On occasions, my husband takes overnight business trips. To prevent loneliness, he often invites me to go along with him. Whenever I discover what city we will be visiting, I immediately start researching it. For instance, I map out landmarks we’ve never seen, restaurants with good reviews, entertainment options, and hotels that look appealing. By the time we get in the car, board the plane, or get on the train, every minute of our trip is already planned out. If your spouse travels frequently for work, consider mixing business with pleasure from time to time. On this blog, you will discover how to make the most of an upcoming business trip.

Tips For Renting A Kayak For The First Time
Delores Tucker
If you're looking for a new outdoor activity to try this summer, kayaking can be an option to pursue. Instead of spending a lot of money to buy a boat, a better option is to rent a kayak. You can do this a few times to see how you like this activity. Doing so is affordable and can produce hours of enjoyment. For a first-time kayak renter, there are several tips that you'll want to keep in mind as a way to maximize your enjoyment of the outing. Here are three tips to think about.
Go With An Experienced Kayaker
While kayaking on your own can be a relaxing and enjoyable outdoor activity, it's generally a good idea to find an experienced kayaker to accompany you during your first outing. You'll likely feel more confident on the water when you have someone with you. You don't necessarily need to rent a tandem kayak and paddle together. Having your own kayak will allow you to better get the hang of paddling — and having a friend who can offer encouragement and instruction from their own kayak just a few yards away will be welcome. If you aren't able to find an experienced kayaker to accompany you during your first outing, make sure to ask someone at the rental shop for an in-depth tutorial.
Pick A Calm Day
There's a good chance that you'll look for a sunny day in the forecast when you plan your first kayak outing, but you should be thinking about more than just the temperature. It's important to also consider the wind forecast. High winds can be less than optimal for a first-time kayaker. They'll make the water rougher, and you'll also find that it's challenging to paddle into the wind. Ideally, you should look for a forecast that estimates that the wind will be less than 11.5 miles per hour.
Choose The Right Kayak
Kayak rental companies often have a few types of boats available to rent. As a novice, you'll want to ensure that you pick the right one. In general, a sit-on-top kayak will be a good choice for you. It's easy to get in and out of this type of kayak. You should also look for one that has a wider hull. Wider hulls offer more stability, which will help to make you feel more confident when you're paddling. Contact a kayak rental company for more information.
