			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are the youth administrator at a local church and are looking for some kind of Christian get away that the children in your group is sure to enjoy, then you should consider planning a back packing trip. This is a spectacular idea for the members of your church, who are between the ages of seven and twenty-five, but other members may enjoy the trip as well. </p>
<p>To get started, go online and search the <a href="http://www.christiantraveldirectory.com/">Christian travel article directory</a>. They have some very helpful <a href="http://www.christiantraveldirectory.com/back-packing.html">back packing articles</a> that will get you on your way. Once you have planned the place and time for the back packing trip, you are ready to communicate with you participants to go over the particulars.  </p>
<p>The first thing you need to decide is whether or not you are going straight to the back packing site or if you will all be meeting up the first day at a hotel, so you may all leave at the same time first thing in the morning. If you are planning to visit a hotel, be sure to read some <a href="http://www.christiantraveldirectory.com/hotels-and-accommodation.html">hotels and accommodations articles</a> to get the best information on location and amenities. Next, assign driving partners or hire a church bus driver for transportation and you are on your way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The town of Groton is a pretty place located in the American state of Connecticut, and is found halfway between the cities of New York and Boston. Water scenery is abundant in Groton, as it is surrounded by the Thames and Mystic Rivers, and is also home to many beautiful national parks that provide spectacular vistas. Because of its stunning water life, Groton is also home to the newly opened University of Connecticut Marine Sciences centre, where students can study the unique water habitats and their inhabitants.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cheapticketlinks.org/ ">Cheap airline tickets</a> to Groton are easily found, with an airport located within the town, and from there transport is easy along any of the major routes – boasting four exits from I95 and two Amtrak stations, getting into, out of and around Groton couldn’t be easier.</p>
<p>A place not to be missed while passing through or staying in Groton, is Fort Griswold. Located in Groton Heights, it was the primary defence for Groton and saw many battles between the British and the Americans. Another important military tourist attraction is the U.S. Navy Submarine Force Museum, which is also home to the USS Nautilus. Situated on the Thames River, it is a place to call into, to experience navy life aboard a submarine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you ever reach Cuba for holiday, you must not miss Trinidad. Founded in 1514, it was a haven for smugglers until the 18th century. However, everything changed in the early 19th century and today, you get the historical and beautiful land of Trinidad, Cuba. There are many historical landmarks, after all, Trinidad is one of the most historical places in Cuba. Get a picture of you and the Casa de los Martires de Trinidad monument that is located at the town center as a souvenir. This monument is built to honour the 72 Trinidad residents who died in a battle against Batista.</p>
<p>Another must visit place is the Museo Historico Municipal. This should be interesting for fans of history. Originally the museum building was a mansion owned by the Borrell family from 1837 until 1830. If you are more into the history of architecture, you should visit Museo De Arquitectura Trinitaria. It showcases the upper-class domestic architecture between 18th and 19th centuries. At these two museums, you will be able to learn in depth about the history of Trinidad and the history of the architecture. I would suggest you to stay in Trinidad at least for one night to truly visit more of the interesting places and besides it is easy to book for rooms at any of the Cuba hotels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cuba – the land of Che Guevara, white sandy beaches and colonial architecture landmarks. These are the trademarks of Cuba, the island of unique historical heritage. The proper name is the Republic of Cuba, and with a population of almost 11 million citizens, you can expect a diversity amongst its people. The best time to go to for a <a href="http://www.floriditatravel.com/travel/index.php">Cuba holiday</a> would be between December to April. This is the time after the pouring rain and just before hot and sunny weather.</p>
<p>The only way to reach Cuba is through the air. There are many <a href="http://www.floriditatravel.com/travel/cuba_flights.php">Cuba flights</a> available. If you are lucky enough, you might get to enter Cuba from a cruise ship, but the chances are very low. If you own a private yacht, you can anchor at one of the harbours or anchorages. When you are in Cuba, you must visit the beautiful cave by the name. Cueva Punta del Este. If you like historical landmarks, you might want to visit the museum in Cuba. There are many other places you can visit, and you can be sure that you will have great experience there.</p>
<p>After a great day of visiting the places in Cuba, I am sure the next thing is to rest before continuing the journey next day and where else would be better for a good night sleep if not in one of the <a href="http://www.floriditatravel.com/travel/cuba_hotels_havana.php">Cuba hotels</a>? You can select any one of them and the price is range from cheap to expensive according to your taste and needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you considering a <a href="http://www.baltictravelcompany.com/fu/co6/Poland-holidays">Poland holiday</a> or even better a <a href="http://www.baltictravelcompany.com/fu/co5_ca23/Russia-holidays/Guided-Tours-to-Russia">Russia tour</a>? The time has never been better than right now for a <a href="http://www.baltictravelcompany.com/fu/co5_ca49/Russia-holidays/St-Petersburg-City-Breaks">St Petersburg city break</a>. St. Petersburg, Russia is a magical city full of pastel painted buildings, abundant treasures in art, sparkling waterways and grand palaces. This city is far from a disappointment all year round. </p>
<p>With the help of an astounding vision, out from the swamp, St. Petersburg has grown to be among the most beautiful and stylish of cities all around the world. St. Petersburg, Russia has come to be know as the &#8220;Venice of the North&#8221;, which is a well-suited title. Canals and hundreds of independently crafted bridges cross the city of St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is covered with well-designed and refined buildings. The entire assemblage is especially beautiful when it is covered by a layer of powdery white snow, glistening in the sun of winter. The city of St. Petersburg is even more spectacular as the days of summer seem to never end. </p>
<p>Be sure to book a visit to the Museum of Russian Vodka to learn the history of the Russian national drink and most celebrated export.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don’t let the severe storms put you off if you’re looking for somewhere to vacation these holidays. Give New Jersey’s Sea Isle City a spin – at any time of year, it has something to suit all walks of life.<br />
Pop into the spring and fall fairs, with every member of the family catered for. Spend the day on the beach with the kids, looking for seashells and other flotsam that can be washed up on shore. Fly a kite and then hire some bikes to grab some more fresh air – and be guaranteed of a sound night’s sleep for the littlies. Make sure your purchase your beach tags, a requirement for all beach goers between Memorial Day and Labour Day.<br />
If sporting is more your passion, then <a href="http://www.sea-isle.net/">Sea Isle City, New Jersey</a> has it all for you too. Try your hand at surfing or inline skating, boating or skating. For the cultural buffs, hit the museum and explore old Sea Isle City, or perhaps a quite movie is more your style.<br />
Sea Isle City has more to offer though, with a thriving night-life and club scene. There truly is something for everyone at New Jersey’s Sea Isle City!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best things that you can have is a <a href="http://caaneo.ca/">CAA</a> membership, especially if you are lucky to have children.  When they are taking turns with you driving, you want to have the peace of mind that if they need any sort of <a href="http://caaneo.ca/automotive/">emergency assistance</a> that they will be protected by a club that will help them in any way they might need. </p>
<p>Of course, this is not the best scenario for a parent, guardian, tutor, or member of the family.  Responsible driving is naturally the best way to handle and approach when young people are behind the wheel, but even if you make sure that your children are driving responsibly, you cannot be certain that the rest of the drivers around them will also be driving in a responsible manner.  Therefore, a membership is the best way to go. </p>
<p>Nonetheless, you might not find a club that is ideal for you; what is important in all of this is that you provide your car with an <a href="http://caaneo.ca/">automotive club</a> that will give you the assistance that you require when you require it and as fast as possible.  Being stranded in the middle of the countryside or the city late at night can be scary for a grown man, much more if the driver is alone and young.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As my chemistry teacher always used to say, &#8216;be a proton, go to Groton&#8217;. Because he was proud of his hometown, he would also say &#8216;be photon, be seen&#8217;  - lots of chemical sound bites and twists. Of course when you look at some of the data, such as the fact that Groton was founded in 1705, you start to wonder at the significance of such a date or number. The primus NGC 1705 is up in space with a couple of late dwarfs in it so does NGC mean &#8216;Near Groton Constellation&#8217;? Groton, like many municipals, has three good quality hotels, the Holiday Inn, the Marriott and the Motel 8, many fine restaurants, and a beach park, but it is the things that make Groton unique, special that you want to see. The War of Independence fort and museum are an interesting places to go - but if motors, not muskets, are more your level then there&#8217;s the naval submarine museum. No matter what you are looking for: land, sea or space, with Groton you have a perfect destination with a secret code word, NGC 1705.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is something special about Groton, that is it is not often heard of and definitely not making any significant marks on the map but with the new tourism plan in Groton, it is sure to bring in tourists from all over the world to a whole new world of the unknown.

The Battle of Groton Heights was a battle of American Revolutionary War thus what you can see at the site is the fort and a museum. There is also a tunnel-like passage that was used during war. As for Gungywamp, it is an archaeology site consisting of artifacts dated way back to 2000-770BC. There are remains of houses and multiple stone chambers. It is sure to entice your curiosity to know more.</p>
<p>Other than that, Groton has a lot more to offer. There is an Oceanology Project ongoing that allows you to discover more with the technology of floating laboratory. The people of Groton celebrate the Greenway’s River Festival inJune every year to commemorate the Nashua River. There is a U.S Navy Submarine Force Museum that features the finest submarine collections of documents, artifacts and photographs. So, what are you waiting for? Start packing and head to Groton at once. It is not like you get to travel to a part of the world that you haven&#8217;t heard of.</p>

A self-guided tour to the vessel allows great access to the terrifying and claustrophobic corridors which is usually one person wide.
