Planning a Trip to Remember For a Lifetime

A special thanks to Sharon Lecompte for this article. If you are a newly wed couple and you want to plan your honeymoon, it is good to know about what consideration you need to have on planning a honeymoon trip.

A wedding is a wonderful time for a couple. It is a time to enjoy and celebrate the start of a new life together.

A honeymoon is an ideal way to start your married life together. It is a time to get away from the stresses of wedding preparation and to relax. It is a time to celebrate love in a fresh and exciting location.

Choosing the right honeymoon destination is simple to do if you keep the following tips in mind:

Consider your style and the things you like to do

Do you enjoy hiking and the great outdoors? You should consider a mountain retreat. The Rocky Mountains or Smokey Mountains are great choices. Do you enjoy sun and sand? A tropical beach getaway might be perfect for you. Consider the Florida coastline, Hawaii or the Bahamas. Do you like shopping and Broadway style shows? You should think about a trip to a big city such as Paris, London or New York. Do you like action and excitement? Try visiting an amusement park such as Disneyland, Disneyworld, Universal Studios or a Six Flags.

Consider the time of year and weather conditions

If you enjoy skiing, choose the mountains in winter. If you like to hike, choose the mountains in the spring or fall. If you want to cruise to the Bahamas, consider spring or fall to avoid the summer hurricane season. If you choose to go to Disneyworld, try to avoid the summer months when Orlando is the hottest and lines are the longest.

Consider the hotel or resort

Is it close to restaurants and activities? How much time will you be spending there? What amenities are available (24 hour room service, pool, casino, spa/massage, fitness center, golf course, restaurants, and nightclub)?

Consider the cost

Looking to cut down on costs? Consider staying close to home or within driving distance to avoid the expense of airfare. If going to the beach, book a rental or hotel located across from the beach rather than directly on the beach.

Choosing a honeymoon destination should not be a stressful experience. Keep these tips in mind when selecting your destination and you can plan a honeymoon that is exciting, affordable, and above all else, a trip to remember for a lifetime.

It's About Loving Food And Enjoy It

First, Easterner like eating hot meals. For example, in the morning, the Chinese often eat hot oatmeal, clay oven rolls, fried bread stick, noodles, soy milk and other foods in China. These are all hot. On the other hand, people in the West usually eat bread, milk, oranges and coffee are usually cold.

Secondly, as an Easterner drink hot water when it is winter or summer. If you go to a Chinese source, which will give you a cup of tea, and hot tea is always less than the demand for cold water. But in the west, people like to drink cold water or drinks, which can even drinking a bottle of cold water in winter, it is inconceivability in an easterner eyes.

Thirdly, it is totally different from Western Easterner and dinner. We often see a round table in a Chinese family, and then, a whole family sit together to eat dinner. They like to share with all the dishes by other families, the panel is suitable for a family. Moreover, in a family West is a square table family. A family eats different in each dish. Why dose and Chinese family use a round table? I think that families as a whole represent all share food and meeting "cordial". All these are traditional. In modern life, the Chinese also square table because it is popular.

We have always been known for our love of food, but for most people, hearty appetite that has a price. With our lifestyles increasingly agitated, there is almost no time to exercise or get fit. Add to that the fact that the Filipino cuisine tends to be high in fat and calories. Yes, it's a great meal, but you have to admit that is not exactly healthy.

But before the marinade ditching or hiring cookbooks South Beach, here's some good news: there is no such thing as low-fat Filipino foods. In fact, you can make any dish of the diet of easy with just a few simple adjustments-without sacrificing any of the flavor. If everything that is eating a toll on his waist, start eating more healthy with these tips and recipes for low-fat meal Filipino.

One of the secrets of cooking low-fat is the substitution of ingredients common with low-fat alternatives. Start with its oil: most people use ordinary cooking oil, which is made from animal fat and very high in cholesterol. Using vegetable oils such as corn, canola, sunflower, or if you can afford it, the olive oil. When making salads, or replace the mayonnaise with mustard vinaigrette, in a cool place and the use of canned ingredients.

A common problem with the replacement is that it does not always work. We can not wait for the same flavor as the original, but they have bad taste. It takes a bit of practice and experience to know what ingredients work together and what not. Feel free to experiment-you'll learn from your mistakes and get the hang of it in no time.

Fish is one of the favorites to replace meat dishes. Try this low-fat recipe instead of beef and steak and chops.
