Oil industry trips on spiralling power rates
With tariffs likely to rise further, cogeneration plants could be the answer

Just after getting settled in, I found a postcard in my mailbox from the Portland Office of Transportation.

In India, the exchange rate is 28 cents for each rupee. That's why travel to China is expected to go up almost 13 and a half percent.Trips to India could jump 13 percent, but ultimately travelers fear the dollar's poor performance internationally will force people to think twice."I think in the long run, once they reevaluate it, they're still gonna want to travel cause the benefits outweigh the costs," said Rogers.Even with the higher exchange rates, travel to Europe will go up this summer where Americans are expected to pay just under six percent more for anything they purchase.

The impact of higher gas prices (with diesel at $4.15 I've seen locally)
are being felt by RV campgrounds and resorts."Campers are not
venturing as far or as wide as they might have," said Linda Profaizer,
president of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds."They're
definitely staying closer to home," she said. As prices are expected to
inch up over $4 a gallon for gas, and over $5 for diesel this summer, it
will continue to have more of an impact as RVers and vacationers change
their travel plans. Read

Today I arranged to meet my Mum at Bluewater for a shopping excursion. I decided that I had better be off early to fill up the car's tank as I had heard various rumours about impending strikes by petrol workers in a refinery in Scotland, panic buying, rising prices at the pumps (more than usual) and petrol shortages. Sure enough, the first garage I came to had a queue back onto the road and the
When interviewed for Instant Native recently I was asked for a travel tip and I admit my first impulse was to draw on the usual suggestions travel writers make like 'travel light', 'select your seats ahead of departure' and 'email the hotel with an ETA to ensure the champagne's on ice' (that last one's is mine). They're things I forget to do, am too busy to do, or simply can't do (I'm sorry, but
With the price of gas expected to go over four dollars a gallon this summer many travelers are planning on staying put. Californians have a distinct advantage because they live in a state with so many different regions. Within a days drive you can find mountains, deserts, beaches and world class amusement parks. Many travelers plan on spending their vacation time at home and taking short day trips. Money saved on expensive lodging can be used for gas and dining. Combat the high gas prices by taking local trips and visiting one of California's distinct regions. Summer 2008 can still be fun, even with four dollar a gallon gas.

Factroy Butte is, simply put, a dirt bikers paradise.

"Blue Lake", actually called Cove Lake has been a Barlow favorite for quite some time. At 9,411 ft in elevation it's a good place to escape the summer heat. The Arapeen atv trail in the area is smooth and winds through the trees with an occassional opportunity to catch some air on the bumps. The fishing is usually fair, although this time I think Mike caught the only fish left in the lake. Duck

For extended trips, we now have a new office for the road, a Glendale
Titanium fifth wheel. After extensively researching we chose this model
due to being lightweight, aerodynamic (note the cone shape in front that
fits over the cab of our truck when traveling), insulated for weather
and sound, roomy (ours has two slideouts), and our F250 being able to
easily pull it. Made in Canada, the Glendale Titanium is highly sought
after for the above features. For those that travel a lot or are
fulltime RVers, fifth wheels are the way to go. This makes our third
fifth wheel owned. The other two were Travel Supremes, which are also
quality made. Years ago we toured their factory in Indiana and watched

Car Trips with Kids - Taking a long car trip with your children can be a trying experience. Parents have all heard the question "Are we there yet?" or the words "I have to go to the bathroom" five minutes after they have just past the last bathroom for miles. For parents with more than one child, it can sound like professional wrestling in the backseat. As boredom is the main cause of the whining and complaining that the children are doing, the secret to surviving a long car trip with the kids is to come prepared with numerous activities and toys to help keep the little ones busy.

Gas prices have reached a record high, but due to higher domestic airfares and, in some areas, curtailed flights, motorists aren’t expected to shy away from hitting the road this summer.
Slightly more drivers than last year are expected to jump in their cars from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends, the American Automobile Association reports.
One of the best autos to handle the road? The Honda CR-V. It has 36 inches of cargo space, the roomiest among its closest contenders in the compact SUV category. That’s key for travelers who want ample space to load luggage, golf clubs and coolers.

Ethan's school fieldtrip was not the usual school fieldtrip. Theirs was a trip to Bonifacio High Street to observe the making of a Kripsy Kreme donut. The kids were toured inside the mixing, batching, frying then decorating part. There were vats of really yummy choco dips and sprinklers. The kids were allowed to get a donut or two then decorate.After the donut-making-tour, the kids were then brought over at Fully Booked for a special story-telling session. It was a fun fun story telling time for the kids rattled the story teller with their quite outrageous but smart questions.Time has changed.

Joe Douglas, who earlier in the month set a record for riding Universal Studios Revenge of the Mummy dark ride/roller coaster, has broken his 101 trip record. Demolished it actually. 132 trips.
Joe posted an update in my earlier blog posting that the wait times were only around 5 minutes all day.
Universal should take advantage or Joe’s fandom and issue a press release about his accomplishment. Even better, they could work out a day with Joe where he is able to ride consecutively w/o getting off except for a needed break (bathroom, stretch, etc.) By cutting out the time Joe would spend in the queue- either walking or waiting, Joe should be able to eclipse the 132 number. During a slow day, this would have little impact on the park visitors. If Joe is alone, they could fill the rest of his row with others. This could be easy publicity. Especially if they do it now. Universal is trying to do more for Christmas and this would be yet another opportunity for them t

This year, I will not be in waist deep powder at Keystone during the 36 hour weekend. Actually, nobody will be in waist deep powder. Unless of course there is some miraculous BIG DUMP! I'm not complaining, so please do not take it that way. Just giving you the facts. I am being patient, as I am sure many of you are. Keep on praying to the snow gods and our wish of a monstrous season will arrive! If you have plans to ski this season and there's not enough snow, just be like Corn Muncher and postpone your trip as opposed to cancelling. Have a great day!Watch the latest videos on RippinSkiers.com You Tube Video playerhttp://rippinskiers.com/rippinskiers@earthlink.net
There are options of adding accessories and high technology devices to the car. These can spice up the look and increase your driving pleasure. Many drivers put accessories on their cars to enhance and convenience and ride of their sports car.
Road trips can sometimes be boring if you always on the same route and no longer enjoy the sights. It would make the trip more enjoyable if you had an entertainment system that would provide diversion and help keep the driver alert while driving. Here are some recommended accessories that can bring both enjoyment and convenience to a drivers ride on the road in their sports car:
1. The GPS or Global positioning System can be installed as a route guide for the road. This high tech device has built in maps of the United States and Canada. It contains specific details and information for more than 2,000,000 destinations. It will help the drivers find points of interest, their destination, the nearest gasoline station or even a bank for cash w
Do you know that one of the best ways to save money on vacations or holiday trips is through incentive trips rewarded by companies ? I was lucky to have been rewarded two incentive trips to China and Australia during my employment.
I agree that employees tend to go all out to hit the targets set by companies. Incentive trips do motivate employees to work harder before they are rewarded. They

Revelations add to pressure for Nord's resignationActing Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman Nancy Nord is under more pressure today in the wake of revelations that industries regulated by her agency have paid for her travel.The Washington Post reports Nord has traveled to China and other destinations with various industries picking up the tab.According to the report, both Nord and her predecessor, Hal Stratton, took dozens of trips paid for by the toy, appliance and children's furniture industries and others they regulate. The Post cited internal CPSC documents it said showed the connections.The records reportedly show that Stratton, and then Nord, made nearly 30 trips since 2002 that were at least partially paid by trade associations or manufacturers. In some cases, the Post reports, some industries paying for travel – such as the toy industry – have been involved in huge recalls of dangerous products.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/11

The Associated Press is reporting some embarrassing news about Dentsu, Japan’s largest advertising agency. Steve Biegel, a former executive of Dentsu’s U.S. branch, is suing the company because CEO Toyo Shigeta forced Biegel into awkward, sexually charged situations: Shigeta took them to a brothel, leaving Biegel, who is married, offended and humiliated that he had been forced or duped into going there, the lawsuit said. It said Shigeta later demanded they participate in prostitution and became angry when they did not, accusing them of being “no fun.” The lawsuit said Shigeta later told them that having sex with prostitutes was a proper style of conducting business and commemorating business dealings. According to the lawsuit, Biegel, of Woodbury, N.Y., was “horrified, offended and humiliated by this sexually debasing experience of being forced to attend a brothel imposed on him as a condition of his employment.” On another business trip to Tokyo in October 2

Several new trips have been planned and posted for November and December. There are new people in each of these areas and this will give them the opportunity to meet brethren on the Sabbath and some will be able to be baptized.
With everyone and their dog booking trips online these days the landscape has become exceptionally crowded. It is now almost as much trouble to find the right online booking tool for your needs as it is used to be to find the right travel agent.
I have decided to test out a few of the more popular services and see if there is any real difference in the prices they offer.
Today we will look at Travelocity. Travelocity describes their business as this:
Travelocity is a leading provider of consumer-direct travel services for the leisure and business traveler. It markets and distributes travel-related products and services directly to individuals through Travelocity and its various brand Web sites and contact centers, and Web sites owned by its supplier and distribution partners. Travelocity customers can access offerings, pricing information about airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines, vacation and last-minute travel packages, and other travel-related services.

Andrew travels from time to time with his job and at first it wasn't too pleasant but I've figured out how to make it nearly a vacation. Not quite, but nearly.1. Sleep when you want to sleep. This means I stay up late (for me that's 11 pm), get up late (maybe as late at 7:15!) or even--as I did this morning--get up at 5 am to blog. Andrew's always been a morning person so we go to bed early and get up early but if he's gone I'm treating myself to the wildly hedonistic practice of staying up to watch the 10 o'clock news.2. Eat what you want to eat. For me, this is all about the mushrooms. And the quiche. Gotta have quiche when I'm eating alone. Oh wait, I'm not eating alone--I've got four children with me at the table. No wonder it's so noisy.3. Sleep where you want to sleep. I can sleep on my side of the bed or on his side or smack in the middle, who's going to stop me? In fact, I think I've settled on the best way of it all--sleeping on my side but only foldi
My trips to Hanoi and Jakarta next week were cancelled, very last minute.It was just yesterday that my boss told me to cancel them. Tickets were already issued so we will have to pay for a 'penalty' fee to airline. But the cost would be minimal compared to the total amount that the whole trip would take.I was supposed to have a stressful trip next week. Original plan was to fly to Hanoi on Monday, conduct workshop on Tuesday, fly from Hanoi to KL and with 1h15min to transit to Jakarta. A very short time that can be easily screwed up if Hanoi-KL sector is delayed even slightly. If miss the flight to Jakarta I'd miss the last flight out.But all worries no longer a concern, coz I'm not going anywhere for the rest of this year!Why? Because we have just realized we blown our travel budget! When I tried to get the latest finance figure, I found out that the budget that we're working on, is entirely different from what finance has. The truth is, we've been using a wrong budget n
"A week", mused Harold Wilson, "is a long time in politics". A week ago, Gordon Brown had the Conservatives on the back foot. They were attempting to react to the threat of an early election, a threat that never materialised. Brown was playing low politics and putting them in disarray. Cameron's conference speech was well received, but doubts remained over his substance and Prime Ministerial quality. Labour were ahead in the polls and there was talk of a hundred seat majority.A week later, Brown looks like a brooding opportunist. He chewed over the tough meat of an early election for too long, leaving the nation frustrated at his political games. The Conservatives seemed up for an election, baiting Brown into dissolving Parliament. Instead of ending the speculation, Brown allowed it to continue, hoping it would continue to damage the Opposition. However, even before he ruled out an election, the Conservatives were chasing him in the polls.Brown's plan backfired. His attempt to sit ba
I’ve been to New Delhi 3 times in 4 years. All the 3 times, the flights were bumpy, all the way from Kuala Lumpur to New Delhi.Yes, ALL THE WAY. Turbulence all the time.In my first trip, I was 7 months pregnant. The seatbelt sign was switched on all the time. I need to pee, but was advised to sit down, until I couldn’t hole it any more. Hey! 5.5 hours, how to hold???In my second and the last trips, the seatbelt sign was switched on 70% of the time. Drinks are hard to be kept on the table without spilling.If we take statistics, it is 100% bumpy. Caution: small sample of n=3. :P
Gas House Pike, New Market, MD*** I didn't post yesterday and thought about skipping today, too. Why hesitate? After I wrote about online jigsaw puzzles, JigZone featured my puzzle on their site and that led to 2000 visitors yesterday and 500 so far this morning. Yikes. The problem is the site linked to my main page and not the puzzle post itself. So, do I move the puzzle post down or do I leave it on top for awhile? I decided to wait a day and do a new post today with this note. If you were sent here by JigZone, my puzzle is the next post down. To all my visitors, welcome to Rambling Traveler!Back to our regular scheduled program...Lately, I've been sharing several pictures of fall colors taken during past road trips. Doing some research into the topic, I found an MSNBC article about where to find the best fall color. The article is two years old, but most of the links are still useful and I found several new places I'd like to visit in the fall. Here are my favorites:"
By: Peter WilsonHiking can be a great experience, but you will want to prepare before you take off, especially if you are a beginner hiker. Though not always the case, hiking is not like traditional vacations which require preparation in terms of locating your accommodation, finding a beach front vacation rental or other details such holidays entail. Hiking requires preparation related to fitness and essential items specific to hiking. Of course, you want to make sure you have achieved general fitness as hiking requires endurance and strength. Once you have achieved a basic fitness level in preparation for your hike, a few specialized activities specifically related to hiking that can help you prepare even more. Though not essential, walking barefoot around the yard or house can help toughen the soles of your feet. Yes, you will be wearing hiking boots and quality socks but it isnt a bad idea to have something under your socks that is tougher than soft, tender skin. Benzoin is a specia
I’ve noticed that some artists choose to live and work in one place, rarely leaving the confines of ‘home’. Others take journeys in their hometown, or to foreign lands. Others travel inside their own body or create virtual journeys through sound. Some artists even make travel an integral part of their work and life.
This got me thinking about different ways people — all of us — “travel” day after day, week after week, year after year. Sometimes we travel without meaning to; sometimes we travel and go nowhere; sometimes the journey takes us to unexpected places. Here are the stories of a few different artists, all working on the many different meanings of “travel”.
The Art of travel: The world from a new angle

There are journeys you make every day: to get to work, to pick up the kids from school, to run errands. It’s a form of travel that quickly becomes mundane through repetition and familiarity. Yet
Hello once again!There is surely a moment in your life whereby you are clearing your leave from work or experiencing a long break due to the merging of public holiday and a weekend at the same time.What I suggest is that perhaps you can take a short break with Dialaflight worldwide city breaks to cities such as New York,Montreal to the exotic ones such as Hong Kong,Singapore,Kuala Lumpur and
Everyday Daddy phoned me from his office a few weeks ago with some news none of us were thrilled to hear. A rare business trip was in the works and he’d be leaving for a three day trip to LA. My heart sank, Johnny’s heart sank and Daddy’s heart sank for the three of us are a very close little family. We truly do everything together. I know that some people even choose to vacation apart from their children, but that is something we could never do. Now the trip which has been looming on the horizon is clearly in view. Everyday Daddy leaves this morning.
The preparation alone is enough to make a woman weary, not to mention all the aggravation of air travel post 9/11. My heart and my admiration goes out to you moms who go it alone on a regular basis. Add to the mix a little boy who adores his daddy and a heart-wrenching, tear-filled goodbye. I’m sure Johnny will cry, too.
And, while Daddy is gone I’ve prayed that Johnny’s looth tooth, his v

The Underwater Photographer - Lightening Up for International Dive Trips"Hey, Lighten-up!STORY BY BONNIE PELNARGetting penalized for overweight baggage is an all-too-often occurrence for most underwater photographers, but when the airlines lowered the baggage weight allowance to 50 pounds per bag for domestic flights things got even worse. Many of us resigned ourselves to the idea that we would pay dearly, expected the worst and hoped for the best. Now the international carriers have followed suit. This means even higher overweight fees and added expenses when traveling to those nice warm dive destinations. By the time you get all your dive gear, topside cameras and lenses and underwater camera gear packed, you've got little room for clothes, or anything else. Its time to lighten up!"
