An early start was needed for a visit to the island of Capri. We walked into Sorrento and boarded the hydrofoil for a 45 minute journey across to the famous island. During the crossing we were approached by a guide offering to show us 'where all the rich people live'on Capri. But for us, this wasn't the draw of our destination so we politely declined and made our own way on arrival.

Capri harbour (Marina Grande) was a bustling place, with a vast selection of tours available. We bypassed these in favour of our own, unguided exploration of the island. A cable car ride from the harbor allows visitors to scale the soaring hillside up to the town of Capri itself. On seeing the queue for this service, we decided on a walk. Now this walk was definitely not for the fainthearted. Some of the inclines between the houses nestled upon the hill are, shall we just say, steep! But the view as we looked back over the rippling blue bay is breathtaking.

Bangaram Island Resort- Experience the charm of the unexplored and intriguingВ В  by Rose

The first thing I noticed on our cruise to Yasawa was the rising sun shining through the porthole. It was projected onto the cabin wall, a reddish ball of fire, shimmering, and seemingly growing larger by the minute. So calm was the sea that it appeared virtually stationary but then moved slightly as our cruise ship moved on the sea. Suddenly there was the rattle of the anchor. We had arrived in Manunggila bay off one of the remotest of the islands in the Yasawa group.

This tropical paradise in the South Pacific, near to the equator, is part of the Fijian group. The customs and culture in Fiji, to the east, are Polynesian but this village is home to 140 Melanesians, the only occupants of this remote island.

We were spoiled right off the bat by cruising several small islands in Fiji, visiting remote Fijian villages, swimming, snorkeling and playing in some of the most beautiful azure waters in the world. We spent our first night in Fiji at the beautiful Westin Hotel located right on the beach. Our room, on the first floor, had a gorgeous view of the South Pacific Ocean through our sliding glass doors.

This is an ideal time for North Americans to take a trip to Fiji for that reasonably priced holiday, wedding ceremony or romantic getaway. There is an assortment of airlines flying to Fiji making it easy to reach. Fiji is one of the main travel hubs in the vast expanse of ocean, which means that overall travel in Fiji is both efficient and comfortable.

Sometimes you want to get away for a family vacation to the beach. A bright and busy boardwalk; cotton candy vendors; and lots of loud children screaming with delight as the waves crash down on them.

And sometimes, you want nothing of the sort. That's when your thoughts turn to peaceful sunsets over the water; fine dining in high style; luxurious rooms to pamper and cocoon yourself; and quiet moonlight strolls on the beach. The question of course, is where to find such a resort.

Since the Twenties, America's privileged classes have headed to the Cloister at Sea Island for a beach vacation in the grand tradition. Following an extraordinary three-year renovation the Cloister has reopened as one of the finest resort hotels in the US, preserving the exquisite architectural detail for which it is famed and updating its amenities to the highest level of luxury.

Day trips to Couran Cove Island Resort should come with a warning! Perhaps something simple like an Oliver Twist Clause - "Please sir, I want MORE!" One day at this resort on South Stradbroke Island is simply not enough.

Families with children can enjoy this resort, just as much as couples of any age looking for a quiet retreat or romantic getaway.

Day tripping to Couran Cove Island Resort is an option - particularly if you are are short on time, but has limited availability depending upon how busy the resort is.

There is, however, no doubt that staying on the island is the best option to really take advantage of all that this incredible resort has to offer.

The Great Smoky Mountains receive their title through the all-pervasive fog which soars across the intensely wooded mountains. The Smoky Mountains are located in Tennessee and North Carolina. These particular mountains really are a back country nirvana, with possibilities for any selection of sporting and fun-based activities. Backpacking is a wonderful way to get within the hills to investigate and observe wild animals and wild birds along with the amazing mountain panoramas. Should you be in the beginning stages as a walker and look at yourself as an "amateur", there are several incredible hiking trails which help bring you securely to the hillsides as you develop your ability.

Bream fishing in Australia is becoming huge, from its humble statue the bream is fast becoming an iconic fish in Australia. The bream fishing I am talking about is known as bream spinning as it is done using lures only, on light 2 to 4 kilo graphite rods with spin reels.

The explosion in this style of fishing has lead to a very healthy tournament scene not unlike the American bass fishing scene.Employing nearly an identical format to that of the US bass scene. Anglers are paired together on a boat and are allowed 7 hours to go out and catch 5 bream, they are then brought back to a weigh master, who weighs the five fish together and the angler with the heaviest bag of bream wins the tournament.

For the time of your life, follow the dotted lines...

Before we go any further, let's get something right out in the open. From Thanksgiving Day to Valentines Day, the rich waters surrounding the islands of the Bahamas hold more trophy wahoo than anywhere else on the globe. It's for this reason so many who appreciate these mysterious fish, end the year crossing the Gulf Stream to take full advantage of the most prolific high-speed trolling found anywhere on any chart.

This late in the year, crossing the 'Stream can prove a bit precarious when faced with uncooperative tropical winter weather, but I promise you getting bounced around for a few hours will be well worth the reward. That is, if you savor coming face to face with one of the fastest and most aggressive killing machines in all the world's oceans. Over hear on the other side, we're talking ten to twenty fish days with respectable wahoo averaging 20 to 40 pounds, not to mention the possibility of monsters twice that size a real possibility.

If you have never gone bass fishing or in fact been fishing at all in a long time, you should think about participating in a bass fishing competition and give way to your aggressive spirit.

If you want to be recognized in your fishing skills and maybe win money by way of the prize you should take part in a bass fishing challenge. It is not difficult to find a fishing area that has a lot of bass fish in it and where such a tournament in being held. If you find this interesting you could participate in the competition.

For any angler, a contest is a way to challenge his skills and to know his own capabilities as far as bass fishing is concerned. So keep abreast of bass fishing competitions in you area and join up with them. This is sure to give you a lot of thrills and the recognition that you deserve with your skills.

Bass fishing tournaments can be very fun and great for kids too. I have been fishing in bass tournaments with my son fro the last 5 years and we have had a great time. This article will talk about the advantages of joining a local bass club and entering some tournaments with your kids.

The greatest day of my life...

I will never forget the experience of seeing my 13 year old boy fighting a 4 pound large mouth bass in our first bass tournament. We finished in last place that day, but in my eyes we won 1st place and have had many million dollar experiences since that time on lake together.

So, what does it take to get started in competitive bass tournaments?

There are tournaments for all types of fishing, especially for the species that are most popular among anglers, which is why you'll find plenty of walleye fishing tournaments, especially in the northern United States and in Canada. Especially in Ontario, where there are infinite locations to fish for walleye, you'll find a number of tournaments in which to participate. Don't worry if you don't get in on one of the big ones; there are plenty of smaller tournaments where you can get your feet wet as a newcomer or amateur that may even be better as a starting point, with fewer competitors equaling a better chance at one of the small prizes.

A large amount of these walleye fishing tournaments take place in Northwestern Ontario. For example, on Rainy River in Emo, Ontario, you'll find the Emo Walleye Classic, taking place usually in late May. This is a catch and release tournament that offers somewhere in the neighborhood of $36,000 in prizes. Around the same time, you can visit Red Lake and partake of or simply observe a very special tournament. The Angler & Young Angler Walleye Fishing Tournament targets those under the age of 18 who enjoy fishing and aspire to become competitive anglers. This gives them a chance to work with friends and family to compete in a real tournament that can give them experience for the future. Other sessions are held toward the beginning of July at Wabigoon Lake near Dryden and at the Lake of the Woods in the Kenora area in mid August, allowing youths an additional opportunity to participate in walleye fishing tournaments.

Despite representing less than 0.5% of the area of Africa, it is home to nearly 20% of the continent's flora.

Think about it - how can you exploit flavours uniquely to catch more fish? These unusual answers will surprise you and will describe the kinds of unique details that do not necessarily make bait companies any money; but they will definitely open your mind and empower you to catch more fish!

We can all catch more fish by exploiting flavours but flavours are such an incredibly diverse array of substances and they are certainly not just limited to concentrated or natural flavours, essential oils or nature identical flavour components. I was asked this by someone the other day because he had been using a Rod Hutchinson mango flavour in his homemade baits and found that he caught a 5 to one ratio of mirror carp compared to common carp in his lake in spite of there being 5 times more common carp in his lake.

Carp Fishing Books That Seriously Improve Your Big Fish Catches!В В  by Tim Richardson

If you are like most anglers or even parents of anglers, then around your thought are on fishing and presents. But what to buy? What will have the greatest impact on the satisfaction and enjoyment and actual fishing results of a person? Education is the answer, but real life experiences are the most exciting and informative when put down in words; so read on now!

Fishing is like a drug; as in the more fishing you do, the more you want to go fishing. It is like a growing need for more and more. This feeling can be surprisingly strong whether you are in a stage of great success or consistent failure. In fishing you know that time is on your side and that eventually, given enough learning, refinement and practice you will achieve all your goals. But to actually achieve your goals you need material that motivates you!

Keeping a clean and organized home is not difficult. It does however require a fair amount of commitment and consistency. A dirty home if left to fester soon becomes very difficult to clean. Before long you aren't inviting friends over and at the end of a long day you are starting to dread the journey home.

Cleaning can test even the most enthusiastic amongst us, yet it is necessary for mental and physical health. However there are a few basic rules that can make the chore of cleaning one that is more easily attainable.

Get home organized

First cleaning relies on organization. A tidy home is easier to clean. Often we will turn away from cleaning due to the fact that we have clutter lying around. If you want a clean home you need to declutter on a regular basis.

In the present times when the air we breathe in has become so heavily populated with contaminants, it is imperative to make use of advanced air cleaning systems. Air is in fact indispensable for our survival but it is unfortunate that it has no more remained as pure and clean as it used to be in the past. Due to malpractices, industrialization and a number of other factors, the air available to us needs to be purified or it will become a cause of a number of ailments.

Inhaling populated air only gives way to several diseases. It is extremely detrimental for health as it is loaded with a number of particles and contaminants which can harm your body in a number of ways. Advanced air purification is thus essential as it makes sure that the air is free of all contaminants which mar your health or cause other breathing difficulties.

Three common plants for indoor use include Dracaena (Dracaena fragrans), Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum clevelandii). Choosing the right plant for an indoor space can enhance your air quality and indoor decor.

Dracaena (Dracaena fragrans): These plants are indoor-hardy and require low maintenance. Dracaena can be placed near indirect lighting, but make sure it gets enough sunlight for normal growth rate. The plants should have healthy foliage, firm trunks, and an established root system. The trunk shouldn't be wilted or covered with brown foliage. Dracaena's should be watered regularly and any excess sitting water should be drained and discarded. Too much water will cause the stems to become softer and possibly rot. Plants need minimal maintenance and should be dusted occasionally.

Few people take into consideration the benefits of air cleaning plants and instead opt for expensive humidifiers and air purifiers. Filter replacements, upkeep and the electricity to operate these machines can be costly. Cleaning these machines is time-consuming. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, all plant life is known to provide the air required for breathing and to keep it clean. Why not take advantage of this natural air purifier and humidifier indoors?

Children in schools, families in their homes and employees in an office building can all benefit from air cleaning plants. If a lot of time is spent indoors, chemicals are inhaled constantly and a lot of people are completely unaware. Those suffering from chemical sensitivity may be unknowingly exposing themselves to multiple chemicals that may cause a variety of ailments. This is especially true for contractors and their employees handling insulation and building materials on a daily basis. Because of this, NASA paired up with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America to find out exactly how effective some common houseplants are at purifying the air indoors.
