A Land Divided - A World United - The Panama Canal
Author: Sid Kaplan

It has been called "the big ditch", "the bridge between two continents" and "the greatest shortcut in the world". One look at the immensity of the Canal, and you, travel agencies canada , will understand why a French company with a labor force of 10,000 men went bankrupt trying to excavate it. The project, while conceived in 1534 by Charles I of Spain, began in 1882 and ended seven years later in disaster with over 22,000 people dead from disease and pestilence. The United States took over the assets of a French company in 1902 and began the process of finishing the canal.It is a epic story, appreciated best by transiting the canal by ship, viewing what many historians say changed the face of the industrial world. This 51 mile water tollway shaved over 7,900, travel agencies canada , nautical miles off the distance between New York and San Francisco.Sailing the Panama Canal not only offers a rich detailed and fascinating history narrated by an on-board Canal historian; it is the natural beauty that surprises, travel agencies canada , most of all - an ever changing panorama of jungle clad hills, shimmering Lake Gatun, the high arched span of the America's Bridge, and of course the intricate workings of the locks and gates themselves.As you approach the canal from the Atlantic you travel through 7.2 kilometers of dredged channel. Your ship then proceeds for a little over 11 kilometers slightly westward before reaching, travel agencies canada , the Gatun Locks. Huge ocean liners are lifted, as if they were toys, 85 feet by three sets of locks, to the level of Gatun Lake. This lake resulted from damming the Chagres River and broaching the Continental Divide. This combined with the Gaillard Cut was a feat equal to digging a trench 10 feet deep by 55 feet wide from New York to California.Passing through Gatun Lake to the mouth of the Gaillard Cut and down the 13 kilometer channel, you arrive at the Pedro Miguel Lock, which, travel agencies canada , has a drop of 31 feet. This lock borders Miraflores Lake, about 55 feet above the level of the Pacific. Your ship continues about 2 kilometers through Miraflores Lake and reaches two Miraflores Locks. These locks lower your ship to Pacific tidewater levels. Leaving the Miraflores Locks you continue 4 kilometers to Balboa on, travel agencies canada , the Gulf of Panama.From the deck of your, travel agencies canada , ship or your own private balcony, you'll marvel as the locks open one into the other. The locks are double to allow one ship to be raised while another is being lowered. The lock chambers on the Panama Canal are 1000 feet long and 110 feet wide. Transit time through the canal is usually seven to eight hours. , travel agencies, travel agencies canada , canada , As a counterpoint, there is the natural wonder that surrounds the man-made one; a lush, virgin rain forest; impenetrable and inviolate, except for the canal. Imagine yourself watching the sun rise in the Atlantic, travel agencies canada , and set in the Pacific. Visit Mayan ruins and colonial cities.You can, travel agencies canada , watch cliff divers plunge from dizzying heights or hike in a cloud forest where hummingbirds dart in greater numbers than crows back home.Early in 2000 the United States turned over 100% control of the canal to Panama after jointly sharing its protection and control since 1977. The final cost of the canal US$336 million dollars which is less than the cost of the new cruise ships that pass through.While transiting the canal is an incredible experience, remember your cruise, depending upon itinerary, will also take you to places like Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica; Cartegena, Columbia; Santa Cruz; Zihuatanejo and Hualtulco, Mexico or perhaps Ocho, travel agencies, travel agencies canada , canada , Rios, Jamaica; Oranjestad, Aruba or possibly Willemstad, Curacao and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.Engineered as carefully as the Canal itself, these cruises combine just the right number of exciting ports with long, leisurely days at sea.

Learn The Insider Secrets On How To Get A Cruise Ship Job, Travel The World And Get Paid For It.
Author: Scott Lundergan -

After three and a half years of cruising the world, mainly on the Queen Elizabeth 2, I ended up traveling to over fifty countries and six continents around the world. If you've ever wondered how to get a job on a cruise ship, then keep reading so I can share with you the secrets on how to do the exact same thing.Many people wonder what it's like working on a cruise ship and are even more curious how to get a job on one. You might be thinking it's like an insider's secret! In a way it is, but it won't be when you finish reading this article. My first job on a cruise ship came when a cruise employment agent contacted a friend of mine who was unavailable to work, so my friend told him to contact me and the rest is history. I've also got jobs for several friends who ended up traveling the world, but for the people who don't know me, it's okay because I'll show you how to do the same thing in a different way. Here is exactly how it works. For every department on a ship, there is someone who oversees that department. That person reports to someone on land in the corporate offices for the cruise ship company, whether it is Princess, Royal Caribbean, /articles/travel travel agencies , or Carnival. Now here's the hooker. That person in corporate works with an agency or contractor that hires people by qualifying them before come aboard the cruise ship. This is what happens 70% of the time. 20% are hired through the companies, /articles/travel travel agencies , that are on-board contractors. These can be the on-board shops,, /articles/travel travel agencies , art auctioneers, photographers or other third party revenue vendors. The other 10% are people who contact the cruise ships directly for certain positions such as Sales Specialists, Printers, Disk Jockeys and people who have jobs that only involve one or a few people. When people are hired through an agency, there's a fee that's paid by either the cruise ship or the employer. Usually this fee is paid by the cruise ship. It's a way to hire a third party Human Resources to take care of all the logistics and coordinate with the corporate office and employers on-board, /articles/travel travel agencies , . This only makes sense because there are many logistics of hiring, ticketing and travel guidelines. From there, the third party agent or administrative assistant from the corporate office will be just a phone call away for anything, /articles/travel travel agencies , you need until, /articles/travel travel agencies , you join. There are plenty of jobs to choose from with the amount of ships at sea nowadays. For instance, one cruiseline will have more "entertainment" jobs, as to where another ship may have more "hotel services" positions available for you to choose from. Obviously you'll be working, but you'll also be traveling. To get days off in ports and spend as much time ashore as possible, work out schedules with your fellow co-workers. You may be thinking that sounds like a daunting task, but trust me, it's no biggie and takes about thirty seconds before everyone is happy. If you work in certain departments, like the entertainment department, your department gets to make your own schedule. Other departments, like casinos and shops aren't allowed to work while in port (not a bad job to have)!If you can, try to get a job on a ship that has a big fleet or that has alot of destinations. When I was with Premiere Cruise Lines, I transferred cruise Lines three times in four months, so instead of going to just two countries, I went to ten. Another example is Princess Cruise Lines, which has several ships that, /articles/travel travel agencies , all follow a similar protocal throughout. That way, crew can transfer from one ship to another with ease and confidence.You would be quite suprised to see how many resources and agencies can help you get a job on a cruise ship. You're probably thinking, "How would I get a job out of the thousands of people who apply?" Okay, here's the secret. Those thousands of people you're thinking about are thinking the same thing, so they don't even apply! You wouldn't believe the shortage of staff cruise ships companies always have. If there isn't a job immediately, one will open up within three months because that is how the contracts work out with multiple ships. There was NEVER a day when all the jobs were filled in ANY department. Department heads are ALWAYS asking the agencies if they have found anyone to fill the position. In many cases, positions, /articles/travel travel agencies , don't even get filled! Many crew have to EXTEND their contracts because the agencies can't find the right people, because everyone is wondering, " There must be several people who would get the job before me,", /articles/travel travel agencies , or they just simply don't know the people to contact.Many people ask me everyday how to get a job on a cruise ship, after all, I achieved my dreams by twenty-four and have seen several others do the same. What I always tell people is simple. Get a database and resource guide so you can contact these hiring agencies and corporate offices directly. From all the resource guides I've seen, nothing compares to the one I came across awhile ago, which was Neil Maxwell Key's resource site. He used to travel the world on cruise ships as well,,, /articles/travel travel agencies , /articles/travel travel agencies , but took it a step further to gather all the resources anybody could need to get a cruise ship job. If you're looking to do what only your friends and family dream of, then go get a cruise ship job. People are fascinated by the concept and will always be asking you what it's like traveling the world and getting paid for it.

Passport Advice For International Luxury Vacations
Author: Virginia Morgan
Source: articledashboard.com
It's been hard to avoid all the changes, confusion, and drama that has surrounded passports needed for travelers who have booked international luxury vacations. With the continuing changing standards and rules, it is important to check and double check before you finalize any plans. With that in mind, here are a few helpful passport hints to making your international travel painless.Important to Gather the Necessary Items for Your Luxury Travel VacationBefore you show up at a government agency to begin your passport process, be sure you have all the necessary items. The first thing you should do is go to the passport website at http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html. There you can fill out the basic application form and print it out. If you are unable to do this, go to your local travel agent who specializes in luxury vacations. They might have one. If not, try your local post office, library or passport office. If you go in with this paper work filled out, you save yourself and the passport clerks lots of time. In addition, you will need to provide your own passport photos. These cannot be just any photos. There are very specific parameters, and must be taken by licensed passport photo operators. To find the one nearest to you look in your, american express travel agencies
, phone book under passport photos, or ask your local post office passport center. You will also need proof of citizenship. This is either a birth certificate, a naturalization paperwork or a previous passport, all of which MUST be official copies. You must also have a state issued photo ID. If you do not have some or any of these items, refer to the website for specific circumstances.Apply in a Timely MannerYou have probably heard that passports are recently hard to come by. It is true that the average time was once six weeks for regular service and one or two weeks for expatiated. These time estimates have now doubled to 12 weeks for regular and 3 to 4 for expedited. This is disturbing to some, but not if you submit your application early. If you currently do not have a passport, and somewhere in the back of your mind you are thinking about traveling to a foreign country on a luxury travel vacation, then just bite the bullet and get one! The earlier you put in for one the better. You won't have to pay for expiated services if you put in now. And passports are good for ten years, so even if you end up not using it immediately, you might in the next ten years.Follow UpEveryone has probably heard one of the lost application stories. Agencies claim to never have received it, the application being lost in the mail, or bring denied a week before they leave. Again, applying early will solve a lot of these problems, but if that is not an option to you, then follow up. If you apply in person, keep your receipt and your paper work that says you have applied. You can also check to see if your passport is being processed on the website. To do so, you must have the application number that can be found on your paperwork. If you mail your application, send it with signature required, and ask for received documentation. If you are having problems, call the agency immediately to follow up.From luxury world cruises to a weekend in Mexico, passports are now required for any Americans traveling outside of the United States. It can be a hassle, but if you do your part, it can also be painless. Make sure, american express travel agencies
, you gather all your paperwork and documentation. Apply as soon as possible. If you travel often, you should have a passport anyways. And make sure you follow up on your application. Now that you are armed with information, go forth and get your passport!

Monetary And Currency Related Travel Tips For Travelers To Istanbul, Turkey
Author: H.Silistre

Istanbul is the largest city of Turkey with a population of approximately 13 million people which makes it one of the largest cities in Europe. The city sits on both Asia and Europe that makes it arguably the only city that is located on two continents. Istanbul used to be the capital to Byzantine Empire until it was conquered by Ottomans in 1453. The date is considered in modern history to be the end of Middle Ages. The modern day Istanbul is very different than what is used to be and faced many changes and challenges since the end of Ottoman Empire during the beginning of 20th century. Due to its perfect location, Istanbul throughout centuries has never lost its important status as a port of commerce and a cultural center. As Turkey's economy has recently started to emerge again in the last few decades, the city has again started showing changes of going back to its glamorous days. Istanbul is one of the nine candidates for the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics and it also hosts many different international conferences and exhibitions throughout the year.
ATM's are widely available throughout Istanbul and you should have no problems if you land in the city with nothing but a credit card. Credit cards, however are usually not accepted by most of the government agencies, public museums or other historic places run by the government. You may frequently have to run into an ATM and withdraw some cash to cover for such expenses. Visa and MasterCard are two of the most popular credit cards and they are accepted by almost every merchant that has a processing machine. However, you may have difficulties at some places if you are carrying an American Express Credit Card. Most of the touristic places, larger shops and hotels will accept American Express but still you have a better chance carrying a Visa or a MasterCard with you rather than running into a merchant that does not accept AMEX. If you are traveling to the suburbs, you may want to stop by an ATM and withdraw some cash while you are still in the city.

Istanbul is the largest city of Turkey with a population of approximately 13 million people which makes it one of the largest cities in Europe. The city sits on both Asia and Europe that makes it arguably the only city that is located on two continents. Istanbul used to be the capital to Byzantine Empire until it was conquered by Ottomans in 1453. The date is considered in modern history to be the end of Middle Ages. The modern day Istanbul is very different than what is used to be and faced many changes and challenges since the end of Ottoman Empire during the beginning of 20th century. Due to its perfect location, Istanbul throughout centuries has never lost its important status as a port of commerce and a cultural center. As Turkey's economy has recently started to emerge again in the last few decades, the city has again started showing changes of going back to its glamorous days. Istanbul is one of the nine candidates for the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics and it also hosts many different international conferences and exhibitions throughout the year.
ATM's are widely available throughout Istanbul and you should have no problems if you land in the city with nothing but a credit card. Credit cards, however are usually not accepted by most of the government agencies, public museums or other historic places run by the government. You may frequently have to run into an ATM and withdraw some cash to cover for such expenses. Visa and MasterCard are two of the most popular credit cards and they are accepted by almost every merchant that has a processing machine. However, you may have difficulties at some places if you are carrying an American Express Credit Card. Most of the touristic places, larger shops and hotels will accept American Express but still you have a better chance carrying a Visa or a MasterCard with you rather than running into a merchant that does not accept AMEX. If you are traveling to the suburbs, you may want to stop by an ATM and withdraw some cash while you are still in the city.

Keltic Seafaring

Many academics are clumsy to handle the achievability of ships that travelled the oceans as continued ago as the Franchithi Caves dig that showed 13,000 B.C. affiliation fishing fleets. It even was harder for a lot of to acquire the Kelts at the time of Caesar had this technology at that time admitting the words of Caesar. Some humans anticipate ability already acquired is never absent but that is far from true. Barry Fell was a Harvard Assistant of Oceanography afore he, calgary travel agencies
, got the bug to betrayal the truth. Some (Like Wiseman in Archaeology Annual of 'Camelot in Kentucky' commodity from 2001) badinage Fell as "self-taught" in affairs such as Ogham. Accuracy is, Fell took one of the alone baby courses accessible, calgary travel agencies
, at the time from Edinburgh University. Who can absolutely apprentice the accuracy from academics that adumbrate it? His name was fabricated clay by academics but his bequest from America B.C and Bronze Age America has been candied vindication.
Here is a little of the adventure of his travails, which is presented for added acumen than just the accessible charge to reinforce on the actuality and accident of Keltic seacraft technology. The acceleration and abatement of Celtic sea ability has been abnormally alone {Although the cine 'Spartacus' shows Kirk Douglas alignment access to Italy from the Kelts[Silesians and Galatians are Kelts aback to the time of Punt] who disqualified the Sea.} by a lot of historians and archaeologists as to alert abundant skepticism if aboriginal I began to address Celtic inscription in America. 'I can't say I've anytime heard that the Celts were seafarers,' was a archetypal comment. Those who anamnesis that Julius Caesar declared the Britons as mostly naked savages, cutting alone adamant torques about their necks, {A torquetum or tanawa is an age-old sextant accepted to accept existed in this aeon as Maui navigated for a able-bodied accepted Greek and was able to account longitude.} sometimes with the derma of a barbarian casting over the shoulders, anticipate, calgary travel agencies
, of the Britons as accepting annihilation bigger than one-man coracles for bridge water.
Nothing, calgary travel agencies
, could be added from the truth. In fact, a lot of of Book III of Caesar's 'De Bello, calgary travel agencies
, Gallico' is adherent to the greatest argosy action he was anytime alleged aloft to mount. And his adversaries? None added than the Celts of Brittany, whose agile was swelled by the accession of a fleet they had summoned from their allies in Britain! The accumulated Gallic and British argosy ammunition, calgary travel agencies
, comprised an badly able force, numbering, so Caesar tells us, no beneath than 220 ships, all beyond, calgary travel agencies
, than and aloft in architecture to those of the opposing Roman fleet beneath Admiral Brutus. These Celtic ships, Caesar says, were so deeply complete that they could outride agitated or adverse apprehension aloft the actual ocean itself, calgary travel agencies
, afterwards comestible abrasion ('De Bello Gallico', books III,XIII,I.). It is bright that these accomplished vessels, which towered over the Roman galleys, had the adequacy of bridge the Atlantic Ocean 'vasto atque aperto mari', "upon the all-inclusive accessible sea," as Caesar indicates."(2)
Does it cantankerous your apperception that these ships were in actuality active in such voyages to the Americas? Why had Caesar never apparent their like before? The wind went down and the Roman corruption threw grappling hooks into the Celtic accouterment and sails again boarded them. Caesar fabricated a accord (as was his wont) with the cousins of his ancestors who were not in ascendancy of all. He gave them abounding citizenship of Rome, which they in actuality had, calgary travel agencies
, accustomed afterwards acquisition the Tarquin kings of Etruria. Thus the attributes of Catholicism and the Anglican abbey has a continued and abject accomplished association, as they banned the Druids and put a compensation, calgary travel agencies
, on their heads. Can you see why we anticipate the Toltecs or others in America ability accept Druidic roots? There is no added acknowledgment of British or Gaulish argosy argosy in Caesar's commentaries, nor does Tacitus in the aeon that followed accord any amplitude, calgary travel agencies
, or application to built-in argosy might. It seems that the action adjoin the Veneti was the end of Celtic sea ability in classical times. Except for the alternate animality by British chiefs like Queen Boadicaea.
NORMAN TOTTEN: - "The Eye of God and the Agricultural Grid
By Norman Totten
Bentley College, Waltham, Massachusetts
Impetus for this affectionate of analysis was the charge to accept the "atna-kuna" burden so accustomed in Celtic New England and Iberia, and frequently associated, calgary travel agencies
, with the "eye of Bel". James Whittall has been analysis examples of it in Portugal and Spain. Fell, Dix, and Oedel accept afresh appear observations about it.
This presentation, calgary travel agencies
, is bound to what seems to be the two absolute allegorical forms of the sun and apple in age-old inscriptions - - the eye of the, calgary travel agencies
, sun god and the able acreage grid. Both accept occurred in abundant varieties, visually and phonetically. This cardboard should be apprehend as a advance report, abridged in, calgary travel agencies

I. Morphology and Dissemination: Eye of the Sun
Though he afterwards equivocated about which administration the change had occurred, Sir Arthur Evans (1984, p. 303) set alternating the basal forms of the eye of Ra - - from one complete with lashes (rays) to a amphitheater (pupil) anchor a abate amphitheater or dot (iris)." (6)

Many academics are clumsy to handle the achievability of ships that travelled the oceans as continued ago as the Franchithi Caves dig that showed 13,000 B.C. affiliation fishing fleets. It even was harder for a lot of to acquire the Kelts at the time of Caesar had this technology at that time admitting the words of Caesar. Some humans anticipate ability already acquired is never absent but that is far from true. Barry Fell was a Harvard Assistant of Oceanography afore he, calgary travel agencies
, got the bug to betrayal the truth. Some (Like Wiseman in Archaeology Annual of 'Camelot in Kentucky' commodity from 2001) badinage Fell as "self-taught" in affairs such as Ogham. Accuracy is, Fell took one of the alone baby courses accessible, calgary travel agencies
, at the time from Edinburgh University. Who can absolutely apprentice the accuracy from academics that adumbrate it? His name was fabricated clay by academics but his bequest from America B.C and Bronze Age America has been candied vindication.
Here is a little of the adventure of his travails, which is presented for added acumen than just the accessible charge to reinforce on the actuality and accident of Keltic seacraft technology. The acceleration and abatement of Celtic sea ability has been abnormally alone {Although the cine 'Spartacus' shows Kirk Douglas alignment access to Italy from the Kelts[Silesians and Galatians are Kelts aback to the time of Punt] who disqualified the Sea.} by a lot of historians and archaeologists as to alert abundant skepticism if aboriginal I began to address Celtic inscription in America. 'I can't say I've anytime heard that the Celts were seafarers,' was a archetypal comment. Those who anamnesis that Julius Caesar declared the Britons as mostly naked savages, cutting alone adamant torques about their necks, {A torquetum or tanawa is an age-old sextant accepted to accept existed in this aeon as Maui navigated for a able-bodied accepted Greek and was able to account longitude.} sometimes with the derma of a barbarian casting over the shoulders, anticipate, calgary travel agencies
, of the Britons as accepting annihilation bigger than one-man coracles for bridge water.
Nothing, calgary travel agencies
, could be added from the truth. In fact, a lot of of Book III of Caesar's 'De Bello, calgary travel agencies
, Gallico' is adherent to the greatest argosy action he was anytime alleged aloft to mount. And his adversaries? None added than the Celts of Brittany, whose agile was swelled by the accession of a fleet they had summoned from their allies in Britain! The accumulated Gallic and British argosy ammunition, calgary travel agencies
, comprised an badly able force, numbering, so Caesar tells us, no beneath than 220 ships, all beyond, calgary travel agencies
, than and aloft in architecture to those of the opposing Roman fleet beneath Admiral Brutus. These Celtic ships, Caesar says, were so deeply complete that they could outride agitated or adverse apprehension aloft the actual ocean itself, calgary travel agencies
, afterwards comestible abrasion ('De Bello Gallico', books III,XIII,I.). It is bright that these accomplished vessels, which towered over the Roman galleys, had the adequacy of bridge the Atlantic Ocean 'vasto atque aperto mari', "upon the all-inclusive accessible sea," as Caesar indicates."(2)
Does it cantankerous your apperception that these ships were in actuality active in such voyages to the Americas? Why had Caesar never apparent their like before? The wind went down and the Roman corruption threw grappling hooks into the Celtic accouterment and sails again boarded them. Caesar fabricated a accord (as was his wont) with the cousins of his ancestors who were not in ascendancy of all. He gave them abounding citizenship of Rome, which they in actuality had, calgary travel agencies
, accustomed afterwards acquisition the Tarquin kings of Etruria. Thus the attributes of Catholicism and the Anglican abbey has a continued and abject accomplished association, as they banned the Druids and put a compensation, calgary travel agencies
, on their heads. Can you see why we anticipate the Toltecs or others in America ability accept Druidic roots? There is no added acknowledgment of British or Gaulish argosy argosy in Caesar's commentaries, nor does Tacitus in the aeon that followed accord any amplitude, calgary travel agencies
, or application to built-in argosy might. It seems that the action adjoin the Veneti was the end of Celtic sea ability in classical times. Except for the alternate animality by British chiefs like Queen Boadicaea.
NORMAN TOTTEN: - "The Eye of God and the Agricultural Grid
By Norman Totten
Bentley College, Waltham, Massachusetts
Impetus for this affectionate of analysis was the charge to accept the "atna-kuna" burden so accustomed in Celtic New England and Iberia, and frequently associated, calgary travel agencies
, with the "eye of Bel". James Whittall has been analysis examples of it in Portugal and Spain. Fell, Dix, and Oedel accept afresh appear observations about it.
This presentation, calgary travel agencies
, is bound to what seems to be the two absolute allegorical forms of the sun and apple in age-old inscriptions - - the eye of the, calgary travel agencies
, sun god and the able acreage grid. Both accept occurred in abundant varieties, visually and phonetically. This cardboard should be apprehend as a advance report, abridged in, calgary travel agencies
, its application and somewhat acting in its abstracts apropos a all-inclusive and circuitous problem.
I. Morphology and Dissemination: Eye of the Sun
Though he afterwards equivocated about which administration the change had occurred, Sir Arthur Evans (1984, p. 303) set alternating the basal forms of the eye of Ra - - from one complete with lashes (rays) to a amphitheater (pupil) anchor a abate amphitheater or dot (iris)." (6)
This is important to compassionate the common cultures and the aristocratic accumulated traders.
