			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The idea of partying on the beach is universally appealing, conjuring up images of dancing from sunset to sunrise on golden sands, with bonfires, great music, crashing waves and cocktails in the mix.</p>
<p>From Ibiza to Miami, there are as many types of beach parties as there are party-people looking for a good time. From down and dirty dancing to celebrity-spotting socializing, read on for the 5 best party beaches in the world!</p>
<p><strong>IBIZA, SPAIN</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ibiza-beach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-83" title="ibiza beach" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ibiza-beach-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The name Ibiza has been synonymous with the phrase ‘beach party’ ever since the late ‘80’s when the former hangout of hippies and flower-children, metamorphosized into the party capital of the world. Stars, celebs and models all love to get down at the clubs dotted around this picturesque Spanish isle. The Playa d’en Bossa Beach is the longest stretch of beach on the island with its bars and cafés. The far end of the beach (away from Ibiza Town) is calmer, with less people and house music. But for the definitive Ibiza beach party, head to Bora Bora, half way along d&#8217;en Bossa beach. Ibiza is also known as a gay-friendly beach party destination.</p>
<p><strong>MYKONOS, GREECE</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mykonos-beach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-84" title="mykonos beach" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mykonos-beach-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>With its welcoming locals and trendy beach bars oceanside, Mykonos is another great place to party on the sands. Head to Paradise Beach Bar, located right on the beach between the palm trees. Here the partying starts early &#8211; from 2 pm – and goes on till sunrise the following day. This breathtakingly beautiful island is another favourite destination of the world’s fashionable party-set, so expect to enjoy celebrity-spotting while you dance the night away. Lots of places of historical and cultural interest, plus great tanning opportunities, mean you’ll never be bored while waiting for the fun to begin.</p>
<p><strong>SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/south-beach-miami.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-85 alignleft" title="south beach miami" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/south-beach-miami-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Where the beautiful people hang out – South Beach offers all the partying you’ll ever need. Although not strictly speaking ON the beach, the numerous fabulous clubs sprinkled along this expensive coastline are so hot that they bring the beach atmosphere right inside. This is where the posh people party, but the good times only get under way from 11 pm, so strolling along the beach, dining out or having a drink in the earlier part of the evening is recommended to avoid arriving too early. Many top model agencies send scouts to South Beach &#8211; you never know who might spot you on one of the awesome dance floors. The beach itself is stunning, with white, baby-powder sands caressed by the Atlantic. Not only can you dine here during the day but when the sun goes down you can have fun at the beds on stilts at Nikki Beach.</p>
<p><strong>BLOOMINGDALE AAN ZEE, HOLLAND</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BLOOMINGDALE-AAN-ZEE.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-86" title="BLOOMINGDALE AAN ZEE" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BLOOMINGDALE-AAN-ZEE-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>This event-venue opened nearly 7 years ago as a beach party for Amsterdam locals. The club has grown to accommodate 2 400 revelers with both in- and out-of-door areas. The setting is one of the most aesthetic on the Netherlands coast. Bloomingdales is renowned for its all-day Sunday parties held regularly throughout the year. The music tends towards chilled, laid-back tunes, perfect for the beach-setting. Top DJ’s are hosted regularly here.</p>
<p><strong>CAMPS BAY, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/camps-bay.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-87 alignleft" title="camps bay" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/camps-bay-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The white sands of this beautiful beach are popular throughout summer with both locals and international visitors to the Mother City of Cape Town, South Africa. With bars, cafes and restaurants right along the Camps Bay strip there are always trendy and beautiful people spilling out of these venues on to the beach. While volley ball and tanning are popular by day, sundowners and impromptu beach parties are on from early evening to well past midnight. Enjoy music, fire-jugglers and drumming around the huge bonfires which are lit during the summer holiday season.</p>
<p>So if sun, sand and sea make put you in the mood for some sexy partying – why leave the beach? Head for one of these 5 hot spots and the party need never end!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hawai-beach.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-78" title="hawai beach" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hawai-beach-300x234.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="234" /></a>Are you interested in vacationing in Hawaii? If you are, you will want to take the time to examine Hawaii beach accommodations. Hawaii beach accommodations come highly rated and recommended. Even with hearing that vacationing along the beach is recommended, you may be looking for more proof. For your convenience, six reasons why you should you should give beach arrangements a close look for your next Hawaii trip are outlined below.</p>
<p><strong>Your Options</strong></p>
<p>Your options are, perhaps, the greatest reason you should stay along the beach. Did you know that Hawaii beach accommodations come in a number of different formats? They do. For example, you can book at stay at a beachfront vacation resort, a Hawaii beach front cottage, a beachfront vacation home, a beach front vacation villa, a beachfront condo rental, and a beachfront apartment rental. This means no matter what your needs, in terms of vacation rental type and size, you should be able to find accommodations along the beach that are perfect for you!</p>
<p><strong>The Ocean View<br />
</strong><br />
As you likely already know, Hawaii beach rentals provide you with a front row seat of the ocean. This view is absolutely breathtaking. In fact, it is an experience that you will likely never forget. Many tourists come to Hawaii just for the beautiful beaches. If you are one of those vacationers, how would you feel waking up to that beauty each and everyday? As previously stated, it is an experience that you will likely never forget.</p>
<p><strong>Affordable For What You Receive</strong></p>
<p>For the most part, you will find that Hawaii beach front rentals are more than affordable for what you receive. This is just another one of the many reasons why you should give Hawaii beach rentals a close look. Yes, you will find some Hawaii beach front rentals, like a Hawaii beach house, that is out of your price range, but with a little bit of research, you should be able to find affordable accommodations.</p>
<p>In keeping with the cost of Hawaii beach accommodations, it is also important to remember what you are receiving. Many say that the cost of a Hawaii beach home or another beach front rental is more than worth it. This is particularly true for those who are visiting Hawaii for the first time.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Experience for Everyone</strong></p>
<p>Hawaii beach accommodations make for a great experience for everyone. Hawaii beach front rentals are perfect for romantic getaways. The beach and the view helps to create a romantic environment, which is perfect for traditional romantic getaways and honeymoons. With that in mind, it is also important to mention that Hawaii beach front rentals, like Hawaii beach homes, are perfect for family vacations as well. You can give your child or children the experience of a lifetime. If they are never able to visit Hawaii again, you can know that you gave them that chance and not just any chance, a front row seat!</p>
<p><strong>Conveniently Located to the Beach<br />
</strong><br />
If you are interested in spending your Hawaii vacation participating in beach related activities, like swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, boating, fishing, or surfing, you may enjoy the convenience of Hawaii beach accommodations. These accommodations get you right next to the ocean and many of the activities it holds. When you rent a Hawaii beach front home or another beachfront rental, you may find yourself traveling less to your destination. This can give you more time to enjoy yourself and the activities that you love.</p>
<p><strong>Great for Pictures<br />
</strong><br />
When on your next Hawaii vacation, there is a good chance that you will bring a camera or even a camcorder with you. After all, you may want to have long lasting memories of your dream vacation. That is another one of the many reasons you should at least examine booking a stay at a beachfront rental. Hawaii and its beaches are picture perfect. These pictures are not only ones that you can use for yourself and your own personal pleasure, but they are pictures that can be shown off, with great pride, to your friends and family, for years to come.</p>
<p>The above mentioned reasons are just a few of the many reasons why you should at least consider staying along the beach for your next Hawaii vacation. As a reminder, Hawaii beach accommodations come in a number of different formats, including Hawaii beach front homes. Also, Hawaii is filled with beach rentals; therefore, no matter which Hawaiian Island you choose to visit, you should be able to find a rental that is perfect for your vacation needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/panama-beach.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-63" title="panama beach" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/panama-beach-240x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="300" /></a>Panama is an adventure wonderland just waiting to be discovered. The country’s expansive rainforests are among the richest and most complex on the planet. It’s the only country where jaguars and pumas prowl just a short drive from the capital. Its vast, roadless jungles are home to over 940 recorded bird species and 105 endangered species, including the spectacled bear, the Central American tapir, the American crocodile, the scarlet macaw, as well as several eagle species.</p>
<p>This small, untapped country offers some of the finest diving, birdwatching, and deep-sea fishing in all of the Americas—yet only the most avid adventurers are aware of it. Panama boasts scores of deserted palm-lined beaches, miles of lush rainforests, great national parks, mysterious mangroves (where you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back to a time when dinosaurs walked the earth), steamy cloud forests, mountains, waterfalls, raging rivers, abandoned forts, as well as desert.</p>
<p>In Panama you can spend the morning diving in the Caribbean and the afternoon swimming in the Pacific. You can explore historic ruins of the colonial era…dive for Sir Francis Drake’s lead coffin (supposedly buried at sea near Portobello Bay)…see the rainforest in an aerial tram…ride a dug-out canoe to a native Indian village…discover the remote and mysterious forests of the Darién region right on the border of Colombia (where the roads end a few miles before the border, leaving you with the feeling you’ve reached the end of civilization)…come nose-to-nose with a red-napped tamarind monkey or a trio of colorful toucans…</p>
<p>Conde Nast Traveler, in an article from its February 2005 issue said &#8220;Panama has temperate rain forests, great surf and beaches, and more birdlife than any other country in Central America. Now…it also has a newly elected administration that wants travelers to enjoy every bit of it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fortunately, Panama is a small country. In a short one- or two-week trip, you can see much of what this diverse country has to offer.</p>
<p>In this special report, the IL team proposes a plan to get the most out of 24 hours in Panama. From a traditional Panamanian breakfast to a trip to the Miraflores Locks to evening drinks in a little boutique hotel overlooking the Bay of Panama…we have it all thought out.</p>
<p>Breakfast in El Trapiche</p>
<p>Exploring the best Panama has to offer is hungry work. Start your day on a full stomach and head for breakfast in El Trapiche, a busy diner in El Cangrejo (Vía Argentina, tel. (507)269-4353). Here you can enjoy breakfast Panama style and indulge in a hearty feed of carimañol—a yummy roll made of mashed yucca and stuffed with ground beef and boiled eggs—and a side of corn tortillas, that more resemble silverdollar pancakes than taco shells. The bill should be less than $8, even with that second café con leche.</p>
<p>Trip to the Miraflores Locks</p>
<p>No trip to Panama is complete without seeing the &#8220;Eighth Wonder of the World,&#8221; the Panama Canal. According to the Panama Canal Authority &#8220;The history of the construction of the Panama Canal is the saga of human ingenuity and courage: years of sacrifice, crushing defeat, and final victory.&#8221; This statement, while true, doesn’t go far enough to describe the mighty toll taken by the building of the Panama Canal. Construction began in 1904 and took 10 years to complete. It remains one of the greatest engineering achievements of all time, completed despite landslides, disease, setbacks, and the loss of 75,000 lives in total. Engineers directed most of the actual construction, which cost $375 million, and involved the excavation of 240 million cubic yards of earth.</p>
<p>The Canal, 51 miles long, opened to shipping in August 1914 and was formally dedicated on July 12, 1920. In 1921, the U.S. paid Colombia $25 million as redress for the loss of Panama; in exchange, Colombia formally recognized Panama’s independence.</p>
<p>On average it takes a vessel eight hours to travel from one ocean to the other, passing through three sets of locks. The best place to see the Canal is from the Miraflores Locks (open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., admission free). Make sure to get to the Miraflores Locks for 9 a.m. as this is when you are most likely to see large ships passing through.</p>
<p>Tamales in Casco Viejo</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/panama-city.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-64" title="panama city" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/panama-city-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>By now you’re probably feeling a tad peckish… Time to hop on a bus or hail a taxi and make your way toward Casco Viejo for tamales. If you’re in luck, you’ll bump into Luis Antonio Visuette on the streets of Casco Viejo, where he has been selling delicious homemade tamales, wrapped in plaintain leaves, for more than 10 years. With his Yankee cap and five-gallon bucket of hot and spicy tameles calientitos, Luis is hard to miss. These lunchtime treats are available in both large (50 cents), and small (25 cents), and are a real hit when washed down with an ice-cold drink. International Living’s local office is located in the Casco Viejo area, in the Cathedral Plaza, next to the Panama Canal Museum and just in front of the stunning Metropolitan Cathedral, so if you want to enjoy your tamales in our office (Luis will be making the rounds) call in for a Panamanian style &#8220;power lunch.&#8221;</p>
<p>Explore Casco Viejo</p>
<p>Located at the mouth of the Panama Canal, Casco Viejo is the oldest city on the Pacific Coast of the Americas…although it was there long before the Canal was built.</p>
<p>In fairness to history, the original Panama City (now known as Old Panama or Panama La Vieja) was founded in 1519, about two miles from the center of Panama City as we know it today. From here, expeditions were mounted to conquer the Inca Empire of South America and all of the wealth pillaged from Peru, Chile, and California flowed to Spain through Old Panama. It is no surprise that this booty attracted pirates like Henry Morgan, who looted the city in 1671.</p>
<p>During Morgan’s attack, this original Panama City was burned to the ground. Two years later, in 1673, the capital was moved two miles to the west, and present-day Panama City was founded. This is the area now known as Casco Viejo.</p>
<p>As the city was being rebuilt by the Spanish settlers, they decided to build a massive surrounding wall and a stronger fortress for its protection and to ensure that the enormous wealth in gold and silver that passed through it would never again be susceptible to the likes of Henry Morgan.</p>
<p>The new city boasted a cross-sectioned design of 38 blocks, with three main streets running from east to west and seven streets running from north to south. Unfortunately, this urban development was interrupted by various fires that devastated its streets. In 1737, the &#8220;big fire&#8221; destroyed two thirds of the city, and the &#8220;small fire&#8221; of 1756 destroyed more than 90 houses. These and other catastrophic fires help explain why so few true examples of Spanish colonial architecture exist today.</p>
<p>The fortress still survives, though, and today houses several important, cultural, and historic buildings and monuments. But it is the architecture of Casco Viejo that makes it so special. The old Spanish colonial style is overlaid with French balconies and architecture, remnants of the French inhabitants who made the initial attempt to build the Panama Canal in 1881. Over the years, a Caribbean influence also took hold and, today, Casco Viejo is a melting pot of architectural inspiration and style, with some buildings dating as far back as 300 years.</p>
<p>Museums, shopping, and fortune telling</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/casco-viejo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-67" title="casco viejo" src="http://www.wfis-suramerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/casco-viejo-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a>Up until the early parts of this century, Casco Viejo remained a thriving cultural center. But as Panama City modernized, and as the automotive age made transportation easier, it spread outward, leaving Casco Viejo behind. The old city’s narrow labyrinth streets were difficult for cars to maneuver and its buildings were obsolete in comparison to modern skyscrapers being built. By the mid 1900s, Casco Viejo had gone the way of most city centers of that century. No longer the center of Panama City, it was too oppressed for the upper class and quickly became a poor area of tenement-style housing.</p>
<p>The area is currently undergoing a complete transformation, however. Restaurants and bars are opening with gusto, tourists are coming in growing numbers, and people from all over now want to make their homes in Casco Viejo.</p>
<p>In 1997, UNESCO declared Casco Viejo a Patrimony of Humanity. Today, it is revered as the historic center of Panama City. Two- and three-story houses with flower-adorned balconies overlook narrow streets. At its tip is French Park, where you will find the French Embassy and a monument to the hardy French builders who began the Panama Canal. On one side is an historical Spanish building called Las Bovedas, now housing an art gallery and French restaurant. Panama’s Supreme Court was once housed here. A walkway around the monument offers a nice view of the Amador Causeway, Bridge of the Americas, and Panama City’s skyscraper skyline to the east. A plaque commemorates the firing of canon shots to ward off a Colombian warship and solidify Panama’s independence from Colombia in 1903.</p>
<p>There are excellent museums in the Casco Viejo area, including the Museo de Canal. Here, you can learn about Panama’s history as the connector between the Atlantic and the Pacific from pre-Hispanic to modern times. Next door is the Museum of National History and across the way is the National Cathedral. Nearby is a small museum dedicated to religious art, found in the old Santo Domingo monastery. This is where you will find the famous Flat Arch, which reportedly helped convince engineers that Panama was earthquake-proof and a geologically stable area for building the Canal. A few blocks away is the old San Jose Cathedral, with gleaming spires inlaid with mother-of-pearl and its beautiful gold altar, intricately carved of wood and gilded with gold. This is a must-see when you visit Casco Viejo.</p>
<p>Casco Viejo is home to the Presidential House. If you want to see this, be sure to come on a Sunday as it is closed to the public for the rest of the week. Famous sons and daughters of Panama also make their homes here, including actor/singer (and now Panama’s minister of tourism) Ruben Blades, and boxer Roberto Duran.</p>
<p>Bargain hunters can take a break from the historical sights at Salsipuedes, which roughly translates to &#8220;get out if you can.&#8221; Located just before the entrance to Casco Viejo, it is Panama’s bizarre bazaar, a street so narrow and filled with vendors that it is dark at noon. A few steps away is Santa Ana’s Plaza, where you can have your fortune told for just $5.</p>
<p>Dine at The Bristol</p>
<p>To finish off your day in style, make your way to The Bristol Hotel, just a short taxi journey from Casco Viejo. Dining at the Barandas Restaurant at The Bristol Hotel is an event to savor. The Panamanian-inspired gourmet cuisine, restful ambiance, stunning presentation, elegant settings, and attentive service combine to create an unforgettable dining experience.</p>
<p>A Trip To Panama Caught Your Fancy?</p>
<p>Hopefully, this special report has given you a few ideas on how to spend your time in Panama, but don’t forget that this amazing country has much more to offer. Pacific Coast beaches near the city; Coiba Island National Marine Park; and the Darién Province to name just a few.</p>
