Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Holidays Resources - Plan Fun Activities for Family

By Nicole Mendari

It's so easy to get caught up in the preparations for the holidays. Shopping, baking, cooking, packaging, cleaning and chauffeuring to children around the world who need to go. As you make your list of things to do, be sure to include some fun activities that include their friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. After all, the camaraderie and the fellowship is a big part of the holiday season, so make sure you spend some quality time with the fun of it means to most of you.

Caroling Christmas is a fun way to include not only those who already know, but a great way to break the ice and meet new people and neighbors. Print up some letters, grasping a stereo portable music Christmas, and the tour of his neighborhood singing Christmas carols. It does not matter if you are not the best singer. People of all ages will enjoy this ancient tradition brought to the modern holiday season. If you do not feel comfortable caroling in neighborhoods or in the homes you are familiar with, consider having a mobile caroling bus to the homes of people you know Carol. Take a bucket of candy canes or Christmas sweets leave the house when it comes out. You might also consider caroling on behalf of a favorite charity. Build a cube or secure donation table clearly shows the name and address of the organization that is helping. Some people may not feel comfortable donating to you personally, and that is fine.

Somewhere in the pre-printed pieces of paper with the organization's name, address and phone number along with a brief statement on what they do, and we encourage them to make a donation directly.

Ice skating is another great activity to do with friends and family. Not only does it promote get some exercise, but it's a great way to spend time outside to enjoy the cool winter air if you live in the right climate. If you do not, most cities have local rinks. Check their calendar in advance and send invitations to several family members or friends and make an afternoon of it.

Consider encouraging your friends and relatives to join in a tour of volunteers to help a local nursing home or shelter home this holiday season. You can sing carols with the residents of the nursing home, or help dish out hot soup bowls and pass out blankets for those in need. If you know a family in need this holiday season, perhaps their friends and relatives could put together a holiday gift basket and fill a laundry basket of food, baked goods, and treats and small gifts for Christmas children of the family. It is a good way to teach children the importance of reward their community and help those who are less fortunate then themselves.

Remember the reason for the season, and spend some time with your friends and family, and maybe even help out others in the process. Have a great holiday!
