Learning something new about history

When thinking about the things that you love to do in your life, you probably end up choosing a few like traveling around the world, watching some amazing movies and listen to some good music… Still, I have another passion: history!

Keeping this in mind, I recently heard about the holodomor and I believe that most of you have never heard about it, right? As a matter of fact, there are many events on the Soviet Union that are historical and which we have never heard about simply because we don’t learn everything at school! Moreover, we often end up noticing that the main reason why they don’t talk about some historical events on school is simply because we aren’t supposed to know too much about them and why could that be? Just follow the link above and discover by yourself…

So, why don’t you take some of your time and learn a bit more about the history of the world and about the Soviet Union in general? I am sure that you will be able to gain a new perspective of life after you read all the information on the website to which I have linked above while also making sure that you increase your knowledge about some of the most important events that ever took place in the world!

A different cruise...

For those lovers of cruises, do you honestly think that there shouldn't be any advances on the next travels and the next programs?

On a seemingly perfect cruise, retirees Sol and Arline Bernstein set sail on a November Mediterranean cruise on Princess Cruises’ Grand Princess. The couple was celebrating Sol’s 80th birthday in grand fashion by touring Europe’s most famous sites from Rome to Istanbul.

But it all came to an unceremonious end after two weeks at sea when bad weather forced Grand Princess to delay docking seven hours at Civitavecchia, Italy — Rome’s homeport. The West Palm Beach, Fla., couple boarded a bus to get them to Rome’s airport. But they arrived too late for their flight home and the Delta Air Lines representative told the couple it would cost them $250 per ticket in transfer fees, plus the fare difference to get on flights the following day. What was the fare difference? A whopping $1,414 per ticket. Tack on several hundred dollars to stay in Rome an extra day and the Bernsteins were looking at over $3,000 in added expenses to their trip.
