Venezia is its best-known city and one of the most popular tourer finishes on earth. But the Venezia-Euganea part is a batch more than this great city. There are first-class tourer attractive forces elsewhere, and you won't have got to struggle the immense crowds. With a small fortune you'll avoid tourer traps, and come up back place with the feeling that you have got truly visited Italy. This article analyzes tourer attractive forces in the Shakespearian town of Verona, a United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site. Be certain to read our comrade articles on northern Veneto, southern Veneto, and the university metropolis of Padua.</p><p>Verona. I don't cognize about you, but I can't hear this word without thought of the phrase, Two Gentlemen of Verona, a not particularly well-known Shakespeare play. Verona was the scene of a particularly well-known Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet. This metropolis of more than than a one-fourth million have a long and bloody history. Its occupants are proud that on an Easter Monday more than two hundred old age ago they drove out the Gallic occupiers. The German author Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe and the Gallic authors Marie Henri Beyle and Valéry included Verona in their traveling diaries. The Roman Emperor Julius Julius Caesar spent a batch of clip here, and probably enjoyed many of the sights described next.</p><p>Verona have quite a aggregation of traces from its Roman days. Let's start with its Roman amphitheatre, the 3rd biggest in Italy. This construction is approximately 400 feet (140 meters) long and 350 feet (110 meters) wide, giving it a seating capacity of about 25,000 witnesses in 44 grades of marble seats. While lone fragments of the outer walls remain, its inside is virtually intact. This building often hosts fairs, theatre, opera and other populace events, especially during the summer.</p><p>A First Century B.C. Roman theatre was eventually transformed into a lodging land land site but in the Eighteenth Century the houses were demolished and the site restored. Nearby you'll happen the Ponte di Pietra (Stone Bridge), a Roman arch span crossing the River Adige River, completed in 100 B.C. Retreating German military personnel destroyed four of the span arches in World War two but the span was rebuilt in 1957 using original materials.</p><p>You should also see the First Century Arco dei Gavi (Gavi Arch) straddling the Corso Cavour; once the chief route into the city. Look for the architect's signature, a rareness for the times. Gallic military personnel destroyed this arch in 1805, and it was rebuilt only in 1932.</p><p>Porta Borsari, an archway at the end of the Corso Orifice Borsari street, is the façade of a Third Century gate within the original Roman metropolis walls. This street is lined with respective Renaissance Palaces. Orifice Leoni (Leoni Gate) is what stays of a First Century B.C. Roman metropolis gate. Parts of it have got been incorporated into a wall of a medieval building. Even in those years some people believed in recycling. You can see the stays of the original Roman street and the gateway foundations if you look slightly below the present street level.</p><p>The Twelfth Century Romanesque Basilica of San Zeno Of Elea Maggiore is quite a masterpiece. It is built upon a Fourth Century shrine to the city's frequenter saint, St. Zeno, the first Bishop of Verona. The basilica's glorious 1 hundred 10 ft (seventy two meter) bell tower is worthy of reference in Dante's Godhead Comedy. Both the room access and the interior bronze door have got multiple panels of biblical scenes and word pictures from St. Zeno's life. Its walls are covered with Twelfth and Fourteenth Century frescoes. Its vaulted crypt incorporates the grave of St. Zeno Of Elea as well as the graves of respective other saints.</p><p>The little but attractive Romanesque Twelfth Century Basilica of San Lorenzo is built on the land site of a Paleo-Christian church, some fragments of which remain. The immense Eighth Century Romanesque Santa Mare Antica Church was the parish Christian church of the Scaligieri household that ruled Verona for many centuries. Many of them are buried in the complex. Some of these graves are quite alone and well deserving seeing, even if you're not a habitué of that kind of thing.</p><p>The Twelfth Century Romanesque Duomo (Cathedral) was constructed on the land site of two Palaeo-Christian churches destroyed by an temblor much earlier in the century. The land site includes an unfinished Sixteenth Century bell tower. Be certain to see the chapel adorned with Titian's Assumption. Verona's biggest Christian church is the Fifteenth Century Sant'Anastasia whose inside is considered one of northern Italy's high-grade illustrations of Gothic architecture, and believe me this competition includes many entries. The building of this brilliant building took nearly two hundred years. Among its points of award are frescoes and kyphosis statues that function to distribute holy water. It is said that touching a hunchback's bulge conveys good luck. Maybe adjacent time.</p><p>San Fermo Maggiore is in world two churches. The tomblike less Romanesque Christian church days of the month from the Eighth Century. The immense Fourteenth Century Gothic upper Christian church is noteworthy for its ceiling festooned with the pictures of four hundred saints. There are more than Christian churches to see in Verona but we are now going to look at castles and palaces.</p><p>The Fourteenth Century Castelvecchio (Old Castle) was built on the Banks of the River Adige River near the Ponte Scaligero (Scaligero Bridge), probably on the land site of a Roman fortress. Built to protect against foreign encroachers and popular rebellions, it included a fortified span in lawsuit the proprietors had to fly north to fall in their allies in the Tyrol. Over the old age the palace have known many redevelopments and restorations. Brand certain to see its fine art museum, specializing in Venetian painters and sculptors.</p><p>Those Scaligeris spent a batch of their clip in the Palazzo degli Scaligeri, their medieval palace, which today, as then, is closed to the general public. But you can travel adjacent door to the Arche Scaligere with its Gothic graves of selected members of the family.</p><p>The Italian Plaza is a meeting place. Verona have some particular examples. The Plaza delle Erbe (Herb Square) have been around since the years of the Romans. For ages it was a fruit and veggie marketplace but now is geared to tourists. It still keeps its medieval expression and some of the green goods stalls. The Plaza dei Signori (Gentlemen's Square) is Verona's centre of activities as it have been for centuries. This square is right adjacent door to the Scaglieri Palace. Those gentlemen didn't believe in commuting. We can't go forth Verona without visiting those star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. The Twelfth Century Casi di Giulietta (Juliet's House) long belonged to the Dekaliter Cappello household and since it's not a long manner from Cappello to Capulet perhaps… This lovely house even possesses a courtyard balcony. Yes, the house at Via Cappello, 23 probably isn't the existent thing, but crowds come up to lout and dream. This could be the topographic point to suggest marriage.</p><p>What about food? Verona's culinary art characteristics typical dishes of the Polonium Valley plains: amalgamated boiled meats, nervetti (calf's ft and veau shank salad), and risotto, often prepared with a healthy douse of Amarone wine. The Plaza delle Erbe still have some fruit and veggie stalls selling local green goods such as as radicchio and asparagus. Not only the vino is classified. Verona is place to a classified cheese, Monte Veronese. But who would believe that rice is also classified? The Riso Nano Vialone Paolo Veronese is a laboratory-developed rice first introduced into the country in 1945. It now stands for 90% of the local production. Are it better than other rice? Locals obviously believe so. I assure that I will savor it on my adjacent trip to Verona.</p><p>Let's propose a sample menu, one of many. Start with Gnocchi (Small Potato Dumplings). Then seek Pastissada Delaware Caval (Horsemeat Stew, often simmered in wine). For dessert indulge yourself with Pandoro di Verona (Verona Butter Cream Cake). Be certain to increase your dining pleasance by including local vinoes with your meal.</p><p>We'll reason with a speedy expression at Venezia-Euganea wine. Venezia-Euganea ranks 3rd among the 20 Italian parts for the country planted in grape vines and for its sum yearly vino production. About 45% of Venezia-Euganea vino is reddish or rosé, leaving 55% for white. The part bring forths 24 doctor vinoes and 3 DOCG wines, Recioto di Soave, Soave Superiore, and Bardolino Superiore. doctor stand ups for Denominazione di Origine Controllata, which may be translated as Denomination of Controlled Origin, presumably a high-quality wine The Gram in DOCG stand ups for Garantita, but there is in fact no warrant that such as vinoes are truly superior. Almost 30% of Venetian vino transports the doctor or DOCG designation.</p><p>Valpolicella doctor is a human race celebrated vino produced north of Verona from respective local redness grapes. This vino is usually nil to compose place about and often savors of cooked cherries. But that is hardly the end of the Valpolicella story. Valpolicella Ripasso is made from immature Valpolicella vino set into army tanks or barrels containing the lees (one could state dregs, but that mightiness give the incorrect impression) of a recioto vino (see below). The mixture undergoes a secondary zymosis and goes a more than interesting wine. Valpolicella Recioto is made from passito grapes, those dried on mats for respective months. It may be a still wine, a fizzy wine, or a sparkling wine. Valpolicella Recioto is sweet or bittersweet. Amarone doctor is a type of Valpolicella Recioto whose refined sugar have been completely transformed into alcoholic beverage becoming a powerful tasting vino that battalions a poke and ages well. What a difference between Amarone and its beginning wine, Valipolcella.</p> </div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-19103146320725091992007-08-08T10:16:00.001-07:002007-08-08T10:16:51.102-07:00Finding the Best Cyprus Nightlife<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <p>The Republic Of Cyprus Nightlife is varied and depending on where you chose to remain can be either relaxed, or one that volition diagnostic test the endurance of hardcore clubber's until the interruption of dawn.

I strolled out on Jacques Cartier Pier to an outdoor concert stage where two well-known Canadian singers, Kim Richardson and Sylvie Desgroseillers were enchanting the audience with Mo-Town and R&B melodies.</p><p>I walked east and happened onto a huge playground area on the little island in the Bassin Bonsecours that was a family entertainment zone. Kids were sliding up and down and in and out of a whole variety of huge inflatable slides. Freestyle skiers were jumping off a large ramp and performing summersaults and various aerial acrobatics. The whole area was packed with people enjoying themselves on a beautiful summer day. I walked up Place Jacques Cartier and into a small pedestrian street called Rue des Amables which is full of portrait artists and galleries. At the end of this little street I found my dinner destination: Galiano's.</p><p>Galiano's is located in a 200 year-old building on a small cobble-stoned street in Old Montreal. Formerly a "boîte à chanson" it opened its doors eight years ago. The restaurant stretches over two floors with an open area in the middle and a wooden staircase leading up to the second floor with seating on an interior balcony. The street-side patio adds additional seating capacity and ambience to this rustic restaurant.</p><p>Always a big fan of Italian cuisine, I was looking forward to a filling meal after a day packed with exercise and activities. The whole area around the restaurant and Old Montreal in general was absolutely hustling and bustling with people and everyone was in good spirits, ready to celebrate since it was Canada Day. Street performers were entertaining the crowd. At just before 6 pm it was still a bit early and I was fortunate to find a seat in the lounge area of the restaurant that features several tables flanking an arrangement of leather couches in front of the fireplace.</p><p>For a few minutes I was able to catch the owner, John Tsinas, to find out more about this culinary establishment. John is part of Montreal's famous Antonopoulos family that owns a variety of hospitality restaurants and hotels in Old Montreal. His uncles are silent partners in Galiano's. John's younger brothers Manny and Peter also work with him in the business. At 40 years of age John is the oldest, and the two other brothers are each five years apart. John says that Manny is the people person and today Manny was seating customers, tryig to keep up with the sheer onslaught of customers that were just streaming into Galiano's.</p><p>Manny is also the man with the creative ideas and he was the one that came up with the idea for lounge area and some of the new decorating styles featured at Galianos. Another new idea is to use a small balcony area above the entrance door as a location for a DJ or some live music. And a wine cellar next to the entrance is presently under construction and will be opened in the near future.</p><p>John has a lot of experience in the hospitality industry: he started working in the restaurant business at age 14 and has worked his way up all the way from the bottom. He even ran a food warehouse for McGill University which included restocking the vending machines and was a waiter at three different restaurants prior to opening Galiano's. John added that he still thinks like an employee and because of his hands-on experience he always treats his staff members with respect. His working style is very hands-on, he says that today he will be calling out the orders in his kitchen and preparing them for the waiters.</p><p>Galiano's is known for its Italian cuisine and its generous portion sizes. Everything is made from scratch at Galiano's. John mentioned their signature dishes: Scaloppini alla Veronica, their Antipasto Misto, a Filetto Tre Sapori, home made Lasagna as well as their Quattro Stagioni Pizza. John recommended that I try Galiano's Calamari Fritti. Just about 10 minutes after my order a steaming plate of juicy and tasty calamari arrived, the perfect introduction to a filling meal. I followed it up with a Galiano Salad: a huge plate of salad with cold cuts and cheese. John wasn't kidding when he talked about huge portion sizes!</p><p>John of course had to get back to work after our little chat, but I thoroughly enjoyed my evening meal and by the time I was finished, the lineup was stretching all the way out the door and down the street. Galiano's is obviously a favourite destination for many in Old Montreal and for me it was a great starting point for my evening discoveries which would include the official Canada Day Celebrations and a big concert in the Old Port of Montreal.</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-88835497133080731452007-06-26T11:09:00.001-07:002007-06-26T11:09:37.564-07:00India Beach Tour - An Everlasting Sweet Experience<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>India is one of the most popular tourist destinations in south Asia.

Europe provides idyllic skiing opportunities in Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia and more. In spite of the misconception that American ski resorts are overcrowded, there are more than six hundred snowy playgrounds that are not only unheralded, but also relatively uncongested.</p><p>Mammoth Mountain, Aspen, Banff And More</p><p>Mammoth Mountain, California is big and includes a ski season that lasts till June or July. It even boasts of a ski school with hundreds of instructors, and provides high quality groomed snow throughout the winters. Aspen, Colorado is famous, and has many black-diamond runs as well as steep, narrow trails twists down. As a skier you face the challende of taking on the Rockies. Aspen certainly has quality terrain combined with powder and steep drops that comprises over six hundred acres of skiing excellence. With expert runs and room enough for first-time skiers, Aspen is a hot spot for North American ski vacations.</p><p>Another popular North American ski vacation destination is Banff. It is located in Canada. It has been in existence since 1883 and has been a haven for skiers from all across the world down to this day. This ski destination provides three ski areas that have more than two hundred and fifty runs spread over 7,700 acres and is consistently rated as being the top ski destination for skiers as well as snowboarders.</p><p>The Andes provides plenty of skiing opportunities and the list of ski resorts is quite long. The Andes of Argentina is certain to provide world class ski vacation opportunities and you can be sure to find a day or two of satisfying downhill skiing available at places such as Las Lenas, Cerro Catedral and Chapelco. There are also limited skiing options available on the volcanoes of the Los Nevados range in Colombia.</p><p>In Ecuador, one can ski the four highest peaks called Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Cayambe and Antisana. Peru too has potential for exploratory skiing, while one may want to try out the Chacaltaya Mountain just outside La Paz in Bolivia.</p><p>Europe no doubt is a haven for skiing and there are many ski vacation destinations you can choose from including Davos, Adelboden, Champery, Engelberg, Gstaad and many more skiing destinations in Switzerland. Davos is certainly the largest ski resort in Switzerland. It is also the highest city in Europe and is one of the oldest and most fashionable ski resorts that has an enviable reputation for providing excellent skiing along with an exciting night-life. It has five ski areas on both sides of the valley and has much variety in terms of terrain that is ideally suited for alpine skiing.</p><p>Of special interest to serious skiers would be a ski vacation that takes in Zermatt in Switzerland, Innsbruck in Austria and Chamonix in France.

Above all, you should make sure to pack ski equipment such as your ski boots, skis, and poles. Also we recommend that you have a ski bag for them. Of course, if you would rather travel lightly, which is what we would recommend, then renting your ski gear is the way to go!</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-26203488694074529642007-06-07T13:12:00.001-07:002007-06-07T13:12:57.430-07:00Cheap Sweden Hotels - Low Cost High Satisfaction<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>Sweden is the largest Scandinavian country and it offers you several opportunities for cultural and outdoor activities. You have plenty of opportunities to explore the glorious history of the country while visiting the cities which are fine examples of cosmopolitan and modern society. Extensive forest region, 90,000 lakes, mountains, and beautiful sea are the wonderful assets of the country. Obviously, to have the pleasure of seeing all this, you need to stay longer over there. Cheap Sweden hotels are the best option if budget is anyway a matter of concern for you. Despite being on the outskirts of Europe, Sweden never lost its fabulous cultural taste. The chiefs of the then kingdom used to invite artists from all across the globe to their courts. This trend helped Swedish people immensely in developing own traditional, cultural and architectural heritages.</p><p>Four of the greatest cities, Stockholm, Linkoping, Gothenburg and Malmo have all the good traits to bring smile on your face. The capital city Stockholm is a hi-tech city which has a fine historical background. Predecessors such as Uppsala, Birka, Kykoping and Sigtuna surround the city. You must enjoy the famous trip Gothenburg on boat through the Gota Canal that connects Gothenburg with Stockholm. You will find plenty of interesting facts about both medieval and modern history of aviation and electronics while on the trip through the central plain and valleys of Sweden. Some of the cheap hotels in Sweden also have incredible configuration when it comes to get impressed by the superb architectural design.</p><p>Gothenburg is the industrial town of the country. It is the commercial capital of the country. Large international port dominates the city. Malmo is another city in the south which is cosier and has a more common touch. Nature has bestowed upon a lot of blessings to the southern region of the country. Warm and sandy beaches, rural landscape with beautiful manors and patches of woods pervade through the region.</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-582410290660216252007-06-01T13:48:00.001-07:002007-06-01T13:48:53.747-07:00What is Small Group Adventure Travel?<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>What exactly is Small Group Adventure Travel?</p><p>Lucky means many things to many people. I have never won a large sum of money in fact I never won anything really. I have a nice place to stay and enough to eat but I work for that so I'm not sure how much it has to do with luck. I find more red lights than green and I never get away with anything that is even slightly naughty. But I am a lucky man.</p><p>I have worked in small group adventure travel for 10 years now I have experienced many countries andsights, made real friends and learnt a great deal. Travel makes me happy and a happy man is a lucky man.</p><p>Small group adventures is a fast growing sector of the travel industry, some say the fastest, but it's a style of travel that has many misconceptions. Unlike other styles of travel such as cruising, or a beach resort the words small group adventure is quite cloudy for travellers and travel agents alike. So what I want to do, as simply as I can, is clarify what small group adventure is all about.</p><p>Adventure-<br /> Adventure is the word that starts to confuse us because adventure means different things to different travellers. Think of this type of adventure as a genuine experience of a country and it's people. So if we are having an adventure in Tuscany, for example, we would stay in a beautiful Tuscan farmhouse, meet Tuscans in a local restaurant eating great Tuscan food. Now if we were having a genuine experience in say Papua we will be trekking through thick jungle, staying in a remote village house and the food, well, it will be local.</p><p>Escorted tours in small groups-<br /> The words group or escorted tour can conjure up visions of name badges, flag waving guides and one hour toilet stops. Small groups average 12 people of many nationalities from different backgrounds and all ages. Small groups mean more attention from guides and leaders and a lot more freedom. For most it is a relaxed way to travel that gives you freedom and expert local knowledge but takes the hassles of day to day travelling away.</p><p>Age-<br /> The average age of one of our travellers is 18 to 70. Travellers are attracted to different destinations, level of budget and comfort. This determines what type of person travels on which trip. Generally the group you are travelling with will have chosen that trip for the same reasons as you. Will they be the same age as you? Maybe but you will find you will have a lot in common.</p><p>Accommodation-<br /> Small groups do not need to book big hotels. Your budget determines the facilities of your place to stay but not the comfort. People travelling on a budget will be staying in basic but clean, comfortable and central accommodation. You can afford something a little more then stay with a Maharajah in his palace or in a family run 4 star boutique hotel. You can afford the best then we will find you the best hotels hand picked for their uniqness.</p><p>Responsible Travel-<br /> The only time you can have more fun being responsible than not being responsible is travelling. Giving back to people who welcome you to their country is a responsible thing to do. How can we do this? We can use operators that take us to eat in a good local restaurants, that use family run hotels, that use local businesses to help run their trips, we could buy some souvenirs from the markets or visit some sight that is away from the crowds. We could also use operators that have different community projects help those that need help the most. We can even get involved in those projects by donations or spending a couple of days helping out on a volunteer holiday.</p><p>This, I hope, clears some of the haze surrounding small group adventures. There are many other questions to be answered I'm sure so you can contact me on the address below.</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-30820771941955813432007-05-29T20:44:00.001-07:002007-05-29T20:44:39.045-07:00Minnesota Rural Golf- Meadowlark Country Club<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>Meadowlark Country Club is located on the southern edge of the city limits of Melrose, Minnesota. Melrose is the childhood home of my wife, and I have played at Meadowlark Country Club many times over the years. In this article, I am going to cover not only the layout of the course, but the unique sense of family that make up this and many other member owned, municipal or mom and pop operated 9-hole golf courses in Minnesota.</p><p>On the day in early May that I played Meadowlark Country Club most recently, my wife and I had made the trip for her to attend a family baby shower. I thought it would be nice to mix in some golf with my father-in-law one of my brothers-in-law and a couple of nephews. You know that you are either part of a large family or in a small town and maybe perhaps both when you arrive at the golf course with that many family members and you also discover upon check in at the Pro-shop that one of your nieces is working behind the counter that afternoon.</p><p>Melrose is similar to many small towns in Minnesota. The idyllic setting written about by Garrison Keillor in his series of books about fictional Lake Wobegon as well as the News from Lake Wobegon reported on his radio show A Prairie Home Companion. This is the type of place Keillor reminds us that this is where "the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all the children are above average." Evidence was a sign on the first tee box requesting all groups to limit themselves to 5 players or less. I will also mention that even playing with a 5-some we completed 18-holes in 4 hours. Slow play should not be expected if you police yourself and play "ready-golf".</p><p>Melrose is about the midway point between St. Cloud and Alexandria on Interstate 94. This makes a great place to stop and take a break when traveling from the Twin Cities to parts farther north and west. And a 9-hole round of two hours or less can be a refreshing break to a long car trip.</p><p>Meadowlark Country Club plays to a par of 72 for 18-holes and measures 6,278 yards for the middle tees. There are no dramatic elevation changes but there are water hazards or sand traps that come into play on every hole. If the wind is blowing across the prairie from the west or northwest the course plays completely different and you definitely need to be absolutely sure of your club selection.</p><p>To play Meadowlark Country Club, call 320-256-4989 and ask the Pro-shop attendant on duty if you need a tee time that day. Many times in the middle of the week you can walk right on and virtually have the golf course to yourself. This is a great stop to break up a roadtrip to Alexandria or parts farther north or west!</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-72592578864779673022007-05-21T10:12:00.001-07:002007-05-21T10:12:17.582-07:00Finding a Limousine in Dallas is Easy<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>Sometimes you need to travel around the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in conjunction with a special event. It might be something as momentous as your wedding day, as fun as prom night, or as sophisticated as a fabulous dinner on the town. Other times require the use of a luxury limousine for business purposes. No matter what your reasons, finding a limousine in Dallas is easy to do.</p><p>The first step is to locate Dallas limousine services. This is easily accomplished with an Internet search. But once you have found a list of services, how do you determine which ones offer quality transportation services upon which you can rely?</p><p>There are some simple qualifications you will want to use to determine whether or not you wish to utilize the services of any Dallas Car Service. You will need to find out what type of limousine you need. Several are available, including sedans, stretch limousines, SUVs, and luxury buses and vans. For individuals or small groups, a sedan might suffice. If you are planning to hold a bachelor party, then you will want to accommodate 15 to 20 party guests aboard a luxury bus.</p><p>Next, you will need to decide which amenities you would like in your vehicle. Dual air conditioning and even flat-screen televisions are available in newer-model limousines, but not in older ones, so you will likely want to ask if these are available in the Dallas limo you wish to hire.</p><p>It also pays to ask about the insurance on the vehicle and its manufacturer. All limousine rental companies by law are required to have appropriate insurance, but to be safe ask about it before you make a reservation. Also make sure that the vehicle you will travel in was built by a manufacturer certified Coach builder. These limousines come with all the comfort and safety features that you would expect to find in a luxury vehicle, yet are sometimes missing on non-professionally built cars.</p><p>After looking at all of these standards, the list of Dallas limos will narrow until you find the one that will best meet your needs. You can easily make a reservation by placing a telephone call to the company or by filling out an online form. Either way, you can be sure to get what you want.</p><p>Luxury limousine service is easy to find in Dallas, and so easy to use. After your reservation is made, your worries will be over. Your limousine will arrive at your door, and whisk you to your destination. Your professional chauffeur will open doors for you and deal with your luggage, so you don't have to.

Then, feel the mist from the falls blowing through the breeze and kissing your face. What you are imagining is known as the "Niagara of the South", this 125 foot wide waterfall appears to be a curtain of water falling to the gorge below. No matter when you see this waterfall it is amazing and it gives off a different appearance at night and during the day.</p><p>One of the most amazing aspects of Cumberland Falls is the moon bow, which only shows up on nights when there is a full moon. That event in itself is worth visiting the falls and if you can plan a trip on a full moon then you will experience something like you have never seen. You won't find anything like this anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere so it really is worth a visit!</p><p>The best times left to visit in 2007 to see the moon bow is April 30th, May 1st-4th and 30th-31st, June 1st-3rd and 28th-30th, July 1st-2nd and 28th-31st, August 24th-28th, October 24th-28th, November 22nd-26th, and December 22nd-26th.</p><p>You can plan some other activities while you are visiting Cumberland Falls State Park in Corbin, Kentucky. Some of the most popular are canoeing and white water rafting. There are professionals who will take you out on the water if you are looking for a guide. A great place to stay is at the Dupont Lodge, where you can relax and enjoy the view of the valley. While you are in the area you may also enjoy horseback riding, swimming, and other outdoor activities.</p><p>There is a website that has great information on USA Vacations and Unique Travel Spots Listed State By State and Season, the website is called: Seasonal Vacation Spots, and can be found at this url:</p><p>http://www.seasonalvacationspots.com</p><p>By Robert W.

Nothing compares to the thrill of spotting these immense creatures as they breach and spy hop in the ocean.</p><p>All the more reason then to make the most of every opportunity and ensure that very little time is wasted.</p><p><b>What brings Southern Right Whales to the Cape, and why for only a limited season?</b><br></br><br /> Southern Right Whales spend the greatest part of their time in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean near Antarctica. This is where the strong, cold current upwellings produce the large quantities of zooplankton on which the whales feed.</p><p>However, during winter the Southern Ocean is a pretty inhospitable place even for the mighty whale. So the whales migrate north each year to calve and then raise their young in warmer, more sheltered waters before returning to the Southern Ocean in summer.</p><p><b>When is the Best Time to Whale Watch in and around Cape Town?</b><br></br><br /> Whales start arriving in Cape Town waters as early as May and can remain here until November. However, there is no questioning the fact that <b>August, September and early October</b> offer the easiest pickings when to comes to whale sightings.</p><p>During September, particularly, whales seem to be at their maximum concentration, with family groups putting on spectacular displays all over the ocean.</p><p><b>Where? Hermanus: Whale Hot Spot #1</b><br></br><br /> This small Overberg town a little more than an hour's drive from Cape Town is known as the top land-based whale watching spot in Southern Africa. It even plays host to a Whale Festival every September. A couple of factors contribute to its justifiable fame, <ul><br /> <li>Firstly, the town is built along the coast of Walker Bay, which offers exactly the calm habitat that whales seek for their temporary home.</li><br /> <li>Secondly, much of the town is built along the rocky cliffs of the Bay which form a natural amphitheatre round the ocean, thereby offering grandstand seats to watchers without being forced to take to the sea.</li><br /> </ul></p><p>Of course if you want to take to the sea, there are licensed boat-based operators who will be only too delighted to oblige you.</p><p><b>Where? False Bay: Whale Hot Spot #2</b><br></br><br /> This wide shallow bay, home to Cape Town suburbs such as Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay, Fishhoek and Simonstown, is similarly well placed for casual land-based whale watching. All the suburbs along its length offer elevated slopes ideal for keeping a vigilant eye on activity at sea level.</p><p>Licensed boat-based whale watching companies operate out of the Simonstown Harbour and the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-1175877817615181152007-04-06T05:55:00.000-07:002007-04-06T09:43:37.663-07:00A Kissimmee Guide to a Great Vacation<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Kissimmee is near Orlando and many people stay there to save money on a trip to Disney World.

Parents and children can go mountain-biking, sea kyaking, abseiling and caving. No experience is required.</p><p>Stay at an attractive farmhouse overlooking olive groves and orchards near the village of Sella. You can do a new activity or excursion each day - a ferry trip to the small fortified island of Tabarca, a walk led by a local shepherd and his goats, chances to savour traditional village life, helping to pick fruit and press olives.</p><p>Stay in a Castle</p><p>Head for the hills, forests and Medieval towns of the Gerona area of catalonia.</p><p>One of the finest palaces to stay in is the four-star Castell d'Emporda, a beautifully restored 14th century castle, with towering views over the surrounding countryside.</p><p>Relax</p><p>Formentera is a laid-back island only a half hour boat ride from Ibiza.

There are also three days of ground-based activities including mountain biking, canoning and white water rafting.</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-1175295055467093592007-03-30T13:01:00.000-07:002007-03-30T16:50:55.530-07:00Finding A Cheap Mexico Vacation<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>If you have never been to the colorful country of Mexico then you don't know what you are missing out on. There is so much to do there, and the country is steeped in rich culture and history with so many different settings to leave you in awe.</p><p>There are tropical beaches, ancient ruins, beautiful sunsets, thick jungles, colorful villages, and friendly people. If finances are holding you back then do not worry, as there are some cheap Mexico vacations that will be perfect for you and your whole family to experience this amazing place.</p><p>In your cheap Mexico vacation you may not choose to fly, although there are some super package deals with free flights for kids, or fly one way and get the flight back free. You can look around online and find plenty of special deals to take advantage of. If you want to save money you can also drive from the border after landing at San Diego.</p><p>This trip can be a great experience all on its own and you can see many wonderful sites, rock formations, and wildlife. If you are driving you must not get out of your car in the middle o f the desert, as there are dangerous scorpions and snakes.</p><p>Some Cheap Mexico Vacation Considerations</p><p>A cheap Mexico vacation could be easy as the shopping is relatively cheap if you go to the open flea market and barter with the vendors. You can find many great authentic restaurants too where they are not catering for the tourists.</p><p>If you want to take part in some activities at the beaches, you can find that some are expensive, like swimming with the dolphins, but you can snorkel, and still have fun swimming.</p><p>One of the most expensive parts of the vacation will be the accommodation, but you must think carefully before deciding where to stay. Along the coast during spring break like in Cancun, the cheaper places will be crowded with student who will be partying all night and it will not be fun for a family vacation.</p><p>There are usually cheap Mexico vacation offers at the beach resorts which can be secluded and often nicer then the fancy hotels. You must just look around online and check with your travel agent as to where there is a good place to stay that is not too expensive. One important thing to have is air conditioning as the summer can be scorching hot, so insist on that.</p><p>When dining out, try to go to places that are more authentic for your cheap Mexico vacation. The whole point of your trip is to experience Mexico so go somewhere up market but not commercial or Westernized in any way.</p><p>This will mean that you still get friendly service and great food but it will not cost too much. When site seeing, you should take the opportunity to have a cheap Mexico vacation by not being part of a tour. A tour guide will cost and you do not really need one.</p><p>The amazing ruins and temples speak for themselves. You can also attend the festivals which are held at different times through out the year for a true taste of Mexican culture and lifestyle.</p></div>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03666348222819783144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31445718.post-1175041211774845452007-03-27T14:30:00.000-07:002007-03-27T18:20:11.843-07:00The Best Cabo San Lucas Mexico Vacation Package<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>A Cabo San Lucas Mexico vacation package will be a great escape from the real world because you will have stepped into a unique and interesting city with plenty of clubs, bars and restaurants.
