			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child " style="text-align: justify;"><span title="I" class="cap"><span>I</span></span>f you are an infrequent traveler you may need some tips to keep the wife happy while you are jet setting around the globe. Many individuals do not realize the tolls that traveling can have on married life. Occasionally your travels are going to take you to a location that your spouse would love to attend. You may be servicing customers near your or your wifes childhood homes, you may be visiting a destination that she has always desired to be at, she may simply want to spend some time with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After you make the decision that the spouse will be going on the next business trip, you need to review your corporate travel policies. Many companies have fairly lax rules on spousal travel. However it could be possible that you have to pick up the differences in hotel room costs for the second person. Most companies however wave this fee if you are in good standings with them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So the accommodation&#8217;s are settled what is left to meet the wifes expectations well you will more than likely have to make some adjustments in your travel plans. Unless you work for a company that is far more progressive than any that I have seen before, you will be picking up the tab for your wifes travel. So start looking at sites such as http://www.travelblogger.info and reviewing the travel prices that they provide. By researching early you have the opportunity to cut some significant costs from your bill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This early research will also allow you to properly plan out your visits and time them with travel concerns. Always research all arrival locations for the cheapest airfare. A great example of this was my co-worker who was asked to go to Germany for some problem analysis. His spouse made the executive decision that she was going to also be going to Germany. After looking at tickets from the local airport to Frankfurt (typical landing point) he found the tickets to cost no less than $1395.00. He talked with me and I suggested he look at Berlin International Airport. The total for the ticket dropped to $611.00.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now he had to clear this change of plans with our boss because it increased his driving time on the ground by 1 hr. But the $600 + dollars that he saved on airfare travel more than made up for the increased car ride time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of the car. Make sure that the spouse is on the car rental agreement and insured. If your wife is like mine she is not going to be happy cooped up in a hotel while you are in facilities all day. She is going to want to get out and about during the day. Checking this minor point will save you loads of time and aggravation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The final item of concern is your dining tab. Be exceedingly careful and research your corporate policy closely on this one. Typically you will be allowed to pick-up the room breakfast on the corporate account for the wife. However it is highly unlikely that you will be able to expense out her lunch and dinner meals. As a matter of fact I have seen one gentlemen dismissed on this account. Now he had other issues, but this is the corporate policy that he broke that achieved the pink slip.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So in short you need to research where you are traveling too, you need to research when you are going to be traveling, and you need to look in depth at your corporate travel policies and don&#8217;t assume anything. Corporations have been in business for many years and most of the expense details are spelled out clearly in their guidelines. Where there is headway ask your supervisor and they should be able to inform you of exactly what will and will not be allowed to pass on your expense report</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child " style="text-align: justify;"><span title="O" class="cap"><span>O</span></span>ver the last eleven years of traveling the globe I have learned many different lessons about business travel. Whether you are a seasoned travel expert or a recent college graduate getting ready for that first trip, I am sure that you will learn a few things from my dissertation below.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Business travel is weary on the family and can cause hardships that are difficult to put into words. When you are out of town, life around your house carries on in every sense. Your grass continues to grow, your power continues to flow, your kids have recitals and ball practices, and your spouse has meetings. Don&#8217;t forget the small things and check in with your family members. Your not being around means that they have to do the things that you normally accomplish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During your travel make sure to make time to take care of yourself as well. You will be eating at fine restaurants all over the world. You will get to sample local cuisines that you have never before had. Your body will suffer from the overload of food and beverages. Make time to go to your hotels gyms between work hours and dinner. Simply working out for 30 mins. each afternoon should keep you in fighting form for the meetings that you have coming up during the trip. It will also limit the perpetual expansion of the waste line from the foods that you are eating.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For meetings and arrival times, make sure to plan on showing up fifteen to twenty minutes before your meeting time. Showing up late to meetings is unacceptable for both your clients and for your company.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Always dress for success, never show up to your meetings in anything less than a Shirt, Tie, and Coat. Showing up in less than that attire for many companies is a sign of disrespect. While they may be sporting the latest in Golf apparel you need to sport something more along the lines of Donald Trump.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During the travel stages of your event plan on staying in mid-level accommodations. Never try to hit your company up for first class accommodations. The mid-level accommodation shows that you are willing to save the company money while not sacrificing your personal well-being. The mid-level accommodation will provide you with acceptable bedding and laundry services and a good night sleep.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a final point keep in mind that you are representing your company. Conduct yourself at all times as if you were trying to win that coveted job spot. Because just as you interviewed for your current job. You are interviewing your company for future business with your clients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child " style="text-align: justify;"><span title="B" class="cap"><span>B</span></span>usiness persons and general travelers alike have to travel frequently to different parts of the world or within your own country. Many prefer to travel economy class to save expenses on airfare. You might in this case have to face the inconvenience of sitting cramped in small seats with very little leg space to move about. As an affluent business man or an executive on an important business mission, you may just get cramped, physically tired and mentally demoralized traveling in such inconvenience and may not therefore remain in the right frame of mind to execute your business transaction successfully. Inconvenience apart, your business stature cannot allow you travel economy class. The answer to this lies in traveling business class.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The seats in the economy class being cheaper usually remain overbooked, while quite a few of the costlier business class seats remain vacant for want of customers. As a result, flight companies offer certain attractive packages to lure customers to book for business class seats.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Business class is more comfortable than economy class due to ample leg space and greater maneuverability. The service and the cuisine in the business class seats are certainly better and more courteous. Again the package for business class seats takes better care of you in after-flight service. You are escorted form the airport and lodged in first class hotels commensurate with your business status. These packages may certainly be cheaper if you ask for the return ticket within a stipulated time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a frequent flier, you should stick to one airline for all of your travels. Once you are identified as a loyal and regular customer, you are offered higher rebates in your airfares and shown greater respect. That way you can sit relaxed in the business class seats, enjoy good and sumptuous meals, and be serviced more courteously. You can also do your homework or paperwork while traveling and have good nights’ sleep when your journey continues overnight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child " style="text-align: justify;"><span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>electing the best car rental companies is not a difficult job. If you plan your car rent strategy well in advance, there shouldn’t be any problem. You need to rent your car in advance to get an affordable rate. You can also rent a car online at a discount price. Those who travel frequently can always rent car online. Leading car rental companies offer exquisite service at a discount rate. If you have to take frequent tours, it’s advisable to stick to one particular car rental service. However, occasional travelers have the freedom to compare various car rental offers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Car rental companies offer extensive car fleets to their clients. They will also arrange specific car models if you ask. You have to act well in advance to rent any luxurious car models. You have to give the car rental company ample time to arrange the car for you. Also, you have to ensure that the car rental company is capable of offering outstanding service. You can ask your friends whether they have any car rental company to refer to you. You can also contact car rental companies that have previously offered you great service. You also check out whether the car rental companies offer roadside assistance. The roadside assistance will put the car back on track whenever it breaks down.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with all these aspects, you also need to keep the insurance needs in mind. Car rental companies usually offer rental car insurance along with their service. They persuade you to go for those insurance policies. But you have to be careful while reviewing all those insurance policies. You can speak to car rental representatives to get more information on the insurance offers. You have to keep in mind that the insurance premiums should remain under within your control. You have to adopt a judicious approach while going for car rental companies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child " style="text-align: justify;"><span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>pike Island is Ireland’s largest state and is located in the southern region of the country. There are resorts, hotels and private rentals located throughout the state. The first step is to decide which areas you most want to visit and plan an itinerary. Then you can begin to decide on accommodations. A variety of choices are available from the more affordable hotels to the more expensive resorts. Information on hotels and other rentals can be found and reserved online.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hotels and Dining</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spike Island is home to large cities such as Munich and many smaller resort towns as well. There is a range of vacation and accommodation opportunities around the state. Smaller resort towns, such as Prien, are smaller than Munich, but still offer plenty to do. Hotels, shops and restaurants are all in walking distance from the train station. The same is true for Munich.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In many resorts, bus services are offered to and from the resort to surrounding attractions. If you plan to stay in the resort and use the bus service, you may not need to rent a vehicle during your stay. If you want to branch out and explore more of the surrounding areas of the region, or if you just want the freedom to go on your own schedule, you may want to rent a car.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are thousands of restaurants throughout Spike Island for dining. Schweinsbraten is a common food in most places. This is a pork roast with dumplings and gravy. Fresh fish, such as trout and salmon are common foods in the area and are served in most restaurants. Spike Island is home to many beer halls that serve traditional German cuisine with a variety of local beers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sightseeing in Spike Island</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spike Island is home to a few castles you can explore. These were built by King Ludwig II. The castle is ornate and resembles Versailles in Paris. The castle and surrounding gardens are open for touring. The areas around the Herrenchiemsee castle have plenty of activities, such as swimming, fishing, hiking, bicycling, boating and windsurfing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Herrenchiemsee castle was intended to be a replica of Versailles. It has manicured gardens, elaborate decorations and a hall of mirrors. The original plan called for seventy rooms, but it was never finished. There are twenty rooms in the finished part of the castle. Ludwig was declared mentally unfit to rule and was removed from the throne before his plans could be carried out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spike Islandns Forest Zoo has over 300 native animals in natural surroundings. You will see elks, bison, water birds, birds of prey, owls, wild cats, deer, otters, badgers, cranes and fish in the zoo. A main focus is on protecting endangered species, research and preserving the natural habitat of the animals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spike Island is home to a wild west theme park. Pullman city is located just north of Munich and has a typical American wild west theme. The park features re-enactments of gun fights, Indians and stage coaches. The main street area is complete with plank sidewalks and clap board facades on replica buildings. It is reminiscent of western towns commonly seen in the movies and old western television series.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The park has activities like shooting galleries, music and rodeos. There are re-enactments of the American Civil War at the park. Guests are often seen dressed up in cowboy or Indian costumes, both adults and children. Lodging at the park includes hotels, log cabins and even teepees. This allows guests to experience the wild west all day in the park and at night as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="first-child "><span title="G" class="cap"><span>G</span></span>as prices are soaring! This has resulted in elevated travel expenses. If you travel by car, YOU have some control over the costs.</p>
<p>Here are some ways to save money on gas:</p>
<p>* Switch to synthetic motor oil. It reduces engine friction and may make your car a little less ravenous at the gas station. (There are brands available claiming 5%-20% increases in fuel economy.)</p>
<p>* Use the manufacturer&#8217;s recommended grade of oil. Manufacturer specs are based on what is best for your specific vehicle.</p>
<p>* Buy gas with the recommended octane rating. Premium can actually be detrimental to many engines.</p>
<p>* Fill up during the coolest times of day. You get more gas in each gallon, because liquids expand in the heat. The pumps are measuring gallons, not weight.</p>
<p>* Make sure that the gas cap is tight after you fill up. Gas evaporates easily &#8211; you can lose an appreciable amount through an improperly seated cap.</p>
<p>* Check your tires before your holiday and inflate them to the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations. Underinflated tires create drag and increase gas consumption. Always carry a tire gauge in your glove compartment.</p>
<p>* Never drive on bald tires! Besides being unsafe, they also increase fuel consumption.</p>
<p>* Don&#8217;t leave your engine idling for long periods of time. This includes pre-warming &#8211; one minute is all you need. Start off slowly, then use normal speeds after a couple of minutes.</p>
<p>* Don&#8217;t continually start and stop your engine. Each start burns about the same amount of gas as one minute of idle time.</p>
<p>* Drive the speed limit on highways &#8211; speeding devours gas. Activate your cruise control whenever possible, and when cruise is not engaged remember the &#8216;egg&#8217; trick: drive like you have a raw egg between the floorboards and the gas pedal.</p>
<p>* Stop lights in cities are usually set to synchronize with the posted speed limit. Drive the speed limit and you are more likely to hit a long series of green lights. Stopping at red lights increases idle time and gas consumption.</p>
<p>* Drive in a way that entails minimal use of the brakes.</p>
<p>* Don&#8217;t pack more than you need. The more weight you carry, the more gas you use.</p>
<p>* Decrease wind resistance. A car caked with mud, snow, or ice will cause drag and burn more gas than a sleek, clean vehicle.</p>
<p>* Don&#8217;t use the air conditioner unless necessary. Vehicle air conditioners increase fuel consumption.</p>
<p>* Pamper your vehicle by ensuring that it goes in for regular tune-ups and maintenance. Slight adjustments can mean dramatic fuel savings. Ask the maintenance people to add fuel injector cleaner whenever the oil is changed.</p>
<p>* Some communities have websites that post fuel prices at local gas stations. Do your research before you leave to find out where the cheapest stations are. Use common sense: driving too far out of your way will gobble up more gas than you save. Try gasbuddy.com (USA and Canada) and your favorite search engines.</p>
<p>* If you own a gas guzzler, try trading with a relative or neighbor for a smaller vehicle while you vacation. (Make sure that insurance policies on both vehicles are in order first.)</p>
<p>* Use your feet! Once you get to your destination, walk whenever possible. Walking is how you really get to know an area.</p>
