The last time I went to Adirondack was in the summer, when everyone else was still holed up in downtown New York or slathering sunscreens in the nude at the Miami Beach. I'm a heights person, so I pick the safest mountains and hills to hike in mid-spring until early summer. Adirondack mountains is a hit among our group of mountain climbers. We can afford lots of things, including a stay at the motel Cascade Inn for several days or weeks.
Monday, April 23. 2007
 At Adirondack, you got two nice mountains and one great motel. No, I'm definitely not alluding to buxom ladies and some action up there, but of the Whiteface Mountain, Mt. Van Hoevenberg and Cascade Inn. These places are extremely special, as they transform from moist, luscious green in the summer to chilly white in winter. Ski jumpers frequent Mt. Van Hoevenberg, and I tell you this is where exactly you could spot the buxom beauties as well as the Olympic skiers camouflaged in thick minks and hot spandex.

At the end of the day, there's Cascade Inn where the incredible sights, sounds, tastes and smells (Adirondack resto) are major bonuses. You got the nice double-bed rooms with thermostats, cable TV, and baths. Down at the resto, you could hang around for steak or an Italian dish. I hear they also offer golf packages that also include lodging and breakfast. This motel is absolutely smashing. When I go on a good hiking expedition early in the morning, I could see a great view of sparkling Lake Placid, which is one reason I was at Adirondacks in the first place.

 I was watching Bridges Jones's Diary: The Edge Of Reason last night and there was this scene where Renee Zellweger's character was caught with cocaine in the airport when she went for an Asian beach vacation. She had no idea about the illegal drugs but she got detained for several days. It was very alarming for me since I travel a lot. Anybody can just slip it in your pocket or in your bag without you noticing it you'll be spending your vacation in a cell block.
You should always look after you things when you travel. Pack your luggage yourself and make sure it is locked and never leave it unattended. Also keep an eye on your children’s backpacks, toys and stuffed animals because someone could slip drugs inside without you knowing. Do not carry parcels, gifts, or luggage for other people across borders or through customs no matter what happens. Choose your traveling companions carefully because if they turn out to be carrying, using, or selling illegal drugs, you could be charged by association. Do not ever cross a border with a hitchhiker or as a hitchhiker. It pays to ask local authorities, a travel agent, or hotel staff which areas are unsafe. You could be attacked or arrested if dealers are nearby and it’s assumed you are carrying or selling drugs, and always have an updated map with you.

 Are you going on a vacation out in the beach or just some place where you can relax and unwind? What are the things you should bear in mind without having to worry too much? Well Just follow this simple steps because the out-of-towns doesn't have to be such a burden.
Just carry minimum luggage, then label each piece of luggage with your name and address. Be sure your luggage can be locked and keep them close to you while waiting. Hold your purse under your arm and carry your wallet in an inside coat or front trouser pocket. Do not appear vulnerable or lost. Just walk with a purpose and stay alert to what's happening around you. Leave your social security and credit/debit cards at home. If you are traveling to a foreign country, photocopy all documents, including passport, credit cards and tickets, before leaving home and store copies in a hotel safe. Familiarize yourself with the location of hotel exits. You can ask the hotel about the safety of the neighborhood and which areas to avoid and the bellman for directions and costs before taking a cab. And whenever possible, use traveler's checks and credit cards instead of cash.

When we travel for either business or pleasure, there are times when we have to stay overnight in a motel. You will be sleeping at night on a foreign room, that's why it is very much important that you check first the security facilities of your chosen motel. A very expensive room does not tantamount to a good security. Consider some of these tips when you spend a night in a motel.
Higher rooms and those not adjacent to fire stairs are much safer from room invaders due to the room's difficulty of access to unwanted visitors. Choose room doors made of solid-core wood or metal, has self-closing and self-locking features, and a wide-angle peephole to see who's knocking before you open it. Be aware of other entry point like windows and sliding doors and make sure they are very secure, especially if they lead to a balcony where someone can climb and enter your room.
For women traveling alone or with small children, always make sure that you are escorted a car valet service in the parking lot, and by a bellman to your room. Tip them for their effort, though. Placing a Do-Not-Disturb sign even when you're out can deter room burglars. Leaving the TV or radio on loud enough for someone to hear or just one light will make the room look occupied. Remember, security should not be a compromise.

 There are people who are afraid of air travel. They would rather suffer long and arduous travel by land or by water than to ride on an airplane. They are not convinced by the statistics that air travel is still the safest way to travel. These people would rather drive for days in a cross-country journey just to avoid traveling by airplane. On the other hand, there are also people who really need to travel by land even on a cross-country journey. Truck drivers, bus drivers, and other professionals really need to travel by land.
People who travel by land are the main reason why motels are thriving businesses. Motels are commonly located along national highways and rural communities as well as cities. Motels offer easy access for motorists. These lodging places may not offer gourmet food recipes, but they are convenient and affordable places to rest. Motels have the basic amenities of suites or rooms with cable television, bathroom, and room service. Motel lodgings are temporary retreats of weary travelers. Most motels may not have elegant restaurants and bars, but they offer countryside brand of hospitality.

 Motels are the choice of budget-conscious individuals who are planning to stay in a place for a night or for days.
Motels are ideal for those who just want to spend the night in a place because it's cheaper and it's not much of a hassle when you ask for a room. They won't require you to have a reservation as long as there's a room free. Pay and sleep, that's how it works.
They are ideal for those who are on long road trips and want to get a shut eye before driving off again in the morning.
Motels are also perfect for those planning to stay in a location for days or couple of weeks. It will cost less and visitors can directly go to your room when you invite them in. In hotels, your visitors might have to stay at the lobby or you have to check with your concierge if it's okay for your visitor to come into your room.
When in a motel, do not worry about security. Hollywood just made a lot of bad stories about motels and almost none of it is true. Safe motels hire security guards to check up on their clients.
Cleanliness is also always checked in motels, just like in all expensive hotels.
Plus, these accommodations are way cheaper than going into hotels.

Andy's Motel, located in 8101 Surf Drive,Panama City Beach, FL looked like a decent place to crash for the night. After all, it looked like a decent enough place on the net, right?
Well, no. The room I got was different from what I saw on the screen. The one I saw online was nice. This room...Well, not so nice. A lot of rust spots abound, and the elevator smelled...funny. The pool wasn't as big as I expected, and their policy of paying a non-refundable one-night deposit up front just smacks of taking poor shmucks for a ride.
This motel is very disappointing. It might be good enough for some frat boys out for a vacation, but not for much else. Not a place to go to for family accomodations. Andy's Motel staff had better learn truth in advertising soon.

Why do motels get such a bad rap?
Is it because Norman Bates ran one? Or that a motel is a run-down, flea-bitten hellhole frequented by the seedy underbelly of society? You can thank Hollywood for that image.
Admittedly, there are a few dilapidated motels out there, and they could use a facelift with a wrecking ball. But that's no reason to give all of them a bad rap. I've stayed in motels before, and they aren't bad at all. In fact, some could give hotels a run for their money.
So whenever you're traveling cross-country...give these motor ho tels a chance. I think you'll be plesantly surprised.
