Weather too hot or cold to walk outside? Try walking in water at the nearest indoor pool.

Water aerobics is a great exercise for many people, but it is really not my cup of tea. I prefer to go to the pool and either swim or walk back and forth along the lane markers.

With all the walking I do outside I am always surprised with how tired I am after walking a few lengths of the pool. And I can definitely feel it in all of my muscles including my arms. But the best part is that I don't feel any pain in my joints. Swimming can bother my neck and running bothers everything. Because the water makes you buoyant, doing any exercise in water puts less stress on your joints and muscles than most other sports.

International cell phone rentals are the perfect addition to your backpack when you go walking the world. International cell phones are very expensive for US residents and don't make sense for most of us. If you travel internationally only a few times a year and then only for pleasure, international cell phone rental is the answer.

My sister rented a PlanetFone when were traveling in Rome. I have to admit that I was more than a little skeptical but it turned out to be a lifesaver when her wallet was stolen in Termini Train station. She was able to call her husband from the train and he cancelled all their credit cards before the train left the station.

PlanetFone makes international cell phone rental easy and convenient. In our case, my sister was in New York City for a wedding and the phone was delivered to the address where she was staying. When she returned home she put the international cell phone in the mail and the deal was complete.

I avoided buying Teva sandals for years. Everyone in my family owned a pair of Teva's and they wore them everywhere. I resisted, thinking they were the ugliest shoes ever made and on top of that the colors were terrible.

A few years ago I finally relented and bought my first pair of Teva sandals, but I had to look everywhere to find a pair of basic, all black Teva's. I finally bought a pair of kid's Teva's, because they were the only ones I could find. Well, the makers of Teva sandals have finally gotten wise and now offer an all black Teva in men's, women's and kids styles.
