Before you can obtain a vehicle from a car hire, Portugal law requires you to have both a valid U.S. drivers license and an International Driving Permit (IDP). This permit is honored in more than 150 countries outside of the U.S. and can be obtained for less than $20.

According to the U.S. Department of State, only the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Automobile Touring Alliance (via the National Auto Club) are authorized distributors of IDPs. To apply for an IDP, you will need to be at least 18 years of age and present two passport-sized photographs in addition to your valid U.S. drivers license. You can obtain an IDP either at your local AAA or National Auto Club office or complete an application and mail it to the nearest office. Be sure to allow enough time for processing—and trust us, it’s worth the wait. Once you obtain your vehicle from the care hire, Algarve will be ready for you to explore.

When planning a Disney vacation, it might see like you and your family just doesn’t have the time that you need to see and do everything that you want. Luckily, Disney World understands how precious your vacation time is and has taken steps to ensure that you’ll be able to make the most of your hours in their parks. Since 1999, the Fastpass system has allowed visitors to the park to skip the lengthy lines for some of the most popular attractions. At certain rides and shows, a machine that dispenses Fastpass tickets can be found outside. By inserting your park pass, you will receive a Fastpass for that attraction, basically granting you access to a virtual queue with a certain time you will need to return to the attraction. This allows you the opportunity to enjoy the park while you’re “in line” for the ride of your choosing. Only one Fastpass can be held by a guest at a time, but anyone with a park pass can obtain them, even if you purchased cheap Disney World tickets.

Are you considering a Cayman Island rental or resort for your next vacation with family or friends? You’re in good company–this Caribbean paradise is a popular spot for tourists and vacationers of every ilk, particularly those who are looking to enjoy some spectacular scuba diving amongst the beautiful coral reefs. Looking at the charming British influence and beautiful Cayman villas that line the coast, it can be hard to imagine the days when this vacation spot was still a tropical wilderness.

Originally, the two smaller islands (Cayman Brac and Little Cayman) were named Las Tortugas by none other than the famous Christopher Columbus himself, who stumbled across them on May 10, 1503. The name came from the sea turtles that were found to reside there. By the 1530s, the islands had taken on the name “the Caymanes”, taken from the Carib term for a type of marine crocodile that was also found on the islands. That of course is the name that stuck, with the Grand Cayman Islands being quite well known today.

Today, the Caymans are considered a British Overseas Territory. The first recorded Englishman to visit the islands was the famous Sir Francis Drake, back in the year 1586. His report included information that the caymanas could be used as a source of food. However, crews of ships on the hunt for fresh meat to feed themselves generally turned to the turtles.

The first permanent inhabitants of the islands were recorded over a century later, around the early 1700s. There were a wide range of people who chose to settle on these islands: those seeking refuge from the horror of the Spanish Inquisition, shipwrecked sailors, pirates, and slaves. If you visit the islands for a Caribbean vacation, you’ll find that most of the locals today are of British and African descent.
