Movimiento Travel

Discovering that your suitcase is broken or opened bottles of perfume spilled on your clothes and your documents is the worst way to begin or end a trip. But cool! With these tips you can choose the best bag to take with you, so forget about the problems that may occur and to dedicate yourself to enjoy a well deserved holiday!

Anyone who has traveled a few times have seen dripping fluid bags open or battered while awaiting the arrival of his luggage conveyor belt. Take a moment to select the appropriate case before a trip can save you a tremendous headache.
For long trips I recommend a hard case, especially for holidays in the style of Samsonite, which are quite tough and resilient. A good idea is to buy one with enough space, where even if you place you pack plenty of things you buy during your trip without having to carry extra bags.

If the trip will be short (one day, for example) for business reason or another, for you plus a small suitcase or handbag that you carry with you (you must call the airport and make sure the size limit to avoid last minute surprises).

Try to get a suitcase or bag that has several pockets and compartments, it is very helpful to have passports, documents and other important things.

Wheeled Luggage

The built-in wheels are a great advantage because the weight of the bag rests on them and do not try so hard to bring her back and forth. They are very comfortable, but be sure to bring an extendable handle to handle. I commented on the care that the wheels are quite resistant, but not the handle, which can be split to a bad move. Take appropriate precautions.

A good advice: these bags are not road, so take into account not fill completely. It happened to me think “Wow, I can put everything, all I will not charge it!” nothing wrong. The first steps that I had almost ended up with a hernia.

Waterproof Cases

Some bags fade easily, even when others resist alcohol or acetone spills. Is not you never thought to ask that when you buy a bag? The fact that they are waterproof is very important because the bag can get wet during the trip due to an unforeseen transportation or just another case that is spilling liquid. If you do not want your clothes end up with horrible spots that you can never remove, consider the issue of waterproofing. An important fact is that the best bags can not withstand more than 15 minutes of direct action of water (this is inevitable).

A suitcase for each destination

Depending on the type of trip and destination will be better to take another kind of luggage. For example, if you do a tour or transfer you from one city to another, the ideal is but a small suitcase with wheels that can move effortlessly from side to side.

It is good to have accessible compartments where you put the camera, an accessory (mp3 player, iPod, etc.) Or cloth required, as a hat or scarf, you will be very useful. Even if you can carry an umbrella can save the day before a sudden climate change.

On the other hand, if the journey is long and the bag will only airplane, train, etc. the hotel and back, the ideal is a large suitcase, tough, where you put everything you need to not having to spend unnecessary money buying things you already have.

Since times immemorial, the human need to explore beyond their lands led to the invention of a transport that could carry over seas and rivers. The history of shipping has millennia and has led to amazing results: the big catamarans, fast boats and cargo ships that ply the waters we see today in the world. Imagine then what awaits us in aviation, with only a century of development.

Motor of great inventors, from Leonardo Da Vinci, the Renaissance, to the Wright brothers, in the early twentieth century, the problem of flying has been a headache, a problem that seemed to have no solution … Now it seems like we fly every day and a means of transport. However, the idea of conquering the sky in ancient times it was not much like what we experienced to get on a plane, sit in a chair and wait a random landing. Therefore, for the more adventurous, who want to feel like a bird among the clouds, the wind in his face, those who are not satisfied with a simple plane ride, here are some options for planning a trip in the Heights.

From the simplest to the most risky, the three flights elected:

Hot Air Balloon
By 1783, two French inventors, brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier, were fascinated with the idea of flying and built a flying vehicle that, in his honor, was known by the name of Mongolfiera. It was a very large balloon made of linen and wrapped in paper, placed over a fire that heated air could rise as a result of the force exerted by the air itself from the bottom up. This was demonstrated publicly no one aboard. Two months later, a French physicist Alexandre César Charles, built and managed to fly a real hot air balloon, or a balloon filled with a gas less dense than air: hydrogen. After more than 200 years, the system remains almost unchanged.

Balloon flight can be an experience for the whole family, quiet and one of the safest of its kind. There are different kinds of flights and one of them, the most commercialized, consists of a balloon with a string fixed permanently to the land that can, in very light wind conditions, up to a height of about 20-30 meters, without being moved almost in any direction. The ascent time will stipulate what the guide and is usually 10 to 30 minutes.

In the basket of a hot air balloon go up to 8 people plus the pilot, unless they exceed the weight limit. While it may be a great activity to share with your family, know it is not advisable to bring children less than 5 years. It is a unique experience, magic and, unless suffering from vertigo, everyone can enjoy a walk in the clouds.

But some people choose to go further and embark on the adventure of learning the science of directing a balloon without a string tie us down. To this will have to hire an instructor or go to an academy. Although at first glance it’s easy, must acquire some knowledge of meteorology and specific management of the globe. Weather is important in this activity and before planning a trip there to be informed of the weather.

The flight of baptism, the first pilot, takes about an hour between concrete and air time, so it is desirable to have about 3-4 hours between the assembly, flight and subsequent search. You must start early in the morning because that is when the wind is calmer and the atmosphere is cooler and stable and that when it starts to get hot air balloon flight is more dangerous.

The balloon flies 200 to 1,000 meters. High, and they’ve been cautious and hired a serious service will be followed at all times by a rescue vehicle. In addition, should the property selected for this activity is flat, because you always know from where it departed, but never know where to land …

Paragliding
Its name derives from the term “parachute pending” and officially invented in the 80s in France. It is a simple mechanism: a flap that connects the user through a harness. This wing has a series of ribs that give stability to the flight system. The air enters through the edges and inside the wing press, which, with its streamlined shape allows the lift. For this very reason, unlike the parachutes, use “inflation” before the flight. This is accomplished by taking a big stage before a break away from the ground or transported at high speed by a field.

In addition the wing is necessary to take a “flying suit” which is a waterproof covers the entire body, boots, gloves and helmet. The essential instruments are the radio, an altimeter variometer, used to detect vertical air speeds among other functions it performs and a GPS to help set the direction towards which we are headed. It is also important to have a reserve parachute, which is carried inside the sling.

Not everyone can play golf and do need a minimum of theory and training. Another thing to consider is the area where climatic conditions and practice, because if the air is nearly still, simply limit ourselves to planning, while with enough wind, we can cover more territory.

Paragliding is transportable and can be folded into a pocket or backpack. Once in the air the pilot will be comfortably seated in the harness and may operate the vehicle with a thread or commands, that will change our direction to the left or right, will allow us to turn, brake and accelerate.

They should know that the burden of the pilot’s body weight will change the attitude of the glider pendulum. There are gliders of different sizes for different rider weights, and in turn different models for different riding levels, from beginner sailing to sailing competition.

Skydiving
It’s the closest to the invention of Leonardo da Vinci. The great inventor had drawn the first plans for a parachute. He studied the flight of more than twenty years and in 1486 began studying the birds. The secret behind human flight was on the wings of birds, a design that allowed the flight object falling from a great height. But Leonardo da Vinci never put into practice his idea. It was not until 1797, when the balloons flying Andre Jacques Garnerin made the first of many exhibition parachute jumps from hot air balloon.

Garnerin’s parachute was made of silk and looked like a huge umbrella. His parachute had no hole in the top and this caused a violent agitation at the time of its opening. But this fails, which is also in the designs of Da Vinci, was beaten and now modern parachutes have holes that allow air to flow through them, helping the parachute to remain stable.

Before the existence of the airplane, a parachute flight was not quite right and for entertainment only practiced jumping from balloons. With the development of airplanes in the early twentieth century, the parachutes were a good idea, but not for fun, but to enhance the safety of passengers on the flight.

Today, the parachute is much more than a backup tool for possible emergencies is a sport practiced around the world. It requires minimal training to fly for the first time. And if your intention is to continue the practice of this sport, you’ll need to aware of what things you must identify your parachute to make sure everything goes smoothly and that most accidents happen because of lack of foresight and control.

The parachutes that are used to transport people are usually made of nylon and should be folded and forming a sort of package, which will open after pulling a cord. Along the seams of the fabric are suspended ropes or lines that run throughout the parachute to a ring, which is part of the harness worn by the parachutist. Everything must be controlled; even this harness is holding a skydiver and keeps getting hurt when the parachute opens.

There is almost no age limits for diving, but weight. It must also be healthy physically and mentally, in the sense of being able to respect certain rules of discipline of flying, since 99% of accidents are caused by the negligence of the pilots.

Of the three sports, skydiving is the riskiest and most expensive since it is impossible to do without an air vehicle. You also need to rent a good team and have professional instructors. But beyond that, the experience of throwing with a parachute will be unique and hard to forget.
