Planning For A Romantic Vacation

This is the holiday season and with all the work piling up, I haven't had time to plan for a vacation. In any case, I am still going to clear my leave in another week's time. I was just browsing the net recently and came across several interesting vacation offers.

What impresses most is the romantic vacations in Jamaica... been a while since I went anywhere romantic with my wife. When we married, we joined a group tour which actually organized caribbean weddings and we really enjoyed our stay in jamaica all inclusive resort.

I will share some of my tips tips to plan for a romantic vacation here:

1. Check the weather and the high season, so that you are not caught in the rainy or snowy season!

2. Passports. If you don't already hav them, you'll have to spoil at least that much of the surprise so your partner gets one or renews it.

3. Be sure everybody has taken leave before you book the trip. Else it could be a huge disappointment to forgo the trip at the last minute.

4. Make childcare arrangements if necessary, and make sure your partner won't worry about the kids. If there's one main romantic vacation spoiler, it's worrying about the kids!

5. Accommodate for checks and/or credit cards, foreign currencies if necessary, appropriate clothes, and other things you'll need on the trip.

6. Take along your "tools of the trade," or know where you can buy them. These are things like candles, lingerie, massage oil, a CD of love songs and a portable CD player, fancy clothes if you need them, etc.

It can be fun to plan a romantic vacation for your partner. And it can be even more fun to plan one together. No matter which one you choose, do have fun, and enjoy the trip!

William Gallas Stripped Of Captaincy

Arsenal vs Manchester City. This should be an easy match in normal circumstances but seeing how the Gunners capitulated against Aston Villa 0-2, I am not so sure of their chances. It was all the more disappointing after a confidence-boosting win over Manchester United and a rousing victory by the reserves in the Carling Cup.

Even Arsene Wenger, who rarely gives the other team credit, admitted that Villa deserved to win. Hopefully, Wenger can solve Arsenal’s defensive breakdowns and inability to generate consistent pressure on the opposing team.

Right now that Arsenal is in a bit of a crisis, losing four games in their first 13 matches, I am glad William Gallas has been stripped of the captaincy and he is not likely to feature against Manchester City. Well, Gallas was never a popular choice for me.

Arsenal must rebound with a victory against City, else they’ll risk falling even further off the pace. Losing Theo Walcott to a shoulder injury, and not having the suspended Cesc Fabregas will compromise their position, but Emmanuel Adebayor is back.

Manchester City would love to have Arsenal’s problems. Despite spending millions on Robinho, Vincent Kompany, Jo, and Shaun Wright Phillips, the club has been in a free-fall. City have not won since October 26, and have lost 5 out of their last 8 matches, including losses to Wigan, Bolton, and Middlesbrough, as well as blowing a late lead against Liverpool.

Mark Hughes got the vote of confidence from the board, but it doesn't mean much. Manchester City desperately need a good result here, or else they they’ll have to start worrying about relegation (they’re only 3 points clear of last place West Brom).

Aston Villa vs Manchester United Preview

Much has been said about it being too early to be out of the title race in November, mostly in relation to Arsenal. I argue that while mathematically that may be true, if you look at the recent history of points required to win the PL and points gaps that have been bridged, there are positions you can find yourself in that suggest it is very unlikely you can overcome the deficit, even if still only in November.

I suggested two weeks ago that the Man Utd game was a must win for Arsenal if they were to stay in the race and they duly delivered, only to put themselves out of contention with a loss at home to Villa last week.

The stats I used were the following (now updated for the Villa game): With 16 points dropped in their first 13 games, and assuming that you need a minimum of 86 points to win the title, Arsenal can only afford to drop 12 points in their remaining 25 games to have any realistic hope of lifting the title.

That would be 20 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Based on their form so far this season you would have to say that’s too big an ask. But enough about Arsenal, what of this weekend? With Chelsea at home to Newcastle and Liverpool hosting Fulham you would have to expect that the top two will record maximum points, all of which means that the Utd/Villa game is a huge fixture, particularly for Utd.

Liverpool 2-0 Bolton

If recent Premier League results are anything to go by, long-deprived Liverpool fans could finally celebrate a bountiful year of prestigious titles. More importantly, it is to fill the trophy cabinet with their first Premier League title since 1990.

In a refreshing change this season, Benitez has refrained from tinkering with his squad - the rotation policy was discarded in favor of keeping the team spine together and results so far have been favorable.

Liverpool maintained pressure on their rivals with a 2-0 victory over Bolton at Reebok Stadium on Saturday. It was actually more sweat than inspiration and Bolton aided the chore with their insipid performance.

The match started off with a dominant Liverpool, intent to show that the midweek defeat by Tottenham in the Carling Cup was no major setback.

Keep The Sun Away

Well, it is going to be here soon enough! And I guess many people will be hitting the beach, especially teenagers! I remember when I was a teenager, my mom will always tell me to remember to leave home with a bottle of sunscreen. Well, I did leave home with it but I never used it. I did not like the icky feel on my skin!

Back then, I was not lucky enough to be able to find a sunscreen product that I like enough to use. Teenagers nowadays have this new range of sunscreen product that is NOT bottles of chemicals, thanks to Screen, Inc.

These products were created by two ladies who felt the void in the sunscreen product market and that teenagers were neglected without proper sunscreen protection for them. The good news is that even the Skin Cancer Foundation has approved these products to be safe for use on skin!

I was told that this sunscreen s as natural as could be. If you have a teenager, or two, at home, you may want to get some of these!

With all the outdoor agility we do we are always looking for ways to protect our skin. Mum uses cool coats on me to keep me cool, and keeps me out of the sun in our shade tent as much as possible. But she's out there walking courses, checking results, building courses in between our runs, so she gets exposed to the sun a lot more than I do.

Sometimes putting sunscreen on your face can be pretty yucky and greasy. So getting one that stays on, but doesn't feel like grease paint is really important to Mum. And when she is out in the wind and the sun she has to protect her lips too. Screen, Inc. has products on the market that really fit the bill and are made just for the face and lips.

Their products have been dermatologist-approved. And their have received the coveted Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Beckham says he's fit for England selection

David Beckham has said he is fit and ready to play for England next week despite having no competitive action since November.

New coach Fabio Capello will name his first squad on Saturday for next Wednesday's friendly against Switzerland and Beckham hopes to have the chance to win his 100th cap.

"I'm as fit as I can be. I'm fit and sharp and I'm ready to be selected," the 32-year-old former England captain, now playing for LA Galaxy, told the BBC.

Beckham has not played for Galaxy since October and his last competitive game was when he came on as a substitute for England in their 3-2 defeat by Croatia at Wembley on November 21.

However, he has been training with Arsenal and believes he is ready if selected. "I have been training with one of the fittest teams in Europe, I've done everything possible to be fit and I am without doubt ready for it, but it's out of my hands now," he said.

Newspapers have speculated this week that Capello, who left Beckham out of the Real Madrid while he was in charge of the Spanish club, might not pick the midfielder.
