For some pet parents, a trip is no fun if the four-legged members of the family can’t come along. But traveling can

be highly stressful, both for you and your pets. If you’re planning to take a trip with pets in tow, we have some tips to help ensure a safe and comfortable journey for everyone.

Remember, no matter where you’re headed or how you plan to get there, make sure your pet is microchipped for identification and wears a collar and tag imprinted with your name, phone number and any relevant contact information. It’s a good idea for your pet’s collar to also include a temporary travel tag with your cell phone and destination phone number for the duration of your trip.

Traveling by plane? Unless your furry friend is small enough to ride under your seat, it’s best to avoid air travel with your pets. If you must bring your pet along on the flight, here are a few suggestions to keep your pet safe while flying the friendly skies.

Book a direct flight whenever possible. This will decrease the chances that your pet is left on the tarmac during extreme weather conditions or mishandled by baggage personnel during a layover.

Make an appointment with your pet’s veterinarian for a checkup. Prior to your trip, make sure your

March 10, 2016 Road TRippin’ �

pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date and obtain a health certificate from your veterinarian dated within 10 days of your departure. Tranquilizing your pet is generally not recommended as it could hamper his or her breathing, so use this time to check with your veterinarian for ways to relax your pet if you suspect he or she may become afraid, anxious or uncomfortable mid-flight. For travel outside of the continental United States, additional planning and health care requirements may be necessary. Contact the foreign office of the country you are traveling to for more information.

Purchase a USDA-approved shipping crate. The crate should be large enough for your pet to stand, sit and turn around in comfortably, and lined with some type of bedding—shredded paper or towels—to absorb accidents. Prior to your trip, tape a small pouch of dried food outside the crate so airline personnel will be able to feed your pet in case he or she gets hungry during a layover. The night before you leave, freeze a small dish or tray of water for your pet. This way, it can’t spill during loading and will melt by the time he or she is thirsty. Make sure the crate door is securely closed, but not locked, so that airline personnel can open it in case of an emergency.

Make sure your pet’s crate has proper identification. Mark the crate with the words “Live Animal,” as well as with your name, cell phone and destination phone number, and a photo of your pet. Should your pet escape from the carrier, this could be a lifesaver. You should also carry a photograph of your pet.

Tell every airline employee you encounter—on the ground and in the air—that you are traveling with a pet in the cargo hold. This way, they’ll be ready if any additional considerations or attention is needed. If the plane is delayed, or if you have any concerns about the welfare of your pet, insist that airline personnel check the animal whenever feasible. In certain situations, removing the animal from the cargo hold and deplaning may be warranted.

Taking a Road Trip? Traveling with a pet by car involves more than just loading the animal in the back seat and motoring off, especially if you will be driving long distances or plan to be away for a long time. Here are a few car travel safety tips to help you prepare for a smooth and safe trip.

Prep your pet for a long trip. Get your pet geared up by taking him on a series of short drives first, gradually lengthening time spent in the car. If you’re

traveling across state lines, bring along your pet’s rabies vaccination record. While this generally isn’t a problem, some states require this proof at certain interstate crossings.

Keep your pets safe and secure in a well-ventilated crate or carrier. The crate should be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around in. Secure your pet’s crate so it will not slide or shift in the event of an abrupt stop. If you decide to forgo the crate, don’t allow your pet to ride with his head outside the window, and always keep him in the back seat in a harness attached to a seat buckle.

Prep a pet-friendly travel kit. Bring food, a bowl, leash, a waste scoop, plastic bags, grooming supplies, medication and first-aid, and any travel documents. Pack a favorite toy or pillow to give your pet a sense of familiarity. Be sure to pack plenty of water, and avoid feeding your pet in a moving vehicle. Your pet’s travel-feeding schedule should start with a light meal three to four hours prior to departure, and always opt for bottled water. Drinking water from an area he or she isn’t used to could result in stomach discomfort.

Never leave your animal alone in a parked vehicle. On a hot day, even with the windows open, a parked automobile can become a furnace in no time, and heatstroke can develop. In cold weather, a car can act as a refrigerator, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death.

From local bars to Major League baseball stadiums, craft beer has taken over taps across America.

Craft beer sales have grown 15% in the past year alone. Export sales also reached a new record.

What exactly is craft beer? The Brewers Association, the trade industry group for craft beer, defines craft breweries as ones that are “small, independent and traditional.”

Craft brewers annually produce less than 6 million barrels, don’t have a large financial investments from non-craft brewers, and brew beers using traditional ingredients, like malt barley.

The sector still makes up just 10% of the nation’s total beer sales, not coming close to the profits of Anheuser-Busch or MillerCoors. But it’s difficult to ignore the impact the country’s 2,300-plus craft breweries are making.

We talked with Brewers Association Director Paul Gatza to get his take on why the craft beer industry is

taking off.

Beer drinkers are experimenting. A Bud Light isn’t cutting it for many people anymore. Gatza said more and more beer lovers are turning toward full-flavored beers, especially India Pale Ales, seasonal beers, and Belgians.

IPAs in particular have grown 40% during the past three years, which Gatza attributes to a growing number of people who are starting to like the strong hops flavor. “It’s never been a better time to be a beer drinker than right now,” he said.

Breweries are experimenting, too. Brewers are constantly coming up with new hops and beer

flavors to keep customers coming back for more. New breweries are popping up nearly every day, with varieties ranging from Dogfish Head’s Aprihop to Alaskan Brewing Company’s Smoked Porter.

“Craft brewers themselves are continuing to innovate with new beers, new beers styles,” Gatza said. “They started their own business with that idea that, ‘I want to do something different.’”

Retailers are getting more craft beer on the shelves. Since customers are craving it, retailers are responding. Gatza said craft beers are getting into more stores, which is driving demand further.

“Because craft has started picking up more attention and (been) what customers are looking for, it’s encouraged wholesalers and retailers

Beer was invented about 8,000 years ago and since then the brewing process haschanged very little. These days, more and more types and colours of beer are avail-able. How are we to find our way through this maze of choice?

First of all, let’s demystify the ingredients. Beer is essentially water,malt, hops and yeast. Malt is a cereal, usually barleythat has been germinated; hops are plants whichare appreciated for their bitterness and for theirpreserving and aseptic properties.

The first step in making beer is mixing groundmalt with hot water. This combination is thenheated in order to obtain wort, to which is addedan assortment of hops. The quantity, variety andeven the moment when the hops are added areall factors that contribute to the different tastecharacteristics of the beer. During the process,one or two types of yeast are added, and then the

mixture is left to ferment. It is the fermentationprocess that determines the aroma, the alcohol leveland the natural gasification that gives beer its refresh-

ing effervescence. Raw grains can also be added(for example, Budweiser uses rice), as well asherbs and spices.

TYPES OF BEER

Publishers,sales reps!The laws for alcoholsales vary from place

to place.If your town allowsalcohol to be soldin local stores,

this concept will beexcellent for your area.

LAGER OR PILSNERBlond beer, lively, sparkling andrefreshing. This is the most well-known and most commercialised beer.

ALEA beer which is fruitier and spicierthan lagers.

CREAM ALEGolden blond ale, slightly sweetenedwith a smooth, creamy texture and athick, creamy foam or head.

WHITE BEERBeer often fermented in the bottle,which is why there is a deposit at thebottom. It has a slightly aciduloustaste, similar to lemon, and is veryrefreshing.

DRY BEERDry beer has lower levels of residual

sugar and therefore requires moreprocessing in order to transform thesugars. It has a lively taste, a clean,pale finish without any residue andvery little aftertaste.

STOUTS, PORTERSAND BLACK BEERCharacterized by its dark colour andits rich aroma of roasted malt, it isproduced with grains grilled to thepoint of looking like coffee beans.Its flavour, aroma and colour arestronger than other beers. It’s excel-lent as a before-dinner drink or asa dessert.

AMBER AND RED BEERThese beers owe their amber colourand pronounced taste to grilled cere-als or caramelised malt. They have anintense flavour, but are very smoothand creamy.

Did you know?Beer was invented about 8,000

years ago and since then the brewing process has changed very little. These days, more and more types and colours of beer are available.

to get more out there,” he said.

Craft beer is becoming more social. Gatza said if you walked into a bar ten years ago, all you would see were the big name beers. Now, it’s common to see those name brands along with a few imports and a couple of craft beers. And most craft breweries also have a restaurant or tasting room attached, making it easy to spend a night out there with friends.

These on-premise markets are

where a lot of people’s beer habits change. “That’s the front lines of the competition,” Gatza said. “From there, when people find something they like, they’re more likely to buy it when they go out to buy beer at the liquor store.”

Plus, it’s getting more portable. Hundreds of craft brewers are putting to put their beer in cans for the first time, making it easier to lug around than bottled brews while hiking or spending time outdoors. Places like golf

courses and tennis often ban bottles, so canned craft beer is a good next step to expand the market. “Part of it goes to who the craft beer drinker is — a lot of times it’s someone who tends to be an outdoorsy type, tend to go out with friends more,” Gatza said. “There are some places where cans work a little better.”

Let’s face it, you hate that person who comes back into the office after a vacation with a sunny smile and a deep tan. They

feel rejuvenated, refreshed, reborn, but you just wish they would return to their cubicle and be quiet. But, before you go resenting them and their new lease on life, they may be onto something.

Research has discovered what we knew all along - we NEED a vacation.

More and more experts are urging workers to take full advantage of their vacation days to go someplace new, lie on a beach, read a book and do absolutely nothing- and not feel

bad about it! Turns out, there’s some reasoning behind rediscovering the pleasure of napping in a hammock, swimming in the ocean and walking through the woods. These breaks from our everyday life have shown to be profoundly healing to our physiological and physical selves.

Discover nature and rediscover yourself

Vacations, whatever form they take, are a chance to unwind, regroup and take a step back to examine your life from a new place with a new perspective. Traveling, especially abroad or to a place we have never been before, allows us to temporarily leave our old life behind and adopt new customs, new ways

of thinking and looking at the world that can crossover into our everyday lives.

Many people need the time and space away from what they experience every day in order to recognize harmful or self-destructive patterns in their life. Taking time to get away and visit a new place can highlight distinct lifestyle choices; when you are able to directly compare your life choices with others, you can come to a better understanding of your beliefs, practices and actions. By adding this perspective, you can see what you do like, and what, perhaps, you should change.

Another benefit to vacations is

forcing yourself out of the daily rut that you have likely gotten into. Going to a new place can wake you up and shake up your sights, smells, tastes, and feelings. Experiencing all these new senses can help you to better appreciate the surroundings in your day to day life. Vacations can also help prevent burnout at home; by regularly taking time to relax, you can prevent that overworked, under-rested feeling you know too well.

And what better way to experience these new senses than to simply let them wash over you as you sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing. When you do go on a vacation, take a break. Being idle is good for the mind, body and spirit. It is restorative, rejuvenating and, much like taking a long sleep, invigorates you to return to your life fully charged. A good vacation can help us to reconnect with ourselves, operating as a vehicle for self-discovery and helping us get back to feeling our best. This means no blackberrys, no Internet and no working! You can’t take a break from work if you bring it with you.

Aside from your physiological wellbeing, your physical state can benefit from a few days off as well.

Research has uncovered a link between stress at work and overall wellbeing - and it’s not pretty! Trouble at work can lead to headaches, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, and can even cause a stroke.

The best way to combat these symptoms is to slow down the pace and take some time away from work. Vacations can help keep us healthy by lowering our stress levels that

can lead to other problems. The effects of a good get-away can last for weeks, as some research has found that after just three days of vacation, subjects had less physical complaints, slept better and were in an overall better mood than before the vacation. These effects were still present up to five weeks later!

A tiny umbrella for a tiny vacation

If you can’t block out a whole week or two, try to take a weekend to unplug, rent a cabin in the woods and go fishing, rent a boat on a lake, or pitch a tent in a quiet park area- anything to get out of your own head.

If you can’t make it out of your house, here are a few ways to make your stay-cation an oasis:

Turn off your phone/ computer/ T.V.- the world can wait, if only for a few hours.

Get outside- take a walk, ride your bike, play with your kids, do everything you’re too tired to do during the work week.

Don’t knit pick- put down the vacuum cleaner and back away from the sponge, the dust will still be there tomorrow.

Hang out with me, myself and I- spend a day by yourself, doing exactly what makes you happy, whether that’s sleeping till noon, doing the crossword or reading a book- do it all in

peace and quiet.

Learn something- do something you’ve never done before, the new experience can shake up your routine and maybe even give you a new hobby.

Research indicates that traveling is at the top of the list of interests motivating today’s men and women over the age

of 50.

Seniors are perhaps the most likely demographic to indulge their love of traveling. Retirement leaves lots of time for recreation, and many choose to spend that time on the road. Travel also can be improve adult longevity, says geriatricians at the University of Arkansas.

The following is a look at some of the more popular travel opportunities for men and women over 50.

· Genealogical tourism: This is one of the fastest-growing markets in vacation travel. Genealogical tourism involves individuals traveling to areas of historical significance for their families, such as churches where past relatives may have married and villages where grandparents or cousins once resided or were employed. This can create a tangible link to one’s past and open up more opportunities to learn the varied genealogical history that has shaped a family, and even one’s personal identity.

· Extended vacations: Seniors may have the capacity to devote more time to travel and not be caged in by strict time constraints and extend vacations. These can include long-term rentals in tropical locales, several-week sightseeing cruises or guided tours overseas that touch on several different countries or cities during the trip.

· Off the beaten path: Adventurous travelers may not be content to stick to the resort lifestyle or standard vacation options. Active men and women over 50 are charting their own vacation courses with bucket list-style vacations that may be off the beaten path. Travelers who have always aspired to climb a mountain or see a rain forest may be inclined to realize these goals as they get older. Nontraditional tours can include living like indigenous peoples or following the footsteps of early explorers.

· All-inclusive tours: All-inclusive packages remain a popular option for travelers of all ages. These vacation packages charge one price for accommodations, entertainment, sightseeing, food, and many other amenities. All-inclusive vacations remove some of the headaches associated with organizing various components of travel so that a person can focus on relaxation and having fun.

· Singles meets: Single vacationers over 50 may want to meet other men or women in their age bracket in the hopes of finding romance. These vacations double as relationship mixers and give men and women the opportunity to mingle with others in similar situations

without the pressure of traditional dating.
