Holidaying Tips - Enjoying holidays without breaking the Bank

Vacations are the times when most families can spend some real quality time togather. If planned earlier and it goes accoording to the plan, it is a well executed time utilisation , but if things dont go well, its a nightmare. Parents , kids and life partners can share the pleasure of unlimited time to have fun , explore and enjoy each other's company. But at what cost. To pay for all the members of a family travelling to a new location can amount quite a hole in the family budget. Especially if the final cost is unknown till the vacation is over. The solution for this is to opt for the all inlusive packages offer which are available at the various vacation resorts.

Because you only have to pay beforehand,inclusive package resort vacations are greatif your travelling on a budget or travelling with kids, then budgeting your travelling money should be easier. Also, some incentive package resorts vacation programs dont charge accomodation for kids upto 17 years of age who are staying in their parents room. Whats more, a lot of resorts have specil activities especially targeted at particular age groups from toddlers to teens. Many all inclusive resorts provide special catering and entertainment for kids. This is the place where everything is available and even unlimited. These all inclusive vacations know how to entertain guests of all ages. These resorts are outfitted with all the demands of each member of the family - whether jkid,teen or adult.

These are basically a few features which make all inclusive resort a place worthy of praise and visit

Stronger Video is out

Also featuring in this video is Cassie(which we thought was dead.......hah) . Apparently, there are rumors that she is recording for her 2nd album.

Mosquito to the rescue of teenage privacy

I've heard a lot of my buddies about their parents reading their messages as soon as the blaring 'Ting Ting' sound comes. Here's a help for them - the mosquito ringtone.

Mosquito device sends out a high pitched irritating noise that can only be heard by young men as most people over 25 do not hear sound at this frequency range. The purpose of Mosquito is to prevent unwanted gatherings of youths and teenagers in shopping malls and around shops or chase them away.

Not only shopkeepers, Railway companies have placed the device to discourage youths from spraying graffiti on trains and the walls of railway stations.

When Compound Security System developed Mosquito, they would never have imagined that the device would actually help kids and teenagers in their classrooms.

The sound emitted by the Mosquito Teens Repellant is now converted into a Cellphone Ringtone. Since adult teachers cannot hear the sound because it's too high-pitched, school children can receive text message alerts and incoming calls on their cell phones without the teacher knowing.

For trivia on this ringtone , visit the official mosquito ringtone site by clicking here

The Police Is Back !!!!! And i mean it !

“Ladies and gentleman we are The Police and we’re back,” said Sting at The Grammys, and he meant it.

Visit ThePolice.com and you’ll find that their new Police CD is entitled simply titled “The Police” to mark the 30th anniversary of their record’s debut in 1977. The album itself has 28 of their biggest hits from all five of their studio recordings. Here are the tracks that are going to be on the album:

Disc: 1
1. Fallout
2. Can’t Stand Losing You
3. Next to You
4. Roxanne
5. Truth Hits Everybody
6. Hole in My Life
7. So Lonely
8. Message in a Bottle
9. Reggatta de Blanc
10. Bring on the Night
11. Walking on the Moon
12. Don’t Stand So Close to Me
13. Driven to Tears
14. Canary in a Coalmine

Disc: 2
1. Do Do Do de da da Da
2. Voices Inside My Head

11. Synchronicity II
12. King of Pain
13. Murder by Numbers
14. Tea in the Sahara

I’ve got their album titled “Synchronicity” from iTunes and it’s simply great. This new album is going to be even better with all their greatest hits compiled on 2 CDs. The Police is the kind of band you’ll start liking when you’ll listen to them many times. As a music lover I can assure you that this album is going to be on the best 20 albums chart soon.

Their two best songs(in my opinion) are Synchronicity II and King of Pain which have got a 4-star rating on my iPod, something very rare. The Police have planned a world tour to promote this 30th anniversary special CD set and let young minds experience some real music.

Try pre-ordering the police cd now on their website. The direct link to their store where you can buy anything and everything related to The Police is http://www.thepolice.com/store/.
