you come to the NYMBC events you know me as the rambling, babbling emcee who usually doesn't say the right thing before the authors start being awesome. I run NYMBC because I love YA, and this new novel from John Green is exactly why. I loved The Fault in Our Stars. Sixteen year old me is PISSED that grownup me got to the be the one to read it first.
Rather than explaining what this book is about, I'd rather tell you why it's worth reading. Again and again. And then passing to a friend, and telling strangers to read, and then giving it as a gift to all the cool people you know.
In a genre that is currently pretty light on realism, John Green presents the reader with a story that is so unflinchingly real that it left me bawling. On a plane. On the flight home from New Orleans. With a bunch of hungover people who really didn't care that the crazy lady next to them was bawling. My boyfriend and supplyer of tissues was concerned. "Are you ok?" he asked. And I didn't know what to say.
In the novel, the two main characters are obsessed with a fictional book called An Imperial Ailment. It's so formative for both of them, that they feel as though it predicts the way they feel, that it is somehow speaking only to them. I remember reading Slaughterhouse Five when I was that age and feeling the exact same way. There is, incidentally, a "So it goes" in the narration, much to my delight. What is amazing about this book, is that I imagine it will do for many readers what Slaughterhouse Five did for me, what An Imperial Ailment did for these characters. It will pull back the curtain of consciousness, which can be so isolating, and remind us: You are and you are not alone. Life is cruel and beautiful, and then it is over. I kept thinking of Billy Pilgrim's headstone as I read this book:
Everything was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt.
So go read The Fault in Our Stars. Then share it with someone who matters to you.

Our buddy Paul Crowe over at The Kneeslider (www.thekneeslider.com) has the info V-Max lovers have been waiting for: yes, finally, a photo of the new-for-2009 Yamaha V-Max! It's taken Yamaha quite a while to get to this point, but by our eyes, it was worth the wait!
Although thoroughly updated and complete with an exhaust reminiscent of the vacuum-cleaner design on the first Yamaha Royal Star Warrior, it is obviously a V-Max and nothing else. Motorcycle News (www.motorcyclenews.com) reports an expected standing quarter-mile time of under 10 seconds for the bike, as the giant V-Four engine may be larger than 1,800cc with more than 200 horsepower.
The motorcycle will officially be unveiled on June 4th, so expect more photos and info to be released soon!

Lemon Lime Curd
Made This Recipe? Add Your Photo
Total Time
Prep20 mins
Cook8 mins
This is a different take on the traditional lemon curd which we have enjoyed and our friends. Got it many years ago from a library cookbook but can't recall which one - there have been too many!!
- Shred lemon rind very finely to make 1/4 cup.
- Squeeze juice from lemons and limes to make 1-1/3 cups total.
- In a heavy saucepan combie juices and sugar.
- Stir in eggs, butter and 1/4 cup lemon peel.
- Cook, stirring, over med heat (DO NOT BOIL) until thickened and coats a metal spoon.
- This takes about 8 minutes.
- Will keep in fridge for a month.

Cayman Islands Committed to Building Cruise Pier

We've been to Grand Cayman many times and while we've done all the usual tourist things (stingray city, Hell, scuba diving, snorkeling, shopping, etc.), we always enjoy our stop there. Now, we just hop on the public transportation and head out to 7-mile beach, specifically Caligo Jacks, where we enjoy the beautiful beach, some good food, cold beer, and just relax for the day. Truly an awesome day at a gorgeous beach with white sand and beautiful blue water - doesn't get much better than that.
But to add a couple of obtrusive piers that destroy the God-given reef just to make some extra dollars, is wrong, in my opinion. I have no problem whatsoever of standing in line to board a tender if it'll save the reef. What's a little inconvenience compared to something that can never be replaced?

I Can't Believe People Loved These Movies: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Far From Heaven, Drumline, Road to Perdition, Stuart Little 2, Femme Fatale, Unfaithful.
Best of the Fests: Some of the year's best were not formally released this year, so they don't really count as top 10 picks, but here's a heads-up so you can keep an eye out:
Dark Water, from original Ring director Hideo Nakata, scared me more than anything I've seen since I was a child and more susceptible to such things. Chances are it'll be remade by DreamWorks before you ever see it here, but if you've got a hankering to be cowed into never looking at leaks in the ceiling the same way again, seek it out.
May, soon to be released by Lion's Gate, is ostensibly a horror movie; that I found it more funny and touching may be disturbing in itself. An acerbic look at the shallowness of the dating scene and the trauma it inflicts on a lonely soul who's never taken seriously until she gruesomely forces everyone to pay attention, the movie should be a major calling card for star Angela Bettis (NBC's Carrie), finally shining after years in minor parts.
OT: Our Town looks as low-budget as they come, but its triumphant true story of a South Central L.A. high school production of Thornton Wilder's play was as tense and beautiful as any drama to unfold on our screens. Distribution is likely forthcoming, so maybe you'll get to see it this year.
And now the best, from bottom to top, all of which seem to feature heroes and heroines either mildly insecure or outright self-loathing. Better call my shrink.
10. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones: I know what you're going to say, and I can't entirely disagree with any of the major criticisms leveled against George Lucas' opus. Nonetheless, I also can't dispute the fact that the last 30 minutes or so are some of the greatest ever committed to celluloid (or not, since many "prints" never touched the stuff and remained pixels). From arena battle to Clone War to Yoda whaling on Christopher Lee, this was sheer spectacle as only the movies can deliver, and I'll stack it up against the battle of Helm's Deep any day.
9. 25th Hour: Spike Lee tends to do better when using someone else's script, and together with David Benioff he's created his finest film yet, a meditation on macho bullshit, denial, redemption and wrong paths that extends � allegorically and obviously � to the state of the nation post-9/11.
8. Das Experiment: Moritz Bleibtreu looks like Freddie Prinze Jr., which is off-putting, but unlike Mr. Sarah Michelle Gellar, he can act. A tense thriller about societal roles and their relationship to brutality, Oliver Hirschbiegel's powerful feature debut makes a useful statement in the era of reality TV and PATRIOT acts, and has earned its director a possible slot at making Blade III.

Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 2 weeks ago
Johnson went 2-for-2 with two singles and two walks in the Braves' 6-3 Grapefruit League win over the Marlins on Thursday.
A non-roster invitee to major league camp, Johnson has picked it up of late following a slow start to spring ball, reaching base four times Thursday after hitting a double and a homer in his previous two games. The 33-year-old Johnson is fighting for a bench role alongside Joe Terdoslavich, Zoilo Almonte, Eury Perez and Todd Cunningham, specifically a job as a backup corner outfielder and infielder. Terdoslavich had a team-high 11 strikeouts for the spring entering Friday. Phil Gosselin is already penciled in for a backup infield spot, though he can also play some outfield.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 2 months ago
Johnson agreed to a minor league contract with a spring training invite with the Braves, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Johnson spent 2014 with three different AL East clubs, splitting major league time with the Red Sox, Yankees, and Orioles as he slashed a line of .215/.296/.362 in 106 games. The Braves have some infield depth, and given the 32-year-old's struggles at the major league level over the past few seasons--he hasn't hit above .235 since 2010, he could begin the season in the minors though he'll get the chance to crack the big league roster in the spring.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, according to Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Johnson started the last four games, but he will be held out Saturday with the Orioles starting nine right-handed hitters against Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ. Jonathan Schoop will get the start at second base Saturday, and Alexi Casilla will man the hot corner.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson went 3-for-5 with a home run in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.
Johnson had not started since September 15, and he may have done himself a favor in hopes of making the team's post-season roster. Johnson is battling for an infield spot with Jimmy Paredes and Ryan Flaherty, according to MASN Sports. Johnson has made seven starts in the month of September since joining the Orioles and his .217/.296/.370 slash line on the season is not impressive next to Paredes, who has surged since joining the Orioles in late-August.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 7 months ago
Johnson will make his first start for the Orioles Wednesday, MASN Sports reports.
Johnson will play third base for Baltimore. He figures to split time with Jimmy Paredes and Ryan Flaherty at third base for the remainder of the season. Johnson enters the game with a .212/.290/.354 line while splitting time with the Yankees and Red Sox this season, prior to Saturday's trade to Baltimore.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 7 months ago
Johnson was traded to the Orioles on Saturday, The Baltimore Sun reports.
Johnson was part of a trade that also sent minor league pitcher Michael Almanzar to the Orioles in exchange for Jemile Weeks and Ivan DeJesus Jr. He will presumably take over third base for the Orioles, who recently lost Manny Machado for the season, allowing Chris Davis to move back to first base or DH. Johnson is batting .160 with just one RBI in 25 at-bats in August for the Red Sox.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 8 months ago
Johnson (groin) was activated from the 15-day disabled list Thursday, Alex Speier of WEEI.com reports.
Johnson was acquired by the Red Sox in a trade that sent Stephen Drew to the Yankees. He will take the roster spot of Mookie Betts, who was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday. Johnson's playing time may be limited with his new team, however, as the team already has Will Middlebrooks and Brock Holt at third base and Dustin Pedroia at second.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 8 months ago
Yankees placed INF/OF Kelly Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left groin.
Johnson suffered the injury during Tuesday's win over the Rangers. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined, and even when Johnson returns he faces an uphill battle for playing time following the acquisition of Chase Headley.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 8 months ago
Kelly Johnson will undergo an MRI after leaving Tuesday's game against the Rangers with a groin injury.
It's been a bad 24 hours for Johnson, as the groin ailment was preceded by the Yankees acquiring Chase Headley to take over at third base. The Bombers should have an update on Johnson's condition on Wednesday.
Kelly Johnson 1B/3B ATL 9 months ago
Kelly Johnson smacked his sixth home run of the season in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
Johnson belted his solo shot off opposing starter Miguel Gonzalez in the third inning. He continues to have a rough year at the plate, slashing .215/.302/.387 with six homers and 20 RBI.

Peperomia Damage
I have a Peperomia Golden. I've had it for two years. For the first year, I just watered it, and no new leaves grew. In February, when I started fertilizing my African violets with Dya-Gro, I did the same with my Peperomia and new leaves started growing and it even made this kind of pollen stalk thing (I have no idea what it really was) in the early summer. However, recently (as in, since late August), the new leaves it grew have been small, thin, and twisted rather than large and round.
I attend a university and I didn't want to take all my plants home over Thanksgiving break, so I watered them all relatively heavily, figuring that it would tide them over until I got back from Thanksgiving. The violets survived with no problems, but the small, twisted leaves on the Peperomia had shriveled and I pulled them off. My first year at university the plant belonged to my roommate, and she forgot to bring it home over Christmas break (a 5-week break). It was drooping badly when we came back, but it came right back to life with some water and has obviously continued growing since then.
My question is, since new leaves grow off the old ones, and the little twisted ones were eventually going to become "old ones," have I ruined any chance for the plant to continue growing? Or will it just make new leaves off the normal leaves that were underneath the twisted ones?
I have attached a picture of one of the small leaves. It is brown now, but it was literally that size and shape while it was still alive as well. I have also attached a picture of one of the spaces where the twisted leaf came off.
Hello Sarah,
Your plant is Peperomia Obtusifolia variegata.
The spike you saw was a flower.
Sarah, not sure what you mean, 'new leaves grow off older leaves.' Also, don't know what twisted leaves happen to be.
Please explain..
Don't take this wrong, but when I copied and pasted your first link, I thought it was an old shoe. lol.
Are you asking whether or not new leaves will grow on bare areas, where old leaves once were????
Hopefully someone will chime in. I know if the stems are trimmed new leaves form. Good luck, Toni
On your plant, you should expect new leaves to form only at new nodes, which are the point where the leaf is attached to the stem. If a leaf dies or is mechanically removed, a branch will normally appear from just above the leaf bundle scar (where the leaf was attached to the stem). This new branch will continue to grow new leaves until it is terminated (growing tip removed), or until the plant receives a chemical message that growing leaves in a particular special position is no longer in the best interest of the plant. One example of 'no longer in the best interest' would be if the branch has become shaded by growth originating higher on the plant.
In short: leaves will grow off the stem. If you remove a leaf, it sets the stage for a branch to grow just above (distal to) where the leaf occurred. If you terminate the branch by removing the growing tip (apical meristem), a change in hormonal balance occurs and branching will be stimulated behind the pruning cut. How far back along the stem the influence takes effect depends on a number of factors - where the plant is in its growth cycle, light conditions, how much reserve energy the plant has, how robustly it is/isn't growing at the time of pruning, others ....
So, as long as your plant remains viable, it can be rescued from its plight & made into something appealing to the eye.

Shots of the New Tecmo Bowl for the DS 29

That was the live action portion. I remember in college we'd get drunk and have Tecmo Bowl tourneys.I don't remember any "getting drunk in the parking lot" sequence in Tecmo bowl.
Right franchise, wrong game. Tecmo Super Bowl is the 2nd game in the series. Tecmo Bowl [wikipedia.org] is the first, which I believe this is a remake of.
I stand corrected (happily). [slashdot.org] This does seem to be a remake of Tecmo Super Bowl [wikipedia.org]. I guess I'll be stopping at the local game store to pre-order it tonight!
This was the best football game ever.
Eh. I was a fan of Tecmo Super Bowl. This looks like it's a remake of the original Tecmo Bowl, which was good, but only had limited teams and stats and stuff. I'm waiting for TSB so I can run Barry Sanders up and down the field a few times, watch people bounce of Christian Okeyea(sp? the FB from the Chiefs), and block extra points with LT.
I hope this game does well so they release the Super Bowl version. *fingers crossed*

NASA Achieves Data Goals For Mars Rover With Open Source Software 35
from the open-curiosity dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It's about the web hosting system that lets casual visitors look at the pretty pictures
Functions which are important to the project.
AWS seems like the real key to the success here, not the use of open source software. While I think it's great that NASA took the open source route, I've read nothing to defend the position that this would not have been successful with non-open source software:
"A traditional, proprietary approach would not have been this successful, given the short time to deployment and shifting requirements that necessitated the ultimate in agility and flexibility."
Even the article praises AWS more than the open source software mentioned, it's main source of content appears to come from the linked article [devopsangle.com] with information about the open source pieces of the stack added.
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.

Welp, time to pull this one out again.
Character » Spider-Man appears in 10743 issues.
Reason why I ain't mad
1) It's a story with peter parker
2) Mark Waid is writing it
3) Exploring theme of peter's family is hardly touched on
this. i have no problem with another parker.
It could be just like when they introduced Peter's parents, so she might be a robot impostor!
First darthfury's thread in regards to Spider-Man's female relationship, and now this.....
We all know that Parker never had another sibling. He is the lone child.
First darthfury's thread in regards to Spider-Man's female relationship, and now this.....
We all know that Parker never had another sibling. He is the lone child.chnica
yeah obviously
though /technically/ Kaine and Ben are his siblings.
I'm pretty sure this is an elseworlds type of story.
@kostisfire: nope, they said it's in canon in the interview
@saiyan_earthling: Mark Waid says different
I'm in!.....i'm just confuced about the "before ASM 700 events" thing....(?)
I am optimistic,Waid,the artist of SM:WoS....(Peter!)....a graphic novel!.....hope its good!
But i understand....Sister and no word from Ghost Pete,Aunt Maynor anyone else,they've got a lot of explaining to do.
Perhaps Peteys dad (Richard) was a sperm donor. Or had a relationship with some broad before he met Mary. Or maybe Richard cheated on Mary (Pffft, of course not. I might actually like that one, though.)
This one might be a hit or miss for me. We`ll see.
he finds her and she dies
I'm quite excited!....
Peter,Waid,Pete's sis....totally ok!
The one thing that bugs me is the "continuity" aspect,like in AU.
ok so wait he's supposed to have this sister that May or even Ben never spoke about. his parents kinda died thanks to the red skull and during this time she was where. how does she know she's a parker and what the hell is this. i mean ain't this a bit like how Dani phantom came to in DP. some random event happens and boom new cousin. hell wouldn't have been easier just to put her as a distant relative on ben's side since we never hear about his side at all. ever. well not ever but i know more about may's side than his
I personally don't care about this. JUST BRING BACK PETER PARKER
Some information from the SDCC Superior Spider-man Panel
James Robinson announced that he's working on a graphic novel, Family Business, with Mark Waid and artist Gabriel Del'Otto, which introduces the character of Peter Parker's sister. It's a spy story. Wacker indicated that the story will fit in to continuity. Family Business is the second of Marvel's original graphic novel series, following Avengers: Endless Wartime, by Warren Ellis and Mike McKone.
The more they mess up the sooner Peter will be back. On the bright side it is a story without Ock.
It doesn't seem too bad. It might make an interesting new angle. Still better than having to endure Otto.

Looks very nice, feels nice, everything i expected
I bought this product looking for a good sturdy toilet seat that would hold up and last a good while. I received the seat in a timely manner, so no problem there. The seat looked great in my bathroom! I was soooo happy to receive it, made my toilet look like a new tiolet . Then three days after installing the seat it just fell apart the screws ripped out of the wood it totally fell apart!
Paint was chipped exposing wood and bolts are plastic causing seat to shift when sat upon.
It works...and reflex a little hunter green in color.
We are redoing our bathroom in a Victorian style, and this seat seemed (online) to be suitable for our design ideas. Turns out not only is it just right for our plans, but very well made. The fittings were secure and it was an easy installation. We used this with a Toto toilet (not elongated) for our bathroom renovation. Very happy with this purchase; it may seem silly but it was an important tie-in for all our design elements in the new bathroom.
I bought a black toilet for my bathroom remodel and this item looks great on it.
Fell apart within a few days. A complete waste of money, and the cost would have indicated that the product should have been good quality. It was Not.

checked in by agent as our ship hadnt arrivd. the alleyways are smelly and no proper security. rooms are big and clean. breakfast served is not upto standard. atleast eggs to be served. no wifi signal in the rooms located on the rear side.
So the stay was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, the coffee was fresh, the room was cozy, the ambiance was perfect, but I can't wait until the new renovations are complete!
Also the indoor pool looks amazing and compliments the arcade room (didn't have time to fit in swimming), just ask for the ping pong paddles at the front desk.
Had a great stay here at ABVI. I'm always taking trips to Corpus Christi and from the last time I stayed at ABVI they have improved. A lot of renovation is happening and they're definitely doing an amazing job at it. My boyfriend and I love staying here. We sincerely recommend this hotel. :-)
ASHLEY was awesome and friendly. She was very accommodating and so nice. Keep her! Room was clean. Owners are in process of a renovation to start we were told. Should start in January. Our room was good except for a couple of hiccups. Only one wash cloth. We are a couple. Should have been two wash cloths. The housekeeping dept...
This hotel has recently changed ownership and is in the process of making many improvements. The rooms are clean. The pool is both indoors and outdoors. The restaurant serves good food and saves one the time usually needed to find a restaurant somewhere near the hotel. Give them time and this hotel will improve.
My husband has made the reservation with Travelodge for he had stayed here before. When we got there from our 5 hour drive awe found out it was ABVI. We for checked in for I had Value members card which was nice. They pool is indoor/outdoor which was wonderful. Have a workout area, breakfast and tennis courts which I thought...
We had a great time. Are rooms were clean,had a clean smell, and the beds were nice. The staff was wonderful, helpful, and wanting to make our stay comfortable. The pool was nice, the fitness room was well kept up, the breakfast was a lot of variety. We would stay hear again.
The hotels on the beach were booked, for our spontaneous trip. We accidentally found this location. Glad we did, although the building was older the bedding, carpet and towels were very clean and like new! The staff demonstrated great customer service, from the front desk, to the House keeping. Great value, and family friendly!
This hotel, looked very bad on the outside. Inside, it was ok just outdated. The front desk staff was really nice, and checked me in very quickly. She even answered and took care of my charge questions I believe, we will see when the statement comes, as I belive they took a extra two dollars. The room was very nice,...
We pre booked this hotel for a week family vacation. Upon arrival we waited at least 35 min to be checked in being looked over by the lady. Took another 15-20in to find our room the lady was no help telling us where to go. Our room was AWFUL! The smell was so bad the beds were hard as could...

Which drill bits to use?
Does anyone know which drill bits are better to drill through steel; titanium or cobalt?
Need something hard that wont burn up and can be resharpened. My DH is drilling a hole 11/16 dia. Thanks.
Cobalt and a suitable lubricant are fine.
Any lubricant is better than nothing, but one labeled for taping is better.
If you ony have a few holes use high speed steel and throw the bit away when you are done (or save it for drywall/plaster/abrasive use).
I just drilled over a dozen 1 inch holes in 3/8 steel plate
using a bi-metal hole saw and plenty of cutting oil.
I used a drill press at 240 RPM. Slower would have been better.
I got the bit at Lowes for about $10.
One Inch Bi-Metal Hole Saw at Lowes.
I got these bits at Harbor Freight.
They work well too if you step up the hole sizes and use plenty of oil.
I stepped 1/4 to 1/2 to 7/8 with plenty of cutting oil.
Pooh Bear
Thanks all for the suggestions. DH did get a drill press to use and will try drilling the holes at a slower rpm and with more oil. We're making "rejas", iron gates for the doors and grills for the windows, on our spanish colonial style adobe house here in the andes mountains of Peru and DH has tons of holes to drill. Something like 300 just for our house and that many more for our guest house. Some friends are coming to visit from the U.S. in a few weeks so we're going to have them bring a drill sharpener with them as well as some good carbide bits which we can't find here.
