Apr 16th 2009 The amazing Volcanoes of Hawaii

Hawaii, the island of many dreams…this is where people want to go to unwind, relax and enjoy the feeling of the sun, sand and beach on their bodies while they sip on a cocktail made most probably out of pineapple juice.There is alos another, can we say intriguing, side to Hawaii, and that is the fact that it is full of volcanoes.

Hawaiian volcanoes are some of the best known in the world today.As the place with some of the few remaining active volcanoes, it is a site of much research and tourists.After all, not many of us can say we went and visited an actual live volcano can we? Of the six islands that comprise Hawaii each of them have at least one active volcano. Believed to have formed more than 70 million years ago, the Hawaii volcanoes are also places of great historical data.The lava that is found around the Hawaii volcanoes probably dates back millions of years, and the amount of information researchers can gain form just one of these islands about the way the world was back then is immense. As old Hawaii volcanoes erupt and go silent, newer one are formed as well, which means this is a continuing process.

Volcanoes can be harmful to the living things around it. As the active volcanoes continue spouting lava, the height of land in the ‘Big Island’ of Hawaii has grown to 4,000 m and the threat these Hawaii volcanoes pose to humans are quite high as well. Over the years, land development has expanded towards the more hazardous parts of the island, meaning that more and more people are being put at risk due to eruption of the Hawaii volcanoes. Another kind of risk posed by Hawaii volcanoes is the airborne lava fragments that can be harmful to humans and animals alike.

Then there is the worry of volcanic gases that escape during eruption of Hawaii volcanoes and the threat of ground cracks and settling. If flowing lava is suddenly sent into the sea, the effect it can have on the land mass and the water is quite scary as well. All these can pose great harm to those nearby.

Apr 16th 2009 Why You Should Bring a Monkey on Honeymoon

I had been looking forward to my honeymoon for years, I have been with my partner since a young age, we were kind of childhood sweet hearts. We had planned our wedding for a whole three years before it took place and I can assure you that it was probably one of the greatest nights of my whole life.

But my story at the moment is not about the wedding it is more about our honeymoons and the friendly monkey that became a major part of our lives and the reason I am writing this article is because it actually made me want to have kids.

It all began when our parents purchased us a trip to Kenya, we were set to go on a great Safari trip for 7 days and then stay a week by the beach. After arriving we were transported to the Safari destination by coach, we quickly went to sleep as we had a long day planned. The morning came around very fast; it was something good to look forwards too, the day way filled with suprises, I saw animals that I had never imagined seeing before.

We were on our way back when we noticed from a distance that the front door of the cabin way slightly open, I was pretty shaky because I though all our passports would have been taken, but to my suprise it was just a little monkey eating our fruit, when he saw me he did not run he just walked away. We spent the rest of the night with the monkey, it really felt like we had a little family. He didnt want to leave us and came on the Safari. But what felt like an amazing week was coming to an end, we had to say some emotional good byes to each other, since then we have never seen him again. Mind you I do have five kids of my own now who are all little monkeys in their own ways.

 

For great Caribbean Holidays and Jamaica Holidays
