You will love the warmth of the Irish people, many of whom have close relatives in the USA.  Find B&B s and stay on your budget as well as make lifelong friends!

Ireland is a very photogenic place, at every turn there is a scene worthy of capture.

You can even use a  EurRail pass here  and if you are also touring Great Britain and the European Continent you can take a Ferry to France, Wales and England all  part of the Rail Package.

Pubs are special centers of Irish entertainment.   (But, be prepared for their invitation for you to sing or entertain as well!)

Ireland is rich in culture and there are many castles, keeps, and stone forts to study and research.

Dublin is a must for anyone with a partying nature; especially in the Temple Bar area of the city.

Our Close Relationship to Water

Posted on May 3, 2012 by yBoggle

Water -our greatest resource - yboggle.com

Here are some interesting things to consider about water and how we relate to it.

More than the just naming Earth the Water Planet, Earthlings should be known throughout the Universe as the Water People!  God created us to mirror the type of planet He created for us. Consider this: the Earth is 2/3 water …and so are we Human Beings!  We are made up of between 65 and 75% water. To top that off, our blood has a salinity which is very similar to the salt content in our Oceans.  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.  Our lives revolve around having access to abundant water and clean air.

Yet when we look at the impoverished nations of our world, we consistently see they are trapped in arid and remote places where access to good, fresh water is totally lacking.

As Americans, often considered as the Richest People in the world in access to resources, we are realizing more and more that we need to spread our Blessing of Precious Water with those who lack it.

As a result we need to focus on assisting those in remote areas without wells or water filtration systems. Indeed, Mission Firefly.org, a Non-Profit Organization in Northern Alabama, is dedicated to filling that roll.  They have been working in remote regions of Guatemala caring for children and providing clean water for communities there.  A handful of NASA Engineers who are members of the group, have been trained to build and install Ozone Filtration Systems which can be put into nearly any impure water system to provide villages with pure water of a quality that it can be bottled and sold!  Mission Firefly sees their role as assisting primitive or under-privileged peoples in having water which can be the Blessing God meant for us all to have on The Water Planet!

Vacationing …The Bahamas

Posted on April 19, 2012 by yBoggle

Great are The Bahamas!

So close to the US, but you will feel like you are in an entirely different world …a world of light breezes, white sandy beaches, soft speaking locals who actually welcome you, moderate prices, and a totally relaxed Lifestyle.

The Bahamas are for everyman who cherishes calm beauty, charm at every corner, sumptuous dining, and relaxing at whichever island you choose. For those who enjoy “Games of Chance” and the High Life with lots of shows, fine restaurants, highrise hotels, and lots activities, you should probably chose the island of Nassau. There you have the bright lights and atmosphere charged with excitement. You can see sharks in the lagoon, casinos galore, experience water sports, water parks and lots of fun!                                                                 

For those seeking just quiet times, shopping, leisure meals of wonderful Caribbean seafood, sitting on the beach with friends and family, (or on a totally secluded spot), the choice could be Abacor, Bimini, Exhumas, or Grand Bahama.                         

For terrific value, many vacationers choose All-Inclusive Resorts, where the actual per day cost is very reasonable. These are locations of the highest caliber where literally every luxury is included in the price, so you can pamper yourselves with no concern about extra charges.

The Bahamas are a terrific destination for Americans especially because they are close by, just off Florida’s Eastern Coast. The are populated by a very friendly, English-speaking people without pretense. And vacationing there is a great value. An exotic family trip outside the United States becomes affordable and accessible. What more could the Savvy Traveler want?
