For years, the sand and sun has been a major draw for tourists in South Carolina, but the new Hard Rock Park at Myrtle Beach promises to make the beach even more exciting. The 140-acre international attraction has been billed as a revolution in the evolution of theme parks. Hard Rock Park features a variety of attractions that are sure to please anyone who is a fan of rock n’ roll.

Hard Rock Park is divided into six unique themes, or rock environs, including Rock N’ Roll Heaven, Cool Country and British Invasion. Each environ celebrates the culture, legends, and lifestyle of rock n’ roll that fall under that theme. Theme celebrations include rides, shows and displays of memorabilia that fully capture the essence of each area of rock n’ roll culture. There are also restaurants, cafés, retail stores, and children’s play areas. Of course, it is Hard Rock Park, so there will be live music in an outdoor amphitheater that is fully equipped with a sound system designed especially for the amphitheater.

One of the rides that will be featured in Hard Rock Park is Led Zeppelin ? The Ride, which is fittingly located in Rock N’ Roll Heaven. A looping steel roller coaster built partially over water, The Ride is taller than the Statue of Liberty, from base to torch, and is made of enough steel to wrap Wembley Stadium. Riders will climb 150 feet into the sky before plunging into a course that includes six full inversions, the largest of which is a 120-foot loop. The entire ride will be choreographed to Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love,” which is pumped into speakers in each individual car.

Memorabilia displays will help bring the history of rock n’ roll to life. Madonna’s jacket from the cover of “Music” is but one of the many items included in the park. The first item received by Hard Rock Park was the authentic Magical Mystery bus from the Beatles’ movie. Riders of Led Zeppelin ? The Ride enter a silver airship and walking past murals, props and music videos to reach the roller coaster. Each area of the park has its own specific memorabilia to help bring the theme to life.

For those who would like to bask in the glorious evolution of rock n’ roll, but have no idea where to stay, the Oceania family of resorts may be an ideal choice. The Oceania family consists of five resort properties scattered along Myrtle Beach, including the wildly popular Sandcastle Resort. Not only will you find an incredible place to stay, with convenient access to all of the local attractions, but the resorts are currently considering offering Hard Rock Park tickets as part of their vacation packages.

For anyone considering a vacation that includes a theme park, Hard Rock Park is the perfect opportunity to break away from the usual and experience something totally different. In fact, the park is a perfect vacation spot for families, fans of rock n’ roll, and the Myrtle Beach regulars who are looking for something new.

The Kasbah Agafay is just the most marvellous place to chill out for a long weekend or even a week. It is situated between olive groves on one side, and the start of the desert on the other, with views of the Atlas mountains.

We stayed in a suite right up at the top under the ramparts, and the views over the mountains were to die for, as for the bathtub, well that was something else altogether!!.

I just loved the antique rugs, high ceilings and log fires, as it does get chilly at night, and what with the wonderfully high ceilings they were needed.

The concept of taking an old and crumbling Kasbah and turning it into top class hotel is a great concept, and the tiled courtyards, and sound of tinkling fountains never far away were evocative of a time gone by. At night with lanterns everywhere you really felt you had gone back in time.

We especially loved the total lack of television, radio, minibar or newspapers, and the real authentic Morocco atmosphere. The logs burning in the evening were another touch we loved, even in our room.

The service was excellent, totally unobtrusive, but you just needed to literally raise a finger and someone appeared as if by magic.

Liked the pool, and loved the hamman, but one of the best features of theKasbah Agafay was the idea that you can be taken to Marrakech by private car for the day, and visit your ‘club’ which is the Kssour Agafay, a boutique hotel in a 15th century town house right in the medina.

It was great, we went shopping, left our bags, returning later for lunch, leaving more bags, and then we went back to the peace and tranquillity of the hills, and the wonderful Kasbah Agafay.

I left with my batteries fully recharged.

America is often defined by Times Square. After all, this is the famous location of the dropping of the ball on New Year’s Eve. With such a famous designation, it’s only reasonable that Americans would want their country to be represented by something decent. Not as it was for years, a seedy, littered, crime-ridden district.

Times Square, New York at one time was littered with sex clubs and porn shops. One of the most notorious establishments in Times Square could be considered the Gaiety Theatre. This was a male strip club that operated in Times Square for more than thirty years. When they officially closed their doors recently, the Disneyfication of Times Square was considered to be nearly complete.

The decline of Times Square began with the Great Depression, however the original opening of The Gaiety Theatre ushered in hustlers, tourists and individuals of the gay variety. With them, sex clubs opened up and porn movies became popular in this section of New York. Once these establishments took hold in Times Square, the crime rate skyrocketed and people began to avoid this area. After a bit, it began to be considered one of the seedier places to be in New York.

This was presenting a very bad image for New York. With the newly formed Giuliani administration, they swooped in and began enforcing laws that encouraged a higher quality of life for people. By doing this they were able to begin shutting down many of the sex themed establishments. They worked to drive out the people who encouraged sex solicitation and shops. The only drawback was that in people’s minds, it still had a reputation of being a place to avoid. So the biggest hurdle New York had was to show the world that Times Square had indeed changed for the better. Police worked to clean up the streets and brought the crime rate down dramatically.

It wasn’t until the Amsterdam Theatre was closed and transformed into the Disney Theatre that Times Square began to share the Disney name synonymously, then people started to associate Times Square with the “family oriented theme park” kind of mentality. With that association they began to feel that Times Square would also be subject to the Disney type of regulations as they have in their parks.

With the gradual closings of the gay clubs, porn shops and sex establishments, Time Square began to build up a more wholesome image but it took time. These shops weren’t eliminated immediately, it took time and a lot of effort on the parts of many individuals. The upgrading of Times Square was considered a complete success once the last remaining establishment that had such a stronghold on this New York crossroads was officially closed.

When you go to The Frangipani Hotel in Bequia in the Caribbean, book the Air conditioned Deluxe Room with a great view of Admiralty Bay.

It is well equipped with a bathroom, a fridge and comfortable bed, but thanks to sea breezes you might find the air conditioning a non essential.

The food at the restaurant is terrific with breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and the Thursday Night Jump Up is not to be missed if only for the huge buffet of local dishes like curry shrimp salad, breadfruit and conch.

The bar staff couldn’t be friendlier, and you need to try some of the specialty drinks from the menu that include local spices. The bar staff will give you great recommendations for other restaurants, beaches and water taxis.

The crowd varies from hotel residents to the occasional yacht crowd moored in for the night and taking in some food and drink at the restaurant.

The location near town helps as the Belmont walkway can take you to various restaurants and you’re no more than 10 minutes walk to downtown and the ferry dock to St. Vincent.

There’s a great, attentive staff on deck and you get a nice mosquito net for precaution, so you needn’t worry about either security or bugs.

If you want to look at a photograph or see more destinations then go to http://www.worldwidevacationspots.com/articles/2/1/Frangipani-Hotel-in-Bequia/Page1.html you will not be disappointed.

Just bear in mind this is not a five star de luxe, as you might find in Europe or the Far East. You won’t get bath robes, or 24 hour service. Hotels in Bequia, as in many parts of the less well known Caribbean, are just the same.Its a clean place to stay with a great atmosphere.

The Frangipani is a great place to introduce you to Bequia. Centrally located, great price and good food.

Tahiti or French Polynesian food is known throughout the world because of its exotic fruits, fresh fish and vegetables which are prepared with a strong French influence underlying the Tahitian ingredients. Restaurants in French Polynesia are from a wide variety of backgrounds including and inevitably French and Tahitian, but also Chinese, Vietnamese, and Italian.

The sauces served in these restaurants often features sauces which contain home grown vanilla beans

However to taste the absolutely genuine Tahiti Food you need to find a way of sampling the Ahima’a otherwise known at Tahiti’s underground oven. It is usually prepared on a Sunday morning, or for a special celebration.

Firstly the oven is preheated with a wood fire, then the wood is placed in levels one on top of the other all criss-crossed. The porous volcanic rock is scattered over the wood until it is completely covered.. When the fire goes out, the rocks are leveled and the food placed on top wrapped in woven baskets of coconut leaves. Fish, pork, chicken and vegetables are prepared in this way. Banana leaves are then laid over the top, plus many layers of leaves from the purao tree to cover the ahima’a completely. Finally earth is shoveled on top so no heat can escape and the food is grilled, braised and steamed for 3-4 hours. The Polynesian food is spread out on a table cloth of palm fronds or banana leaves. You will eat with your fingers off traditional wood plates, dipping juicy pieces of roast pork, fish, breadfruit, taro, and other goodies in coconut cream sauce.
The celebrations are normally concluded with Polynesian dancing.

Other things to look out for are as follows.

Poisson cru (ia ota) which is the national dish of Tahiti and Her Islands. This quite divine snack consists of raw fish and diced vegetables marinated with lime juice and soaked in coconut milk.

Chevrettes are another popular Tahitian dish, and they are tasty freshwater shrimp

No amura’a (meal) is complete without a rich dessert inspired by the islands.
The ultimate Tahitian dessert is Poe, a sweet pudding made of taro root flavored with banana, vanilla, papaya or pumpkin and topped with a rich coconut-milk sauce.

Stop by the roulettes or rolling restaurants, are colourful, electrically lit vans that offer the best inexpensive dining in Papeete. Both locals and visitors can dine on a variety of dishes from roast pork and pizzas to chow mein and flaming crêpes.

French Polynesia is thought of as a real floral paradise, because of the huge number of species due to the diversity of the climate and physical conditions of islands and atolls. There are nearly one thousand native species augmented by the hundreds of species imported by Europeans during the last few centuries.

Polynesian people wear at least one flower behind the ear, or stuck in their hair. They frequently wear a crown of flowers and a garland as well around their neck, called the “Tiare Tahiti” the Tahitian Gardenia, which is snowy white in colour. This is the threaded and plaited garland you may well be given on arrival at Papeete, entwined with the “Maire”, a fern which symbolises Tahiti.

In addition the following flowers are very popular and can be used on garlands, and flower arrangements. The Hibiscus, the Helconias, red ginger and red torch ginger, flamingo flowers, paper flowers, and of course the many orchid varieties. Finally the Temple flower which is actually a little tree.

Additional flowering plants of course includes bougainvillea, oleander, frangipani, pointsettia, and many others.

The mountainous volcanic islands are densely covered in vegetation, dominated by Coconut Palms. There are a number of other interesting trees including the famous ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ breadfruit. In additionpapaya, banana, grapefruit, avocado, orange, mandarin, lime and lemon abound, which accounts for the huge amount of fruit that appears at meal times.

The Fauna of French Polynesia in the main is underwater, where the coral, constructed by living creatures is a multitude of colours, from bright yellow to deep purple and reds, taking in neon green and turquoise. The biggest accumulation of fauna is in the lagoons, and not the ocean outside the reefs.

What you will find in the lagoons at night are tiger-sharks, but Gray sharks are very common and Manta rays and giant turtles are not uncommon at all. The richest area is the passes where the tide rushes in and out, and the number of fish who spend all their lives living in the lagoons make snorkelling here very attractive.

All in all the huge variety of flora and fauna are what makes French Polynesia the simply beautiful place it is.

Construction on the art-deco inspired Empire State Building began on March 17, 1930, St. Patrick’s Day. It cost almost $25 million to build; the onset of the Great Depression actually sliced the anticipated costs in half. The building stands at 1,454 feet (443.2 meters), has 103 floors, 6,500 windows, 73 elevators, and a maintenance and administrative staff of about 250. There are two observatories reachable by high speed elevators: the 86th floor observatory (about 1,050 feet/320 meters) and the 102nd floor observatory; both are open from 8 A.M. to 2 A.M. 365 days a year. The Empire State Building, located at 350 Fifth Avenue, also features a self-guided audio tour. As of 2007, approximately 20,000 employees work at the Empire State Building; it is one of the only buildings in the world to have its own zip code.

The building was the tallest in the world for 41 years before it was surpassed by the North Tower of the World Trade Center. After the September 11 attacks, the Empire State Building is once again the tallest building in New York City and the second highest building in the United States-only Chicago’s Sears Tower is taller. The building was designated a National Historical Landmark on June 24, 1986 and has been named one of the seven wonders of the modern world by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The present site of the Empire State Building was occupied by the John Thomson Farm in the late 18th century; in the 19th century it was home to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, which was frequented by New York’s social elite. The building was designed in two weeks by Gregory Johnson and his architectural firm, Shreve, Lamb, and Harmon and was financed by John J. Raskob. Construction was completed in 410 days and the building officially opened on May 31, 1931. In decadent fashion, President Herbert Hoover activated the now-famous lights with the touch of a button in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, because of the Great Depression the space was not profitable until 1950; locals nicknamed the building the “Empty State Building.”

Because of its impressive size, the Empire State Building has been involved in some unusual situations. On July 28, 1945, an Army Air Corps B-25 crashed into the building at the 79th floor. Though the crash caused $1 million damage to the building, the structural integrity was unaffected. During the spring and autumn bird migration season, the building must turn off its signature lights on foggy nights so confused birds won’t fly into the building.

The lights on the Empire State Building change seasonally or to commemorate a special event. For Christmas, the lights are red and green, blue lights were used to commemorate the death of Ol’ Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra; the building sat in complete darkness for fifteen minutes when Fay Wray passed away. The building has even lit up with the colors of local sports teams. In the months after September 11, 2001, the Empire State Building used only red, white, and blue lights.

Like other New York City landmarks, the Empire State Building has been featured in countless movies since its inception, among them An Affair to Remember, King Kong, Funny Face, Guys and Dolls, Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, and various Woody Allen films. The Empire State Building has cemented itself not only in American popular culture, but in American history.
