About twelve years ago, my wife and I were on our honeymoon in Maui. Maui was beautiful and we had a blast touring the island. During our trip, we chartered a sailing cruise and tried snorkeling for the first time. The cruise operator gave us the option of using a life jacket to snorkel, but the majority of us (including me) chose to snorkel without a life jacket. At first I was a little freaked out when I jumped in the water - I thought I was...more
"it's a small world" is one of the most beloved attractions at Disneyland. After 42 years, people from around the world still bake a beeline for this charming, low-tech, whimsical boat ride. Yet, in 2008 it was showing its age and in need of refurbishment. So the Disney Imagineers shut the ride down for some months as they made repairs, spruced up existing characters and scenes, and added a few subtle changes. In particular, Disneyland has added a couple dozen new "residents" to the "it's a small world" community. The ride re-opened to the Disneyland public in Friday. We took a ride through "small world" with a former cast member who had been a Lead and Trainer on the attraction. She helped us identify and photograph many of the changes. The exterior of "it's a small world" has not changed much, which apparently is just the way millions of visitors want it. There's some new paint and minor touches, but it still has the same quaint entrance. Despite the simple technology, guests to Disneyland just love this ride. Repairs included major work on the fiberglass flumes in which the boats travel; they were leaking water in surprising quantities we're told. There was no-doubt a lot of...more

Then, when someone visits us and comments, we have a storm of memories and notice what we have adapted to. I had such a moment when Fred started to detail his mother's visit...more

In the UK, finishing school and taking a gap year go together as naturally as tea and biscuits and rain during summer! In fact a national survey found that nearly three quarters of youngsters wanted to take a gap year, yet in the U.S, that's the same percentage of people who don't own passports! While some American students are catching on to the idea of a gap year, they are still having a hard time convincing everyone. Americans students are becoming increasingly frustrated at having to choose colleges early and then start straightaway in the September following high school graduation. Indeed, once college is done with most people go straight in to the world of work, taking a gap year will give you the opportunity for a change before all of that responsibility! Take a break from academic lifeWilliam Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions at Harvard, in an article called 'Time-out or burn-out for the next generation' advocates students take time out before attending college. "We believe that students use their opportunities in college much more effectively if they have had a chance to get some perspective and get away", he says. Currently only around 50 of the 1600 incoming freshmen...more
