Michael Jackson - Neverland

By:blog.luxuryproperty.com

Well, here we go again, kiddies. Once again Michael Jackson is reporting that his Neverland Ranch has been saved from foreclosure. The loan was bought by Colony Capital, a real estate investment firm.

The $23-24 million loan was previously held by Fortress Investment Group. And we all remember the drama involved in that deal, don’t we? They were ready to foreclose and the property was slated for the auction block on May 14.

But Jackson was in negotiations with Colony. Reuters reports that Colony is “very comfortable” holding the loan and negotiating payment. Really? With whom? Jacko certainly isn’t bringing in the bucks like he used to. So where is he going to get money for this?

We have no idea, darlings. Just no idea. But we do still wonder if someone will restore Neverland to its former glory, or just redevelop it within an inch of its life.

Holidays in Europe - Top Landmarks

Holidays in Europe - Top LandmarksBy: Kenneth Elliott, SITE

Have you ever considered taking a holiday in Europe? Europe has all the makings of an unbelievable holiday spot. The culture is second to none, the history is breathtaking and the sites and sound will have you in awe. Europe is steps back in time were simple activities made sense. Europe is a highly traveled destination for history buffs and adventure seekers alike. For the history buffs there are plenty of ancient buildings just waiting to be explored. Here are a few landmarks that should not be missed.

European Landmarks You Must Visit

Eiffel Tower one of Europe's most recognized landmarks stands as an icon of French society. The Eiffel Tower build by its namesake Gustave Eiffel has been a landmark since late 1889. Construction took two years for it to be completed, when finished the tower stood 986 feet high. At the time of completion it stood as the world's tallest tower. It retained this title till 1930 when a little known building called the Chrysler Building snatched it title. The Chrysler Building measured a whopping 1,047 ft tall beating the Eiffel tower by 61 feet. Being so tall the Eiffel tower became very popular with tourist and native Europeans. Today, the Eiffel Tower is just as popular. To date is has had more than 200,000,000 visitors since its construction.

Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre Dame Cathedral is another great landmark that should not get passed up. Located on the Île de la Cité in Paris, the Cathedral has stood since 1250. The church was built on the site of the first Christian Church of Paris, Saint Etienne basilica. In 1960 Bishop Maurice de Sully deemed the first church unworthy of it lofty roll as the "parish church of the kings of Europe" and had it demolished. Construction of the new church began in 1163 and was completed in successive parts. The foundation of the church which was laid in 1163 was commissioned by during the reign of Louis VII. Construction of the magnificent west front with the distinctive two front towers began around 1200. During this time many architects were involved in construction of the Cathedral. It is evident by the different architectural styles of the two towers as higher heights were reached. Check out the architectural highlights inside the Cathedral, they will be breathtaking.

Towers of London

The Towers of London is her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress. It is located on the north bank of the River of Thames within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is the original fortress build by William the Conqueror in 1078. The fortress is surrounded by a moat with a complex of several building set within a ring to provide protection for the King and Queen. The primary purpose of the Fortress has been for a royal palace, a prison, a place for execution and torture, a Zoo, a public records office, a mint and a treasury. This is a massive complex with many corridors and halls. Tours of the Towers are done daily, but it is recommended to plan in advance to get tickets.

Romantic Holidays in Europe

Romantic Holidays in EuropeBy: Dani Alonso, SITE

I know. You want to bring your beloved one to a dream destination, you want to spend the afternoon walking through cozy romantic streets and majestic avenues. You want to give that person the best place where to feel comfortable for a passionate holiday. And the question is: where should I travel if I am looking for romantic holidays in Europe?

Well, could be a tricky question but I'll give you some quick answers. In this case, the crowd has had the word. It is considered that couples spend their most romantic holidays in Europe in Paris and Venice. From my perspective, Paris would be more suitable for the refined ones. Instead, Venice can be the paradise for passionate adventurous lovers.

Even if it may seem pretty easy, the reasons why a city can be considered romantic or not are not really established and there are some cities that are not mentioned by the crowd but that I would consider amazingly romantic. One of them is Stockholm, in Sweden, where the lightened city at night with all the islands of the archipelago surrounded by water creates a magic atmosphere that many lovers would appreciate.

At same time, the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, is another one that can be considered of enchanted beauty. Probably the character of the people living there breaks somehow the atmosphere I must say, but it definitely is one of the most romantic holidays in Europe you can ever take.

Finally, even if I would not consider the capital as a romantic city, a cruise through the Greek Islands, specially with landings and stays in the most unspoiled of them, can be the only peaceful piece of free sand ready for beach lovers to explore. Even if Europe has other wonderful beaches, they are all overcrowded and you will not enjoy the kind of intimate space you are looking for with all people running around and throwing sand on your back.

Whatever your romantic holidays in Europe are, please don't forget you are in the real world, and even if your partner loves you the most, the other people doesn't, and specially robbers take opportunity of the enchanted couples that walk with their mind in the clouds through the streets of such romantic European capitals. Take care with them, and enjoy the rest!

Family Vacation Specials

Family Vacation SpecialsBy:Max Bellamy, SITE

One may not want to spend the whole of their vacation skiing in the mountains, building sand castles on the beach, or riding horses in the farm. Instead, one may want to indulge in all of these activities during one vacation. However, it would be almost impossible to organize all these things at one time. Moreover, it would be a very expensive affair to go out with the family on such tours. This is where the special holiday packages and deals can prove to be a savior. They not only offer the best deals on package tours; they also make sure that your kids and family members are well-looked-after, and arrange for their entertainment separately.

While planning a family vacation, the ideas and offers are virtually endless. However, one should have proper information about national parks, theme parks, and ideal places for a family vacation. If all this is too hectic and time-consuming, the best thing would be to leave all this planning for the experts who can arrange and organize a perfect vacation for your family. Family vacation specials offer carefully crafted trips with a blend of family-pleasing outdoor activities, cultural exploration, great food and comfort.

Family vacation special deals are available on the World Wide Web, and with just a click of the mouse one can see thousands of options. Usually, special deals and promotions offer multiple package tours and thus, in a short span of time, one can conveniently visit many places without having to bother about the transportation, tickets, food, etc.

Bookings, if done in the last minute, can fetch great discounts, as travel agencies would want to fill cancelled or unsold seats at low prices rather than lose the revenue. Hotels, airlines and cruise lines usually entertain last-minute bookings, and this can be a great way of saving on travel, too.

The 5 Best Beaches in The World

By Eric Cho, SITE

If you’re ready to get away and take the family to a beach that’s relaxing and entertaining for adults, but that still keeps the trip fun and exciting for the kids, we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 beaches in the world for families. So, let’s start the countdown from number five and work our way to the very best beach.

5. Trunk Bay, St. John in the Virgin Islands

Trunk Bay is part of the Virgin Islands National Park, and probably the least known beach in our list. But, it is one of the best kept secrets of the Virgin Islands. With the offshore coral reefs, Trunk Bay beach is considered the best on the island of St. John.

Trunk Bay, St. John in the Virgin Islands

Visitors can lounge in the sun, or explore the coral reefs in the pristine waters off the coast of St. John. You can even try your hand at underwater photography with the snorkeling equipment rentals available. For more adventure you can take the family hiking into the park to see old sugar plantations and the history of St. John.

4. Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is a popular hotspot and home to some of the best beaches in the world. The best time of the year to visit this Mexican paradise is around November or December. You’ll avoid the spring breakers and the tropical storm season that usually hits in September or October. It’s also the best time to get a deal, and when traveling as a family, good rates are important.

Cancun, Mexico

Since you’ll want to find accommodations close to or on the beach, you’ll find your best bets on the famous Hotel Zone, which is a 14 mile peninsula into the Caribbean Sea. Our pick for the best hotel in Cancun is the Barcelo Costa situated on the Playa Linda Beach in Cancun. This resort is close to the golf course, shopping and of course, the beach.

3. St. Tropez, France

Most people think of Hollywood stars and clothing optional beaches when they hear St. Tropez. However, there are several family friendly beaches in St. Tropez that feature beach playgrounds, and places to find snacks for the kids. Stay away in the summer months as there are hordes of people on the beaches and in the shops. June and September are the best months to take the family to the beach so you can still enjoy the warm climate, but avoid the masses.

St. Tropez, France

The Amarante Golf Plaza Hotel sits on the Bay of St. Tropez and features luxury amenities like a swimming pool, fitness room, golf and tennis, and serves gourmet food in their on-site restaurant.

2. Paradise Island, Bahamas

Paradise Island is small at only 5 square miles, but it is heaven for beach goers. Besides the sandy beaches there are lots of fun things to do with the family including shopping along the quaint streets, eating local cuisine, or venturing through the 100-foot underwater tunnel to see sharks, barracudas, and stingrays.

Paradise Island, Bahamas

The Atlantis is the premier location to stay in Paradise Island, with water activities for the kids and a full 18-hole golf course. On their Cabbage Beach you can parasail, jetski, and snorkel.

1. Surfers Paradise Beach, Australia

Surfers Paradise Beach is our top pick because of the selection of activities for people young and old. The beaches are gorgeous, the water clear and inviting, and a ton of fun attractions at the Gold Coast. There are plenty of theme parks like Sea World and Movie World. Activities run the range from shopping, laying on the beach, snorkeling, surfing, fishing, and even bungee jumping. At night they have hopping clubs and a casino.

Surfers Paradise Beach, Australia

The Gold Coast International Hotel is far and away the best pick for luxury accommodations in Surfers Paradise. Featuring spacious rooms, top rate service, clean swimming pool, world class restaurant and bar, the beaches should be the first destination when traveling to Surfers Paradise, on Australia’s Gold Coast.
