Cruising has become a popular vacation choice because it allows passengers to visit interesting and exotic ports of the world while they are also enjoying on-board activities and comforts. Every year, the world’s fleet of over 220 cruise ships carries about 10 million passengers to ports around the globe.


One of the best destinations for cruising today is Europe. Historically, Europe has been a great destination for a vacation. Such is the beauty of the place; it captivates anybody who sees it. The coast line of Europe is very large and peaceful. There are many brilliant and famous ports along this coastline.

UK Warns Pregnant Women to Stay Away from Florida for Fear of Zika

Florida, a state that thrives on tourism, is on the receiving end of a warning by the British government that pregnant English women, or those who are planning to have families, ought to stay away because of the threat of the Zika virus. The warning, as reported by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) comes on the heels of the discovery by Miami-Dade County health officials of the first reported Zika cases in the U.S. where infected persons had contracted the mosquito-transmitted illness locally and not from when they were traveling abroad.
In most cases, those infected with Zika have no symptoms. However, pregnant women can pass the infection on to their infants, sometimes causing microcephaly, a severe birth defect that leaves babies with smaller-than-normal heads and brains. Florida officials reported on July 29, 2016 they had found 4 cases that had occurred locally in the state.
To read the BBC’s complete article on the UK’s travel warning, follow the link below:

The U.S. government does not expect major outbreaks in America, but does anticipate clusters of the disease from local infection.

My Motor Boat Training course


I love motor boats. Well since last summer that my friend invited me to his beach house I really got into motor boats.  I realized I needed a Motor Boat Training course because boat can be very complicated to handle. There are safety procedures that I really don’t know. 
I am thinking about buying a motor boat after the Motor Boat Training course I took. 
I had planned to go to Spain for holidays.  Lucky me we have a travel agency and we have packages combining a Motor Boat Training course. 
The instructor were Spanish but their English was very good indeed. I registered for a basic learner course.  The course included some theory classes but I really didn’t want to lose time going to classes in sunny Spain.

I emailed the academy and they told me I could take an online course before. All I had to do was to watch some videos, take notes and then sit an online exam. The problem was solved.
When I arrived with my girlfriend they offered some wind sport  activities for her while I was doing the course.  It was fantastic because I was a little worried about what she was going to do while I was in the course. 
These academies are also boat charters. When I finished the first day I hired a boat with an instructor to go deep in the sea. The journey was so relaxing and peaceful that my girlfriend loved it.  The best part is that I got to practice everything that I had learned in the morning. It was like a practical session. My instructor was kind enough to keep talking to me about tips and safety procedures.

Boating is a very expensive sport but there are many companies offering courses. Some of them issue a certificate at the end of the course. Their trainer are officially certified and trained. Of course this academies charge more for their courses. 
I really didn’t need a certificate because I do it for fun.  So I hired a Spanish local company that didn’t offer a certificate. You could tell the instructor new a lot and they had been in the sea for years.

I totally recommend combining your training course with holidays. That way it won’t be as expensive as taking separate dates and you won’t even feel you are studying something. Spanish beaches are the best I totally suggest you go there.

Med Cruises

Who doesn’t dream about taking a vacation and going to the Mediterranean to enrich themselves with all that culture available? Visit Paris and go to the Eiffel Tower, drink some wine and have some of the finest cheese. Sightsee at Egypt and be face to face with those enormous and fantastic pyramids. Try out the best and original pizzas in Italy and shop couture clothes. Or perhaps just admire the beautiful architecture of Morocco. All this is possible if you choose to go on a cruise in the Mediterranean. If you are already in Europe, you can’t miss out on the opportunity of enjoying a wonderful trip on a cruise for a few days. If you take a few minutes and search on the Internet, you’ll realize it won’t be as expensive as you might think.
There is an association called Med Cruise. They are also known as Mediterranean Cruise and they are an Association of Mediterranean Cruise Ports. Their main objective is to promote tourism in this area because the culture of Mediterranean countries is rich and varied. Some countries that you can find here are Spain, France, Italy, Monaco, Turkey, Egypt and Morocco. Other Med Cruise objectives include promoting and improving relationships among all ports worldwide, as well as offering marketing options and many job positions that result in professional and technology development.
Perhaps you are wondering why it is so important to promote cruises in this area, and it is because Mediterranean countries are so full of culture, diversity of people, and of course history. Furthermore, most ports are located in places where cruise passengers can easily go to one place to another to shop, sightsee, and just enjoy the different options each country they visit has to offer. It is also important to highlight the fact that, because of the diversity of this area, you can peek into many different sides of the countries located there. You could enjoy some of the European culture by visiting Italy, France and Spain; or perhaps learn more about Middle East countries such as Egypt, Israel, Lebanon and Turkey; and even enjoy the tropical weather and exotic nature of African countries like Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
Most cruises will allow you to visit the above mentioned countries by blocks. Usually, the itinerary will take you through countries in one same block. This means that you will only visit countries located in one specific area, for example, one cruise will take you to a few countries located in Europe or perhaps Africa. This will also depend on departure location and the duration of the whole trip. For instance, you could probably visit one or two countries from different blocks.
So, if you live in the Mediterranean or you are on vacation there, you can’t miss the opportunity to visit all these countries. Their location is ideal, so going from one country to another is not too difficult. And what other best option could you try but going on a Mediterranean Cruise? This is an experience that you will definitely remember forever.
