The brand new, much touted new Terminal 2 that just opened at San Francisco’s International Airport.
The video news clip is interesting, but less so than the terminal itself.
It may be one of the most modern, most chic, most green airport terminals in the country, if not the world.
USA Today Travel report on such luxuries as 350 power outlets for the “laptop-tethered business traveler,” a “recomposure” zone for passengers once they have cleared security, featuri
You can feel, hear, see and smell it as soon as you walk outside, the warm air, the chirping of the birds, the crocus, day lilies and daffodils pushing up through the ground, the mounds of snow melting you finally realize spring has sprung.
The busiest birding season begins in April, when blackbirds, waterfowl, sparrows, and the first warblers return. The Migrants start arriving in Southern Maine and Portland about a week ahead of Acadia and Bangor. April 1st Robins and Song Sparrows have return

Beyond the mind-numbing daily updates about Prince Wiliam and almost-Princess Kate in the newspapers, the real issue for Londoners is the chaos. And chaos it already is. My usual bike ride to work - past Buckingham Palace, around Parliament Square, and beneath Big Ben - has been ruined. Well, marginally diverted, as part of it has already been sectioned off for Royal Wedding party tents.
The roads from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey are being repaved, ca

California’s eternally sun-drenched desert resort is of course famous for a number of things, among them for being “the playground of the movie stars,” for its golf, its eponymous hot springs, its scorching summers, and its gay/lesbian resorts (even the current mayor plays on that particular team). All of which help make Palm Springs a tourism magnet – its 48,000 population doubles in winter, while in July and August locals — mostly transplants from colder climes – have their oas

Local hotels were besieged. During the rest of the summer, the cathedral and the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum saw a 30 % increase in visitors and L’Esprit du Vin, the city’s Michelin-starred restaurant, was fully booke
Turkey has so much to offer her visitors: breathtaking natural beauties, unique historical and archaeological sites, steadily improving touristic infrastructure and hospitality.

Since 1950 when the first charter flight landed on Mallorca, the number of annual visitors to the largest of the Balearic Islands has grown rapidly and today hovers around 10 million sun, sea and sand lovers.
However, there’s much more to Mallorca than the beach. The capital Palma de Mallorca is the centre of the island and one of its most charming abodes, famous for its brilliant sunsets. A series of rugged coves and busy harbours punctuate the southwest coastline.
