Oz Scapes

By Jerry Waxman

 You probably think I’m out of my mind for saying this when the world is looking at an economic meltdown, when people’s incomes are hitting the basement, and costs are climbing straight through that hole in the ozone layer. But I’m going to say it again:

“The Best Time to Travel is Right Now”

There are plenty of reasons for saying this.. Let’s start with one: a philosophical reason.

Have you ever heard people talk about the good old days? The truth is there never were “good old” days. Back in those good old days that people talk about their grandparents would reminisce about the “better, older days.”

The point is, if we think about it, there were always things that were better once. It would be wonderful to bring some of those things back, but it’s not likely that will ever happen.

So what’s this got to do with travel. Well, there were better times for travel. A lot of the things I write about, you just can’t do them anymore because conditions have changed. I suspect conditions will continue to change, and not entirely for the better.

So, there may be better times ahead for traveling - and I hope there will be. But don’t wait for them. Based on historical trends, the best time for travel is now.

Moral of the story: Don’t wait for better days. Start working on your dream right now.

Five Ways To Pass The Time
By Maxine Clarke

 Ever been placed in the situation where there is an incredible amount of time to kill and very little to keep you entertained? Perhaps on a flight or long car journey, waiting in hospital or even during a lunch break at work?

If so, you will be more than aware that trying to pass the time can be somewhat cumbersome and difficult. These periods may well be too long to simply sit them out, or too short to begin a task that may prove to be substantial. As such, in an effort to beat the boredom, this article provides just five suggestions for ways in which you can keep occupied, in this instance during a prolonged car journey.

Music

Undoubtedly one of the most popular inventions of the last decade, the iPod has gone on to spawn a host of imitators that enable music fans to transport virtually their entire music collection wherever they go. Little bigger than a mobile phone, time will surely fly as you scroll through thousands upon thousands of songs. In addition, with these portable entertainment systems also able to show video and connect to the internet, there should be no reason for boredom!

Games console

Remember the original Gameboy? Or perhaps the Sega Gamegear? In their prime, these games systems were among the cutting edge of technology, allowing parents to keep their young’uns occupied during journeys. Now, with the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP taking the standard of mobile gaming to another level, adults are themselves finding that these systems can break up the boredom of their own drawn-out journeys. What’s more, the PSP also allows films to be watched in high quality formats - something the Gameboy could never do!

Read

Not enough people are reading these days, or that’s how it seems. What better way is there for escapism than to bury your head into literature, either classic or modern, and while away a couple of hours of your time. Books are not easy to write, so give authors a break and pick up a copy of the latest read! Unless, of course, you are like me who finds it nigh-on impossible to read in a moving vehicle!

Su Doku

Who would’ve thought that the crossword would be usurped as the perfect mental challenge on journeys? And by an activity that involves - albeit somewhat tenuously - maths! The phenomenon that is Su Doku has become world-renowned as the ideal activity to stimulate your mind, and what better time to take part than during a boring car journey. Remember, however, to try and sit away from other travellers else they will try and ‘help’.

Conversation

Should none of the technology or materials detailed above be available, there is always the old favourite pastime of conversation. The old adage says that ‘conversation is a dying art’, so why not revive it and interact with those around you. Quite frankly, it’s the easiest way to pass the time, and one that needs the least effort. Well, that and sleeping, I suppose.
