Do you know a good beach destinations site?

January 29, 2012 - 2:07 am 5 Comments

I’m planning a beach vacation with my wife and I have a couple of places in mind.
The one thing I am sure is that I want to go to a paradise beach and my hotel has to be on the beach – probably all inclusive… I want complete relaxation.

So far I didn’t come across to a good beach destinations site… Any suggestions?

Thanks!

sri lanka is a nice place to travel. Because there are lots of thing and places to watch in a small island,if you gone a start from Colombo u can travel to any direction in around two,three hours by a vehicle.

Major tourist attractions are focused around the islands famous beaches located in the southern and eastern parts of the country. Ancient heritage sites located in the interior of the country and lush green resorts located in the mountainous regions of the country.

There are manyNational Parks you can visit in Sri Lanka. Yala is the largest national park.

Also Pinnawala Elhipant Opernage famous residents such as the three-legged elephant, Sama, who stood on a land mine, and a blind elephant, Raja. The orphanage population is constantly augmented by new arrival Born Free in captivity: about one elephant is born here every year. The successful captive breeding project had so far produced 22 second generation births.

Is Atlantic city beach safe and which part is the safest?

January 24, 2012 - 5:47 am 4 Comments

My family and I are planning on going to Atlantic City Beaches for this summer and we want to know if it is safe to spend time there. If so, which part of the Atlantic City Beach is safe. One of my co-worker told me that only certain part of the Atlantic Beach is safe and others are run down part of black communities that you may get robbed or hurt like the Ocean city beaches. Is that true?

If you want to be safe, stay in one of the Casinos on the board walk, weekdays they are not expensive.Trump taj mahal, bally’s, showboat, Ceasars etc are just some that you can stay in.

Check the websites for prices. The beaches are safe and if you stay on the boardwalk in front of the hotels during the day and stay in the hotels at night where there are tons of things to do in the casinos besides gambling. If you want to travel from one casino to the other there is a small bus called a Jitney which takes you from one casino to another for a small price.

During the day besides the beach there is a very nice outlet mall across from Ceasars hotel , within walking distance which is fine during the day with great stores

We go there every summer and as long as you are cautious and stay in or around the casinos you should be fine.

What do different Europeans wear in beach cities?

December 28, 2011 - 9:35 pm 2 Comments

I am wondering what the trends are in different European cities. What do young people wear on the beach, while walking around beach-front shops and restaurants, on the boardwalk (if they have those?) and around town in European beach cities? Thanks.

well, depends what european country you referred to. there are different styles, eg. in france(south of it) women tan topless and then when they go for a drink or eat something they would put the top or wear pareo. if you go swimming, you will very often see them topless too. in begium for example girls tan topless but not as often as in france. in italy- just a swimsuit, not too many topless. the same with adriatic or black or baltic sea.

How to keep beach waves looking fresh for a week without using too many products?

December 17, 2011 - 7:54 pm 1 Comment

How do I create beach waves in my hair and have it last all week and still looking fresh? My hair is naturally curly and I usually straighten it and I don’t want to have to use the curling iron on my hair everyday because I don’t want to severely damage it. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

roll your wet hair , make buns always… no chemical method, its natural… wherever you go or what ever you do… make hair buns!!! after weeks or months, it’ll be wavy even after you shampoo your hair:-)

How do I connect my turtle beach and my xbox to a computer monitor?

November 30, 2011 - 4:28 am 1 Comment

I have turtle beach px21 and I have a VGA cable that connects to my xbox 360 and samsung 23 inch led monitor. My monitor has a dvi and rgb port. I don’t know how to connect my turtle beaches though. I don’t know where to plug my red and white cord from my turtle beaches and the red and white cord from a VGA cable for my xbox 360.

You don’t need to connect the headset to the monitor at all. That’s only if you want the game sound on the monitor speakers. Since you didn’t have your XBOX connected to the monitor in the first place, then you can skip connecting the headset to the monitor and just connect it to the XBOX with the white and red RCA jacks.

How to make a cartoon girl at the beach with a beach bag on Photoshop?

August 20, 2011 - 2:10 am 1 Comment

My mom’s friend wanted me to make an image of a cartoon girl at the beach with a beach bag on her in Photoshop. I really need help. Do i just draw and scan the picture, and trace in illustrator? Or is there an easier way?

Please and thanks!

An easier way is to draw directly onto Photoshop using a graphics tablet but each artist is different. Some find it easier to draw on paper and scan it in onto Photoshop.

SAMPLE:

If you’re scanning a drawing onto Photoshop, you could use Photoshop’s pen tool instead of Illustrator.

SAMPLE:

But, if you’re drawing a picture and your mom wants it scale-able without destroying the pixels, you should do it in Illustrator.

What you could also do is get some reference images online and patch it all up in Photoshop but I don’t recommend this because the artist/photographer who owns the photo might not allow you to use his work for commercial use (if you’re doing something for commercial use)

what is a good beach for a weekend getaway in southern california?

August 10, 2011 - 8:25 pm 2 Comments

My friends and I are planning a weekend at a beach next week and we’ve already been to the more popular ones this summer such as Newport, huntington, and Santa Monica.
Is there a beach with great sand, good nightlife, great shopping, lots of activities to do, etc.. ?
We live in orange county so our range is from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

Thanks

= Huntington Beach – great shops and restaurants, a pier, a surf contest every year, and I’m pretty sure there are pits… if not, about a couples miles up to Bolsa Chica beach there are.
