Posted by: celebrationsint on: October 20, 2009
An update just published on Cruise Critic caught my attention: Oasis of the Seas Update: Here Comes the Crew! The article says that crew members of Royal Caribbean’s new Oasis of the Seas have begun arriving in Turku, Finland to prepare for the ship’s maiden voyage.

I found this travel tweet’s blog entry quite insightful: http://www.501places.com/2009/10/travel-broadens-the-mind-i-beg-to-differ/ I think the notion that travel broadens the mind is definitely true in that as we travel, we discover new places, different cultures, people and languages. But the other writer has a very valid point in that travel does not broaden your mind unless you [...]

As a follow-up to my earlier post about McDonald’s opening in the Louvre, a couple of thought I wanted to add: 1) @GoPlanit tweeted a link to an article about ways to experience culture in your travels. At the top of the list was “Eat the local food.” I could not agree more. In my [...]
McDonald’s in the Louvre?
Posted by: celebrationsint on: October 5, 2009
Today’s announcement that McDonald’s is opening in the Louvre Museum next month is very upsetting to me, although I can’t really say I’m surprised. When I learned about the Louvre in high school history and French classes, there was never any mention of the modernization that now affects the Louvre. That was because it was [...]
