Sizzling hot beaches, cool delicious fruity
drinks and the brightest blue turquoise
waters will have you quickly planning your
next trip to the Caribbean. The Caribbean
has multiple highlights to entice tourists.
Honduras, St. Maarten, and Costa Maya,
Mexico are just some of the many enticing
Caribbean destinations tourists love to
discover by land and by sea.

One way to explore these unique
Caribbean destinations - and many others
- is on Celebrity Cruises' award-winning
Celebrity Solstice, now sailing year round
to both eastern and western Caribbean
destinations. While onboard, you can
experience activities to suit your interests,
whether it's sampling wines from around
the world, learning a new language or
putting for par on a bed of real, growing
grass. It's all part of their new brand
platform, "Designed for you."
"All of our onboard experiences are designed to provide our guests with colorful memories that they will
remember long after they disembark," says Celebrity's president and CEO Dan Hanrahan. For an idyllic
Caribbean vacation, consider the exotic destinations of St. Maarten, Honduras or Costa Maya, while
enjoying a seven-night cruise on Celebrity Solstice. Visit www.celebritycruises.com for more information.
Our world is more connected than ever before. One of the best things
you can do to prepare your kids for the future is to raise them as
citizens of the world.

Here are some ways that you can start to bring various cultures into the
lives of your children.

* Invite the world into your home by hosting an exchange student.
Hosting a high school foreign exchange student goes beyond a brief
meeting and forges a lifelong bond between your children and students
from abroad. Families that want to host a student can contact EF
Foundation for Foreign Study, which brings more students to the United
States than any other exchange program, at www.effoundation.org.

* Sample cuisine from other countries.
Take the family out for a meal at a restaurant that serves food from
different countries or consider preparing world cuisine recipes together
at home.

* Learn another language as a family.
Consider learning a language as a family through community education
- you can even download language instruction podcasts or mp3s from
the Web.

Learning about the cultures and people of the world really does begin at
home. By helping them develop a broad worldview, you're giving your
kids a world of possibilities.
