Whilst you can be sure that certain places will almost always attract a crowd (big sports matches, crowded , that kind of thing), there are other times when a crowd can appear as if from nowhere. It's at times like that where your fear of crowds can really come into its own and disrupt your way of life.

The problem is that our brain learns pretty fast when it wants to. Especially when are concerned. And despite what you may think, a fear of crowds isn't the most rational thing to possess. Most crowds are harmless most of the time.

But try telling that to your brain!

Chances are the flight part of your inbuilt "fight or flight" has reared its before you get a chance to reason with it.

So just exactly how do you go about overcoming your fear of crowds?

If your fear is a mild one, it could be that you simply need to mix with small crowds and gradually adjust by gradually mixing with larger and larger crowds. Sometimes taking an understanding friend along with you can be idea - they're with you as a comfort and can help you if your fear suddenly starts to become overwhelming.

But what do you need to do if your fear is bigger than that?

If your fear is holding you back, you have three options:

* Run away from it - move to somewhere rural and isolated for instance.

* Live with it and avoid crowds as much as possible whilst still having a life.

* Face your fear and deal with it.

When it comes down to it, fear is actually pretty cowardly. So the third option (facing your fear of crowds) isn't actually as scary as it may seem.

Think back to the last time you got trapped in a crowd. Sure, it may not have been a pleasant experience for you. But after all the worry and , think back. Did you come out of the event unscathed?

Assuming you did come out of your last crowd experience without harm, that's a good start. You can work with that positive memory to start to train your mind to react differently next time you're seemingly trapped in a crowd. Focus on your breathing - take long, deep breaths in and out.

Stay as calm as possible (this gets easier over time - make sure you've got help at hand the first few times you try it).

Gradually, you'll start to reprogram your mind.

If you can, think back to a time when you were happy in a crowd. Maybe a childhood birthday party or maybe a time when you managed to get to the cinema and watch a great movie. If you can find this kind of time, re-live it. In your mind's eye make the memory bigger, brighter, louder. This will help you to associate positive memories with crowds and will help you overcome your fear of crowds faster.Get more ways to overcome your fear of crowds and start to cure your crowd phobia.]]> Best Time To Visit Disney World http://www.artwoo.com/article/best-time-to-visit-disney-world http://www.artwoo.com/article/best-time-to-visit-disney-world#comments Tue, 27 Jun 2006 00:32:03 +0000 best time to visit disney worldtrip to disneysevere thunderstormscrowdsweather in floridadefinitelychristmas decorations http://www.artwoo.com/article/best-time-to-visit-disney-world crowds. When visiting any major theme park, you are going to experience large crowds; And since Disney World is the most popular theme park in the world, there is hardly a day at the park without large crowds. If you do your research, you can find certain times of the year, January and September for example, that are less busy at Disney World. Even though you may enjoy shorter lines during these times, there are downsides to going at these less busy times of the year. For one, Disney has more festivities planned during certain times of the year like Christmas and New Years. For many people, it is worth fighting the crowds to be at Disney World during these times of major festivities.

Crowds are not the only factor when deciding on the . It is also a good idea to take the weather into account. Many people assume that any time of the year is perfect but that is not the case. The summer time can bring extreme heat and to the Orlando area that can ruin your day at Disney World. The brief showers are usually a great time to go inside and take a break. Some of the best weather at Disney World comes in the evening with mild temperatures so make sure to rest up during the day so you're ready to go out at night.

Venice is one of the toughest cities to beat the crowds (14 million people visit each year), but it can be done, and the reward is well worth it -- the and unique atmosphere of this make it one of the most astonishing cities in the world, so if you want to enjoy Venice and avoid the crowds, read on for my tips to get off the beaten track...

Travel Out of Season

Travelling out of season in Venice is tricky as the tourist season never really stops, but there are a few things to bear in mind when booking a holiday here. From April to October is the peak season, and avoid July and August at all costs -- the combination of and makes it very unpleasant at this time of year. Needless to say, I ferry a lot of people on transfers at this time of year, and a lot of them complain about the crowds!

(On this subject of Venice transfers, one inside tip: there are no cars in the centre of the city, so if your hotel is near the centre, you'll have to book a Venice airport transfer and a to make it all the way. Plenty of visitors get caught out by this!)

Travelling in the weeks just before Easter can be a good compromise -- the streets are hardly deserted, but it isn't as busy as the summer and you get to enjoy some very . If you really want to beat the crowds, January is the month to travel to Venice. It is cold and wet, with fierce winds coming in from the sea, but the streets are nearly deserted, and exploring the city without the crowds can be a magical experience. January is about the only time of the year that I'm not run off my feet with Venice airport transfers, so take advantage of the lull if you really want to see empty streets in the City of Light!

See the Sights...Not Just St Marks!

There's more to Venice than St Marks Square. The tourist trail between the Rialto Bridge and St Marks is packed for most of the year, but stray to some of the lesser known parts of the city and the crowds thin out remarkably quickly. The Cannaregio part of town in the north of Venice gets less foot traffic than the rest of the city and is home to many hidden gems -- one of these is Madonna dell'Orto, a beautiful gothic church with some superb artwork on the inside. Cannaregio also contains one of the seldom explored corners of Venice: the Campo del Ghetto Novo. This used to be the Jewish ghetto during the middle ages, and it is one of the oldest parts of the city with many medieval buildings -- a real pleasure to explore on foot.

Further out, a trip to Murano is a chance to see the traditional Venetian glassblowers at work, and it is a quiet and beautiful part of town to while away an afternoon. If you want to go further still you can catch a boat to Torcello, one of the other islands in the Venice lagoon. With only twenty residents, this tiny town is the perfect place to relax while on holiday in Venice.

At the end of the day, for all the complaints that people make (myself included!) about the crowds in Venice, there's little that can detract from the magic of the city. When I'm not run off my feet doing airport transfers to Marco Polo or Treviso, it is a great pleasure to just wander the streets and see where I end up. That's the best piece of advice I can give for getting off the beaten track -- just keep walking till you leave the crowds behind, and you are sure to find something fascinating in a hidden corner of Venice!Francisco Bachini is a Treviso and Marco Polo airport transfer driver for Shuttle Direct.

The Benefits of Online Back to School Shopping

There are so many benefits that make it best to shop online. If you aren`t convinced by the fact that you won`t be battling crowds, here are a few more benefits:

Save on gas. Just trying to find a parking space during this time of year can use up quite a bit of expensive gas. By opting to shop online you are going to save a huge amount of money.
Avoid unfriendly staff. Online help is usually far more useful than frazzled in- who have been asked the same question fifty times today.

Skip the lines. Surely you have better things to do with your time than stand in line for hours. So skip that by doing your back to school shopping online and use the time for something more productive.

Shop through a rewards site. This lets you shop online like you normally would, but it also gives you extra points or prizes or even cash back for making the hases via the rewards program.

Less stress. Getting your kids ready to go back to school is a stressful time of year anyway, so why complicate things? Spend some time relaxing instead of rushing around trying to get everything and enjoy the last few days of summer with your kids.

Get those extra special items. Every year there is at least one product that "everyone" has. Like Tickle Me Elmo, these items vanish in seconds off the store shelves, but you can almost always find them in stock online!
By doing your shopping online, you`ll find that you can take your time to source the best deals, without having to worry if someone else will grab the last one before you get there. It`s pretty easy to do a search for the items you need on Google and then look for some online coupon codes to get an extra discount.

Campsites are scattered all along the coast, and the beaches around Cannes and St Tropez are glamorous, fashionable...and usually very crowded! For many people, the hustle and bustle is very much part of the experience of camping in the Cote d'Azur, but some will crave a more secluded beach where they can relax in peace and quiet.

Fortunately, the area also contains many uninterrupted beaches for those who know how to find them or are willing to seek them out. So, if you tire of the crowds while camping in the Cote d'Azur, here are five hidden beaches to relax on...

Port de Crouton Plage

If you are going to the French Rivera with your family, why not find a Cote d'Azur campsite near this beach which is located in Juan-les-Pins. This beach is a real hidden gem, and a perfect place to go with children. The soft sand slopes very gently into the sea, making it safe for children, and the secluded location and beautiful surroundings make it just as enjoyable for adults!

Mala Plage

Despite being only ten minutes away from Monaco, Mala Plage is rarely crowded, perhaps due to the steep ten minute walk it takes to get there. It is almost child free, so it is a great place for couples looking to escape the crowds on their Cote d'Azur camping holidays. There is also a range of activities available on the beach, including jet skiing, snorkelling and diving.

Plage de Passable

The Plage de Passable, located in Villefranche bay, is an outstanding and peaceful place to swim and sunbathe. This sheltered pebble beach is popular with locals in the know, and if you are staying in a nearby Cote d'Azur campsite, you should trust their judgement! There is an excellent restaurant here, and the 4km Cap Ferrat hiking trail is a lovely walk that passes by the houses of the rich and famous who live in Villefranche.

Paloma Plage

In Cap Ferrat, the over-rich and over-trendy crowd gravitate towards the Paloma Beach Club, leaving the public beach relatively uncrowded. Take full advantage of their mistake, and enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches on the Cote d'Azur -- gorgeous sand, turquoise water, and breathtaking views out over the bay.

Saleccia

If you really want to beat the crowds, then try escaping the Cote d'Azur altogether -- the Saleccia beach is located on the nearby island of Corsica, and it is almost completely deserted and utterly beautiful. If you are camping in the Cote d'Azur you can get to Corsica by taking a car ferry from Nice or Cannes, and the trip is well worth it -- this beach really is a local highlight.

Whether you are travelling with the family or as a couple, you don't need to fight the crowds if you want to go to the beach while camping in the Cote d'Azur -- if you like peace and quiet with your sun and sand, these five secluded beaches will be just right for you.Stephen Lane is the Marketing Director of Canvas Holidays, one of the leading European camping and mobile home holiday companies in the UK.

There are crowds of people to fight through, lines to wait in while purchasing your item, and it almost always seems like you have to jump from store to store to find the item you were looking for. Headache?

You are not the only one.

Shopping online provides a sense of comfort and ease while purchasing exactly what you want, when you want it from your home. There are several benefits you will get from shopping at your home as oppose to running all over the city.

First off, you eliminate any driving whatsoever. And with gas prices the way they are today, that alone can pay for the gift or item you were planning on purchasing. You can also cut down on the "thrilling" adventure of driving from store to store. It is weird, but it seems that every store you go to has everything except what you are looking for. Funny how that works, huh?

By shopping online, you can quickly scroll through as many stores as it takes to find the item you are looking for. You can do this with the and have access to hundreds of stores. Another great thing about this is that you can generally find a much wider selection then what have to offer.

The next thing to look at is the price. When you go to retail stores, hardly ever will you find an actual sale. More times than not, the sale price is just the actual price that they have every weekend to intrigue buyers. If you go online, you have the ability to jump from store to store and . This way you can truly benefit from the price drop.

Another thing that the internet has to offer that retail stores do not is wholesale. When stores sell at or below the retail price, this is known as wholesale. You will find no such sales in a retail store.



Finally, shopping online allows you to shop right from your home at any . The internet never closes, unlike malls and retail stores. This way you do not have to worry about finding the perfect time to shop when the crowd is low. The crowd is always low and the stores are always open for your convenience.

There is no question that shopping online is the way to go. Without having to deal with crowds of people, having a plethora of options, and finding what you want immediately, you no longer will have the headache of shopping at a retail store.

There are a number of reasons I stress the importance of the place you choose for your date. First, you don't want to take your date to a place they are not interested in. You must both choose a place that you mutually agree on. If your date suggests that the two of you go to a place that you're not comfortable with, you should not be afraid to let them know this. If you go to a place that makes you uncomfortable, it can damage the date. It will also show that you have , because you failed to make it clear that you didn't want to go there.

To pick the best place for a date, you must first understand the interests of both you and your partner. For example, if either you or your partner hates sports, does it make sense to buy tickets to a ? If you or your partner hate being in large , does it make sense to attend a crowded party? It is critical that you choose a date that perfectly matches the interest of both you and your partner. If the two of you cannot come to a consensus on where you want to go, this may be a sign that the two of you are not compatible with each other. The reason I say this is because if you both have similar interests, it should be easy for you to choose a for your date.

An art gallery is a great place for those who are intellectual or have . Another good place for these types of people is the library or bookstore. Many choose a dinner and a movie. If you do this, pick a movie that the both of you are equally interested in. The same goes for food. A dinner and a movie is a classic form of dating, and it is a great way for the two of you to get to know each other better. You may not want to go to an expensive restaurant on your , unless this is something both of you agree on. Another good place for couples is a nice park or garden. You can sit and talk about various topics while enjoying the company of each other.

A classic place for intellectuals is the museum. This is a quiet place where the two of you can talk about the various exhibitions that are being presented it. Those who enjoy being in large crowds may want to go to concerts, sporting events, or even clubs. If you both like to shopping, you can spend a day going to various stores.

Some people choose to visit the area in the Spring to avoid the crowds. The weather is still warm and mostly dry. It is warm enough to enjoy the beach, but not extremely hot. In addition, you won't have to deal with crowds in the summer.

There is more rain in the Spring than in the winter, but most days are still sunny. The average daily high temperature ranges between 14 and 19 degrees Celsius. At night time, the temperature ranges from 8 to 13 degrees. You can expect around seven hours of sunlight in the early spring to about ten hours per day in the late Spring.

The average daily high temperature in the autumn ranges from 24 degrees Celsius in September to 15 in November. At night, the temperatures drop to between 8 and 17 degrees Celsius. Keep in mind that autumn has more rainy days than the other seasons. Plan your outdoor activities for the sunny days and visit museums and shop on the rainy days.

Alicante and other areas of the Costa Blanca are becoming popular spots for winter holidays. Northern Europeans looking to escape the freezing temperatures and snow come to this area. Snow is very rare, particularly in the coastal areas.

The average high temperature in the winter months range from 12 to 16 degrees Celsius. At night, the temperatures drop to between 5 and 8 degrees. This area has about seven hours of sunlight each day in the winter. The mild winter temperatures make this area a great spot for golf holidays in the winter months.

I like the way that you did that John. As well as , you also like poetry. Why do you like poetry? Is there anything special or anything that poetry can give us that's a little bit out of the ordinary?

John Harricharan: It is almost akin to music, I think poetry in its own way is music and you do very well also I've read some of yours and loved them. And I think poetry is the music of the soul expressed a little differently from just ordinary prose. It will evoke within us, feelings of and hope and so forth and as a little boy, I was tremendously influenced by poetry.

Actually I found almost everything poetic, and at the age of three, I was brought into this giant temple by my father we're in front of a crowded temple. I recited the poem called "A Song of life". And till this day, decades later, I still could step back and look at that little boy on the stage, as he ended it by saying all remind us, we can make our lives sublime and departing leave behind us, footprints on the .

I think poetry is therapeutic just as music is. And a poetry serves as a source of inspiration sometimes when we're down in the arena and they have their boots on our necks, and the dust is in our nose and our mouth and we can hear the crowd screaming "Kill him, kill him, destroy him, use the sword on him" and we don't know where to -- and today the crowds would probably be the people who hold your mortgage or who holds the of your car or your boss or your job or what not it hasn't changed much in thousands of years.

So we still get down in the arena, when that happens, we need all the strength and all the hope to say to our souls even when you were bleeding. It ain't over yet, it isn't finished yet. It isn't done yet. I can get up, I can get up, and that's when you get up and you sit down and you're kind it to yourself and you say, "Okay John, that stinks, that hurts, that was bad really bad." But you have brushed the dust off and you go on. Do you know what keeps you going? It's hope. Hope keeps you going.

You don't need hope to have faith, but hope leads you to faith and it keeps you going until you take that other step and the other step and all of a sudden, the crowds are not boeing any longer. You're in this arena, you're in the stadium and they are shouting for you "long live Terry Marie, long live Vish, Hurray for John". Now you have come from one place to the other and sources of inspiration such as, music, poetry, nature the company you keep, could take you there and make that road a little bit calmer, a little bit more interesting and a little bit more joyful.

Deemed the , Disney World has become popular with travelers of all ages. Unfortunately, many people fear the Disney World experience after hearing horror stories about long lines, incredible heat and humidity, and packed hotels. But you can get the most out of your by doing your best to beat the and by spending your money .

Beating the Crowds

As one of the most popular places to visit, Disney World is often crowded. With an average park occupancy rate of 75%, travelers on a luxury travel vacation will be hard pressed to find something without a wait or line. The first thing you can do is avoid going at high season. High season is any time children will be out of school, meaning summer, winter breaks, Thanksgiving, and Easter/spring break. The lowest attendance can be found in January after New Year's. Also, try and arrive on a Thursday. Most travelers will arrive Friday and Saturday, and almost no one goes into the parks the first day. That means Thursday arrivals can spend all day Friday and Saturday in the parks while everyone else is arriving or leaving.

Spending Your Money Wisely

The first question posed to travelers on Disney World luxury vacations is, "Do you want to stay at a Disney-run property." This is often the best way to go. There are several levels of hotels. You can stay in a budget hotel, a deluxe hotel or a luxury hotel. The prices are comparable to other nearby accommodations, as long as they are within the same category. Plus, you get a number of perks by staying in the , such as extra morning and evening magic hours at selected parks, guaranteed admission to the park, quick access to the parks via motor coach, monorail, or water taxis, special , free shuttle from airport, Disney trained "Cast Members" available to answer your questions about the park. Also, don't over spend on tickets. If you are going to the resorts for seven nights, you will probably not need a seven day pass because you won't get to the parks until the second day. Don't waste your money on the no expiration date option. As for overpriced Disney merchandise, you can find amazing deals at the local outlets, at the nearby outlet mall, or at the local Wal-Mart, Target or Kmart.

These simple tips can really make all the difference on a Disney World luxury travel vacation. Beat the crowds as best you can, but understand that even if you succeed, Disney World's version of "low attendance" is about 40% capacity. A Disney World vacation can be costly, the trick is to get more bang for your buck. So, if Disney World is where you're headed, get the most out of your time and money!

This is what makes the Internet so great. It virtually provides us with innumerable conveniences.

Don't count on the local shopping mall or outlet stores to have those wonderful bargains; take a gander at what is online.

My wife loves to shop. She wants to hit up the on a usual basis. The is that I have a who's the same way. Yet the sadder news is that I have a seven-year-old daughter as well. Feel sorry for me yet? Shopping must be a part of the female . While I don't dislike heading out with them in search of unnecessary clothing and accessories, I simply get upset with the crowds.

My solution to this dilemma is to shop at home. Your computer is a gateway to the entire world. Any store you can fathom will be found online. By shopping from home you can free yourself of the atmosphere commonly found in malls.

A great advantage when you shop at home is the price. If you haven't surfed through cyberspace, then you are truly missing out. That bracelet you so keenly desire is probably half the price online. That fishing rod you long for relentlessly is likely 40 percent off on the right website. When you shop at home, you save the dough. Why pay 100 bucks, when you can pay 60 for the same item? It doesn't make sense.

My that she has to see clothing and shoes in person in order to try them on before purchasing. This is all fine and good. Try things out in the store, then if you want them, come home and buy them on the Internet. I have made this a ritual. I buy everything online, and enjoy being able to shop at home. Nothing beats the comfort of your own home.

A perfect example is a gift that I lately acquired for my father's birthday. I searched online, and ended up finding it for nearly 50 percent under the retail cost. That's what you get at retail stores; the retail cost! Try shopping online and I guarantee you will save some bucks. With the high prices and crowds, it is simply ideal to shop at home these days.

Before you even drive to the airport, consider public transportation as airport parking lots fill up quickly during the holidays. If you live far from your airport, a one night stay in an airport hotel might offer extended parking.

To streamline line your air travel, research the check-in procedures for your airline as most offer both online check-in and printable boarding passes. You can also use the curbside check-in at the airport or self-service kiosks to avoid the lines at the counter. To anticipate how long you will need to clear security at the airport, check the 's website (www..gov). While the times listed on the site are daily and hourly averages that don't account for holiday travel, you can assume that the wait will be at least as long as a Friday evening.

Make sure that you also review the current rules for carry-on luggage. Though the ban on liquids in carry-on luggage was lifted in September, travelers are still only allowed to pack travel-size items -- 3 ounces or less -- in their carry-on luggage. All of these travel-size bottles and containers must be stored within a clear, one-quart zip-top bag for screening. However, if you don't need any of these items on your flight to the Caribbean, you can place any size toiletry item or liquid in your checked bags.

If you plan on on your Caribbean vacation, remember that most car rental companies anticipate a 20% rate of no-shows. During the holiday travel season, the resultant overbooking could leave you without a vehicle. While it is advised to arrive at the rental counter by the early afternoon, you can also call ahead to confirm your reservation. If you are enrolled in an express check-in program, take advantage of your status and skip the long lines.

If you are still making plans for a holiday Caribbean vacation, try your best to be flexible. Try to book flights that depart in the early morning or late evening as prices will be lower. Also, selecting a flight on a holiday like Christmas or New Year's Day will offer you a considerable discount, as crowds tend to fly on the days before and after the holidays.

To prevent one of the biggest delays of all, aim for a nonstop flight. If you can't make it to your Caribbean destination without a connecting flight, try to avoid connections in northern U.S. cities like Chicago as weather grounds many flights in the winter months. Instead, fly through Phoenix, Dallas or another southern city to avoid any unnecessary delay.

Another great travel tip for the holidays is programming the numbers of your airline, car rental company, hotel and other travel contacts into your cell phone. In the event that you are delayed getting to your Caribbean destination, you will be prepared to make arrangements.

Lastly, as you will probably want to bring plenty of gifts home from the Caribbean, remember not to wrap them until you get home so they can be inspected by airport security. Also, keep all of the valuable or fragile gifts in your carry-on luggage to ensure that they aren't damaged during handling.

By following travel tips as simple as these and being prepared for the crowds, you are sure to have a successful holiday Caribbean vacation. This article was written by Justin.

However, despite all of the that come with flying, it is a necessity. There are several things that can be done to make flying easier and more hassle free, and all that is involved is a little bit of common sense and planning.

1. Get to the Airport Early Arriving at the airport early is a no-brainer, especially when the airlines tell passengers to arrive at least two hours prior to a flight's departure time. However, there are many people who refuse to heed this request, and arrive at the airport just several minutes before a flight is scheduled to leave. If there is a line at the check-in counter or at security, this can create a very stressful situation. Not only may the flight be missed, but a new flight must be booked, and the passengers will probably have to travel stand-by on a later flight with no guarantee of a seat until the very last minute.

2. Take a Morning Flight. Leaving on an early flight does not mean a 4 a.m. flight must be chosen. However, that leave first thing in the morning are less likely to be running late, and they are less likely to be affected by across the country and/or other planes that may be delayed at other airports. Also, if for some reason the first flight of the day is canceled or delayed, there will probably be several other flights throughout the day that, if necessary, can be taken instead.

3. Try Not to Fly During andquot;andquot; Airports, like highways, have . Typically, rush hour in the morning is from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., and in the afternoon from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. These are the hours when airports are the most crowded with people waiting for flights. Crowds mean longer lines at the security check points, more people in the restrooms, more people waiting in restaurant lines, and more people taking up seats in the waiting areas. Flying at a NON-rush hour time of day can alleviate the need to stand in lines and sit with crowds.

4. Try to Take Non-Stop Flights Obviously, when a non-stop flight is taken, there is less risk of being delayed. Taking off and landing both take quite a bit of time, so avoiding having to do this twice is recommended. There will always be destinations when a non-stop flight is not available, but there are plenty of cities where non-stop flights are just as common as those that stop. It may even be worth a few extra dollars to book a non-stop flight to avoid an unneeded hassle and the possibility of being delayed.

5. Book Connections with Enough Time If a non-stop flight is not available to a desired destination, make sure to schedule enough time in between flights. When airlines book flights, they often have a layover requirement of 30 or 45 minutes between connections. However, this is often not enough time if the original flight arrives late. In order to avoid this stress, try to schedule connecting flights with at least an hour to spare between the arrival time of the first flight and the departure time of the connecting flight.
