10:52 am	West Coast's are one of the best travelling destination Interstate 5 (known to many as I-5 or "The 5") is the only interstate highway that runs from Mexico in the south all the way to Canada in the north. I-5, running 1,381 miles, passes through the states of California, Oregon and Washington along the way and serves millions of people and their commuting or traveling needs. Anyone who lives in or has done any traveling to these three states has probably spent at least some time on I-5. I-5 starts at the border with Mexico in the San Diego community of San Ysidro and heads north on its 796 mile trip through the State of California. The major cities it will pass through in California are San Diego, Santa Ana, Los Angeles, San Francisco (via I-580), Stockton, Sacramento, Redding, Mount Shasta City, Weed, and Yreka. After leaving San Diego, I-5 passes through more than 25 miles of Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps base. I-5 then technically becomes the Santa Ana Freeway as it heads north through Orange and Los Angeles Counties. When the freeway reaches approximately one mile east of downtown Los Angeles it turns into the Golden State Freeway. There is actually a four mile stretch of I-5 between the Santa Clarita Valley and Pyramid Lake that the northbound and southbound lanes separate and then invert so that the northbound lanes are on the left side of the freeway and the southbound lanes are on the right. I-5, still as the Golden State Freeway, then rises to cross the Tejachapi Mountains at Tejon Pass. After Tejon Pass, the freeway goes into a drastic descent from over 4,100 feet to 1,600 feet in the course of just 12 miles. At this point I-5 starts to move inland and away from large population centers, relying on adjacent highways to connect it to communities like Fresno, Bakersfield, and San Francisco. I-5 then continues north through Stockton and Sacramento before climbing to the base of Mount Shasta and eventually the Oregon border. From the time I-5 enters Oregon in the south until it leaves Oregon in the north, it is entirely an inland highway with no exposure to the pacific coast. It is just a few miles after entering the State of Oregon that I-5 climbs to it’s highest point, 4300 foot Siskiyou Summit. The freeway then plunges down the Rogue River Valley and passes communities like Ashland, Medford, and Grant’s Pass. I-5 continues north entering the Willamette River Valley and passing through Eugene. After leaving Eugene, the roadway passes nearby to Albany and Corvalis before going through the state capital of Oregon, Salem. I-5 continues north to the greater Portland metropolitan area and passes through the towns of Tualatin and Tigard before crossing the Willamette River on the Marquand Bridge in Portland itself. Portland is Oregon’s largest city and main metropolitan area. The freeway continues its drive through Portland and crosses the Columbia River into Washington State on the aptly named Interstate Bridge. (Comment on this)

11:45 am	How to book rooms for vacation 1. Research Source of Review If you are booking room don’t believe everything now a day. Some unscrupulous web-savvy hotel owners actually use Tripadvisor to self-promote their properties and rate them highly. If it sounds too good to be true, insepct the post carefully and see if the author has been an active forum contributor or is just a one-off contributor. 2. Read Testimonials from Other Travelers Sometimes, the best endorsement of a hotel comes from the guests who have stayed in it before. Read their testimonials to gain a better picture of the hotel you are planning to book. Look for pictures taken by people who have stayed there Every hotel looks nice on its website. Sites like Tripadvisor allow travellers to upload photos. If you prefer videos, head over to YouTube and search for the hotel's name using Youtube's search engine, you may come across videos uploaded by previous guests. 3. Cancellation Read the fine print for cancellation policies. Nothing in the world is free and there is a catch for capturing a super cheap deal. Similar to cheap flights, there is a high probability that cancellations will not be attended. Even a change in the booking may result in a forfeit of the deposit. In case in which you have strong reasons to make booking changes or cancellations, keep persisting when asking for refunds. Hound them using email or phone. Be prepared for longer response times as online travel booking websites may not have the bandwidth to response to customers' requests due to heavy traffic. (Comment on this)

11:39 am	Get wild life adventurs at very low cost The good news is that some wild adventures aren't expensive or in far-away places. There is plenty of fun and excitement near home, if you look. My Dirtbagging Adventure What is dirtbagging? It is simply stripping camping or backpacking down to its essentials. You throw some things in any old pack or duffel bag, and get out there. Forget the extensive planning or fancy equipment. Leave extra clothes behind, sleep in a pile of leaves or next to a fire, and use your wits instead of your wallet for a change. For example, my own dirtbagging trip started with a bus ride near Traverse City, Michigan (where I lived at the time), to the end of the line. I pushed the rubber tube ahead of me onto the bus, and the driver looked at that and at my small day pack with a laugh. I got off the bus in a wooded area, then walked another half-mile to get to the Boardman River, where the road crossed it. I had a homemade plastic bivy sack, a small umbrella, some snacks, and a few warm things to wear to bed instead of using a sleeping bag. I kept everything in a bundle on my lap as I floated down the river sitting in the inner tube, my butt and my feet in the water the whole time. I steered as necessary with my hands. As evening approached, the trout surfaced everywhere. I watched deer jump back from the riverbank as I floated past. Prehistoric-looking blue herons hunted for fish along the edges of the river. I feasted on wild strawberries and other wild plants whenever I took a break. I didn't need to paddle much, instead just going with the flow of the river, relaxing, and even closing my eyes for a few minutes during the calmer stretches. But the trip still had the element of unpredictability, and thus adventure. The first unpredictable event was the rain. It started when I set up camp, and continued for the next twelve hours. I barely stayed dry in my garbage bag bivy sack, covering my head with my small umbrella. The next unpredictable event was a large white-tail deer that almost stepped on me in darkness. His snorting scared me half to death. When morning came, it was still raining. It was a thunderstorm, actually, and I might have waited, but unlike a tent, a plastic bivy sack doesn't have enough space to do anything. I decided it was time to go home, so I bundled up my things, got into the cold river, and climbed onto the tube. The storm got worse. I was soon past the wild stretch of river, and I began to drift by beautiful homes that sat along the banks. I was on my tube, wearing a heavy sweater, umbrella overhead, trying to stay warm and dry. Dawn came late because of the storm, and I watched people drinking their morning coffee through the windows of lighted kitchens. Occasionally, some looked up from their breakfast and saw me in a flash of lightning. I waved and floated by. Not wanting to put my hands into the icy water, I quickly learned how to steer through the rapids using only my feet as paddles. I portaged around a dam, through knee-deep mud that nearly took one of my shoes. Finally, just before noon, I scrambled up the steep bank near the house. I walked down the street in the rain, carrying my umbrella, my pack, and my rubber tube, hoping the neighbors were still asleep. Other Wild Adventures My friends and I used to drive to a big river an hour away, park the car, and hike upstream for an hour or more. We would then build a raft of dead trees and float back to the car on it, which sometimes involved falling off and chasing the raft. These trips were named "Tom Sawyer Day," and I even did one trip where I took my bicycle twenty miles down the river on a homemade raft, through the Manistee National Forest. (Comment on this)
