Haunted Vacations
by: Shari Hearn
I see Dead People.” Admittedly one of the best movie lines
ever spoken. From “Ghostbusters” to “Ghost” to “The Sixth Sense” Hollywood has had a fascination with the world beyond the living. But, why let Hollywood have all fun? Perhaps on your next vacation, you’d like to try your own hand at ghost hunting.
There’s not enough space in one article to list all the supposedly haunted sites in America. Therefore, I’m just going to acquaint you
with a few of these other-worldly destinations. First up, Moundsville, West Virginia. Don’t know why, but West Virginia has more than its share of hauntings and ghost tours. One such tour occurs at the West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia, one of the bloodiest prisons in America. The tour starts at 8:00 P.M. and lasts an hour. But, it doesn’t end there. From 9:00 P.M. until 6:00 the next morning, you’re free to explore the prison under the guidance of a paranormal investigator, or, if you’re the really brave type, by yourself. Alone. With no one but the spirits to keep you company. This tour is available March through November. Yes, that’s right, you can even go on Halloween - if you dare. The number to call for eservations is 304-845-6200.

Pros And Cons Of Traveling Cheap To India
by: Dana Goldberg
For a long time, India has been one of the premier destinations for traveling. With rich culture and magnificence, it would offer you many places to see. And going there to experience the place would not cost you so much especially when you decide to travel cheap. But traveling cheap has its own cost. Here are the pros and cons when you decide to travel cheap to India:
Pros
1. When you are India, luxury is not always wise. That is why when you travel cheap you don’t need to wear extravagant clothing. You don’t need to invest on your clothing for a visit in the country. Simple clothes are enough for you to survive India. Be mindful of the culture. Make sure you respect it by wearing discreet clothing.
2. When you travel cheap to India, you can eat anywhere you can. Prices are relatively low in this country. Aside from this, you can try the real local taste of foods without spending much.

Travel On A Bargain!
by: Dana Goldberg
Travel is one of many working people’s ultimate getaway. Imagine a few days of luxury & comfort on some exotic beach resort, waking to the lulling sound of waves & the feel of soft breeze gently caressing your face. Imagine looking out of your cabin window & seeing a vast expanse of endless white sand, dotted with seashells & the occasional seaweed. Imagine having breakfast of the freshest fruits right at your bed & being as far away from the noise of urban living as you can be. Imagine being thousands of miles away from your annoying boss & away from the incessant beeping & ringing of the little contraptions that have kept you on a short leash for how long now.
Now, doesn’t that sound absolutely delicious?! You have just pictured yourself having a yummy bite of a slice of heaven!
So what’s stopping you from just packing up your things & flying away to any of the many exotic destinations around the world?! Oh, right — the expensive cost that you just cannot afford to pay for right now especially with the new car & house mortgage already on your belt is keeping you from having your dream vacation.

Prince Edward Island The Smallest
by: Ashton Billesberger
Prince Edward Island is the smallest province that I am going to be writing about which is situated in the gulf of saint Lawrence north of Nova Scotia , east of new Brunswick. The capital city is Charlottetown also being the largest city in the province with the population of 137,900 people spread out on 5,660 km². Of land mass.
The provincial economy is dominated by the seasonal industries of tourism, fishery, and agriculture. The province is extremely limited in terms of natural resources such as minerals, oil, diamonds, although there may be undetermined quantities of natural gas beneath the eastern end of the province. PEI’s Agriculture remains the dominant industry in the provincial economy; potatoes have replaced mixed farming during the 20th century to become the leading cash crop - accounting for one-third of provincial farm income. The province currently accounts for a third of Canada’s total potato production, producing approximately 1300 million kg annually. Tourism eclipsed the fishery in the latter half of the 20th century with over a million visitors entering the province each year to use beaches, golf courses, and visit local attractions and events. The high season is during the summer months of July and August, although increased travel by American visitors during September and Oct!

How To Travel With Your Pet
by: Mary Williams
It is unavoidable that you have to visit your friends or relative in urgent without much time for planning. But your only problem seems to be how you have to do you’re your pet. You can either leave it at your home or bring him with you. Traveling with your pet is easier than you think.
You can bring your pet with you by using air travel services. These services fall into two categories, in-cabin and cargo. In-cabin pets must be small enough to fit into a carrier that will slide under the seat in front of you. Pets too large to fit comfortably in a carrier must travel in cargo. Cargo holds are heated, cooled and pressurized, just like the passenger compartment.
It is better for you to check first before you make a reservation, be sure the airline will accommodate your pet. Some airlines do not take pet in-cabin; some discount airlines don’t accept pets at all. So if you purchase your airline tickets through the Internet, make sure your pet will be able to travel with you.
