April 2008

A bunch of friends of mine are going on a cruise in December and it’s made me a little jealous.

It looks like a lot of fun but I can’t go because of my trip to Spain. So in reality they are more jealous than me.

And no doubt they are jealous of anyone who is lucky enough to go on a Regent Seven Seas Cruise. Regent know how to put on a cruise with the works - great food, great drinking, and great service.

Cruise Locators.com provides access to this and and other cruises for you to have a nice, relaxing holiday. One could find themselves in obvious destinations like the Caribbean or Alaska which would both be fantastic, or places that one wouldn’t normally think of cruising to like Africa or Japan.

The rising cost of crude oil is crunching drivers all around the world.

If you’re feeling pain, feel sorry for Europe where they have to pay more than anyone else to fill their tank.

But more than anyone else, feel sorry for the poor. Those in third world countries and those who find themselves on the bottom of the heap in our first world countries are the ones really hurting right now due to the pain. The other day I had my most expensive tank fill in my personal history and I griped.

But I’m well above the average income. Imagine how much some people struggle when you add $10, 20 to their bill just to get around every week. I thank God that $10 is chicken feed to me and the rest of my family too.

For others, $10 is the difference between eating that night and going without.

Park West Art Gallery is home to the largest collection of fine art in the world.

They conduct auctions all throughout the US and Canada and have an affiliate company that conducts auctions on cruise ships right around the globe.

If you’re in the market for some fine art, Park West would definitely be a good place to start one would think.

There’s so many different types of art around the place, and so much variation, that it’s easy to find something to complement the room that you are decorating.

Cerulean Rhapsody by Tomasz Rut

La Dama De Las Mariposas (Lady of the Butterflies) by Felix Mas

Spiderman #2 by Stan Lee

Canadian Landscape by Littorio Del Signore

Park West, while processing a lot of art, has an eye for quality and uses the best of the best to appraise their work. They also have paintings from the masters which they exhibit from time to time.

While I’m not in the market yet, I anticipate that some day I will be. I look forward to buying art for the first time.
