Remote Lands Offers VIP Security at 2008 Beijing Olympics
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 19, 2008 -- As tourists crowd the already congested streets of Beijing this summer, travel for those requiring personal security becomes increasingly more difficult. Remote Lands, the world's foremost luxury travel designer focused exclusively on Asia, is offering its VIP clients the utmost in comfort and security during their journeys to the Summer Olympics this year.
The company can offer specialized security measures such as expedited customs, helicopter rides to avoid traffic, access to dedicated traffic lanes and closed streets as well as security details staffed by local police. Remote Lands' menu of services within Beijing begins at $20,000 a day and goes up from there depending on number of staff, size of police and motorcycle escorts and other incidentals.
Clients of Remote Lands will be greeted at their arrival gate or at the private jet hangar of their FBO (fixed-base operator) at Beijing Capital International Airport and taken via security-monitored hallways to an exclusive customs area through which they will be quickly granted access to the country. A chauffeured luxury sedan, staffed by two private security guards, will drive guests to their hotel and remain with them throughout the duration of their visit to China.
For those requiring additional security measures, police escorts on motorcycle can accompany the sedan on any leg of the journey. Remote Lands will arrange for local police to brief all security staff traveling with clients, with daily updates of any possible security risks. They can also escort visitors to and from any Olympic events or other engagements. Clients will also have access to closed roads and dedicated traffic lanes, to ensure they are able to best navigate Olympic traffic. For those attending Olympic events at Beijing National Stadium or National Aquatics Center, both located outside of the city center, Remote Lands will arrange for a private helicopter to transport them from their accommodations to the venues. Once there, they will be taken around the entrance line and escorted quickly to their seats, accompanied at all times by their staff of security guards. These personnel are trained and experienced in terrorism management, first aid, evacuation situations, and fire safety. They are multi-lingual, can seamlessly integrate with local police and use the newest security technologies such as remote video monitoring.
For clients looking to extend their time in China and visit locales beyond the bustle of the Beijing Olympics, Remote Lands creates inimitable itineraries, taking the discerning traveler to such far-flung destinations as Lijiang and Shangri-La in Yunnan Province, Dunhuang, Kashgar and Wulingyuan where few Western tourists visit. Remote Lands ensures that travelers experience China in a truly intimate, enriching way with trips to the Mogao Caves, site of the most well-preserved Buddhist frescoes in the world; overnight stays outside of Kashgar in a traditional Uighur yurt; dinners with local families and more.

Inline Skating Technique -- Longer Strides and Glides
Sometimes, especially on trails longer than 20 miles, and in high heat in the middle of the summer, you may start to fatigue due to dehydration or if your caloric burn has exceeded your caloric intake for the day.

We Need More Skate Parks
Do you have skate parks in your city? Are you aware of the significant impact skate parks can have on a city or town? Most skateboarders are all too familiar with the "No Skateboarding" signs that are posted in many desirable skating locations. Providing towns with skate parks gives the skaters a safe, designated place to skate and it benefits the youth of the community as well as all of a community as a whole.
The World Of Skate Parks
Many things are a mystery to me. Actually, anything that I am not familiar with seems mysterious to me. I don't really understand the world of race car driving, for example, because it is totally foreign to me. I definitely do not understand people who spend hours each day doing crossword puzzles. I can never sit still long enough to do one puzzle let alone hours worth each day. But to me, the biggest mystery used to be the world of skate parks. I didn't understand why people went to them or what kind of people you could find there. That's all changed now, since I've spent some time at a skate park myself.
Skate Or Die; Words To Live By
You may have heard the skater phrase "skate or die" from a skate fan close to you or even on television or a skate movie. For many hardcore skater fans, these are words to live by or die by. Skating is so much a way of life for them that to be denied the opportunity would be a fate worse than death.
Inline Skates and Exercise Benefits
Inline skating is a fun way to get in shape and stay fit especially on warm sunny days when it's a lot more enjoyable to exercise outdoors than on a treadmill or exercise bike indoors at the gym. These days most cities have nicely paved paths through parkland, beach and waterfront areas to make your rollerblading experience more enjoyable.
