If you're going on a vacation sometime soon, you'll probably be thinking about what kinds of things you want to pack. You'll want to make sure you pack plenty of batteries of film for a camera. You'll want to make sure that any bottled liquids are packed in your suitcase if you're planning to take a plane. You'll want to make sure you have any first aid or extra food you might want. There are a number of things on your packing checklist, but what about the different kinds of clothing you want to pack? If you're going to a tropical place, you'll obviously want to pack a bathing suit. If you plan on going to the beach more than one day in a row, you'll want to pack more than one bathing suit, because you'll want your other suit to have time to dry out. You'll also want to bring multiple beach towels, so that you don't have to buy any or use hotel towels. You might also want to bring a cover up, so you can go to a restaurant or tourist shop straight from the beach, without having to wear your bathing suit around everywhere. If you're planning on going to a popular tourist attraction, you'll want to wear comfortable shoes. A vacation is not a good time to try and break in new shoes....more

Travel writers therefore not only viewed foreign landscapes but also visually or verbally represented these landscapes for others to see (Pratt 1992). Representations elevate and privilege certain views that became symbolic of larger cultural movements. Thus, representations produced by colonial travelers reinforced colonial possession of the landscapes and further appropriated them in Merrell Boot their representations through means such as landscape associations and aesthetic landscape concepts.In order to examine trends of landscape appreciation based on the use of aesthetic concepts in these popular geographies at this incipient stage of tourism development for the Caribbean region, I used travel narratives as the principal source of primary data in this study. These narratives were published texts that contributed to the creation of popular geographies through the description of unfamiliar landscapes to the reading public. It is often cautioned that published sources may be unreliable due to the selectivity and subjectivity of topics as well as the fact that they are packaged for commercial sale. However, I determined that these sources were appropriate for this study because,...more
