When it comes to choosing a dude ranch for your vacation, a smaller number of guests often means a bigger quality of experience. While dude ranches that can handle a lot of guests may offer more amenities, they can lose a lot of the personal touches that turn an average vacation into an experience to remember. At the Double Circle Ranch, an Arizona dude ranch, we want the number of guests to not exceed eight. The exceptions to this are team building, family reunions, or retreats where the one party has the entire ranch to themselves.

Having small groups lets us accommodate individual preferences. If your daughter wants to ride horses all day, your son wants to go hiking, and you and your spouse want to have a wildlife and scenery tour, we can do that. Plus your family or friends are part of a working ranch. You will have your choice of helping do everyday chores like herding cattle and checking fence – or not. You eat with us, sit around the campfire with us – and hopefully leave as friends with us. You become part of this famous old ranch – and we expect to see you next year!

Visit the Double Circle Ranch to experience an Arizona Dude Ranch adventure right out of the Old West.

Bristol, the premier city for the South West of England, serves as the gateway to some of the UK’s most beautiful locations including Cornwall, Devon and Wales. As with any large city, there are a number of hotels in Bristol to choose from.

Boasting the fifth largest population in England as well as a rich and eventful history, Bristol has more recently transformed into a vibrant, modern European city packed with places to go and things to see to suit for every kind of visitor .

The original town was listed in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 1051 as a trading port and the city’s maritime heritage is highlighted by the achievements of Bristol’s most famous son, the great Victorian inventor I sambard Kingdom Brunel. It was Brunel who the SS Great Britain which became the first iron-hulled, propeller-driven ship to cross the Atlantic and, of course, the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge with its breathtaking view of the city.

For the dedicated ‘shopaholic’, the new Cabot Circus shopping complex has propelled Bristol into the top 10 list of UK shopping destinations. With over 120 new shops, including major flagship stores, restaurants, cafes and delis, and a state-of-the-art 13-screen Showcase Cinema de Lux, this impressive construction brings a whole new dimension to shopping in Bristol.

Stroll a short distance from the busy shopping areas and you’ll find yourself surrounded by the incredible old buildings and relics of the past in Bristol’s original Old City. The cobbled streets of Broad Street, Corn Street, St Nicholas Market and King Street remain much the same today as they were centuries ago. Don’t miss the majestic Corn Exchange or the quirky old Llandoger Trow pub on King Street.

One of the most significant changes to Bristol over recent decades has been the transformation of the city’s habourside from busy commercial dock to an attractive development filled with restaurants, bars, shops and a range of cheap hotels in Bristol to suit every visitors pocket . Key attractions to look out for include Explore-At-Bristol, The Hippodrome, Bristol City Football Club and the Watershed Media Centre. Hop on a Bristol Ferry for a great way to see the harbour and extended city boundaries from a different perspective, with stops at key points along the waters’ edge.

Or why not take a pleasant stroll up Park Street towards Clifton village with a great selection of boutique clothing stores, classy restaurants and budget hotel chains for all. For something a little different, why not pay a visit to Bristol Zoo Gardens, with over 450 rare and endangered species and plenty of activities for kids of all ages.

Costa Rica, one of the most picturesque locations in all of the world, is now gaining a reputation as not only the ideal vacation spot, but also the perfect place to retire as more and more people are discovering what’s long been known as the “Jewel of Central America.”

In addition to its close proximity to the United States, it is home to a warm climate and offers plenty of natural beauty, not to mention the ability to enjoy a high standard of living at a relatively low cost.

Costa Rica’s low cost of living is a fraction of the price it is in other countries, the U.S. in particular. For example, household items and utilities are as much as 70% lower and although the cost of housing has risen steadily in recent years in Costa Rica, in comparison, real estate is still far more reasonable than it is in the States.

A small, basic home might average $60,000 to $70,000 while at the other end of the spectrum, there are also multimillion dollar estates and luxurious mansions to be had.

Yet another attractive benefit in terms of finances for those retiring in Costa Rica from the United States are no income taxes on social security benefits as well as no taxes on capital gains.

Thanks to the constitution and laws of Costa Rica, foreign nationals enjoy the same rights as the country’s citizens. This, coupled with the stable, democratic government in place since the late 1940s, gives retirees the opportunity to have peace of mind while living in a tropical like environment.

Even those people seeking a less humid, cooler climate have the choice of living in San Jose and in the Central Valley area where year round temperatures average in the 80s during the days and a balmy 70s or 60s in the evenings. Heating and air conditioning are usually both unnecessary and many homes are not even equipped with furnaces.

The population of roughly four million residents enjoy a slower paced lifestyle, along with excellent health insurance, a rather alluring benefit for those about to retire soon. Ranked by the United Nations as having the best health care services in Latin America and amongst the top 20 throughout the world, Costa Rica offers health insurance through its government that covers 80% of medical costs.

This relatively small land, roughly 32,000 square miles, also boasts one of the highest literacy rates of any country, an impressive 95%, along with one of the longest life expectancy rates, an average of 77 years. Ticos, or the native people of Costa Rica are also known for their friendly, helping nature and the country continues to enjoy a low violent crime rate.

Besides all of the gorgeous scenery, there’s plenty to do in with its collection of national parks and beaches along with a variety of cultural events to experience.

If you have ever dreamed of living in a picturesque, tranquil place far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, retiring to Costa Rica and discovering its many hidden treasures may be worth seriously considering.

The summer holiday planning season is with us again and many thousands of us will be jetting off to far flung corners of the globe to lie on a tropical beach and soak up the sun, to trek through some of world’s most beautiful wilderness countryside, to see some of the architectural wonders of the world or to simply explore new countries and cultures. And, unfortunately, many thousands of us will find the first few days of our vacation will also see us trying to recover from the effects of jet lag.

But is jet lag an inevitable part of modern long-haul travel?

The answer to this question depends very much on where you are flying to. If you start your journey in Sydney, Australia and fly to Tokyo, Japan then you will not experience any jet lag symptoms at all because, even though you are flying some 7,000 miles, your journey essentially takes you due north so that your starting point and destination lie in the same time zone. However, if you fly from Sydney to London, England then you will fly east to west across ten standard time zones and you will certainly experience jet lag.

Jet lag is really nothing more than the result of your own internal body clock being out of synchronization with local time and, while your body clock can adjust itself to come into line with local time, adjusting your body clock takes time.

If you fly across just two or three time zones then the time difference experienced is small enough that you probably will not really notice it greatly and your internal clock will adjust quite quickly. However, if you fly across four or more time zones then the difference will be noticeable and your body clock will take longer and longer to adjust as you cross more and more time zones.

In our example of flying from Sydney to London your body clock will take several days to adjust itself fully and, in the meantime, you are likely to find yourself suffering from insomnia, finding it difficult to get to sleep at night and to get up in the morning, feeling tired during the day, possibly experiencing difficulty in eating with nausea, stomach upset, a feeling of dehydration, a headache, and much more.

So what can be done?

There are a whole variety of ‘traditional’ remedies for jet lag including diets, formulas, over-the-counter medication, sleeping pills, melatonin and others and each has its supporters and detractors, but are these ‘traditional’ remedies the answer?

The simple answer to this question is no. These ‘traditional’ remedies do not work and, in some cases, will actually make your jet lag worse.

Jet lag treatment is not a matter of pills and formulas, but requires you to devise a plan centered on your specific travel plans and lifestyle which allows you to assist your body’s natural process of adjusting its own internal body clock. This means taking a series of steps in preparation for your journey, as well as during your flight and at your destination. In some cases these will be enough to help you avoid jet lag altogether and, in others, they will certainly help to reduce the effects of jet lag considerably.
