Students in the Art History program at University of Redlands, a top Southern California university, spend time exploring the classics through studying the paintings and sculptures found in museums like the Louvre in Paris, British Museum in London, or the Vatican Museum in Rome.
But art in Europe doesn’t necessarily mean
Visitors associate Switzerland with whisky, about as easily as they would Italy with poppadums. But one small enterprise, is now putting Swiss whisky or ‘Swhisky’ on the international map.

All previous trips have been Singapore Airlines or Emirates and cabin crew have been really good.
This time flew Qantas and the cabin crew were good but first leg out to Singapore was a British Airways flight and cabin crew all disappeared after serving the meal and seemed quite disinterested.
Get your act together BA cabin staff!
You might think you're good. You're not!
… And then when you do, take some time to admire it! Some of Europe’s bridges may not be able to compete with the likes of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, but what they lack in size they make up for in charm and character. Here are some that I believe deserve to be mentioned.

With spring in full swing and summertime in our collective sightline, I am pretty sure we’re all chomping at the bit for some time off to relax and renew. Since we're ready to go let's settle in and make plans now.
Although I am not a psychic, I get the vibe that you’re looking for warm sunny days, lush green vineyards, crisp white wines, fruit driven reds, outstanding food, happy smiles, and some wine country fun. Temecula Valley Wine Country in Southern California is the perfect complement to a
Looking for some high seas adventure with a decidedly gourmet food and wine focus? Then check out the Schooner Stephen Taber for a uniquely tactile and visual experience. This gorgeous century-old tall ship takes you from Rockland, Maine on a stunning tour of the untouched islands of Maine’s rocky coast. Think lush green inlets and islands, lighthouses, old farmhouses, seals and dolphins…and of course the ever-present lobster traps.

The travel news of the day is clearly the announcement of TripAdvisor's deal with Facebook and the http://www.tripadvisor.com introduction of TripAdvisor's Trip Friends.
The Boston Business Journal went to far as to claim the Facebook-TripAdvisor partnership was "game changing," and we think they're right.
It does change the travel search paradigm.
It's also a major and logical step for the review giant because research and anecdotal evidence has shown that travelers increasingly p

As we drove through the winding roads, following the coast line all the way to Portofino, I had to say that the Italian Riviera lives up to its reputation.
Suddenly, the pace of life slows down and the glamour factor moves up a notch. Luxury yachts line the marina. Posh cars, with their equally posh owners, cruise by. The devil wear may wear Prada, but she’s not averse to the occasional Gucci accessory. It was a fabulously sunny day, which added to Portofino’s sparkle.
Pachamanca meals are roasted in the earth. A hole is dug and the meatand vegetables are placed into this hole dug into the earth. Hotstones are then placed on top of the food. The hole is covered up andsealed completeley for about 1 1/2 hours and a roasted meal comes out.Al
The Road Less Traveled By: Travel North Wales (with Video)
Trying to pronounce the impossible Welsh names like Llangollen (klhan-gghlan) or Betws-Y-Coed or Llandrillo (klhan-dri-lo) is part of the fun and challenge of traveling in North Wales
But when the language is spoken in true lyric Welsh, actually “Cymru” (CUM-Raig) it sounds like water flowing over rough rocks, and hints at the deep, rich Celtic culture beneath this un-touristed, beautiful land.
The region is all verdant green hills and r

How Not To Travel Like An “Ugly American”
It's part of travel's enduring mythology: The American tourist, unable to manage even a few sentences in any language other than English, and oblivious to the culture and traditions of other countries..
The unflattering image of the "Ugly American" is a bit unfair, perhaps, but the "USA Number 1!" attitude persists among many American travelers, and Dean Foster, self-styled master of global etiquette and cross-cultural trainer to the world
Someone remarked the other day, that our travel agenda is often dictated by the quality of wine on offer. I would just like to say that our weekends away are as cultural as they are ’spiritual’. And just to prove it, here’s a travel post on things you can do in the Piedmont region of Italy, aside from wine tasting. But first, here’s where you can stay to get to it all.
Amalia Cascina is conveniently found in the middle of the Boffa family’s vineyards in Monteforte d’Alba. The rooms come with a vi
Shopaholics flock to London like fashionistas to a sample sale, and with good reason. A patchwork metropolis, London has everything from trendy flea-markets in the East to achingly cool designer outlets in Kensington and beyond.
And as every shopaholic knows, finding the perfect hotel can make or break the spree. This is TI’s pick of the best hotels for shopping in London: perfectly located near the capital’s retail meccas, with a style-savvy edge to boot.

Cruise Lines Sail the Social Media Seas
The captain of the Oasis of the Seas may have driven the 5,400 passenger cruise ship into Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades last fall, but it was Social Media channels that drove the Royal Caribbean's cruise ship, the world's largest, onto Google's most-searched list.
Travel trade publication Travel Weekly reported that as of a couple of weeks ago, 10 million unique visitors made their way to OasisoftheSea.com, and a whopping 200,000 people
