I live in Washington State and my man and me are in much need of a little vacation/road trip?

What are some fun places to go and relax? Maybe camping or something?

Costa Blanca is One of the Healthiest Areas of the World in Which to Live

The World Health Organisation has confirmed what many people had believed for years, namely that the Costa Blanca is one of the healthiest areas of the world in which to live. This isn’t surprising to those people who know the region. The Costa Blanca has an excellent year-round climate. The humidity is relatively low, and therefore ideal for sufferers of arthritis and other climatically influenced health problems.

The Costa Blanca area of Spain is one of the wealthiest in the country. Tourism earns considerable returns for the locals and property prices reflect the number of British and other northern Europeans who buy a second home in this tempting area, in particular around Torrevieja. The weather has a lot to do with this. The sun is said to shine 320 days a year. The area is famous for its beaches and golf courses (the Villamartin golf course hosted the 1994 Mediterranean Open) but the region has much more to offer.

The landscape of the Northern Costa Blanca, contrasts significantly with the tourist areas to the South of Alicante, with high peaks and breathtaking mountain views. The deep valley’s lined with almond trees, rich soil, green vegetation, orange and lemon groves, olive trees and vineyards. The Jalon valley is a truly beautiful sight particularly in January and February when the almond blossom is in bloom. There are few places in the world where the northern part of a small coastline contrasts more with the south.

Water sports of every kind can be found in most resorts in the Costa Blanca. There are modern Marina’s making it a perfect base for yachtsmen and it’s only fifty miles or so due East to the magical cruising area of the Balearic Islands.

Of course for some people the Costa Blanca beaches are big attractions, the majority of which are kept wonderfully clean. For example, the Torrevieja area has seven European Union blue flag beaches. These vary from the very active beaches with a full range of water sports, activities & services to secluded rocky and sandy coves. All of the major beaches have first aid posts and most have refreshment areas. Worth a visit are the beaches at Guardamar, Playa la Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Cobo Roig.

For other people the attraction is the beautiful golf courses such as Villamartin, manicured to perfection and situated amongst orange groves and palm trees. The new La Finca course is within a 10 minute drive of Villamartin. There are also another nine courses within 30 minutes including, La Manga, Mosa Trajectum, Alicante, Alenda, Haciena De Alamo, La Marquesa, El Plantio, Bonalba, & Altorreal.

Torrevieja, situated next to the sea in the south of the Costa Blanca region is surrounded by two beautiful and large natural saltwater lagoons which form the well-known “Salterns of Torrevieja” considered the biggest in Europe and second in the world. Torrevieja is famous in Spain for it’s many festivals – the biggest festival being the Habaneras festival in August. For forty years, every August, Torrevieja has held its traditional Competition of Habaneras and Polyphony, which now has an international character, since it is one of the greatest cultural celebrations in Europe. Voices from all over the world come together in Torrevieja, and the Habanera sings its way out of the competition precincts, and becomes the folklore of the locals. For a whole week, Torrevieja sways to the rhythm of the Habanera, with its tropical flavour from Cuba. The competition awakes the interest of thousands of people throughout Spain, who experience it each year in Torrevieja. The festival attracts a live and television audience of hundreds of thousands of people.

More Britons than ever are looking to move abroad and Spain is one of the most popular destinations, according to a recent survey undertaken by the Leeds Building Society. Over half of people taking part in the survey said that they had considered emigrating and thirteen per cent said they were looking to make the move in the near future. Many people have chosen to move to the Costa Blanca area of Spain.

Live the dream on the island paradise of Bali

As the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia is a behemoth of a country and one that is often overlooked as a holiday destination hotspot â?? except, of course, for those in the know.

With 206 million people spread across almost 18,000 islands, there is a great degree of diversity throughout the country and this is perhaps best exemplified with the tiny island of Bali, which is one of Indonesiaâ??s 33 provinces.

Although Indonesia has the worldâ??s largest population of Muslims, Bali goes against the grain by being a largely Hindu region, though they coexist peacefully with the 7% of the islandâ??s population that follow Islam.

Bali is the largest tourist destination in the whole of Indonesia and on arrival at Denpasar Airport itâ??s easy to see why. While many of the islandâ??s visitors head straight for the hedonistic heartbeat in the town of Kuta, for those seeking a more tranquil time, Bali is unparalleled in the whole of Asia and perhaps further afield for relaxation opportunities.

So rule number one on any cultural visit to Bali should be to avoid Kuta â?? though itâ??s perhaps pencilling in a night there at the very end if you fancy a little party action. So where to start in this tiny island paradise?

Well, first thing to remember is that the island is very small and itâ??s easy to drive around. Itâ??s also very cheap for those earning in pounds or Euros, meaning you can hire a taxi for a whole day to take you around the main sights. First thingâ??s first though: on arrival at Denpasar, make a beeline straight for Sanur which is a 30 minute drive from the airport.

A couple of nights in this quiet little beach resort village will help you recover from your flight, ready to take on some of the islandâ??s splendid sights. Of course, whilst staying in Sanur, itâ??s probably worth getting up early one of the mornings to catch the spectacular sunrise.

Next, head up through the middle of the island to Ubud, which is the islandâ??s cultural heartbeat, with fine art, dance and music in abundance. It also has ancient temples, palaces and perhaps the regionâ??s biggest draw, the Ubud Monkey Forest, which is a sacred nature reserve that his home to â?? yes, you guessed it â?? more than 300 Macaque monkeys.

Then, head up to the Besakih Temple, which is the biggest and holiest of all the temples on the island. Known as â??The Mother Temple of Baliâ??, it is over a thousand years old and is set in a stunning mountainside location just a short drive from Ubud.

For more coastal tranquillity, head to the north coast of the island to the Lovina Beach area, which contains a cluster of small villages and is a most stunning place to unwind after sampling the sights of Bali.

Bali holidays will suit people of all inclinations. Beach lovers, mountain hikers, culture vultures and party animals are all catered for on this tiny Indonesian island paradiseâ?¦so love it and live the dream!

Is it possible to live outside of government?

Today we are so preconditioned to see natural existence as under a government with thousands of rules and restrictions influencing how we act, but are there places in the world where it would be possible to exist outside any government jurisdiction? Antarctica is assigned by treaty to various nations, and almost every uninhabited island is claimed by a government for fishing rights. Isn’t there anywhere where people can just be people, and if not, isn’t this a serious violation of the most basic human right?
Coercive government is not the only path to a functional state. We live in a society that functions through the motivation of fear, and can only function through the motivation of fear because it demands over-productivity from its work force. We fear poverty and starvation and homelessness and jail time and fines, and therefore are law-abiding citizens who work 80 hour weeks because we are conditioned to be motivated this way. If you think no one would have motivation to work in a communo-anarchist society, then you are saying that you yourself could easily live with the idea of being a useless parasite in society. The fact that people want to contribute is motivation enough in a truly healthy society.
