You’ve heard of their California wine but did you know about the Ziplines?

“Napa Valley Ziplines, Napa’s newest high-flying adventure tour, is currently under construction in the western foothills of Yountville and on schedule to open to the public on September 15.”

“This will be a completely unique and widely accessible outdoor adventure,” said Napa Valley Ziplines Owner Brad Dropping. He added:

“Zip line tours have become one of the most popular attractions in major tourist destinations because these tours combine an unforgettable adventure with a scenic outdoor setting, and just about anyone can do it.”

The Napa Valley Ziplines course was designed specifically for first-timers. The first two zip lines will be the shortest and slowest of the course, designed to ease participants into the adventure.

Guided tour groups will pause here to enjoy the panoramic view of the vineyards spanning two miles across the valley floor all the way to the magnificent Stags Leap Palisades, which crown the eastern edge of the valley.

The zip lines will be linked by a series of platforms and short footpaths. Zip Guides will stop at several points along the way to point out interesting landmarks on the valley floor and discuss some of Napa Valley’s history.

The Zip ‘N Sip Tour (US$179, adults only) will begin with the 2.5-hour zip line adventure tour and afterwards, participants will be chauffeured to two boutique wineries for tastings and a catered picnic lunch served overlooking the vineyards.

The single daily departure will be at 10 a.m., finishing back in Yountville by 4 p.m. (wine tasting fees are not included.)

The Zip ‘N Go Tour (US$125, adults; $99 children under 18) will consist solely of the 2.5-hour zip line adventure tour, making it an option for families with children.

CEDAR CITY, UT – The Cedar City/Brian Head Tourism Bureau invites travelers to experience the spectacular fall foliage viewing of scenic Southern Utah, one of NBC’s Today Show’s “Eight Great & Unusual Fall Foliage Destinations”.

The region is famous for its incredible fall foliage viewing set against the stunning backdrop of the region’s national parks and scenic byways, which include Zion Nat’l Park, Bryce Canyon Nat’l Park, Cedar Breaks Nat’l Monument, Scenic Highway 14, and Utah State Route (SR) 143, the region’s famous “Patchwork Parkway” which was awarded National Scenic Byway status in 2010.

The region is within a few hours’ drive from major cities such as Flagstaff, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, and within a day’s drive of Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Denver.

Here’s a suggested route through the region that will allow travelers to see the best of Southern Utah’s fall foliage viewing:

Travelers start off in beautiful Zion National Park.

Upon leaving Zion, travelers follow HW 9 east to HW 89, then traveling north for 2.5 hrs to HW 12 and Bryce Canyon Nat’l Park.

After taking in all that Bryce Canyon has to offer, travelers return west to HW 89 and travel north to meet the Patchwork Parkway National Scenic Byway (Utah SR 143) which winds west through Dixie National Forest (2 hours) to Cedar Breaks National Monument. From Cedar Breaks travelers could venture on to Brian Head Resort (just 10 minutes away) to enjoy a scenic chairlift ride, mountain biking, disc golf, hiking trails or just to stay at one of their beautiful mountain lodges.

Alternatively, Cedar City is a short 30 minute drive from Cedar Breaks and offers a full range of lodging, shopping, restaurants and culture. The September fall foliage viewing season nicely coincides with the fall season of the Tony-award-winning Utah Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City.

This route could easily take days to finish, with endless opportunities for camping and hiking in each of the national parks along the way, or the route could be driven in one long day of spectacular fall foliage viewing.

Las Alcobas, Mexico City’s 35-room small luxury hotel, has introduced a modern and innovative dining experience with the opening of Dulce Patria, headed by celebrated chef and restaurateur, Martha Ortiz.

The 90-seat, two-story restaurant offers fine Mexican cuisine, comprised of traditional dishes reinterpreted in a modern context.

The hotel is located in the lively, urban atmosphere of the fashionable Polanco neighborhood.

Chef Ortiz, former executive chef of the well-known Águila y Sol in Mexico City, translates history and tradition onto the plate.

Paying homage to the rich, gastronomical heritage of Mexico, she focuses on an artful and commemorative portrayal of cuisine, reflective of the restaurant’s namesake – “Sweet Motherland” in Spanish.

The restaurant features market-fresh, seasonal menu Mexican favorites transformed into contemporary dishes. Dishes include fresh Quesadillas con Salsa Sultana, corn quesadillas with zucchini blossoms, Oaxaca cheese and roasted pine nuts; Vampire Cebiche, served with coconut and red prickly pear; Veracruz-Style Marimba Red Snapper; and a Mamey Custard, garnished with gold leaf and floral preserves for dessert.

Specialty cocktails include the Dulce Patria Margarita, mixed with pink prickly pear and golden sugar, and the Sweet Cilantro Elixir, among other libations.

A range of fine Mexican wines, tequilas and mezcals have been individually selected to complement Dulce Patria’s signature dishes.

Mexican architect and lighting consultant Victor Zapatero chose amber, gold and orange LED lights to illuminate the contemporary dining room, featuring scarlet-hued floors, speckled with gold leaf, and red and black furniture adorned with the symbol of a golden eagle — a national Mexican icon. Forming a stunning visual centerpiece of the restaurant, a dramatic spiral staircase leads to a bar and private dining room on the second floor.

Upstairs, glass doors give way to an outdoor terrace lined with local flora, offering views of the street below.

Located at Anatole France 100 in Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood, Dulce Patria is open Monday through Sunday for lunch; and Monday through Saturday for dinner.

In an Exclusive Broadcast Partnership with NBC News and NBC’s Peacock Productions, RMS Titanic, Inc., Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Leading Experts Join Forces this August to Preserve the Legacy of the Ship for all Time

Atlanta, GA, RMS Titanic, Inc. (the Salvor-In-Possession of RMS Titanic and its wreck site) in partnership with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Waitt Institute will conduct a ground- breaking expedition to Titanic 25 years after its discovery, to do what no one has ever attempted before: take innovative measures to virtually raise Titanic, preserving the legacy of the Ship for all time. NBC News and NBC’s Peacock Productions will be the exclusive broadcast partner, with exclusive coverage on MSNBC.com

In what is arguably the most technologically advanced scientific expedition to Titanic ever organized, RMS Titanic, Inc. has brought together a team of leading archaeologists, oceanographers and scientists including The Institute of Nautical Archaeology, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Sanctuaries Program, and The National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Center to execute this historic “mission of firsts.”

Launching from St. John’s, Newfoundland on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, this 20-plus day expedition will employ revolutionary acoustic imaging, sonar technologies and high resolution optical, video and 3-D imaging to provide the first comprehensive view of the entire wreck site with unprecedented accuracy and clarity.

Through this suite of sophisticated robots, sonars and cameras, leading experts will chart the boundaries of the wreck site, map the physical position of the Ship and its artifacts on the ocean floor, and create a blueprint that will inform the wreck site’s ongoing maintenance. Together, this data will work to paint a complete picture of Titanic that only a few have been able to witness first-hand.

Titanic enthusiasts will also experience the journey’s excitement and explore the wreck site in real time, with ongoing video feeds and photo postings, and interaction with key crew members through Facebook (www.facebook.com/rmstitanicinc),
Twitter (@RMS_Titanic_Inc) and by visiting www.expeditiontitanic.com 

“The significance and scope of this mission, the team we’ve assembled to carry it out, and the breakthrough technologies being deployed will give people the opportunity to experience Titanic like never before,” said Chris Davino, president of RMS Titanic, Inc. “RMS Titanic, Inc. has a singular purpose: to faithfully and respectfully preserve the memory of Titanic and of all who sailed with her. The goals and objectives of this expedition are fully aligned with that purpose.”

“As the first scientific expedition of this magnitude since Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, working with French colleagues from IFREMER, discovered the Titanic wreck site 25 years ago, this dive provides the perfect opportunity to utilize the exciting, new technologies we’ve been developing,” said Susan Avery, the president and director of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a leading voice in the oceanographic community. “This journey is going to give us important perspectives into the decomposition of the Ship and its effect on the ocean and the seabed.”
“NBC News is thrilled to be at the forefront of this expedition and we look forward to capturing all the work and cutting edge science involved in the retelling of this remarkable story,” said Sharon Scott, Executive Vice President of NBC News’ Peacock Productions.

Leading the expedition is P.H. Nargeolet, director of Underwater Research for RMS Titanic, Inc. and a widely acknowledged authority of the site. A veteran leader of five previous journeys to the wreck, Nargeolet has completed 30 Titanic dives, supervising the recovery of some 5,500 artifacts along the way. “Never before have we had the scientific and technological means to discover so much on an expedition to Titanic,” said Nargeolet. “I’m energized and honored to be leading this all-star team of experts on a fascinating journey.”

Co-leading the expedition is David Gallo, director of special projects at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Gallo actively promotes deep-sea exploration and is moved by the unprecedented collaboration between private, non-profit, and government entities to make this expedition a success.

“There is a tremendous amount of technology and talent being focused on preserving this important icon of world history, the clear beneficiary will be the public-at-large,“ said Gallo.

In virtually raising Titanic through three-dimensional modeling for the first time, this eighth expedition to Titanic by RMS Titanic, Inc. will mark numerous other firsts:
It is the first time this deep water wreck site will be transformed into an archaeological site with all scientific data available for review and study, including all of the factors influencing the wreck’s deterioration. This “road map” for the wreck site has critical implications for Titanic’s future.

Microorganisms collected at the site and evaluated through advanced technology may turn out to be distant relatives of the original microorganisms that went down with Titanic, which will unlock a wealth of new understanding and information about biodeterioration.

The use of high definition and 3D (3DHD) video will produce the clearest images yet of the wreck and its surroundings.

The mission will gather critical information to develop new standards in underwater archaeology for maritime heritage site management, especially in the deep sea.
Assembled by RMS Titanic, Inc. this is the first time that a team of leading authorities has come together on a mission to Titanic, each united in the quest to model and map Titanic for future generations and to work for the site’s long term preservation.
Located 2.5 miles below the ocean surface, Titanic came to rest in a three-square-mile field of debris. This summer, a “dream team” of oceanographic experts, technical innovators and marine archaeologists have joined together in cooperation to achieve the mission’s ambitious goals.

“The Institute of Nautical Archaeology pioneered the scientific study and excavation of shipwrecks through the work of Dr. George Bass fifty years ago,” said James P. Delgado, president and CEO of Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the expedition’s principal archaeologist leading the effort to write the archaeological report and site plan after the mission.

“Since then we have been involved in cutting edge work to refine the practice of archaeology beneath the water. We’re pleased to be invited to join this mission, working with leading researchers at Woods Hole, our government colleagues, and with RMS Titanic, Inc. to move in new directions for this site, and for science. This is a major step forward for this wreck, for understanding and working with deepwater shipwrecks, and represents all of us working for a common goal in the public interest.”

Additional organizations include: Droycon Bioconcepts- pioneers in the biological corrosion of shipwrecks, as well as scientific analysis of deep ocean flora; Nautilus Marine Group International- the premiere provider of underwater services, spanning condition assessment, navigational charting, and archaeology; and Kongsberg Mesotech Ltd.- the Canadian leader in the design and manufacture of underwater acoustic equipment, specializing in high-resolution sonar systems.
