Five Fun Family Activities During the Travel
When we travel with our family it
has its own perks. We Indians have the strong emotional and moral
support from our families and family values are passed from
generation to generations. We may whine about restrictions at some
point, we may sulk about the unavoidable functions that we have to
attend no matter how important our plans with friends must be at the
end of the day it is our family because of which we can strong and
move on confidently with our lives, come what may challenges appear
or the crisis situations we have a family to stand by us and we can
sleep peacefully in the night.
So when it comes to travel with a
family many advantages are hidden here. Bonding develops more than
before, we get to know the different new places in a secured
atmosphere of family and so and so.
So how can we make our family trips
more interesting??
Let it be a short trip somewhere or
a long tour with relatives tagging along with you some games and
activities together will always encourage the spirit of travelling.
Old school games
Old school games like
dog in the bone sort of games that we played during our school time
can be played bringing back the childhood memories to cherish and
going back to your childhood era.

This is fun game which
we can play while sitting in the car while moving along the road. It
is a game to be played as in participants should guess the state and
district code of the car passing by , those who guessed wrong is out
of the game and the game is continued till the last participant
survives.
Uno
It is one of the famous
card game enjoyed among all the age group. Each card has a different
no. and colors and some cards have the special benefits. That who
can’t finish all the cards till the end of the game is lost.

I spy
I spy is a game where
one is supposed to give the hints of a thing or the place which we
are passing by along with the hints those who will guess the answer
right with minimum clues wins the game.
Dumsharaz
A
famous Indian game played very often and enjoyed to the core. People
are divided into teams and a name of the movie is given to any one of
the participant from the either of the team and he is supposed to do
give his team clues while acting according to the name of the movie
is given.
There
are lots of cards games involved here which we can play and enjoy
with our family then housie also. If we are going on an outdoor
location and spending quiet a good time there we can do kite flying
too and badminton as well as antakshri of songs or names or cities.
A
travel with family can be made more memorable by doing some fun
activities together rather than being lost in tabs or smart phones
which have already ruined our family time in daily life. One can
think of many games on his own to enhance this family trip spirit by
introducing games on his own.

Backpacking Tips
 |
| image courtesy:www.sputhindiavacations.com |
The term backpacking is
being popular with us, Indians since some years. The term backpacking
means independent traveling with minimum cost, staying with basic
comforts and priorities are set in this trip totally what you need to
do in this trip.
In backpacking one is
interested in whole journey itself rather than just hitting the
destinations from tourist point of view. The journey may be the
simple camping trip in a forest area for two-three days or it may be
the long tour consisting of hotel bookings and roaming in public
transport. I am saying here public transport because it needs low
cost and safe too.
Backpacking includes a
heavy bag which can be carried on the back which includes many
utility things that we need in the trip. In backpacking trips it is
advisable to carry your own things as well as the safety majors but
also we shouldn't overdo it by carrying extra loads.
This backpacking trip
can teach you a lot of things. We can get connected with nature more
here and we can relax and free our mind from stress that has become
inevitable part of our lives.
It can teach you to be
confident when you travel like this and can make you realize the
worth of spending and giving the time to own self.
There are backpacker
groups also which can guide us with directions and hotel or lodge
bookings and their experience can definitely is more useful to us.
These days backpacking
trips have become easier than before because of the increased
resources and the help groups which have formed to help each other
through sharing their experiences and guiding us. GPS, Smartphone,
steatite phones (in case of emergency) have eased up the situations.
If we are going for a
long duration backpacking trip we should book our lodge or hotel
bookings in advance which will be less time consuming and if we are
booking a quiet earlier we can grab some additional discount. And it
is all time fail proof thing to book our shelter in advance so that
in crisis situations we have our planned place to stay back, it will
save the stress factor here.
These trips are mostly
concerned with where there is adventure involved as in trekking trip
or a rafting and camping combination weekend surf. Adventure is the
spirit of these backpacking trips.
Easy, low cost,
adventurous, exciting these trips may sound but we need a proper
planning of such a trips. If it is well planned and executed
accordingly without falling for distractions coming along the way
backpack trips can be the most memorable trips of your life.
Here is the list of
some important things that we get to include in our bags while on
backpacking trips.
- Survival kit
It is the best product
any backpacker can buy which has everything that we need in an
emergency situation to survive. It includes compass, sugar pouches,
tea bags, soup packets, whistles, fire starter etc.
Now these following
things are optional if you are going for camping or trekking where
you prefer to stay on your own
- Sleeping bags
- Yoga mat
- 2 tents
- Small gas cylinder
Essential list is as
follows
- Multi-utility Swiss knife
- Bottle
- Matchbox
- Lighter
- Torch
- Blankets
- Plastic cups
- Local maps
- Jackets
- Mountain boots (if we are going on a hilly area)
These
small stuff look like are not important among the list but if we
forget to carry them we get to know the worth of it
- Hand sanitizers
- Pepper spray
- Mouthwash
- First aid kit
- Soap strips
- Mosquito repellant
- Snow glares/ sunglasses
- Umbrella

One
should always do their research about the places we are planning to
go to for backpacking trips and take help of the experienced ones if
they have been to the same place before.
So
pack your bags, plan your trip cleverly and neatly, take safety
majors into consideration and Get Set Go for backpack trip these
holidays.
Make
the difference, try something new.

When You Travel with the Baby
The most joyous moment in young couple’s life is the arrival of a baby. Lots and lots of preparations and arrangements are done for that phase. Routines are changed, priorities are changed and somehow your the sense of responsibilities is increased by cent percent, one got to be a parent to understand when it comes to being protective about your baby.
Parenthood is the
challenging and tiring at a times. When we get tired from office
work, we have weekends to chill, after fulfilling your career years
there is retirement era where we are freed from busy schedules and
workloads till then sufficient amount is earned, spent, invested and
utilized but parenthood is something which you cannot turn your back
to or plan retirement for that job. The compromises, happiness,
teaching and learning complete the whole equation of the marriage.
It is assumed and right
to some extent, that traveling when you have a baby is tedious job.
It is heck of circus platform where you have to enjoy the journey,
wish to see the places where you have gone at the same time
maintaining your baby’s naps, mealtimes, hygiene and so and so.
Well in our India, one cannot be happily traveling in a public
transport with the baby because of the overcrowded scenes,
uncomfortable for baby hence inconvenient to parents since baby will
be crying and crying and cribbing and so they have to face annoyed,
angry looks by co passengers. Hygiene issues are obviously there too!
So what can be done to
make the journey with the baby comfortable and enjoyable? First of
all lets vote for the need to travel even though you are having a
baby.. I mean is it really worth it to think a lot and cancel the
travel plans since you have had a baby? After some years it’s a
kid’s preprimary school which cannot be missed and that’s why we
can’t go traveling, then school and classes routine which shouldn’t
be missed to sustain in the rat race of success.. The reasons and
problems will always show up when you get out of your comfort zone.
The point is are you ready to take a step forward and make a
difference against the mainstream? Yeah, I guess so, that we can.
Where there is will
there is way, and so if we plan perfectly our journey with the entire
considered possibilities journey with a baby can be the most
memorable trip of your life.
Rent a Car:
As we said the problem with the public transport like buses or trains for short distances is a questionable option, better go with the hire cars. You can travel at the speed you desire, no disturbance when the baby is sleeping, you can stop the cab whenever you want and of course you can take car seat for the baby. It’s a chair which is portable you don’t have to hold all the time; once the chair is fixed in the car you can enjoy your ride happily. You don’t need to hold the baby all the time.

Carry on with Rash Cream :
One of the other things that you got to take care of is rash creams. Temperature and humidity conditions at different places plus the travelling may cause some rashes so as a precaution we must carry some rash creams with the consult of your pediatrician.
Bring plastic bag set of Diapers:
Diapers, wipes and the plastic bags one shouldn’t forget. It’s better to carry own plastic bags because the time will be saved of buying them at each required places.
Blankets. No mother
would forget her baby’s favorite blanket in traveling. But let it
be a short trip or a long one spare blankets should be packed too in
baby’s bags as a spare, and for baby’s hygiene.
Feeding Utensils and Accessories:
Baby’s bowls and utensils like spoon, bottles are important too, and which nobody can forget while traveling with a baby.Toys/ Music videos :
At the same time, one should definitely pack your baby’s favorite toys, you never know when and why baby can get cranky and the feel of her favorite toys may give her homely impact and calm. Even if baby doesn’t get cranky, we must carry 2-3 small toys; don’t we need our favorite book to read while traveling or favorite songs in mp3 player? Then let’s be fair with babies too!
It is definitely not
that impossible or hard to travel with the baby. Book all of your
traveling modes as in airplane tickets or booking of the cab which
nowadays can be done online also. And they offer a great variety in
the packages, your hotel rooms and you can give the idea to the
hotels too that you will be travelling with the baby.
So don’t waste your
time in thinking how can I travel now I have a baby or let’s wait
till baby gets older a bit… because that waiting list of years will
just go on and time won’t stop for us.

Travel Tips,
Airport car rental
We all love traveling and those exceptional people who don’t, they either traveled with the wrong company who get bored or they simply didn't plan it well. But obviously this is my opinion but all I can come up with the generalized reason is this only...
We all strive for excellence then let it be simply cooking which started from just heating up and cooking well meat or fruits or vegetables in prehistoric times to now well garnishing methods, making it a five or seven course cuisine meal or let that be being just happy when people used to get just hired in a govt. offices to now where as attending all sort of performance enhancing conferences and being competitive enough for salary raise or better job options ahead. World is changing and so are we; those who don't change and adapt these changes are left behind just what Darwin has stated so in his theory of survival for the fittest for animals in his study of evolution. Our traveling concepts have changed also as with the time, aren't we striving excellence here also by planning it near to perfect so as to cover maximum places to visit in given time and making it more and more comfortable and safer at the same time?
Airlines have provided their services in affordable range for every class and we are using the maximum benefit of that. Traveling by air is often very less time consuming and with leisure. We can utilize the time we take out for traveling in visiting as many places as we can. But what about transportation from airports?? When we sit and plan about our family vacations or business tours or if we are planning the corporate business tour we have to think and plan taking into consideration the minute details. Well I won’t say transportation from airports is a minute detail since airports are generally located at quiet a far distance from the main city.

We can get the cab from airport also but then it might be time consuming to do on the spot without proper knowledge of what other options might be and there are chances that you can get fooled about the rates. These days’ car rental services are doing amazing job by providing us the facility to book a car online. For an example, clear car rental pvt ltd.
They have available in 210+ cities in India. We can book our car which we want by choosing from various options that they give and book it online. Even if we have to cancel our booking by some reason we can do the cancellation free. Their service is in budget and any traveler ranging from ordinary to global corporate travelers. We can book a cab in advance online and a cab will come to pick you up on a scheduled time.
Now why airport car hire services??? Major reason is rental price which airport facilities offer are usually high since they will be adding extra charges and different costs and its always better to compare the options available and decide thoughtfully. But from my side, vote goes to airport car rental services. The extra points for airport car rental services because we can book the car that we want as our cab for pick up and drop service in advance, specially to CCR pvt. Ltd. I can confidently say so about clearrental since we have experienced its service in Mumbai.
So let’s fly away with more experience and knowledge about traveling mediums.
Bon voyage!!!!
Ciao soon with more updates..

10 things you are always going to miss when you do not travel and explore the world around
Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Roman philosopher of 4th century B.C said -
“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.”
He was so correct to acknowledge the benefit the human mind can get by under taking travel.
There are many amongst who like to explore the world by travelling and also many who do not like to travel. This post is for those who don’t and need a push to do so.
Here are 10 things you are going to miss if you do not travel –
1) Opportunity to shed away your fears
When we plan and actually undertake travel we take a step towards becoming more courageous by going into the unknown. When we look back at our life we tend to remember only those moments where we faced uncertainty and yet reached our goals.
2) Developing an attitude of gratitude
When we travel places during our journey we may come across fellow humans who are struggling to live and are suffering. As an example if you visit Jammu and Kashmir you will see civilians in the state of constant fear because of militancy. This changes us to thank the almighty for giving us everything we needed and stop cribbing about the trivial things.
3) Self discovery
When we plunge into the unknown we tend talk to ourselves more on what we are going to face ahead. This helps us to understand ourselves better. We come to know our inhibitions, strengths, weaknesses which is not possible when are a part of the fast paced world before we are undertake travel.
4) Changing your habits for better
Frequent travel in long run will tend to make us more flexible the way we look at things and do things. Travel many a times will force us to change emotionally and physically because unless we do that we are not going to reach our destination. This will in turn help us to embrace change easily when we get back to our worldly routine.
5) Relaxation
Travel helps us to break out of our mundane daily routines and helps us to recharge our batteries. This makes us feel relaxed, more invigorated to take on new challenges with renewed enthusiasm.
6) Reconnecting deeply with people you love
This will hold true if you are undertaking travel with your loved ones, family members or even friends. Travel helps get you rid of daily intrusions you may face during your daily routines which will provide you an opportunity to connect & converse deeply with people who really matter to you. Nothing else more is important in life than spending quality time with people who matter to you and you love.
7) Memories for lifetime
As we move from present to future the only things we have left with us to live the past once again are the memories. When we travel we will always have some or other memories worth cherishing, stories to tell others.
8) Enhanced creativity
Many times in life we wish of being more creative in whatever we do at work or in personal lives. Creative juices start flowing only when an individual is relaxed. When we travel we have the opportunity to relax by breaking free from daily clutter and there is a good enough possibility of we finding creative solutions which are needed to resolve challenges we may face at work or personal lives.
9) Increased self esteem
Have you ever undertaken a difficult trek or scaled a difficult mountain? How does it feel then?
Travel helps to improve our self esteem because it gives us a sense of accomplishment. We become more positive and start believing that develop a ‘can do’ attitude.
10) Experience cultures and make new relationships
Travel exposes us to new people, customs and cultures. There is a good enough possibility of we making new friends. Experience is the greatest teacher of all. We can learn about places, people, cultures and customs tones more than by being at a place in real than reading about it.
Travel does not always necessarily mean that one has to travel every time to distant lands but to reach out places where you can, with the time and money you may have at your disposal. The important thing is to move out of your home and explore the world and you are bound to feel a sense of achievement and satisfaction once you complete your travel.
To end here is a quote by Lao Tzu – “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and explore the beautiful world around you.
If you are an avid traveler share with us which more travel benefits would you like to add to this list?
