I wouldn’t go anywhere unless I know what it’s going to cost me. It’s not that I’m cheap or something but it’s always better to keep everything planned for the good. Keeping that in mind I started doing my research on the internet and confronted a cool website that gives you an estimate on how much it would cost you to drive in your car from one place to another.

CostToDrive is a free gas cost calculator for driving within the United States. This website is very useful to help budget out for time and gas costs before you’re next trip.

To get started, simply enter your destinations and select the type of car you will be driving and click “My cost to drive” and you will get the desired results as shown in the image below.

You should know what is Phuket, everyone does nowadays! It is a magical picturesque Thai island in the Indian Ocean.

There are so many things to do in Phuket. Note only some of them: Phuket City and Patong beach. And observe carefully in Phuket two amazing phenomena: the large number of expats marrying Thai women and the large number of ladyboys (everyone calls them like this. An accurate translation is the English would be transgender. They are so many because of the permissive environment and religion in Phuket and in all Thailand. Beware the ladyboys, many of them are notorious pocket thieves!).

But Phuket is really a paradise on Earth and a major destination for millions of tourists coming from U.S., Europe, Australia and Japan. Today Phuket seems to be completely recovered after the devastating Tsunami from 2004, and the tourism is booming again. Tourism is actually the main income source for Phuket; other people on Phuket earn their existence from rubber plantations and tin.

In the beautiful old city of Cusco, Peru, an immense fortress was built by huge stone blocks weighing upto 300 tons. There isn’t any such record on how these stones were actually cut and moved to put into that place. These stones are so well placed that some of them won’t even let a single piece of paper come between them.

Saksaq Waman is an ancient Inca ruin at an altitude of 3,701 meters and it is walled with mystery near Cusco.  “A good example of Inca stonework at Sacsayhuamán, Peru. They cut and hauled huge stones to make walls like this, and fit them together — without mortar! — so tightly that you coudn’t get a knife-tip or a piece of paper between them. Solid enough to have survived tremendous earthquakes.”

Just confronted an excellent website that allows you to view hotel reviews and ratings as they are written by actual visitors. It provides a great deal of information to all users and covers everything from hotel availability to prices.

You can view these hotels by categorizing them by popularity, most recommended or by price to fit in to your budget. You can also compare your needs and the reviewer’s requirements and decide accordingly if the review is from your perspective.

Another big attraction is the powerful search engine that lets you select hotels and city from the auto recommendation from the website. For example if I choose to stay in New York for a while, all I have to do is enter “New York” and it will come up with it’s recommendations. You can then view hotel details or go back to view full listings.

Dakar is the capital city of Senegal and the westernmost city of Africa. It has a long history and counts nowadays 1 500 000 inhabitants. Also, not a very big city comparing to other African metropolis, like Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Cape Town.

But a very nice one city is Dakar for sure. In some neighborhoods Dakar still keeps the flavour of the colonial times, in other the genuine smell and flavor of the African way of life. You can visit in Dakar the outskirts of Saint Louis (former capital of the French West Africa) and Medina (African life at its best).

Dakar, due to its excellent position, developed itself to one of the biggest and most important African harbors. Visiting the harbor is quite an experience which you may not miss while visiting Dakar, because is huge, impressive and interesting.

Breaking news: A Boeing 747 plane from Turkish crashed on the Amsterdam’s airport, Schiphol, just minutes ago.
In the plane there were 134 people, and more than fifty are now receiving care at the Spaarne hospital for their injuries.
Unfortunately, nine people were not as lucky and left this world for their final journey, according to the airport director.

A witness told bbc

“The first people were just getting off the plane and they looked confused. There was a lot a dust, but no fire.”
