Practical Tips: What Gear I Used and Why Plus Some Suggestions

My Camera Kit

I took two bodies and three lenses: Canon 5D Mark III and Mark IV. My Canon 24-70mm f/2.8; 70-200mm f/2.8; and 200-400mm f/4 with 1.4 converter. 

This kit gave me a lot of flexibility for wide shots and varying distances of Antarctic wildlife and landscape elements such as icebergs.

Antarctica (I’m including South Georgia/Falkland Islands) throws wonderful photographic opportunities at you constantly. But rarely at consistent focal lengths. 

I carried two bodies for this reason. One fitted with a long lens for distance and the other for wide angles. You don’t want to risk changing lenses in the field with the wind, sand, snow, or saltwater. At best, you’ll nick your sensor. At worst, something gets into your camera that permanently damages it––no Bueno.

The family travel market is a rapidly growing sector with an estimated worth of £13 trillion. This growth is being driven by several factors, including the rise in disposable incomes, the growth of the middle class in developing countries, and the popularity of ‘bleisure’ travel – combining business travel and leisure travel.

However, the most important factor driving the growth of the family travel market is the increasing demand for all-inclusive holidays. All-inclusive holidays are a type of holiday where all of the costs are included in the price of the holiday. This includes accommodation, meals, drinks, activities, and entertainment.

All-inclusive holidays are popular with families because they offer excellent value for money and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that all of the costs are covered. If you are looking for an all-inclusive holiday for your next family getaway, then read on!

La Rambla is one of the must-visit places in Barcelona with several hot spots to check out. It is considered to be one of the main areas in the city. Because of this, it is extremely popular with tourists. The tree-lined pedestrianised street connects the Plaça de Catalunya with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell.

La Rambla is not just one street, it is a series of shorter streets. These are Rambla de Canaletes (houses Font de Canaletes fountain), Rambla dels Estudis (houses the Church of Bethlehem), Rambla de Sant Josep (flower market), Rambla dels Caputxins (houses the Liceu opera-house) and Rambla de Santa Mònica (arts centre).

There is a lot to see when exploring La Rambla. Here are just a few of the hot spots which are worth visiting in La Rambla during your time in Barcelona.

We developed these Carnival Cruise tips on a two-week Panama Canal cruise from Galveston, Texas aboard the Carnival Freedom. The Freedom is one of the older ships in the Carnival fleet but it was retrofitted and updated in 2004. Today the Freedom has many, but not all, of the fun amenities that are part of the newer Carnival Cruise ships.
