TIME TO PLAN THATVACATION


WHERE DO YOUR NEIGHBORS GO?TRAVELTens of millions of visitors come to

Florida every year, and a good manyof them come to Volusia County.That’s no surprise.

But where do East Volusia residentsgo when they want to travel? Well,that depends on whom you ask.

“Cruises to the Caribbean, andthey’re going back to Europe,” saidDenise Goins, owner of DiscoveryTravel in South Daytona. “People aredoing their bucket lists and going toAlaska and Hawaii or to Europe —some big trip.”

“In my office, it’s Europe or cruisesto the Caribbean or Panama, depend-ing on the time of year,” said AngieSharon, owner of Beachside Travel inNew Smyrna Beach.

But Marcya Wantuch, owner ofRoyal Coach Tours & Cruises in PortOrange, said this time of year, thetravel markets are closer to home.

“During the winter, snowbirds liketo take day trips (by bus), some placewithin a two-hour radius, like AmeliaIsland,” Ms. Wantuch said. “They alsoenjoy mystery trips, not knowingwhere they’re going but knowingthey’ll have a good time.”

Royal Coach also offers multi-daytrips by bus, such as a 3-day/2-nighttrip to Fort Myers she led last monthor the trek to Key West she leads near-ly every year.

“They also like cruises, which arevery easy because (the price)includes food and entertainment,”she added.

Sheryl Emmett, owner of VivoTours, also offers trips within thestate.

“I want to educate (my clients)about Florida,” Ms. Emmett said. “I’mtrying to do things they would neverthink to do on their own. … Fun andcreative trips.”

For example, a Vivo trip might takein Micanopy, near Cross Creek whereMarjorie Rawlins lived and wrote

“The Yearling” and other stories, andtowns to the north such as HighSprings and Alachua, both of whichhave historic downtowns. Or it mightbe a day in Jacksonville, which has awealth of things to do that most peo-ple are unaware of, she said.

“(I take clients) somewhere theyhaven’t been, where they can spendthe day and maybe have a nicelunch,” she said.

Vivo’s day trips tend to stay in Flori-da, but Ms. Emmett also organizesovernight trips, such as her annualvisit to Macon, Ga., ever year to seethe cherry blossoms. She also has amulti-day trip by train coming up toYbor City and the Tampa area

“For me, it’s just a love of goingplaces and learning something new,”she said. “There are all kinds of thingsyou can make into fun tours, andthat’s my job.”

Some travel agencies offer trips to

other destinations, too.“What we’re seeing is Europe is too

expensive and risky, but cruises arealways popular,” said Don Franchi ofAtlas Travel in Port Orange. “(And)we’re seeing a lot of tours to Alaskaand Hawaii; they are popular rightnow.”

But Franchi said the popularity ofAlaska and Hawaii as destinationscan be “almost a cyclical thing, withHawaii being popular one year andnot so much the next year. … Maybe(those trips are popular) because it’ssafer than travel to Europe, too.”

Ms. Goins is active in the local Pol-ish-American Club, so she gets a lotof folks who want to travel to EasternEurope to see where their familiescame from.

“Not just Poland, but other coun-tries, too, (such as) Lithuania,” shesaid.

Our travel experts agree that during

the winter, most East Volusia resi-dents stay home unless they’re takinga cruise.

“They stay here and wait for thefamilies to come visit them,” Ms.Goins said, citing Bike Week as justone of the attractions for out-of-towners.

While winter and summer are thebusy seasons for cruises, she saidtravelers can get better prices in Mayand the September-to-Novemberperiods both for cruises and for tripsto Europe.

Ms. Sharon of Beachside Travel saidlocal residents don’t want to headnorth in the winter.

“It’s too cold,” she said. “In the win-ter, I get snowbirds who want to trav-el. Fall and spring are kind of dead-ish, but you can get a lot of discountsthen.”

For Royal Coach Tours, the busyseason is “usually September toApril,” Ms. Wantuch said.

“But we still have day trips occa-sionally,” she said. “Right now wehave six lined up for May, and oneeach in June, July and August.”

The locals who go on cruises gener-ally drive to the port where they willboard the ship; typically, for EastVolusia residents, that means an easydrive to Port Canaveral. But as Ms.Goins pointed out, cruise ships alsouse ports in Jacksonville, West PalmBeach, Fort Lauderdale/Miami andTampa.

Some frequent travelers do maketrips involving flights to out-of-statedestination. Goins said most of themwould use Orlando International Air-port because the fares are lower andthere are more airlines linking it withmany more destinations. But somepeople would rather use DaytonaBeach International Airport whenthey can.

Diane Rogers and her husband,Gene, fall into that category. The NewSmyrna Beach couple travel a lot anduse Discovery Travel’s services, she

5FOREVER YOUNG VOLUSIA CountyHOMETOWN NEWS

March 2013

When traveling, especiallyoverseas, follow these “tried andtrue” tips from Denise Goins atDiscovery Travel:

— Travel with your passport aswell as your birth certificate and dri-ver’s license. If you lose one, the otherdocuments will help you prove youridentity!

— Always take Xerox copies ofyour passport and driver’s license,and leave a copy at home.

— Take notes of your credit cardnumbers and the important tele-phone numbers for customer serv-ice for those credit cards. If they arelost or stolen, you will know whomto call.

— Call your credit card companiesand advise them what countries you

will visit, on which dates and withwhat ship or tour company.

— A BIGGY: if a husband and wifeare traveling together, pack half ofeach other’s clothes in the other’ssuitcase. The chance of two suitcas-es getting lost is half as likely.

— Use the new squeeze-by-handvacuum-packing bags. They aregreat because they compress yourclothes to 1/4 the thickness, and theapparel get less wrinkled because itdoesn’t slosh around in your suit-case.

— Always travel with a small roll ofpacking tape; it can repair your suit-case, shoes, handbags, glasses, andother items.

For details on these and other top-ics, go to www.tsa.gov.

TIPS FOR TRAVELERSsaid.

“I prefer Daytona Beach if I can,”Diane Rogers said. “I like to flyDelta, which goes through Atlanta,but I like the Atlanta airport.”

The cost of flying out of DaytonaBeach isn’t much more than that offlying out of Orlando, Ms. Rogerssaid. And the local airport is muchmore convenient, as the couple dis-covered when they arrived homefrom an early February trip toPhoenix, Ariz.

“Our flight from Atlanta was anhour late, but it was no problem atDaytona coming in at 11 p.m.,” shesaid. “It would have been a problemcoming back to Orlando that late.”

But sometimes, the Rogerses haveto settle for using OIA, like on a tripto California they took with anothercouple later in the month. The four-

some was able to cut down on thenumber of layovers by flying out ofOrlando, she said.

Donna Lampe of Daytona Beachis another customer who takes Dis-covery Travel cruises a couple oftimes a year. But Lampe, a widow,also usually makes two trips a yearto see her adult children — one inOregon and the other in California.

“If all I do is fly and have a carrental, I do it myself online,” Ms.Lampe said. “I use (Ms. Goins) forcruises. I wouldn’t do that on myown. As a travel agent, she knowsthe ins and outs.”

And she appreciates some of theother advantages a good travelagent can provide. In her case, Ms.Goins helps find traveling partnersfor her so they can get double-occupancy rates instead of payinghigher single-occupancy rates.

“I’m very, very comfortable usingher,” Ms. Lampe said.

Work is becoming a memory. Goodfood, beautiful scenery and a greattime are ahead. In Georgia Interstate95 is under construction as usual, butthe traffic’s flowing pretty well.

Then a noise, something doesn’tfeel right, doesn’t smell right. Steamis billowing from under the hood.Better pull over. Just like that you canfind yourself having a Chevy Chasevacation, at the mercy of a roadsiderepair shop mechanic in anotherstate who will stare at you without anounce of compassion as he swipesyour credit card adding an extrathousand or two to your balance.

Chilling isn’t it?That’s the price of procrastination.

John Abramovic has ownedOrmond Fine Autos in OrmondBeach since he retired 10 years ago.The former insurance agent doesn’ttake chances, and he doesn’t want hiscustomers to, either. He’s seen itbefore. The factory designates 80,000miles as the time to change the tim-ing belt. The car owner lets it slide to110,000 and ends up having to buy anew engine. Unlike the insensitiveroadside guy in Georgia, Mr.Abramovic cannot bear to see peoplein this situation.

So, with every oil change, OrmondFine Autos completes a 28 pointcheck including hoses, belts, fluids,brakes, coolants, wiper blades,hydraulic system, tires, struts,shocks, muffler/exhaust pipes, bat-tery cables, filters, air conditioning,

leaks, fuel injectors and more. “A basic oil change is always the

first thing you should do,” Mr.Abramovic said. “Get belts, fluids andhoses checked. Those are very inex-pensive things that could be a night-mare on the road.”

Other things Mr. Abramovic saidpeople tend to neglect are lights andtires.

“There could be a license plate lightor brake light out,” he said. “It’s justthe price of a light bulb when whoknows what the price of a ticket insome other state would be?”

Correct tire pressure saves moneyin fuel and wear and tear on tires, headded.

“Another really important thing isthe spare tire,” Mr. Abramovic said.“Some people with new cars don’t

even know where their spare is. Orthe spare sits so long that it’s gone flatand the car owner doesn’t realize ituntil it’s needed.”

Prevention is best, but Mr.Abramovic advises customers to calltheir hometown technician if theyfind themselves in the hands of amechanic elsewhere who’s tellingthem they need costly repairs.

“Put that technician on the phonewith your regular technician, the oneyou trust, and have him explain theproblem, the price and other details.There are a lot of unscrupulous peo-ple out there,” Mr. Abramovic said.

Within 100 miles of anyhome in Volusia County,there is a wealth of unex-

pected and fun places to visit.Some like the Orlando theme parks

and Daytona International Speedwayare obvious, but there are manysmaller and less well-known spotsthat also can be entertaining. Takingthe time to investigate some of theseout-of-the-way spots can be reward-ing.

One of my favorites is Spring Gar-den Ranch near DeLeon Springs inWest Volusia. The ranch is a largetraining facility for trotter horses andjockeys. The restaurant that overlooksthe big clay track serves a nice break-fast and lunch, and while you dine,you can watch the trainers put thehorses through their paces throughthe big windows. The whole scene is

pastoral and soothing to the sensesand jangled nerves of urban dwellers.Some may recall the ranch was fea-tured in an iconic TV commercialback in the 1980s. The ad told of thespecial place deep in the centralFlorida forests and warned if youvisit, don’t bring your Master Card.Visa was then the only card theyaccepted. That has changed, but thebeauty of Spring Garden Ranch has-n’t. Call (386) 985-5654 for details.

Also in DeLeon Springs, you willfind a rustic pancake house inDeLeon Springs State park. You canhave breakfast in a most unique way.

The restaurant provides the materialsfor you to cook your pancakes on thegriddle at the center of each table.Good fun for the whole family. If yourgrandkids are mostly bored spendingtime with you, this one is guaranteedto be a hit with them. The beautifulspring boil is a year-round swimminghole and there is boating available. Toget in on the fun, call (386) 985-4212.

Another spring to visit is Ocala’sfamous Silver Springs. While the parkand glass bottom boat rides can begreat fun, you might want to try boat-ing it on your own. Just west of the bigOcklawaha River Bridge on StateRoad 40, you will find public boatramps where you may launch youroutboard, canoe or kayak to traversethe gorgeous Silver River. From thelaunch up to the spring boil is a long,no wake ride of about four miles.

Along the way you may encounterFlorida whitetail deer, wild hogs andturkeys, otters, scores of turtles andmany alligators. The most famousresidents there are the troops of wildrhesus monkeys that inhabit theshore. Word has it that years ago a fewmonkeys were either left behind orreleased by a movie company andthrough the years they have donequite well. Now there are several largefamilies that come to the waters edgeto beg for food. The river itself isenough for you to make the trip. Inmost places it is over 30 feet deep andso clear you can spot a dime on thebottom. When my own children wereyoung, we watched a seven-foot alli-gator trying to chase down a riverotter in the deep, clear water. Thatwas an exciting sight to be sure.

Over on the east coast, don’t for-get about the original Marineland,the oldest water park in the U.S.There you can swim with the dol-phins and see a great show and itlies just 15 miles north of FlaglerBeach. Back in the day, the placewas the site of many movies withthe most famous being “The Crea-ture From The Black Lagoon.”While the attraction is great, youwon’t want to miss the beach. Asyou may or may not know, there isno natural stone in Central orSouth Florida but there the beachis laden with boulders. The big“rocks” are actually fossilizedseashells, coral, sand and clay inthe form of coquina, the onlysolid building material foundlocally. For show times, call (877)933-3402.

Those are some of my favoriteplaces in Florida and they are allwithin a few hours drive. Enjoy.

Staying afloat: tips for beginnersBOATINGLearning to boat or sail is similar to

learning to drive an automobile. Nei-ther one happens overnight. Learn-ing to get around on the water can beexciting, but it can also be intimidat-ing to take over the reins of a boat forthe first time.

Though beginners might be appre-hensive when they first start to boator sail, there are some tips that canmake it a little easier for those new tocaptaining their own ship.

Start small. Much like teenagerslearning to drive are often more com-fortable learning behind the wheel ofa compact car, boating beginnersmight be more comfortable learningto sail on a small boat. Smaller boatsare easier to maneuver, making eventhe most nervous novice a little morecomfortable.

Choose calm waters in which to

practice. According to the UnitedStates Coast Guard, in 2010, therewere more than 4,600 recreationalboating accidents that involved 672deaths. Beginners should alwayspractice in calm waters that don’tboast big waves or lots of fellowboaters. This gives beginners thechance to learn the feel of the boatwithout the added pressure of han-dling choppy waters or traffic.

Read the weather reports. Veteranboaters struggle with inclementweather from time to time, so begin-ners should expect to struggle withadverse conditions, as well. But don’tbe caught off guard by bad weather.Always check the weather reportsbefore going out, and be sure to bringalong appropriate attire and gear.

Don’t go it alone. Boating and sail-ing come with their own terminology,

which beginners are typically unfa-miliar with. Before heading out onthe water, learn as much of this ter-minology as possible – be it by study-ing manuals or books or even askingexperienced friends for help.

Respect other boaters. Boating is ahobby enjoyed by millions, and

boaters should always respect thatthere are other people on the water,as well. Whether you’re out in themiddle of the ocean or relaxing at thepier on your docked boat, respect theother boaters by keeping the musicdown and always discarding of trashin a responsible way.

My genealogy research hassuffered lately due to theholidays and life in general.

I finally made an appointment tohave some long-needed outpatientsurgery. The day came, and of course,genealogy was the last thing on mymind. As I lay on the surgery table, Iwas patted and reassured by the nursesthat everything would be fine. I wouldonly be asleep for a few minutes, andwhen I woke up, everything would beover. Then the nurse slipped the needleinto my arm, (almost painlessly).

A few minutes later, I was instantlyawake.

There were two nurses standingabove my head, just out of sight,having a conversation. It concernedthe sister of one grandmother beingrelated to someone else in the family,and they were wondering whatrelationship that made these people toeach other.

I was right there with them. I remem-ber saying “Oh, are you talking aboutgenealogy?” I’m sure they must havebeen pretty surprised, and maybeannoyed, to have the patient join in ontheir private conversation. Theyanswered back and agreed that, yes,they were discussing genealogy. I toldthem I was a genealogist and if I hadmy computer with me, I could givethem their answer immediately. Of alltimes not to have my computer withme, just when I needed it! Why didn’t Ithink to take it to the surgery room??Genealogy Lesson No. 1: Always haveyour data close at hand.

A few minutes later, as a nice nursewas slipping the needle out of my arm,

I asked her who was asking the geneal-ogy question.

“Oh that was the surgery nurses,” shesaid, “You are now in recovery.”

We agreed that I must have takenanother little nap after my conversa-tion. I remember telling her that theyhad my information, and if theyneeded my help, they knew where tofind me. I guess those drugs caused myego to inflate dramatically!

After leaving the facility, I began tothink about this with skepticism, andsuspect that it was a dream, but itseemed so real. I didn’t have anynames or faces to put with this inci-dent, and I didn’t want to make anybigger fool of myself by going back andasking everyone if it really happened.So how was I ever going to know if itwas real or a dream?

On my next visit, I asked how long Ihad been asleep. Then I asked if it was

possible to wake up in the surgeryroom. “Why?” said the doctor. “Did youwant to?”

I explained that I thought that maybeI had, but wasn’t sure if it was real or adream.

The nurse chimed in at this point.“Yes, you woke up and joined right inon the conversation!”

I was both embarrassed to haveintruded on someone’s conversation,and elated that the mere subject ofgenealogy could actually bring meback to consciousness.

So with this thought in mind, to myfamily and friends, if I ever becomeunconscious, slip into a coma, or sufferfrom dementia (which runs in myfamily), just start talking to me aboutgenealogy. I will instantly regainconsciousness or sanity for at least afew minutes, and you can ask what youneed to know before I leave you again.

Let’s talk divots.So many of mystudents think that if they take adivot, it means that they’ve hit a

good golf shot. That’s not necessarilytrue, it depends on where that divot isin relation to the ball.

There are two critical things that youmust do to take a ‘correct divot’, onethat is in front of the ball, and these twomovements can be rehearsed, prac-ticed, and learned.

A proper weight shift is critical. Agood divot starts either at the ball oreven a little on the target side of theball. In fact, LPGA and PGA Tourplayers start their divots anywherefrom 2 to 4 inches in front of the ball.They seldom hit the ball ‘fat’ wherethe club strikes the ground before itstrikes the ball.

This is how they do it: As they nearthe top of the backswing, their left

hip starts to move toward the target.This slight lateral movement shiftstheir weight early in the swing fromthe right foot to the left foot so that atimpact, their left foot has 75 percentof their weight on that foot. Thisweight shift keeps the grip end of theclub ahead of the club head resultingin a solid ball-first contact.

A ‘sitting’ of the knees and hips – Myfirst instructor, Jack Mackie Jr., told meyears ago how all great players ‘sit’through the impact area. Their kneesflex more through impact then theiroriginal knee flex in the setup position.So, as their weight shifts to the left footbefore impact, their knees and hips are

lowering slightly, so that not only is theball struck before the club hits theground, but the club is lowered thustaking the divot on the target side ofthe ball.

Want to try it for yourself? Here’s howto rehearse, practice, and learn in twosteps.

1. Step 1 — Get into your addressposition to an imaginary ball with alawn chair 2 inches from your left hip.Swing to the top of the backswing andfeel that 70 to 85 percent of your weighthas naturally shifted to your right foot.Then slowly move your left hip laterallyinto the chair as the hips naturallyturn. Get to the impact position andfeel that most of your weight is on theoutside of your left foot and your rightheel is slightly off the ground. If you dothis in front of a mirror, it should look

like Photo No. 1. Do this enough timesso that it feels natural before trying itwith range balls.

2. Step 2 — Either with a bag stand onthe range or with a carton of milk inyour snowed in living room, get yourtrusty 7 iron right up against theobject. Now, move your left hip towardyour target and feel the weight movemore to your left foot as your knees flexmore than they were at setup; your leftwrist remaining ‘flat’, and your rightheel coming off the ground. This iswhat all good teachers teach in the golfswing, a correct impact position.

By rehearsing these two critical

moves your ball striking will drastically

improve through more solid contact of

club to ball. Oh, and your friends will

be impressed with your divots!

ORMOND BEACH — The BeachBucket thinks of itself as “thelocals’ secret little piece of para-dise.”

So do its customers, who won’tbe happy that we’re divulging oneof the beachside’s best kept secrets.

But Managing Partner EdeeDalke is ready for the secret tocome out. Everyone should beable to enjoy the restaurant, itsattentive service, its wonderfulfood for breakfast, lunch and din-ner, and its scenic oceanfront loca-tion. It’s all just too good not toshare.

You can “kick back, relax andenjoy watching or listening to theocean’s waves and watch surferswhile eating breakfast, lunch or

dinner” states its website, andthere’s no argument there.

Ms. Dalke said the spectacularswells at the Harvard Beachapproach attract surfers and spec-tators who enjoy watching them.

She’s starting a T-shirt line, SurfHarvard, and has added fire pits forambiance.

Customers share the fire pits, shesaid, and soon they are havinginteresting discussions with peo-ple they just met.

The Blue Crab Benedict is one oftheir best breakfast sellers and mydining companions agreed aftershe insisted they try it (I’m allergicto crab).

I thoroughly enjoyed my eggs

over easy cooked just right with

crisp bacon and sausage, while

another in our group had a won-

derful Country Club Omelet, with

turkey, bacon and tomato, substi-

tuting Swiss for the American

cheese.

Ms. Dalke, who spent a year

crewing on sailboats before being

hired at the Beach Bucket a year

ago by owner Scott Studner, has

run in four marathons and 10 half

marathons. She also spent 26 years

in advertising sales.

While on the sailboat, she wrote a

blog, “Changing Courses,” and is

writing a book about her travels.

“I had an amazing adventure,”

she said.

After graduating from Kansas

State University in journalism, Ms.

Dalke said she had two require-

ments, live near an ocean and work

in the media.

“One of my favorite things about

working here is the awesome staff,”

said the former Kansas truck stop

waitress.

She’s got new promotions, such

as BFF Night from 5:30 to 8:30

Wednesdays, which she bills as “a

time to hang with your girlfriends,”

not a ladies night.

There are $3 martini specials and

$10 bottles of wine, as it is “whine

wine Wednesdays,” she said.

Upcoming is a Gnarley Charley

surf contest in June, and a bike

parade in October, yep with deco-

rated bicycles. Last year, she said,

50 bikes and riders in costumes

participated.

As a runner, Ms. Dalke is aware of

good nutrition.

The Beach Bucket’s chef, Peter

Vrochopoulos, has a special menu

for the Ormond Beach Mayor’s

Health and Fitness Challenge that’s

underway through April 6. The

dishes were created by the cooks in

a contest.

On April 7, the second annual

Beach Bucket Kiwanis’ Fun Run

starts at noon at the restaurant.

The special dishes include

shrimp and grits, made with low-

fat milk, drizzled with Cheddar

cheese sauce and topped with

plump shrimp. I can attest to its

great flavors, even with only 190

calories.

Ms. Dalke said their customers

like the laid-back atmosphere and

good food.

Just ask Merv Burch, a surfer

who’s been coming from

Gainesville to his house in Ormond

Beach and enjoying the Beach

Bucket. As he ordered fish tacos, he

said he recently took a job with

Caton-Hosey Insurance in Port

Orange so he can be closer to the

beach.

The Beach Bucket, 867 S. Atlantic

Ave., Ormond Beach, is open 7 a.m.

to 9 p.m. seven days a week. It’s

behind Ocean East Resort and Rip

Tides Restaurant at the Harvard

Street Beach Approach. Informa-

Traveling with HerbsHERB CORNERAs an herbalist I never travel

without my herbal first-aidkit, which is fortunate

because it has come in handy onmany occasions. My kit is a makeupcase but it can be a plastic box, tacklebox, sewing box, or an old purse. Theherbs I carry have addressed manyissues such as colds, blisters, nausea,diarrhea, sunburn, sea-sickness andmuscle aches. The more I travel themore issues I come up with. Themost important thing to remember isto clearly label all that you arecarrying with the herb name, usesand dosage. You’d be surprised whatyou forget in an emergency.

My kit contains the followingherbs along with band-aids, gauze,scissors, tape and tweezers. Withthese you too can be prepared for

many conditions encountered onyour travels.

Echinacea extract helps bothinternal and external infectionsincluding wounds a cold or the flu.I’ve used it on venomous bug bitesand as a gargle for a sore throat.Homeopathic Arnica and Arnicasalve help reduce inflammation andpain. When used immediately theycan help prevent bruising. I carry asmall amount of homeopathic Arnicawith me in my purse; it helped when Iwas in a car accident to preventbruising. It works by influencing lev-els of NF kappa-B a central mediator

of inflammation. Dried Ginger comesin handy for sea sickness, motionsickness and nausea when made intoa tea. In a tea as a nasal wash I haveused it to relieve sinus congestionand when added to a bath it helped asevere cold and body aches. Pow-dered Yarrow applied topically onwounds disinfects and stops thebleeding. This is probably why sol-diers carried Yarrow with them sincemedieval times. Burn Salve madewith Calendula, Plantain, Comfreyand St. Johns Wort. This blend helpssunburns, cuts, bruises, splinters,blisters, dry skin, chapped lips andnose bleeds. Elderberry extract forcough and respiratory infections, itcontains compounds that prevent fluviruses from invading and infectingcells.

I also carry the essential oils of

Peppermint, Tea Tree and Lavender.Peppermint is used to relieve soremuscles and headaches. It works bydepleting substance P (a neurotrans-mitter that registers pain). I dilutePeppermint with jojoba oil because itcan be irritating to skin. I have alsoused it on long road trips to keep mealert. Tea Tree works as an antisepticfor the mouth, cuts and bug bitesplus it keeps bugs form biting you. 2-3 drops of Lavender can be putdirectly on a burn to relieve pain or torelive the itch of a bug bite. 20 dropsadded to 2oz. cool water can bedabbed or sprayed on to sunburn. Itcan be applied to your temples torelieve headaches and for insomnia.

I have had plenty of opportunitiesto use my first aid kit, having it withme gives me peace of mind while I’mon the road.
