Surf Fishing the Outer Banks of North Carolina
My first experience surf fishing was with my father on
Wrightsville Beach, NC in the 60's. He parked our shiny black
Ford Fairlane in a gravel parking lot off the beach and we hiked
over the dunes to the surf, carrying rods, buckets, tackle box
and various other fishing paraphernalia. I remember him catching
bluefish, croakers, puppy drum and flounder as I played in the
tidal pools nearby. Later, my grandmother would fry the filleted
fish to a golden brown and we would eat them with ...

Fuerteventura - a beach lover's paradise

large areas of the island are protected parks. Visit
Fuerteventura and you are stepping back to the way Spain was
perhaps 30 years ago - no high rise buildings and a relaxed and
gentle way of life, clean streets and beaches.

Time Your Trip Around Currency Fluctuations - The Cheap Way to
Finding a cheap vacation spot abroad can be virtually impossible
- everything seems more expensive these days, and vacations are
no exception. So how do you find a bargain? One way is to plan

your home country's currency.

Reunion Island: Where Fire Meets the Sea
Unlike Madagascar, where there is a profusion of indigenous wildlife, the island gem of La Reunion, its neighbour to the south-west, has very few; one of these is the spectacular Panther chameleon, a mini-kaleidescope-coloured monster which can grow to a length of 50 cms. Lying on the crossroads between Asia and Africa, fluorescent rivers of molten lava occasionally spew out of the earth's crust and plunge into the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean, searing everything in their path.

Virtual Walks of Europe - A Unique Travel Experience
In June of 1999, Kathi and I took a Globus tour of Italy - their
"Italian Mosaic." Before leaving for the trip, I borrowed a
Steadicam Jr. from a good friend in Los Angeles who is a film
editor. I wanted to use it with my home video camera to shoot
better quality home movies while on this "once in a lifetime"
trip. The Steadicam Jr stabilizes the camera and completely
eliminates any shaking.
The 21-day (with two extensions) trip was absolutely wonderful!
The group of about 25 people on the tour ...

5 Beach Vacation Tips
Ponder over the thought that how solitary and incomplete the
moon would look without the twinkling stars that add to its
charm...how odd would the eyes deprived of tender eyelashes and
thick eyebrows appear! Nature creates things differently but
they are seen to assist and complement each other in some way or
the other. The very natural phenomenon holds good in case of our
dressing and grooming. Our shoes, hat, bags etc. are in
consonance with our outfit. If not much but the least that can
