Full story... RAVE OF THE DAY, from TravelGolf.com Failing airlines, high gas prices shouldn't sway 2006 travelers While many keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, it appears 2006 will be another year of travel for many. Despite several airlines in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings and sky-high fuel prices, travelers should be able to travel for business or pleasure without their pocketbooks taking a beating. With new methods of online ticket-purchasing available and discount airlines doing their part, 2006 should be another year for Americans to hit the road. Full story...

During this evening, families gather together to celebrate and share traditional holiday dishes such as turkey, and regional dishes including bacalao a la vizcaina (Biscayan dried cod), and romeritos, wild greens in mole sauce. For the holiday toast, the typical drink is ponche con piquete - similar to hot apple cider, made of seasonal fruits, cinnamon sticks, and spiked with brandy or rum. After dinner, gifts are opened around the Christmas tree and many families have a piata which marks the end of the posadas tradition. Afterward, the little ones usually go to bed earlier so that Santa can come, with the adults celebrating late into the night. 12/22/2005 PAMBER YOURSELF IN NAYARIT Punta de Mita, Nayarit, one of the most exclusive vacation spots in Mexico, will welcome a new ultra-luxe resort by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide in 2007.

One of these traditions, Las Posadas, takes place throughout the country on nine consecutive evenings, from Dec. 16 to 24. The posada is the reenactment of the journey Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem for Christs birth. Entire communities participate in the processions that go from house to house seeking shelter until arriving at a local church where a special mass is held. The piata, a symbol of Christmas in Mexico, is the center of attention at the festivities as the children anxiously take turns trying to break it open. The piata, a symbol of sin, attracts humanity. As the piata is broken with the stick, the world is gradually eliminated of sin, and the goodies that ultimately break free represent the gifts that God has bestowed upon the world. Enjoy Mexico States posada and piata fair, celebrated in Alcoman. The fair features a posada procession and childrens party. Among the piatas on display are those made from clay, traditional models with seven points that symbolize the seven deadly sins, and those made from cardboard with popular children's designs.

Photo:Venice Carnival, Italy Travel to which best Europe cities in these months: January February March April May June July August September October November December So what has Europe Travel got to offer you? Architecture: This crammed and chaotic part of the world has a stunning variety of architectural styles, both public buildings and private. From Paris' Eiffel Tower to the cramped but characterful canalside housing of Amsterdam, from Barcelona's melting Sagrada Familia to Venice's decaying palazzos, and from London's Houses of Parliament to Vienna's backstreets, the area has the greatest concentration of sensational old buildings in the world. And don't forget some amazing post-modern architecture too, ranging from Bilbao's wacky Guggenheim museum to Berlin's crystal Reichstag. Walkabout: most Euro city centres are compact, reasonably well preserved and have developed car-free or car-limited pedestrian areas that make travelling around the city centres a pleasure. And then there's Venice... History: 2,000 years of brutal, fascinating history lurks behind the civilized facades of most Euro cities. World changing civilizations like ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, Napoleonic France, Victorian England, Turkey's Ottoman Empire, Spain's conquistadors and Germany's Third Reich rose and fell in Europe - and the scars are still visible. Culture: The cultural heritage on show in every Euro city is staggering. Among the world beating museums and galleries are St Petersburg's Hermitage, Paris' Louvre, London's British Museum, Madrid's Prado, Istanbul's Topkapi palace, and Rome's Vatican. In most cases the building housing these treasures are treasures themselves. Cuisine: European cuisine has also given the world some everlasting icons. Taste the original pizza in Italy, caviar in Russia, roast beef in Britain, coffee in Vienna, croissants in France, sausage in Germany. Then go and have a Macdonald's if you must... Style: Style and fashion are a dynamic part of everyday life in much of the Euro zone too. From London's punk to Paris' haut couture to Italian leather to Scandinavian minimalism, the creative process is constantly being pushed to the limit. Shopping in the right places in Euro cities will yield styles ranging from wild and wacky avant garde to perfect classical, though prices often require deep pockets. Festivals: Europe's cities also offer a rich crop of strange and wonderful festivals, like the Bull Running in Pamplona [Spain], the masked Carnival in Venice [Italy], Edinburgh's [Scotland] huge and crazy International Festival, Salzburg's [Austria] prestigious music Festival and... Escape: Finally, when you're tired of the cities, there's plenty of travel interest in the countryside: castles and palaces and ancient ruins and mountains and lakes and sports of every description to refresh you before you go back to the cities.
