And You Will Travel

For many, Washington D.C. is more than just the capital and administrative centre of the United States: it’s also the spiritual home of the nation, which houses some of its most important documents and artefacts. That’s why any vacation to Washington D.C. should incorporate a comprehensive tour of its many famous landmarks and highly acclaimed museums and galleries, in order to foster a better understanding of America’s historical legacy.

Of course, anyone intent on exploring Washington D.C. will likely have the White House as their most important point of interest. However, it’s crucial not to let the allure of the President’s abode get in the way of appreciating the city’s other well-known political landmarks. Pay a visit to the National Mall -, a large open area which features many monuments to American leaders, including the Washington Monument. In close proximity to the Mall, you’ll also find the Lincoln Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Albert Einstein Memorial.

Overview
There are two sides to Victoria that appeal to tourists. The first is the city’s connection to its British beginnings — Victoria is the most British city in Canada. The other side is the city’s tourist appeal. Recently named one of the world’s ten best cities to visit by a leading U.S. travel magazine, Victoria is overloaded with tourist attractions, including the Royal London Wax Museum, the Pacific Undersea Gardens, Miniature World, English Village, and Anne Hathaway’s Thatched Cottage. The most popular district of Victoria is the Inner Harbor, home of the Royal British Columbia Museum and the Empress Hotel. Victoria is also the home of some of Canada’s finest beaches. The best in the city is Willows Beach, but there are others in the suburbs that are nicer and less crowded.

Sightseeing Attractions
While the Undersea Gardens and the Royal London Wax Museum are very tourist-oriented attractions, they do have their appeal. Keep in mind, though, that entry fees are typically high. The Inner Harbor and Chinatown are appealing and worth visiting for their cultural appeal. The streets of the Inner Harbor are packed with artists and musicians selling their work and filling the streets with music. Chinatown is a great place for market shopping and for dining on traditional Chinese cuisine. The Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay make for a great day trip. They were built over what used to be a limestone quarry and now have fireworks during summer nights and Christmas lights during the winter months.

Looking for a beautiful lake to relax at during the summer? Rushford Lake NY will definitely fit the bill! It’s located in Allegany County and is northeast of Olean, NY. This man made lake is home to great fishing, boating, hunting and much more!

My family and I have been vacationing at Rushford Lake New York for years and get to the lake every chance we get. For us, it’s about a 90 minute drive. The drive however is a nice drive through the woods and many small towns such as Holland and Arcade. When we start getting close to our cottage, our hearts start pumping as we know any worries or stress will be checked at the car.

Overview
Copenhagen, the capital of Scandinavia, is one of Europe’s smallest capitals and one of the most easily traveled. Copenhagen’s center, Slotsholmen, encompasses no more than a thirty minute walk from one side to the other. Slotsholmen is the district with the most historical and architectural appeal of the city. On the opposite side of the Slotsholmen Kanal is Indre By, the most-modern city district, packed tightly together with cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, churches, and museums. Opposite of Indre By is the island of Christianshavn, Copenhagen’s art district. Northeast of Indre By is Copenhagen’s former aristocratic district, home of several palaces, including the Rosenborg palace, and Kastellet, the oldest continually-utilized military fort in Europe. South of Indre By is Rådhuspladsen and Central Station.

Tourist Attractions
Copenhagen is home to many amazing museums: Bakkehus Museum, the Barbie Doll Museum, the Museum of Modern Glass Art, Museum Erotica, the Museum of Copenhagen, the National Museum, and the Worker’s Museum, just to name a few. All of these museums display an interesting array of treasures that Copenhagen tourists will enjoy browsing. A trip to Amalienborg Palace to watch the changing of the guards can be an enjoyable experience, and the Botanic Garden is a must-see for flora enthusiasts. Kids will enjoy a trip to the Copenhagen Zoo, and art enthusiasts will want to take a trip to see Edvard Eriksen’s statue of the Little Mermaid.

It was a tough task trying to narrow down the top 5 places I would choose to go to if I hired a charter bus because there are too many places I would love to visit again in Phoenix. Ranking my fav Phoenix attractions was tough, but here they are for you to enjoy.

1. Desert Botanical Garden
To me, the Desert Botanical Garden is the best place in Phoenix to take a charter bus to. It has one of the world’s largest collections of desert plants – just something you don’t usually see in other botanical gardens in other parts of the country. They have a wide variety of endangered species of plants there; so, when you’re in Phoenix, get the charter bus to take you Papago Park Desert Botanical Garden. You won’t regret it.

When planning a vacation to Paris you want to consider activities, entertainment, meals, and of course some of the world famous attractions. Paris has a wide array of choices from sporting events, art festivals to fine dining.

In Paris, many people stay in apartments for vacation. The hotels are nice, yet the apartments are cheaper and more relaxing with more of a home feeling. Moreover, an apartment has extra living space versus a hotel. Some of the apartments in Paris are on islands or neighboring environments along the exquisite Seine River.

Sometimes I think that even if nobody new ever went on a first-ever cruise to Alaska, the cruise industry would stay busy with Alaskan cruises just taking people who’ve already been there back again…and again.

The largest state in a very large country, Alaska is probably not the place you think it is. First, it is a vast land where civilization exists in outposts against a wilderness background. There are many parts of Alaska where animals outnumber people.

If you are trying to decide where to go for your post wedding trip a honeymoon in Jamaica is one of the best places to choose for those days of romance and bliss. Jamaica, an island nation in the Caribbean Sea known for its scenery and amazing weather is one of the most gorgeous and romantic tropical honeymoon spots in the world. Going off to secluded lagoons, lying on pristine white beaches, watching the coconut fronds wave in the breeze are just some moments unique to a Jamaica honeymoon.

Jamaica has everything a newlywed couple needs to start their life together; steel drums, clear blue Caribbean waters, soft breezes, warm sand, and a slow island pace. It is lush, mountainous and offers plenty of adventure and honeymoon hideaways where any couple can spend intimate moments away from it all.
