A new $2 billion resort in the Bahamas is expected to compete with the long-established Atlantis on Paradise Island.

The project represents the largest single-phase development in the Caribbean.

It represents an "unprecedented joint venture," said Hotel Online, that will create a "unique metropolis in its setting, design, operation and services."

Baha Mar Resorts Ltd. says it finalized an agreement with casino operator Harrah's Entertainment Inc. and hotelier Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. to build the resort.

Baha Mar will be a mixed-use project on a 1,000-acre site in Nassau.

"They have done a good job, and they are a big project sitting on Paradise Island," Baha Mar Resorts President Don Robinson told Reuters. "We provide an alternative in the Bahamas other than Atlantis."

"This ... will only add to the overall tourism draw to the region," said a spokesman for Atlantis.

Hotel PrestonA hotel rating of 3 stars conjures up images of more comfort that your
average run - of - the - mill hotel. You would probably expect a king
sized bed, enough space to not need to stack your luggage, and staff
that is competent and english speaking. You probably don't expect firm
mattresses with down pillow tops, a half dozen pillows of various
density (including down), a room the size of your average living room,
or those cool curved shower rods that give you elbow room while
lathering up your locks.

Mmmm... Dives... OBX Part II PDF Print E-mail

Dives. The word itself conjures many different images. Greg Louganis knocking his head on the diving board at the 1984 Olympics. Jacque Cousteau diving down in his little submarine looking for new sea creatures. That biker bar on route 6. But for me dive means "i'm willing to take a chance on this place because chances are they care more about the food than aesthetics."

“You want massage?” the smiling lady with the husky hands asked me for the fifth time that day on the beach. I was about to kindly say no again, as I had said previously to the pineapple seller, sarong peddler, and bead hawker, when I suddenly realized how nuts this was. My fear of staggering off the beach, dripping in sarongs and pineapple juice, while the hawkers hi-fived each other, wasn’t proving rational. The sun was setting over the water, the price was certainly right (maybe $2), and after all I was on a beach in Thailand. Image

The Magic KingdomWho doesn’t like Disneyland?! My husband and I recently took a trip to beautiful Anaheim, CA for a short getaway. We had some free flights with Southwest so we made a spur of the moment decision to take off. We booked a hotel and Disneyland Park package through www.disneyland.com.

Cheesey... PDF Print E-mail

Brian Setzer
Brian Sezter at Pat's King of Steaks...
Today I take you on a journey to the city of brotherly love...Philadelphia where they are famous for the Liberty Bell, Idependence Hall and a little thing called a Philly Cheese Steak. In Philadelphia locals take their cheese steak very seriously. VERY.

When I found myself in Philly I had to have one of these. There are two famous establishments that claim to be the best. Geno’s Steaks and Pat’s King of Steaks. The ironic thing is these two places are located less than 100 yards from each other. They have been that way for years (Pats opened in 1931 and Geno’s followed 10 years latter). In Philly you are a Pat’s or a Geno’s fan. Kind of like Yankees – Red Sox. You just can’t like them both!
