5 Things to Do in Los Angeles – For Tourists

So you’re finally making the trip (or the flight) to Los Angeles,California to visit the city the entire world has heard of. You’ll definitely enjoy the weather,the people and the history,and while you’re at it,you’ll probably find a respectable souvenir or two to show off to your friends.

Here’s a list of some of the big stops you almost need to hit if you’re visiting from anywhere further than 100 miles away. 

1. Visit Hollywood 

It was called Tinseltown for a reason– the piece de resistance in this movie buff’s paradise is Hollywood and Highland,the famous intersection where nearly every thing is designed to glamor visitors. From a towering complex of designer stores to a crowd of costumed street performers,to a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex poking its head through the roof of the Ripley’s Believe-It-Or-Not museum,this area can provide a busy afternoon. Especially if you venture further south and west to check out the area’s vintage stores (like Wasteland),cult restaurants (Pink’s Hot Dogs) and historical attractions (the La Brea Tar Pits). The various shops and tourist attractions along Hollywood Blvd contribute to the fun,as do the holiday decorations of you are available in December.

2. Go to Universal Studios 

Not far from Hollywood,this hive of fun tourist activity (100 Universal City Plaza,Universal City) combines theme park rides and a carnival atmosphere with a movie-studio feel that almost puts you inside your favorite flicks. On the famous Backlot Tour,you can take the Jaws ride to see “Bruce” (the shark’s nickname) charge out of the water at you,see the New York set where Manhattan-based movie scenes are filmed,and see how a heavy rain storm is created. Or you can go on rides designed after your favorite movies,where you could be taken up and swept together with the plot,then probably dropped from a staggering height. Only a 9.5 mile ride from Los Angeles

3. Hit the Beach 

Santa Monica State Beach offers a nice,tourist-friendly getaway,though it can get crowded and hectic on weekends. The bright side is it’s right next to the Santa Monica Pier,a well-trafficked theme park area where you will find an abundance of food,entertainment and more costumed performers. This beach could be found along Ocean Avenue at Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica. For a more relaxing beach hangout,Manhattan Beach is about 30 minutes south,where a paved walkway makes it good for sightseeing. Or you can set about 40 minutes north to get to El Matador Beach near Malibu for a more secluded,scenic beach.

4. Go to a Dodger game 

Catching a baseball game is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon,and the local team exists to entertain visitors and rabid fans alike. Baseball fans can find Dodger Stadium at 1000 Elysian Park Ave Los Angeles,and the area’s public transport is an easy way to get there without spending for parking. Ticket prices range from $9 for upper-deck seats to around $70 for most other seats,for full-priced adults. More ticketing information could be found on the Dodgers Web site (Dodgers.com). Just beware,because Dodgers fans are fiercely passionate about their team,and they also like to drink huge cups of beer.

5. Go to Disneyland 

It’s what every major athlete does after scoring a touchdown or hitting a home run. Disneyland (1313 S Harbor Blvd,Anaheim) isn’t only for kids (even though it tends to send them into ecstatic spasms),as the park offers the biggest,brightest and most complete theme park experience you’ll find beyond a dream. The rides last longer,the park-wandering characters are happier,and even the customer care folk are more helpful than any other park,despite the crowds. Explore the park’s many themed “lands,” see the light parade and jump onto the newest rides,along with the nostalgic classics like Pinocchio and Small World. Obviously,Pirates of the Caribbean continues to amaze – look out for Captain Jack Sparrow sightings,which can seem surreally lifelike.

Telemedicine Services and Telehealth Companies are on the Rise

Telemedicine has been a growing trend among healthcare professionals. It allows doctors and nurses to reach more patients at one time and to provide better patient care in the process. Telemedicine is now being offered by a number of healthcare institutions. The United Kingdom offers a number of these telemedicine providers,including Telecare.

Telehealth services are becoming a very popular option in the UK. These providers allow healthcare professionals to offer remote consultations,which is a time-sensitive diagnosis and treatment that deliver superior patient care.

There are several telehealth companies offering a variety of services,including telemedicine and private care. These organizations help the healthcare industry expand.

Telehealth services include remote consultations. This type of consultation takes place when there is an available staff member who is not physically present at the location where the procedure is to take place. This arrangement can be made through conference calls or through traditional telephones.

In remote consultations,care providers can make appointments for people in any part of the world that they choose. They can provide time-sensitive procedures,depending on their staff availability.

Remote consultations also include telephonic consultations. A care provider and his or her patient can schedule time for a phone call. The conversation is recorded and can be used for transcription purposes later on.

The Telecare UK organization offers several services,including remote consultations. These services allow any healthcare professional to attend consultations anywhere in the world. Telehealth providers in the United Kingdom have access to doctors in different parts of the world.

Telecare has already been involved in the medical world for more than thirty years. They have developed a reputation as a leader in remote consultations,telemedicine and patient care.

These companies rely on a computer network to ensure that their clients can utilize their services worldwide. They do this through their applications and communications.

With an Internet connection,it is easy to see why the majority of hospitals across the country use this telephone service. Telemedicine is a powerful tool that allows patients to receive diagnoses and treatments from doctors that are located in all parts of the world.

Telehealth companies,like Telecare,offer a variety of telemedicine options. These include traditional consultations,telephonic consultations and remote consultations. Each option makes use of this telephone network to provide the most efficient ways of providing care.

Patient care is a very important part of any healthcare professional’s job. Telemedicine helps keep patients’ care affordable and allows health care professionals to reach more patients at one time.

Here are some things to accomplish if you are spending on 1 day in Boston

A single day affords the chance to sample some encounters unique to Boston. You won’t have time for full engagement,but you can discuss several singular attractions and destinations. Your focus will be the downtown area,home to the city’s oldest and most historic communities.

Start: Boston Common (Red or Green Line to Park St.),15 State St. (Orange or Blue Line to State),or Faneuil Hall (Green or Blue Line to Government Center).

One Singular Sensation: On a 1-day visit,think about focusing on just one or two things you’re most excited about,plus a good meal or 2. If what really gets you going is the Museum of Fine Arts,the Museum of Science,Newbury Street’s art galleries and boutiques,or even an outing,you have a good reason for refraining from doing more– and for a return trip to Boston!

1. The Freedom Trail

Boston’s signature attraction is a 2.5-mile line of red paint or brick set out at the suggestion of a local journalist in 1958. Following the entire Freedom Trail can consume the better part of a day,but several options that focus on the downtown part of the walk take 2 hours approximately. Your goal is to cover– at whatever pace suits you,as carefully or as casually as you like– the first two-thirds of the trail,from Boston Common through Faneuil Hall. Start at the Boston Common Visitor Info Center with a pamphlet describing the self-guided tour or with the audio tour available from the Freedom Trail Foundation. If you prefer a guided tour,check the schedule of tours with National Park Service rangers,Boston By Foot,and the Freedom Trail Foundation.

2. Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Faneuil Hall Marketplace provides a host of shopping options,a lot of which are outlets of national chains. You can give your wallet a workout before,after,or even (this can be our little secret) during your sightseeing.

3. Quincy Market

The main level of Faneuil Hall Marketplace’s central building,Quincy Market,is a gigantic food-court. You can eat at the marketplace,but I suggest crossing Atlantic Avenue and enjoying your snack or lunch with a glorious view. Stake out a seat overlooking the marina beside Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. If you ‘d rather eat indoors,head across the street to Union Oyster House

4. Paul Revere House.

Our favorite Freedom Trail stop is a little 17th-century home overlooking a stunning cobblestone square.

5. The North End

The Freedom Trail continues here with another famous Paul Revere hangout,the interesting Old North Church. But there’s more to this historic neighborhood than just history. The city’s “Little Italy” (locals don’t refer to it as that) is a great place for wandering around.

6. Hanover Street

Coffee outlets throughout the city valiantly attempt to serve excellent espresso and cappuccino; the shops here always succeed– and if they don’t,they don’t remain in business long. Pair your caffeine with a fresh-baked pastry,settle in at a bakery or caffè,and take in the scene on the North End’s main drag. Top choices: Caffè Vittoria,Mike’s Pastry,and Caffè dello Sport.

7. The Waterfront

Now downtown Boston’s small size settles: In almost any direction,the gorgeous harbor is a short stroll from the North End. As the day unwind,you can take a sightseeing cruise from Long Wharf or Rowes Wharf– though a ferry ride from Long Wharf to Charlestown and back may be much better for your schedule and budget. If cruises aren’t for you or run out season,explore the New England Aquarium or the Boston Children’s Museum. If those don’t attract you,head for the nearby Seaport District (also known as the South Boston Waterfront) and visit the Institute of Contemporary Art. It’s a 20- to 30-minute walk or 10-minute cab ride.
Or– it’s not the Waterfront,but bear with us– abandon the sightseeing after the Paul Revere House and go shopping in the Back Bay,starting with a stroll along Newbury Street.
