River Cruising: The Danube - By: Sabrina Toth
Imagine cruising down a river while you watch and experience the inner sights of a country. River cruising is a great option for those looking to have a more intimate adventure while still getting a new travel experience. It allows cruisers to get to the heart of the countries they have the fortune to sail through. One of the best river cruise experience for a first time river cruiser is sailing on the Danube.
The Danube is a lovely river that starts in the Black Forest of Germany and streams down to the Black Sea for about 1,370 miles. Along the way, travelers can go through places in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and even Slovakia. Each river cruise company has their own itinerary but some highlights can include Budapest, Vienna, and Nuremberg.
When in Budapest, or the Pearl of the Danube, one can see the four stately bridges that divide the two cities of Buda and Pest. Disembark and visit both sides for two completely different experiences. Stroll down Andrassy Avenue where you can view sights like the National Opera House and the Parliament Building. If castles are what you seek, Buda's Castle District is where you need to be.
Next along the way is Vienna, Austria. Enjoy the imperial city of music, whether it's to take in an opera or a local band in a coffee shop. There are also sights that one should never miss while in Vienna. For starters, there's the Hofburg Theater and St. Stephan's Cathedral with its catacombs and towers.
End your journey in Nuremberg and see the Palace of Justice. Here is where so many faced the world and answered for their war crimes in the famous post-War World II trials. Walk around the Main Market Square in Nuremberg's Old Town area or see the Albrecht Durer House on your way there.
Between Budapest and Nuremberg, travelers can also enjoy other cities like Melk, Bratislava, Durnstein, Regensburg, and Passau all of course depending on the itinerary of the river cruise chosen. If one times it right, you can go on a tour of the Danube and the holiday markets along the way.
At the end of your Danube river cruise, you can make it an even longer trip by staying on at the last city. It gives you a chance to explore and relax even more before going back. You'll go back appreciating the smaller and more intimate setting that a river cruise offers.

The 14 Longest Non-stop Flights in The World
These are some long flights. At about 9.5 hrs, my flight from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Frankfurt, Germany, was probably my longest flight. But that is nothing compared to these!
"Flying from one end of the world to the other takes a long time, but luckily for passengers it is taking much less time with the introduction of non-stop flights. What used to be a two-day journey from New York to Hong Kong can now be done in just about 16 hours.
Engineers have worked hard over the years to come up with innovative ways to make airplanes go faster and longer distances, without having to stop. Although these 16 hour journeys may take a long time, there are plenty of on-board amenities to keep passengers happy. Discover 14 of the longest non-stop flights in the world, and why flying long distance is easier than ever." - http://www.escapehere.com/

Top Five Airlines Around the World
So, I was trolling Ezine Articles for some good content to add to my blog. I came across this article and was like, "BINGO!"
Just to throw my 2-cents in, the only airline here that I have flown with is Lufthansa. I LOVED IT! Seriously, I am sitting in Economy-Class, as usual, and they come down the isle with warm towelettes! Obviously I excite easily but, seriously that was great!
After you read about these amazing airlines, which I have heard great things about long before I found the article, you will NEED to read my blog post about the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card (Click Here)! You can transfer miles from that card at a 1:1 value to Singapore Airlines and United Airlines. Why does United Airlines get mentioned here? Because they are partners with Lufthansa and All Nippon Airways via the StarAlliance network. So, depending upon the destination, travel dates and time of booking you might be able get a free flight (minus taxes and fees) on one of these highly regarded partner airlines. I should also mention British Airways has a 1:1 point transfer agreement with the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card and they are partnered with Qatar Airways via the OneWorld Alliance. However, I am not too familiar with OneWorld so, I will withhold further comment.
Anyway, I will quite yapping now and let you read the article:
