Taking the most out of Paris

As you know, Paris is one of the most wanted cities all around the world and surely a great destination for lovers, big families or just everyone else! Keeping this in mind, it is vital that you do your best in order to know which the best spots in the city are and how you can easily take full advantage of the great experiences that you may have there. Below you may read the msnbc.com article just below and get some important tips:

PARIS - Paris is counting on American tourists — and a new law allowing more stores to open on Sundays — to boost tourism revenues pinched by the global financial downturn.

The French capital registered an 11.1-percent drop in foreign visitors in the first half of this year compared with the first half of 2008, according to figures released Wednesday by the Paris Tourism Office.

The number of Americans in Paris — long the largest contingent of foreigners here — dived last year because of U.S. economic woes and the expensive euro. But it started to pick up again, by 1.1 percent, in the second quarter of this year, the tourism office said.

Paul Roll, director of the Paris Tourism Office, said the city is "counting on the Americans" to keep tourism revenues up and compensate for a plunge in visits by British, Japanese and Chinese tourists.

He noted that America's economy was hit early and hard by the financial crisis and is expected to emerge sooner, while other economies were slower to start their slump.

The weak British pound and troubles in Britain's finance-heavy economy have taken their toll on cross-Channel travel: The number of British visitors fell 23.4 percent in the first half of this year.

"The pound is really low now and it's horrible," said Mark Abbott, a 21-year-old medical student from Liverpool, visiting the Champs-Elysees on Wednesday after two days camping in Normandy.

Asians also stayed home. The number of Japanese visitors to Paris fell 25.4 percent and Chinese tourists fell 17.3 percent.

Overall, the number of visitors to the French capital decreased 7.5 percent to 15.9 million in the first half of this year, the tourism office said. It could not provide figures on overall tourism revenues.

Roll also pinned his hopes on a new law that allows more stores to open on Sundays, saying that could keep more tourists in Paris, and France generally, over a full weekend. Currently most French stores are closed Sundays.

While the new law allows more stores in tourist zones to stay open, it is expected to be months before its effects are felt.

The tourism authority predicts an overall decline of 6 percent in the number of visitors to Paris in 2009, including French visitors.

Yet the lure of Paris still keeps people coming.

"You have to see the Eiffel Tower. You hear so much about it and have to see it yourself," said accounting student Kate Rosenow from Victoria, Australia.

Ray and Kathy Kasten, 51, came to Paris from Atlanta to celebrate their youngest child leaving to go to college and their 30th wedding anniversary. "Paris is more expensive than Dublin or London and definitely more than the States," Ray Kasten said — but they're not cutting back on this trip.

And even though U.N. health officials have declared a worldwide swine flu epidemic, French authorities say swine flu will have little effect on tourism revenues.

Jean-Bernard Bros, deputy mayor in charge of tourism at Paris City Hall, said the city has thousands of masks available in museums and monuments and is studying flu prevention measures at key sites like the Eiffel Tower.

"We are ready," Bros said.

France and its overseas territories have reported 10 deaths related to swine flu.

The Italian cuisine

When considering the fact that Italy is one of the favorite destinations of many families, people may wonder why it happens to be a fact... Still, I could personally say that Italian cuisine is definitely one of the best that I have ever had the opportunity to try and I am more than sure that you will definitely love it! So, you should definitely read the msnbc.com article just below and discover how you can enjoy it:

Recently when I was in Tuscany, a region fiercely proud of its beef, I sunk my teeth into a carnivore's dream come true. In a stony cellar, under one long, tough vault, I joined a local crowd for dinner. An open fire in the far back of the vault powered the scene. Flickering in front of the flames was a gurney, upon which lay a huge hunk of beef. Like a blacksmith in hell, Giulio — a lanky man in a T-shirt — hacked at the beef with a cleaver, lopping off a steak every few minutes.

In a kind of mouth-watering tango, he pranced past the boisterous tables of customers, holding a raw slab of beef on butcher's paper like a tray of drinks. Giulio presented the slabs to each table of diners, telling them the weight and price (the minimum was about $40) and getting their OK to cook it. He'd then dance back to the inferno and cook the slab: seven minutes on one side, seven on the other. There's no asking how you'd like it done; this is the way it is done. And about 15 minutes later, you got your steak.

Giulio's place — Osteria dell'Acquacheta" in Montepulciano — was just one of many Italian dining experiences I had on my trip. Afterward, I came up with some theories about eating out in Italy:

While I've never liked putting up with TV noise when grabbing a simple meal in Italy, I now realize that when an eatery has the TV playing, it's often because it's where the local workers drop by to eat ... and that indicates a low price and a good value.

Beware of cheap eateries that sport big color photos of pizza and piles of different pastas. They have no kitchens and simply microwave disgusting, prepackaged food. Unless you like lasagna with ice in the center, avoid these.

Some restaurants have self-serve antipasti buffets, offering a variety of cooked appetizers spread out like a salad bar (pay per plate, not weight; usually costs about $11). A plate of antipasti combined with a pasta dish makes a healthy, affordable, interesting meal.

An "enoteca" (wine bar) is a popular, fast, and inexpensive option for lunch. Surrounded by the city's office crowd, you can get a fancy salad, plate of meats and cheeses, and a glass of fine wine (check the blackboard for the day's selection and price per glass — and go for the top end). Some of my favorite Italian eating experiences have been at wine bars.

Italy's no-smoking rules are working, but they've caused some bars to stop serving drinks earlier than before the ban went into effect. Now that bars have to be smoke-free, young drinkers who want a cigarette take their drinks outside. Their noise disturbs the neighbors — who didn't hear the action back when people stayed (and smoked) inside. In Italy, when neighbors complain, bars comply.Restaurants parked on famous squares generally serve bad food at high prices to tourists. Locals eat better at lower-rent locales. Family-run places operate without hired help and can offer cheaper meals. Good restaurants don't open for dinner before 7 p.m.

While I pride myself in not needing to dress up to enjoy a good restaurant, there is a limit. I was in a restaurant recently where a couple of American travelers made me get my notebook out and jot down, "Even in a modest trattoria, shorts and T-shirts look goofy at dinner."

I've realized I should stay away from restaurants famous for inventing a pasta dish. Alfredo (of fettuccini fame) and Carbonara (of penne fame) are both Roman restaurants — and they're both much more famous than they are good.

One of my favorite Italian specialties isn't even on the menu — the conversations with other customers. In Rome, I talked about dessert with a man at a nearby table. He told me how his grandfather always said, in the local dialect, "The mouth cannot be finished until it smells of cows." The rustic foodie meant you must finish the meal with cheese.

"La vita e bella" ... life is good in Italy. And the good life seems, like the cuisine, simple. Locals are really into the "marriage" of correct foods. An older wine needs a stronger cheese. Only a tourist would pull the fat off the prosciutto.

To me, Italian cuisine is a symphony — the ingredients are the instruments. The quality is important ... but even good instruments can be out of tune. The marriage of the ingredients is what provides the tonality. When things are in tune, you taste it.

Airlines still expanding WI-FI services

As I have recently mentioned, Internet and computers really play a vital role in our daily life as employees but also as individuals who really need the Internet to get the things we love! Keeping this in mind, it is normal that airlines are already trying to make a major effort to spread the WI-FI services for every plane as you may discover by reading the msnbc.com article just below:

"

DALLAS - Southwest Airlines Co. says it's finished testing Wi-Fi Internet access on four aircraft and plans to expand the service to all its planes beginning early next year.

The airline said Friday that the test has generated raves among passengers.

Southwest said it would continue testing prices for the service through the end of the year.

Dave Ridley, the discount carrier's senior vice president of marketing, said the company is happy with the technical performance of the in-flight service and the response of customers.

During the test, passengers have used the service for e-mail, streaming video and other content using laptop computers and smart phones.

Southwest uses satellite-based broadband access provided by Row 44. Other carriers, including Delta and American, that are farther along in outfitting planes with Wi-Fi service use another service from Aircell.

Southwest did not indicate how quickly it would outfit its fleet, which numbers more than 500 planes, but Row 44 President Gregg Fialcowitz said his company could do the work in 12 months.

Fialcowitz said that the percentage of passengers who used the service for free on test flights by Southwest and another customer, Alaska Airlines, was in the mid-20s but soared as high as 70 to 80 percent on some routes, such as between San Francisco and Seattle.

Demand among leisure travelers was just as strong as among business travelers, he said.

Southwest and Alaska will set the fees paid by passengers and keep all the revenue after paying a fee to Row 44, Fialcowitz said.

The importance of remote access to our computer

Even when I am on holidays, the truth is that my company always requires me to do something extra about the development of the services, making it absolutely mandatory that I keep in touch with the other professionals even when I am in Europe trying to relax!

Shoulder season: discover this new concept

If you take a moment to relax and think about travels, you will easily conclude that you can count with both the low and high season with the respective prices... Still, is there any other season in the middle? How about the prices in that season? Can we find the perfect opportunity in that season? If you would like to find a surprising answer to these questions, then you definitely need to read the msnbc.com article just below:

By Sean O'Neill

Shoulder season doesn't fall at the same time everywhere, but if you time your visits right, you can see some of the world's greatest places for a fraction of the price.

SEPTEMBER

Denali National Park, Alaska
After Labor Day, foliage thins out, making it easier to view caribou, moose and bears as they live it up before winter's chill returns in October. The National Park Service stops running its shuttles mid-month, but visitors can still access many park roads by private car.

Cape Cod, Mass.
By mid-September, a timeworn cliché comes true: The coast is clear. And it's still warm enough to explore the area's sand dunes. On weekends, B&Bs don't so much drop their prices as pile on the free perks.

Southern Caribbean
Lying outside the hurricane belt, these islands (including Aruba and Bonaire) deliver tranquil weather that's only a few degrees hotter in September than during the rest of the year.

Iceland
Chilly temperatures in the upper 40s during the day don't put an end to whale-watching tours, glacier hikes and dips in hot thermal springs; the only difference from the warmer summer (other than reduced museum hours) is that large group tours are replaced with intimate outings. Weekend hotel rates in Reykjavík drop by about 15 percent.

Marrakech
In September, demand for the traditional riad (a courtyard home turned into a hotel) is below its December crest, when the Europeans swarm in. Expect hotel discounts of up to 50 percent and sunny days with an average high of 90 degrees.

Cape Town
One of the world's prettiest cities shows off its seaside views in September, a great time for whale-watching. Hotels and inns are historically only 60 percent full, prompting hoteliers to unveil deep discounts.

OCTOBER

Nova Scotia
Fall-foliage season peaks in October, later than in parts of New England. Lodging here is also a better value than in high-season Vermont, partly because of an exchange rate favorable to American visitors.

London
As leaves fall in London's parks, so do hotel prices citywide. Tourist sites are less crowded in October, so you'll have some breathing room in museums such as the Tate Modern. British Airways traditionally runs sales with fares discounted roughly one-third off summer prices. Temperatures tend to hover in the upper 50s; as always, pack a brolly in case of rain.

Greek islands
The European college kids return to their home countries by October, yet the sea retains its summer warmth. Hotels, inns and ferries generally charge 20 percent less than peak-season rates.

NOVEMBER

Colorado ski country
Most ski resorts reopen in November, but skiers generally don't arrive until the week of Christmas. To get customers onto the lifts, resorts run promotions such as free ski passes for children when parents buy their own. Tip: Breckenridge Mountain Lodge is offering starting rates of $43 a night — 43 percent off regular-season rates.

Costa Rica
The average November rainfall of six inches is half the level of September and October, but tourists haven't yet arrived in droves for winter surfing and zip lining.

Buenos Aires
The jacarandas bloom with lavender-blue flowers in November. But 23 percent fewer Americans fly to the Argentine capital this month than in December, resulting in a lower demand for tickets. Fares from New York City are about $100 cheaper now than in December.

Paris
The City of Light is always buzzing, but its convention business slows down in November. Airfares and hotel prices plunge. In 2008, the average air/hotel package price booked via Expedia for November was half the average for April. Scattered showers are typical, but much of Paris's charm is indoors, anyway — in its cafés, galleries and boutiques.

Thailand's Andaman Coast
The wet season is winding down. If you don't mind occasional showers, you'll enjoy verdant foliage and clear water for diving and snorkeling. Hotels slash their rates by about 50 percent compared with the peak winter (dry season) prices.

Beijing
International visits drop about 20 percent from their summer highs by November, and prices fall, too. Average temperatures climb into the 50s, but things stay pretty dry. Friendly Planet Travel sells an eight-night escorted-tour package with airfare for $1,199 per person this month — $400 less than in July.

Finding the best term life insurance for our personal needs

Amongst all the important contracts and services that any business or company must get, I would personally emphasis the vital role played by term life insurance rates in our lives as employees. As a matter of fact, with such a wide range of companies offering term life insurance services in the market, it is extremely important that we compare all the services provided by them and try to match them with our personal needs.

Keeping this in mind, I believe that the website above will really come in handy for us as we are able to compare the services and rates provided by most insurance companies, making it possible for us to find the ideal service.

Memories at WTC center

When considering the impact of the event that is shown on the photo above, I would personally say that thousands of people were directly affected by it, making it absolutely mandatory that we also do something about it! In fact, as you may discover by reading the msnbc.com article just below, it is now possible for us to go there and see how others are still trying to share their emotions around this major event:

NEW YORK - Tourists coming to ground zero to see the Sept. 11 memorial often peer through a fenced-off construction site for a glimpse and ask street vendors when it will be built.

It will be at least two years before the memorial to the 2001 terrorist attacks opens to the public. But in an old camera shop northeast of the World Trade Center site, visitors will be able to watch live video of the construction, record their 9/11 memories and even leave with a souvenir.

The foundation that will run the finished memorial and museum built the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site, hoping to attract the hundreds of thousands of tourists a year who come to ground zero looking for a 9/11 story and finding a giant construction site. The Tribute WTC Visitor Center, a small gallery on the south side of the site, charges $10 admission and says it brings in 300,000 tourists a year.

It won't cost anything to get into the preview site, although the foundation will sell memorabilia, including 9/11 memorial pins, books and DVDs, to raise money for the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

The foundation also wants to present an alternative to stories tourists hear on the street about the plans for the site, president Joseph Daniels said.

"Every single day, I'm walking by these guys who are selling the flip books to tourists," Daniels said. "These tourists are asking questions about what's getting built. ... We see a tremendous interest in what's happening here."

The 3,000-square-foot (280-sq. meter) space will feature models and renderings of "Reflecting Absence," the design for twin reflecting pools with cascading waterfalls where the trade center towers had stood, surrounded by nearly 3,000 victims' names.

Live webcam video of the construction will be displayed on a giant screen. In a recording booth, visitors will be able to speak for 3 minutes about where they were, and what they remember of Sept. 11, 2001. The recordings — visitors can share their stories in any language — will enter the permanent collection of the 9/11 museum and become part of an introductory exhibit.

Laurie Arrow, an Auckland, New Zealand, tourist who peered into the site on Liberty Street, said he'd like to record his 9/11 story.

"I was due to fly to America the day after," he said. "It never happened."

Arrow was surprised to see the level of construction activity at the site. "There's quite a lot of activity going on."

Builders say the first skyscraper will be completed by 2013; a transit hub, the memorial and a second tower are under construction.

Although the site will focus on the memorial plans, there will be renderings of the office towers and transit hub as well. A few pieces from the museum's permanent collection also will be on display, including a 7-foot (2.13-meter) Statue of Liberty covered with photos, dried flowers and 9/11 condolence cards that stood for months outside a midtown Manhattan firehouse after the attacks.

The Starr International Foundation, a Swiss charity that has donated $1 million previously to the foundation, donated $600,000 to build the preview site.

More than $350 million has been raised privately for the 8-acre memorial, which would set the waterfall-filled pools in a cobblestoned, tree-covered plaza.

Builders said the memorial will open to the public on the attacks' 10th anniversary, although some parts of the aboveground plaza won't be finished. The museum, being built underneath the memorial, is slated to open a year later.
