While casting about for feel-good stories, we remembered the lost and starving Magellanic penguins that were airlifted to safety by the Brazilian army last fall. The young penguins, whose home is in the southern Atlantic, had wandered too far north, washing up on the warm beaches of Brazil by the hundreds, and the situation looked grim when "animal-welfare activists loaded the birds onto a Brazilian air force cargo plane and flew them 1,550 miles to the country's southern coast, where a crowd of onlookers celebrated as the penguins marched back into the sea." Definite feel-good material.
Disney's Polynesian
Disney's Polynesian Resort holds a charm for both first-time visitors and those nostalgic for the classic Disney experience. One of the original three choices for accomodations in Disney World, Disney's Polynesian Resort can make you forget how much things have changed here since the hotel opened in 1971. With lush tropical landscaping inside and out, white sandy beaches and a location you can't beat, Disney's Polynesian Resort is a good bet for a family getaway. Royal Shower
