In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Chartering a yacht is not cheap. Just a week on a small vessel (around 60 feet (18 m) long) can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Some yachts may cost more than $100,000 a week.  The base fee or Charter Hire pays for the boat and the crew. In addition to the Charter Hire, you will have to pay an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), which covers food, drink, fuel, dockage, and customs duties. This usually costs 20% of the Charter Hire. Include money to tip the crew in your budget. Tipping is considered standard within the industry. These tips run between 10-20% of the charter fee.  If this is too expensive for you, you might consider chartering a sailboat or renting a fishing boat. You can still hire a boat charter broker to help you search for the right vessel in this case. The first thing you should do is decide where you want to take the yacht. Where you go can help you determine where to begin the journey. It can also help you find boats and crews that travel to those areas.  For example, you might take the boat around the Caribbean. If you do this, you can start your journey in Florida or on a Caribbean island. The Mediterranean is another popular place to go on yacht charters. For this, you can begin your journey in Greece, Italy, or Croatia. Determine the best time of year to visit your destination. Make sure that the weather will be good for sailing during this time. If it is a busy tourist season in your destination, remember that it may cost more to dock your boat. Yachts are chartered and priced by the week. You may not be able to charter a yacht for less than a week. Most yachts begin around 50–65 feet (15–20 m) and go up all the way to 120 feet (37 m) or larger. Larger boats can fit more people and provide more amenities. They are, however, significantly more expensive.  If you’re traveling alone or with a partner, you may only need a 65 feet (20 m) vessel. If you have children on board, consider chartering a larger boat. These boats will provide more space for children to run and play while providing a little extra protection. If you don't want a big boat, consider chartering a catamaran, sailboat, or houseboat instead of a yacht. Most yachts will have a chef on board and a crew to pilot the ship. In addition, you may be able to choose from a wide range of activities and amenities. These include:   Hot tub Multiple bedrooms or bathrooms Water toys like jet skis, water skis, small recreational boats, or scuba diving instruction Entertainment centers like TVs, game consoles, or DVD players
Summary: Create a budget for your trip. Determine your destination. Decide when you want to travel. Choose the right size of yacht for your needs. Choose which amenities you want.

This is the granddaddy of whiskey cocktails. Depending on your tastes, you can use a variety of whiskeys for the drink, from sweeter bourbons (the traditional choice) to more subtle and spicy rye whiskeys. To make an Old Fashioned:  Muddle a sugar cube and 3 dashes of bitters in the bottom of a rocks glass. Pour in 1 shot of whiskey and some ice, then stir until the ice begins to melt. Add another shot of whiskey. Garnish the drink with a cherry or an orange twist. This classic Kentucky cocktail is made with sweet bourbon. The better the bourbon, the better the drink. You should always use fresh mint and muddle the mint (lightly smash it with the sugar cube) at the bottom of the glass before adding the bourbon. Mix 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of bourbon with a sugar cube and a handful of crushed ice along with the muddled mint. For a deliciously frosty glass, use a tall glass or silver beaker that is pre-chilled. Use a napkin or doily so that you don’t ruin the frost by touching it with your bare hands. Manhattans are a little bitter for some people, but others swear by the sweet/bitter combo. Like the Old Fashioned, you can adjust the whiskey you use for a better cocktail -- rye for something stronger, bourbon for something sweeter. To make a Manhattan, pour the following into a mixer with ice, then pour the liquid into a glass:  2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of whiskey 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of sweet vermouth 1 to 2 dashes of bitters, such as Angostura A small length of orange peel This type of cocktail made with Scotch and orange bitters instead of rye and aromatic bitters is called a Rob Roy. This simple, easy drink doesn't call for much, but adds a nice sour punch to your drink that goes down easily. To make one, simply shake the following together in a mixer with plenty of ice:  2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of whiskey 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of fresh-squeezed lemon juice or a packet of sours 1 teaspoon (about 4 grams) of sugar A Boston Sour adds in 1 egg white as well for a frothy, more substantial drink. A Hot Toddy is a warm drink brewed with whiskey and spices. This is a wonderfully comforting drink on a cold, rainy day. Typically, it is made with Irish whiskey. To make a Hot Toddy, pour your whiskey into a glass, then heat up the following ingredients and pour them over the whiskey once the mixture is simmering:  2 fluid ounces (59 ml) of water 3 cloves 1 cinnamon stick 0.5 in (1.3 cm) piece of ginger, peeled and sliced (optional) 1 strip of lemon peel 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of whiskey 2 teaspoons (9.9 mL) of honey (adjustable to your sweetness preferences) 1 or 2 teaspoons (4.9 or 9.9 mL) of lemon juice A dash of nutmeg

Problem: Article: Visit your local craft supply store or search online to find elastic that comes in different colors and designs. Purchase elastic that is about 2 in (5.1 cm) wide. You will only need enough to wrap around your thigh with 0.5 in (1.3 cm) of overlap, so measure before you go to determine how much you will need. Lay out the strip of elastic with the decorative side facing up. Then, choose an embellishment to add. Dispense a dot of hot glue onto the back of the embellishment and then press it onto the garter where you want it to go.  Add a silk rose to the center of the garter for an elegant touch. Create a row of rhinestones along 1 or both edges of the garter for sparkly finish. Glue on buttons in random spots for a fun, crafty garter.
Summary:
Choose a wide piece of decorative elastic. Glue on rhinestones, silk flowers, or other embellishments.
