Looking to book cheap flights to ghana during Homowa
Ghana has emerged and evolved on the map of the world as a prominent and largely visited African Country during the past decade. Like any other country in Africa, Ghana is also known for its rich tradition, prominent culture and colorful festivals. “Homowa Festival” is one such festival that attracts the attentions of tourists and media around the world.
The unique and most impressive thing about Ghanaian’s or any African nation is that the people are so strong, so bold, so confident and so strong willed that nothing could ever stand in their way. If you go through pages of history and have a look at the wounded endeavors, from Hunger, famine to salvation, there has been a series of hardships that the people of Africa have stood before and raised above. Keeping in mind this history , “Homowo Festival” is trail and secret of the strength still visible in all young and old alike. As the name of this festival indicates “hooting on hunger”.
The word Homowo is derived from two different words “Homo” meaning “Hunger” and “wo” meaning “sleep”. The word “Homowo” means to hoot and jeer at hunger. It tells the story of the people who were not scared of the deadliest of natural disasters and fieriest of enemies. The tradition of Homowo started with a period of hunger leading to famine due to failure of the seasonal rains needed by crops in the Greater Accra Region, where the Ghana people predominately dwell. When the rains returned to normal, the Ghanaians celebrated by creating the Homowo festival hence it name and meanings are the traces of the event that gave birth to this colorful festival.
This colorful festival is celebrated every year with full enthusiasm and spreads a sheer cheerfulness through out the country. By celebrating this event Ghanian people keep alive their traditions and values of true people of early Ghana. The young and old are entwined with the rich drumming and dance traditions that were once a part of every day of life. The festival is characterized by rituals such as the sprinkling of “Kpokpoi” (the festival dish) to the gods and ancestors for spiritual protection, procession of twins through the principal streets, traditional drumming and dancing and general merry-making. A month before the celebration, there is a ban of noise making. A climax of the festival is that from 12 noon to 6:00pm any woman, no matter the status, should accept a hug from a man on the festival street. And this makes it a very interesting, open hearted and joyful event.
The festival starts every year with the month of May with the planting of crops just before the rainy season starts. The musicians and dancers of Homowo are living examples of the strength of African performing arts. The repertoire, featuring the yesterday, today and tomorrow of Ghanaian cultural arts, creates an acoustic and visual history of Ghana and brings the spirit alive in every Ghaian. If you are planning to visit Ghana during Homowa Festival, many European and African airlines offer cheap flights to Ghana at a very low rate.

Car Rental ? Why You Should Book Before You Go
Car Rental ? Why You Should Book Before You Go
A few days ago, I came across an online discussion about whether you should prepay your car rental before you travel or wait until you get to your destination. I found a comment that I just had to respond to, but since the conversation ended back in 2006, I decided to reply via this blog instead.
So what exactly was said to make me feel this way, I hear you ask? Brace yourselves!
“Under no circumstances should you prepay (if you make a change or cancel it will be a real hassle and will probably cost you quite a bit of money)”
I gasped. Oh the misconceptions and myths out there!
So I’m setting the record straight. Here’s why you should prepay your car rental before you go.
No Cancellation or Amendment Fees
Firstly, if you cancel it will not cost you hassle or money! At DriveAway Holidays, we do not charge amendment or cancellation fees. Very occasionally, suppliers will charge fees (and we will pass it on to the consumer) but generally this only happens if you cancel within a 72 hour period and applies to selected suppliers in selected destinations only.
Purchasing Power
With 20 years experience in the car rental industry, DriveAway Holidays’ relationship with reputable suppliers means we can offer you lower prices on car rental overseas than if you were to walk in off the street. Plus, we have a Price Beat Guarantee, so if you happen to find a cheaper rate, we’ll beat it!^
No Foreign Exchange Worries
Prepaying your car rental in Australian dollars before you go means that you don’t have to worry about exchange rate fluctuations. If you book your car hire when you arrive at a destination, changes in the exchange rate may mean you pay more than you would have at home in Australia.
Availability
By booking your car rental in advance, you can get the vehicle size you want. Whilst car rental suppliers do not guarantee a specific model, you will get the car class you reserved. If you wait until you are at the airport in a foreign country, especially in peak season, availability may be limited and so prices will be driven up. Avoid disappointment and save money by booking early!
Peace of Mind
Booking your car rental in Australia before you travel means there are no language barriers to consider and it is easy and convenient. You have time to consider your options and read the small print as opposed to being “up sold” to on the spot at a car rental counter in a foreign country. Plus, DriveAway Holidays has a 24/7 Toll Free Customer Service line, accessible from around the world, so if you do run into problems, there is someone here to help.
Added Value
We can offer added value to your trip on top of your car rental. We offer GPS rental, for instance, which is an invaluable travel accessory, as well as sightseeing packages and accommodation. Also, at certain times of the year there will be various special offers in different areas so you can pick up a bargain! Earlybird season (which is fast approaching in November) is a great time to book your car rental for next year, with lots of special offers and free upgrades when you book early. Watch this space for more information!

Question by mrs_squier81906: Why do car rental companies charge a surcharge for drivers under 25?
My husband and I need to drive from Delaware to Alabama this spring. He’s 24 and has a class C CDL. We were just checking out car rental rates and all companies will charge us a $ 25 per day surcharge just to rent a compact car! This is absolutely ridiculous! Its going to double the cost of renting the car. Is there any way to get around these things?
Best answer:
Answer by Big Bobby Clobber
Under 25s have a much higher accident and damage rate. This is why there is a surcharge.
There may be some small local company that will waive the charge, so you’d best look around.

Book an Airport Hotel & Relax in Stress-free Comfort Before You Fly
Book an Airport Hotel & Relax in Stress-free Comfort Before You Fly
You save for it all year, so going on holiday should be as stress free as possible and having to get up early & go through all the hassle of getting to the airport can be a real pain. It’s the same when you land back late at night and you can’t face the journey back home, especially if public transport isn’t even running! Cheaper flights are often at unsociable hours, or you may have been on a long flight, when it can be dangerous to then drive whilst tired. There is a solution! Book an airport hotel.
Using a hotel at the airport (especially if you have an early or late flight) can make a huge difference to your travelling experience. Don’t want to catch a transfer bus? Then order valet parking instead and someone will meet you at the airport and park your car for you – what could be easier? If you have an early start and you live a little distance from the airport why not extend your vacation and start it a night earlier in luxurious surroundings.
Airport hotels vary dramatically in size, style and price. There is everything from 5* luxury through to budget B&B’s, hotels with walkways straight into the terminal or those that have a shuttle bus transfer to reach check in. There are also hotels more geared to business travellers and those for leisure. Whether you are choosing a hotel for the first or last night of your holiday, you need to decide the following:
• Your budget for the stay
• Number of rooms and total people staying
• The standards you are used to when staying in hotels – budget, mid range or top end! Unless you use all the facilities of the hotel you choose, then it’s not worth paying out for something you don’t actually need
• How far you want to be from the airport terminals
• Consider your check in time and the time taken to reach check in from your hotel
• Do you need car parking as well? Consider an airport hotel with parking, which often works out cheaper than parking alone
• Check whether each hotel offers a transfer service to the airport terminal. These may not be 24 hour and/or may charge a fee.
Benefits of pre-booking an airport hotel
• Save Money – you can save up to 60% on standard rates!
• Save Time – no need to trawl through hotel websites trying to find the best price – an online search will give you the full hotel details and locations so you can select the right hotel for your needs.
• Guarantee your room – at peak times, many hotels are sold out and will only have rooms available at full price. Book ahead and guarantee your room at the best price.
• Compare companies on line and secure the best price for your needs from the comfort of your own home or office.
• Rest and Relaxation – by not having to travel early or late you can rest and relax, making your overall journey more pleasurable. You can unwind with a meal, a drink or even use the leisure facilities that many hotels offer.
Airport Hotels are the best way to start your break if you have an early morning flight or late night return & there are a range of packages all designed to meet your needs; be it a business trip, a family holiday or just somewhere to rest your head.
Pre-book your stay and save money! You can also book an airport hotel WITH parking for a convenient, complete package which often costs less than parking alone!
To get your holiday off to a stress free, relaxing start, book a complete package that will provide you with a night’s stay in a comfortable and friendly hotel and will also give you the choice of on-site and secured parking, along with transfers to and from the airport! An airport hotel with parking is perhaps the most convenient and stress free way of embarking on your trip.
Airport Hotels WITH Parking
On site parking at the hotel provides the easiest and quickest route to the airport whereas parking your car at a secured car park will give you greater peace of mind. For a more luxurious start to your break, try a hotel with Meet and Greet parking. Have your car delivered back to you at the airport for a speedy getaway after your travels.
• Save Your Money – book early to make savings of up to 60% on the price of booking your airport hotel and parking separately!
• Save Your Time – forget motorway queues on the day of travel; forget trying to find a parking space or a hotel room when you arrive at the airport and even forget having to ring around for availability – an online search will give you full details long before you travel so you can select the right deal for your needs.
• Guarantee a hotel room and your own parking space – at busy times, most hotels and car parks are full – so plan ahead and ensure your room and space are reserved for you.
• Compare online – with ease you can check the best prices and deals online, from the comfort or your own home or workplace.
• Rest and Relaxation – by staying overnight you can avoid the stress of travelling to the airport in the early hours with small children. You can unwind with a meal or drink and use the facilities, such as the swimming pool or gym, safe in the knowledge that your car is parked securely while you are away. You’ll also get a good night’s sleep in the comfort of your hotel room before you set off on your holiday.
Late back from your holiday? Then stay at an airport hotel on your return and enjoy that last night of freedom before heading back to the real world.
