Any recommend for travel at HAWAII???

Hello! I wanna know the information about travel in Hawaii or any interesting places in hawaii that u can recommend me. I want the information to use in my presentation at school about ” the interesting place and how to go there?” Can you tell me as much as you can?? i need your help so much… Hope to hear the answer from you as soon as possible.
P.S >> I already check at the website but that’s not good enough. They dont have the information but they just try to sell a package.

Is there a travel web site that will let you book air and hotel packages for multi destinations?

I am going Hawaii, but to two different islands and want to book my trip as a package (air+hotel) but am unable to find a web site that will let me do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheapest time to travel to Hawaii?

My husband and I want to travel to Oahu, Hawaii (on a budget), some time in the next few months for about 7-10 days or so (some time between Oct and Jan but we are flexible). Does anyone know when is the best time to travel there? Where would be the best place to find cheap flights? Would it be cheaper to buy air tickets separately and then find a hotel/condo/rental apartment to stay in or to buy a package that includes flight and hotel?
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Haha sorry! We’re leaving from Minneapolis, MN

compare honeymoon package prices for all travel websites at once?

I’m going to hawaii soon and want the least expensive package price but I’d rather not have to go from website to website to do it….is there a place on the internet to view all travel website prices at once?

Where can we find all exclusive honeymoon packages?

We want a package to Hawaii for 2. In this package we want Flight, Hotel, and Meals. Activities do not have to be included. We really don’t want to spend more than $1500.00 a person. I know we can go to a travel agent. If you think that is a good idea please give reasons.

Ladies, what do you think….what would YOU do?

Hello all,

Firstly this may be a strange question to ask in this forum, but I want to ask people who are in the same shoes as I am, and I am a mother of one soon to be a mother of two (2nd girl due next week by c-section). So that’s why I’m asking here.
So, although originally my whole family was due to fly out for the birth and visit with me (I live in Greece, my parents are in the UK working, and my brother, sister and partners are in Australia where I am from) my brother and his partner calls me 6 weeks ago (when I was 7.5m pregnant, and tells me they aren’t coming because they really just cant afford it, they are getting married instead, they are cashing in the ticket for a honeymoon holiday credit and are getting married before the years end.
Now them not coming doesnt upset me apart from not having the opportunity to visit, they’ve already come out to visit twice for my first girl and my own wedding, so I absolutely understand. But the fact that they decide to get married whilst I am ready to drop, and schedule it barely after I would go in for my 6 week checkup… has just thrown me!
Now I am not asking whether its fair or not, I am one person out of many they have to consider and their own happiness is of course paramount. But I have decided not to go and I wonder if any of you would decide the same as me…?
My reasons for not going are as follows;

Travelling to Australia barely 2 months after a c-section, with a 2 month old baby and an unbelievably rambunctious, prone to tantrums, heavy with the ‘terrible twos’ 2 and a half year old.

Travelling without my husband (is on a strict job contract, holidays taken for the birth of the baby) even though my parents did offer to fly out from the UK to travel with my from Athens.

My parents only have 2weeks left of annual leave, having taken the other weeks earlier in the year, not knowing about the sudden wedding….so I would be going through such a journey for only 2 weeks.

Obviously my second born does not have a passport, and I would have to literally race around like crazy getting one as soon as I left the hospital to get it in time (there are no online applications in Greece and turn around times for public offices are insane, also I live on a Greek island and would have to travel back and forth to the next bigger and more populated island to put through papers in person)

My recovery for my first c-section was horrible, perhaps because it was an emergency c-section. I had nightmares, I was depressed, I felt like a failure. I didn’t want to deal with all the people around me coming to congratulate me, I wanted them all to go away and just to be with my parents and my husband. I rolled out of bed for weeks, and my scar hurt for weeks when I accidently exerted the muscles in that area and smarted for months…say if my husband picked me up to hug me or if I lifted something too heavy. It was an physical and emotional rollercoaster. I know some women recover quickly and without too much of an issue….but it wasnt like that for me!

Lastly, it would all have to go on my credit card, all our money is gone on the new baby and the building of our new house. Now if it was just the money….it would not stop me from going, but it just adds another weight on my back since I have been a stay at home mother since I had my first.

Its breaking my heart not to go, but I thought atleast I could spend the next year to plan for a trip out next Winter when I will physically fit and the newborn will be a toddler and I could stay for a month or two and have saved all year for it. And there is a good chance my husband could come with me obviously have a years notice for his work commitments. Also seeing as my soon-to be sister in law has been desperate for kids forever, we might learn in the year that she is pregnant and plan our trip around the arrival!

What do you think ladies? Do you think my decision not to go is fair enough? I’ve been so torn up about it ever since they told me, had they decided to have it a few months later or atleast if I could have had a VBAC, I would probably have gone, but with all these obstacles, I thought that I just cant. I also just dont want to subject my new baby to it all, being so young and susceptible etc. And the wedding is a 3hr car drive from where we live in Sydney to boot.

sigh…..so what are your thoughts??
oh by the way..the travelling would be -
2hr ferry to the nearest island with airport alone
1hr flight to Athens, alone
5hr flight to Dubai, with parents
7hr flight to Singapore
7hr flight to Sydney

What is the worst case scenario a sociopath can have on their sibling(s)?

Additional Details
my mother is a liar, a control freak, always 10 steps ahead. you communicate to her that somethng is vital and she is in outterspace doing the complete opposite intentionally. im old enough to know that she is the devil and this is how she has opertated since birth. if any of you think this is 14 school girl **** you need to take your *** to that forum yourself. my mother is in politics. my sister has lived in the mountains since graduating highschool. she uses that lax atmosphere of the mountains, country, college to disguise herself… same with the lesbian thing. lesbians think she is a stalker and she acted out sexually to imo intentionally get pregant by a black person and got an abortion. she is a psychopath and as if it isnt enough to deal with her growing up she has ruined my adulthood – the rest of my life almost from the start… it didnt take long… as soon as nice intelligent boy turns man doing great things at university and close to marriage… she..

27 minutes ago
killed me with the gun that doesnt make any noise. i went from being able to dunk a basketball and run 10 miles faster than most college atheletes to gaining 100 lbs and still going. she doesnt have problems with the law. though she does house a large amount of marijuana growing supplies in her attic – atleast she did for 10 years or so. obviously she will continue to do ****** up ****. everytime i am around her she tries to attack me somehow. ive heard/read that **** is deeply rooted in the mother. they are both dyslexic. my parents havent had sex in who knows how long – all of them are alcoholics.

24 minutes ago
im the one with the great life… i was going to a university, i am a very good musician, traveled, outstanding athlete in several sports, i was dating a girl i was in love with… she is great. but im dying here, literally. what is the worst that could happen – silently? where i end up in jail for stupid **** or kill myself? i end up the person everyone used to admire and fond of to the person everyone hates and pisses on my grave.

18 minutes ago
they are all that ****** up. my father is alcoholic, ocd, gay, GOP, with a schizophrenic brother

there are probably countless other psychiatric terms/things here but they are all narcissistic and dont do anything about it or speak about it. dysfunction and denial… again, mother is in politics, comes from a wealthy family et all

16 minutes ago
i wanted to add… that i am notorious, pretty much famous in home towns… and i travel/have traveled alot. i am someone who does far and beyond good with the women…. however, like i said… perhaps close to marriage. this **** is bad. for someone who is a sucess… to wind up dying before i turn 30. infallable to almost anything… what is the worst case scenario?

Who here wants the AFL to get rid of the Pre-season comp (Bullsh!t Cup) and have a longer & fairer season?

There are some user’s that know my opinion on this….I have stated and commented about this topic for 2yrs on this forum.
I just want to know what do you think….leave it or dump it?
Please don’t say that we need to have The Bullsh!t Cup, because its the only way to see how the young and untried players perform.
The current fixtures are always unfair, some clubs don’t play each other twice, 1 club always gets a very good deal….only leaves Vic 4 times a year, whereas another Vic teams has to travel interstate at least 6 to 8 times a season.
Enough of my ramble…….I am not a fan of Pre-season comp.
Edit….I just LOVE to see Collingwood travell 6 to 8 times interstate during the 22 round season. Go to Perth and Brisbane in the same season must be a BIG NO, NO.
campdog1

I understand what you wrote…..but I am sick of all these rule changes or even trial changes. Why is there a need to change the rules?
It seems that the AFL has to change a rule or 2, for the sake of it.
vaughy

Excellent point…….What is the point of the split round anyway?
To everyone else….

Thanx 4 your comments, there are some really good points.

Being around my family is so emotionally draining..?

I’m 16. I am a very right-brained kind of person. I’m creative, especially when it comes to things like music and art, but not logical at all. I’m an extreme introvert; I crave being alone with peace and quiet. I tend to be very compassionate about things.. people, animals, even plants sometimes, and I always want to help those who are in trouble or hurting. I absolutely can’t stand it when people fight, especially over trivial things; it makes me want to run away and hide. I also tend to zone out a lot and fantasize about the future and create these perfect little scenarios in my head of how things should be. And I crave adventure. I want to travel the world and experience so many different things. If you’re familiar with the Myers Briggs personality test, I’m a classic INFP: introvert, intuitive, feeler, perceiver.

Everyone else in my family is pretty much the exact opposite, especially my parents (I have one brother). They’re all very left-brained and structured, and they don’t seem to care about having fun. They’re perfectly content to have a set schedule and never change things up. They’re also very cynical about things, where I’m an optimist. They don’t mind loud noises, and blast the volume on the tv a lot, and I can’t stand it because I just want peace and quiet. They tend to bicker a lot over little things, which I also can’t stand. Plus, they can never see things my way at all.

I’m basically around my family 24/7. It’s rare that all of them are gone at once. I’m starting to find that being around them so much is really taking a toll on me. I love them, but since I’m the only one with my personality type, and I have almost nothing in common with them, it really frustrates me and makes me sad. I’m sure it’s not so fun for them being around me, either, but they never act like it bothers them. I just feel like it’s three against one, and my feelings don’t really matter as much, so I stifle them just to keep the peace. I stay by myself up in my room a lot, listening to music or whatever.

I have one best friend, but she lives far away and I don’t see her a lot. I haven’t found many people in real life who I can really connect with, who are “one of my kind” I guess you’d say. I found an online forum for people with my personality type, and it’s almost scary how much I can relate to them. But that doesn’t help me in real life. :/

What do you think I should do? I’ll probably be moving out of the house in a couple of years when I graduate, but until then, it’s really, really getting me down. And now I’m afraid I sound selfish because I’m only focusing me dealing with their problems instead of them dealing with my own problems that probably irritate them, too.
And I’m sorry it’s so long.. I didn’t realize it until just now.

travel best company for last minute deals?

i would like to book a last minute holiday and I was wondering who really does the best last minute deals as I am on a tight budget thanks in advance

Is there a travel site that lets you search for best last minute deals to anywhere in your price range?

I always plan my adventures about a month before I go. I never know where I want to go, just that if I can afford to visit somewhere new I’ll do it. Most of the time I search each airline for the deal they have going on because putting different locations in and different dates on sites like kayak take me forever. Is there an easier way to do this? Is there a website that helps you plan an adventure anywhere on a budget? I haven’t been able to find one.

How soon can I travel to Korea (Seoul) with US passport (need visa?)?

I saw a last minute travel deal to Seoul, Korea. Do I need to buy tickets weeks ahead (I have US passport) or three days is fine? Thanks for help!

Where can I find Airline Travel deals?

Question: I want to score last minute flight deals. I am not talking about “I want to go (insert destination here) at the last minute” but “Hey there are 2 or 4 seats left on this flight and we want to sell them for super cheap”. It doesn’t matter the destination. Do airlines still do this? Where can I find these deals? HELP! Thanks!

last minute travel ideas?

Anyone ever turned up at the airport and bought a package deal off an operator? any good? i’m a lone traveller and not sure how to get a good deal, I have some unplanned time off so i can go anywhere, was thinking of just turning up at the airport, anyone ever done this? open to ideas

HURRICANE DANIEL HEADED for HAWAII?

WHY is no weather station reporting this hurricane news????
this web site NOAA in Honolulu http://www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl/cphc/ has been posting advisories since 18 July. it is packing 125mph winds, traveling towards Hawaii now at 12mph, expected to hit the Big Island on Friday…and has such a large diameter it could hit Maui at the same time it totally covers the Big Island. Pretty irresponsible NON govt reporting if you ask me, in the wake of Katrina mess which has STILL not been cleaned up….people in Hawaii need to prepare for this regardless of whether if we are lucky it will veer off and go out to sea further, and stop increasing it’s mass and winds. At 4am today it was moving at 10mph, now it’s moving at 12mph….7 hours later.

If Pakistan is so safe how do you explain US state department travel advisory?

Are the roads closed when a blizzard warning is in effect?

LEVEL 3 (Snow Advisory)
All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving during this condition unless it is absolutely necessary or a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report for work. Anyone traveling on the roads may subject themselves to arrest —http://www.butlersheriff.org/geninfo/gen_info_snow_defs.htm
That is the definition of a level 3 snow advisory, but what about a blizzard, isn’t that worse? Is a blizzard considered a level 3?
Or does anyone know if the roads in batesville, Indiana are or will be closed or impassable before midnight tonight?

Winter Storm Questions?

Okay, so I live in Western Pennsylvania, and we are getting this winter storm. My county is in a Winter Storm Warning, but counties south and east are in Winter Weather Advisories and even the county farthest south is under no advisory. I was wondering, why when a winter storm travels more south from us, we have colder air, which makes it an all snow event? But, today it tracked farther north towards us and that caused warmer air to move in in the southern counties and cause a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and just plain rain. While where I live it’s all snow. Why does this happen when it goes south or comes closer to us?

Would you as landlords take a chance on this tenant applicant?

I posted an add for my two bedroom townhouse on CL. I man called me last week saying he was currently living in a property in town in which the owners had been killed in a car accident (true story which was on the news). He stated the property was in probate because the owners were deceased and he had no idea if he was going to get put out due to foreclosure. He mentioned that he was a minister going through a divorce and his credit was a bit shakey but he needed to move asap. He also told me he was working with the New Orleans redevelopment plan and traveled back and forth from my state to Louisiana weekly to work for about four days. In small talk, he mentioned his 30 year-old daughter recently went blind and then he began to compliment me on how smart I sounded since I understood what his group was attempting to do in the rebuilding of New Orleans. Then he says he could send me documentation of all the projects and proposals they were working on as proof of business, plus he wanted my opinion on the matter since I have knowledge of such things. He sent me 12 emails of this stuff. Then he says he was willing to pay two months rent to get started, though I was only asking for the first month’s rent and a $650 deposit. Upon googling his name I discovered that he had had ties to Dr. Henry Lyons in the late 90s. He THEN asked me what I did for a living because I sounded pretty intelligent and he was not having much luck dealing with certain people who understood his business. He said he would be flying back into town in a couple of days and would like to meet to check out the property. However, he calls me the next morning at 930am leaving a message asking me to email him an application. I ignored his call and the three other ones that followed. I was able to use my public database to check out his business credentials and he does have a legitimate business in downtown New Orleans. However, I also saw where he was arrested in 1997 for trying to buy $20 worth of cocaine from an undercover cop.

Knowing all of this, would you have taken a chance and rented to this guy or ignored him like I did?

Can any of one of you read this story i made and tell me your opinions?

As you are reading this please let me know some errors i may need to correct. thanks!

“When one door closes, another one opens”

August 29, 2005 my whole life began to change. I found myself trembling in fear as tears run down my face. My family was right beside me, praying and waiting for a relief, as a monstrous stormed named Hurricane Katrina began to take its place. As all of this was happening, we thought the world was coming to an end. Luckily, there was a moral that I learned from this catastrophe, which changed my whole life and future.
Saturday morning, we were jumping with joy, not knowing we were jumping for doom as our parents were finally leaving us. They were about to travel very far to Maryland. It was not very often that our parents would travel. This meant that we should make good use of our time. No one was there to restrict us from doing anything we desired. We could watch movies and talk on the phone as much as we wanted. We did not have to hear these four despised words for once, “Go read your books.”
Everything went really smoothly. The only thing which made the day horrible was my five younger little brats. They were causing so much chaos. The whole house was a mess. Fortunately, I had my siblings cooperate with me to get the house clean.
Sunday afternoon, I was really looking forward to going outside. As I stepped outside the house, I noticed the gray clouds covering the bright, shining sun. Unfortunately, I made my way back into the house. I decided to watch a few On Demand movies for the remainder of the time.
As I was watching my movie, the phone happened to ring. It was my Aunty Kenny,

sounding really concerned. She asked, “Where is your mom and dad?” I told her that they were in Maryland, and that they wouldn’t be back until Monday. So, she ended the conversation by saying, “Thank you.”
Thirty minutes later, my mother called the house. She wanted to know everything that we had done, since she had left. Surprisingly, I happened to tell her the truth. All of sudden she began to yell at me through the phone. She yelled, “Do you not know that a hurricane is heading toward our city!” I became speechless and scrolled down to channel three.
I did not really worry much about the hurricane. Almost all the hurricanes, which came to New Orleans, was not really much of a big deal. Unfortunately, I began to have doubts about this one.
This hurricane, which was ready to make the landfall the next day, began to concern me. When I began to wonder about the other hurricanes, which had hit Florida a few weeks ago, I thought about the large amount of damage that occurred right after the storm. Therefore, I was hoping that the type of damage, which had happened in Florida, would not happen in Louisiana. My main concern happened to be whether or not if my parents would come home in time to save us from this incoming storm.

“When one door closes, another one opens”
August 29, 2005 my whole life began to change. I found myself trembling in fear as tears run down my face. My family was right beside me, praying and waiting for a relief, as a monstrous storm named Hurricane Katrina began to take its place. As all of this was happening, we thought the world was coming to an end. Luckily, there was a moral that I learned from this catastrophe, which changed my whole life and future.
Saturday morning, we were jumping with joy, not knowing we were jumping for doom as our parents were finally leaving us. They were about to travel very far to Maryland. It was not very often that our parents would travel. This meant that we should make good use of our time. No one was there to restrict us from doing anything we desired. We could watch movies and talk on the phone as much as we wanted. We did not have to hear these four despised words for once, “Go read your books.”
Everything went really smoothly. The only thing which made the day horrible were my five younger little brats. They were causing so much chaos. The whole house was a mess. Fortunately, I had my siblings cooperate with me to get the house clean.
On Sunday afternoon, I was really looking forward to going outside. As I stepped outside the house, I noticed the grey clouds covering the bright, shining sun. Unfortunately, I made my way back into the house. I decided to watch a few movies on demand for the remainder of the time.
Uhiara 2
As I was watching my movie, the phone just so happened to ring. It was my Auntie Kenny, sounding really concerned. She asked, “Where are your mom and dad?” I told her that they were in Maryland, and that they wouldn’t be back until Monday. So, she ended the conversation by saying, “Thank you.”
Thirty minutes later, my mother called the house. She wanted to know everything that we had done, since she had left. Surprisingly, I happened to tell her the truth. All of sudden she began to yell at me through the phone. She yelled, “Do you not know that a hurricane is heading toward our city!” I became speechless and scrolled down to channel three.
I did not really worry much about the hurricane. Almost all the hurricanes, which came to New Orleans, were not really much of a big deal. Unfortunately, I began to have doubts about this one.
This hurricane, which was ready to make the landfall the next day, began to concern me. When I began to wonder about the other hurricanes, which had hit Florida a few weeks ago, I thought about the large amount of damage that occurred right after the storm. Therefore, I was hoping that the type of damage, which had happened in Florida, would not happen in Louisiana. My main concern happened to be whether or not if my parents would come home in time to save us from this incoming storm.

coming back home?” I responded by shrugging my shoulders. As a result, he looked at me weirdly and left the room. I turned my head back to the television and saw the Red Lobster commercial. My stomach was growling, and I haven’t eaten anything since morning. I decided to go into the kitchen to make a sandwich. A few minutes later, we saw the gate to the door open. My siblings yelled, “It’s mommy and daddy!”
Our hearts were filled with happiness. We did not expect for them to be back so soon. I and my five younger siblings went to hug our parents, and we took their bags. We wondered what caused our parents to look so angry yet seem so happy.
The following morning, there was an announcement stating, “All Orleans Parish Schools Will Be Closed.” I was extremely happy that school would be closed. I had more time to sleep and finish my homework.
As the day proceeded, we continued to watch the news. My mother was monitoring the news to check if any mandatory evacuations would be in effect. The only way we would evacuate, was if the government announced a mandatory evacuation.
Since I was born up to August 2005, we have never evacuated. My sister and I, had our fingers crossed, hoping the evacuation would be mandatory. A few minutes later, we saw the headline stating, “Mandatory Evacuation.” I was strangely excited to read that headline. Finally, for the first time ever, we were going to evacuate.

What are your week 3 predictions?

Here are mine, 10 points for who ever gets the most. Tie breaker is monday night score.
Jacksonville @ Houston – Texans looked pretty good last week, after a bad week 1. I don’t think the Jags are moving in the right direction, I think Del Rio needs to go. I like the texans.

Washington @ Detroit – The way washington played st louis last week it wouldn’t surprise me if detriot gets its first win, but I think the skins defense will be able to keep that from happening.

NY Giants @ Tampa Bay – The Giants are too much for Tampa, even at home.

Green Bay @ St. Louis – The packers aren’t very good, but the rams are terrible. Packers win.

Cleveland @ Baltimore – Brady Quinn should really have no trouble finding Ed Reed for at least 2 TDs. The ravens should win by at least 4 TD’s.

Kansas City @ Philadelphia – I think Cassels return is good news for the Chiefs but they still don’t match up welll against the eagles. I think the eagles win this one pretty easily.

Atlanta @ New England – As a pats fan I might be a little biased, but I think some of the timing issues can be worked out this week and going up against a defense that’s good but certainly not as good as what the Pats have dealt with and welker should be back giving the patriots formations with Both edelmen and welker at the same time for the first time this season. Brady should do pretty well. The Pats defense has looked presentable. They wont shut down the Falcon’s offense but they can keep it somewhat reasonable. Patriots have only lost back to back games 2 times with brady starting, and at home I think they can eak this one out.

Tennessee @ NJ Jets – The Jets defense is good against the pass, but didn’t look good against the run. Pats ran 20 times for 83 yards, I expect the titans to run a lot against the jets and their defense should create some turnovers. I like the titans, even though they are on the road they don’t want to go 0-3 in their division.

San Francisco @ Minnesota – With Minnesota at home, I think they win. If this was a road game I would lean towards San Fran, but at home I think the Vikes hold out.

New Orleans @ Buffalo – Buffalo just doesn’t have the fire power to match New Orleans.

Chicago @ Seattle – Chicago was able to upend the steelers, I think they can do the same against the seahawks.

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati – It wouldn’t shock me if the Bengals pulled the upset at home. Pitt can’t run, and they dont have troy back. But the steelers I think can squeek out a win here.

Miami @ San Diego – The phins travelling across the country after monday night makes me lean towards San Diego. Neither team is very good, but a short week might be the difference.

Denver @ Oakland – Boy this is tough, which team is worse the Broncos or the Raiders, they both know they have a shot at their division since no team there is good. I think the broncos defense has looked half way decent, and Orton hasn’t made too many mistakes. I think the broncos win – hard one to call.

Indianapolis @ Arizona – Tough game and a short week with more travel for the Colts. I don’t think the colts defense is too good, and I think the Cards can outscore them.

Carolina @ Dallas – Dallas is good, and their looking for a win at home after last week. The Panthers are hungry for a win, but Dallas is too.
Dallas 31 Carolina 20
TSQUARE the broncos have played the bengals @ cincy and the browns.
The raiders have played the chargers @ home and @ KC. Bengals are better than the Chargers and the Chiefs are better than the browns, so its a wash.

The Music
During the World War 2 era music became extremely important to many people. Here, it gave people the feeling of relaxation and aided them in their attempt to get the mind out of their heads. It also played a large roll over seas with the solders fighting in the wars. Music was one of the few things the soldiers had that helped them remember what it was like back home. It also helped them relaxing during times of great stress, which is a very big deal because I’m sure it kept many people sane during the fighting. There were many types of music back then, but during this period of time jazz sky rocketed. Jazz, which many once disliked became the most popular music here in the U.S. with the rise of jazz many new genres emerged from it. These new genres include, Swing, Dixieland Jazz, Bebop, Cool Jazz, and Hard Bop. Swing, which was the most popular out of them all, was used to dance and party to. Dixieland Jazz had a New Orleans feel to it. Bebop, known as “musician’s music,” was more of an art form, rather than dancing music, that had faster music and was more complex. Cool Jazz was very calm and soothing compared to bebop. Finally, Hard Bop, which was an extension of Bebop, included influences from rhythm, blues, and gospel.
Relationship Between the music of the time and the Characters
Looking back at the main characters in the book, each one can be describing using a music genre. For example, Finny would be jazz, since he is a smooth talker who is rebellious, yet cool and relaxed. He does what he wants when he wants and there are no extends to what he can or cannot do. On the other hand, Gene would be classical music. Gene is more down to earth and for the most part does what he is told. He can also be very serious in certain situations, but his mood fluctuates throughout the book. Using music to analyze the characters has greatly helped me understand them and find a deeper meaning to the book.
Songs Mentioned in A Separate Peace
In the novel, A Separate Peace, they mention a few songs, which were poplar during this time. In the novel the boys are found singing the song “A Mighty Fortress us our God”. This was originally a German song, but was translated. This is a very religious song about Gods protection over his follower against evil. This goes along perfectly with the book because it takes place in an school getting ready for the draft. In the book, Finny and his friends jokingly sung the song, almost mocking it because in their mindset, nothing will protect them from being drafted and having their lives put on the line for their country.

Music used as Propaganda
During this era in time, with one of the world’s largest wars going on, all countries involved in the war experienced the same difficulties. They all needed to find ways to persuade their citizens to enlist in the military. They had many ways of doing so, whether it was posters, commercials on the radio and television, or using articles in the newspaper and advertisements on billboards. One of the most influential ways of propaganda used can be found within music. Artists would include positive facts about the war going on, such as heroic moments and stories of victory. This would get people to enlist with the mindset that everything will be okay and all their actions would result in heroic tales as they heard in these songs. When they arrived at the warzone, they were in for a huge surprise. This propaganda tricked many young people into enlisting. An example of this is in the book, A Separate Peace. Leper is persuaded into enlisting because of the video he was shown by the ski crops recruiters. This video showed the ski troops and how they were able to travel all around the world, delivering messages to designated areas. They tricked him into enlisting by depicting the war as a chance to travel around the world and do what he loves to do, which is ski. When Leper arrived at the training camp, he went crazy because it was nothing at all what he imagined from the video. Propaganda was used in many wars and is a very effective way of recruiting, even though it can be very deceitful at times.

Lyustiger,Last Minute Family Travel?

We might all have some great daydreams about taking our family on the perfect vacation, whether it is to see Disneyland or on a cruise to the Bahamas, but more often than not, life intervenes. There might be accidents or problems and you might find that your plans get knocked for a loop. The important thing to remember is that you are not alone and that there are options for you. More people than you might believe end up doing some last minute travel preparations and even if you have the majority of the trip to plan and not much time to plan it , you will find that last minute family travel is not nearly as bad as you might think.

When thinking about planning some last minute family travel, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, make sure you know where you are going and why. Are you or your children (or preferably both) interested in it? Just because a destination is popular does not make it a good idea. Remember that there are no universally perfect vacations, ju

Taking my 16-year-old to Paris for the weekend…?

We are going in June 2007. We’ve both wanted to go and are just making a weekend of it to say we’ve been there. We don’t have tons of money so what can anyone recommend for a REALLY quick weekend getaway? Hotels? A little bistro that has great pastries and coffee. We aren’t getting a car so I need things we can walk to.

Although I’d love to see the Louvre I know we won’t have the time. Any other suggestions?

Also, any travel agencies that put together cheap packages?
Please, seasoned travelers answer only.

Travelling to Paris. Need help with booking, hotels, the lot!?

Hello, I’m going to Paris this July with my family and I’ve been given the job of booking everything (yay!)
Firstly, I’ll need to book a way of getting there and back, and I was thinking of doing so with Eurostar. Now shall I book the accommodation with Eurostar as well (as they have a ‘latest deal’ package page) or shall I do so separately? Also what can one do in Paris in 3 days? My mum would like to visit the Louis Vuitton store so I guess that’s one thing on the list. Google search tells me that the one situated in ‘Champ – Elysees’ is the largest one in Paris?

Any help would be great – Thank you!
I forgot to add, I’m going from the UK
