Thinking about spending time in Marrakech, Morocco reminds us of the many movies that have been made with the sand dune land scape. There is always someone chasing someone else through the red, orange and amber hews of the endless hills of sand. The subjects are all dressed in robe-like attire with head dresses and flowing scarves blowing in the wind and they ride their camel to safety.

Today, in real life, visiting the sand dunes is a completely different experience. The tours from hotels in Marrakech will pick you up and sweep you out onto the red sand in off road vehicles like jeeps and quads. If you go with a company that specializes in touring the area such as Dunes and Desert you will have the chance to see the desert area in many different ways.

They offer off road  as well as other adventures like trekking and water rafting. They have hiking trips that last from one day, for the easy level to 3 days, which takes on the more advanced level of hiking. Just when you thought the desert didn’t have any water you will be pleasantly surprised on the water rafting trip down the near by rivers. Check with the marrakech hotels for a more romantic adventure, there are still some great camel tours that, for most, would be a trip of a life time.

If you’ve just arrived in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, and want to orient yourself to the cultural and natural offerings of this country, then a first day trip to the National Museum of the Philippines may be an excellent way to start.

Established nearly 110 years ago, in 1901, the museum’s own history parallels the course of the turbulent 20th Century — beginning as the Insular Museum of Ethnology, Natural History and Commerce, and renamed the Philippine Museum in 1904. At various times, the museum was renamed and, at times, abolished altogether, especially during the Japanese occupation during World War II. In 1945, though, after the liberation of the Philippines, the museum was re-established.

Today, the museum’s main purpose is to aid in the creation of cultural consciousness, instilling pride among the Filipino citizenry with exhibits and events that promote culture, education, and the sciences. It’s divided into two buildings — the Old Congress Building (containing arts and natural sciences), and the former Finance Building (housing the sections devoted to anthropology and archaeology). In the section known as the National Museum of the Filipino People, you’ll discover exhibits focusing on the history and culture of the Philippines.

In order to get to the museum, a cab is recommended from the Manila hotels to Valenciana Circle (aka Agrifina Circle) in Rizal Park. It’s an excellent way to achieve an in-depth understanding of the nation. Be sure, though, to arrive at least before 3:30 in the afternoon. The museum closes at about 4 p.m., and to truly appreciate all the museum has to offer, you’ll certainly want to spend more than half an hour.

While in Jerusalem you will more than likely be visiting the Tower of David. This adventure could take you some time. You may want to head over in the later afternoon because as the night settles in on this impressive historical landmark, special activities light up.

People come into the jerusalem hotels from all over the world to explore this amazing place. They get a chance to see the history of Jerusalem and learn things that they may not have read about. They can plug into the audio tour as they move through the different exhibits and learn more about what they are seeing.

The Tower of David is the center of 4000 years of Jerusalem history as well as more modern life. There are often special activities going on at different times of the year. At night the citadel is light up with brilliant lights as music plays making it a wonderfully romantic experience. An incredible journey not to be missed.

For anyone who’s ever had to drive across the country, in either direction, the first thing that people notice about Kansas is that it’s long. It’s so long, in fact, that it’s the second, third, and fourth thing that people notice. Sometimes, that’s the only impression. A lot of corn fields, and some small towns. But for anyone who’s ever stopped in Kansas, it’s clear that this is one of the most pleasant places anyone could ever set foot.

There are very good reasons why people from the state have a reputation that precedes them, where courtesy and intelligence come with equal measure. Down to earth is a good description of almost every town, and even the big cities are down to earth in their own way. It makes it a great place to visit, and a great place for hotels. Kansas is a place of very comfortable surprises, and there are times of the year when it’s just delightful.

One of the most interesting community events here, or any place for that matter, happens on Fat Tuesday every year. In the olden days it was called Shrove Tuesday, for the shriving of sins to start off lent with a clean slate. In Liberal, Kansas, they still call it Shrove Tuesday, just as they do in Olney, England. On this day, both cities participate in an international competition, a Pancake Race .

On this day, over 500 years ago in Olney, so the story goes, a woman was making pancakes before church services. She was using all the fats available, since no one could cook with these during the lenten season. When she was almost done, the bells sounded, and she had to run to church to avoid being late. She grabbed the skilled, flipped it once, and carried it with her, pancake firmly in tow, and benefiting from the simmering heat.

This event’s what has inspired the people of Olney to hold the same race every year, and in 1950, Liberal, Kansas was invited to take part. It’s a competition between the cities, judged by video, and the people of both countries see it as a way to produce mutual understanding between nations. It’s also an excuse to have a great party. The times for running the 415 yards are recorded , and lists of all the years are kept. There are also talent shows, concerts, kids races, and lots and lots of pancakes.
