Hawaiian Cruise
Hawaiian Cruises are everyone’s dream cruise to the Hawaiian Islands on an exquisite ocean
liner. Being pampered from dawn to dusk with exemplary cuisine, entertainment and fun for
all that too for a moderate sum on a Hawaiian Cruise is definitely something out of the
world.
Start Spreadin' The News About the Dylan Hotel NYC
In the heart of New York City is Times Square; an overrated, over expensive, gravitron of tourists, souvenirs and advertisements that explode into a world of neon when the sun goes down. It’s where everyone wants to be, which is why I’ve arranged to stay at one of the classiest hotels in the area — the Dylan.
Formerly the Chemists Club built in 1903; the building was completely designed and restored by Jeffrey Beers. It projects a very metropolitan feel while maintaining a modern and professional tone. Most of the furniture is angular, everything is symmetrical, and the lighting gives off an almost surreal Metropolis feel.
The rooms are elegant and urban with a ceiling that is high enough for me to jump on
the bed without hitting my head. (I’m 6’5 by the way.) Soft, white cotton blankets and
sheets bless the humongous king-sized beds and goose down pillows beckon even the most
energized traveler to take a power nap...
Grant Park: Chicago's Front Yard
Nor is it out of character that Chicago's grandest achievement- a largely manmade arc of lakefront parks and beaches - began as a mistake, from waste thrown into Lake Michigan - a 75-year-old dump." - - - Pat Colander
As a Chicagoan (not by birth, but by choice), I choose to take the above quote as a sign of a characteristic to make the best out of a bad situation. (Consider the beloved Cubs: hey, if they don't win, at least we'll make a party out of it.)
Grant Park, Chicago's "front yard", owes its current glory to two very different
reasons. The first is the fact that it was a landfill. After the Chicago Fire of 1871,
ashes and rubble were pushed into the park and expanded its boundaries into Lake
Michigan. In the years after its dedication as a public space Grant Park...
Step Back to the Old West at Durango's Strater
There is only one place to stay in Durango, the town's grandest living icon — the Stater.
Just keep in mind that you may never be satisfied with any other hotel after staying here. The Strater has been hailed down the ages as Durango's "home away from home". I am willing to give up my home and live here . . .!
I arrived tired and travel weary. I strode into the Strater with mixed expectations; this hotel is renowned by the locals as not only a historical landmark, but as part of the life of this "Old West" town.
The Strater, in fact, has bridged the past into the present, bringing the grand quality of 100 years ago forward and merging it with modern technology and conveniences, all accomplished without any compromise in quality...

The cosmopolitan essence and romanticism of Paris surround Roland Garros Paris
The important tennis tournament Roland Garrós, which is being played on clay, will attract the elite tennis players from all over the world to Paris from the 23rd of May until the 5th of June. The event, besides having an own media coverage of the large events, will not only capture the attention of sport enthusiasts, but also of foreigners and locals wanting to enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere and romantic characteristics of the city of the Seine.
The origin of this competition goes back to 1927, when the French team, known as “the
Four Musketeers”, beat the American team during Cup Davis. Thanks to the triumph of
its four members (Jacques Brugnont, Jean Borotra, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste),
France was chosen the headquarter of the revenge, which made it necessary to build a
stadium with the quality required by the most important worldwide competition
regarding team play, in less than one year...
Travelers with Disabilities: The Untapped Market
When most people think about accommodating people with disabilities in their business they get a scared feeling in their gut and their mind scrambles to search for that all-important date when the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) went into effect. It doesn’t have to be that way! When business owners open their eyes and start to realize that there are literally billions of dollars to be made in the accessible travel market, I believe we will start to remove the fear associated with the ADA.
There are currently more than 50 million people with disabilities in the United States
and 180 million worldwide, representing the single largest untapped tourist market in
the world. According to a recent Harris Poll conducted in conjunction with the Open
Doors Organization and the Travel Industry Association of America, the 50 million
people with disabilities in our country have a combined income of more than $175
billion...
South African Sardine Run: Big Animals in Congregation
The sardine run along the east coast of South Africa is a spectacular and well-known phenomenon, but the seeds of our understanding are only now beginning to emerge.
We now know that this is one of the largest marine events on the planet, involving many species of fish, sharks, marine mammals and birds. Fishermen have been making the most of this annual winter event for decades and gradually, the media and tourism potential of this occurrence is being developed.
More recently international film crews have converged on the Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN) and Eastern cape coastline to capture images for worldwide broadcast, and specialist operators have created excursions to allow the more adventurous to witness this exciting coastal exhibition of frenzied marine interaction.
The sardine run is much more than the simply numerous glistening shoals of sardines
moving up the coast, for which the local tourism industry has coined the phrase “the
Greatest Shoal on Earth”. It is a dynamic and complex event that involves and affects
many marine animals...
Home Travel Agent: Will I Be Able To Live On My Home-Based Travel Agent Salary
Does travel to places like Fiji, Rome, Italy, Hong Kong, Bora Bora, Paris, London, and Australia sound like something you want to do? Would you like to stroll on secluded beaches, dine in quaint little restaurants, or wander around in ancient castles? If so, becoming a travel agent may be a good choice for you.
But can you really make decent money being a travel agent? Is there a future in it?
According to the United States Department of Labor, "Industry consolidation and increasing use of the Internet to book travel will result in a decline in the employment of travel agents. The Internet increasingly allows people to access travel information from their personal computers, enabling them to research and plan their own trips, make their own reservations and travel arrangements, and purchase their own tickets."
So as the need for travel agents declines, so too will their salaries. And salaries of
travel agents are already low. The United States Department of Labor, says that the
"Median annual earnings of travel agents were $26,630 in 2002. The middle 50 percent
earned between $20,800 and $33,580. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $16,530,
while the top 10 percent earned more than $41,660."...
Cabo Sport Fishing is Like a Box of Chocolates
As Forrest Gump would say, you never know what you’re going to get.
Not too many things get me more excited than the prospect of hooking and landing big fish. The mere thought of setting the hook on a 300 pound marlin, hearing the scream of the drag as the fish pulls off line and watching the acrobatic leaps that follow really gets my heart pumping. Fortunately for me, a two and a half hour flight and a 30-minute drive is all it takes to find myself in the “billfish capital of the world”. What more can a sport fisherman ask for?
Well, for starters, variety. Just like biting into a randomly selected piece of
chocolate, when you set out the trolling lures here in Los Cabos in search of the next
big one, you just don’t know what it will be. Different seasons bring different
possibilities as does different sides of the Baja peninsula. The diversity of game
fish here never ceases to amaze me and even a slow day on the water offers the
opportunity to see some of the oceans greatest creatures. Whales, porpoise, sea
turtles and bat rays that often school by the hundreds and perform what almost appears
to be a choreographed routine of synchronized jumps. On a spring trip to Cabo ...
