19. Three Countries, One Airfare! October 10, 2008 What is it about the unknown that makes it, at times, seem so exciting? Is it the thought of standing at the foot of where the ocean breaks, staring up on the crescent moon and wondering what is on the other side of it?

21. Moelltal Glacier Ski Resort: Romance at the Summit October 02, 2008 This is not a mountain slope skiing resort. It is not an Alps skiing resort. It is a glacier skiing resort in which snow cover is complemented by another glacier, the Stubai. This means that during winter, the almost 6 miles of ski runs will have an excellent cover of snow, as well as six feet of snow base. But the snow cover, the snow base, and their pristine white landscape are not the reasons why the new ski resort of Moelltal Glacier is considered a very romantic ski resort. The romance is found at the summit. The summit of the new ski resort of Moelltal Glacier is located at about 2 ... (read more) Author: Gen Wright

23. Les 2 Alpes, France: From Schools To Slopes September 22, 2008 Les 2 Alpes translates in English as The Two Alps; however, the "2" here refers to the two smaller towns to the north and south, Mont De Lans and Venosc. Les 2 Alpes is popular for two reasons: 1) It is lucky enough to have Europe's largest glacier, Mont-de-Lans. It is ski-friendly because it provides open spaces for skiers. 2) Les 2 Alpes comes second to Chamonix as France's oldest ski resorts. Just because it comes as a close second, however, shouldn't take away from its grandeur. An underground funicular railway titled The Dome Express opened in the late 1990s. It operates in the winte...

September 19, 2008 The property in France has over the past twenty years increased exponentially in value; however this phenomenal rate of growth has ended.

25. Where Does Italian Food History Begin? September 08, 2008 Italy is one of the oldest countries in the world, and thanks to the geographical boundaries of the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps it has remained largely unchanged throughout history. Even during the Roman Empire, Italy was set apart. Legions that had been abroad always knew when they had returned to the mother country. Italian food history, however, reaches far beyond the country's borders. For starters, look at pasta. There is much historical debate on its origins, but many historians point to Marco Polo's voyages to the Far East, from which he returned with all manner of foreign spice...
