El viajero ha evolucionado. Hasta ahora, las guías de viaje tradicionales eran su mejor compañero de viaje. Sin embargo, con la aparición de los nuevos medios y de Internet, la preparación del viaje es mucho más detallada y el viajero tiende a informarse, a construir su viaje en función de sus gustos e intereses y a prepararse su viaje en base a las recomendaciones reales de otros viajeros como él. Uniendo estos dos conceptos: las guías de viaje y las recomendaciones reales de los viajeros, minube ha creado las guías de viaje personalizadas, permitiendo al viajero crearse su guía en base a sus necesidades y gracias a los lugares recomendados por los viajeros. Hay dos tipos diferentes: las guías de destinos (por ejemplo, Nueva York), o las guías personalizadas en base a los rincones que el usuario se ha ido guardando en su perfil (útil para viajes que transcurren por diferentes ciudades: por ejemplo, “En coche por la Costa Azul”). En un minuto, el viajero puede crear su guía basada en las categorías que más le interesen: museos, restaurantes, parques naturales…Para que no se pierda nada de lo que le interesa y con la seguridad de saber que se trata de los sitios que los propios viajeros han descubierto y han querido compartir.

  • Lighthouse Extras
    Chicago Harbor Light Grosse Point Light Lighthouse Extras Add realism to your lighthouse models with railings and clear windows by printing or copying this page onto a transparency sheet such as that used for an overhead projector. Transparency film is a difficult material to work with. You may find that the glues you normally use with paper models are useless for film. Water-based glues will not work well on non-porous materials. Cyano-acrylate “super- glue” is too brittle to bond to the flexible film. Some kinds of contact cement work well, but use sparingly, as the acetone in the glue may dissolve the toner ink from the front of the film. Scratch the connecting surfaces to create a stronger contact. Its best to do some experi- Split Rock Lighthouse ments on scraps of film before you begin the model to find the best method. Scoring and folding the film is also a challenge. Its best to score the pieces on the reverse side to avoid scratching off the toner. Use a permanent marker to touch up around the edges wherever the toner has flaked off. If you aren’t yet scared off by the technical difficulties, you are ready to begin! If you make a mistake, there are two printed copies of all the pieces so you can try again. For the Chicago Harbor and Split Rock models, there are two small pieces that will need to be printed on plain cardstock to complete the model. Before gluing the glass cupola to the top of your lighthouse tower, why not place a miniature LED light inside? www.BuildYourOwnChicago.com.
