NY's a very sexy city


Rubbish. If a man is tired of London, he can always go to New York (ladies you're not excluded, this means you too).

Actually, it especially means you. In the space of a week in New York, I had more men approach me than anytime before in my life!

New Yorkers are known for being obnoxious, sullen and cold to visitors but don't let this put you off, because it simply isn't true. The immigration guard at JFK airport was charming. I even think he was flirting a little bit.

I'd never visited New York before, but every street looked familiar as I drove in a yellow cab towards my Manhattan hotel.

I'd seen them so many times in the movies, in posters, adverts and read about them in books that to actually be there in person was a little overwhelming.

It was genuinely exciting and I felt a spark of holiday magic as I looked up at all the glittering lights; the kind that you can't pay for on a rollercoaster.

I arrived at the Holiday Inn, 57th Street, between 9th and 10th Avenue, just around the corner from the theatre district and was greeted by a flurry of welcomes as I stepped through the door - "Hello! Wow, look at you, welcome to New York, which room are you in? That's an amazing room! I was just telling Shirley here about the bar I was in this afternoon, but that's a different story. You're just adorable, pull my moustache, that curl is natural and I never use wax! When you've unpacked come down to the bar and I'll buy you a drink."

This, by the way, was Joe the general manager, who took it upon himself to treat every new arrival like New York royalty. Talk about friendly. Can you imagine receiving the same reception at The Holiday Inn at the Pear Tree roundabout? I think not.

With so much to do, and so many things to see, it's tough to know where to start in a city like this. The Empire State? The Statue of Liberty?

Bah! I'd come to this city with a single aim in mind; to worship at the doorstep of She who represents single ladies, fashionistas, great girl friends, shoe obsessives, and all women everywhere who have had one or three relationship mishaps before: Miss Carrie Bradshaw. There is an easy way to follow in the footsteps of those fabulous New York women Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha and that is to take the three hour Sex and the City bus tour around Manhattan.

Along with 30 other women, a gay couple, and three defiant looking boyfriends, I piled into a bus outside the gorgeous and very glamourous Waldorf Astoria hotel next to Central Park.

How to travel carbon light

We should all be concerned with Global Warming and each do what we can to reduce the amount of CO2 released into our atmosphere. There are three steps you can use to lower your impact while traveling; using carbon offsets for travel to your destination, choosing carbon light accommodations, and paying attention to how you move about your destination.

Air Travel Carbon Offsets

It is difficult to get around the emissions that the airplane produces while shuttling you to your destination. Currently the best option is for you to purchase a carbon offset. There are numerous non profit organizations that use the money from your carbon offset donation to aid in the development of sustainable energy sources such as wind power or solar electric generation. Other carbon offset programs plant trees to soak up the carbon produced during your flight. Carbon offsets are not that expensive either. A carbon offset calculated on Carbonfund.org for a roundtrip flight from San Francisco to Paris would be only $11. Of course carbon offset can also be used for any travel mode that produces carbon emission be it by car, train, or ship.

Accommodation

A potentially less polluting lodging option to consider is a vacation apartment or home. When you stay in a vacation rental you are in control of the energy use - just as you are in your own home. Hotels use a tremendous amount of energy for heat, air conditioning, daily linen changes, and all the other services they offer. Your vacation rental will not be consuming huge amounts of electricity 24/7 365 days a year as the hotel does. You can conscientiously limit the amount energy you use by turning off the heating or Air conditioning while you are out visiting the sights. You can use the linens and towels just as you do at home.

Travel to Spain


Thinking about traveling to Spain? Spain - located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula - continues to be one of the most popular tourist attractions and vacation spots just as much today as it has always been in the past. Maybe you're wondering about where to visit in Spain... Maybe you want to learn more about its history and experience its tremendous influence in European art... Whatever your reasons for wanting to visit are, you're certainly bound to enjoy the rich culture, customs, and history of this country once you've arrived there.

As you can imagine, the architecture of Barcelona, the Holy Monstreat, and the Toledo cathedral make this a popular coordinate. And because this is such a hot travel spot, you're advised to make your airline reservations, hotel reservations, and car rental preparations early - three to four months in advance as a matter of fact - especially when tourism is likely to be high (summer months, holidays, etc.). If you prefer to travel "off-season," - that is, during a time when tourism is low, you may not need to make such early reservations. In the latter case, one month-advanced preparation may suffice.

After you've made your reservations, you can fulfill the rest of your time preparing for everything that Spain has to offer. One of the ways that you can do that is by taking a local trip to your favorite library and perusing the immense number of books about Spain. By doing this, you can prepare yourself with the language - perhaps even check out a few books or audio tapes of the language (if available) and additionally learn about Spain's monetary system.

You should always learn about entry requirements, inoculations and other safety information you might need before you go not only to Spain - but also just about anywhere out of the country. But you can also familiarize yourself with the dress of the land and maybe try a few local restaurants that serve Spanish cuisine and play a little of its native music. Of course you can always visit your museum and inquire about the art of the land so that you'll know what to look for once you get there - in particular, the works of El Greco. The idea here is to educate yourself amid all the excitement of visiting a place so rich in culture!

Now some people like spontaneity - a little adventure - the unknown - whatever you want to call it, but some of us like to create an itinerary of things to do and places to go. If you're the "planning type," then you might appreciate taking the time to map out your excursion. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that - seeing that you're visiting a new area, your chances of being bored or going against spontaneity are very slim because Spain has so much to offer to each one of your physical senses!
