The Best of Portland Arts Scene

Portland, Oregon, is among the most artistically creative communities in the U.S. It happens to be one of the biggest cities in the Pacific Northwest, and the most important city between San Francisco, CA, and Seattle, WA. Portland humanities are an extremely specific and vital part of cultivating this relaxed, solid atmosphere. As such, there are several art museums and fine humanities in Portland to visit, all of the while supporting local artists and the local communities of Portland.

New study reveals 65 percent of working Americans are not using their vacation time

Sixty five percent of working Americans had unused vacation days at the end of 2011, according to a study released by Kelton Research for Radisson Hotels. Of those 1,0000 working Americans who were surveyed, nearly one-third said they do not use their allotted time because their to-do list at work keeps them tethered to their desks. In other words, to much work and not enough play.

Solutions Allowing Many Travelers To Fly Clear

I have never been a person who has ever enjoyed trying to get on a plane. I don’t know what it is, but usually I always get nervous when I get on a plane because I am afraid that disaster is going to lurk around the corner. This is very likely just in my head, but whenever I hear about the problems regarding airline security on the news, it only confirms my problems I have about boarding a plane. When it comes to the idea of “fly clear” it is a term not in my vocabulary.

How to Clear Airport Security with Ease

Back in the earlier days preceding 9/11 it had been determined that the country if not the world as a whole would increase security at airport terminals in or to prevent such a crisis from occurring once again. Departments such as the TSA were created to help with the process of more fully vetting airplane passengers. With the ever increase time it would take to clear airport security however; came the advent of a service called Clear Me. Though it went bankrupt within a few years since then it has made a comeback and will conceivably one day be at every terminal in the country.

My First Night In Pattaya, Thailand

It was seven-ish and I was sitting in a pleasant-enough room overlooking the front entrance to the pub above which I had just moved in. The pub was the Pig and Whistle on Soi 7 in Pattaya. Across the way was a big hole, which they were hoping to build a hotel in and next door to that, right opposite me, was a small bar with one woman sitting on a stool outside it. Not that there was a wall there, it was open on two sides. The Soi was lovely and peaceful, I thought. I also thought that I might go and sit in that little bar and talk to that lady, if my friend was late, because I would surely see him arrive from two metres away, the width of the Soi.

Today’s Travelers Should Read These Highlights From Scandinavian Airline Carriers.

Many would say that in a sense, Scandinavian Airlines was destined to succeed. The reason we say this is simply because of the fact that, while their beginnings were humble, they weren’t as humble as some others have been over the years. Scandinavian Airlines was born when a Swedish investor and a couple of local airlines in Scandinavia joined together. The net result from that brought existing assets to the company which meant they had certain advantages. This meant a fast acceleration into efficient operation with all of the pooled assets, resources and airline infrastructure already in place to add to a fast upbringing. But, they have been hugely successful, so the beginning was really not any kind of fluke.

The Hotel Situation In Greece For Tourists

Greece is a tourist destination, so it has plenty of hotels. Its Mediterranean location is an ideal holiday spot, and it is still seeing tourism increase year after year, even though it has been steadily increasing by 10% a year for decades. It is the site of the first Olympic Games and the recent holding of this big event there plus the Eurovision Song Contest only refocused the world’s attention to the country.
