Information about New Caledonia and some reasons you might want to take a vacation in this part of the South West Pacific

First of all where is New Caledonia?

New Caledonia is an overseas dependent of France, and it lies in the Western Pacific in the Coral Sea with Australia to the west and Vanuatu to the east.

If you want to go to New Caledonia, then the normal way is to fly to the capital city of Noumea, and you can fly direct from Paris by Air France. New Caledonia is a popular place for Japanese tourists so there are direct flights from Tokyo, as well as Air New Zealand, and Quantas. There aren’t a whole lot of flights, and very little competition so prices will be high.

You must have a ticket to leave otherwise they won’t let you in, and you’ll need to check with the airline you are using about visa requirements.

Noumea the capital is full of fine French restaurants, designer boutiques, and for all the world is like Paris in the sun, and it is to be found on the west coast of the large cigar shaped main island called Grand Terre. If you visit new Caledonia you really need to go exploring, because although Grande Terre is an exciting place to be the finest beaches are all on the islands.

At least cross over to the exotic east coast, and go by boat to the Isle of Pines, the Loyalty Group of Islands, and the small uninhabited dependency of Walpole Island.

The d’Entrecasteaux Reefs which consists of two separate stunning lagoons centred around the very small islands of Huon and Surprise. Much more distant are the Chesterfield Islands, but there is plenty to see and enjoy much closer to Grande Terre.

New Caledonia is very much in the south compared to other South pacific Islands, and so its climate is more like the south of France than the Pacific. It is quite cool and windy from June to September, so much so you will need sweaters in the evening, and you will find the sea quite cool. December to March is warm and wet, and is also the hurricane season, so beware.

It is really the stupendous beauty of the Isle of Pines that is the draw, and to visit New Caledonia and not go to the Kuto/Kanumera area, because this is picture postcard country with unbelievable white sand beaches and shimmering turquoise and blue sea.

As a visitor there are things you just have to do.

1. Snorkelling, Diving, and Windsurfing. The places to go include Ilot Canard just outside the Anse Vata if you are a beginner. See the Aguille de Prony which is a quite incredible underwater structure just south of Noumea in the Prony Bay.

2. You could do absolutely nothing except lie around getting a suntan. If you want to do that near Noumea then the Baie des Citrons and the Anse Vata are beaches to visit.

3. Stay at a resort on Ilot Maitre , which is a tiny white sand island reachable by taxi boat from Anse Vata or a boat from the Baie de Mouselle.

4. Stay at one of the resorts on Grande Terre or the Isle of Pines.

5. Hiking and Camping on Grande Terre are popular, and you shouldn’t miss the Parc Riviere Bleu south of Noumea in the Yate region. Do join a hiking group.

You need to be aware that French is spoken everywhere, and very few people will attempt to converse with you in English. You also need to be aware that New Caledonia is extremely expensive as much of the food you will eat has to be imported. This means that restaurants are expensive, so you should shop in the markets and try the local delicacies.

Should I Download CCLeaner?

slow computers are the greatest scourge of those who have to rush a paper or presentation and those for whom creating back-up files is not a hobby. If you are one of those suffering since of sluggish PC. There is a simple and smooth solution. There is nothing like a fast working computer. So the question is where might you find the proper platform that might do the trick and keep the PC in good condition. Following computer experts advise you will discover that there only less than a handful of programs that will essentially fix the drawback. The top ones you know how to see more at registry cleaner reviews. Running a free of charge registry scan with one of the best registry cleaner will help you find out if that is what in reality is causing your PC to run slow . A good registry tool also flags corrupted files, as well as fragmented files, to reduce the risk of the dreadfully famous Blue Screen of Death.

In the sale of a quantity of personal computers CCleaner software is coming as a part of the total package as a free-bee. After a lot of trial and error I come to the conclusion that freeware = adware and that is the motive that I don’t mind spending a little capital and have me an adware free product like Regcure. Are freeware popular? yes and that is exactly what is happening with CCleaner. Nevertheless, there is still more benefits that you know how to get with CCleaner software. CCleaner boasts of a great scan engine that allows it to sweep your computer off of unnecessary files that clutter the system. It has a dual scan system. One of the scan programs will look for error files and entries to detach them for coming deletion. On top of that will also deeply scan for any additional entries that are preventing your PC to run properly. Then the succeeding powerful scan does the task of deleting all those unnecessary files. Its complete the work of the 1st scan protecting the registry and making the whole system much more stable.

Happily you may download CCleaner and have this sophisticated dual scan engine for free that will clean your registry. And that is what makes this software so likable and a quantity of people will still see it as good as Regcure. I prefer Regcure because it is adware free and Windows certified.

Why you should read the National Enquirer

Believe it or not, the ultimate place for copy samples is the National Enquirer. To demonstrate why, I’ll ask you a question: which American newspaper pays it’s writers the most money? What would you guess? The USA Today, Wall Street Journal, New York or Los Angeles Times? Those would be good guesses, but all wrong. You probably already guessed that the answer, of course, is the National Enquirer.

Why would the National Enquirer pay so much money for copy writing? Because good copy sells. It sucks prospects in. And you have to admit, when you’re standing in line waiting to pay for something, it’s hard to resist the seedy, loud headlines of the Enquirer. Heck, the cover alone has kept me pretty well informed about the whole soap opera of Brad and Angelina. Wow.

But if you take a closer look, there’s a ton of psychology behind the neck turning headlines of the Enquirer. As a matter of fact, you should seriously consider actually looking INSIDE the paper (gasp!). I know, what would the neighbors think. But as a blogger or internet marketer, you can learn a lot just from the titles. Here are some actual examples:

-Jessica’s dad: no mo Romo!
-Idol star driven to succeed by murdered friend
-Runway star arrested over cat fight!
-Autopsy report: Blunt impact killed Natasha
-Rihanna’s brother vows revenge on Chris Brown
-Leann Rimes cheating scandal
-Angela Jolie “busted”
-2 more celebs hospitalized!
-Chaotic scene: Octo-mom brings home 2 babies
-How Jen dumped John
-Miley Cyrus: poisonous?
-Top model riot in NY
Ro-Pat panic attack
-DJ AM wants mil…

Every one of these copy samples was carefully thought out by a highly paid professional copy writer. Each one is crafted to build curiosity, create interest, grab our attention, and suck us in. And you have to admit, you probably want to know the rest of the story on some of these, right?

So next time you need to write a blog headline or article, just scan the National Enquirer for copy samples and inspiration. Wait, did I just use the words “National Enquirer” and “Inspiration” in the same sentence? Ouch. But you get the idea.
