It’s Time for a Family Vacation….Don’t let another year pass
you by without taking a Family Vacation !

Many People are quick to come up with excuses why they
shouldn’t take a Family Vacation each year.
Don’t allow yourself to become one of those people.

Family Vacations are not just an idea to lower your bank
account….Family Vacations are beneficial in a lot of different
ways. Here are 5 reasons why you should plan a Family Vacation
each and every year.

~You DESERVE it ! That is the number one reason for taking a
Family Vacation. Give yourself the permission to take the time
off of work and have some fun with your family. Statistics show
that giving yourself a break and getting away from your job for
some fun can actually increase your productivity when you
return. You will feel better about yourself and have a fresh
mind

~Strengthening Your Family Bond….this is without a doubt a
very important reason for taking a Family Vacation. Isn’t that
why you work hard in the first place, so you can be
a good provider and a good role model for your children. Taking
time off to play and enjoy life with your children can teach
your children a very important lesson…..They Learn how to
Enjoy Life !

~Time Flies When Your Having Fun ! Although we don’t want life
to pass us by so quickly, we must treasure every moment we have
with our children. Before you know it your children
will be grown and gone. Think about all the memories you will
be making on your Family Vacations. Your children will take
these memories along with them on their life’s journey.
Building memories while you have the opportunity
is another very important reason for taking a Family Vacation.

~Priceless….That’s what Family Vacations Are! The time you
spend together as a family is priceless. Don’t let money be an
issue or an excuse. There are so many Family Vacation Spots
that fit into everyone’s budget. Every vacation doesn’t have to
be a High Dollar Event. Save up for the Big vacations and plan
some less expensive ones in the years between, but Never
deny yourself or your family an annual vacation.

~Lastly, We all want our children to perform well in school and
enjoy learning… Family Vacations , while being a lot of fun
can also be educational. The world is an open book there is
so much to explore, so why not explore it with your family.

As you read through these reasons, I hope you will always
remember to plan for your Family Vacations each year. .The
last thing you want later in life is regretting that you never
took the time to spend with your family and that you never
helped build those lasting memories

Happy Planning !

Wyoming

Posted by admin

Wyoming, the forty-fourth state of the U.S, is located in the Rocky Mountain section of the western United States. It is flanked by Montana in the north, South Dakota and Nebraska in the east, Colorado and Utah in the south, and Utah, Idaho and Montana in the west. Wyoming is one of three states, which is completely bounded by straight lines. It is the ninth largest state of the U.S. Wyoming is spread over 97,914 square miles and has 23 counties. The state is a great plateau broken by numerous mountain ranges and rivers. Wyoming has the second highest mean elevation in the United States, which gives it a relatively cool climate. It rains or snows occasionally. Cheyenne is the capital of Wyoming. Wyoming was heavily populated with nomadic tribes known as the Plains Indians. They were the Arapaho, Arikara, Bannock, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Crow, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, Nez Perce, Sheep Eater, Sioux, Shoshone and Ute tribes. The Indian tribes were later controlled and placed on reservations.

Historically, agriculture has been important to Wyoming’s economy even though its importance has begun to wane recently. The main agricultural commodities produced in Wyoming include livestock (beef), hay, sugar beets, grain (wheat and barley), and wool. The state has deposits of coal, natural gas, coal bed methane, crude oil, and trona. Wyoming ranks highest in mining employment in the U.S. It has a varied wildlife, which consists of pronghorn antelope, elk, moose, bear, coyotes, bobcats, cottontails, jackrabbit, rocky mountain bighorn sheep and other such animals. It also has a large variety of birds like sage grouse, pheasants, duck, goose, swan, partridge, turkey and many more. It has 22 species of game fish.

Wyoming has many nicknames like Big Wyoming, Equality State, and Cowboy State. Wyoming is known as the “Equality State” because of the rights women have traditionally enjoyed here. Women of Wyoming were the first in the nation to vote, serve on juries and hold public office. The state of Wyoming was admitted to the union on July 10, 1890.

Tipping in New Zealand

Posted by admin

Minimum wages in New Zealand are $10.25 an hour for a worker over 18 and $8.20 for under 18, so they are not dependent on tips to subsidize their income, as is the case in the United States.

Most New Zealanders would not like tipping to become the normal procedure. This could factor into your wages when negotiating for a job.
With a non-tipping society it also gives a better feeling when you have finished your transaction. You do not feel guilty about leaving the right tip, and do not feel like being held captive at a restaurant or cafe until the tip is paid.

One of the more common New Zealand tipping practices in New Zealand is to round up taxi fares to the nearest couple of dollars.
Restaurants, hotels or bars do charge an extra service charge on public holidays around 10%-20%. This is now a common public holiday levy.
If you get great service feel free to leave a tip, $5 would be a good tip and a nice way of saying thanks for going out of your way. It will be much appreciated, it is not expected.
Do not feel “cheap” if you don’t leave a tip, think “when in Rome”.
