Very often, when you want to get good deals on airline tickets, you wait for the ads to tell you that the "airfare price warfare" times are on, or for your travel agent to tell you more about bargain fares.
To be sure, there are great bargains to be made during the airfare price wars. When travel volumes are slow, airlines frequently slash their regular rates to entice people to buy tickets. During such times, the best deals often go to the early comers, so it pays to track Internet fares, regularly scan business and travel sections in the newspapers, and leave word with your travel agent to always alert, boston travel agencies
, you when special fare offers are in effect.
In the meantime, you may want to consider the following ways to get good airline ticket deals.
• There may be cheaper fares available when, boston travel agencies
, you call airlines between midnight and 1am during weekdays. Airline agents usually recalculate and load new fares into the computer networks at midnight. During that one-hour window, a handful of rock-bottom fares can be up for grabs.
• Fares are cheaper for mid-week flights. If you can fly out any day between Tuesday to Thursday, and stay over a Saturday night, you can save considerably over fares on flights departing Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
• Arrange to check into alternative airports. Many major cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Washington, and London have two airports. Additionally, nearby cities also have airports. Compare fares for carriers (regional airlines included) that fly into all these alternative airports to find the lowest price.
• There are instances when purchasing, boston travel agencies
, one-way or split tickets turn out cheaper. For example, a Raleigh to Boston trip may be cheaper if you buy two separate tickets - one from Raleigh to Atlanta, and another from Atlanta to Boston. This depends on the airline and where its connecting cities and hubs are located. In the Southeast, the major airline hubs are in Nashville,, boston travel agencies
, Atlanta, and Raleigh. It is usually cheaper to drive or fly to, boston travel agencies
, these cities and depart from them. Regional airlines are an economical way to get you to a major city where fares are, boston travel agencies
, cheaper., boston travel agencies
, A good travel agent should help you check all possibilities and find the best deal for your needs — but be sure to tell the agent if you are willing to fly out of other cities or airports to save money.
• Use an online service to help you compare. You enter destinations and relevant dates, and the online, boston travel agencies
, service searches dozens of affiliated regional and international airlines to come up with the lowest price. These online services enable you to bypass SABRE-powered services, which account for approximately three-fourths of all travel bookings worldwide. Since the airlines and agencies do not have to pay for using SABRE,, boston travel agencies
, they can offer you cheaper fares. Warning: these fares are not always lower than other sources.
Who has the best deal, boston travel, boston travel agencies
, agencies
, on airline tickets — Internet travel sites, airlines, or consolidators? This is a very common question, but realistically a pat answer is not forthcoming. Most of the time, consolidators (whether Internet or otherwise) will be able to give you the cheapest, boston travel agencies
, fares.
However, there are times when add-on airfares offered by tours or cruise ships turn out to be the best deals. And sometimes, airlines provide unbeatable vacation packages during non-peak travel seasons, or when it is time to engage in airfare price warfare. In order to get the best deals, make it a habit to check all the possibilities before you buy an airline ticket or book any other type of travel.

Rome - From Village To Empire
Author: Laurent Fabier
Source: articledashboard.com
Capital of faith and civilization, Rome is the hometown of western culture, where past and present join together in perfect twins. This so called "Eternal City" provides the most spectacular background for, german travel agencies , history and passion in the whole world. This so called "city of the seven, german travel agencies , hills" has been attracting visitors for two millennia and it is still one of the most exciting and romantic destinations worldwide.
From village to Empire - a city fated to sparkle
The city of Rome grew from a small Italian village in the 9th century BC into the center of a vast civilization that dominated the Mediterranean region for centuries and eventually became the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. As the pre-eminent republic of the Italian peninsula in the 3rd century BC, the city began to expand in all directions, making place to the Roman, german travel agencies , Empire; but it soon was a matter of keeping this Empire together as barbarians began to migrate westward its frontiers in a context of internal power struggles. The next 300 years were chaotic and traumatic, as men fought to gain the throne and barbarian tribes were swarming into the Empire. Slowly the Empire began to break up as barbarians fixed kingdoms for themselves from parts of Roman provinces; that's why the Emperor Diocletian split the Empire in half; the two halves were theoretically equals,, german travel agencies , but more and more they drifted apart. Finally, in 476 AD the German leader Odoacer took control of Rome, ending the western Empire. In the east, the Empire lived on, morphing into the Byzantine Empire, which continued until the 15th century when it became a centre of the Italian Renaissance.
Discover Rome in a warm touch
Rome is a city you can visit at any time of the year, some times of the year though are better than others. The Italian capital is at its most attractive in spring, when the weather is much better, german travel agencies , and far more comfortable, german travel agencies , for sightseeing. In May, June, September the days are usually warm and much less humid. Probably the best time to visit is during April, outside of the Easter period, and October when the city is quieter, less busy with tourists, and the weather can still be mild and warm.
City's call
As for the main cultural event not to miss if you get this summer in Rome, "The Musical Festival of the Nation" (Festival Musicale delle Nazioni) is one of the main attractions for tourist all around, german travel agencies , the world; it presents, german travel agencies , international performers and offers a varied repertoire, from solo recitals and chamber music to polyphonic choirs. The festival takes place in the Archeological Park, starting with the 4th of June till September 30th beeing hosted by The Teatro, german travel agencies , di Marcelo. The Musical Festival "Notti Romane al Teatro di Marcello" has been very successful in the past years: it got together more shows, music and ancient latin and greek poetry in an area where, 20 centuries ago,, german travel agencies , games and plays were performed. The festival is part of the international, german travel agencies , organization of the Estate Romana (roman summer) and is sponsored not only by the City of Rome, but also by the most important embassies in Rome, various prestigious cultural centres, academies, music schools and conservatoires.
If you choose to keep in line with theatre, the "International Urban Theatre Festival" should be your next stop beginning with the 1st and till the 3rd of September. The acting representations invade streets in Rome, looking to transform town streets into theatre spaces. The agenda of the festival organizers is to salvage the theatre and combat indifference, german travel agencies , with surprise "guerilla tactics". The various events take place in set locations all over the city, on street corners and in other casual urban sites.
Many of the city's fascinating attractions are a part of its every day life, and you might stumble across them while looking, german travel agencies , for something, german travel agencies , else. City's first must see is the great amphitheatre of the Colosseum, Rome's most famous monument. Gladiator combats, between men, between animals, between, german travel agencies , men and animals, and even between ships, were staged in front of up to 50,000 spectators. No other monument suggests the majesty of ancient Rome as well as this ancient temple. The Pantheon, built in 27 B.C by Marcus Agrippa is the city's, possibly even the world's, best conserved ancient building because it looks more like 200 years old, than 2,000. The secret of its successful maintenance may be that it was used as a Christian church, german travel agencies , from 608 A.D. An architectural marvel, its dome is exactly as wide as it is high,, german travel agencies , supported by pillars veiled in the walls.
The tiny city of Vatican, Saint Peters Basilica and Sistine Chapel, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain are also highlights that will charm you when going to Rome. Rome has a great diversity of shopping streets and vivid markets, most of which are in the city centre. Many of the shopping areas have been pedestrianized and, as yet, the city hasn't been infested with department stalls or the international chain stores that characterize most European city centers.
Effectively mesmerizing, Rome is still the "dolce vita" capital of Italy. From the marvels of antiquity to avant-garde culture via creative Mediterranean cuisine, Rome will enjoy all your 5 senses.

How to Get the Best Hotel Rates
Author: Brian C Marshall
Source: ezinearticles.com
As a travel agent I get a lot of people asking, travel agency jobs , me how to get the, travel agency jobs , best hotel rates and the answer falls back on the traditional way of dealing with the travel industry. The goal of this article is to educate the general public so they can get the best hotel rates and to teach those who read this article about the different types of room rates that exist in the industry. Theses tips I present have the potential to save you several hundreds of dollars on you or your friends, and families' hotel rooms from now on.
To get the best hotel rate, tip number one should be that you ignore and blacklist using all highly advertised websites like Orbitz, Expedia, and Travelocity from obtaining your services. Once you do this you are open to more options and better deal that you can get elsewhere. These Internet agencies spend millions of dollars every year on advertising so you will hear about them and when you, travel agency jobs , do, they present themselves in a magazine, commercial, or paid advertisement at the top of the search engines with their written or spoken string of brainwashing keywords they choose to advertise and target the general public with.
What these Internet travel agencies offer is an abusive and exploitative situation they control by brainwashing the uninformed that read, listen, and pay attention to their commercials. Internet agencies are not even considered true travel wholesalers according to certain industry professionals who have been in the game for 20 years or longer. The hotels are approached by the Internet agencies that do not even purchase the rooms from the hotels. Instead they propose that they will sell a certain number of rooms for the hotel with no time constraints and they are to be given rooms by the hotel at the Net Rate, which is a bulk travel wholesale amount in the industry. Travel wholesalers and consolidations have to prepay, travel agency jobs , for the bulk amount of rooms they buy from the hotels so they can resell them, so why shouldn't these Internet sites have to?
Here is where the exploitative situation on the general public begins, and nobody can seem to do anything about. Once the Internet sites are given their own inventory with rooms to mark, travel agency jobs , up at their,, travel agency jobs , travel agency jobs , control they go ballistic. They mark their prices 60% to 80% from the net rate and in some cases over 100% when you tie in all useless services charges,, travel agency jobs , fees, and taxes the add on top of everything. One would, travel agency jobs , think that the Internet, travel agency jobs , agencies and the prices they sell would remain comparative, competitive, and would be able to back up their hyped-up keywords you read and listen to repetitively in their promotions as they feed them to the general public the through millions of dollars of advertising, but they do not.
All the hotel requires in return is the amount of the, travel agency jobs , net. The hotels are fully aware of this exploitative situation that the majority general public is unaware of. The hotels do not support this, but they are simply forced into doing so because they cannot keep up the advertising dollars the Internet sites spend; otherwise they would sell every single room every day of the year by themselves. The only time you might be getting, travel agency jobs , the best hotel rate when you use one of the Internet sites is when the discount price is 30% to 50% off and then the price begins to be reasonably comparable to what is being sold on the vendors website. Other than that you are being sold a bunch of keywords that are all over inflated.
The second tip is the secret to finding the best hotel rates and saving the most towards your vacation falls back to the traditional method of using a travel agent, and the key is to find one who does not charge booking, service, or transaction fees of any sort. You might wonder where all the travel agents are at these days. The reason why you do not see swinging doors to for agencies anymore is because the airlines cut commissions years ago and over 200,000 agencies who occupied business space were forced to either shut down and shut their doors and moved to the internet where they could work from home. This is a big reason why travel agents, travel agency jobs , make up the largest sector of the home based business industry.
Using an industry professional it is and always will be the best way to save money on hotel rates and just about anything you buy in life. As an industry professional, travel agency jobs , we operate semi-automatically because it is usually requires membership logins and passwords, along with proper industry credentials to gain access to certain databases that are filled with premier discounts. Home based travel agents have the ability to obtain numerous different rate types and specials they can offer to the general public or to their clients at such incredibly low deals on such a consistent, travel agency jobs , basis. Premium deals cannot be posted to any public booking engines. They, travel agency jobs , must be sold privately.
The third tip that shows you how to get the best hotel rates is to understand the different type of rates that exist. The GDS is the Global Distribution System is the standard room rate and traditional hotel inventory. These are found on the hotel website and the ones they sell over the phone at the hotel or in the reservations call center. Sometimes, travel agency jobs , the reservations desk will be selling rates cheaper than the call center but they are still GDS rates in comparison. Agents use the, travel agency jobs , GDS to determine how special the other rates are in their overall, travel agency jobs , inventory of multiple rate types they are able to access.
There are different segments of the GDS that include traditional Standard,, travel agency jobs , Rack, Promotion, Government, Military, Corporate, Senior Citizen, and my client's favorite, travel agency jobs , of all, Premium rates. Premium rates are negotiated rates that hotel provides to travel agencies that reward them for their superior booking history with them. Typically the premium type will save clients 25% to 30% off from the standard GDS Rate. Promotion rates are like having to have the promotional code to receive a discount if the hotel is offering one to the general public. The rest of the GDS are self explanatory if you have the proper credentials to buy them.
The next type of rate is the most rewarding for clients. As I mentioned earlier in the first tip on how to get the best hotel rates,, travel agency jobs , I defined the meaning behind a Net rate as a wholesale rate. Wholesalers and consolidators will purchase a bulk number of room's usually in large amounts from the hotel vendors, travel agency jobs , and receive a low wholesale price, travel agency jobs , for doing so. The same concept applies a company who sells their products, travel agency jobs , to wholesale suppliers in bulk. The more purchased from the hotel, the better the chances of the consolidators receiving a lower Net rate from the hotel.
Wholesalers then will throw a small markup on top of the Net rates so they can make a little profit and then they we resell the Net rate and distribute them back in to various hotel supplier databases so travel agents can sell them to their clients and to the general public, travel agency jobs , . Net rates are special travel agent rates that are usually prepaid and nonrefundable. They must be booked at least 3 days prior to the clients' arrival date. Booking a hotel reservation using a premier and Net rate through a home based travel agent who does not charge for fees for their services is how to get the best hotel rates in the world.
Tip four explains how to make a travel agents job easier so they can find you, travel agency jobs , the best hotel rates. Spend some time preparing your itinerary for your agent. They need to know the desired check in and checkout dates as well as the city you wish to stay in. Providing the zip code you want to stay in is even better so they can focus on a certain area so you can be as close to where you want to be. Include the number of rooms and number of beds you need and how many people you are traveling with.
By all means be sure to include a small list of choices you are interested in staying at. If the do not charge a fee for their services, try to be prepared them, travel agency jobs , to work more efficiently for you by giving them all the correct information the first time. If you are traveling with children you will need to tell how many there are and their ages. As stated in the beginning of this article my goal is to educate the reader on how to get the best hotel rates that exist, and if you allow the industry professional to do the work for you, your results will increase tenfold with the success you receive on saving money each and every time you, or your family and friends want to go somewhere.

Unique Canada
Author: Richard Greaves

Canada's size and diversity makes finding its unique points difficult. Each Canadian city has its own unique, toronto travel agencies , landmarks and the indigenous, French and British traditions are enhanced by cultures brought by migrants, toronto travel agencies , . The result is a vibrant. complex multicultural society.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
However, there are certain institutions which are quintessentially Canadian and here we look at three - the RCMP, seafaring and the national sport of ice hockey.
Probably the most Canadian of all the country's institutions is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) formed as the North West Mounted Police in 1873, not long after Canada became a country in 1867.

You can take a tour of the vessel in which crews lived for periods of up to 2 years, toronto travel agencies , .

Other than the St Roch, the museum contains galleries of model ships and, toronto travel agencies , a workshop where you can see craftsmen at work. You can also see historic ships berthed nearby. The nearby Children's Maritime Discovery Centre offers a host of hands-on activities for children.
Hockey Hall of Fame
Now we'll continue to Toronto, Canada's business capital and largest city, and the heart of Anglo-Canadian culture and media. It's also the centre for the Canadian national sport and passion - ice hockey. And to learn everything about ice hockey in one place, head for the Hockey Hall, toronto travel agencies , of Fame (HHOF), a museum dedicated to this tough and fast-paced sport.
Here you can enjoy interactive sessions that bring the sport to life. You can take shots at real-time goalies, toronto travel agencies , and guard the net yourself to, toronto travel agencies , try and stop, toronto travel agencies , the shots of Gretzky and Messier.

Canada's size and diversity makes finding its unique points difficult. Each Canadian city has its own unique, toronto travel agencies , landmarks and the indigenous, French and British traditions are enhanced by cultures brought by migrants, toronto travel agencies , . The result is a vibrant. complex multicultural society.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
However, there are certain institutions which are quintessentially Canadian and here we look at three - the RCMP, seafaring and the national sport of ice hockey.

And don't miss the historic RCMP chapel which dates back to 1883. It features impressive stained glass windows.
St Roch.
Canada's Pacific Rim city of Vancouver has a long seafaring tradition much of which is archived in Vancouver Maritime Museum. Located in Vanier Park, just west of False Creek, toronto travel agencies , on the Vancouver waterfront, this museum is themed, toronto travel agencies , around a preserved, toronto travel agencies , RCMP schooner named St Roch.

Hockey Hall of Fame
Now we'll continue to Toronto, Canada's business capital and largest city, and the heart of Anglo-Canadian culture and media. It's also the centre for the Canadian national sport and passion - ice hockey.

Crime Prevention Taken Seriously In Minneapolis
Author: Heather Woodbine
Source: articledashboard.com
According to statistics the crime rate has been falling steadily all over the nation since the 1990's. However, it is still a huge problem in some of the bigger cities across the nation. As population grows there are more problems to contend with. The fight against crime is a never ending battle and the law enforcement agencies and government officials, minneapolis travel agencies , have to be on their toes all the time or else lawlessness and social unrest will prevail.
Minneapolis is located in Minnesota and has, minneapolis travel agencies , a population hovering just under 400,000. The emergency services in this major American city almost never stop fielding calls and requests for aid. On any given day, over 1,000 calls are received and processed for emergency services from the police, fire, or EMT departments.
Budget constraints and the sheer volume of calls make it impossible to respond immediately to all such emergency calls. Hence the local administration officials are forced to impose a prioritization of all such emergency calls. Highest priority is given to all those calls dealing with life threatening situations. Subsequent priority is allotted to calls based on their severity level in a manner to ensure the best possible service within the given constraints.
During peak times, a situation is assessed using the following criteria before a cop is dispatched to the location. The process of such verification and dispatching a cop takes around one hour. An incoming call is considered high priority if 1. there is an immediate, minneapolis travel agencies , threat to life, 2. there are any injuries 3. there is any ongoing criminal action and 4. the offender is present in the immediate vicinity or is expected to return.
This prioritization of incoming calls is part of the new initiative by Minneapolis to more effectively handle crime. Rather than spread their force thin responding, minneapolis travel, minneapolis travel agencies , agencies , to low priority calls, the police ration resources so that they are always capable of, minneapolis travel agencies , handling ongoing crimes effectively. It is all part of the new CODEFOR plan.
CODEFOR is an anagram for Computer Optimized Deployment—Focus on Results. This is the new crime reduction program that involves all sections of the police force. It works on four basic ideas that include (a) to get exact and timely information on crime that is occurring, (b) to deploy personnel and resources in appropriate, minneapolis travel agencies , circumstances immediately, (c) to use effective tactics and (d) to follow-up and,, minneapolis travel agencies , minneapolis travel agencies , assess relentlessly.
In another Minneapolis, minneapolis travel agencies , initiative, a voluntary program called "Watch Your Car", the participating citizens give a declaration to the police that their car is normally not used between 1 am and 5 am and therefore give the police permission to pull their car over if and when seen on the roads during this period.
Reflective stickers are provided to the participants to be pasted on the vehicles. The police identify the vehicles by these, minneapolis travel agencies , stickers and have the right to pull, minneapolis travel agencies , over the vehicle even if no crime has been witnessed. Thus far, the citizens are finding this radical program effective and the results of this program seem to please all sides.
However, it is presumptuous to consider a crime fighting initiative will be 100% effective. But, the Minneapolis police department is certainly trying its best to make the community as safe as possible for its citizens. It is a great incentive for people considering relocating to Minneapolis as the community is committed to fighting crime to make the city safe to live.

The treasures beyond the city limits will beckon you too. Tour Mendanhall Glacier by motorcoach or helicopter. This river of ice, with craggy rock sentinels 3,000 feet above sea level is a natural wonder.
Skagway, a magnet for gold-seekers in the late 1890's, was referred to as the "roughest town on earth" with its over 80 saloons. You can relive the racy Klondike days in this colourful turn-of-the-century town where cancan dancers and other entertainers in 1890's garb will welcome you or take an authentic horse drawn, travel agencies canada , taxi into town and explore the "Trail of 98" museum.

Area 51 The Myth Or Reality
Author: Adam Khan
Source: articlesbase.com
Area 51. It's the most famous military institution in the world that doesn't officially exist. If it did, it would be found about 100 miles outside Las Vegas in Nevada's high desert, tucked between an Air Force base and an abandoned, utah travel agencies , nuclear testing ground. Then again, maybe notâ€" the U.S. government refuses to say. You can't drive anywhere close to it, and until recently, the airspace overhead was restrictedâ€"all the way to outer space. Any mention of Area 51 gets redacted from official documents, even those that have been declassified for, utah travel agencies , decades.It has become the holy grail for conspiracy theorists, with UFOlogists positing that the Pentagon reverse engineers flying saucers and keeps extraterrestrial, utah travel agencies , beings stored in freezers. Urban legend has it that Area 51 is connected by underground tunnels and trains to other secret facilities around the country. In 2001, Katie Couric told Today Show audiences that 7 percent of Americans doubt the moon landing happenedâ€"that it was staged in the Nevada desert. Millions of X-Files fans believe the truth may be "out there," but more likely it's concealed inside Area 51's Strangelove-esque hangarsâ€"buildings that, though confirmed by Google Earth, the government refuses to acknowledge. The problem is the myths of Area 51 are hard to dispute if no one can speak on the record about what actually happened there. Well, now, for the first time, someone is ready to talkâ€"in fact, five men are, and their stories rival the most outrageous of rumors. Colonel, utah travel agencies , Hugh "Slip" Slater, 87, was commander of the Area 51 base in the 1960s. Edward Lovick, 90, featured in "What Plane?" in LA's March issue, spent three decades radar testing some of the world's most famous aircraft (including the U-2, the, utah travel agencies , A-12 OXCART and the F-117). Kenneth Collins, 80, a CIA experimental test pilot, was given the silver star. Thornton "T.D." Barnes, 72, was an Area 51 special-projects engineer. And Harry Martin, 77, was one of the men in charge of the base's half-million-gallon monthly supply of spy-plane fuels. Here are a few of their best storiesâ€"for the record:On May 24, 1963, Collins flew out of Area 51's restricted airspace in a top-secret spy plane code-named OXCART, built by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. He was flying over Utah when the aircraft pitched, flipped and headed toward a crash. He ejected into a field of weeds.Almost 46 years later, in late fall of 2008, sitting in a coffee shop in the San Fernando Valley, Collins remembers that day with the kind of clarity the threat of a national security breach evokes: "Three guys came driving toward me in a pickup. I saw they had the aircraft canopy in the back. They offered to, utah travel agencies , take me to my plane." Until that moment, no civilian without a top-secret security clearance had ever laid eyes on the airplane Collins was flying. "I told them not to go near the aircraft. I said it had a nuclear weapon on-board." The story fit right into the Cold War backdrop of the day, as many atomic tests took place in Nevada. Spooked, the men drove Collins to the local highway patrol. The CIA disguised, utah travel agencies , the accident as involving a generic Air Force plane, the F-105, which is how the event is still listed in official records. As for the guys who picked him up, they were tracked down and told to sign national security nondisclosures. As part of Collins' own debriefing, the CIA asked the decorated pilot to take truth serum. "They wanted to see if there was anything I'd for-gotten about the events leading up to the crash." The Sodium Pento-thal, utah travel agencies , experience went without a hitchâ€"except for the reaction of his wife, Jane."Late Sunday, three CIA agents brought me home. One drove my car; the other two carried me inside and laid me down on the couch. I was loopy from the drugs. They handed Jane the car keys and left without saying a word." The only conclusion she could draw was that her husband had gone out and gotten drunk. "Boy, was she mad," says Collins with a chuckle.At the time of Collins' accident, CIA pilots had been flying spy planes in and out of Area 51 for eight years, with the express mission of providing the intelligence to prevent nuclear war. Aerial reconnaissance was a major part of the CIA's preemptive efforts, while the rest of America built bomb shelters and hoped for the best."It wasn't always called Area 51," says Lovick, the physicist who developed stealth technology. His boss, legendary aircraft designer Clarence L. "Kelly", utah travel agencies , Johnson, called the place Paradise Ranch to entice men to leave their families and "rough it" out in the Nevada desert in the name of science and the fight against the evil, utah travel agencies , empire. "Test pilot Tony LeVier found the place by flying over, utah travel agencies , it," says Lovick. "It was a lake bed called Groom Lake, selected for testing because it was flat, utah travel agencies , and far from anything. It was kept secret because the CIA tested U-2s there."When Frances Gary Powers was shot down over Sverdlovsk, Russia, in 1960, the U-2 program lost its cover. But the CIA, utah travel agencies , already had Lovick and some 200 scientists, engineers and pilots working at Area 51 on the A-12 OXCART, which would outfox Soviet radar using height, stealth and speed.Col. Slater was, utah travel agencies , in the outfit of six pilots who flew OXCART missions during the Vietnam War. Over a Cuban meat and cheese sandwich at the Bahama Breeze restaurant off the Las Vegas Strip, he says, "I was recruited for the Area after working with the CIA's classified, utah travel agencies , Black Cat Squadron, which flew U-2 missions over denied territory, utah travel agencies , in Mainland China. After that, I was told, 'You should come out to Nevada and work on something interesting we're doing out there, utah travel agencies , .' "Even though Slater considers himself a fighter pilot at heartâ€"he flew 84 missions in World War IIâ€"the opportunity to work at Area 51 was impossible to pass up. "When I learned about this Mach-3 aircraft called OXCART, it was completely intriguing to meâ€"this idea of flying three times the speed of sound! No one knew a thing about the program. I asked my wife, Barbara, if she wanted to move to Las Vegas, and she said yes. And I said, 'You won't see me but on the weekends,' and she said, 'That's fine!' " At this recollection, Slater laughs heartily. Barbara, dining with us, laughs, utah travel agencies , as well. The two, married for 63 years, are rarely apart today."We couldn't have told you any of this a year, utah travel agencies , ago," Slater says. "Now we can't tell it to you fast enough." That is because in 2007, the CIA began declassifying the 50-year-old OXCART program. Today, there's a scramble for eyewitnesses to fill in the information gaps. Only a few of the original players are left. Two more of them join me and the Slaters for, utah travel agencies , lunch: Barnes, formerly an Area 51 special-projects engineer, with his wife, Doris; and Martin, one of those overseeing the OXCART's specially mixed jet fuel (regular fuel explodes at, utah travel agencies , extreme height, temperature and speed), with his wife, Mary.

Area 51. It's the most famous military institution in the world that doesn't officially exist. If it did, it would be found about 100 miles outside Las Vegas in Nevada's high desert, tucked between an Air Force base and an abandoned, utah travel agencies , nuclear testing ground. Then again, maybe notâ€" the U.S. government refuses to say. You can't drive anywhere close to it, and until recently, the airspace overhead was restrictedâ€"all the way to outer space. Any mention of Area 51 gets redacted from official documents, even those that have been declassified for, utah travel agencies , decades.It has become the holy grail for conspiracy theorists, with UFOlogists positing that the Pentagon reverse engineers flying saucers and keeps extraterrestrial, utah travel agencies , beings stored in freezers. Urban legend has it that Area 51 is connected by underground tunnels and trains to other secret facilities around the country. In 2001, Katie Couric told Today Show audiences that 7 percent of Americans doubt the moon landing happenedâ€"that it was staged in the Nevada desert. Millions of X-Files fans believe the truth may be "out there," but more likely it's concealed inside Area 51's Strangelove-esque hangarsâ€"buildings that, though confirmed by Google Earth, the government refuses to acknowledge. The problem is the myths of Area 51 are hard to dispute if no one can speak on the record about what actually happened there. Well, now, for the first time, someone is ready to talkâ€"in fact, five men are, and their stories rival the most outrageous of rumors. Colonel, utah travel agencies , Hugh "Slip" Slater, 87, was commander of the Area 51 base in the 1960s. Edward Lovick, 90, featured in "What Plane?" in LA's March issue, spent three decades radar testing some of the world's most famous aircraft (including the U-2, the, utah travel agencies , A-12 OXCART and the F-117). Kenneth Collins, 80, a CIA experimental test pilot, was given the silver star. Thornton "T.D." Barnes, 72, was an Area 51 special-projects engineer. And Harry Martin, 77, was one of the men in charge of the base's half-million-gallon monthly supply of spy-plane fuels. Here are a few of their best storiesâ€"for the record:On May 24, 1963, Collins flew out of Area 51's restricted airspace in a top-secret spy plane code-named OXCART, built by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. He was flying over Utah when the aircraft pitched, flipped and headed toward a crash. He ejected into a field of weeds.Almost 46 years later, in late fall of 2008, sitting in a coffee shop in the San Fernando Valley, Collins remembers that day with the kind of clarity the threat of a national security breach evokes: "Three guys came driving toward me in a pickup. I saw they had the aircraft canopy in the back. They offered to, utah travel agencies , take me to my plane." Until that moment, no civilian without a top-secret security clearance had ever laid eyes on the airplane Collins was flying. "I told them not to go near the aircraft. I said it had a nuclear weapon on-board." The story fit right into the Cold War backdrop of the day, as many atomic tests took place in Nevada. Spooked, the men drove Collins to the local highway patrol. The CIA disguised, utah travel agencies , the accident as involving a generic Air Force plane, the F-105, which is how the event is still listed in official records. As for the guys who picked him up, they were tracked down and told to sign national security nondisclosures. As part of Collins' own debriefing, the CIA asked the decorated pilot to take truth serum. "They wanted to see if there was anything I'd for-gotten about the events leading up to the crash." The Sodium Pento-thal, utah travel agencies , experience went without a hitchâ€"except for the reaction of his wife, Jane."Late Sunday, three CIA agents brought me home. One drove my car; the other two carried me inside and laid me down on the couch. I was loopy from the drugs. They handed Jane the car keys and left without saying a word." The only conclusion she could draw was that her husband had gone out and gotten drunk. "Boy, was she mad," says Collins with a chuckle.At the time of Collins' accident, CIA pilots had been flying spy planes in and out of Area 51 for eight years, with the express mission of providing the intelligence to prevent nuclear war. Aerial reconnaissance was a major part of the CIA's preemptive efforts, while the rest of America built bomb shelters and hoped for the best."It wasn't always called Area 51," says Lovick, the physicist who developed stealth technology. His boss, legendary aircraft designer Clarence L. "Kelly", utah travel agencies , Johnson, called the place Paradise Ranch to entice men to leave their families and "rough it" out in the Nevada desert in the name of science and the fight against the evil, utah travel agencies , empire. "Test pilot Tony LeVier found the place by flying over, utah travel agencies , it," says Lovick. "It was a lake bed called Groom Lake, selected for testing because it was flat, utah travel agencies , and far from anything. It was kept secret because the CIA tested U-2s there."When Frances Gary Powers was shot down over Sverdlovsk, Russia, in 1960, the U-2 program lost its cover. But the CIA, utah travel agencies , already had Lovick and some 200 scientists, engineers and pilots working at Area 51 on the A-12 OXCART, which would outfox Soviet radar using height, stealth and speed.Col. Slater was, utah travel agencies , in the outfit of six pilots who flew OXCART missions during the Vietnam War. Over a Cuban meat and cheese sandwich at the Bahama Breeze restaurant off the Las Vegas Strip, he says, "I was recruited for the Area after working with the CIA's classified, utah travel agencies , Black Cat Squadron, which flew U-2 missions over denied territory, utah travel agencies , in Mainland China. After that, I was told, 'You should come out to Nevada and work on something interesting we're doing out there, utah travel agencies , .' "Even though Slater considers himself a fighter pilot at heartâ€"he flew 84 missions in World War IIâ€"the opportunity to work at Area 51 was impossible to pass up. "When I learned about this Mach-3 aircraft called OXCART, it was completely intriguing to meâ€"this idea of flying three times the speed of sound! No one knew a thing about the program. I asked my wife, Barbara, if she wanted to move to Las Vegas, and she said yes. And I said, 'You won't see me but on the weekends,' and she said, 'That's fine!' " At this recollection, Slater laughs heartily. Barbara, dining with us, laughs, utah travel agencies , as well. The two, married for 63 years, are rarely apart today."We couldn't have told you any of this a year, utah travel agencies , ago," Slater says. "Now we can't tell it to you fast enough." That is because in 2007, the CIA began declassifying the 50-year-old OXCART program. Today, there's a scramble for eyewitnesses to fill in the information gaps. Only a few of the original players are left. Two more of them join me and the Slaters for, utah travel agencies , lunch: Barnes, formerly an Area 51 special-projects engineer, with his wife, Doris; and Martin, one of those overseeing the OXCART's specially mixed jet fuel (regular fuel explodes at, utah travel agencies , extreme height, temperature and speed), with his wife, Mary. Because the men were sworn to secrecy for so many decades,, utah travel agencies , their wives still get a kick out of hearing the secret tales.Barnes was married at 17 (Doris was 16). To support his wife, he became an electronics wizard, buying broken television sets, fixing them up and reselling them for five times the original price. He went from living in bitter poverty on a Texas Panhandle ranch with no electricity to buying his new bride a dream home before he was old enough to vote. As a soldier in the Korean War, Barnes demonstrated an uncanny aptitude for radar and Nike missile systems, which made him a prime target for recruitment by the CIAâ€"which indeed happened when he was 22. By 30, he was, utah travel agencies , handling nuclear secrets."The agency located each guy at the top of a certain field and put us together for the programs at Area 51," says Barnes.

How Is The Ontario Tourism Industry Changing With An Increase In Senior Citizen Travel?
Author: Joseph Rudkins

In the province of Ontario the travel and tourism industry is thriving. It is a 22 billion dollar a year business of tremendous importance to the province's economy. This year, roughly 436,300 Ontario workers will be employed either directly or indirectly in the travel and tourism industry. Additionally, Statistics Canada reports that overnight travel in Canada last year reached its highest level in more than a decade. While some may be concerned about the short-term negative effect of the highflying Canadian dollar on tourist traffic coming from the States, the long-term forecast for the travel industry is bright. Much of this optimism is due in large part to Canada's rapidly growing population, ontario travel agencies , of senior citizens. Over the last four years, leisure travel among Canada's baby, ontario, ontario travel agencies , travel agencies , boomers has increased by a whopping 25 percent. This trend will continue as the population of Canadian seniors is expected to grow from 4.2 million in 2004 to 9.8 million in 2036. Due to an, ontario travel agencies , increasing number of senior citizens travelling, the Ontario tourism industry is making changes to help accommodate this changing market.
This trend with an increase in Canadian seniors travelling is good news indeed for Ontario's tourism industry. Although industry studies, ontario travel agencies , have shown that Canadian seniors are travelling internationally in record numbers, the vast majority of trips taken by seniors are within their own home province. Seniors prefer to drive their own car and they tend to vacation for longer periods of time than the rest of the population, ontario travel agencies , . This is particularly beneficial to tourist operators, ontario travel agencies , in Ontario resort communities, like Muskoka and the Kawarthas, where the huge population base of Southern Ontario's Golden Horseshoe is located only a few hours away by car.
Many in the tourism industry have begun to realize the significance of the seniors, ontario travel agencies , travel market in Ontario and have started to specifically target this segment of the population. Senior travellers are not only important to the industry because of their sheer, ontario travel agencies , numbers; they are important because of their discretionary buying power. Today's seniors have both the money to spend and the time to spend it. Retired vacationers do not have to restrict their holidays to weekends and the summer months. Rather, they are able to, ontario travel agencies , travel off-season and during the week, times when many hospitality properties have higher vacancies and are happy to have their rooms filled with free-spending seniors.
So you may be asking yourself, "how is the Ontario tourism industry changing, due to the increase in senior citizen travel?" The answer is simple, senior, ontario travel agencies , friendly travel agencies, tour companies, resort properties, cruise-lines, and even small country inns have begun offering specialty services and packages that cater specifically to a senior clientele. Due to this change, and catering to a slightly different market, the tourism industry of Ontario is discovering that many senior travelers are even prepared to pay a slight premium for age-specific services.
While many businesses will continue to cater to a wide range of tourists including, those seeking romantic couple weekends, small conferences, special functions, and wedding parties, senior travellers are becoming a larger segment of the hospitality industry's business. Because senior citizens tend to stay at hospitality properties, ontario travel agencies , during quieter times, off-seasons,, ontario travel agencies , and midweek while booking for longer periods of time, this is simply a market that many businesses cannot afford to leave out. Unlike other age groups, seniors and older guests appreciate the convenience of having their meals onsite and many indulge in on-site activities including spa services. This brings even more funds to the inn or hotel; due to this, the increase in senior travel will continue to shape the way that Ontario's travel industry functions.
Over the next couple of decades, as the senior population itself ages, further changes will be necessary if Ontario's tourism industry is to continue to flourish. Vacation accommodations with assisted living and seniors' tours that cater to individuals with mobility issues may be viable marketing ideas in the years ahead.

Airport Code - What Does It All Mean?
Author: Margarette Tustle

If you are traveling and, dallas travel agencies , see the letters LAX, you may automatically know that they are the airport code for the airport in Los Angeles, California. But, do you know what CAK stands for?, dallas travel agencies , The code letters given to airports throughout not only the United States but also throughout the world have a very specific purpose and are used not only for communication but for safety issues as well.
Definition
A definition of the airport code: The three letters of the code serve as a "location identifier" that is recognized by airports, governments, and security officials all over the world. Every airport has a different code that is unique to it.
How Do Airports Get Their Codes?
It can be a very simple process, such as in the case of the Atlanta, Georgia airport-its code is ATL. However in cities with more than one airport or for multiple cities that are served by the same airport, or for cities that have the same beginning it gets a little more tricky. For instance, the Dallas/Fort Worth airport code is DFW. Sometimes, dallas travel agencies , the letters match the name of the airport like JFK for the John F. Kennedy, dallas travel agencies , Airport. At other times, the airport is given an airport code that relates its position east or west of the, dallas travel agencies , Mississippi. With the growth throughout the world, and the increase in the number of airports there are some changes being made to the coding system. Now, some airports have 4 letters, dallas travel agencies , in their airport code or a combination,, dallas travel agencies , dallas travel agencies , of letters and numbers to designate them.
What, dallas travel agencies , Is The History Of The Airport Coding System?
Back in the early 1900's the National Weather Service assigned two letter codes to different areas and cities for easy reference and to record weather information. The first three letter coding system was started back in the 1930's by the International, dallas travel agencies , Air Transport Association (IATA.) In the 1930's as airports began to spring up across the world, a need for an airport code became evident. For those areas that already had a two letter weather code, the letter "X" was added to the original two letters to make the new code-hence, LA became LAX.
How Is The Airport Code Used?
Travelers use it when they are making reservations for flights and when they are at the airport to check for flight times, cancellations and delays. Airline workers such as baggage handlers and check-in attendants, use it to get your luggage, dallas travel agencies , on the correct flight. Pilots use it to notify those who are watching radar of their destination. The airport code keeps passengers connected with their luggage, and also keeps the communication between airports, security personnel, travel agencies, consistent and organized.
Are There Any Other Special Rules?
Yes, there are many other rules about, dallas travel agencies , how the codes are assigned, but one that you might find interesting is that the United States military petitioned the government to have a special airport code system designated for them. Now all military airports have an additional letter on the front. For instance, Navy airports all have an N at the beginning, dallas travel agencies , of their code.
Airport coding is something that most of us never think about and probably take for granted a lot of the time. But the truth is, that it has made air travel easier not only for the passengers but for the airline workers, pilots, controllers, and so on. It allows people in different locations, who may speak different languages, to have a basic understanding of the travel system. So, the next time you fly, take a minute to think about the advantages of the coding system.
