Arriving in the Bahamas at the port of Half Moon Cay
Half Moon Cay, Little San Salvador Island, Bahamas
Half Moon Cay (pronounced Key) is a private island, which was known as Little San Salvador Island till Holland America changed the name to Half-Moon Cay, in honor of one of Henry Hudson's ships. Holland America Line purchased the island for $6 million US dollars in December 1996. When the island it is not being used by Holland America, Carnival Cruise Line ships make port there bringing guests to the island with tender boats to enjoy the nine miles of crescent shape beach which stretch along the vibrant blue waters. Half Moon Cay also serves as a nature preserve as Holland America takes great strides to maintain the ecosystem of this pristine island as only 45 acres of the 2,500 acre island have been developed. Half Moon Cay mostly is mostly a deserted island when ships are not in port no more than 20 year round caretakers reside on the island. Workers from Eleuthera Island come to work at the Fort San Salvador Welcome Center marketplace along with staff members from the cruise ship that work in the cafeteria style food serving area that is not far from the swimming area of beach. Half Moon Cay has been voted the Best Private Island by Porthole Magazine for four consecutive years.

Impeachment trial of President Donald Trump
House Democrats prosecuting President Donald Trump's impeachment trial have started the second day of opening arguments. Democrats alleging a “corrupt scheme” by Trump involving Ukraine are trying to win over not just fidgety senators but an American public deeply divided by Trump's actions.
Prosecutors are relying on the same loops of videotaped testimony after Trump's allies in the Republican-controlled Senate blocked new witnesses.

One of the most popular attractions, beside the model trains, is the replica of the Hamburg Airport because it is a fully functioning miniature airport complete with departures and landings of model airplanes. I guess, you will not believe your eyes when you watch this video.

SUMMARY
=======
Tel Aviv (Hebrew: תֵּל אָבִיב, [tel aˈviv], Arabic: تل أَبيب) is the second most populous city in Israel—after Jerusalem—and the most populous city in the conurbation of Gush Dan, Israel's largest metropolitan area. Located on the country's Mediterranean coastline and with a population of 443,939, it is the economic and technological center of the country.
Tel Aviv is governed by the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, headed by Mayor Ron Huldai, and is home to many foreign embassies. It is a global city and is ranked 25th in the Global Financial Centres Index. Tel Aviv has the third- or fourth-largest economy and the largest economy per capita in the Middle East. The city has the 31st highest cost of living in the world. Tel Aviv receives over 2.5 million international visitors annually. A party capital in the Middle East, it has a lively nightlife and 24-hour culture. Tel Aviv is home to Tel Aviv University, the largest university in the country with more than 30,000 students.
The city was founded in 1909 by the Yishuv (Jewish residents) as a modern housing estate on the outskirts of the ancient port city of Jaffa (Hebrew: יָפוֹ Yafo), then part of the Jerusalem province of Ottoman Syria. It was at first called 'Ahuzat Bayit' (lit. building houses, the name of the association which established the neighbourhood), a name changed the following year to 'Tel Aviv'. Its name means Ancient Hill of Spring. Other Jewish suburbs of Jaffa established outside Jaffa's Old City even before Tel Aviv, eventually became part of Tel Aviv, the oldest among them being Neve Tzedek (est. 1886).Immigration by mostly Jewish refugees meant that the growth of Tel Aviv soon outpaced that of Jaffa, which had a majority Arab population at the time. Tel Aviv and Jaffa were later merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the Israeli Declaration of Independence, which was proclaimed in the city. Tel Aviv's White City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, comprises the world's largest concentration of International Style buildings, including Bauhaus and other related modernist architectural styles.
