Ave Madrid Valencia By: Samantha Dale
Today is the day Of AVE: Valencia to Madrid and vice versa will no longer have to fly, drive, or take a regular train. Spain’s super-fast AVE train service which currently runs from Malaga to Madrid in just under 2.5 hours will also link Spain’s orange capital with its national capital from December 19th onwards.
This week saw the inauguration of the section of the new track between Madrid and Cuenca and Albacete, a journey time of two hours using the country's high speed AVE trains. Francisco Camps (President of the Generalitat Valenciana), Jose Blanco (Minister of Public Works and Transport) and Juan Carlos I (King of Spain) visit this inaugural celebration.
The 90-minute trip (the new trains reach speeds of up to 205 mph) will increase in frequency, with eventually up to twenty trains departing on a daily basis. Passengers can choose between two service classes across twelve coaches with 365 seats in total. Club Class, in four coaches, will seat 71 passengers while the eight Tourist Class coaches offers 294 seats.
The AVE will slash the current journey time between Madrid and Valencia of three hours and forty-five minutes to a superfast 90 minutes - almost four times as fast as the regular rail service.
Valencia is on the up and up as a travel destination. Famous for its charming Gothic quarter and Renaissance buildings, like Barcelona it boasts an exciting architectural mix of old meets new. The region is famous for its orange groves (Valencia oranges make the best marmalade) and the beachside city has a world famous sailing harbour, port, and shopping and restaurants galore.
Valencia’s art nouveau mercado central is one of the best food markets in Europe, while the city’s futuristic City of Arts & Sciences designed by Valencia-born architect Santiago Calatrava is one of the most photographed modern cityscapes in Europe.
The City of Arts & Sciences is home to Europe’s largest aquarium, an interactive science museum, a planetarium with its own IMAX theatre, a state-of-the-art opera house and the Agora where the Valencia Open tennis tournament is held.
The marina underwent a massive makeover in time to host the international yacht race the Americas Cup in 2007 (it returned once again to Valencia this year) and the Valencia Grand Prix, which returns next June, is all the more exciting as drivers wind their way around an urban track which hugs the coastline around the port.
With its mix of activities, culture and over three hundred miles of beaches that stretch along the region’s coast, it is arguably one of Spain’s most varied and sophisticated beachfront cities. For those who haven’t visited, it’s an alternative to Barcelona well worth exploring.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-12-21)

Saving Money On A Walt Disney World Vacation By: Disney World Promotions Specialist
Although Walt Disney World is a magical place, it can be an expensive vacation destination. However, there are ways that you can save money on tickets and hotels in order to make the trip much more affordable. If you have always dreamed of taking your family to Walt Disney World for a vacation but have always thought that you could not possibly afford the trip, here are some tips to help you make your dream a reality.
Avoid Traveling During Busy Season
If possible, consider traveling during Disney's less busy seasons. Usually these time periods coincide with a tradition school schedule, so if you have school aged children make sure that their absences would be OK with their teachers. If you travel during the school year, you can often find some great deals on Disney vacations. One of the best times to travel to the magical world of Disney is during the first two weeks of December. Most families travel later in the month, once most children get off of school for the holidays. If you go to the parks early in the month, not only will you avoid the crowds, but you will still be able to see all of Disney's festive Christmas decorations. Package deals during Disney off-seasons are often surprisingly affordable.
Consider Season Passes
Although season passes to Disney World are quite expensive, if you are planning a long vacation they might actually help save you money. Disney tickets are so expensive on a daily basis that if your trip is longer than a week it is often cheaper to buy a season pass. For a vacation of a week or less, however, it is usually cheaper to buy individual Disney World tickets or to book a package deal.
Check Out Package Deals
Disney World packages can be a great way to save money on your family's next vacation. When you book a vacation package, you can save on your whole vacation. Instead of trying to cut corners by staying at a low-quality hotel or by just going to the parks for a day or two, a vacation package lets you save money while still enjoying a high-quality vacation. Booking Disney vacation packages is also a great way to save time. If you try to save money by looking for separate deals on tickets, hotel rooms, airfare, and rental cars, you will need to spend hours on the phone or online hunting for deals. Once you choose the perfect package, all of your travel arrangements will be settled. All you will need to do after you book your package is plan what attraction you want to visit first.
Do not give up on your dream of a Walt Disney World vacation for you and your family. You can make this trip affordable by traveling during the off-season or by booking Disney World packages. When you book a package deal, your vacation will be stress free and affordable.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-12-21)
