Bar Scenes Are Out — International Dating Vacations Are In!

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
Mark Edward Davis asked:

Who says your dating scene has to be restricted to neighborhood watering holes and local women? Now your dating adventures can scan the globe. Many single American men are breaking the cliché of marrying their high school sweethearts, instead choosing Tatyana over Maryanne. They’re combining vacations and dating and finding exotica experiences never known before.

This is not about mail order brides or Internet dating but rather getting eye-to-eye with incredible women from the newest dating hotspots in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe. Many of the Miss Universe finalists have hailed from these overlooked countries year after year. Well, they are overlooked no more. The secret is out. These women are fit, fashionable, and friendly and attracting international attention.

Global Dating Facts

This itinerant quest for love is taking thousands of North American men to other continents. This trend in global romance is leading to thousands of marriages every year. According to the International Marriage Broker’s Regulation Act of 2005, 10,000 men a year are saying “I do” to international sweethearts. U.S. immigration statistics indicate that the divorce rate of men who married foreign women is 20% — well below the American marriage statistics.

The Tour Experience

Today, travel organizations exist for the sole purpose of taking men on what is termed a “dating vacation.” The usual scenario takes place in a banquet facility or established night club in a foreign country of the man’s choosing. Once there, he and 25 other men will be introduced to 150 to 200 women at each of these socials.

This variation of speed dating, supported by interpreters, enables you to strike up a conversation and whittle your choices down to a Top 5. You then have two days in that city to go on exclusive one-on-one dates with each of your top picks before traveling to the next two cities where the entire process is repeated.

Myths Debunked

There are surprising reasons foreign women will prefer you over native men. Truly, it’s not the green card that these women are looking for; but a faithful man to make a family with. Many countries have populations where there are more women than men — in the millions! The men have no motivation to be faithful or even desire to settle down. Russia has twelve million more women than men and they are paying Russian couples with big cash incentives if they will marry!

These women are not uneducated villagers, but modern educated women looking for compatible mates and finding a small pool of native eligible bachelors. They are not trying to escape poverty or leave their country, necessarily, but the quest for a loyal man eludes them at home.

What to Expect:

The itinerary for a Dating Vacation goes as follows:

• Departure from a gateway city, usually New York or San Francisco.

• Guided coach transportation to all events.

• Three fully catered, invitation-only Socials with different women attending each one.

• Professional interpreter services during Socials and at the hotel, including 24 hour foreign and American hospitality — it’s white glove service all the way.

• Stays extend from 10 to 45 day in top-rated international hotels.

I can personally attest that global dating vacations work, having gone on numerous ones. I dated dozens of women on four continents before I met and married my Ukrainian beauty.

For Lauderdale Ghost Tours — Hunt The Haunted Tonight!

Sunday, December 6th, 2009
Christian Rieger asked:

Hunt ghosts with the Ghosts, Mysteries & Legends tour of Old Fort Lauderdale, www.fortlauderdaleghosttours.com, Fort Lauderdale’s premier ghost tour. Ghost Guides introduce visitors and locals to Fort Lauderdale’s “other night life” as they walk along the banks of the New River in the city’s historic district.

The ghost tour takes guests to the city’s most haunted places right in the heart of downtown, where the Tequesta Indians lived when the Spanish Conquistadors arrived and where the city as we know it today began.

The tour’s chief ghost guide, Christian Rieger, says, “We concentrate our tour in the area where Fort Lauderdale started as a modern city – where the Flagler railroad came through in 1896.

“The freeze of 1895 that killed the citrus trees through central Florida, caused Henry Flagler to extend his Florida Eastcoast Railroad from Palm Beach to what is today Miami.

The city’s first hotel, built because the railroad’s coming through, was built next to the tracks at the river. Historians say that it is this area, where we have our ghost hunting, that the city, as we know it today, began.”

Ghost tour guides, wearing a cape, top hat and carrying a lantern, tell stories of the fabled New River, trading posts and 100 year-old mansions. Is the Ghost Train that speeds silently over the tracks the train that caused the death 500 people in the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935? Some locals who claim to have seen it think so.

Visitors on the tour will discover the mystery of the woman in the white wedding dress and why she stands alone on the balcony of the city’s oldest standing hotel building. Guides also tell tales of Seminole Indians that still haunt the river, the ghosts of early settlers, and the haunts of a popular restaurant.

“It is great family entertainment,” says Rieger, “something for the family to do after dinner besides watch television in the hotel room. It also works great for local families, because ghost tours are a clever way of introducing local history to children – a way of making history interesting and easy to listen to.”

“And bring your digital camera. We have had many guests who have photographed various images in the spirit world.”

Montana Is Surely a Must Visit Destination

Saturday, October 31st, 2009
Devinder Patel asked:

Govt. acquired the Louisiana territory and then later Montana was carved out of it. Thirteen states in total were carved out from the old Louisiana territory. Montana became a state on 9th November, 1889 as the 41st state of US and in 1894 Helena outbid Anaconda to become state capitol, the result of the famous ‘War of the Copper Kings’.

Fort Owen State Park is the site of first white settlement in Montana and the fort was built hereas a regional trade center in 1850. All the furnishings and artifacts are saved in the restored rooms and the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Walk along the steamboat levee and see the part of the town once called ‘the bloodiest block in the west’ and also view the ruins of Historic Fort Benton. Created in 1864, Fort Benton became the hub for trade and travels in north-western US and Canada. Many vessels used to dock in its harbor bringing and taking many traders.

At Sluice Boxes only camping is permitted, but no amenities are provided. At least it has a trail going to the Lewis and Clark Forest and Little Belt Mountains. It is located in north central Montana and fishing is permitted on its streams.

Pompeys Pillar National Historic Landmark is a rock that’s rising 200 ft above the Yellowstone River. Various markings on the rocks depict that people used to meet, camp and hunt centuries ago. It also has a carving of Captain William Clark’s signature and date of 1806 where interpretive tours are also available.

It later became the military HQ. Most of the original buildings still stand and it became the State agriculture experiment station in 1911 and continues so to-day. Fort Assinniboine Historic Site, Northern Agriculture Research Center was built in 1879 and was the largest military fort west of Mississippi River. Its length was 40 miles and the breadth was 15 miles.

Fairmount Hot Springs Resort is a place, which offers its visitors lots of Massages and makes them feel totally relaxed. It also offers them lots of water related activities making best of Montana in one place. A real wild and roaring destination and its original structures still standing like Hotel, Temple and the town jail.

Spanish Peaks Brewery and Italian Caffe is a place where tourists who want to fill their stomachs can come. It offers you various Spanish ales and Italian food for lunch, dinner or just for taste. On Sundays it offers drinks at discounts.
