Last Minute Summer Travel Tips (part 2 of 2)
http://www.bromotravelindo.com
Another thing you should consider is what you can do when you finally get to your destination. It’s best to look for a destination which can immediately offer you activities you’re interested in. If you’re a nature lover, for instance, you might be hard-pressed to find challenging nature walks in the city jungle of New York. Likewise, urban travelers might be intimidated by the rugged outdoors found in Montana or the swampy beauty of Louisiana.
Choosing Your Mode of Transportation
Determining how you travel can also make a huge difference with your plans.
If you’re greatly worried about time constraints and you’d like to make the most out of the last days of summer vacation, traveling by plane is the best option. It’s also one of the more expensive options but if you stay away from the business or first class section then you can probably save a bit more funds for additional pocket money.
For those with adventurous spirits, traveling by car or using a rented RV is something you should consider. Traveling hours are longer, but you also get to enjoy beautiful scenery on the road, meet new friends pursuing a similar route, and discover new places of interest as you get nearer your destination. Make sure, however, you take all the safety precautions when traveling.
For a more leisurely and luxurious way of traveling, consider traveling by train or by taking a cruise to reach your destination.
Packing
Make a list. Yes, you’re intelligent, you’ve a great memory, and you’re organized but if you want to be sure about packing everything you need, make a list. Making one won’t hurt. Find out weather conditions in your destination to ensure you bring appropriate clothing. Lastly, make sure you’ve got stuff for sun protection with you in your hand-carry bag.
Enjoy the last days of summer!

Last Minute Summer Travel Tips (part 1 of 2)
http://www.bromotravelindo.com
Summer is getting away, but you’re determined not to let spring come without first enjoying yourself under the sun. No matter how last minute your travel plans are, the tips below can guarantee that you’ll have a summer vacation to remember!
Budget
Start your travel plans by eliminating your most pressing worry and one that has the greatest impact on your plans. How much can you afford to spend for your last summer trip?
Be aware that because you’re planning at the last minute, discounts and other incentives travelers are usually entitled to won’t be available to you. You may have to pay more and tolerate less than 5-star accommodations because you haven’t made any advanced reservations.
To save on money, you should look for a destination that offers you lots of free attractions and activities to visit and do. If you are amenable to working with a travel agency, having them prepare all your travel plans could give you cheaper rates for a bundled package.
Choosing a Destination
Let’s be realistic. If you pick on the usual summer favorites like Hawaii, Florida, or California, you need to be prepared to jostle with the crowds every second of the day. Accommodations would also be difficult to obtain and even finding a good and affordable place to eat could also be a challenge.
Why not be adventurous for a change? Consider looking into secret or little-known summer getaways. Winter retreats like Colorado and Boston may seem like unlikely places to visit during the summer but with a little research, you’ll be surprised at the hidden gems of attractions they have to offer.

Learn To Draw Fairies (part 2 of 2)
http://www.bromotravelindo.com
Basic Body Parts
Fairies have two major body parts. One would be the human like body, which is generally similar to a human’s figure. The second would be the wings. In some cases, artists add a little twist with their fairies. They do this by giving them pointed ears. Some would even make the head shape a little pointed too. It still depends on you whichever style you want to go for.
So basically, you would just have to draw a woman. Then, make her whimsical by adding a pair of wigs on her back. For the hair, you could either give her extremely long hair or extremely short hair with a pointed head. The hair color could also vary depending on your imagination. Almond shaped eyes are common among fairies too.
Clothing And Accessories
For clothing, your fairy can wear something that is close to nature, especially if the type of fairy that you want to draw is the kind that lives in the forest. Most fairies appear to be wearing a miniskirt that has asymmetrical edges. Their long slender legs are also prominent with their clothing. For accessories, you can draw a flower garland around their head of around their waist in a way that it would look like a belt hanging loosely. You can also add a pouch to their belt, just like the one where Tinkerbell keeps her fairy dust.
The Environment
For your fairy to appear more magical you should draw her in her environment. Again, this would depend on you. She can be playing in a pond, beside a flower or sitting at a rock. Whatever the environment is, make it appear magical and out of this world.

Fairies are considered to be very whimsical and magical. They are usually depicted to be beautiful, delicate and mysterious. They also bring an aura with them that makes you feel as if you were in some enchanted forest. Although they are mythical creatures, a lot of artists love drawing them. If you want to learn to draw fairies, here are some things that you should consider and try.
Your Fairy Your Rules
Since fairies are mythical creatures, there is no fixed parameters in which you would be limited to in drawing them. All those beautiful fairy pictures, drawings and paintings you have seen are all products of their respective artists’ imagination. This is why, as an artist that wants to draw fairies, you would have all the power to do so.
All you need to do is imagine. Create a vision of your own fairy in your mind and this would be your guide. If you want your fairy to be a boy or girl, it all depends on you. However, for starters it is recommended that you start out with a female fairy, since this is the common.
The Traditional Fairy Look
Most of the time, fairies are depicted to be women in small sizes that have wings. They are also usually beautiful. They also glow at times or has a very colourful aura. They have the ability to fly. Their wings are most of the time depicted to be similar to a dragonfly’s, which is transparent and slender. However, in some other renditions, fairies are seen to have butterfly like colourful wings that matches their colourful clothes. Of course, there is also the ever present magic wand.
