Flying across continents and oceans is the fastest way to travel, but it still means that you will have to spend considerable periods cooped up inside an airplane. A couple of hours in a plane is not an issue for many people, but extend that time to 8 hours or more, and then you might face problems. It is especially difficult for people who cannot afford business class or first class – which applies to many! I have flown my share of long haul flights, and I have been lucky to have had things and activities loosely planned so as to stave off boredom.

Getting Insurance When Traveling Abroad
November 8th, 2011 
Tushar Mathur 
Visitor medical insurance has become an essential part of the global economy today. Now-a-days, the frequency of the people traveling abroad is on an increase. If anyone is traveling within his/her own country, they need not apply for a separate policy to cover them as they are being covered under the domestic medical services. Such a facility is available under the international travel health insurance scheme.
Visitor medical insurance policy for a travel to USA guarantees that you are safe in the destination land and away from your country. Visitors travel insurance is designed to avert financially incapacitating situations in the event of a medical emergency or some such unforeseen event while traveling overseas.

Great blog on food and travel
February 2nd, 2009 Tushar Mathur I somehow stumbled upon the Ms. Adventures in Italy blog in Italy and boy am I glad I did. If you look food and you like travel, this is a great blog. Lots of interesting stories on locations in Italy and other must-see spots like Turkey… you’ll see that this person takes the types of photos I like to take… photos of food! I love the shot she took of the halva.
I’ll pitch in with my own food photograph, just for kicks… a simply delicious rabbit dish from a restaurant in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.
Traveling Tips to Save you Money
December 9th, 2008 Tushar Mathur The number one reason that people do not use up all of the vacation hours that they earn at work every year is because they do not have enough money to take a vacation. Instead, they either work or find things to do around the house because they think that taking a vacation is going to cost them too much money. While traveling can be expensive, there are things that you can do to help cut the costs and still have a wonderful vacation. Everyone needs to get away from the daily stress of work and the routines that we all fall into.
Business Travel with Your Business Travel Luggage
November 7th, 2008 Tushar Mathur Even those working in small businesses are finding that they need to travel more frequently these; with the global popularity of the Internet, even tiny companies can compete, and have customers anywhere. Business travel can be quite stressful, especially if you are new to working on the move. Whilst the following business travel tips cannot help reduce traveling, they can help with some useful information to make these trips more bearable.
When your baggage goes missing it is irritating to say the least but for business travel luggage, it can be a whole lot more disastrous.
Proper layering when going for a hike
October 30th, 2008 Tushar Mathur In bitterly cold weather I wear several layers for going out hiking; I also cycle a lot and find that several thin layers are far more practical than one or two thicker ones. Generally, I will wear a lightweight sleeveless or short-sleeved thermal vest. Next to that I’ll wear a thin short-sleeved cotton t-shirt with a long-sleeved t-shirt on top of that. A jumper – preferably one made of real wool – will form the top layer with an outdoor Berghaus jacket on top, so, with the jacket, I wear five layers.
Great sights when you travel to Mexico
October 21st, 2008 Tushar Mathur Mexico is a hub of different interests and cultures. People who travel to Mexico will witness many rich and diverse cultures and entertainment. From museums and opera houses to idyllic beach resorts, travelers in Mexico will definitely not ask for anything more.
Probably one of the places that people who travel to Mexico will surely enjoy are the beach resorts outside the capital city. At the top of the list is Acapulco, which is sometimes referred to as the Riviera of Mexico for its hotels, casinos and beach resorts. The Acapulco is a very popular tourist destination where one can also do deep-sea fishing as well as other water sports.
Should we be using Online Travel Sites ?
September 29th, 2008 Tushar Mathur These days we all travel more on our yearly vacations, some more than others while the really adventurous like to travel as far away from where they live as they can. Whatever your travel interest is you will find a wealth of information online at numerous travel sites. It is now true that increasing numbers of people carry out all their travel arrangements using internet web sites. The main problem is the convenience of it all and the huge savings that can be found using the internet.
This ease doesn’t always hold true however, and I have never been one to trust my entire vacation to a computerized travel site; it just seems a bit too strange to me.
