It might seem like a no-brainer, but before you go on vacation, pick up a good travel book about the destination. Travel books can help ensure that you get the most out of your vacation dollars. Take a look at the hotel section before you book your reservation to ensure that you’re not paying top dollar or to ensure that the hotel and price you have decided on is truly worth it.
5) Touts – avoid those. A tout is a person that invites you into shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels. In Third world countries they are a common annoyance.

So when asked to check out a shop you should politely decline the invitation.

Boeing (NYSE: BA) should be the recipient or better yet the beneficiary of the recent slide of Airbus. The credibility of EADS, who is the majority owner of Airbus, was questioned after the company reported substantial delays of their A380 super jumbo planes.

Now keep in mind that these delays may be contract breakers and Boeing could begin to receive a slew of orders for their tashkent latest plane that was created to compete with Airbus. The street liked what they heard and that pushed Boeing up $5.03 as it closed at $82.01 on Wednesday.

In retrospect I am amazed that I avoided worse diseases. The living conditions in rural uzbekistan are unsanitary, and half of the nationals who I met had, at one time or another, suffered from Hepatitis. In the bazaars and kitchens of homes and restaurants swarms of flies buzzed about, and rats scurried everywhere. For our protection, the Peace Corps medical staff inoculated us against a variety of diseases.
Stay away from meat products. Nu-uh uzbekistan news don’t go there. If so, partake only in the cleanest appearing restaurants in the big cities. Otherwise you’ll be making Jackson Pollock proud in the outhouse.
Getting There – You generally have two options for traveling to Nassau. You can either fly there or take a cruise or boat. For first timers we recommend taking a flight to the Lynden Pindling International Airport or a cruise ship that will dock at the Prince George Wharf. You may also take a Yacht from Miami however, we do not recommend this for people traveling for the first time. Book your flight or cruise ticket ahead of time to make sure you are prepared.
