Bowling Anyone?

Norwegian to offer at sea bowling!

Fast-growing Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled what it called the first bowling lanes at sea on the 2,394-passenger Pearl, which sails out of Miami.

The move led USA Today to ponder other more unusual offerings cruise ships are coming up these days, including:

Royal Caribbean premiered the first boxing ring at sea in May when it launched the much-ballyhooed Freedom of the Seas, the world's largest ship.
The vessel also boasts the first "surfing pool" at sea — a pool with a constant, machine-made wave.
Carnival recently just unveiled Water Wars, a water-balloon battle game complete with "battle stations" that's popular at theme parks. It launched on two ships, the Imagination and Fascination, and will be fleet-wide by next summer.
The line also has been adding its first miniature golf courses on ships (a concept pioneered by Royal Caribbean) and plans to roll that out fleet-wide, too.

Qantas Wins This Family Over!

Kim and I and the boys spent Christmas with Kim's family in Toronto. We then decided that a start up in a foreign land wasn't hard enough so felt that flying 29 hours door to door to visit my family in Sydney was the perfect way to see out 2006, welcome in 2007 and really test the efficacy of Gravol and Dimetapp.
To all in rows 23 to 28 on the Toronto to LA leg - apologies. And to those in rows 53 to 56 on the LA - Sydney leg - again, if we could compensate you, we would. In all seriousness, the kids did great.

Record US Travel Expected Over Holidays

More Americans will travel this Christmas-New Year's holiday than ever before, according to AAA.

The group estimates that 64.9 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the holidays, a 2.2% increase from last year's 63.5 million travelers.

"Because hotel rates and air fares have risen only slightly from this time last year, Americans will not hold back when making travel arrangements this holiday season," said AAA Oregon Senior Vice President Beth Van Horn.

Beautiful Helsinki

As the capital of Finland, Helsinki offers countless ways to spend your holiday: it is, for instance, a centre of artistic culture in Scandinavia, with a number of museums and galleries to visit. It also affords various settings for visitors to enjoy; from a remarkable cityscape to natural parks and preserves. However, despite its large size, Helsinki is an intimate city - and while it is carries a lively atmosphere, it's not particularly bustling. This makes the city particularly easy to walk around and so enjoy its various attractions, cafés and marketplaces at leisure. It's also an ideal holiday destination for individuals, couples and families. Boasting such attractions as the Linnanmäki amusement park, the Merimaailma Sea Life aquarium and the Korkeasaari Helsinki Zoo, children - as well as adults - can take delight in Helsinki's countless splendours.
