<p>There&#8217;s not much better for travel inspiration than a mix of road trip songs. These songs will both help inspire you to get out on the road and see the country/world and hopefully be a good accompaniment to any trip.</p>
<p>King of the Road- Roger Miller <br />Born to Be Wild- Steppenwolf <br />Highway to Hell- AC/DC <br />Drive My Car- The Beatles <br />Low Rider- War <br />I&#8217;ve Been Everywhere- Johnny Cash <br />Life Is a Highway- Rascal Flatts <br />California &#8211; Phantom Planet <br />Me and Bobby McGee &#8211; Janis Joplin <br />Roam &#8211; B52s <br />Going Mobile &#8211; The Who <br />Open Road Song &#8211; Eve6 <br />The Distance &#8211; Cake <br />Wandering Daughter &#8211; Kimya Dawson <br />One Headlight &#8211; The Wallflowers <br />Another White Dash &#8211; Butterfly Boucher</p>
<p>A lot of these songs are specifically about traveling or riding in a vehicle, and are from a variety of time periods and musical styles. For instance the first song on this list, King of the Road, is a country song from 1964 about a homeless man traveling without money but enjoying the trip anyhow. This song became very popular and has been used in more current pop culture, like in the film about traveling, Into the Wild. The film&#8217;s main character sings the song while hitching a ride on a train and traveling the country without money. In contrast there are songs like Low Rider, all about a car. This song has also been in a lot of movies, notably Gone in 60 Seconds. Or Going Mobile, by The Who, all about taking to the road and wandering and being free. There are traveling love songs, like Another White Dash or Me and Bobby McGee, and songs simply about driving like The Distance.</p>
<p>Despite all of these differences these songs have some key things in common, they&#8217;re all about hitting the road, inspiring you to travel, and are well known enough that you can probably sing along to most.</p></div>

<div>
<p>Traveling when you are retired can be a wonderful experience. You have the right kind of freedom that you need and you also have no ties to work or business. That is perhaps the best time to go on a vacation and simply let go of worries. If you are someone who is trying to travel on a budget than you will need to plan the vacation in advance and make sure that you check out all kinds of useful deals and discounts available to you. A lot of people actually make use of special travel insurance over 70 offers so that they can save some money on insurance and spend that amount on other important things.</p>
<p>There are many ways that you can travel on a budget. But the first thing you need to do is to look for alternative travel destination. An alternative travel destination would be some place that has all the right sight seeing features and options that you are looking for but is less traveled and hence, less costly. For instance if you need a beach destination then instead of heading to the Caribbean islands, you should look for a place like Cairns in Australia which has some amazing beaches and even the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns has the same activities that you will find in the Caribbean for a lot more money.</p>
<p>Another thing to get better discounts is to book your travel in the off peak season timings. Off peak season means the time when most other people are away at work or school and there are no holidays in sight. Even to the most exotic locations, holiday vacations can be quite costly. So if you choose a time when you can have the same activities in lesser price it will be great. You will also be able to find a lot of discount on travel tickets during those off peak times and you will be able to enjoy better accommodations for less. Even during the vacation, you will find that there are a lot of discount offers in the off peak season &#8211; for instance on souvenir shopping and on tourist packages. You will even be able to go sight seeing for less!</p>
<p>A typical cruise ship vacation is also usually expensive but if you are looking for a cruise ship vacation in lesser cost then a free style cruise ship like the Cunard Queen Mary 2 or the Norwegian cruises would be a better idea. They cost less, they are more comfortable and they have all the luxurious amenities of other cruise ships. You can also find a lot of discount deals and offers if you book your vacation in advance and plan ahead of time. That way not only will you be able to find cheap travel insurance for over 65 but you will also be able to avail earl bird discounts on flights and accommodation. Make use of the internet to make advance bookings and other travel bookings of all kinds. Finding budget travel deals was never easier!</p></div>

<p>Holidaying in England offers you the opportunity to explore some very interesting places indeed. Along with those sites which are many thousands of years old such as Stonehenge there are other sites to explore such as the modern ones like the London Eye.</p>
<p>When holidaying in England you may find that you need to arrange several visits in order that you can truly get a feel for what this beautiful country has to offer. In this article we look at a few of the places which may be worth visiting when you next choose to holiday in England.</p>
<p>The well known historical site of Stonehenge situated close to the town of Salisbury in Wiltshire is a popular site with tourists from all over the world. Even today after many years of research being carried no one can definitely say for what reason this particular edifice was built but for many it is still a place of worship. Although a wonderful place to visit you don&#8217;t have the chance to really get close to it.</p>
<p>Whereas only a short drive away from Stonehenge is the village of Avebury which is surrounded by a large stone circle as well. The advantage that you have with visiting this particular site is that you can actually walk around the stones and touch them if you want.</p>
<p>Further to the north another place of interest worth taking time out to visit is Durham Cathedral. This is like Stonehenge a classified UNESCO World Heritage Site and was founded in 1093AD. Within its hallowed walls you will find a shrine to Cuthbert, Lindisfarne and 7th Century Saint along with the remains of Venerable Bede. But one part of the Cathedral which should not be missed is the climbing of the 325 steps in the tall tower as once at the top you are provided with some magnificent views looking out over the city.</p>
<p>If you intend to stay in the area of Durham for a while then travel a little further a field and take in the spectacle which is the Humber Bridge. Located to close to the town of Kingston Upon Hull this bridge is the fifth largest single spanned suspension bridge in the world today. The overall length of the bridge is 7,283 feet whilst the central span measures a total of 4,626 feet.</p>
<p>But quite a large number of people when holidaying in England like to visit the country&#8217;s capital London. Here there are so many sights to see and enjoy that you may need to return to it time and time again. One of the most favored tourist attractions in London is the Tower of London situated on the north bank of the Thames. It can be reached easily either by walking, catching a bus, hailing a taxi or travelling on the underground (metro).</p>
<p>This edifice was originally built not only as a Royal Palace but a fortress and prison and where many high status or royal prisons were kept. Yet not only has it been used for these purposes at one stage it housed a zoo and today it is where the Crown Jewels of the British Monarchy are kept and can be viewed by the public. Also during its time it has acted as home to the Royal Mint and as an observatory and all the tourist attractions to be found in England is still one of the most popular of them all.</p></div>

<div>
<p>It seems easier to find all the right Thanksgiving recipes when you are planning a big meal for a large group, but what do you do when you have a small family or you&#8217;re planning a meal for just you and your husband this Thanksgiving?  Check this list of Thanksgiving dinner menu ideas for small families, and discover how you can have an intimate day that is fun and memorable too!</p>
<p>First, don&#8217;t think of this as a day that you have to do something traditional.  Instead, think of this time as a way to do something &#8220;special&#8221;.  When many moms are spending Thanksgiving morning basting some big turkey, you can spend time frying up some sweet smelling gingerbread pancakes topped with whipped cream topping and hot syrup and served with freshly cut pineapple which you have beautifully placed on an antique platter, dreamy new serving dish from the new department store in your neighborhood, or pretty little dinner plate you purchased from the dollar store the day before.  If gingerbread pancakes don&#8217;t do the trick for your family, how about serving up some kind of Paula Deen, Julie Child, or Rachael Ray breakfast dish, or you can bake a Mexican breakfast casserole you assembled the night before and placed in the oven Thanksgiving morning.  Monkey bread, those glorious sugar and cinnamon covered biscuit balls baked in a Bundt cake pan, smothered with brown sugar and butter can also be a nice start to a Thanksgiving day dinner for a small family, and if you keep left-overs of these scrumptious delights in baggies, you&#8217;ll be enjoying this special treat for breakfast for a few additional days too.  Any special recipe you have never made before or have only made on a few special occasions would be something you might want to consider for Thanksgiving morning.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can find a completely different special activity or event to do Thanksgiving morning.  Since you don&#8217;t have a large crowd to prepare for, take the opportunity to get your family up to run or walk a 5K race in your town (make sure you tell them about this beforehand though, and complete any registrations necessary for a formal walk or run unless your just watching), or take some breakfast sandwiches to a nearby city park, enjoying a simple family walk in the morning air before or after you picnic in the cold weather.  Another idea might include planning a prayer and thanksgiving walk around your yard, neighborhood, or at some special indoor or outdoor place close to you.  Cut some paper into pieces, and then, on each piece of paper, write something your family is, or should be, thankful for, or write a prayer request for a blessing you would like to ask God&#8217;s assistance with in the following year (like asking for grace to deal with a little baby and little sleep, sharing a problem or concern, asking for a new little baby in your lives someday, or requesting the knowledge of peace among the turmoil in your daily lives).  Use this, or something like this activity, as a tool for a special Thanksgiving morning activity.  Whether you make Thanksgiving morning special by enjoying a new, creative breakfast recipe or creating a memorable family moment, start your Thanksgiving Day with something special that you can do as a small family or couple that is not burdened with the weight of traditional cooking for a crowd.</p>
<p>Another idea to remember when you have a small family and family holidays coming up is that you do not have to be &#8220;in the norm&#8221; to enjoy your Thanksgiving Day.   You don&#8217;t have to serve the typical Thanksgiving dinner menu.  Consider what recipes might be fun to try from Grandma&#8217;s old cookbooks you have in storage, or from a book or magazine you have looked at while sitting in the coffee shop in Borders, or from recipes you found online.  If you want a traditional Thanksgiving meal but don&#8217;t need the big turkey, find a recipe for turkey breast or turkey cutlets.  Try baked or deep fried, breaded turkey cutlets which remind your little ones of chicken nuggets, and serve with honey mustard sauce and sweet potato fries.  There are even many great turkey breast recipes you can make in the slow cooker.  If you feel you can stretch your comfort zone, consider something completely different or something you have always wanted to do but have never done before.  New recipes, old fashioned recipes, southern recipes, New England recipes, French recipes, easy Thanksgiving recipes, and even funny looking recipes Thanksgiving recipes for kids are all acceptable for family holidays eating!  Another idea might be to plan a family work day to start or complete special lawn and garden projects around the home or to build something fun like a bench or pavilion, following that by barbecuing cranberry turkey burgers on the grill.  The idea here would be to simply do something different, something fun, or something special to enjoy your dinner with your family, no matter how big or how small.  While tradition is nice, don&#8217;t let it dictate your loved ones or your time with them.  Find what makes sense to your family and what you all would enjoy for a special time together, and you&#8217;ll find the perfect Thanksgiving dinner menu for you!</p>
<p>As an additional note, short Thanksgiving vacations or a family outing can be a great, small family alternative to traditional family holidays at home.  An overnight stay at a nearby bed and breakfast or nice hotel can be a nice way to have some Thanksgiving fun, and most larger hotels have nearby restaurants that will be open for Thanksgiving dinner.  You might consider checking in on Thanksgiving Day, having dinner at a local restaurant, topping the night off with a movie you&#8217;ve wanted to see but could never find the time to go, and then checking out the next day to do some serious nearby Christmas shopping or attend a community Christmas event.  Having a small family to cook for can provide a great opportunity to have another kind of Thanksgiving fun if you aren&#8217;t afraid of new, contemporary ideas for your family.</p>
<p>Finally, keep remembering family members above family holidays, both before and on this special day.  There may be some rewards from slaving over a stove to master some big holiday feast for 25 people or a crowd of six kids or so, but no big turkey or fantastic sweet potato recipe is ever going to be as important as that loved one that is sleeping next to you or in the bedroom down the hall.  If you have someone special enough that you have taken the time to research and think about what you can do to make their holiday a special time, then you already know the best part of family holidays is the FAMILY.  Your family members are the most important ingredient, besides the All Mighty God Himself, that you could put into any Thanksgiving Day celebration, traditional, contemporary, small, large, or otherwise, so whatever you do, make sure your Thanksgiving dinner menu ideas focus on the ones sitting across from you at your kitchen table.</p></div>

<p>Sometimes under-appreciated, traditional British cuisine offers many wonderful dishes and great variety from the different corners of the United Kingdom. British culture (and cooking!) have been greatly enriched by immigration and overseas influences.</p>
<p>Although there are commonalities throughout the British Isles, it should be remember that the United Kingdom is a union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each of which has their own distinctive cultural and culinary traditions. Additionally, as already mentioned, immigration and trade with other nations have greatly influenced British food, and caused the emergence of new culinary styles such as Anglo-Indian.</p>
<p>British, and especially English cuisine, has not always had the highest reputation abroad. For example, in 2005, French President, Jacques Chirac described English food as the second worst in Europe (he considered Finnish cuisine the worst). However, while it&#8217;s true that there are some poor quality restaurants, despite this reputation, there are in fact many excellent British restaurants too (in 2005, Restaurant Magazine said 14 of the 50 best restaurants in the world were in the United Kingdom), and a willingness among the British population to experiment with new styles and dishes, both at home and when eating out.</p>
<p>Some popular British meals and foods include:</p>
<p>- Full English breakfast &#8211; Sausage, bacon, eggs (usually fried or scrambled), fried bread, fried mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, black pudding (a type of blood sausage) and baked beans.</p>
<p>- Sunday roast &#8211; Roasted meat with roast potatoes and vegetables, traditionally eaten on a Sunday. There are several common varieties: roast beef (beef with gravy, horseradish sauce and mustard, served with Yorkshire pudding &#8211; a dish made from baked dough), roast pork (pork with &#8220;crackling&#8221; (crispy cooked pork rind), apple sauce), roast lamb (lamb with mint sauce or redcurrant jam), and roast chicken (chicken with chipolata sausages (small thin sausages), bread sauce, and cranberry sauce or redcurrant jam).</p>
<p>- Toad in the hole &#8211; Sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter.</p>

<p>Rhode Island and Vermont. It is characterized by rich historical significance, serene coastal and pastoral beauty, and hearty cuisine.</p>
<p>Seafood is perhaps the most prominent component of New england cuisine. All of the states in this region, with the exception of Vermont, have coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore a multitude of fish and shellfish are stewed, baked, grilled, broiled or fried into a wide variety of delectable treats. Highlights include:</p>
<p>o	Maine Lobster <br />o	Halibut <br />o	Salmon <br />o	Clam chowder <br />o	Steamers <br />o	Fried clams <br />o	Mussels <br />o	Scallops <br />o	Clam bake <br />o	Cod <br />o	Haddock</p>
<p>There is also an abundance of farmland in New england, and as such, dairy is another main specialty of the region. Some foodies have attributed New Englanders&#8217; talent for cheese making to the fact that they remain close to their European heritage. Vermont in particular is well known for its outstanding cheeses, especially cheddar.</p>
<p>When it comes to fruit, cranberries are the crop of choice in New England. There are countless ways to utilize these tart little berries, with the most popular being cranberry bread, cranberry jelly, and of course, cranberry cocktail. Apples, blueberries, strawberries, and rhubarb are baked into pies, tarts and crisps in many New england kitchens. Although the Concord grape, a dark bluish-purple grape popular in juices and jellies, is named after the village in Massachusetts where it was first grown, Washington produces the highest volume.</p>
<p>Other tasty food staples native to New England states are:</p>
<p>o	Boston baked beans and Boston creme pie (Massachusetts) <br />o	Potatoes (Northern Maine) <br />o	Corn chowder (New Hampshire) <br />o	Quahog (Rhode Island) <br />o	Maple Syrup (Vermont) <br />o	Hamburgers (reportedly invented in New Haven, Connecticut)</p>
<p>The delicious, wholesome cuisine of New england evolved from our nation&#8217;s settlers and therefore retains an air of simplicity. Nevertheless, it helps to pick up a good New England cookbook to master the techniques that will extract the fullest flavor and potential of every recipe.</p></div>

<div>
<p>If you are looking into UK boating breaks with your family then you may be worried that your children will not have enough to occupy them over the course of the holiday. Nothing could be further than the truth and an England boating holiday will give your entire family the chance to spend time together and explore some of the beautiful scenery that the country has to offer. UK canal boat holidays are all about relaxing as you drift along peaceful waterways, looking out for some of England&#8217;s native wildlife along the way and mooring your boat wherever you choose. You can spend as much or as little time on dry land as you want, either way, you will find canal breaks to be rewarding and invigorating.</p>
<p>One destination that is popular among first-time canal boat users is the Norfolk Broads. Here you can cruise the lakes and rivers uninterrupted by locks, which feature heavily on canals. With a perfect blend of peace and quiet, stunning natural scenery and activities to keep everyone happy, your Norfolk Broads holiday is bound to be a success with the whole family. If the kids want to get out and about, why not hire bikes for a day and let them explore some of the tow paths and cycle trails around the waterways? Alternatively, if they love spending time on the water, you could spend a day learning how to sail &#8211; or even take a canoe trip to get closer to the nature that surrounds you. This part of Britain is a haven for birdlife so you should make sure that you keep your binoculars handy as you drift along. While you may want to spend the majority of your break onboard, it is always good to moor up and have a day on land.</p>
<p>One must-visit location for families is Wroxham Barns, an attraction that has something for every member of the family. Mums might enjoy spending an afternoon shopping, with fashion boutiques, gourmet food stores and craft stalls all waiting to be discovered. The centre is used as a workshop by a number of local craftspeople, so you can see the pottery, stained glass and sculptures being made, as well as the finished goods in the shops. If a particular artist&#8217;s style takes your fancy, you can even commission pieces from them, so you will leave with a truly unique memento of your family holiday. Meanwhile, the kids will want to get to know some of Wroxham Barns&#8217; other residents. A junior farm provides lots of opportunities for animal lovers to spend time caring for a host of different animals. From guinea pigs and ferrets to donkeys and cows, your children are sure to enjoy helping on the farm.</p>
<p>In spring, they will be able to bottle feed the newborn lambs, while autumn provides a chance to help care for the calves. All year round, they can help groom ponies, exercise ferrets and feed the goats, giving them a taste of rural life. But all that activity may make you hungry and there is no better place to sit back and recharge your batteries than in the award-winning restaurant. Wroxham Barns takes great pride in its food and you will find the menu full of mouth-watering dishes, all prepared using fresh ingredients from local sources. If you find that you are still hungry after your main meal then do not worry, as the eatery also serves up an impressive selection of cakes, puddings and other desserts to tempt your taste buds. Before you leave, make sure you have paid a visit to the food shops here too &#8211; the fudge shop will give you lots of sweet treats, either to indulge yourself or take home as gifts &#8211; while the Country Foods Store is the perfect place to pick up some jam, chutney or wine. Every product on the shelves has received the Wroxham Barns seal of quality and all of them are made in the local area &#8211; so you can take a taste of Norfolk home with you when your boating holiday ends.</p></div>
