Using business jets has various positives, for example, being able to travel in ultimate luxury and comfort, straight through to being able to attend that vital convention taking place in a different continent.

For lots of leading business-people and global corporations, the business jet has always been a vital tool in company life, where the larger expenses related with using a private jet made up for by the efficiency saving capabilities, allowing firms to perform their business needs globally.

Ever since the emergence of the G550 passengers are able to benefit from the longer cabin, long-distance capacity and heightened comfort levels.

The G550 from Gulfstream gets its power from two Rolls-Royce turbofan engines, has a range of 6,750 miles (nautical) at Mach 0.80 with a high speed cruising ability of mach 0.87. Its far-reaching flight range ensures that it is able to perform trans-atlantic flights with ease, increasing a traveller’s ability to globally, while the G550’s longer interior gives it the capability to sit fourteen people in unequalled comfort and opulence.

For the majority of people, utilising a G550 is out of the question, but by utilising fractional ownership, the chance of flying on one of these great planes has become a lot more realistic.

Fractional aircraft ownership is a new model set up in the mid 90s to allow passengers of business jets a larger choice of private jets, while at the same time minimising the overall cost of private travel. Find a variety of aircraft charter companies online.

Should you not purchase a jet but instead joining a membership scheme with a fractional private jet ownership corporation, clients aren’t bothered with the further costs of the plane’s upkeep, employing a fully qualified flight crew and all of the other expenditure that is traditionally related with managing an executive jet.

As well as reducing costs on jet maintenance and staff, participants of a fractional aircraft membership are able to select a plane from a fleet of aircraft, depending on the type of journey they require. At the end of the day, the Gulfstream G550 is able to carry up to and including fourteen travellers; but you may not always want that amount of passenger room. By taking a smaller private jet, dramatically less fuel is required, meaning a flight wouldn’t be as expensive and kinder to the environment.

The coral reefs flourish along the protected coast, quite close to the shore, making it ideal for beach dives. Divers and snorkelers will also find dive tour operators who have top class equipment and knowledgeable staff who know the best sites and the places where you can see the exotic marine life at its best. Best of all, divers and snorkelers can have easy access to the beaches and the dive sites which are relatively less crowded than other Caribbean destinations. The Columbus Channel which separates the Turks Islands from the Caicos Islands is an 8000 foot deep passage for migrating fish and other marine animals like dolphins and turtles. The Princess Alexandra National Park and Northwest Point are two popular diving sites on Privdenciales. Other famous sites include Pine Cay, Salt Cay, French Cay. Grand Turk is known for its wall dives.

The warm weather and the cool waters that welcome divers and snorkelers at any time of the year in the Turks and Caicos make for a memorable diving experience for experienced divers and nocies. Easily accessible sites with shipwrecks like Salt Cay’s HMS Endymion and other wrecks like the ones near Blue Hills and Birch’s Look out attract divers and snorkelers alike. Not-to-be-missed dive sites in the Turks and Caicos include:

Amphitheater neara protected the passage where divers and snorkelers can see migrating whales, manta rays and sharks.

Pinc Cay and West Caicos are well known for its variety of sponge formations that divers and snorkelers can observe here..

Diving and snorkeling lessons are available from various operators and diving schools for beginners, who can also get certified.

With a multitude of ski bus transfers based from Geneva, this has meant the cost of Geneva airport transfers coming down significantly.

Gone are the days when there were just a few operators to pick.

These days the snowboarder has a array of choices, with nearly all operators running a small fleet of modern buses.

Indeed if you are skiing in Les Houches then a transfer from Geneva to Chamonix can take just an hour, and cost only 25 Euros.

The speed of the transfer, and the reduced costs of Chamonix transfers, means that short skiing breaks are more popular as holiday makers prefer to take less time off work, but still want to delight in their skiing vacations.

Skiing weekends will remain popular as snowboarders are still keen to go on a ski break, but don’t want to have a whole seven days off work owing to the economic crisis.

Yet another benefit of the lower ski transfer prices is that the costs of ski breaks carries on falling.

Snowboard rental is certainly cheaper than we are used to, particularly if you take the opportunity to book online prior to leaving for skiing.

And although the lowered value of the sterling compared to the euro means that stuff is costlier in the town, if you are going on a luxury ski chalet rental then most of your holiday is paid for in pounds before you arrive.

The season gets going during mid November and culminates in May. The purpose built French village supplies everything for you. The resort unfolds along the vale from La Daille as far as Le Fornet with the buzzing centre in Val Village. This clustering of appealing chalets comprise chic dress shops nearly all of which have sprung up since the town was chosen for the Winter Olympics in 1992.

Broken into 3 parts the town has many trails for all skiers. It has a fab snow record, the resort is massively popular among advanced boarders and motorway skiing intermediates, however you don’t need to be particularly adventurous to love what is on offer. It is easy to why numerous Brits are attracted to the area, with its exciting night-life and the choice of luxury chalets on offer, furthermore the proximity of Tignes enables you to head out to less busy climes if it all becomes all too much.

Pros

A good nightlife in France. Everybody talks English. Comfortable approach to both Val d’Isre and Tignes known as the Espace Killy ski area. There is lots of cars and while there are regular buses during the daytime, committed party animmals had better head to be within walking distance of the town centre.

Cons

Costly. Busy and very fashionable with the English, therefore not for holiday makers wanting a classic French ski resort to enjoy a calming trip. Many skiing lifts can shut in stormy weather. Several challenging blue and green pistes.

Time for all the ghouls and demons to come out of the woodwork. Time for children to dress up in imaginative costumes and go around their neighbourhoods asking for treats. Yes, it’s that enjoyable annual holiday: Halloween. During this holiday, one popular tradition, for many, is to go to the local haunted houses. In these creepy commorancies, people delight in the chance to entertain their primal fears. Many of us get a kick out of a good scare.

Of course, these are just false haunted houses. Annual occurrences of smoke and mirror type frights. They are fun because everyone plays along. The demons are actors, the ghosts, props. These haunted houses are fun because both spook and spooked, know that no one is actually going to be hurt in the process. So then, what of real haunted houses?

Here the rules change. This time the scares are real, and the safety of the victim is placed into question. Now one comes face to face with the supernatural. That is, assuming that there is such a thing as “the supernatural.”

Most neighbourhoods in many parts of the industrial and post-industrial world, seem to harbour one, or two allegedly haunted places. According to Dennis William Hauck’s National Directory of Haunted Houses, there are over 2,000 haunted places in the United States alone. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise considering that the only real criteria for a haunted house is a creepy atmosphere, a fairly rich history, and a few eyewitness accounts.

So, where are some of the best places to go, to see a “real” haunting? How about two of the most haunted places on earth?:

• Whaley House – Located in San Diego, California, this is the current reigning champion for the nation’s most haunted house. The abode was partially built on an old cemetery, as well as some of San Diego’s first public gallows. The residence has stood there for the past 148 years. Placement of the house, has made it a prime scene for many gruesome acts over the past century. Because of this, vast arrays of ghostly sightings have occurred on this property. These include the ghost of a young girl who accidentally hung herself on a clothesline whilst running down a hillside. Noted thief Jim Robinson, was hung 5 years before the house was built. His place of death now resides between the parlor and music room. Visitors have reported feeling a coldness and constriction of the neck, when around the archway that separates these rooms. Along with these two ghosts, there are numerous accounts of phantom scents in some rooms, cries of nonexistent babies in other rooms, and various apparitions that have been seen in the house’s mirrors and windows.

• Borley Rectory – Not to be outdone by the States, England is also host to a number of haunted places. The most haunted of which is, allegedly, Borley Rectory, in the small town of Borley, in Essex. The rectory (lodging for priests) was built in 1863, on the site of an ancient monastery. Interestingly enough, it was built on a spot that was already known to house a ghost (a nun who was bricked up alive, in one of the monastic cellars). The rectory has since had numerous sightings of the nun, as well as many poltergeist activities, where various objects would be smashed, or displaced. Strange sounds, odors and cold spots are all known to occur there as well.

While both of these places claim to be haunted, one must ask if haunting is even a real thing, or just a psychosomatic phenomenon. Are ghosts real, or just figments of our imagination? This remains a controversial topic among the general public. A recent Harris poll (February 2003) found that a whopping 51% of people surveyed, believed in ghosts.

Of course belief in something, and the reality of it, are not always one and the same. After all, there was a time when much of the world believed that the planet was flat, and that disease was caused by the influence of the stars. While there is much debate over the validity of ghosts among the general public, there is little to no debate among the scientific community. To date, there has been no concrete evidence to suggest the validity of ghosts, or any other preternatural occurrences.

Okay then, so what are people seeing? Along with the various ghost seekers out there; there are also a handful of ghost-busters. Reading the various reports from these guys, has shown that ghostly encounters are the result of one of two things.

1. Hallucinations
2. Hoaxes

The first term is just reserved for clinically insane, right? Not really. Hallucinations are more common among the general public, than one might think. A hallucination is simply a moment where one’s brain mistakes a sight, sound, or smell, for something it isn’t. Most hallucinations occur during “dazed” moments. That is, moments when the person is in a fairly relaxed state. The two most popular times are just when one is going to, or coming out of sleep, or when doing a relaxed, fairly monotonous activity.

Hallucinations that occur when one is about to go to sleep, or when one has just come out of sleep, are called Hypnopompic Hallucinations, or “waking dreams.” The brain is not fully out of “sleep mode” when one wakes up, and thus, moments of dreaming, leak out into reality. Hallucinations can also occur during monotonous activities like cleaning. When one is placed into a daydreaming type state, apparitions have a tendency to occur. Many people report seeing something out of the corner of their eyes. This is often the result of their eye registering the sudden movement of some small thing (e.g. a fly, their eyelash, or pieces of drifting material inside the eye itself), and their brain associating it with a larger thing. Sometimes these take on the form of a person standing, or sitting. The degree of the detail in the hallucination, has a lot to do with how susceptible/imaginative the hallucinator is. The result, though, is always the same. The second the person looks away, the “apparition” disappears.

As for why so many people report the same thing; this has a lot to do with the power of suggestion. People who are aware of the stories associated with a particular place, are often predisposed to seeing the objects in question. Most of the time, the hallucination is just attributed to some portion of the stories the person may have heard (often getting molded to fit the scenario after the fact). Other times, the hallucination is vivid enough to create a new ghostly tale. This is usually the result of a person with a “fantasy prone” personality type. That is, a person who is particularly good at fantasizing. Many people like this go on to write fantasy/science fiction books, or claim to have psychic abilities. They also tend to be easily hypnotized. Cases where objects are found displaced, or moving, are often exaggerations of what actually happened. Sometimes the person might even subconsciously move stuff about in an effort to bring their fantasy to life.

Which, then, leads us into our second major type of haunting: hoaxes. Many haunted places around the globe, are staged that way to elicit the feeling of paranormal activities. Many places that have a history of being haunted, are probably getting a helping hand from owners/staff members who are trying to keep the legends alive. This can be small things like synchronized stepping sounds during a certain portion of the night, to intentionally flicking light switches on and off, creating ghostly images, and making up secondary stories.

Oftentimes, these “hoax houses” are readily ferreted out. Occasionally though, a haunted house retains its air of paranormal for much longer, and resists attempts at debunking. Take, for instance, the infamous case of the Amityville Horror. The Amityville Horror took place in Amityville, New York in 1975. The home had been the scene of the gruesome murder of the DeFeo family by family member Ronald “Butch” Jr. a year prior. The home was bought by George and Kathy Lutz, and their three kids. Not long after moving in, the Lutzes reported the demonic possession of their house, and gave a somewhat detailed account of what occurred there during their 28 day stay.

The story was turned into a book by authour Jay Anson, in 1977. This was then followed by a 1979 movie based on the book, and now a 2005 remake. All three feature the tagline: a true story. This, though, was far from the case. Ever since the initial tale was brought to the public’s attention, there have been detractors. Yet despite the noted compilation, by researchers Rick Moran & Peter Jordan, of over 100 different factual errors seen between the book’s story, and the actual facts (e.g. the supposed demonic hoof print found in the snow, could not have occurred as there was no snowfall that night), despite these facts, the legend continued.

In the end, it finally took the confession of William Weber (the DeFeo’s attorney), and the Lutzes themselves, to finally put this legend to rest. The Amityville Horror was finally debunked, but the damage was already done. All successive owners of the DeFeo’s old estate must now deal with multitudes of gawkers and paranormal investigators, who insist on touring the ill fated home.

So this Halloween, if someone dares you to spend the night at the local “real” haunted house; just remember the famous words of investigative authours Robert Baker and Joe Nickell:

“There are no haunted places, only haunted people.”

Saved by its Ancestors

The Algarve region has seen all the cultures beginning with the Lusitanians, Celtics, Romans and Arabs who were forced out of Faro in 1249 by Sancho II. But thanks to the combination of all these people, especially the Arabs, the Algarve province ( http://www.lisbon-and-portugal.com/algarve/algarve-portugal.html ) now has a strong production of olive trees which produce rich olive oil, figs and almonds. It is said that the almond trees were a gift from a Moorish sultan who was in love with a Nordic princess. She dearly missed the snow covered ground in winter and what most resembled that were the almond trees in full bloom in the spring. From this, the Algarve makes a rich dessert from almonds, figs, eggs and sugar called ‘morgados’. And thanks to the dry weather, pears, tomatoes, melons and grapes are among the delicious fruits available year round.

Algarve Wine, A Sweet Caress for Your Lips

Grapes in Portugal are synonymous to wine, and Algarve has quite a variety. The exportation of wine from this region started under the Muslim domain and reached its climax in the 14th and 15th centuries. Lagos, Portimao and Tavira are the principal wine producers.

+ The Algar Dry from Lagos is a dry wine, served very cold for appetizers. The dry and sweet moscatel wines are aged in oak barrels for at least seven years and have about 18% alcohol content.

+ Alfonso III is another dry wine from Lagos and also served very cold.

+ Cruz de Portugal is a smooth red wine which should be served at room temperature for dessert.

+ From Tavira you have Licoroso de Tavira which is very sweet and dark in colour, served at room temperature.

+ Medronho is a type of liquer very well known all over the Algarve region and usually found in the typical ‘tascas’ or taverns and served in glasses from Oporto.

Cute places to see around Portugal

Between Tavira and Castro Marim, one can easily manage a nice beach day in Monte Gordo and a leisurley stroll through the Natural Reserve Park to appreciate the marvellous view of pink flamengos and long-legged storks soaring in and out of sight. For golf lovers, near Albufeira and hidden among pine trees and the shore you will find Villamoura with its campestral fields for playing a relaxing game of golf. Wherever you go in this region, be it on the coast or deep in the forest area, there are all kinds of hotels with great facilities for your stay in Algarve or the capital of Portugal, Lisbon.

Disney films were a staple when I was growing up, and we went to Disneyland in California dozens of times; my greatest ambition in those days was to live at Snow White’s castle! So to say that I am a Disney Fan is a bit of an understatement. When I moved to Florida from the West Coast, I took every opportunity to visit Walt Disney World in Orlando and never tire of the parks. The last four years I lived there, I even had a clerical job for one of the Disney companies, “off property” and though I wasn’t employed in the Park itself, I was thrilled to be small part of the magic.

We moved back to the West Coast and it’s been nearly a decade since I’ve had the chance to go back, so an upcoming anniversary seemed like the perfect excuse to make a trip. I planned, saved, and dreamed of the trip for months anxious for the day we departed surprising my husband who thought we were doing something else. When we arrived at SeaTac, he found out the destination was Orlando, and good naturedly went along for the ride! Since our last few vacations had been fishing trips, this was set to be a very different kind of trip.

After flying all night, we arrived in Orlando around 7:00 a.m. I had been dreaming of pecan waffles for months so we headed straight to The Waffle House, a fixture in the South; thus energized we headed to Walt Disney World to check in our hotel. Since it opened in 1990, I had always been particularly fond of Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club resorts, and we finally were able to stay at the Beach Club! The New England beach theme is charming and relaxing. Since it was early December, the Christmas decorations were all in place and added a unique enchantment to the setting, including a gingerbread carousel.

The hotel was able to allow us early check-in, so we changed and walked to the International Gate at EPCOT, which is near the France pavilion. The morning was bright and warm, and it was blissful to just walk around the grounds soaking up the sun. We spent a couple of hours scoping out what was new since we’d last been there, and enjoyed a couple rides before heading back to the hotel in mid-afternoon. Since we’d been up all night, we slept for a short time, and were refreshed for a simple appetizer dinner at one of the bars – amazing Shrimp cocktails.

The next day we spent most of the day at EPCOT again, taking the time to really explore and enjoy another glorious warm and sunny day. Though there are many familiar exhibits and rides, many have been updated and several new rides awaited our discovery, and everything met our expectations. Mission Space and Test Track were thrilling and exciting and the grounds were especially beautiful, as always!

Since it was our anniversary, we had a special celebration dinner at the Yatchsman Steakhouse, and I even had my first taste of Louis the XIII de Remy Martin cognac. Then we walked back to EPCOT for the nightly Illuminations Fireworks display and then spent the rest of the balmy evening relaxing in the hot tub and going for a swim, with a clear starry sky overhead.

On the 2nd day of our trip, we spent the morning wandering around at Downtown Disney, where we enjoyed lunch at Planet Hollywood, explored the new (to us!) Disney Quest then headed to Disney MGM Studios where we spent the afternoon enjoying the exhilarating Aerosmiths Rockin’ Roller Coaster, the Twilight Zone’s Tower of Terror, favorites like Star Tours, and others. A Christmas-themed parade capped off the afternoon, and we took the water launch back to our hotel where we walked around the grounds again. On the way out of the hotel early that morning, we happen to notice several turtles resting in the sun in one of the ponds on the property, and spent a long time watching them before we started the busy day.

The next day we spent the morning at Magic Kingdom, enjoying Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and Mickey’s Philharmagic, a hilarious 3D movie staring Mickey Mouse and the irrepressible Donald Duck! We then headed to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa where we were booked for a spa treatment. We then enjoyed dinner at Narcoosee’s, nestled right on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon with a perfect view of the Magic Kingdom’s nightly fireworks displays. The Christmas decorations at the Victorian-themed Grand Floridian are meticulous and charming including a life-sized gingerbread house, and even toasty hot roasted chestnuts!

Though this was to be the last of our 4 days at the Walt Disney World Resort, more adventures awaited, as I had also booked a 3 night Disney Cruise to the Bahamas. We spent most of our time at Walt Disney World peacefully enjoying the familiar and exploring the new, and even though we never made it to some of the newer attractions like Animal Kingdom, the Sports Complex, or any of the water parks, we felt like we had done so much, relaxed, and truly enjoyed each day to the fullest!

An Overview of Germany for Travelers

The official name of the country is the Federal Republic of Germany. Germany covers a landmass of over 135,000 square miles and is about the size of the State of Montana. The capital is Berlin with over 3.5 million residents living within the city borders. Other cities of note include, but are not limited to, Hamburg with 1.7 million residents, Munich with over 1.2 million people, Cologne with just under one million residents, Frankfurt with 640,000 residents, Dortmund with 592,000 people, Stuttgart with 580,000 residents, Dusseldorf with about the same number, Bremen with 540,000 people and Hanover with a population just exceeding 500,000 residents. Put another way, Germany crams a lot of people into a relatively small area.

From a terrain perspective, Germany has a bit of everything. The north consists mostly of plains and shoreline, while the center of the country is a fertile basin. The south of the country is primarily mountainous, sharing formations with Switzerland. With this divergent terrain, the climate varies from area to area, but is generally cool with significant periods of rain.

Citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany are known as Germans. The most recent population study found the total population exceeded 82 million. The ethnic break down is primarily German, but Danish minorities exist in the north while Slavic minorities can be found in the south. Despite the policies promulgated by Hitler, the country has a strong influx of immigrants with over 7.3 million people qualifying as such.

From a religious perspective, Germans are split in two major camps. There are approximately 26 million Protestants and 26 million Roman Catholics. Approximately 3.3 million people consider themselves to be Muslim.

The official language of the country is German, although English is spoken in many areas as is Russian and French. Education is compulsory for 10 years and the literacy rate is more than 99 percent. Live expectancy for a German man is 74 years while women live an additional 6 years on average.

As this overview reveals, Germany is the home to a lot of good and bad history. As a travel destination, it is remarkable whether you are going to see history or visiting for the World Cup.

Once in Rome you’ll be amazed by the number of place to see: churches, fountains, palaces and many more. Probably the landmark anyone knows is in Rome is the Colosseum, by its Latin name Amphitheatrum Flavium was once the place where gladiators fought for their lives and to entertain the emperors and crowds.

The churches date back to the 3rd century and probably the whole life is not enough to see them all. The oldest church is San Martino ai Monti. Some churches from the 4th century include: San Marcello al Corso, San Marco, and Santa Pudenziana. The newest church was built in 2003 and is called Dio Padre Misericordioso.

Some very nice places to see are the fountains. Everybody knows about Trevi fountain (Fontana di Trevi), where if you throw a coin in , you are bound to get back to Rome. Other fountains are: Acqua Paola , Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi and Triton Fountain. Also there are some museums that need your attention: The Vatican Museums, The Capitoline Museums – founded in 1471 and Galleria Borghese – houses one of the largest collections in the world. There are a lot of places to stay, from hostels and one star hotels to historical buildings and five stars hotels. For those who are on a budget trip, a hostel is the best place to spend the nights. One of them is Hostel Star Light and it’s located in the city centre, near the Termini station and very close to the Trevi fountain.

Some of the one star hotel include: Hotel Dino – also in the centre of the city, Hotel Gabriele – in the historical center of the city and Hotel Vienesse. For those who want luxury, there are the five stars hotels: Aldrovandi Palace Hotel – close to Via Veneto, Hotel Hassler -near Trinita’ dei Monti Church, to name just two of them.
