...company raised $1.67 billion in cash and millions for its individual employees. But it wasn?t without some turbulence. Brin and Page ran afoul of the SEC, reduced the number of shares sold and slashed the offering?s price-range - to mention just a few of the final hour antics. At one point, given what seemed like sour demand, some speculated that Google might even call the whole thing...
...Makalu. (K-2, the second tallest at 8,611 m, is over the western horizon in Pakistan.) Sandakphu is itself pretty high up at 3,638 m, and the easiest access is by one of Darjeeling's famous vintage Land Rover taxis: it's a bumpy four-hour ride over some nasty terrain. The scenic route is on foot, a 30-km trek from Manebhanjan town. The route is dotted with rhododendron and magnolia forests and calls for many steep climbs, all of which will slow you down - the better to take in the stunning views. Expert trekkers can make...
...from the crush of tourists in cooler months - or, for regular visitor Kate Moss, from the unwelcome intrusions of the paparazzi. The hotel, converted from a 16th century Andalusian manor, is a cosy redoubt defended by 3,000 acres of olive and orange groves in the Sierra Morena, an hour's drive northeast of the city.

Upon arriving, the visitor is greeted by a lobby whose walls have been fashioned from giant old-fashioned olive vats, and which leads into...
...About an hour outside Houston, at the end of a dirt road, sits a rambling ranch house where peacocks, emus and even a camel wander in the yard. It's hardly what you would expect the U.S. national training center for gymnastics to look like. But this is gym HQ because Bela and Martha Karolyi live here. Once a month, they open their 2,000-acre spread to a few elite gymnasts in an effort to return the U.S. to the glory of 1996. That was the year Martha coached the U.S. women's squad--the Magnificent Seven...
...love bubbly, then a trip to the Champagne region of France--about an hour-plus train ride from Paris--is worth the jaunt. But be forewarned: the climate can be lousy. I was as chilled as a glass of Blanc de Blanc while visiting one of Moet & Chandon's vineyards near Epernay in July. The generally crummy weather is considered one of the key ingredients besides the area's chalky, bone-white soil that help this region of France produce the best of bubbly...
