Dead Sea Hotels: Ein Bokek

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Oh wow!!! These Dead Sea hotels in the Ein Bokek area are just amazing that it is making it so hard for me to choose just one for my visit in the region. Could I just book them all, one for each night I spend in the Dead Sea area? LOL. Looks like most, if not all, of them have English-speaking staff. I learned that during my inquiries. I have narrowed down my choices. I am down to two. But it seems like the Lot Spa Dead Sea Hotel is the winner. It has two sulfur pools, Jacuzzi, sauna, a fitness center and several treatment rooms for the body massages that you will only experience in the Dead Sea.

A Pleasurable Stay

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Our vacation was great this year. We walked on the beach, soaked in some sun and played in the pool. Not to mention the dinners and dancing in the evening. But, staying at a place where the bed was comfortable, the pillows were just right and the room was beautiful made the stay even more perfect. The Costa Rica San Jose Hotels made the trip relaxing and comfortable. Our view was refreshing with the ocean right outside our window and I could hear the waves rolling in each morning and each evening as I started and ended my day of fun.

The Way to Go

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

When trying to decide what to do for our honeymoon became an issue, my girlfriend told us about where her and her husband went when they got married. After listening to the great time they had and seeing the pictures, we made the decision to book a Costa Rica Honeymoon Package. It was a great decision to make because we could not have asked for anything more. It was one of the best weeks that I have ever spent going somewhere and we decided that we would go back for a regular vacation because of the wonderful time that we had.

The Penobscot Narrows Observatory: A View of Historic Proportions

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Bound to become one of Maine’s most popular attractions, the Penobscot Narrows Observatory is almost certain to be added to list of Maine Historic Sites to visit in the not-too-distant future. The Penobscot Narrows Observatory soars 42 stories above the Penobscot Narrows Bridge with a glass tower that gives you a 360-degree view of the entire region. Views for Camden Hills to Mount Katahdin are possible on a clear day.

Accessed through the Fort Knox State Historic Site, it is the tallest public bridge observatory in the entire world. The bridge spans 2,120 feet over a breath-takingly steep plummeting gorge. The new Penobscot Narrows Bridge replaces the Waldo-Hancock Bridge built in 1931. The bridge features several new state-of-the-art engineering techniques. For example, It is one of only two bridges in the United States that uses a cradle system that carries strands within the stays from the bridge deck and eliminates the need for anchorages into the pylons. The epoxy-coated construction of the steel strands allows them to be inspected, removed, and replaced on an individual basis instead of by groups of cables like most other bridges.

The bridge is also being used to test carbon fiber strands, which are (in theory) stronger and more durable pound for pound than their steel counterparts. The cable-stay system also utilizes pressurized nitrogen gas to help protect the bridge form corrosion. It is these impressive innovations that are sure to be benchmarked by future historians.

The Friendship Museum

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Located in the town of Friendship, Maine the Friendship Museum preserves and presents the rich local history of the community to the public. First known as the Meduncook Plantation, Friendship was settled in the mid-18th century and incorporated as the Town of Friendship in 1807. Many of its earliest residents were descendants of the original Plymouth pilgrims. The museum features a significant collection artifacts and documents of a traditional seafaring community. Many of the artifacts relate to seafaring: ship models, shipbuilding tools, an impressive collection of half-hulls, lobster and fishing gear, and plans for fishing boats and sailing sloops. Historic documents include old town records letters, journals, diaries, books, and pamphlets. Other items include paintings, drawings, vintage photographs and postcards. One of the smallest Maine museums, the small brick schoolhouse that houses the museum is itself a artifact. Measuring 20 by 25 feet, it a typical one-room mid-19th century schoolhouse. The building served as a grammar school from 1851 to 1923. The museum is located at 1 Martin Point Road, Friendship, Maine 04547 and is open from the last Saturday in June to Columbus Day. Admission is free; “donations are welcome.”
