Things NOT to Do on Airplanes!
Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com
1 Don't Sleep During Takeoff or Landing....
You know that weird feeling in your ears upon takeoff and landing? That's due to the changes in air pressure.
If you sleep through the air pressure changes you’re not able to equalize the pressure in your ears, which can result in an ear infection, eardrum damage, dizziness, nosebleeds, and as a worse case scenario, severe hearing loss.
2 Don't Constantly Ring for Flight Attendants
That button should be used in the case of emergencies, or to highlight the urgency of a situation, or to ask an important question. If it’s a simple request, take a trip to the back galley and ask for what you want there.
3. Don't Use the Tray Table as a Baby Changing Station
Just don’t. This is unsanitary as tray tables are not cleaned between flights and in a few hours someone will be using that same table to have their lunch, or even just rest their hands or items on. It’s also inconsiderate to your seat-mate.
Most airplane bathrooms have a changing table. If not, wack a cloth or blanket (for sanitary reasons) over the closed toilet seat as a makeshift table.
4. Don't Go to the Bathroom with no Shoes on
As flight attendants don’t clean bathrooms during the flight, whatever mess—no matter how innocent it may appear—you encounter, could very well be a health hazard. Just keep your shoes on.
5 Don't Put your Bare Feet on the Seats or Walls
You’re not supposed to put your feet up on the walls or seats, especially if they have a pungent odor. Be respectful of your fellow passengers. If you want to air out your toes, throw on slippers during the flight. Nobody wants to see or smell your feet inflight.
6 Don't Be Inconsiderate with Food Choices
Yesterday’s lunch might be the most delicious thing in the world to you, but if it smells horrible, is dripping, squirting, or leaking all over the place, leave it in the fridge at home.
7 Don't Use Stinky Nail Polish or Remover
As aircraft utilize recycled air systems, they can be harmful to passengers and cabin crew. These fumes can’t be properly filtered and that means an entire flight breathing potentially toxic air. It’s because of this that the Federal Aviation Administration prohibits use of both nail polish and nail polish remover on flights.
8 Don't be Impatient
The more people rush, the slower things go. Don't sucumbe to the infectious panicking of the crowds, as they scramble around, trying to gather their belongings while clogging up the isle in the process. It's not a sinking ship!

1. “The Force of Nature”
By Lorenzo Quinn. These are several almost identical statues in different points of the world such as England, the United States, Monaco, and Singapore, as they seem to pull on the earth to maintain the gravitational equilibrium.

10-cringeworthy-ugly-american-tourist
Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com
The caricature of the “ugly American tourist” is a much-maligned species in international travel circles. But, valid or not, Americans seem to get the brunt of the criticism for their tacky tourist ways. Here are 10 cringeworthy ugly American tourist stereotypes.
1) I’m Wearing My Guns N’ Roses T-Shirt
Haven’t you seen Americans in get-ups like these when traveling? Knee socks and sandals, loud Hawaiian shirts, goofy hats, zinc covered noses, camera around the neck, map in hand. Nothing screams “tourist” like this ensemble. Consider it a fashion don’t.
2) Where are All My Valuables?
It's a handy and relatively secure place to keep money, a smart phone and other items front and center. Just know that its cringeworthy. Call it a fanny pack, belly bag, hip sack or waist wallet, don’t wear these things or you’re asking to be mocked, somewhat ironically, by the travel hipsters.
3) How Much Is That in Real Money?
Similar to the “can’t you speak English” type, some Americans abroad seem to be shocked that there’s a world of different currencies beyond their borders. They look at the unfamiliar bills and coins as Monopoly money, and are quite affronted that they can’t just pay in “real money”, meaning US dollars.
4) Do It Like We Do It Back Home
There are a lot of little luxuries Americans take for granted. Only when you leave the familiarity of home do you realize that some of these comforts aren’t universal. But some differences are worth opening your mind to and, shockingly, some things might even be better than back home... Or not.
5) I Have Spaghettios Back in the Room
There is a breed of close-minded, unadventurous ugly American tourist that doesn’t even try to go local when visiting new places. Convinced that they won’t like any foreign food, they pack a jar of peanut butter or a few boxes of Kraft Dinner to tide them over on their trip. Travel is an opportunity to get out of your box and comfort zone.
6) McDonalds, please?
There’s that cringeworthy American traveler who chooses to eat at familiar fast food chains even when venturing to culinary hotspots like France, Italy or Japan. What a waste to eat familiar burgers and fries when you could be sampling some local specialties.
7) Package tours
American tourist tends to stick to package tours and guided groups rather than risk going it alone. However, they leave little room for the spontaneity and serendipity that can really enhance the travel experience. You stick to the standard sites. Try exploring independently once in a while.
8) We Left Perfection to Visit Your Country
America is no utopia. Citizens of other countries might be more tolerant of “ugly American tourists” if they didn’t con

6-best-police-radar-detectors-you-can
Buy any of today's Product Reviews, here!
Best Value - The Uniden R3: https://amzn.to/3J0qb3u
Best Budget - The Cobra RAD 480i: https://amzn.to/3AXuVnG
User Friendly - The Escort MAX360C: https://amzn.to/3unp3Ty
Longest Range - The Uniden R7: https://amzn.to/3HvHUiV
Best for Bikers - TPX Pro: https://amzn.to/3roODWn
Best Detector/Dash Cam combo: https://amzn.to/3AVSJZg
Speeding tickets are expensive things! depending on the amount you are speeding and the state you are caught speeding in. The ticket itself can cost several hundred dollars, plus court costs and fees, and the increase on your annual car insurance, a sneaky radar, a slight lapse in concentration, and a failure to check your speedometer could easily cost you $1000.
1. Best Value For Money: https://amzn.to/3J0qb3u
The Uniden R3 has extreme long-range 360 degrees Eagle Eye detection for K-band, X-band, Ka Wideband, and POP mode radar guns. Voice notifications allow you to keep your eyes on the road and in addition to three city/highway modes and KA band and K-band filters to prevent false detections it has a GPS feature that allows you to mark custom locations, get red light camera alerts, and mute false detections. It comes in a handy carry case with two suction brackets, a cigarette lighter adapter.
At around $300 it isn't cheap but it is fairly good value considering it outperforms a lot of higher-end detectors out there.
2. Best Budget: https://amzn.to/3AXuVnG
The Cobra RAD 480i Laser Radar Detector offers quite a lot of functions with a relatively small price tag. It detects X, K, Ka, and Laser bands, but it can only detect front and back so it can't tell you the direction of the threat and without GPS you won't be able to mute false detections.
It does have red light and speed camera warnings but you'll have to update these via Bluetooth, and to do this you'll need the app that also has a subscription cost.
3. User Friendly: https://amzn.to/3unp3Ty
The Escort MAX360C isn't a cheap detector, but it is incredibly easy to use.
It can detect all radar bands including MultaRadar. The easy-to-read display has 4 arrows that show you the direction of the threat, its GPS capabilities alert you of red light and speed cameras and automatically mute known false alarms. It connects via Bluetooth to your phone and the Escort mobile app where it gets info of community-sourced warnings from over 3.5 million drivers.
You can even select novice mode, which hides the signal strength bars and basically just tells you when you need to slow down.
4. Longest Range: https://amzn.to/3HvHUiV
The Uniden R7 is possibly one of the longest range detectors on the market. It has two antennas that allow it to detect threats over 360 degrees.
It has pre-loaded red-light and speed camera locations and a fr

12-adrenaline-rushes-to-experience-on-a
If you still have the notion that cruises are for bingoplaying retirees, think again. The latest cruise ships have gone overboard with innovative bells and whistles to get hearts of all ages beating faster.
Check out these 12 ultimate adrenaline rushes to experience on a cruise.
Defy Gravity
Royal Caribbean’s megaships offer groundbreaking skydive simulators for their passengers using a glass wind tunnel to experience what it feels like to float on air.
Walk the Plank
There’s no greater pirate fantasy than walking the plank and now on some Norwegian Cruise Line vessels you can, right over the raging waters 180 feet below!
Ride the Waves
Royal Caribbean’s FlowRider surf simulators will have you on board in no time. Master the basics and even try some surfer dude tricks. It's a complimentary perk!
Swing From the Ropes
Some cruise lines have a ropes course on their ships! Balance on the beams, bridges and wires whilst enjoying the sea breezes and views.
Scale the Wall
Royal Caribbean introduced rock climbing walls back in 2002. You can shimmy up a 200 foot vertical wall and rappel back down while floating on the high seas.
Get a 360 View
Royal Caribbean’s latest enticement is their glass observation pod on a mechanical arm, offering 14 passengers an adrenalinePumping birdseye view, 300 feet above the ocean.
Go Extreme Sliding
Water slides are a popular feature on lots of cruise ships. Slide down four decks in a glass tube and out beyond the ship’s edge, loopdeloop and even race each other in sidebyside tubes!
Zip Across Deck
It was only a matter of time before someone added ziplining to a cruise ship . Oasis of the Seas offers an 82ft zip line that is suspended nine decks above the Boardwalk.
Go Overdrive
P&O Cruises have V8 Supercar simulators onboard and MSC Divina has a stateOfTheArt Formula One Race Car Simulator in case you feel like hitting the road while you’re at sea.
Chill Out Over Cocktails
In a SVEDKA Ice Bar, your heart will be pumping just to stay warm. The igloo chamber is kept below 17º and even the glasses are made of ice. Definitely the coolest bar on the ocean.
See Some Heart-Stopping Shows
See the Blue Man Group or Broadway shows like Chicago, Cats or Aladdin. Celebrity Cruises even wow audiences with Cirque-Du-Soleil performances.
Have Fun in the Zone
Today’s cruise ships are more like theme parks as some of Royal Caribbean's ships have a SeaPlex, with bumper cars, rollerskating rink, basketball court, even a circus school with a flying trapeze, being the largest indoor entertainment complex at sea.
So if you still think cruises are for shuffleboarding seniors, think again.
Yesterday’s Love Boat never had it so good!

Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com
In China, they’re putting a fresh twist on the way travelers can experience the country’s incredible natural beauty. One of the most popular spots in the nation, China’s Tianmen Mountain has installed a glass sidewalk affixed to the sheer face of the mountainside.
The “Coiling Dragon Cliff” skywalk hangs 4,600 feet off the ground. Stretching 100 meters long, with a width of a mere 5 feet, the skywalk is the third of its kind in the Tianmen Mountain region. This newest addition to the mountain overlooks China’s famed Tongtian Avenue. The snaking mountain road, whose name translates to “Avenue to the Sky,” ascends Tianmen Mountain with an astounding 99 turns as it travels through Hunan’s Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
So far the reactions to the new sidewalk have been overwhelmingly positive. Well, obviously some people prefer to keep as far away from the edge as possible, but that does little to interrupt the jaw-dropping views. If you think you can keep your lunch down, then the “Coiling Dragon Cliff” skywalk isn’t to be missed.

10-reasons-to-visit-qatar-and-its
Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com
Even though Qatar is tiny, there’s still plenty to see and do, which is why it’s important to plan ahead before you head to this fantastic little country in the Middle East.
1. The Museum of Islamic Art
It was designed by IM Pei and is surrounded by meticulously manicured lawns and gardens. Inside, the museum houses one of the most extensive collections of Muslim art in the world.
2. Soak Up the City at Sky View
You might want to bring a little bit of extra cash if you’re going to grab a drink at Sky View, the rooftop bar of Doha’s La Cigale. That said, you won’t regret a soaring bar tab when you get a glimpse of the gorgeous views of the surrounding city.
3. Check Out the Massive Nobu
Okay, sure, there are 30-plus other branches of Nobu you can dine at across the world, but none of them with 26,000 square feet. The high-class Japanese eatery is on the water at the Doha Four Season hotel, so you can enjoy breathtaking views with your shrimp tempura.
4. Explore the Bling at the Weaponry Museum
It is filled with some incredible weaponry from the Arab world, some of it dating as far back as the 16th century. The museum’s selection of ceremonial weaponry, some belonged to Lawrence of Arabia.
5. Grab Some Sweets at Al Aker
Head to Al Aker, a cafe in Doha. Make sure to try a sampling of the kunafa, a local pastry that’s doused in syrup and stuffed with white cheese. Once you taste kunafa, it will haunt by the memory.
6. Go to the Emir’s GCC Camel Race
Take part in one of the most popular traditional sports in Qatar, the camel race in which riders compete for the coveted Golden Sword. It is a bit far, but the energetic atmosphere and one-of-a-kind sporting event are totally worth it.
7. Feel the Heart of Doha at Souq Waqif
The site on which Souq Waqif sits, has been home to a market for several generations; the current incarnation has been designed to resemble a souq from the 1800s, complete with mud-rendered shops and restored Qatari buildings.
8. Drive Into the Desert for East-West/West-East
There’s one Richard Serra' sculpture called East-West/West-East. A series of 14-meter-tall steel slabs spread out over a kilometer of the Qatari desert. Sure, it’s a hike to get there, but it is one of the more compelling reasons to explore the surrounding countryside.
9. Walk Through Omani Market
Here you can purchase Omani goods like dried fish, tobacco and lemons, incense, and so much more. Even if you’re not looking to shop, a walk through the market never fails to enthrall.
10. Take a Picture at Pearl Monument
Stop by the Pearl Monument where you can get breathtaking views of the Doha harbor. If you find the time to come at sunset or sunrise, you’ll see yourself soaki

Once known for its fish-filled waters, Lake Atescatempa in Guatemala has dried up, leaving nearby residents hungry and displaced.
Children are dying from lack of food.
community have watched the once thriving lake become little more than a few muddy puddles
Now, the shells of clams, snails, and immobile boats litter the lake bed
Lake Atescatempa has undergone a prolonged drought in the past two years that has effectively eliminated the town's fishing and tourism industries.
Lake Atescatempa lies in what is known as Central America's Dry Corridor, a western region spanning from Guatemala to Panama.
The region is currently experiencing one of the worst droughts seen in the past 10 years
Without long-term data, it's difficult to say with absolute certainty that climate change contributed to Lake Atescatempa's depletion
Other human activity, from resource extraction to agricultural malpractice, could also be to blame. However, climate change is a likely culprit.
People affected by Lake Atescatempa's drought have reportedly received rations of beans, rice, flour, and oil. But indigenous communities have struggled to secure these rations.
