Clean Getaway Travel

My name is Loretta, and I love to travel. Meeting people, visiting exotic places, exploring cultural treasures, sampling different culinary delights, and helping others, these are my passions.

How do I do this without drugs and alcohol? When I was young, I worked my way around the country, traveling to 49 states. What a great experience. And then, living in Key West, a beautiful Tropical Paradise, my traveling seemed to take a backseat to the big party. At some point the “Big Party” wasn’t that much of a party. I would often fantasize about visiting somewhere fabulous, and all my dreams stayed just that, dreams. How could I go anywhere? All of my time was spent chasing the elusive highs of the party lifestyle.

Almost 7 years ago, I woke up. Enough was enough. I had watched my passions fizzle out one by one, and I made some changes, maybe you can relate. Anyway, I did the work, and life got good! Today, I am no longer traveling in a self imposed prison of drugs and alcohol. FREEDOM, Baby, YEAH!

I started around the globe, so what if I want some SOBER traveling companions? I checked into it, and while there were several interesting companies offering alcohol free vacations, none had exactly what I was looking for. Clean Getaway Travel was born…Amazing Sober vacations, with opportunities to help others and enjoy the experience of being in a group of like minded people as we travel the world. One of the highlights of such a trip is the opportunity to attend a meeting in a foreign country, I highly recommend it. My first time in Paris, I went to an English Speaking meeting, and right when I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. Imagine hearing your share translated into French, even complaining sounds pretty! Of course, I had nothing to complain about, after all, I was in Paris. There were people from all different countries there, all with the same thing in common. And the post meeting meeting was at a little Cafe, where 13 of us went for dinner, and shared our experience, strength and hope, over a cafe au lait and some unbelievable food. This is what I love so much, our similarities, and exploring the world through clean and sober eyes, I hope you do to! Please feel free to share your sober travel experiences here, challenges and triumphs! I am filled with gratitude today…

As the world of online radio streaming continues to grow, more and more broadcasters are keeping a keen eye on the shift to other means and methods of listening to their traditional AM/FM programming. I have recently written about the fact that most traditional terrestrial listeners are still listening, just at different times of day, and via different means, such as desktop, mobile and cars.

Wait a minute; aren’t we already in cars, you might ask? Well of course, but we’re not talking about the old car radio head revolution….we’re talking about the internet-enabled car radio head revolution. More and more cars are coming to market with internet access and built-in internet tuners that allow one to pick up 100,000+ stations from around the world in some cases. Chances are, if you are streaming, even for a short time, your station is most likely available on these new tuners via applications like Reciva and TuneIn.

The latest research report from IHS iSuppli Automotive Research shows that the number of automobiles with internet radios integrated into the car will explode to over 24 million units by 2018, a huge increase from 168,000 in 2010. The US market will lead in internet radio sales for automobiles, with over 10 million units, or almost 42% of the world market.

The latest shift in technology of internet-enabled radio heads is towards computer-based programs like SYNC, where functionality is performed by individual applications….think smartphones. The trend is also towards bundled entertainment apps like Pandora, Slacker Radio, Reciva, TuneIn and others that allow listeners to select virtually any station they want from anywhere in the world.

Car maker, Scion, has just launched 17 internet stations. The channels are non-customizable Live365 streams and contain exclusive programming. The real news here is that the new Scion xB includes dashboard smartphone support; Bluetooth streaming, iTunes tagging, USB and more, all controlled via a 5.8 inch touchscreen.

Ford and Toyota just partnered on web-connected car standards for telematics. They are looking for ways to make the in-car technology safer, more secure, and easier to use. Of course, they will be supporting internet radio, like all the car manufacturers are beginning to do, and will also be embracing smartphone dashboard integration as well.

All in all, there are over 50 car models in the US that already have internet radio apps built into their radio heads, or will be by the 2012 model. Europe is running far behind on this, with only BMW and Mini offering internet radio so far. Even China already has 4 car models coming to market that can tune in your favorite station.

What does this mean for today’s terrestrial and internet broadcasters?

You need to be online and streaming in either AAC+ or MP3, the 2 formats adopted by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to be able to ubiquitously stream to all devices, desktops, and mobile phones.

This huge growth market is being supported by geo-targeted advertising, a medium that should reach $18 billion by 2016. Another reason to be taking advantage of the latest streaming formats and technologies that are out there!

For more information on streaming your broadcast in high-quality AAC+, if you aren’t already, please call us or email us. We will be more than happy to get you upgraded!

Willard Water

As we all bake in this summer’s oppressive heat it’s extremely important to stay well hydrated at all times.  75% of our bodies’ weight is comprised of water and that water is distributed in different compartments  throughout the body. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water, blood contains 83%, body fat contains 25%, and bone is 22% water.  It’s safe to say that every single bodily function requires water to effectively perform and that’s why adequate hydration is so essential to maintaining good health.

But how do we ensure we’re getting enough water.  For starters medicine.net (http://www.medicinenet.com/dehydration/article.htm) provides a great chart to help you track how many ounces of water your body will likely need on a daily basis.  In hot weather like this, though, it’s also important to keep in mind that you’re likely losing more water through sweat so it’s always better to err on the side of caution and drink more water.  Another great way to ensure hydration is by making sure you’re adding Willard Water to your drinks.

In fact, one of the very first experiments Dr. Willard performed with his newly invented Willard Water involved hydration.  As a professor of chemistry at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Dr. Willard had a readily available supply of test subjects in his students and they were always willing to work with him on his studies.  Even today, we’re constantly hearing from Dr. Willard’s former students regarding those “early days” of Willard Water development and the studies he did on hydration were apparently very popular.  What Dr. Willard and his students found in these studies is that the Willard Water not only helps the body deliver nutrients, minerals and electrolytes throughout the body but it also helps the cells absorb, and retain, that much needed water.  Subsequent studies on both plants and animals indicated that the Willard Water actually works BETTER under more extreme heat and dehydration conditions.

So, if you’re worried about hydration in the dog days of summer, remember to add some Willard Water to your daily routine.  It will help keep you well hydrated and healthy as your body struggles to keep up with these record temperatures.  As an added incentive, use the coupon code hot2011 on our website at drwillard.com or when calling us at 888-379-4552 and you’ll get 25% off your entire order.

Stay safe and enjoy!
