Property For Sale In Sicily
The beautiful island of Sicily is much more than just another Italian region. The rich heritage and culture of the island is unique, and the landscapes diverse, making property for sale in Sicily highly desirable. Perhaps best known for its coastal tourist resorts, Sicily has a largely undiscovered heart full of character, history and breathtaking beauty.
Sicily lies to the south of Italy, and a short distance from the African coast. Of course, this location provides a wonderfully warm climate, but has also resulted in a series of historical invasions, with each conquering race leaving their mark in both the architecture and the culture of the island. Today property for sale in Sicily can be found on an island with a unique character, drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean way of life with a blend of the Arabic and African.
Property in Sicily can be found throughout the island, and in many diverse locations. Taormina is one of the best examples on Sicily of a true beach resort. The extensive facilities and spectacular beaches ensure that it remains one of Sicilys best and most popular tourist spots, and is therefore one of the best locations of property for sale in Sicily for holiday lets. In complete contrast, the hilltop town of Enna is located at the heart of the island and largely untouched by mass tourism. The town boasts spectacular views over the Dittiano Valley, with vast rural landscapes and dramatic rocky outcrops. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else, the true traditional Sicilian way of live can be experienced.
Property for sale in Sicily can also be found in and around Palermo, the regional capital. Palermo is a busy and bustling city, packed with modern facilities such as shopping malls, restaurants and cinemas, as well as museums, art galleries and theatres, all blended with great Baroque churches, Norman cathedrals and spectacular palaces.
With such a rich history, property for sale in Sicily is often located near a historic building or important site. Perhaps one of the best examples of this is Siracusa (Syracuse), an important ancient Greek town and once home of Archimedes. Among the many historic attractions are the ancient Greek theatre, which shows traditional plays and dramas periodically, the archaeological park, and the vast maze of catacombs that run under the town.
Property for sale in Sicily is not just about owning a beautiful home or investment in the sun, but also about owing a little piece of the Sicilian way of life. All property for sale in Sicily is within easy reach of both historic towns and the countryside. The rural landscapes of Sicily are characterised by vineyards and olive groves growing in the fertile soil, but further inland the verdant plains give way to vast forests, lakes, and dramatic sun-drenched scenery dotted with rocky cliffs and hillside villages in which to buy property for sale in Sicily.
Sicily is also home to several nature parks, perhaps most famous the unspoilt countryside around the base of the dramatic snow-capped peaks of Mount Etna. Of course, property for sale in Sicily is also never far from one of the islands famous beaches. Sicily has some dramatic and beautiful seascapes, with sheltered bays and coves surrounded by high cliff walls, but most popular are the beaches near the resorts and those near Palermo, which are typically wide beaches with fine sand, lapped gently by the sparkling ocean. Though these beaches typically offer the best beachside facilities and access to watersports, the far south of the island is popular with surfers and windsurfers due to the higher winds and currents around the rocky peninsulas jutting into the sea.
The Sicilian way of life is not just centred around the natural beauty of the island, but also its rich cultural influences. As well as a great number of traditional festivals with various origins held throughout the year, there are also markets held in almost every reasonably sized town. Many of these are farmers markets and are a great opportunity to try some local produce, as well as hinting at the importance of food in the Sicilian culture. Property for sale in Sicily is never far from a wide selection of eateries serving fresh local produce, ranging from superb and acclaimed restaurants to small local brassieres, yet undiscovered by tourists, and, of course, the famed pasticceries selling the traditional local pastries. There are a great many l ... More

The Ultimate Boston Travel Guide
A city that has long celebrated its past is now very much of the moment, with thriving new neighborhoods and an innovative culinary scene.
By Alyssa Giacobbe
For many years the city was known largely for its prowess in the fields of medicine and academics, but the new Boston is powered by food, art, fashion, and technology. Its three most exciting neighborhoods capture this sentiment, albeit in three distinct ways. Fort Point, which connects the Financial District to the waterfront, is a rising mini-hub of innovation, bolstered by an influx of biotech firms and anchored by Diller Scofidio + Renfro's gleaming Institute of Contemporary Art, whose glass-walled amphitheater overlooks Boston Harbor. Restaurateurs have been drawn to the neighborhood by the real estate gold mine of loftlike abandoned factories: Early adopters like chef/restaurateur Barbara Lynch, who runs three popular spots along Congress Street—including the acclaimed Menton—paved the way for dozens of others. Row 34, a self-described "workingman's oyster bar," draws off-the-clock bankers and local artists alike.

"I have a clearer idea of what I want to do with my life thanks to my time here, and have made new friends, experienced a different life and different culture and it is all amazing."
There are a number of different ways to get to the UW Rome Center. Please plan to arrive during regular office hours (Monday - Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM). A brief explanation of the various routes to the Rome Center follows. A map showing where the Rome Center is in relation to its immediate neighborhood can be found here.
If you are asking for walking directions to the UWRC, ask where Piazza del Biscione is. Romans are not familiar with the name of our school and also not with the historic name of our building (Palazzo Pio).
Leonardo da Vinci airport is Rome's main airport. It is located in the nearby town of Fiumicino, and for this reason the airport is also called as "Fiumicino". It is usually abbreviated (on plane tickets) as "FCO". The only other airport in Rome is located in the town of Ciampino and is used by low cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easy Jet.
Please watch this useful video about traveling to Rome from Fiumicino Airport.
Get a cab from the taxis that line up in front of the airport. Don't accept a ride from the cab drivers who solicit inside the airport. They usually have unmetered cabs and charge a fortune. Comune di Roma taxis charge a flat rate of €48 to go from the airport to the centro storico (historic center, or downtown) and Comune di Fiumicino taxis charge a flat rate of €60. You must pay in cash, but tipping is not mandatory. Make sure that the driver knows that you know about the flat rate, since many try to turn on the meter, thereby charging up to twice as much!
Tell your driver our address: PIAZZA DEL BISCIONE 95 and you may also want to add that it is on the (angolo [corner of] Campo de' Fiori).
he most convenient way to get to the Rome Center is to book a car and driver in advance. Reserve on line at least 24 hours in advance: "http://www.studenthousingrome.com (under the section "Pickup" on the home page, fill in the form to submit your request, using the following request code: zxaap). The cost is 40 euros for up to 2 people and 45 euros for up to 4 people; 5 euro surcharge between 11 pm and 5 am.
The least expensive option is to take a "shuttle-train" from the airport to the Trastevere train station ("Stazione Trastevere") which runs about every half hour from 6 am to midnight. Go upstairs from where you come out of baggage claim and follow signs for the area where the trains leave to go into Rome. There is a ticket booth where you can buy tickets, but be sure to tell them that you are going to the Trastevere train station, rather than the main one (Stazione Termini), because it costs half the price, € 8.00.
When you get to the Trastevere train station, you can take the #8 tram directly to Largo Argentina (which is also the tram's last stop). You can buy bus tickets at the train station's newsstand, and the tram stop is just across the parking lot on the left. The tram will go straight up a big street (Viale Trastevere), will cross the river and will then stop at Largo Argentina. From Largo Argentina it is about a 5-block walk to the Rome Center. Going to the Trastevere train station is less chaotic than going to the main train station, where you are also left quite a way out on the tracks. (The Trastevere train station also has taxis waiting out front, and a cab from there to the Rome Center shouldn't cost more than about € 8.00).
The Terravision or Sit Shuttle bus service will take you from the airport to Termini Station (directions from the train station appear below). Prices, time tables, and reservations can all be found on their websites at www.terravision.it or www.sitbusshuttle.com.
All trains bound for Rome will stop at Roma Termini, Rome's central train station (with the exception of a few very early morning trains which may stop only at Roma Tiburtina). Exit the train station through the main, front entrance that faces a piazza filled with city buses (not the side entrances which let out onto Via G. Giolitti or Via Marsala). From here (Piazza dei Cinquecento), you can get a taxi or take a bus to the Rome Center.
If you choose to take a cab, be sure to walk to the front of the area where the white, licensed taxis line up (or stand in line if there is a wait). Do not accept offers from drivers who approach you as you exit the station, since they are most likely not licensed and may charge high rates. Legitimate cabs will have a visible meter and a rate sheet posted inside the car. Tell the driver the address of the Palazzo Pio, PIAZZA DEL BISCIONE 95. The price should not be more than € 13.00.
If you choose to take the bus, you will need to purchase a bus ticket BEFORE you board. Tickets cost €1.50 and are sold at most tobacco shops, as well as the newsstand in the piazza near the taxi area. Validate your ticket on board by inserting it in the time-stamp machine. Two buses that leave from the Piazza dei Cinquecento will get you close to the Rome Center: the 64 and the 40. The 64 will stop near Piazza S. Andrea della Valle (see map), which is a short walk from the Rome Center. Ask someone to point you in the direction of Piazza del Biscione. The 40 is an express bus which makes fewer stops, but will drop you off a little farther away from the Rome Center, at Largo Argentina (see map). Both the 64 and the 40 are often very crowded. Stay alert for pickpockets and keep an eye on your luggage.

Prague - Passenger car output in the Czech Republic dropped by 3.9 percent year-on-year to 1.128 million vehicles last year, but was still the third highest in history, the Automotive Industry Association has said.
Production of buses grew by 14 percent on the year to record 3,691 vehicles last year.
"The Czech automotive industry showed it had a competitive edge even in the difficult conditions of the year 2013, so that the overall fall of vehicle production was lower in the end than would have corresponded to the development on European markets," AutoSAP president Martin Jahn said.
The biggest Czech car maker Skoda Auto produced 639,889 cars in the Czech Republic last year, a drop of 2.5 percent compared with 2012.
TPCA turned out 185,124 cars in its plant in Kolin, central Bohemia, recording a 14 percent fall in car output. In contrast, Hyundai raised output in its northern Moravian facility in Nosovice by 425 cars year-on-year to 303,460 vehicles.
Czech lorry output was driven only by production at lorry maker Tatra after company Avia wound up lorry production in July 2013. Production of lorries fell by 49 percent on the year owing to the closure of the Avia plant.
Tatra raised production by 54 percent to 763 vehicles last year, while Avia produced only four vehicles.
Shares of the two major Czech bus producers almost did not change last year. Iveco accounted for 86 percent and SOR for 13 percent of production of buses in 2013.
Motorcycle output, represented by company Jawa Moto, dropped by 42 percent on the year to 1,354 vehicles last year.
Production of trailers and semi-trailers decreased by 17 percent last year after growing in the two previous years.
The two major producers Panav and Schwarzmueller turned out 1,251 trailers and semi-trailers in total last year.

Op-ed column: Pipeline another effort to exploit besieged Schoharie Valley
By Tom Smith
Flooding in the Schoharie valley is a fact of life, though the New York City DEP can help control the volume of it. However, it takes only the New York state government — beginning with our local representatives — to start speaking in unison to stop the onrush to exploit, and thereby destroy, an historical area where people wish to embrace a rural way of life in relative peace....

Hi, my name is Amber and I'm hijacking this part of the trip report! :P Yes, I'm the very same Amber that has thus far been involved, but given that there has been a lack of update for waaaaay too long and Marie is busy with work and such. (And such involving a Caribbean cruise last week and a week in the Dominican Republic starting Saturday!)
I'm taking over! Hold on tight kiddos, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
November 11: Part 5 - "I don't get this game!"
When we last left off there was some suspense about us and fast passes. We got some, but where to?
If you guessed Space Mountain, you're a winner! If you didn't, that's okay, I'm still a fan of you.
With our fastpasses in hand, we decided that we needed to kill some time. Eager to get another ride in under our belts, we looked around and decided that there was a way to keep the party going. Not wanting to leave Tomorrowland, we didn't walk far before we decided upon..
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin!
The standby time said something like 20 or 25 minutes and we still had a while before our fastpasses were due, so we hopped into line to wait.
It seemed like it took a while, but the line actually went pretty fast. I did have my moments of envy watching the fastpass people zoom in in front of us. But what could I do?
Here's Buzz filling us in on our duty to protect the galaxy from Zurg:
As first timers who had never played the game before there was definitely some confusion. Especially on the part of poor Marie who could not for the life of her figure anything out. Hence the chapter title. I didn't do too much better, but we all enjoyed the game nonetheless.
Behold Uncle Michel and Aunt Viviane in their redneck picture.
And of course me and Marie. I am much more intense about winning.
Clearly the rankings on the bottom were messed up because although I don't have a picture of Marie's score, it was only around 10,000 or so. It was really pitiful, but I digress.
After we exited the ride, we saw the line to meet Buzz Lightyear and of course we had to get in it! Now, we all like Buzz Lightyear, but what really excited me about meeting him was the fact that my cousin (who is 5) is a huuuuuge Buzz Lightyear fan and I know that he'd be so excited when I got home and showed him the picture.
Not to mention there were only like four people in head of us in line, so we figured it was an even more perfect time.
Me and Marie. Clearly there was some miscommunication as to which camera to look at first.
Uncle Michel and Aunt Viviane were excited too. Well, more Michel, since he's a huge Toy Story fan. Not that you can tell from this picture, but his lanyard is Toy Story!
Yay for the first character meeting!
Okay, even though we have no pictures of this (for I don't know what reason) what we did next was head over to the Carousel of Progress. I know this because, even though we didn't take notes, we did most everything in Tomorrowland our first night.
Being first timers at WDW, we did it more because we had the time on our hands and because Marie had heard that it was cool. So we got in and away we went.
We all loved it and Marie and I would be singing, "It's a great big beautiful tomorrooow." For the rest of the trip (another reason why I know we did it the first night). I'm really disappointed we took no picture when we made this choice because it was a great one.
At that point we still had time to kill, so we went ahead and got in line for the PeopleMover. Well, I say line, but it was really empty, so we walked on to get ourselves a view of Tomorrowland.
Aunt Viviane and Marie.
And of course we snapped some pictures, but none really of the surroundings because it's hard to do it in the dark and we were mostly just focused on enjoying the moment.
Obviously, I'm on a Disney high and hence why I'm so excited while everyone else is more reserved. (Marie will tell you that's just my face, but as we all saw in the first post, my face can be awfully grumpy)
Despite the darkness, we did manage one good photo that I absolutely adore.
I know it's no clear shot of the castle, but I still like it. I like that the Castle is there in the background, shining away in all of its Christmas glory. Beautiful. I think I'm going to miss all the Christmas lights on the Castle the next time we go.
When we got off the PeopleMover we finally headed over to Space Mountain to use our spiffy fastpasses!
We zipped through the queue, not even stopping to examine it. But don't worry, we'd have time for that another day. (Spoilers)
Once we got to the line they sent us to the left side. But before that, someone snapped a quick picture of others.
Enjoy your ride, random Disney World goers!
I insisted that I be in the absolute middle of the group because I was really nervous about the ride. Weird, I know, but I've got the roller coaster fears and I figured the middle would be the safest.
We all (mostly) ended up enjoying the ride, although I screamed a few times (I made sure to use Disney characters in place of swear words :P). Except Aunt Viviane whose back did not fare so well and had to be on painkillers for the rest of the trip afterward .
We were too slow to redneck a picture of the rocket with Marie, Aunt Viviane, and myself in it, but we did get one of Uncle Michel.
As you can see, he had fun and wasn't scared in the slightest.
Up next: What other trouble can we get into on our first night, especially now that we've used our fastpasses?

I'm baaack. So yeah, as my lovely spouse has mentioned in her partial take over of this trip report, work has been pretty busy, and vacationing has been awesome. Not as awesome as if it had been a Disney trip, but what we payed for both the Cruise and the Dominican Republic week combined would not have payed for a week at Disney, so you know. Tough choices XD
I'll try and get back in the groove of things so that I can get this trip report finished before we go back! Which is a while from now, so that would be bad
So back on track!
November 11: Part 6 - "Did we just walk away from perfect fireworks viewing spot?"
After getting off Space Mountain, we didn't really have specific plans as to what we wanted to do. It wasn't very late, not even 8 by then I believe, but we were all pretty tired from being up early and traveling. Still, we didn't want to leave the park so soon!
We walked down the walkway and I tried to snatch a picture. I definitely am lacking in aiming skills.
We made it back over to Main Street USA, and I took the opportunity to take some castle pictures.
I mean, how gorgeous is it?! Amber is almost depressed at the thought of it not being all lit up when we go back, since it will be in May.
My silly camera doesn't even do it justice. I'm due to get another one soon though (the one I have dates from either Christmas 2007 or early 2008, so it's had a good run but it's starting to feel its years!) so when I get back to the kingdom, I shall hopefully be able to get some better pictures, especially in the dark!
Now, at that point, we were right about where Walt and Mickey's statue is. However, silly me had come very unprepared for this first park day - yet you should see my planning notebook! Full of notes all over the place about parades and show times, rides with fastpasses queues, counter services and snacks to try out, dinner reservations numbers and times, and so on. We'd also grabbed one of those spiffy pamphlets that has most of the information you could be looking for during the day - however, they probably had ended up either in our bag or in Amber's pockets.
People were lining the streets and the sidewalks by then, so I figured the parade must be starting some time soon! It was maybe 7:40 at that point, and I thought it must be at 8, so I asked one of the custodial cast members who was walking around to confirm what time the parade started. He answered it was at 9, so still quite a while away! I never even though of Wishes, because I thought they came on after the parade.
I informed the rest of the group and suggested we go find a snack to grab in the meantime, maybe find a seated spot as well. We started walking away and headed over to the other side of the park, walking by the Crystal Palace, and just as we were about to cross the bridge into Adventureland, an announcement comes on... for Wishes, starting in 15 minutes! *facepalm* We'd just been standing in the perfect spot for fireworks viewing, and we moved away, willingly. Bad planning will do this to you, people.
We moved back over to stand in front of the Crystal Palace, right on the other side of the small lake. Then it started, and honestly, it really didn't matter where we were - it wasn't optimal, but it was still an amazing show, and so magical. I've always gotten a funny, silly, happy feeling whenever I've watched fireworks, but watching Disney fireworks... that was just so amazing!
This is the only picture I took because, again, camera has issues with darkness, and I also didn't want to look at the whole of the fireworks show through my camera viewer.
Once it was over, we went back to our original plan of looking for food and a sitting spot for the parade. We made our way through Liberty Square, where my aunt stopped by Ye Old Christmas Shoppe to buy an ornament, and I had to keep myself from getting one too! (Or well, Amber kept me from buying one). We also saw Tiana out for greeting, but they had just closed the line and she wouldn't be back out for another 20 minutes, so we passed by.
Now, by that point, we were starting to get pretty tired, and while I'm a bit more friendly when I wake up in the morning, evening tiredness makes me cranky. As for Amber, any kind of tiredness makes her cranky XD Neither of us we fully there yet, but it was starting to make itself known.
We sat on a low wall in front of the Golden Oak Outpost, and then I went looking around for a snack. There wasn't much around though, except for popcorn and frozen lemonade, and so I came back with no food. We sat for maybe ten, fifteen minutes, and by that point we were really starting to get tired. Amber wanted to go to sleep, and she didn't feel like waiting another 20 minutes for the parade to start - she would have rather waited for Tiana, which I didn't want to do because I knew it wouldn't interest my aunt and uncle, and also, with my camera that didn't work well in the dark, it wouldn't be much worth it, so I preferred waiting until we'd come back and meet her in daylight.
After talking it over, we chose to get going. I was still hungry though, and I wanted to grab something before leaving - I decided to stop by Main Street Bakery on the way out, but the line was pretty intensive, and the delicious, but very sweet smell inside the store gave Amber a headache (which made me even grumpier because I just wanted to eat something - see how this was turning here? XD).
Once we got back out, I saw an empty spot right by the edge of the sidewalk. By then it was maybe ten minutes to the parade, and I thought it would be a waste to miss it. My aunt and uncle didn't mind, and I managed to get Amber to agree. With those few minutes to spare, I also went on my way to the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor and finally got my hands on food. Yay!
I got a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, with chocolate ice cream, which was huuuge and sooo good. I failed to take a picture of it though, but it was gone as soon as one can eat that big an ice cream sandwich. My uncle accompanied me as he was also craving something, and he got the Plaza Ice Cream Sundae, which is vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream and cherry in a waffle cone. Yum.
And then - at long last - the Main Street Electrical Parade started!
I know a lot of people don't like it as much because of Spectromagic, but since I'd never seen that one, I really enjoyed the Electrical Parade. There's something about the song too that's really catchy, which I'm thinking is probably the point of it XD
Fancy mice going to the ball XD They have such pretty outfits
Those dresses must be so heavy, honestly with how long the route they have to go is and the dancing, hats off to these ladies
It's a ship! Peter Pan, Captain Hook, stop fighting! Don't you know Disney World's the happiest place on earth?!
Next came my Aunt's favorites - the seven dwarves, and of course, Snow White!
And of course, to finish off the parade, 'Murica!
As you can easily guess, once the parade was over, we quickly made our way over to the buses! A very good point to the French Quarter is that, with it being very small, it's generally easy to get sitting space on the buses, even if you get out of the park with the crowds. We enjoyed the sound of crickets and banjo from the bus as we headed back to the resort, and that was the end of our first day at Disney World. We collapsed in bed and were asleep within minutes!

November 11 - Part 6.5: Why Amber Acted Like a Jerk
Marie is too nice to me, cause I'll be honest I can be such a jerk when I'm tired. I just get grumpy (to the extreme) when I'm tired. The worst is when I'm tired and hungry, but still. After that night I felt pretty bad the next day because I knew I'd been a jerk. Still, in the interest of better understanding what was going on, I'll tell you how I'd have written it.
So without further statement, here is:
November 11 - Part 6.5: Why Amber Acted Like a Jerk
By the time the fireworks were over, I was actually ready to leave. We'd gotten up early, we hadn't slept much the night before and we had spent time traveling. Traveling always makes me tired (partly because of my motion sickness medicine) and if I hadn't been so excited for Disney, I'd have crashed much sooner. After the fireworks seemed like the perfect time to leave to me, since people would still be waiting around for the parade.
However, other people wanted to go check out the Christmas shop and I was trying to be supportive and not a jerk. Tiana was meeting people with Naveen though and I wanted to hop in line, it'd have been our first princess meet of the trip and she'd have her prince with her! Unfortunately, she was going on break and wouldn't be back for 20 minutes. Now here's where I look like a jerk. Yes, I'd wait 20 minutes for Tiana and Naveen but not 20 minutes for the parade. Meeting Tiana would be meeting a princess and a prince and it was quiet over there, with places to sit down and just relax. Plus, after we were done we could leave while the parade was going on and miss the crowds!
That wasn't exactly what everyone else was thinking though and so we just decided to leave after the shop. Except, Marie was hungry. This made me more annoyed because we were supposed to leave and now we were stopping in the bakery? Ugh. I was the opposite of hungry, I was so not hungry that even the thought of food was bad. There were too many people around, the line was too long and the shop smelled so sweet I was getting a headache. I just wanted to be gone and I was telling people as much. After all, we'd agreed to leave.
Sidenote: In the back of my mind I was worried about the impression I was making on Marie's aunt and uncle. They'd never spent much time with us when I'd been so vocal (not speaking French leaves me quiet during family events) and this was probably the first time they'd have a chance to get an impression of who I really was and who their niece had married. I was kinda failing at that, but hopefully they'd forgive me later.
After leaving the bakery empty handed, Marie saw a spot for the parade. My logic was still in the 'we can see the parade another night, but let's beat the crowds leaving tonight'. However, I was outnumbered. Marie wanted to see the parade, her aunt and uncle were interested. I gave in because I was outnumbered, but I was super annoyed with Marie. They'd said we'd be leaving! We were supposed to be heading back to POFQ! Now we were watching a parade!
To be honest, the only thing I remember about the parade is the music and being annoyed with Marie. That's it. I know, I kinda ruined it for myself, but even if I hadn't been annoyed, I was so tired that my mind just didn't focus on it well at all.
When we finally left I could have sung praises. All I remember from that point on is the relief that sleep was near and nothing else. I couldn't tell you what conversations took place, where we sat on the bus, or even how quickly we walked to the room. I do know I was asleep pretty quick and happy to be so.
So there you have it, the explanation as to why I was being so difficult. I know it doesn't paint me in the best light, but it's the truth. At least nothing like that happened again during the trip and I was a happy camper. Yay Disney!

Lesson learned: Don't keep Amber up on the first day next time we go to Disney XD
Moving on
November 12: Part 1 - "Why is it red on the right if hot water is on the left?!"
We got up fairly early the next day, wanting to make it to Hollywood Studios right about opening time! This was our only day at DHS, so of course we wanted to spend as much time there as was possible. My aunt and uncle called us before they went for breakfast at the hotel's food court, and Amber and I got washed up to get ready for the day.
I got showered first, which started out as a cold shower. That was pretty weird to me - sure, it was morning, and chances were a lot of people would have been showering before their park day, but there's also generally a lot of people who prefer evening showers. How could they be out of hot water already?!
Turns out, they weren't
I don't know if you can spot the problem there, but that was my mistake. Hot water's always on the left. I mean, I know that - that's how it is at my house, my friends' house, Canada or US, that's how it is everywhere.
Why would Disney have it differently? Well, they wouldn't. 'cept whoever made up these showers didn't agree, cause to me, red is hot and blue is cold. Thankfully, about halfway through I figured it out and it saved me from taking a full on cold shower.
I got ready to go while Amber showered and then we met up my aunt and uncle at the lobby. We headed to the bus stop, and it wasn't long before a bus pulled up for Hollywood Studios! Yay!
All the parks have such awesome Christmas trees, I can't even! And I was so happy about Christmas decorations being up pretty much everywhere by then! I hadn't been sure of that since it was still rather early November, but Disney clearly takes after my own heart
We walked inside the park, and I already knew what I wanted to do. I knew the one ride we had to hurry for, from reading up on it, if we wanted to ride it at all!
Problem was, not being familiar with the park, I couldn't exactly run over to where I was headed - I wasn't even sure of where I was headed! Still took the time to stop for a hat picture though XD
I was also getting a bit antsy at this time, because everybody else was being slow! Like, come on guys, we need to hurryyyyy!
Pixar Place! How can a place not be awesome when it's called Pixar Place? It can't
And of course, Toy Story Mania was our destination! No way we could ride it right away though - the wait time was already horrendous, about an hour, and while that can be acceptable to me in certain cases, this was not one of those times. We grabbed fast passes, and return time was already for half past one in the afternoon!
Clearly, we still had a lot of time to kill before riding, but that was fine by me. There were a lot of things we wanted to see! I got a couple more pictures from the surrounding as we left Pixar Place
I mean, even the trash cans are awesome!
We headed down the road and spotted exactly what we would do next. Hello, Voyage of the Little Mermaid!
I really loved this show, it was so neat! The girl who played Ariel was adorable, and she had such a great singing voice
And then when the bubbles came down (Gaah, I can't remember when, my logic tells me it was during Under the Sea, but it could also have been at the end?), it just felt magical. Like, hello, I'm five again, let me try and catch all these bubbles!
Once the show was done, we headed off to find what else to do! We were right by the Animation Courtyard, so we went in, not really knowing what we would do once inside though. There were so many things to do with so little time! If I had to plan one thing differently, I would have for sure tried to fit in a second Hollywood Studios day - but then, I feel like the amount we spent in each other park was perfect, so I guess it worked out to the best whichever way, and now we have another reason to go back - more DHS time!
We ended up getting in line to meet Sorcerer Mickey because he was out!
We stayed around a little after that, and did the voice over thing with the Hakuna Matata clip, and the Beauty and the Beast clip. It was pretty cool, though no voice over career for me. I was baaad at it!
Once out of the building, we decided to fit in more character greetings! According to the spiffy times guide, there were plenty of characters coming out in front of the hat all morning, so we headed over there. We got right in line, and soon after, the first set of characters came out!
Goofy and Pluto! I love that picture so much, with Goofy bowing to my aunt and Pluto just giving the biggest hug to my uncle. So cute!
Amber got a big Pluto hug too, but I wasn't ready for it, so the only picture we have of her encounter is a Fastpass picture
Still adorable though!
And finally, I got my picture too!
Once we were done character greeting these two, we noticed a gathering that was starting up in front of the hat. We headed right over and watched this quick little show unfold!
We were awesome audience members, if I do say so myself XD We were just jumping up and down and screaming and clapping super loud when they went around with the 'applause' sign, the girls kept giving us thumbs up!
Once it was done, we went on our way as there didn't actually seem to be other characters out - they had all come out and gone at the same time
That was okay though - I had something else in mind that I needed to do, after reading about it so much on the Disboards!

Hi I read through your report and it looks like you had a good time and I look forward to reading more of it
At my graduation trip my family is going to be staying at the French Quarter and I wanted to ask how the buses were cuz you don't seem to mention that often. Was there a lot of wait time?
My family still hasn't decided if we want to rent a car or use the buses

Hi! We definitely had an awesome time, and I'm sure you will too! POFQ is an awesome resort, we really loved it!
In regards to the transportation, from what I can remember, there generally wasn't much wait time. I also only remember two times when there was no standing room, one of which being when we left Animal Kingdom at closing time.
Generally, we left 40-30 minutes before the opening of the park we were headed to, and came back by closing time, or not very long past it on EMH evenings, so we would mostly use the buses right about peak time when they're most frequent. I don't remember waiting much more than 10 minutes at any point, maybe 15? It's a little far now in my memory XD
Then again, keep in mind that we went during what would be considered as low season, whereas a graduation trip would start being more in mid-high season, so generally buses run a bit more often when the crowd levels are higher
Also, the only inconvenient I would point out with the buses is the fact that they sometimes, though rarely, will go through Riverside as well. That only happened twice during our whole trip, once when coming back from a park (they dropped off POR people first), and once going to Epcot (it actually went through almost eeevery bus stop, and since Riverside is huge, they have a lot of those! But that's also due to the fact that the bus was pretty much empty so I guess he was looking for more people to load in)

I think we might lean toward renting a car if thats the case. Especially since Im not always the most patient person when waiting for things and I think even more at Disney. I'll just want to get in and see everything
Thanks so much for the advice

That's definitely a good way to go when you have the possibility of it, too! I personally hate driving so I couldn't, but I know the parking system works well (as long as you make sure to write down where you're parked!) and plus, it's free, so why not! Also makes it so much simpler if you want to do some resort dining or exploring
I'm glad I could help

Real Life Update #1
Hey guys! I just wanted to update you on something that's making me super excited right now that Amber and I decided on!
We've been married for a year, but we never did have a big wedding. We did it very simple, just us and my parents as witnesses, to get immigration stuff going, telling ourselves we would have a big vows renewal ceremony later on with all our friends and loved ones.
There's been many ups and downs in that journey, trying to decide what to do, what to spend, who to invite, where to do it and so on. In the past couple of days, we've even looked at a Disney wedding, with the Escape package, trying to figure out how we could possibly do it (spoiler alert - we can't :P)
Today, we came to a conclusion. We're already married. We have each other, and since whatever we can afford would only give us a glimpse at our dream wedding anyway, why spend 10,000$ on one day that might end up not living up to our expectations anyway?
Why not, instead, take that money and plan Disney trip with all our closest friends?
Which is what we've decided to do!
Plans are still at a very tentative stage, especially since we're looking at August 2014 so prices aren't even out yet and I'm not able to book my vacation for 2014 until early December.
However, we've established the following basics - since there's 9 of us, and I can get maximal discount on up to two rooms at my job (and we don't sell any of the villas like at Old Key West or Saratoga Springs, etc), we're thinking of doing one standard room and one family suite at....
The Art of Animation!
I'm so excited about this, because even though it's a value resort, I love the looks of it so much! Amber loves the movie Cars, so that's definitely the section we would stay in for the family suite, and then I really love the looks of the Little Mermaid rooms so I'm eager to see those as well!
That's gonna be a lot of planning to do, bringing 7 people along who've never been to Disney World! And never in my life had I thought I would be able to pay for my friends to go on such a trip, but I prefer spending it on an unforgettable week with all my closest friends than on one single day for myself (because truth be told, Amber was letting me pick most of what it would be like).
And besides, that won't stop us from getting bridal Minnie ears, right?

November 12: Part 2 - "They have seasonal cupcakes!"
We didn't have very far to go to head to our next destination: Starring Rolls! I'm a cupcakes fan myself, and when I saw the kind of cupcakes they have there... I mean, I'd be crazy to pass it over!
My aunt, uncle and Amber waited for me outside, and Amber took that opportunity to snap a couple of pictures
Now, I had fully intended to get the red velvet cupcake. It looks amaaaazing and I would just omnomnom that right up. However, I found myself faced with a dilemna when I walked in and saw they had a seasonal cupcake. And no, I did not get both
I ended up grabbing the seasonal one, figuring the red velvet cupcake should be there still when we go back!
It was pumpkin flavored with maple frosting, and it was deliiiicious. I didn't actually end up eating it then and there, because at that point there wasn't that much time left before our lunch reservation and I didn't want to fill up. Bad timing right? I did end up eating it later on as breakfast (breakfast of champions as my wife would say) and it was so good, and still moist in spite of having spent a couple of days in the mini fridge.
We closed up the box and put it away in the backpack to head over to our next activity pick!
No, not the Tower of Terror just yet
I just love the theming so much. Like, everywhere. I don't think I saw a single place out of every single park that was disappointing to me. I was probably looking at it with first timer's rose colored lenses, but I don't mind. It was awesome
Our destination was Beauty and the Beast! It was a morning full of shows!
We got there about 10 minutes or so before the next showing, so we just settled right in. In the meantime, we tried to familiarize ourselves a bit more with the layout of the park!
And I took a picture of Amber's awesome Monster Boo hair bow, because it's just adorable (you'll see a lot of similar bows during this trip - and if you don't know of them, check out Magical Ribbons, she makes such incredible bows)
I really enjoyed the show! I think it was really well made, and the actors were awesome. Seriously, I kept trying to figure out if they were just lip-syncing to it (well, some of it was recorded like Mrs Potts and Lumiere cause you know, it's hard to sing in that big a costume!) because their voices were so spot on! Especially Gaston, he was really great
I will definitely go see it again when I go back!
Once the show ended, we started making our way over for lunch time! The crowd level seems pretty big on this picture, but it really wasn't that bad. For one thing, Hollywood Studios is very compact, and for another, that's mostly the crowd that'd just exited the BatB show XD
We walked by Muppets Vision 3D on our way to food - this is something else we didn't make the time to see and we will definitely put it on our list for the next trip
I really like the Muppets area, it's such neat theming once again!
"What's the difference between puppets and Muppets?" "Well, a puppet is actually controlled by a person, whereas I am an actual talking frog" Oh Kermit
Enough of Muppets though! Anyone who knows the layout of the park should be expecting where we're headed next for lunch
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano!

November 12: Part 3 - "I wanna marry this steak"
Finally, food pictures coming up! This is the moment we've been waiting for! (Or not, that's also cool)
We checked in maybe 10 minutes or so before our reservation times, and they gave us a spiffy beeper again! I was really ridiculously excited with beepers. I don't even know why
The lobby area was packed, partly with people waiting to be seated, but mostly with people trying to get in without a reservation. Not to say Mama Melrose is the most popular restaurant in Hollywood Studios, but being one of the three that's part of the Fantasmic package probably helps some, and the place was just full at that time, so definitely no room for the huge line outside the door hoping to get in!
It was about 15 minutes before we were brought to our table! It was a bit cramped, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that the group at the table behind us had sat an extra adult at the end of the table. If it hadn't been for that, there would have been plenty of space
I don't remember the name of our waitress, though she was very nice. I do remember she was from England, and she was veeery pregnant. Like, past the 8 months mark pregnant if I remember correctly. I hope she wasn't doing a whole day shift, because I can't imagine walking around all day, carrying trays, while I'm 8 months pregnant (but then, we're very spoiled in Quebec with our maternity leaves so maybe that's why)
Because we were on the Fantasmic dining package, we were told we could each have an appetizer along with our entree, and then the dessert was a shared platter
My aunt got the Mozzarella and Tomatoes, which she enjoyed a lot
Amber got the minestrone, which according to her was okay, but then she picked it because no other appetizer was appealing to her, so someone who actually likes all vegetables soup would probably enjoy it more
Both my uncle and I got the Caesar salad! That's pretty much the only type of salad I eat, and I really liked it. I'm very picky about my Caesar dressing and this one was really good. That crouton was also delicious
Nom, bread!
Soon, our main dishes came out!
I got the chicken parmigianna with penne pasta instead of spaghetti, and it was good. The chicken was very tasty and moist, not dry at all
My aunt got the chicken campanelle, which she also enjoyed
My uncle had the wood grilled tuna, which came with risotto and diced tomatoes. I'm pretty sure he ate all of it, and he liked it as well!
And now Amber. Amber got the strip steak with five-cheese baked macaroni. And she was *raving* about it for the rest of the trip. She actually still talks about it sometimes, and it's also one of the things she's most excited about for our next trip - going back to Mama Melrose so she can have more of this steak
I tried it myself, and it's honestly really good. I'm not a big steak person, or a red meat fan in general. But honestly, there's very good chances this is what I'll also get when we go back
Once we were filled up well enough, they brought forward the dessert platter!
It consisted of tiramisu, chocolate torte cake (that may not be the proper name for it but that's what I'm calling it), cheesecake and panna cotta with candied cherries. I tried a bit of everything, and it was all good. I was especially a fan of the cheesecake, but then I always am
Overall, we were all very satisfied with our meal! The food was good, the portion size was perfect, not too much or too little, and sharing a dessert made it a lot more reasonable.
We headed back out to the park, and we still had a bit of time to kill before our Toy Story Mania fastpasses window opened up (still!). We walked by the ABC Commissary
Castle! Honestly, until I saw all the posters around that restaurant, I never even realized that's what 'ABC' Commissary stood for. I legit thought it was like... alphabet themed. I'm not even kidding. I wish I was, but I'm not.
We took a stroll down the Streets of America on our way to Pixar Place! Again, omg theming
Amber noticed while we were walking around just how beat up and bad the pavement looked, and for a little bit she wondered why that was seeing as everywhere else looks Disney perfect. Then she realized - they are the streets of *America* (though, they might as well be the streets of Canada too, our roads look just as awful)

November 12: Part 4 - "Don't take a picture of our score!"
We finally got back to Pixar Place, ready to go on our first (and, we figured, probably only) ride of Toy Story Midway Mania! The green soldier man was out greeting people, but we bypassed him
I honestly didn't really know what to expect of the game. I'd seen pictures, I'd heard about it a lot, and I wasn't too sure if it would be one of those things that get hyped a lot and then are disappointing, or if it would meet expectations!
Then again, any ride that looks that awesome from the outside can't be bad, right?
We went through the fastpass lane, and I think just that took us maybe 15 minutes or so. The standby wait was maybe an hour and a half at that point though, so they probably had to be a bit better at alternating the fastpass lane and the regular lane, and then at the point where both meet there isn't really much else they can do XD
Those glasses are flattering on just anyone - especially on people who wear regular glasses under them!
The wait went by pretty quick, and soon we got on the ride. Amber enjoyed it, as did my aunt and uncle, and I loved it! There was just so much going on and the fact that you get a limited amount of time at each little game that make up the ride make it that much more exciting. Expectations: met!
(Amber wasn't happy that I took a picture of the scores, cause I beat her - especially because she killed me at Buzz Lightyear's game, but who needs picture proof anyway :P)
Once we got off the ride, we split up in two groups. We had stuck all four together for the beginning of the trip, but at some point, we realized we wouldn't always be wanting to do the same thing and that was okay! My aunt and uncle went their way, and Amber and I went ours... to get more fastpasses!
Tower of Terror! Can you feel the chills?
While waiting our return window to come by, we went over to Rock N Roller Coaster to see what the wait time was. Unfortunately, they'd just closed it down And for some crazy reason, I never thought of going back to it! So we didn't get to ride it at all. I have no idea if it even reopened though. Oh well - next time!
Hello, Route 66!
Pixar Pal's Countdown to Fun Parade was maybe 20 minutes from starting at this point, so we went and found ourselves a good spot to watch. While waiting, they started doing this choreography in the middle of the street and getting people to join in!
As soon as they were done, the parade started!
That song gets stuck in your head something fierce, too!
The Incredibles!
I have very faded memories of A Bug's Life. I think I've only seen it once when I was little, not long after it came out - I think I also mix it up with Antz a lot XD
I love the parade dancers' costumes so much
Maybe the reason I didn't watch this movie more than once is the whole bugs thing XD Never been a fan of bugs myself
Most of them are cute though. So probably not the reason
Emile! I love Ratatouille. I also love how it's set in France and only half the characters have a French accent. To be fair, rats probably wouldn't have accents whichever way
Then again, what is most logical - to give characters a French accent in an English movie to represent the fact that they're French? Or to just have them speak normally, because in their universe they're just speaking French anyway, and the only reason we hear them speak English is because the movie is in English.
The pointless things I ponder (I've also had that wondering about Beauty and the Beast, 'cept that one is even weirder, cause the only character with a French accent is Lumiere. Like, the chandelier? Really?)
Monster Boo! I failed to get a good picture

Howes tipped to take Bob Carr's Senate seatPUBLISHED: 09 Sep 2013 00:06:00 | UPDATED: 09 Sep 2013 04:31:57PUBLISHED: 09 Sep 2013 PRINT EDITION: 09 Sep 2013
Australian Workers' Union boss Paul Howes has been tipped for a role in the Senate, filling a vacancy left by the resignation of Bob Carr. Photo: Andrew Meares
Phillip Coorey Chief political correspondent
Australian Workers' Union national secretary Paul Howes is tipped to become a Labor Senator, filling a vacancy to be created by the expected resignation of Bob Carr.
Senator Carr, the former NSW premier who until Saturday was the minister for foreign affairs, is expected to announce his resignation from the Senate following Labor's election loss on Saturday.
He is still overseas after having represented Australia over the weekend at the G20 leaders' meeting in St Petersburg, Russia.
Mr Howes, a leading figure in the NSW Labor Right faction, has been strongly urged to fill the vacancy and is understood to be keen.
He would join his friend and NSW Labor colleague, Sam Dastyari, who recently quit as NSW ALP general secretary to enter the Senate. Mr Dastyari filled the casual vacancy created when Matt Thistlethwaite contested the seat of Kingsford-Smith, held previously for Labor by Peter Garrett.
Counting is not yet finished but Mr Thistlethwaite is predicted to win the seat. There is some resistance toward Mr Howes replacing Senator Carr, with some in NSW believing Graeme Wedderburn, who was chief of staff to Senator Carr when both premier and foreign minister, is long overdue for a Senate vacancy. He had long ago been promised the vacancy that Mr Thistlethwaite was given but missed out. "Without a doubt, Graeme deserves it more than anyone else," said one of his supporters. But it is believed the spot will be Mr Howes' if he wants it.
Senator Carr was lured from retirement by Julia Gillard in 2011 after former powerbroker Mark Arbib resigned from the Senate. Mr Carr accepted the offer on the proviso he was given the foreign affairs portfolio. He has long made it clear he was not keen to endure time in opposition.

Discovery Center Springfield understands that the best learning happens during play, so it fields creative discovery through a variety of hands-on exhibits including an anti-gravity mirror, an astronomy gallery, and a miniature TV studio. Kids can ride a bike suspended 20 feet in the air or don a lab coat and explore the mysteries of DNA.
In October 2005, Doug Stritzel tested his 16 years of restaurant experience by opening Pickleman's, a sandwich shop focused on fresh ingredients and hot subs. Judging by the eatery's success—the initial shop spawned 11 additional locations across the Midwest—Stritzel's experiment worked. Each day, the ovens churn out a lineup of hot subs and pizzas topped with steaming ingredients. Toasted sandwiches meld zesty flavors, such as salami, capicola, and giardiniera peppers, in a torpedo-shaped package that spins in an edible spiral when thrown. Chefs also man the ovens to craft thin-crust pizzas bedecked with chicken, blue cheese, and buffalo sauce, but spare the menu's soups and chopped salads from the flames.
Irish pubs are renowned for putting Guinness on a pedestal, but Dublin?s Pass Irish Pub takes that adoration to a whole new level. Virtually every libation on the pub?s drink menu features the stout mixed with other bar favorites, including Jameson, Coca-Cola, and champagne. Guinness even makes its way into the kitchen, where it spikes the buffalo sauce that coats chicken wings and the cheese sauce that accompanies fries cut by hand and the occasional Jedi mind trick. Not everything, however, comes soaked in Guinness?fried bread pudding, for instance, arrives crowned with a warm caramel drizzle. To accompany such hearty Irish feasts, Dublin?s Pass hosts trivia every Monday, live music on weekends, and musicians strumming traditional Irish tunes every Wednesday at the Southside location.

At Icon Nightclub, droves of partygoers dance to pumping tunes on one of the city's most expansive dance floors. Revelers can energize themselves for late-night shimmying with drinks or sharpen multi-tasking skills by simultaneously dancing the funky chicken and the Harlem shake. Premium sips help foster an air of refinement, and imported beers help drinkers cultivate a sense of worldliness through hoppy osmosis. On Thursday and Saturday nights, Cadence lights up the club stage with rhythmic jams that earned the group a top 10 spot on America's Got Talent and vehement shushes from the nation's librarians.
Parlor 88 Lounge & Eatery's culinary team crafts upscale bar food to complement its liquid bounty of 88 martinis, 88 beers, and 88 wines. They slather baked boneless wings in your choice of five sauces, fill sliders with turkey doused in chipotle sauce, and top nachos with candied jalapeños and grilled chicken. After meals, a variety of chocolate sweets charm taste buds.
Parlor 88 Eastside hosts live music each Saturday, while Parlor 88 Southside entertains soirees in The Olive Room, a private space equipped with its own bar, full-service catering, and plush couches, which when sat upon, kindly giggle at all your jokes.

What would a summer be without a movie that melded Internet ignorance with the anxiety over fading sexual attraction? Hmmmm, refreshing? Sorry, it's just that I have felt under assault by all the trailers for the "romantic comedy" that opens on Friday. "Sex Tape," which stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal, is just one of five openings — which makes you wonder what those who schedule summer films were thinking.
Friday's movie schedule is as follows:
"Sex Tape": It's a plot as old as videotape (which no one ever uses anymore, so what's with that title?): A couple, trying to rekindle their former sexual fervor, decides to film their exploits. Then, stupidly, they somehow mistakenly download the results onto the Internet. Whoops. Yeah, stupid people are supposed to be funny. "Neighbors," anyone?
"The Purge: Anarchy": A sequel to the 2013 original, this one continues the theme of an America in which for one 12-hour period, held annually, no crime is deemed illegal. Naturally, instead of anyone trying to rip off big banks and get rich, people opt for … murder. Oooooh, kids, scary.
"Planes: Fire & Rescue" (in 3D and standard): A sequel to "Planes" in which our hero (voice by Dane Cook) responds to a damaged engine by giving up racing and joining a fire and rescue crew. Sounds a little like Steven Spielberg's 1989 movie "Always."
"Persecuted": This from IMDB: "An evangelist finds himself framed for murder and on the run after he refuses to back a senator's proposition calling for sweeping religious reform." Right, happens every day.
And at the Magic Lantern:
"Life Itself": Documentary filmmaker Steve James follows film critic Roger Ebert during the final months of his life, revealing Ebert's life story and his ever-evolving take on both movies and life. I reviewed the film here.
That's the week. Enjoy.
