Further Review Of Sailing Paraphernalia By : Ferdinand Mekinsy In naval slang the terms standing end and bitter end evoke the different parts of sailing knots, with the former suggesting the strain and the latter referring to the loose end one holds.

The Romance Of A Vacation Aboard A Luxury Cruise Ship By : Ned Dagostino For most of us the opportunity to take a "vacation" comes once a year or even twice. You pack your family and the dog into Ye Olde Faithful and do the routine run to Des Moines or Wichita or Whatever! The destinations may differ from year to year, but the "vacation" comes with the standard features: motels all booked up, Junior realizes he wanted to go to summer camp after all, Baby's got the runs, and Suzie is crying over her first pimple! But sometimes, grudgingly rare sometimes, you want something special, really special. You got the directorship over Bill Grady, or maybe Helena has come back to you. Whatever the reason, you don't want to take a "vacation". You want a vacation, the genuine article, the real thing! OK, this is when you listen to that little voice in your head whispering with all the force of a Chinese-made 2 billion watt PMPO handheld MP3 player: "Cruise! Cruise!" You decide it can't be Tom, so you book yourself and the family (Ruff can stay with Mrs. Doherty) onto a fabulous magical vacation aboard the cruise ship "Mirabile Dictu". You don't know what it means but you also know that the father-in-law won't either!

VISIT CITY PALACE, BANGALORE IN INDIA By : jassi Anything that comes with the ‘heritage’ tag in Bangalore gives on goosebumps, seeing how the city loves to consign its past to oblivion. The Jayamahal Palace Hotel- an icing sugar-white miniature castle complete with turreted parapets, a royal standard and sprawling grounds- is a lovely anomaly in the traffic-choked heart of the Cantonment. It was apparently built only a century ago by then British Resident, Sir James Austin Bourdillon, though no one can actually confirm that.

Tiny Chail does not rival the colonial grandeur of Shimla, but it does give you a feel of how the summer capital of the Raj must have looked before its salubrious environs were chopped down to make way for smug imperial edifices. Chail, of course, boasts of another arrogance, born out of a snub.

They include Nassau, Grand Bahama Island, and the twelve ‘Out Islands’ that include Cat Island with its highest point in the chain, and San Salvador, the island Christopher Columbus first set foot on 1492. The name of the island chain came from ‘baja mar’, which means ‘shallow water or sea’.
