Europe Destinations

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Some of the best Europe destinations are ones that are not included with some of the most traditional packages you can find. Some people want to see as much of Europe as they can, and that means jumping from one country to another as quickly as they can.

If you decide that you want to see some of the destinations in Europe that are not of the regular, you may have to plan your own trip. Most that you find through websites and travel agencies are going to have some of the more common stops. You can research online to see some of the out-of-the-way places that others have chosen to explore.

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

DON’T be surprised to see Patsy Palmer or Ricky Tomlinson on the steps of their caravans with a flask of tea this summer.The ex- Eastenders star and the down-to-earth Royle are just two stars swapping luxury hotels for four-wheeled freedom.

Travel Insurance - Should We Have It?

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Many hundreds of things can stop you from going on your vacation or interrupt it and whilst insurance money is not the answer to everything, it does help if you are away from your home in a foreign country and for less than ten percent of the total cost, can you afford not too? Not only could you be prevented from traveling through accident or illness but even worse, they could happen when you were on vacation and in which case you could either lose the deposit or be forced to pay local medical bills.

You could also find yourself in some mishap that leaves you far from home with no money and unable to keep the reservation you already made with no refunds available and this is when it makes sense to purchase travel insurance. Travel insurance cover will allow for… keep reading why we should have travel insurance

Arty Things to Do in Rome this Summer!

Friday, July 25th, 2008

If you aren’t sure how to start planning your Rome Summer Holiday, then start with the Museo delle Mura on via di Porta San Sebastiano, 18. Here you will find an exciting new installation by Huang Rui called “Beijing 2008: Time, Animals, History.” Until November 23rd.

This piece was created specifically for the Museo delle Mura by this Chinese avant-garde who gathered his inspiration from the large stone Rome accommodation buildings and monuments in Rome. The work is specifically a striking piece made from 2,008 bricks collected from the “hutong” neighbourhoods in Beijing, old quarters which are being demolished to create new developments for the Olympics. Bound to make you think about the current climate surrounding the Beijing Olympics, this installation represents what is happening all over the world all the time, demolishing the old to bring in shinier and new.

The soul of the show is its Eastern chronological articulation, which sees time as a perpetual cycle of long temporal cycles, whereas in the West time is a succession between one number and the next with no sense of continuity. Each of the 2,008 bricks features a western numeral (from 1 to 2008) and a date taken from the Chinese calendar, as well as the name of the emperor of that time. The bricks are further organised by Chinese zodiac signs and animal spirits. The exhibition is open Tue-Sun with and entrance fee of €3 and reduced rate for children €1,5.

Further more, there are plenty other installations to see in Rome this Summer, the question is, how are you going to fit in all of them?! There are plenty of Rome hotels and Rome apartments nearby. In Castel Sant’Angelo at lungotevere di Castello, 50, this summer you will find the striking exhibition of “Egypt in Rome from history to myth”. This exhibition is running from 28 June to 28 Oct and seeks to highlight the relationship between two of the greatest civilizations that ever were; the Romans and the Ancient Egyptians. The link between these two civilizations is powerful. The high number of obelisks and many Roman artefacts show how Roman art was profoundly influenced by Egyptian art. The artists of the Renaissance also gleaned their inspiration from the ancient prophets, the Great Hermes Trismegisto for example, and the fascinating and mysterious hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. The Borgias wanted the story of Egyptian deities painted on the ceilings and walls in their rooms in the Vatican and Raphael used a semblance of Artemis Ephesia (thinking her to be Isis) on the ceiling of the Vatican’s Stanza della Segnatura. An intense passion for Egypt was rife throughout the 18th century onwards and has continued on until the present day; the Americans wanted a pyramid on their dollar bill and the French unveiled the mysteries of the hieroglyphics. This exhibition is open from Tue to Sun, 09.00-19.00 and the entrance price is €5 plus an exhibition fee.

Postcard Collecting Builds Memories And Dreams

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

When we go on vacation, most of us can’t resist picking up a few postcards to remind us of our adventures long after the trip is over. Although we also usually take a camera along on our trips, we may not have the opportunity or photographic skill to catch that beautiful sunset off the Jamaican coast in all its glory.
Postcards allow us to capture that memory in a little card and bring it home. Our friends may send us postcards from their travels, allowing us to savor the photo from our armchair vantage point. Just as we all have family photo albums, postcard collecting is a fun and inexpensive hobby that lets us remember the good times, share our memories and dream of future trips to exotic places.

Boarding Dogs - What Goes On Behind Closed Doors?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I had never given much taught into what was involved when it comes to boarding dogs. When I was a kid I didn’t have a dog, but I had always wanted one. I was envious of all the other children who had dogs, and I would head over and pet their pets whenever I could. My parents, however, hated animals. They did not like having to put up with the mess, if you get my meaning, and also they didn’t trust… read: Boarding Dogs - What Goes On Behind Closed Doors?

Lake Travis in Texas

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

The nice bonus from having to build flood defenses is the recreational opportunities it brings. Lake Travis is a 65 mile long artificial lake on the Colorado River in Texas. The reservoir was needed for flood control and was made possible by building the Mansfield Dam near Austin, completed in 1942. At a maximum depth of 190 feet (58m), the lake supplies water and hydroelectric power. A severe flood in 1938 was a major factor in the decision to build the dam. The lake is . . . .

Six Flags Great Adventure

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I don’t get to go out on vacation very often, so a trip I took to Six Flags Great Adventure last summer was a welcome distraction, even if I was only going for one day. I drove down to New Jersey to meet friends, and we spent the day in the park. I had been to Great Adventure after my high school graduation, but because it takes six hours to drive there, I had not been back since. Not only was I excited to ride some of the great attractions that I remember from fifteen years ago, I couldn’t wait for . . . . .

Country Houses For Rent

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Once I had located a couple of country houses to rent I discussed this with my husband. One of the houses was located about a thirty minute drive from his job. Out of all the country houses to rent that I saw this one seemed ideal. The home sat on the corner of a large ranch, it at one time had been the ranch hands quarters, but it had been remodeled to rent for summer housing for a family. It was close to a fishing stream that was appropriate for swimming and family members were allowed to help with chores on the ranch if they wished. I called the rental phone number and . . . . .

Cottage rentals

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

We have had ocean front property for a few years, but the cost of building and the inconvenience have prevented us from really doing anything with it. Instead, we have been using cottage rentals for the last several years as a way to enjoy ourselves in the summer. There is a lot to be said for cottages rentals. Owning cottages for sale is nice, but it requires a lot of work. You have to make sure it is well taken care of in the off-season, and issues like seasonal flooding, freezing, or freak weather can really take their toll rather quickly. There is nothing that can go bad more quickly than a . . . .
