Boat Timeshares - A Unique Vacationing Experience

Written by Dana Sanders

Continued from page 1

For those who lack repparttar skills to man their own vessels, many boat timeshares will provide a crew including a captain, instructor, and/or cook at a small additional cost. One company in particular, Trade Winds Cruise Club, offers all-inclusive cabin rentals and is RCI’s (Resorts Condominiums International) only Caribbean yachting affiliate. As an RCI Member, you have repparttar 133888 option of exchanging your timeshare week for a cabin space onboard crewed catamaran charters.

So, what is pricing like for these nautical adventures? Not bad considering a luxury boat can cost thousands and thousands of dollars. And even better when you consider buying your own boat doesn’t include fuel, maintenance, licensing and insurance costs and so on! A timeshare that covers an entire boating season can cost upwards of $7,000, a reasonable expense considering repparttar 133889 headaches removed by taking part in such a venture.

To learn more about boat timeshares and repparttar 133890 unique vacation opportunities they provide, just log on to repparttar 133891 Internet and visit locations such as http://www.atimesharesz.com/boattimeshare to do a thorough search.

Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica

Continued from page 1
groups were told to hold hands forming a human chain up repparttar

falls. This was suppose to make things safer but as we witnessed, this method of going up repparttar 133887

falls is not a guarantee against falling. We saw a woman let go and she fell down repparttar 133888

rocks during one of repparttar 133889

steeper sections. She wasn't badly hurt but we imagined that she sustained some nice bruises. There are various points along repparttar 133890

falls where you could get off repparttar 133891

falls and back on repparttar 133892

stairs to walk up repparttar 133893

rest of

way. Not everyone there attempted to climb repparttar 133895

falls as many were happy to just walk dry along repparttar 133896

side on

stairs. We chose not to go with any of repparttar 133898

groups which tend to go up repparttar 133899

left side of repparttar 133900

falls. We made our way up on our own mostly on repparttar 133901

right side. With some breaks for photos, we made it all repparttar 133902

way up

falls in about 30 minutes. Going with a group would have taken longer for sure. The water is a bit cool and if you have a wetsuit, it is highly suggested that you wear it for repparttar 133904

climb. Cameras used there up repparttar 133905

falls are also recommended to be water resistant since they likely will get wet. We left our digital camera on repparttar 133906

ship and took one of those $25 underwater cameras.

After climbing repparttar 133907 falls, we headed back down to repparttar 133908 relatively small but uncrowded beach where repparttar 133909 ocean water was warmer until it was time to depart. The exit back at repparttar 133910 top of repparttar 133911 falls was strategically located at repparttar 133912 end of a market so we did have to go through some locals who tried to sell us their souveniers. These locals who worked inside repparttar 133913 Dunn's site were hustling but not as aggressively as those in repparttar 133914 town of Ocho Rios. The shuttlebus arrived at repparttar 133915 site parking lot on time as agreed. The total amount we spent including repparttar 133916 park admission and repparttar 133917 shuttle was $31 US for repparttar 133918 two of us. Taking an organized tour through repparttar 133919 cruiseship would have cost more than double this amount. So it is quite possible to tour Dunn's River Falls on your own rather than take repparttar 133920 more expensive tours. We were glad that we did see Dunn's River Falls but we thought that it was not nearly as impressive as depicted on photos in travel brochures.
