For many, summer means a
pilgrimage to a
hometown or a
favorite stretch
of
seashore—
with sand castles,
fireflies,
and lemonade
to enjoy. For
others, it might
be exploring the
latest destination
du jour and creating new traditions. As for families, parents get to
relive the idyllic joys of summer
through the eyes of their children—the
entire family enjoying the respite from
the rigors of the school year schedule.
And if camp is on your kids’ agenda,
take advantage
of the time apart
to
catch
up
on your favorite
personal activities that you
usually don’t get
to during the
year.
Whether
with or without
the grandkids,
empty nesters
can make the
most of their
golden
years
during the golden days of summer, too.
Regardless of how you spend your time,
it’s a fleeting season that should be
savored to the last drop.
Of course, relaxing at home is one of
summer’s greatest pleasures. Why not
make it a point to spruce up your
house? There’s no excuse under the
clear blue skies that you can muster to
not take advantage of the great weather
to get some of those home improvement
projects started or finished. Be honest;
You know the yard could be spiffed up
for all those pool parties and evenings
spent barbecuing.
Every time you use your MasterCard this summer, you’re entered
to win a priceless weekend escape—your very own weekend home.
A home-away-from-home that you can choose for relaxation or
recreation, rest, or rejuvenation with the people who matter most.

Summer is also the time of year to load
up the family wagon and hit the road.
While traversing the country, breeze right
through tollbooths with an E-Z Pass
transponder. Sixteen toll collection agencies utilize the E-Z Pass network, allowing
the transponder to be used at more than
46 bridges and tunnel crossings throughout New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and
West Virginia. Pass holders can also
receive monthly statements (paper or online) detailing their toll usage, eliminating
the need to ask for receipts. Simplify even
further and replenish your toll account by
using your MasterCard.
Another travel necessity that every
open-road-loving family should tote
along is a wireless phone. Much like a
good credit card, it's a priceless piece of
convenience that can make all the differ-
ence in the world when trying to reach loved ones,
confirm reservations, or
get out of a jam. AT&T
WIRELESS, which has one
of the best networks around,
is currently offering a
promotion to MasterCard
cardholders. Save $20 on
select new wireless phones
when you activate GoPhone
service online. GoPhone is
the flexible wireless service
that puts you in control.
There's no annual contract,
no credit check or startup fees. Don't
forget to use your MasterCard and enroll
in one of the convenient Auto-Payment
options. You can also get Free Weekends

a taste
of summer
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more
definitive sign of summer than the
smell of fresh cut grass and the aroma
of lighter fuel being sparked up, the
grill just waiting for its date with some
shish kebabs or a steak. Alfresco dining
is right up there with a baseball game
or a visit to your favorite swimming
hole, and is inevitably a must on
everybody’s weekend agenda. Don’t
forget to add some fun to your grilling;
perhaps a shiny new electric
or gas grill is in order, and
try circular skewers to add a
new twist to your routine.
Make sure to season foods

rubs, which lend a special
touch to your hibachi higlights. Omaha

Famed chefs and foodies alike know that the secret
to a great meal is starting with farm-fresh produce
and pairing the finished result with a fabulous glass
of wine. Summer is the ideal time of year to incorporate this lighter fare into your diet—and much of
it doesn’t require extensive prep time. Many
acclaimed chefs, including John Shields—whose
recipe you’ll find below—put an emphasis on freshfrom-the-market ingredients.
Mr. Shields is also a food journalist and television host who specializes in regional American
cuisine. He is the author of

If the summer heat isn’t your thing,
head for cover and the cooling hum of any
air-conditioned mall—a great respite from
humid locales or a mid-summer rain
storm. While everyone else is at the beach,
hit the sales, get your back-to-school
shopping done early, and treat yourself to

therapy, America’s other favorite pastime,
can be found throughout the United
States, and of course, online. If it’s really
hot, sequester yourself in fan’s reach and
click and charge away.
However, summer weekends are also
meant for getting out of the office, out of
the house, and out of being too much of a
grown-up! The Sharper Image® is the itspot for this summer’s must-haves for kids

trends to emerge this summer is the home
weather station. Wireless stations with

readouts of outdoor conditions are popping
up everywhere. Professional stations, once
only available to atmospheric scientists, are
now on sale for as little as $150.

drive, chip and putt
your way to lower scores
DRIVING can be easy since the lie is always level, the ball is always teed up and you have the widest target to aim at. Start your season by
driving the ball in play and gaining some confidence. Learn to aim at the target and hold the club properly and you will be able to return the
clubface to impact square to your target line more consistently. Maintaining your balance throughout the golf swing will help you make consistent solid contact with the center of the clubface and maximize your distance. Don’t get caught swinging too hard and miss the sweet spot.
swimsuit you lost in miami: $38
CHIPPING can be easily mastered if you keep things simple. Set up your chip shot by standing as close to
the ball as when you putt. Play the ball off the back foot, push your hands over the front foot, leaning
70% of your weight on the forward foot. This will help you hit the chip shot with a descending blow,
causing the ball to pop up and roll. By hitting these shots with a descending swing arc you will promote
solid contact and quickly build the confidence needed to get your chip shots close to the hole.

PGA Member,

PUTTING consistently well is an important part of any good player’s game. If you want to improve your
scores there is no better way than with good putting. All great putters hit their putts solidly. Keep your
head very still and work on not looking up until you think the ball has reached the hole. All
talented putters have great speed control. You can achieve this by working on
a consistent tempo and rhythm throughout your stroke. Set up to the ball and swing the
putter back and through to a cadence of “one-thousand one.” With a consistent pace on
your putter and solid contact you will make a lot of clutch putts.

he slower pace of summer means
you can rev up your weekend getaway plans and spend time
exploring the great blue yonder.
t
Summer is definitely the time for
travel, which is one of life’s greatest
pleasures, as well as an enjoyable way
to spend quality time with those you
love. New friendships are forged and
old ones rekindled, and everyone
appreciates getting away from the dayin, day-out routine.

Weekend getaways are
also a great way to take several “mini-vacations” and
expose yourself and your
family to a variety of new
locales and their flavors.
Whether rummaging around
antique stores, catching a fly
ball at the game, grabbing
for your nine iron, fishing
on a hidden lake, lingering
over a small town supper, or
simply letting all of your
cares melt away on a sandy
beach, travel offers up
invaluable experiences that
simply can’t be purchased.
The memories can last a lifetime, and it’s often these fabulous
flashbacks that motivate us to seek out
the places we’ve been before—to step
back in travel time, so to speak.
Much has been written about the
world as a stage or a classroom, and
this wouldn’t be the case unless there
was some truth in it. You’ll have to find
out for yourself, but most agree that
travel is one of the best ways to expand
one’s knowledge, experience new
things, as well as get a different perspective on the world and our role in it.
The real life experience is far more
powerful than looking it up online or
reading about it in a book.
Exploring the world around us can
be especially useful when we need to
get away from it all, find our
way out of a routine or rut
that isn’t serving us, or just
take a break—travel is a way
to shake things up. Whether
hitting the road solo, with a
spouse, a special someone,
the kids, or a good friend,
the experience can be downright transformative.
Laughing in the sunshine,
the thrills and near spills of a
roller coaster ride, roasting
marshmallows over an open
fire, or constructing a sand
castle—all fleeting summer
pastimes that make this time of year so
meaningful. They’re also some great
reasons to put responsibilities aside,
live in the moment, pack your bags,
and just go somewhere, whether close
by, far off, an old favorite getaway, or
simply a place you’ve never been.
Travel, like wine, also seems to get
better with age. This could be attributed to the experience that’s attained
by roaming through small towns and
big cities.

Delightfully dizzying is what best
describes the array of attractions available
in modern-day Orlando. Any visitor will
feel like a kid in a candy store trying to
decide where to start. Topping the list of
course, is the famed Universal Orlando®
Resort — an entire vacation destination
featuring two amazing theme parks —
Universal Studios Florida® and Universal’s
Islands of Adventure®. However, more
than 95 additional attractions beckon, as
well as some of the most comprehensive
eco and outdoor activities. And don’t forget about the world-class spas, shopping,
and entertainment options, including
many “unexpected” fine art venues.
In keeping with tradition, Universal
Orlando Resort has done it again, smash-
ing standards and pushing boundaries
with their latest attraction, Revenge of
the MummySM, based on the blockbuster
Mummy movies. Heralded as the world’s
first psychological thrill ride, Revenge of
the Mummy proves to be a battle for the
very soul of each guest—a good-versusevil conflict that blurs the line between
reality and fantasy. Entire walls burst
into flame—bigger, hotter, and closer to
guests than any theme park attraction
has ever done. Robotic figures years in
development display a speed and range
of motion that sets new standards for
theme park automation.
Those up to the challenge are shot into
darkness, traveling 45 feet in 1.5 seconds—
uphill–before plunging beneath ground
level, where they experience seven “nearzero G” moments and high-speed turns as
steep as 80 degrees—all in desperate combat with The Mummy and his warriors.

PRICELESS SUMMER WEEKENDS 2004 ••
No matter which way you shake, rattle, or
roll it, Las Vegas has emerged as a fullservice vacation destination with flavors
for every fancy. Long in the limelight for
casinos and incandescent neon lights, it
has since hit its stride as a major getaway
for the entire family, with kid-friendly
shows, theme parks, world-class art and
entertainment, shopping, and pool parties
galore. The desert is also a beautiful place
to explore year-round, and several natural
wonders are just a stones throw away from
the hustle and bustle of the infamous Strip.
The desert outpost offers myriad shows
to choose from, but it’s the smash hit
musical Mamma Mia! that should be at the
top of your “must see” list. Named 2003
“Show of the Year” by Las Vegas Review
Journal, the musical, based on the songs of
ABBA, has become a true international
phenomenon seen by more than ten million people worldwide. Mamma Mia!
recently celebrated their one-year anniversary at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and continues to perform to sold out audiences.
Truth be told, Las Vegas sizzles all year
long, but especially when summer temperatures really get the soiree started. Luckily,
Las Vegas invented the pool party and it
remains one of the best places to keep your
cool in Sin City. Check out the “swimming
holes” at the major hotels where you’ll be
transported to island oases in the middle of
the desert complete with sandy beaches,
palm trees and even luaus!
Those who want in on the scene but
simply can’t part with the comforts of the
great indoors should rent a poolside

cabana. Nearly every major property features luxury tents sporting a variety of
amenities like oversize lounge chairs, private patios, marble tables, dressing areas,
telephones, electrical outlets (for CDs or
laptops), misting systems, ceiling fans, wet
bars, and even refrigerators.
On the flip side, those yearning for
steep drops, enormous waves pools, and a
plethora of water rides, find heaven on
earth at Wet ‘n Wild. Located on the Strip
next to the Sahara Hotel & Casino, the
giant water park touts a 500,000-gallon
wave pool, the Surf Lagoon, which ranges
in depth from eight feet to just two inches. The park was recently named one of
America's Top Ten Best Water Parks.
If dry heat is what you seek, tee off at
any of the 60 plus courses in Southern
Nevada. Las Vegas is no longer golf's bestkept secret and offers challenging yet
beautifully sculptured courses developed
by world-renowned golfers and designers
including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf,
Billy Casper, and Arnold Palmer.

worth a stop
to peek at the art deco embellishments

the canyon surrounding it. Visitors are
able to watch a movie on the history

the exhibits on its construction at the
visitor center.
The by-product of the dam, Lake
Mead, is hopping come summer, with its
550 miles of shoreline beckoning fisher
folk, water-skiers, and swimmers looking for an escape from the desert sun.
Don’t forget your sun block!
If the rouge canyons struck your
fancy, hightail it to Red Rock Canyon,
a scenic area of rock formations and
desert with a 3,000-foot escarpment
produced by a thrust fault. For the
non-geologically gifted, that means a
cool ledge. The Canyon is open yearround and if you’re lucky, you might
see feral horses, wild burros, bighorn
sheep, coyotes, and a healthy variety of
desert plant life. And you thought the

Vegas, is great for a picnic. Full-service
camping and hotel accommodations are
also available.
However, those visiting Vegas to try
their hand at winning over Lady Luck
head to any one of the Coast Casinos,
four of the city’s most popular casinoresorts, catering to tourists and locals
alike with a wide array of entertainment
options. Since the 1970s, Coast has been
a leader in world-class dining, spectac-
26
ular hotel rooms, and fast-paced casino
action, as well as offering bowling centers (locals take a game of ten pin
mighty seriously), stadium-seating
movie theaters, and hundreds of onearm bandits. The biggest bee in Coast’s
bonnet is the Orleans Casino Resort,
which is home to the new $65-million
Orleans Arena, a combination sports
stadium and concert venue that hosts
professional ice hockey, concerts, championship boxing, and many other
events. See www.coastcasinos.com for
details on all of the properties.
Another big event venue, home to
some of the hottest headliners in the
country, is Caesars Entertainment. The
Vegas powerhouse continues to up the
ante as it gears up for the North
American premiere of the rock-musical
“We Will Rock You” at Paris Las Vegas
later this summer. Featuring Queen’s
greatest hits, “We Will Rock You” has
been playing to sell-out crowds and
standing ovations since it first opened in
London two years ago.
With a longstanding history of
extraordinary entertainment, Caesars
Palace is proud to present world-famous
production shows such as Celine Dion’s
“A New Day” and Elton John’s “Red
Piano” inside the remarkable 4,100-seat
Colosseum. Across the street, the talented Gladys Knight and hilarious George
Wallace grace the stage of the Flamingo
while the Jubilee! showgirl spectacular
at Bally's continues to entertain guests
nightly with its colorful costumes and
lavish sets.
Beauty and grace embrace you at The
Venetian, a masterpiece of inspired
architecture and impeccable service.
Boasting the world’s largest standard
suites, unparalleled shopping, 17 worldrenowned restaurants, and the famous
Canyon Ranch SpaClub, The Venetian is
the new standard by which you will
judge luxury and elegance.

PRICELESS SUMMER WEEKENDS 2004 ••
Southern California has long been the
apple of the vacation dreamer’s eye, and
the fabled land of palm trees and surfers
strolling through golden streets doesn’t
disappoint. In addition to the panoply of
outdoor recreation, Southern California
boasts several cities loaded with attractions: high-tech theme parks, museums
and galleries, adobe missions, entertainment, and enough shopping to give any
fashionista pause. Dining in this promised land isn’t just hype either; the area
boasts super-fresh Californian cuisine,
truly authentic Mexican specialties, a full
range of Asian cuisines, and everything
in between.
Los Angeles is at the center of the
“SoCal” orbit and inevitably a place that
visitors will spend at least a day exploring.
The entertainment capital of the world is
home to many star-filled studios, but
Universal Studios HollywoodSM, The
World’s Largest Movie Studio and Theme
Park, rolls out the red carpet in a way that
makes everything else pale in comparison.
This summer marks an exciting and highly anticipated milestone for Universal
Studios. In addition to celebrating its 40th
anniversary, the park is rolling out its latest coup de grâce, the much anticipated
Revenge of the MummySM—The Ride. The
thrill ride, based on the hit movie The
Mummy, is equal parts high-tech roller
coaster, dark ride and CGI effects. Guests
will hurtle through authentically designed
Egyptian sets, chambers, passageways,
and tombs filled with deadly curses, powerful forces of nature, and vengeful creatures intent on wreaking havoc.
With so many rides to tame and sights
to see, make the most of your time at the
park by using the handy Print-at-Home
ticketing option, available exclusively
through the theme park’s web site,
www.universalstudioshollywood.com.
Guests print redeemable tickets from their
movie theaters, and nightclubs, punctuated by outrageous and whimsical storefront decorations. A stop at CityWalk® is
the perfect complement to a day at the
theme park and it’s especially vibrant
after the sun goes down when neon signs

personal computers, and upon arriving,
bypass ticket booth lines and proceed
directly into the park where their tickets
are scanned. Guests can purchase Frontof-Line ticket options as well as the popular “Celebrity Annual Pass,” which enables
guests to visit the park over and over
again. Best of all, when you purchase four
tickets online with your MasterCard, you'll
get a fifth ticket FREE!
Another premium way to experience
Universal Studios Hollywood is through
their exclusive “VIP Experience,” which
offers guests unprecedented “backstage”
studio access. Adjacent to the theme park
is Universal CityWalk®, a fantasy world
of more than 65 restaurants, shops,

Keep your MasterCard card handy as you

Party Pass. 10% off at select restaurants
and retail locations. And if you have
children, they can eat free... all when
you pay with your MasterCard. See
mastercard.com/destinations for details.
Before heading out of the City of
Angels, make time to see the Getty
Museum, a postmodern fortress filled
with priceless art collections; shop and
people-watch along Melrose Avenue or
around Hollywood and Highland; and of
course, spend some time on a beach
towel at any of the sprawling sandy

beaches that frame the western edge of
this attention-loving metropolis.
Reaching all the way to Mexico, San
Diego encompasses some of the best
weather in Southern California and is a
treasure trove of activities for visitors of
all ages. Several new attractions have been
unveiled just in time for summer,
making it an ideal time to visit.
Always a favorite with little
tikes and their parents, Legoland
California has more than 50
fantastic rides and Lego legacies.
The land of Lego is
turning five this
year, and big plans
are in the wings.
Highlights include
additions to the
famed “Miniland,” a shiny new
roller coaster, a celebrity "blockof-fame," a sand excavation, and
an interactive fire-fighter racing ride.
www.legoland.com
News at SeaWorld includes the lifting
of the curtain on the 130,000-gallon
Commerson’s Dolphin Exhibit, and
Journey to Atlantic, a wet-and-wild
adventure ride featuring a 60-foot watery
plunge that recently joined the league of
other robust rides at the park.
Not to be overlooked, “Absolutely
Apes,” a tropical habitat for orangutans
and siamungs, is debuting at the San
Diego Zoo, which also recently celebrated
the birth of Mei Sheng, the new giant
panda. If the Wild Animal Park is on your
agenda, too, consider purchasing the 3for-1 Pass, which grants visitors five days
of unlimited entrance to all three animal
attractions. Passes can be purchased at the
zoo and at www.sandiegozoo.org.
