| | As the Turks and Caicos Islands Turn | | 2008-08-20 13:20:00 | | Yesterday Essence.com released previously unpublished photos of injures LisaRaye McCoy-Misick sustained on Providenciales, including bruises and bite marks said to be left by her soon to be ex-husband Premier Michael Misick (note that Premier Misick was also treated for injuries sustained at this fight). Last week a women's group on Providenciales issued a press statement and video denouncing the former First Lady, claiming that she never did anything for the people of Turks and Caicos.It was a picture perfect wedding and a lovely two years, marred by a few allegations of infidelity but around here that's typical. But I sense that the people of this small adopted Caribbean country of mine briefly forgot that when an American actress is involved the world will become involved. Every video, every photo, every comment, every statement is being analyzed by millions of people.Interesting timing, though. Everyone seems to have forgotten that the Premier is being investigated for corrupti... | | By: Pilates & Reiki In Paradise Blog | | |

| Custom Kitchen Islands | | 2008-06-10 18:52:00 | | Just about every kitchen island is custom (unless you're using a movable island that you can buy off the shelf), in the sense that it is unlike any other, and is made to fit your space and needs. Custom kitchen islands cover a range from the completely custom-made and custom-finished island to match your custom cabinets, to a much more economical island made out of standard size cabinets and countertops assembled in creative ways.How to Customize Your IslandYou can use any arrangement of wall and/or base cabinets which fits your space, to form the base of your kitchen island. Then you can customize it in many ways:ShapeChange levels on part of the island, up to bar height or down to table heightMake the island an unusual shape. Who says everything has to be rectangular? Try angles and curves: mock up the shape with cardboard and tape to see how it looks and how it works.MaterialsCombine more than one counter-top material: perhaps a butcher-block prep area with a marble slab for pastryC... | | By: free home advice- home tips | | |

| | Canary Islands - Hot For Summer 2008 | | 2008-05-29 23:49:00 | | By: John Palmer-7925The data is in, and many European and UK holiday makers aren't surprised...according to research done by a major travel company, the Canary Islands top the charts as a favourite winter holiday destination. In particular, the two islands of Tenerife and Lanzarote draw a lion's share of the tourist crowd, and the tourist Euros.This is despite the fact that tourist numbers were down somewhat in 2007 from the previous year. Speculation as to the reason for the slump in tourism in 2007 ranges in opinion. However, with the drop amounting to a mere 2 per cent, tourism officials are confident that 2008 holds greater promise. The tourism industry, and hotel and tour operators in particular, are gearing up for a busy year. This confidence is reflected by companies like Spanair that plan to increase flights into the islands this spring.Perhaps this is why the month of January saw so many travel deals being snapped up. Flight costs were slashed and tour packages vamped up to at... | | By: Best Countries | | |

The country occupies an archipelago with two sizable islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, where the majority of inhabitants live, and is joined by over eight hundred islands, with about one hundred regularly inhabited.

| | Cruising the Greek Islands | | 2008-04-29 02:48:00 | | Islands are fewer and further apart in the northern Aegean. If you want to pack more isles into a week at sea, consider Hebridean Spirit's Legacies of the Cyclades itinerary. This one starts and finishes in Rhodes, hopping through the Dodecanese and Cyclades islands by way of Halki, Folegandros, Syros, Mykonos, Amorgós and Nisyros. Plenty of variety here: Rhodes Old Town is one of the most stunning medieval survivals in Europe. Ermoupoli on Syros is an odd time-warp port – it was once the most important entrepôt in Greece, and it conceals the faded grandeur of its 19th-century neo-Classical heyday behind the clutter of a working seaport.I have been keeping quiet about Folegandros and Amorgós for many years, but the cat has crept out of the bag – these are two of the loveliest and least-visited of the Cyclades, and their whitewashed villages put more commercialised islands to shame.

| | There's much more to Greece than islands | | 2007-10-29 11:42:00 | | Athens, a big ugly city, has obligatory ancient sights (the hilltop temple of the Acropolis, and the ruined forum of the Agora); an extremely touristy old quarter (the Plaka); and fine museums — the best in the country. Its four million people sprawl where no tourist ventures, including new immigrant zones with poor yet thriving communities. The joy of Greece is outside of Athens. See it and scram.Delphi is a touristy little mountain resort with a breathtaking, mountainous setting. It's a long way to drive (three hours from Athens) for some ancient ruins. But learning about the oracle (whom the ancients consulted for advice) and being there in the empty cool of the early evening, you know why, in ancient times, this was considered the center of the world.

| | New Housing on Resort Islands | | 2007-07-30 02:11:13 | | FOR decades, hotels seemed as intrinsic to the landscape of the island of Martha’s Vineyard as its wide beaches and finger-shaped lagoons. Ditto for Nantucket, 10 miles farther out to sea to the southeast, where bed-and-breakfast places and stately inns crowded the wide cobblestone streets. Yet in an increasingly common trend, many of these longtime lodgings are either closing outright or drastically scaling back the number and availability of their rooms.

| | Hawaii’s other islands | | 2007-07-26 10:15:59 | | From this side of the world, there is just “Hawaii” but what we know of Hawaii is just one of the islands in the chain (Oahu) and the others are very different from that one.
Kauai is very different. Here you’ll find a much quieter type of holiday with resorts giving you the chance to have a beach holiday but in a beautiful island setting. Although the whole Hawaii chain of islands looks pretty small on the map, some of the islands are quite large and all of them have so much to do that we’ll only be looking at a small area of Kauai which should give you a good feel of what the island is like.
As with all the islands in the group, Kauai has all the beaches that you’d expect with water sports, snorkeling (in beautifully clear waters) and, of course, the scenery. National parks abound and near Poipu you’ll find the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Along with the other islands you’ll find lava formations and Spouting Horn is worth a visit to se... | | By: Foreign Perspectives | | |
