The Mike Ditka Resorts

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Malaysia Airlines is only one of the highest-ranking air carriers in Southeast Asia. Its rankings are worldwide. Many people pick Malaysia Airlines when they have flight plans that will take them to Southeast Asia or maybe down to Australia, but it also flies to the Middle East, London, South Africa, and Los Angeles among other destinations. In this article we’ll be discussing some of the interesting facts and features about this award winning airline.

The history of Malaysia Airlines goes back quite a ways, to the days when Malaysia was part of the British Empire. In 1937, Malaysia Airways, a small airlines in Southeast Asia was formed, and later became the major commercial airlines that it is today. When Malaysia became an independent nation in 1963, the airline’s name became Malaysian Airlines Limited and later, Malaysia Airlines, the name it’s now known by. There are almost 100 locations on the map that this airlines will fly you. It doesn’t just travel in Asia, but can take you to Johannesburg, Istanbul, and also European cities as far away as Rome, London or Paris. The finest airlines of the world are few, and Malaysia Airlines is now considered one of them, because of the many transitions it has gone through the last few decades.

Malaysia Airlines is renowned for the exemplary service it provides to each Class of passenger. However, if you are fortunate enough to fly First Class, your trip will be an unprecedented experience you won’t soon forget. Your seats will have plenty of room and privacy, and you’ll be able to sleep on a quilted mattress with large, comfortable pillows. The airline can give you a pair of 100% cotton pajamas to sleep in to prevent your clothes from becoming wrinkled and, when you awaken and visit the lavatory, you will find linen towels, and a selection of toiletries that includes cologne, aftershave, body lotion and a hand wash from the House of Aigner. You will feel as if you are in a 5-Star Hotel instead of a 5-Star Airline. Aside from this, you’ll have access to Chef-on-Call-First, which serves special gourmet cuisine made especially for First Class passengers. You will feel as though you are dining in a 5-Star Malaysian Restaurant instead of an airplane. Depending on which flight you’re on, you’ll be offered tasty selections such as Malaysian Style Chicken Curry or Chicken Opor.

If you’re flying with children, or if you have to arrange for children to fly on their own, Malaysia Airlines will make every effort to see that everyone’s needs are met. If your child must travel alone, Malaysia Airlines’ Special Assistance Crew will be there to provide friendly reassurance and guidance each step of the way. Depending on the age of the children there are also special programs that will help keep them entertained.

There are also games and entertainment that will help make the trip pass more quickly for kids, as well as their parents. Malaysia Flights go to many places in the world that have beautiful beaches. Phucket, an island nation that has drawn many beach lovers, is part of Thailand. Movies have portrayed some of the exotic beaches that you can find in this area. Near Malaysia is a cluster of 104 islands called Langkawi, and it is a good place to visit. The lush landscapes of these islands, along with the blue waters and beautiful, spotless beaches come right out of a picture. These are just a few of the beach destinations that Malaysia Airlines can fly you into.

The word “cruise” probably still makes you think of sandy beaches and Caribbean resorts. And there is nothing wrong with that. But if you are interested in a truly adventurous excursion for your next vacation, and yet still want the convenience and comfort of traveling by cruise ship, you might try looking into traveling to what are literally the ends of the Earth: the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions. While you will need to bundle up in order to take part in the stops along your journey, it will be well worth it for the unique “tourist attractions” you will encounter.

Antarctic cruises offer a trip to an unspoiled wilderness where there are no permanent human settlements. Antarctic Cruise Ships depart from the bottom of South America to reach the pristine snowscapes and cold blue seas of the world’s southernmost continent, where wind and cold have shaped the land for thousands of years. The rare and spectacular wildlife in its natural environment, such as the penguins, seals, and whales, is truly a sight to behold.

Other activities you might try are hiking and cross-country ski expeditions, overnight ice camping trips, and sea kayaking. And do not forget the photo-taking, because there will be many sights you will want to take with you to share (at least in some way) with those back home. And because you are traveling by ship, you will have access to many of the same diversions to be found on board warm-water tours.

Arctic Cruises may be similar in terms of the snowy landscape and icy waters, but they are also quite different in many other ways. For example, many tours travel through the waterways of northern Canada, where, in the territory of Nunavut, you will encounter permanent human settlements. The capital of Nunavut, Iqaluit, is a frequent start and/or end to the tour. Along the way, you can get to know about the art and culture of the largely Inuit populace. Stops in western Greenland are also popular.

The Northwest Passage will reveal landscapes and sea vistas (perhaps under the famous “midnight sun”) to astound you and fill up your camera once again. And there will be plenty of wildlife to see as well, including polar bears, walruses, and whales. All of this can be enjoyed from the ease of a well-appointed cruise ship.

November to March is the best period to see the Antarctic sights, while July to September is the ideal time to travel to the Arctic. No matter which direction you head, be sure to choose a cruise company with a commitment to environmental responsibility, so that you can help preserve these wonderful destinations in their best possible condition.

Christmas is the time of year when being with family and friends is first and foremost on your mind. Getting together with those nearest and dearest to you is important. What better way to share time and a few laughs with each other than with a good Christmas movie.

Young and old alike enjoy watching funny, magical, and touching Christmas movies. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite movies that are suitable for all ages. I know that our Christmas season would not be complete without watching at least a couple of these movies.

A Christmas Story (1983) This hilarious slice-of-life movie set in a 1940s American family Christmas season will have you in stitches every time you watch it. Poor Ralphie has to contend with a whiny little brother, an unshakable bully, a cantankerous father, and a teacher who is not fond of boys who double-dog-dare other boys to stick their tongue on the flag pole. And, any mention of the wish for a BB gun, and everyone, including his understanding mother and even Santa, utters the refrain – “you’ll shoot your eye out!” But, all Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB gun. What he most certainly did not want for Christmas were Pink Bunny Pajamas!

Elf (2003) What is a six foot elf doing in New York City? Finding his father and getting his name on the “Nice List” instead of the “Naughty List”, of course. Will Ferrell plays Elf, who when he was a baby, stow away by accident in Santa’s gift bag and ended up living at the North Pole being raised by the elves. When Buddy grows up, he realizes he is different from the “other” elves. When told about his father, he decided he would find him and fix him. Well, Buddy finds him alright, and a lot of other people that need fixing. Buddy realizes that not everyone was enjoying Christmas like they should, and certainly not like Buddy! James Caan and Bob Newhart are fabulous, as is Ferrell, which makes this movie not only funny but very well done.

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) This “must see holiday movie” is worth more than a passing glance. James Stewart as George Bailey and Donna Reed as Mary Bailey offer wonderful performances that have lasted the test of time. Set in a small town, George has big dreams. Unfortunately, he has to put those dreams on hold when his family and his town needs him. When his life takes a seriously bad turn, he is sent a guardian angel, Clarence, who is on his first mission to Earth to earn his angel wings. With help from Clarence, and a little magic, George learns that even when things seem the darkest, having a loving family and good friends is all that really matters. At times funny, at times touching, this movie is a classic for all ages.

The Santa Clause (1994) If your son told you he was at the North Pole last night, would you believe him? If you’re Santa you would! When Scott Calvin, played by Tim Allen, surprised Santa on his rooftop, causing him to fall off, Scott unwillingly agreed to the Santa “clause” which made him the new Santa. The transformation from Dad to Santa took some time and some getting used to. Scott’s son, Charlie, knew it right away when Dad started getting jolly and round, and attracting all kinds of kids telling him what they wanted for Christmas. Then there’s Mom and her psychiatrist husband who don’t know quite how to handle these stories of Charlie’s. Flying off to the North Pole? The ending is sweet and will make you believe in miracles.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) Dr. Seuss is known and loved by folks age 1 to 101, and his classic story of the magic of Christmas is probably one of his best. The Grinch is a fellow you wouldn’t want to cross paths with. M-E-A-N! And now, he has a horrible plan to ruin Christmas for the happy Whos down in Whoville by stealing all their presents and decorations. He hatches his evil plan, puts the wheels in motion, and succeeds in ridding Whoville of Christmas. Or so he thinks. Can the true meaning of Christmas be stolen? If it can’t, will the old Grinch himself have to change?

Isn’t it time you grabbed a movie, a snack, your favorite blanket, and your family, and spent some time together? This Christmas make a movie date with the people you love. Have some laughs, snuggle, and enjoy!
