Best of Florida, 2005 While taking a look back at 2005, I've discovered some really good reasons to visit Florida. Besides the obvious — plenty of sunshine, beautiful beaches, spectacular sunsets, wonderful resorts, popular attractions and water everywhere — there are a few places that stand out as outstanding vacation choices. Wednesday December 28, 2005 | permalink Glide Into New Year One of the most fun tours I have ever taken was aboard a Segway HT. It was such an awesome experience to glide along St. Petersburg's beautiful waterfront and learn to maneuver the futuristic Segway Human Transporter. Previously located at The Pier , Gyroglides has recently teamed with the St. Petersburg Museum of History to offer a wider variety of tour opportunities. I can't think of a better way to start the new year than riding the future! Tuesday December 27, 2005 | permalink New Year's Eve Celebrations 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Happy New Year! Well, not quite, but it is time to make those New Year plans if you haven't already. If you'll be in Florida to ring in 2006, you'll want to try one of these celebrations: Florida New Year Celebrations New Year's Eve at Disney Monday December 26, 2005 | permalink Holiday Wishes Whether you are away on vacation, visiting relatives or home for the holidays; and , no matter what you celebrate — Christmas or Hanukkah — best wishes for a holiday full of memory-making moments. ~Dawn Sunday December 25, 2005 | permalink 'Twas the Night Before Christmas In Florida My apologies to Clement C. Moore. He's the guy that penned A Visit from St. Nicholas — more popularly known as The Night Before Christmas . In celebration of the holiday season, and just for fun, here are some paradies I found on the Internet that pay a homage to Florida... and the popularity of Moore's poem: 'Twas a Florida Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town, No noses were frozen, no snow fluttered down... 'Twas the Night Before Hurricane Wilma Twas the night before Wilma, when all through the state Not a gas pump was pumping, Not a store open late... 'Twas the Night Before Christmas on the Internet 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Net, There were hacker's a surfing. Nerds? Yeah, you bet... Merry Christmas to all... and to all a good night! Saturday December 24, 2005 | permalink Holiday Traditions One of our holiday traditions is to put together a jigsaw puzzle. We usually buy a 1,000-piece one with a holiday theme and set it up on a card table the week before Christmas. Just about any time of day the week before and after Christmas you will find one of us working on it. It is a nice diversion to all the hustle and bustle of the season and a nice way to gather the family together each evening. I enjoy working online jigsaw puzzles too, so I've put a few together that are certain to keep you entertained throughout the holidays. Florida Photo Jigsaw Puzzles Friday December 23, 2005 | permalink Going to Grandma's House? 'Tis the season for goin' to Grandma's house, and that may mean a road trip. We might sing "over the river and through the woods," but we are most likely to get to Grandma's house these days via a crowded interstate highway or an even more crowded airplane. AAA estimates that "more than 63 million of us will hit the skies, seas, and highways for the holiday. Approximately 51.54 million travelers (81 percent of all holiday travelers) expect to go by motor vehicle and of those, the greatest number of Christmas-New Years auto travelers will originate in the Southeast with 13.34 million. In a good news-bad news scenario, gasoline prices have been making a hasty retreat and are now averaging only $2.18 a gallon nationwide, down nearly 90 cents from the records set over Labor Day weekend, but still 31 cents higher than a year ago. If you want to check out the cheapest gas, both GasBuddy.com and GasPriceWatch.com depend on motorist to report gas prices, so you can find the cheapest gas in your neighborhood or wherever your travel takes you. If you're driving, check out my Florida Driving Guide where you'll find laws, rules of the road, gas saving tips and more! If you're flying, check out my Florida Air Travel Guide . Florida Maps Driving Distance Chart Whatever you do or wherever you go this holiday weekend, drive safely and sanely... and arrive alive! Tuesday December 20, 2005 | permalink Christmas Lights Shining Bright... in your community! It isn't just the attractions that are decked out for the holidays. One of my favorite things to do (after everything else gets done) is to drive around and enjoy the lights displayed right in my own community. If you need a few suggestions, here are the ones that have made the news this year in Florida: In South Florida The Palm Beach Post is your guide to the best neighborhood displays of this holiday season. The Miami Herald reports that Davie's Town Hall is decked out in lights and more for the season. More Broward Showstoppers compliments of the Miami Herald . The Sun Herald asks, " Have you seen the lights " in these Southwestern Florida neighborhoods? In Central Florida Lights of Pinellas lists countywide events and light displays in St. Petersburg and all the beaches. The Ledger lists holiday lights in Lakeland, Winter Haven and Auburndale recommended by readers . Holiday lights brighten the Tampa Bay area from Hyde Park to Brandon and St. Petersburg/Clearwater to New Port Richey. In North Florida WCJB in Gainesville has only one suggestion — check out this house . And, finally... remember those attractions we talked about? Holiday lights really do brighten attactions . Monday December 19, 2005 | permalink Scenic Christmas Cruises For more than 30 years, cruising the canals of Punta Gorda has been a Christmas tradition for many families. The city's residents do a fantastic job decorating their backyards, seawalls, boats and docks with holiday lights and decorations and boats of all shapes and sizes cruise the canals during the evenings of December to enjoy the warm community spirit. Nightly now through December 31, King Fisher Fleet will offer Christmas Canal Cruises three times each evening — 6:00, 7:30 & 9:00 p.m. These one-hour cruises sell out quickly, so advance reservations are a must! Sunday December 18, 2005 | permalink Busch Gardens and SeaWorld Raise Ticket Prices Your wallet will need to be a little fatter the next time you visit Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or SeaWorld Orlando. The two parks will raise their gate admissions by $2.00 and $2.20 effective the first of the year. Busch Gardens tickets will rise from $55.95 to $57.95 for adults and $45.95 to $47.95 for children ages 3-9. SeaWorld one-day tickets will rise from $59.75 to $61.95 for adults. In an effort to make this bitter pill go down a little easier, the parks are offering a sweet deal — visitors may exchange their tickets for a pass allowing unlimited visits the next six consecutive days to the same park. Also, the parks are bringing back the Fun Card which allows Florida residents admission throughout the entire year for the price of a single-day admission. And, until December 25, grown-up Florida residents can " Be A Kid Again " with admission for only the price of a child's ticket. SeaWorld's sister park, Discovery Cove has also announced a price hike — from $259 to $279 a day with the new deal including snacks, beverage, breakfast and lunch. Other major theme parks have not announced changes in their admission prices for 2006. The last rate increase by Disney World and Universal Studios was effective January, 2005.

Taiwan Travel Guide Travel

Taiwan Travel | Guide to travelling Taiwan | Travellerspoint U sername: P assword: R emember Me Car Hire Travel Insurance Airport Parking UK Cheap Accommodation Hotel Bookings Travellerspoint Travel Community Forums Blogs Destinations Accommodation Travel Help Reunions Tools Links Taiwan Travel Guide Travel Destinations Guide Taiwan lotus leaves, Taiwan - woo weiteng Taiwan Photo Gallery Though Taiwan is technically part of China, a festering animosity between Taiwan and the mainland gives the island a genuine independent flare. Chinese Communist influence is not exerted particularly strongly; this is a place where thousands of Chinese fled to for refuge when Mao took to the helm on the mainland. That said, Taiwan still bears the stamp of Chinese culture. Its cuisine, music and practice of Chinese medicine reveal just how closely Taiwan's culture is tied to that of China's. Taipei, the megalopolis at the island's northern tip, has that distinctive mixture of tradition and economic boom that characterizes so many of the Far East's big cities. Smart travellers get away from Taipei and venture into the eastern reaches of Taiwan, where the mountainous landscape has rendered it an impossible area for development. Here, there are some beautiful, unadulterated wildlife areas offering up a striking contrast to the toxic air of Taipei.
