Visiting Dublin, Ireland
by: Fionnuala Downhill
"In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty I first laid my eyes on sweet Molly Malone. She wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow, singing cockles and mussels, alive a live O."
Dublin on the East Coast of Ireland has come a long way since Molly Malone was immortalized in the famous song and has now become a statue close to the Main shopping area of Grafton Street. Erected to commemorate Dublin's own millennium, a statue of Molly Malone pensively stares at passers-by on the southern end of Grafton Street. Ever ready for a comic put-down, Dubliners immediately christened the well-endowed Molly "the tart with the cart."
Dublin is now one of Europe's premier locations. Ireland in general has embraced the common European community but is still quintessentially Irish. Whether you visit Dublin for business or pleasure make some time to explore this wonderful city. It is both modern and energetic with its old traditions are all around.
Dublin's coastline, wild willful and rugged, can be explored by bus or train journey from the City Centre. The Irish people's Celtic heritage thrives in their creative spirit and love of music. The pubs around Dublin are full of life and everywhere you go you will experience the warmth, charm and gentle humor of the inhabitants of this tiny land with a turbulent history.
Dublin founded in the 9th Century by the Vikings is split in two by the River Liffey and hosts great rivalry between the inhabitants on both sides of the river. The two main bridges are O'Connell Bridge and the Ha'penny Bridge, so called because of the toll which used to be charged to cross it. O'Connell Bridge takes you to O'Connell Street home of the historic General Post Office, the first building to fly the Irish flag during the Easter Rebellion of 1916. The National Gallery of Ireland is one of the finest in Europe with one whole exhibit devoted to the works of J.B. Yeats brother of the poet W.B. Yeats. Take a stroll round St. Stephens Green before heading to Grafton Street one of Dublin's most stylish shopping streets. Grafton Street is home to street artists and musicians and has a wonderful atmosphere.
Take some time to visit Trinity College, the oldest university in Western Europe founded in 1592. The university houses the Long Room home to the Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is one of Dublin's most popular and significant visitor attractions. Dating back to around 800AD, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful religious manuscripts in the world. Written on vellum, it contains a Latin text of the four gospels in script accompanied by whole pages of detailed illustration. The book has been on display since the 19th century and has the dubious honor of having been defaced by Queen Victoria. A decorated page and a page of script can normally be seen when you visit.
The library contains busts of some of its most famous scholars many of them writers and intellectuals. One of its most famous students was Jonathon Swift who wrote "Gulliver's Travels". Swift later went on to become Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral another must visit on your list. St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in the 12th Century and beautifully restored with money provided by the Guinness Family one of Ireland's most famous families.
The Guinness brewery was founded in 1759 by Arthur Guinness and is now the largest brewery in the World. No visit to Dublin would be complete without tasting the "black stuff" first hand. To many, Guinness is one of the most important features of Ireland. With 300 million pints exported every year, it is no surprise to learn that Ireland is the world's leading beer exporter. Completed at the cost of IR30 million, the Guinness Storehouse is a fine addition to Dublin's ever-growing list of purpose-built attractions. Set inside a converted 18th century fermentation building, it comprises of six floors linked by a giant atrium in the shape of a pint glass. Although the actual brewery is not open to the public, the storehouse's new exhibition space outlines the 200-year history of the company and reveals many brewing secrets. The models and displays of the exhibition are followed by a short film and a glass of the famous brew.
If your schedule allows there are some interesting day trips which you can take from Dublin. To the North West is the Boyne Valley. There is historical evidence in this area dating back to 6000 B.C. New Grange passage is said to be the oldest man made structure in the world dating to 3000 B.C. The Wicklow Mountains to the south of Dublin are sparsely populated and enjoy a slow pace of life. The monastic settlement of Glendalough in the middle of the valley dates to the 6th Century.
Founded by St. Kevin this is a powerful, peaceful, beautiful place and well worth a visit. You can take a trip to the Curragh of Kildare for a flutter on the horses. The Curragh consists of 4000 acres and is home to over 60 race horse trainers. It has produced some of the most expensive race horses in the world with prices running into 7 figures.
All in all you will have a wonderful and energetic time in Dublin. Be prepared to walk as it is very easy to get around on foot. And you will need to walk off those Irish breakfasts, with bacon, sausage, black and white pudding, eggs, soda bread and pots of delicious Irish tea. Hmmm!!!.....
"Go N'eirigh an bother leat" and have a wonderful time in the Capital of the Emerald Isle.

Airfare for the Wayfarer
by: Frederic Madore
Have you checked the price of airfare lately? Are you like myself, and quite afraid to contemplate that youre going to spend that inheritance from Aunt Tilley on a flight to LA? For the general public, air travel is still an occasional event, and airfare is still comparable to a surprise attack of influenza.
We all will agree that air travel is much nicer than the open road (and faster), when youre in a hurry info">and in a compact car. Airfare, however, is not the pleasant experience that air travel is. Airfare, once youre past the sticker shock, is a confusing subject. The prospective traveler can go online, and check for cheap, discounted airfare, on several websites that are independent of any airline sponsorship. What you will find is a confusing list of possible flights, possible fares, and a message that alerts you to hurry to book at these discounted prices. At this point, I generally long for a course in Airfare 101.
Okay, everyone heres your Basic Instruction class. There are roundtrip tickets, last minute tickets, discounted and bargain tickets. First class, coach, and business tickets; Oh yes, and lets not forget, the International airfare tickets. Those are the tickets that come with nitroglycerin tablets as a complimentary gift.
Roundtrip airfare refers to flight purchases that allow you to go to and from your destination on just one ticket. This is the most desired form of travel, and quite frankly, often the cheapest. Last minute airfare can cause nosebleeds. The tickets can be purchased online, but only after you mortgage the farm, and promise your next child to Delta. Low cost, bargain, and discounted airfare is usually available thru websites like Cheap Seats, Priceline.com, and VacationsToGo.com. The prices are often a great deal, if you dont mind the occasional bump when too many seats are booked, or you can plan and purchase 2 years in advance. The classification of business, first class, or coach tickets would refer to your seating accommodations on the aircraft. The most desired seating would be the first class section. Here, seats are big, roomy, and stuffed with the softest feathers on the market. Wine, cocktails, and a great meal are often standard fare on flights offering first class seating. Coming back to reality, however, there is business or coach for the rest of us citizenry who must actually purchase our own tickets.
Lately, with all the bad publicity that international tourism has been receiving (thanks to the terrorists), international airfare has seen modest decreases. Of course, really wonderful destinations like Paris, Rome, and London are still purchased with the complimentary nitroglycerin tablets.
As a seasoned traveler, I can promise you that even with this highly educational course, you wont be any clearer about what you need, when you need it, as you purchase your next airfare. You will never be able to pin the airlines down as to their exact formula for pricing options, mostly because they dont have one. The last lesson in Airfare 101: As you prepare to purchase your next airline tickets, you can throw out all the rules and formulas, close your eyes, and just pick one!

The Ancient City of Segovia
by: Jakob Jelling
Segovia, located near Madrid, is an antique city, very rich in past and traditions and full of interesting historic spots and amazing constructions. Segovia is one of the most interesting spots of the region to those who enjoy learning about culture, traditions, info">and history while visiting a city. This city is not only one of the most famous and interesting in Spain, but also in the entire Europe.
The origins of Segovia date from the Celtics poque when it was a Celtic settlement. After its Celtic period, Segovia was inhabited by Romans, who conquered it and ruled the city for an important period of time. This way, it is not difficult to imagine the great amount of interesting events and scenes this town has seen and lived and the stories its buildings can tell.
One of the most interesting and characteristic elements of Segovia is its aqueduct. The aqueduct of Segovia was constructed more than 2000 years ago by the Romans, and to the date it still maintains its structure in perfect conditions and is been able to deliver potable water to the city for centuries despite of the great amount of natural obstacles it has lived, such as earthquakes or hurricanes.
The aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most impressing pieces of engineering of not only Spain but the entire world as well. This aqueduct is not only amazing due to the way in which it has been able to function properly through thousands of years, but also to the fact that it has been constructed in such a way that its stone blocks are united by perfect equilibrium rather than concrete or any other similar element.
Segovia is also world wide famous due to the fact that it is one of the cities which has more Roman Churches in Europe. Besides these churches, this city also has a great amount of other constructions dating from several different poques and showing a variety of architectonic styles in such a way that any tourist who enjoys architecture should not miss visiting this spot while being in Spain.

Three Towns of Mijas
by: Jakob Jelling
Mijas is more like three towns than one: Mijas Pueblo has the character of one of the Andalucian Pueblos Blancos, high in the mountains and whitewashed. Las Lagunas is the modern and commercial section of the town. And Mijas Costa is really a twelve-kilometer long stretch of villages down the coast. All three areas are governed from the town hall of Mijas.
Also throughout the winter and spring months, the Hipodromo Costa del Sol has weekly horseracing on Sunday mornings (Saturday evenings during summer months). As well as watching the horses, you can eat at the restaurants and bars located here, or take classes on horse riding and other equestrian themes.
Mijas Costa
Mijas Costa is composed of El Chaparral, La Cala, El Combo, Calahonda, Riviera del Sol and Sitio de Calahonda. Right down the street from the quaint medieval Mijas Pueblo, Mijas Costa is very modern indeed. You can rent vacation properties ranging from beachfront studios to major villas, or you can stay in hotels convenient to the beach. And wherever you stay, you'll have wide access to water sports from just swimming and soaking up sunlight to jet skiing, wakeboarding and surfing, windsurfing, and boating.
Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol are each large villages by themselves with all the amenities: supermarkets, golf courses, bars, restaurants, hotels, and shopping districts. It's easy for English speaking tourists to find what they want here; this part of Mijos caters to tourists.
At the center of Mijas Costa is La Cala, which still has some of the quaintness of the traditional seaside Andalucian village. It was once a fishing village, and today still maintains a street market on Wednesday and Saturday with everything from flowers and plants to fresh produce to ceramics and locally-produced clothing. Try some of the traditional local sherries and wines here. On Saturday nights in July and August, you'll find classical music and flamenco dancing throughout the promenade as the village celebrates Noches de Luna y Playa.
Mijas Pueblo
At the top of the quaint white village of Mijas you'll find fortress walls, gardens, and excellent vantage points as you wind through narrow cobbled alleys and streets. Artists and writers from everywhere have chosen to settle here in Mijas Pueblos. The town has retained most of its traditional Way of life, celebrating festivities with vigor and facing life in a laid-back manner. You'll find wonderful crafts including handmade pottery and paintings by acclaimed artists who live locally. Instead of the usual tourist trash, you could bring home a memento of your trip that, years down the way, turns out to be a sound investment. An open theater is built into the fortress walls; this is a center of the village, where theatrical festivals and other entertainments are held.
Approaching Mijas Pueblo, you'll see a small white building high above the village. This is the shrine of Calvario, a place of worship visited by Carmelite monks for reflection and contemplation. If you want to visit, there's a path to it through the trees, marked with iron crosses. The view is remarkable, a panorama of coastline, sea, and mountain on both sides of the sea.
The Virgin of the Rock on the Paseo El Compas is a shrine to the patron saint of Mijas, and it's set right into the rock. There is also the Church of the Immaculate Conception built on the ruins of an old Moorish castle, and using one of the old Moorish towers as the church bell tower. Pillars supporting the three naves of the old building sport frescoes depicting the Apostles dating from 1632. The San Sebastian Church is one of the most-photographed parts of the Costa del Sol because of the beauty of its setting. And the Shrine of Our Lady of Los Remedios has retained its simplicity, becoming a shrine to the old village way of life as well as to the Virgin.
You'll also find several museums here, including the Bull Fighting Museum and the Museum of Miniatures, which holds stuffed dressed fleas among other miniature and miniaturized items. The Paseo de las Murallas, the local bullring, is yet another part of Andalucian culture.
A unique pleasure is the Mijas donkey taxi service; you can ride a donkey, a donkey and trap, or a coach pulled by horses. It's a particularly authentic way to see Mijas.
If none of this is to your taste, then maybe the fact that Mijas is a golfing paradisw will be. There are several world-class courses in this area, with a perfect year-round climate for golfing and high recommendations from many pros. Nowhere in the area are you more than a few minutes' drive away from an excellent golf course. If you don't know golf well, there are also several renowned golfing schools in the area. In addition to the courses, several world-class hotels have been built in the area to cater to the golfing traffic.

The Real Australia
by: Cusion Delause
Australian vacations are great for extended holidays and summer fun particularly if you like the warmer weather. In fact, since Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere a hot summer in the United States will be a nice winter in the land down under. You might even think about taking an Australia cruise during this time of year. Take your swim suit, your sun cream and your spending money and you will bve all set for the trip of a lifetime.
When you first decide on taking an Australian holiday you will probably run into a challenge trying to decide where to go because the options are simply endless. There are so many great places to visit such as Sydney - the home of the Harbour Bridge, Melbourne - the home of AFL, Adelaide - teh City of Fine Wine and Alice Springs - the home of Ayers Rock. Don't get discouraged because you might be able to do more than you think since you will certainly be able to book cheap airline flights within Australia to get around the country while you are there.
Australian vacations offer something for everyone no matter where you end up traveling in the country. Sydney will enhance your sense of culture. Be sure and visit the Opera House. Melbourne is an extremely cosmopolitan city full of jumping clubs and great restaurants.
Other Australian vacations can take you into the outback where you can see the real Australia that you have only seen on television. The Aborigines live throughout the country too and have a culture well worth discovering. If you can take as much as a month in Australia then you will have the chance to really enjoy the experience. Nothing less than two weeks will do for your first trip to this diverse country.
