			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>spent my summers by the sea. Always, a beach, a dock and a longing to be out in a boat followed me each successive summer as I joined family and friends at our family vacation home in Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard or later, the Jersey Shore.</p>
<p>My grandmother used to belong to the Chappaquiddick Beach Club, and one of the swell things about this club is the big dock that allowed members to come over to the club by small boat. </p>
<p>I sat on that dock for hours, watching with envy the Boston Whalers and other small motorcraft that zipped in and out, piloted by grinning young men or bikini-clad teen girls. Oh how I wanted to be in that driver’s seat. </p>
<p>Fast forward 35 years, and I’m waking up after spending the night on the bridge of a 42’ Krogen trawler yacht owned by the friends of a friend. When my pal Jack asked me if I’d like to rendezvous with Denny and Laraine and spend a few days on their boat off the coast of Chappaquiddick, it didn’t take me a second to say yes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.londonparistraintickets.co.uk/eurostar-train.html">Eurostar</a> schedules 17 London to Paris trains and eleven London to Brussels services.  It has six non-stop direct services between the two cities, eight on Fridays &amp; three non-stops London to Brussels services. Eurostar most famous product is <a href="http://www.londonparistraintickets.co.uk/eurostar-city-breaks.html">Eurostar Weekend Breaks</a><a></a> to European cities.<br />
<img class="alignleft" title="Eurostar" src="http://travelcitybreaks.co.uk/EurostarTrain.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="311" />In addition, special trains are operated on a limited direct service such as a daily Eurostar direct run between London to Disneyland Paris terminating at the Mame-laValee-Chessy rail station. It also operates special train services to serve southern French destinations at certain times of the year.  These seasonal round-trip services include a weekly London to Ashford to Avignon service from July to September and weekly twice [snow train] during the winter months to serve holiday skiers to Bour St. Maurice, AimelaPlagne and Moutiers in French Alps.  The regular terminating stations in France become intermediate stations like Calais-Frethun &amp; Lille-Europe.<br />
Eurostar’s early years understandably were significantly higher than what they are today, with the cheapest fare at ₤99.  By 2003, the cheapest fare between London to Paris or Brussels one way was at ₤50 available al throughout the year.  In June 2009, the cheapest was at ₤31.<br />
Travel through the channel tunnel has given stiff competition with airlines serving the UK and continental Europe, particularly in the London-Paris-Brussels route prompting fares to go down.  Today, there are more passengers carried by Eurostar than all the airlines serving that route combined.  It also features business premiere class just like airlines do with fares that have likewise gone down, though not as much.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>London and Paris has never been closer than today with the channel tunnel connecting the two countries through what is considered as one of the finest engineering marvels of the modern world. Borrowed through the waters of the English Channel, the 50.5 km tunnel is owned by Eurotunnel and rivals with Eurostar as the main high speed passenger rail service that brings people of London to continental Europe and continental Europeans to the UK via France. You can get <a href="http://www.londontoparistrain.co.uk/cheap-eurostar-tickets.html">Eurostar tickets cheap</a> online if you book your journey early.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Eurotrain" src="http://capitalstyle.co.uk/parisbreaks/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/eurostardeals-train.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="334" />With speed of up to 300kph (186 mph), Eurostar’s 394-meter long 18 luxury coach trains start and end at various points in Belgium and France to points in London.  The main Eurostar direct services operate between the train terminal at St. Pancras International Rail station in London with direct feeder points from Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International rail stations in Kent to the Paris terminal at Gare du Nord with feed points from Calais-Frethun and Lille-Europe rail stations in France. Direct services from London also terminate in Belgium at the Midi/Zud rail station in Brussels. There are many good <a href="http://www.londonbrusselstrain.com/eurostar-deals.html">Eurostar deals to Brussels</a> that you can enjoy.</p>
<p>Eurostar is preferred over flights, ferries or buses as it is faster, economical and comfortable than all these travel options.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.congresstour.cl/destinos/ciudades/10-costa-do-sauipe-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="291" /></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Costa Do Sauipe holidays are becoming more and more popular as people are travelling further afield for their holidays. Located in the state of Bahia, this purpose built resort lies just north of Salvador, and offers one of the most exciting tourist resorts in South America. Create a picture of paradise in your head and you are probably looking at Costa Do Sauipe. Miles of golden sandy beaches, coconut trees swaying in the breeze, azure blue skies, aqua blue sea, all surrounded by lush green tropical rain forests. Fresh water streams flow gently into the sea and naturally formed swimming pools create an oasis amongst the stunning sand dunes.</span></h2>
<p>Costa Do Sauipe is part of an environmentally protected area (EPA) so the natural surroundings here are stunning, ecological excursions are organized out into the mangrove forests, woodlands, along rivers and over the sand dunes to encourage visitors to appreciate the beauty of this region and promote the ongoing efforts to keep it this way. One of the most amazing conservation efforts is the Tamar Project, it was discovered during the early 1980&#8242;s that turtles in this region were nearly extinct, but now, thanks to the Tamar Project raising local awareness and protecting feeding and breeding sites, more than 2 million baby turtles have been born in this area.</p>
<p><span id="more-1142"></span></p>
<h2>Water Sports, Golf, Safaris And Shopping&#8230;</h2>
<p>Lying south of the equator does mean that holidays in Costa Do Sauipe during peak season can be interrupted by rain, this is however far outweighed by the scorching sunshine and is one of the reasons this area stays so lush and beautiful. Temperatures of 30 to 35c between November and April make this a spectacular winter destination. Facilities in Costa Do Sauipe are also second to none, water sports are exceptionally popular and surfing competitions are held here every year but don&#8217;t worry if you aren&#8217;t that experienced, there are lessons available for all abilities. Canoeing, kayaking and catamaran sailing are also available on the huge artificial lake. The local golf course has 18 holes of championship quality greens, a huge driving range and lessons available form professional golfers, the views are worth having a round alone, with every hole offering a breathtaking vision of the panoramic scenery.</p>
<p>Safari adventures can be organised with guided tours of tropical rain forests or mangrove swamps letting you get closer to nature or take a night trip to observe the fascinating turtles. No holidays to Costa do Sauipe would be complete without a trip into the party city of Salvador, shopping, nightlife and restaurants are all top attractions in this city and if you are lucky you may time your visit with a spectacular festival. The music here is legendary with street music on every corner, and colourful markets offer ceramics, jewellery, and hand crafted goods to buy.</p>
<h2>Relax In Fashionable And Chic Accommodation&#8230;</h2>
<p>Accommodation on holidays to Costa Do Sauipe is very fashionable and chic, and ranges from modern luxurious hotels to themed guesthouses. Facilities and entertainment are high on every agenda with many properties offering children&#8217;s clubs. Nightlife also revolves around the hotels with excellent entertainment packages included. The village area known as Vila Nova da Praia is extremely popular and is designed like an old colonial village, restaurants and bars spill over into the streets, shops offer hand made wares and souvenirs. Health and beauty are widely promoted in Costa Do Sauipe; you can book excursions to experience aromatherapy and thalassotherapy treatments, join in yoga classes or even have your tarot cards read. The locals are very keen for you to enjoy your stay here and want you to relax not just your body but also your mind and soul.</p>
<p>If a stunning climate, extraordinary natural beauty, excellent facilities and luxurious accommodation are all on your wish list then it is about to be granted&#8230; book your Costa do Sauipe holidays at <a href="http://www.latedeals.co.uk/" target="_blank">Late Deals</a> now and get your magic wand ready!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boston stands proud as the birthplace of the American Revolution and the present day hotbed of art, education and culture. For baseball fans, the city offers a taste of Red Sox history at Fenway Park. </p>
<p>With so much to see and do, we set off early in an effort to reach Boston by 9 a.m. Our primary intention was to walk along Boston’s scenic harborwalk, which has been constructed to provide easy access to the Harbor and connect the waterfront neighborhoods. Some parts of it are still undergoing extension.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canada has always remained a mystery to me. It is rarely mentioned in politics, history or just in good old banter. Kind of like the quiet kid who sits in the back of the class that you suddenly find so alluring. </p>
<p>My Aunt invited me to stay with her at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal for a few days while she attended a convention. I figured this was a true opportunity to dig down as deep as I could to answer the question that has been haunting me: What is it with Canada?</p>
<p>I awoke bright and early to meet Claire-Marie Lavoie, a tour guide from the Infotouriste Centre who would be showing me around the best parts of the city via van.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While visiting Port Douglas, Australia, you will realize the true meaning of heaven on earth.  You will experience relaxation, like never before with the wonderfully breath taking rainforests and coral seas.  Port Douglas is only an hours drive from Cairns airport.  It originally came to be as a means to service the goldfields.  </p>
<p>Port Douglas was named after the Queensland Premier, John Douglas, in 1877.  Originally it was used to transport gold in exchange for supplies.  Gold mining was Port Douglas&#8217; sole source of wealth for many years.  In later years silver, sugar can and red cedar also made it&#8217;s contribution to the Ports wealth.  However in 1911 there was a decline in gold and silver mining, and the Port began to fade, until it was hit by a cyclone, which turned Port Douglas in a wonderful fishing village.</p>
<p>There are many ways for you to take a further look into the history of Port Douglas.  The Mossman Sugar mill will give you a first hand experience of the sugar milling process, and the Cooktowns Discovery Festival, every June, shows a re-enactment of the settling of Lt. James Cook in 1770.  The Cooktown festival is an elaborate celebration with authentic costumes, gala ball, fire works and bull riding.</p>
<p>There are a variety of Port Douglas accommodation, to suit the needs of all travelers.  There are five start accommodations for those that are looking for luxurious hotels or private homes.  For a modest price accommodation, Port Douglas offers condominiums, villas, motels and apartments.  If you are someone looking for adventure you can stay at the rainforest lodges, or caravan parks.</p>
<p>Port Douglas is also an area where there is something for everyone.  You can spend the day at Four Mile Beach and enjoying fishing snorkeling and swimming.  Head down to Macrossan Street for an afternoon of shopping, dining and an evening of fun in the dark.  There are also 12 nearby beaches that you can visit, in local towns.</p>

<p><span><a href="http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/intelligenttravel/crisfield%20crab.html"><img src="http://amazoniabike.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/58d14_crisfield%20crab-thumb-500x375.jpg" alt="crisfield crab.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0pt auto 20px; text-align: center; display: block;" height="375" width="500" /></a></span>Every year on Labor Day weekend, the seaside town of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisfield,_Maryland">Crisfield</a>, Maryland holds its <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMjkwjoX_mo">Annual Hard Crab Derby and Fair</a>. This quaint village of 2,800 on the Chesapeake Bay has a long tradition of catching &#8211; and racing &#8211; its seafood. The festival is a celebration of the town&#8217;s fishing heritage, particularly of the abundant (and delicious!) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_crab">blue crabs</a> that teem in the bay&#8217;s waters.</p>
<p>Here, you can <a href="http://crisfieldnews.blogspot.com/2009/08/crisfields-62nd-annual-hard-crab-derby.html">watch a parade on Main Street</a>, a boat docking contest, a crab picking contest, and the crowning of the beautiful Miss Crustacean. But the main attraction of the festival is its namesake &#8220;crab derby,&#8221; in which hundreds of crabs scramble down a chute to the finish line in a knock-down, drag-out race (okay, so the crabs aren&#8217;t even aware of the race). The bets &#8211; and the crowd&#8217;s enthusiasm &#8211; get intense. Afterward, nothing beats finishing off a fresh, all-you-can-eat crab platter while taking in views of the bay at the Side Street Seafood Market and Restaurant. If you&#8217;re hardy enough, you can top it off with a generous slice of <a href="http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/intelligenttravel/2008/08/smith-island-bake-sail.html">Smith Island cake</a>.</p>
<p>The best way to enjoy the festival is by renting a campsite in nearby <a href="http://www.dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/eastern/janesisland.html">Jane&#8217;s Island State Park</a>, which boasts 3,100 acres of Eastern Maryland&#8217;s prettiest shoreline. When you need a break from the festivities, quiet beach hikes and kayak trails await you in the park. So grab some friends, a tent, and a healthy appetite for crab and you&#8217;ve got one <i>shell</i> of a Labor Day weekend. &nbsp; </p>
