Be Blister-free On Your Outdoor Vacation
Rather than lengthy travel overseas or costly vacation rentals along a popular beach, you have decided to try an outdoor vacation. From the many choices of outdoor vacations available, from kayaking to authentic dude ranches, you have opted for a simple hike through a beautiful forest or wilderness. Depending on the location, you may simple get in the car and drive to a nearby state park or forest after which you will find yourself amidst beautiful scenery away from the nearby urban environment.
So, after a few hours you have been on the trail and decide to make your way back. You have several miles to go, but realize you have blisters. This can turn an enjoyable hike into misery.
Blisters result from the friction between your sock and skin and, therefore, the inside wall of your boot. The best hiking boots and socks can even allow for slippage of the foot inside the boot, that which can lead to potential for blisters caused by the painful friction.
A good pair of socks can help minimize this problem. Though cotton, silk and wool are some of the more common materials, hikers today have a variety of choices. When combined with traditional materials, Lycra and some polyester materials can do a good job as well.
Other features of socks are important to help reduce this slippage and friction also, and the new construction methods in socks are contribution much. For instance, thicker sections and a lack of ridges can help socks reduce the friction. Their thermal properties and moisture-wicking capabilities also help improve the general environment around the foot inside the boot.
Your selection of a proper, quality hiking boot can also contribute to minimizing the possibility of friction and, ultimately, blisters. Yes, many stiff hiking boots will loosen somewhat as you wear them, but it really is important to find a boot that fits right and is comfortable right away.
If you decide to remove your boots during the hike and slip them into a cold creek, be sure to dry your feet off completely before re-booting. Also, make sure there are no ridges on your sock and gravel inside the boot.
However, if you still feel a blister forming, remove your boot and use some water to rinse off the area. Disinfect the area with anti-bacterial cream or alcohol if you have it. Then, puncture it horizontally by using a clean, disinfected needle and squeeze out the fluid inside. Do not tear off or remove the skin, but rather place a bandage over the area to serve as an “artificial skin” until it heals.
Once at home, treat the area better with Benzoin or another anti-bacterial cream. Though not in ever case, you may need to cut away the flap of skin but only if a good portion of the skin has become loose. Otherwise, it will fall off or decay on its own.
As you see, selection of you hiking gear is important. Be prepared so you can enjoy the entire hike from beginning to end!

Help answer the question about outdoor vacation
I'm a noob with a D3000. What kind of lens-flash do I need for vacation indoor-outdoor setting?I'm a noob with a D3000, the flash + 18-55mm and a MacBook Pro. What kind of lens-flash do I need for vacation indoor-outdoor setting? I know it can be many options, but I am looking for a simple set-up that will work well in all situations. And I'm on the move so much that I don't like carrying a lot of lenses.

I suggest either Fujicolor PRO400H (ISO 400) or Kodak Portra 400VC (ISO 400, Vivid Color). Both are fine grain fast film and if your BF is a beginner it allows a higher shutter speed at a given f-stop. His success rate will be much higher.

Go to a resort. My parents have a timeshare at Lawrence Welk Resorts in Escondido, California, and I love it there. It's very kid friendly and close to a lot of places like the San Diego Zoo, Legoland, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, etc. I have to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer now with two kids and especially when they were little babies. Hope this helps!
If you plan to go to the Grand Canyon, consider also checking out the canyon country of southern Utah. Do the "Grand Loop" to see Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches National Parks. Bryce Canyon is one of the most fantastic sights in the southwestern U.S.

You can cross the Colorado River at Lake Powell

Utah Route 12 is one of the most scenic roads in the country. Red Canyon and Big Thunder Road in Dixie National Forest is the inspiration for Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain (see the picture I took in link below)

A must see is Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park
http://www.nps.gov/seki/index.htm
There are many trails that connect the Sequoia groves.
http://www.sequoia.national-park.com/hike.htm
Besides the Sequoias, there is a rare marble cave in the park (most caverns are limestone). Crystal Cave is accessed by a picturesque half-mile trail that leads to the Merced river valley.

Moro Rock is a great hike. You climb nearly 400 stone steps to the top of the barren rock (6,725-foot elevation)

Enter the park from the south, CA Route 198. It doesn't allow RV's or trailers so there is less traffic. It's a mountain road that climbs thousands of feet, has great hairpin turns and the views are spectacular.

There is lodging at Three Rivers, CA and it is close to the entrance.

BTW if you plan to go to more then one National Park, buy the annual pass, it's cheaper and it's good for a year.

my cat loved to travel and would sit on my lap while I drove. that's really not a good idea. animals should be kept in pet carriers while the car is moving. feed him in the carrier. stop every couple of hours at a roadside rest stop and let him out of the carrier to use a litter box. you can put a harness and leash on him, but he probably wouldn't like that. he might like the summer home. he'll spend the first day or 2 sniffing all around and exploring his new surroundings. how far are you going? how long will it take? it will take longer with the cat if you make frequent stops.
Why not ask a neighbor, or pay a local kid to do it? It's outdoors so they don't have to come into your home.
