Don't Get Robbed on the Street

Keep Your Wallet and Purse Safe

Purse snatchers and pickpockets look for people who are completely oblivious to their surroundings. Thieves target people who have no problem showing how much money they have by the way they dress and flash their money around. Just because someone is well off doesn't make them the only target, here are some tips to help you avoid being the target of a pickpocket or purse snatcher.

The Right Way to Carry a Purse
Contrary to what a lot of people think, your purse is more likely to be snatched on a crowded street in Las Vegas than it is in the parking lot of an antique store that is secluded from the public view. When you carry your purse in public keep it close and always make sure it's zipped and snapped. If the snap is in the front keep it turned towards your body. If it has a zipper on the top, zip it up so that the zipper pull is in front where you can rest your hand on it. Read the rest

Nude Beaches: What You Can Expect

Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting a Nude Beach

Nudism is a lifestyle, many folks enjoy living that lifestyle with trips to the beach; the nude beach that is. Nude beaches are often the subject of whispered giggles and curious amusement; people poke at the concept with a stick to see if it will jump up and bite them. Those people just can't help themselves; they are in awe of the nude beach and usually are too afraid to give it a try.

Most people are nervous on their first trip to a nude beach because they don't know what to expect, I aim to fix that; here's what you can expect when you visit a nude beach. Read the rest

Paradise Pools, Yosemite's Hidden Treasure

It's a Local's Secret

Paradise Pools is an unmarked location to the west of Yosemite Village. Californian locals have continued to keep Paradise Pools a secret because typical tourists have been known to leave trash strewn around the wilderness and most of us that partake in this natural wonder have no desire to see it ruined. It's our spot and we intend to keep it that way. The pools gather at the bottom of a series of waterfalls caused by the run off of melted snow. Because the run off has been rushing down the mountain side for hundreds of years, it has cut through the rocks that have over time become as polished as glass thus creating a perfect natural made waterslide and swimming hole.

The Venetialn Hotel and Resort - Comfort Worth Its Price

Just One Girls Experience at the Venetian

Everybody's heard it, it's on the radio, in commercials on television, mentioned in movies and featured as a prime time TV drama; what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Unfortunately as tourists we can't stay in Vegas. Spending a few days being pampered, shopping 'til we drop and cashing in comps make it hard to leave SinCity. In fact the glorious accommodations the hotels offer make it hard to leave the room.

I recently had the distinct pleasure of visiting Las Vegas with my husband on a business trip. We were given a marvelous concierge suite in the VeneziaTower at The Venetian. All I can say is that you won't hear me Read the rest

Cannibal Route - Visit South Africa with a New Perspective

The act of eating human flesh is more commonly known as cannibalism and it's been around for a very long time. Most of the information about cannibalism in recent times came from the accounts of explorers and missionaries in the 17th through the 20th centuries. There was a mass colonization in Africa, the South Pacific and Western hemisphere during this time and they found cannibalism was common in these areas.

They were surprised to find that much of the cannibalism had very little to do with actual starvation but rather often was practiced for religious reasons, war or Read the rest
