Summer Vacation Packing Checklist
http://www.amawaterways.com/infographics/news.aspx?article=f265dbdd-47a1-4a51-a7ea-c6289e48d82e | Every year there are millions of Americans that take a summer vacation. Whether it is a road trip across the country, a weekend in Mexico, or a European cruise, going on vacation means spending the last few days before you leave packing luggage. It is important to prepare for your vacation so you know what to pack, and you don’t find yourself needing clothing or supplies while in a foreign country. Here are some things to consider: What is the weather supposed to be like? Do you need to do laundry while on vacation? How many bags do you need to bring? Do you need power adapters or converters for electronics? To make sure that you don’t forget anything, it is a good idea to create a list. Include essentials like clothing, toiletries, medication, and travel documents. When packing your luggage, it is smart to color coordinate so that you have multiple outfit combinations to choose from when on a longer trip. By putting a simple piece of tissue paper between each layer of clothing, you can also prevent wrinkles. Once you are all packed and have everything on your list, you’ll be able to rest easy and enjoy your well-deserved vacation!

Cycling Through Europe
http://www.amawaterways.com/infographics/news.aspx?article=b188f00c-ca22-4b4e-b936-b7fceef46964 | When you are planning a bicycling trip through Europe, one of the first things you need to do is map out your itinerary. Deciding the roads and trails you will take is necessary, as well as developing a schedule that allows you to see landmarks, cultural centers, and the best in nature. Cycle through some of the most gorgeous landscapes in the world, including the Danube, Rhine, and Seine Rivers, to see such things as ancient architecture, picturesque vineyards, and storied cathedrals. Along the way you will be able to check off places to see from your list, including Germany, France, Switzerland, and more.
You can also get advice from cyclists who have completed journeys through Europe before, so you know what to expect. Be sure to pack maps and local currency, as well as camping supplies and personal items, to get you safely through each leg of the trip. A 2012 study estimated that there are more than 2.2 billion cycle tourism trips taken each year; don’t wait to add your name to the list!

An Intro To Wine
http://www.amawaterways.com/infographics/news.aspx?article=6c7bef8d-60e6-4ad4-9849-728a365f68e8 | The story of wine is deeply interwoven in the story of human history. Since before 4100 B.C., when the earliest evidence of a winery is found in Armenia, to its arrival in the New World when Spanish conquistadors landed, to the globalization of wine due to travel and media, wine has spread throughout the world. It is produced on every continent except Antarctica, and has grown into an industry that some estimate is worth nearly $100 billion. There are many different types of wine. This variety comes from the kind of grape used and the method of production. Below we will introduce six of the most popular: merlot, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, shiraz or syrah, chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc. Having a basic understanding of the differences between each type, and what each tastes like, will give you a foot in the door of the amazingly complex world of wine.

All About the Mekong River
http://www.amawaterways.com/already-booked/mekong-cruises-travel-resources | As the Mekong River flows from Tibet through the rice-producing regions of Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, it hosts a fascinating underwater paradise of exotic fish. Only the Amazon River can compete with the Mekong’s diverse species of marine life. As the third largest freshwater fish in the world, the Mekong giant catfish can weigh over 750 pounds. At full maturity, the giant stingray can weigh up to 1,300 pounds. Known in the region as “Nine Dragons,” “Mother Water,” and “Turbulent River,” the Mekong River has played a fascinating role in wars throughout history. In the Vietnam War, the Mekong River provided a natural battlefront line between Vietnam and Laos. In ancient times, the Thai people escaped across the Mekong from China to establish their independence as the nation of Siam.
