THE happy memories

I actually need some towing services right now for this vehicle that has always been parked right in front of the gate of the apartment building. Where can I find one? Okay I remember that roadside assistance club that covers services such as RV towing, emergency and urgent towing like the one that I need right now. Their services are actually for those that need towing services when they experience an emergeny like a breakdown of your RV and family vehicles on the road. As my little boy would put it, they are gonna rescue you! They are the number one road service choice for RVers after all. So it’s important to know who to call when you need emergency towing services.

One of the neighbors went off to a little family vacation in a mountain resort far south for the weekend and they left a little while ago with their kids. I saw they brought along the kids’ bikes which were just tied on the roof of their car. They have to go slow on that but they plan to use the diversion road. Thinking again of their bikes tied to the car maybe it would be great if they had that thule roof rack or any of those auto roof racks, bike racks or adventure travel gear on top of their car to hold those bikes securely as they travel.

The last thing they need in this short family vacation is any incident on the road involving the bikes falling off just in case just like what a happened a few years ago where the rope got loose when they were on a road trip too. Good thing they saw that before anything happened on the road when they stopped at a gasoline station to refuel.

Now they must have reached their vacation destination. Makes me think the boys and I need to go off to a short vacation ourselves and I want to be some where that i can also bring my bike. Hmmm got to think of some place to go.

When you think of cruises, you probably imagine the open ocean, spas and dining with the captain. You probably don’t think of disaster relief. But because of the international nature of the cruise industry, it is ideally situated to respond to worldwide catastrophe, and it often does in ways that integrate tourism and aid.

Cruise ships headed to areas affected by disaster often carry disaster relief direct to the ports. Relief supplies, including clothing, blankets, water, hygiene products, non-perishable food stores, and medical supplies can be shipped in cruise ships to a nearby port and then distributed to areas of need. Cruise lines often play an active part in gathering these supplies from their home ports by inviting those not affected by disaster to drop off donations at the offices of the cruise company or of local charitable organizations.
