Golf Vacation

Cancun Golf Vacation : TravelYucatan.com Cancun Golf Vacation Cancun Mexico CANCUN GOLF VACATION Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran Cancun offers tree lined and shaded fairways, challenging greens, great views of the ocean, Mayan ruins and an array of exotic birds and animals. You must find your own transportation to the course you wish to play. You can take a taxi. Every taxi driver in town knows every golf course. It is not recommended to take your own clubs unless you plan on golfing every day. Club rentals are between $30 - 40 USD. We do suggest that you bring a sleeve of balls and tee's...since they're easy to pack. Bring cheap balls because you will loose a few on these jungle/ocean courses. You can book a twilight game at a reduced rate however not all courses have rangers on board and if you get a bunch of drunks in front of you this can be a hassle. It is cooler to golf later in the day - but almost impossible to get 18 holes in before dark. CANCUN GOLF COURSES Pok-Ta-Pok is a picturesque course located on the lagoon side of the hotel zone across the street and a little east of the Intercontinental Presidente.

The greatest asset Cancun has is its natural marine playground which sparkles with a warm sun more than 200 days of the year. Cancun beaches are 14 miles of white-talc sand. Don't forget that sunlight in the Yucatan is more direct than most are accustomed to. Limit you initial exposure then increase exposure as your vacation progresses.

FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Russia Travel Guide One of the pleasures of travel is reveling in the food and drink of the local cuisine. Russia has plenty to offer in this respect, whether you opt for traditional Russian fare or meals representative of other CIS countries. What Not to Eat You can eat well in Russia at any budget. However, because some people get sick when they travel and eat unaccustomed food, this situation can happen in Russia also. So, because you don't want to spend time being miserable in your hotel room from a stomach problem, it's wise to be careful, just to be on the safe side. Some suggestions: Don't drink tap water. Drink only bottled water. It comes with or without gas. When you order bottled water at restaurants, make sure the waiter brings you an unsealed bottle (not an open bottle that could have been filled with tap water). Of course, if you order water with gas, you won't have this possibility. Brush your teeth with bottled water, not tap water. Avoid salad bars (vegetables washed with tap water). If you buy fruit, wash it with bottled water, not tap water. You get the picture with tap water. If you order a coffee or tea, be aware you might be drinking tap water, but it's boiled. Avoid food from sidewalk stands. Enjoy all thoroughly cooked food. I should note that I have broken all the suggestions above throughout Eastern Europe and not suffered consequences. I love going to cafes for coffee and eating ice cream from sidewalk vendors. But again, you may opt for the safest route than take a chance spending your precious visit too sick to enjoy it. Restaurants Moscow and St. Petersburg have a proliferation of well-known chains, including McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and TGI Fridays. But try to sample other food, as both Moscow and St. Petersburg can offer so much more. Check the English language newspapers such as the Moscow Times for listings of restaurants. For restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg, also see these lists: List of all types of restaurants in Moscow, from the Moscow City website St. Petersburg restaurants Almost 500 restaurants listed. Fodor's picks for Moscow restaurants Fodor's picks for St. Peterburg's restaurants Cuisine Russian cuisine does wonderful things with meat, cabbage, potatoes, and dough (both bread and pastry). Well-known dishes include : borsch (beet soup) pelmeni (boiled dough pockets filled with meat) beef roll (finely chopped meat and spices rolled in fine pastry) chicken kiev draniki (potato pancakes) golubtsy (cabbage rolls filled with meat and rice, covered in a tomato broth) There are many other dishes, with beef, pork, poultry and fish, as well as potato salad, pickled vegetables, mushrooms, caviar, and wonderful dark bread. Don't forget dessert: bliny, ponchiki (doughnuts), kulich (rum cake) and ice cream. Payment In top restaurants you will likely be able to pay with credit cards. At smaller cafes and restaurants, you will probably have to pay with rubles. Drinking in Russia We'll get to the vodka later but first, know that Russians love to drink tea (chai). With samovars boiling away in offices and train compartments and lots of other places too, Russians drink tea all day long. Vodka is a popular drink, and comes plain but also flavored: lemon, cranberry, herbs. It's hard to keep up with a Russian drinker so you may not want to try. Beer (pivo) is also popular. Russian brands include Tinkov pilsner , Baltika, Stepan Rizan, Nevskoye, Klinskoye, and Tolstiyak. A low-alcohol beer is called kvas. Russia also produces wine, with three million acres of vineyards. Russian wines aren't for everyone, as they can tend to have concentrated fruity flavors and some are rather sweet. While you're in Russia, you may want to try the wine of former Soviet republics, such as Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine. Popular white wines are the Anapa Riesling, Tsinandali, and Gourdzhuani. Reds are Saperavi and Mukuzani. Tipping Tipping has not yet become an expected norm in restaurants around Russia, although at better restaurants and cafes, you will find that patrons will do so. However, a normal rate has not been really established yet, so many people leave between five and ten percent, or more depending on the service. At not so fancy restaurants or cafes, you can round up the bill. Some restaurants will add service to your bill, so check first before you tip, and feel free not to tip at all if you believe the service doesn't deserve it. If there is a cloakroom where you need to leave your coat, there may be a sign telling you the amount to release your belongings. Otherwise, leave a few rubles or a dollar.

Rhine-River-Lights boat cruises with music, dance and fireworks. Even ten romantic boat cruises on the middle Rhine River, including firework and visit of a wine festival or a winery festival offers the organiser Germany-Travel-Net in the summer and autumn of the year in the course of the event serial Rhine River Lights. "Other than similar organisers, we have strictly limited the number of the boats", says the manager of Germany-Travel-Net Wilhelm Hermann. "Because of that, virtually all guests are in the 'front row' during the fireworks of the Rhine river lights ™ ." According to the information of Germany-Travel-Net, one or two fireworks are planned for the Rhine-River-Lights boat cruises. In order to bring success to the Rhine-River-Lights boat cruises, Germany-Travel-Net does not just focus on pyrotechnical spectacles. The organizer Germany-Travel-Net has timed the boat cruise trips in that way, that the passengers will have the possibility to visit either the wine festivals or the winery festivals in different wine towns on the Middle Rhine River in May, June, August, September and October. "All we want is our passengers to have fun!", says Wilhelm Hermann from Germany-Travel-Net, "that is why there is also live music and dance on the Rhine-River-Lights boats.
