			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">A two-year construction project at Denver International Airport (DIA) is set to begin its South Terminal Redevelopment Program to construct a train station, hotel and public plaza. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">DIA has announced changes for all ground transportation vehicles including detours for cars entering and exiting the airport. On Saturday May 19, DIAPark will begin dropping-off all customers on Level 5 East and picking-up all customers on Level 5 West. Previously they were able to drop-off and pick-up on both East and West. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Also DIAPark will no longer be allowed to drop off customers curbside, all customers will be dropped-off at the Level 5 East Island 3 median. On your return trip, exit the airport on the West side through door #506, proceed to the Island 3 median and wait near the sign &quot;Off-Airport Parking&quot;. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">For customers needing assistance, an airport representative will be available at Island 3 or you may contact your airline in advance:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
	&nbsp;<br />
	Frontier/Jet Blue&nbsp;(303) 342-7789<br />
	United/US Airways&nbsp;(303) 348-4885<br />
	All other airlines&nbsp;(303) 435-9993</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">DIAPark does not know what delays this may cause in pick-up and drop-off times at the airport. In conjunction with DIA, DIAPark advises customers to give themselves a little more time. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">For construction information and updates, call the DIA Construction Hotline at (303) 342-6400.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Here are some tips to make your next family vacation both stress-free and enjoyable.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Plan Ahead &ndash; Start 9 months in advance for the best airlines seats, hotels and available room categories.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Family Needs &ndash; The best &ldquo;family&rdquo; resort will be one that fits your family&rsquo;s needs and desires. Which resort is best for your family depends on the age of your kids and the interests of every member of the family. Find out what your family is looking for in a vacation. Does everybody want to relax on a beach, hike a mountain, visit a national park, play at a waterpark, go shopping or visit museums and cultural sites?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Strike a Balance &#8211; Once you know your family needs, search for a vacation spot that has a little of something for everyone. Don&rsquo;t sacrifice adult time for the kids. Plenty of resorts offer amenities for big kids, little ones as well as adults. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Look for Options &#8211; As fabulous as the giant slide might be, your kids might get bored going to the same pool every day. And parents might get sick of eating the same fare every night. Consider destinations that offer a variety of options for everyone in the group.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Childcare Needs &ndash; Look for a resort that will fit your childcare needs. Most places have child-care during the day, but then you have to hire in the evening. Some offer child care and even kids camp activities in the evening, which makes it easier for parents to enjoy some alone time, too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">All Offerings Are Not Created Equal &#8211; When faced with two options that appear attractive but vary in price, do your homework to determine exactly what you&#39;re getting, especially with all-inclusive deals. How qualified are the child-care providers? Is the kids&#39; club just a room with a supervisor and a few board games, or is it more elaborate? Does one resort&rsquo;s food option vastly outweigh the others? Talk to an expert or people who&#39;ve been there.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Travel Insurance &ndash; It&rsquo;s always a good idea to purchase travel insurance, especially when traveling with children. Through raising children, all parents have learned to expect the unexpected. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Family Fun &#8211; one of the most important things to remember when planning your family vacation is that vacations are supposed to be fun. Focus on spending time with your family and not on over-planning the daily activities.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);"><img alt="" height="173" src="http://yotourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/family-vacation-trip-to-europe.jpg" width="260" /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">One interesting trend to emerge in recent years is the growth of so-called voluntourism, whereby travelers spend their vacation time helping others. Now you can replace five pounds of space in your luggage with items needed by schools and medical facilities in 39 destinations worldwide such as St. Lucia and Nicaragua.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">Pack for a Purpose has partnered with select hotels to promote the program, and the hotels become involved by delivering the donations directly to the organization. Through Pack for a Purpose, guests can also visit the donation site themselves.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">&quot;Five pounds equals a stethoscope, a blood pressure cuff and 500 Band-Aids; or five deflated soccer balls with an inflation device; or 400 pencils,&quot; said Pack for a Purpose founder Rebecca Rothney.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">At the Landings St. Lucia, a RockResort in Castries, Saint Lucia, for example, participants will see the supplies they bring go toward a charity called Grow Well, which runs social programs for youth in crisis in Gros Islet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105);">To learn more about Pack for a Purpose or to get involved, you can visit</span> <a href="http://www.packforapurpose.org">www.packforapurpose.org</a>.</p>
