We just came back from a beautiful holiday in South Africa. We stayed in Cape town for almost 10 days and we travelled around to see the penguins, the wineries and the mountains. It was a great trip! We enjoyed the food, the warmth of the people and the colours of many sunsets.
Such a beautiful place to visit!

Ecotourism is a big trend in Hawaii

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii - September 4th, 2008
1. Wide shot of Hilo facing Mauna Kea in the background.
2. Pan down in a forest in Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park showing how it is infested by invasive ginger.
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Kristin McGrath, Senior Director of Marketing, Big Island Visitor's Bureau
Birds and animal species really developed here without outside influences, without people, without predators and so we have this tremendous diversity of species and types of animals and plants and so we really want to protect that. And an invasive species, for example, at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, can come in and disturb the land for the native plants and that's important because the native birds are adapted to the native plants and it upsets the entire environment and so we love that our visitors can come and it's really fun to get in and pull the ginger. Actually it's a very beautiful plant.
4. Pull focus of invasive Kahali ginger
5. Tilt up flower of the invasive ginger.
6. Pan of tourist removing invasive ginger from forest and taking it across the road. UPSOUND (English): That's work!
7. Tourists pulling out ginger in the forest.
8. Pan top to bottom of a section that has been cleared but where the native vegetation hasn't regrown yet.
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Danny Almonte, Hawaii Forest and Trail Guide:
Plants in Hawaii are very non competitive and so they lose the battle and the only way to help them out is by man intervening and become stewards.
10. Close of tourist removing ginger by pulling it out of the ground.
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Joey Pace, Tourist:
Oh it was very interesting. We learned a lot, we got to see a lot, then to help out with the park that was really great.

15. Tourists at Kahalu'u Bay.
16. SOUNDBITE: (English) Matthews M. Hamabata, Executive Director, The Kohala Centre:
With Westernisation and with colonisation I think we as island people really became disconnected from native protocols, native culture, what made us Hawaiian.
17. Reef Teach staff setting up their booth at Kahalu'u Bay.
18. Reef Teach volunteer in the water approaching tourists.
19. SOUNDBITE: (English) Matthews M. Hamabata, Executive Director, The Kohala Centre:
Without the work of the community, without the support of over three dozen businesses, without the support of our local government this bay could be trampled to death.
20. Tourists in the water.
21. Various of staff setting up booth and helping tourists
22. SOUNDBITE: (English) Cindi Puniahaole, Public Outreach Volunteer Coordinator:
We do Reef Teach on a daily basis which is what our volunteers are doing today, educating the visitors on reef etiquette. How to take care of the corals and the fishes and the turtles that are in the bay and we find that it is very rewarding as the majority, over 90 percent of the visitors, do understand and respect the bay after they are educated and so we see now little polyps coming back in our bay.
23. Various of tourists in the water
24. Lifeguard, Michael Geary warning tourists UPSOUND: (English) Come around ... don't use the reefs to exit the water. Just swim in.
25. SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Geary, Lifeguard:
26. People swimming in water alongside turtles
LEAD IN
Hawaii's Big Island is home to a very rare, if not unique, delicately balanced ecosystem, thanks in large part to the fact that thirteen out of fifteen of the world's climate zones can be found here.

How to Survive Flying Emirates Economy Class (Top Tips)
I flew Emirates A380 economy class from Dubai to Zurich. In the video, I gave 8 good tips on how to survive or how to enjoy economy class flying. I am sure you will benefit from some of the tip I gave!
The video also shows you the children's kit and meal on Emirates. Also Ramadan Iftar boxes are shown in the video. Enjoy the magnificent forward wing view with engine on the A380!
--------
Join me for a relaxed and fun flight from Dubai to Zurich with Emirates. I travel aboard the Airbus A380 aeroplane in Emirates economy class and I reveal eight tips and tricks on how you can enjoy and get the most out of your economy class flight. We can’t all experience the luxury of flying first class but this video aims to show that it certainly isn’t impossible to have a very enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable flight in economy class with just a little prior planning, research and thought.
In this video, I also specifically examine some of the comforts offered by the Emirates airline within their economy class to help their customers. One thing we focus on is Emirates’ provision for children and we examine the complimentary items including blankets, bibs, baby wipes and colouring in books which are given out to families with young children.
Tip #1 – Even if you’re flying in economy class, try and access a credit card lounge before the flight to make yourself more comfortable and prepared for boarding. You’re more likely to start the flight in a better mood and in a more positive state of mind, especially if you’ve had to wait at the airport for a while, if you’ve had something to eat, had a comfortable seat to sit on and been in relaxed and more quiet surroundings. If you are not eligible to enter one of these lounges, consider paying for entry; it is likely to be well worth your investment as one of the biggest reasons why people do not enjoy their flight in economy class is because they were not in the right frame of mind to begin with.
Tip #2 – Use a website such as expertflyer.com to see where clusters of empty seats are on the flight that you wish to take. By using this website, you may be able to purchase seats from the airline’s website which are in a quieter spot, with less people surrounding you. expertflyer.com can show real time seat maps for your flight up to one hour before the departure of the flight, letting you make an informed decision as to the best seat location for you in economy class.
Tip #3 – Use a website such as seatguru.com to get to know the layout of the economy class on your flight better so that you can select more advantageous economy seats with views over the engines, or, perhaps most importantly, with more leg room. There’s almost always a few economy seats with much, much more leg room than others because of the free space that has to be left in front of the aircraft’s mid-placed emergency exit.
Furthermore, after coming on board, if there’s a very favourable seat which is vacant and unsold, grab it before anybody else does!
Tip #4 – If you can, travel in the low season when fares are lower and when planes are less crowded. Low season months are February, May and November.
During my flight in Emirates economy class, I was able to move around to a large number of different seats as, travelling in May, it was low season. I was also able to lie down over a complete row of four economy seats and get a quality rest as if I was in business class, but without business class prices! If you can, it certainly pays dividends to travel in economy class when it’s less busy in the low season.
Tip #5 – Always bring a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol consumption which can dehydrate you. Additionally, always bring an eye-shade with you so that you can get quality rest whenever you need it; these are provided on some longer haul flights but it’s always best to have your own, just in case.
Tip #6 – Wear something loose and comfy to promote good well being and also good blood circulation whilst you’re up in the air. This is especially important when the flight is crowded and/or there isn’t a lot of leg room and movement is restricted. This follows on to…
Tip #7 – Wherever possible, stretch your limbs and walk around the cabin – it doesn’t just help keep your blood circulating in what can be a cramped economy class but it keeps your mood happy too. Feeling confined and restricted in economy class is a big source of uncomfortable economy class flights.
Tip #8 – Stay smiling and stay positive whenever travelling in economy class. Don’t forget to bring your headphones with you to listen to some of your favourite tunes whilst you’re in the sky!
I really want to hear your opinion – do you have any thoughts about what makes for a good trip in economy class? Is there anything that you swear by? Leave your comments down below and, as always, thanks for watching!
