Five Days in Vegas

February 5, 2006 by Michael LevyLeave a Comment

Our plane touches down at eleven o'clock pm after a five hour flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My wife and I start our five day vacation in-famous Las Vegas. For fifty-nine years I have been meaning to pay a visit to the city where anything goes and finally I have made it thanks to a little incentive from Hurricane Ivan. We jump into a taxi and right away the happy-go-lucky driver wants to know if we want to take the freeway or the strip … [Read more...]

How to Win Big in Vegas B4 You Even Get There

February 5, 2006 by Caterina ChristakosLeave a Comment

Most of us worry about trying not to lose our shirts once we get to Vegas, but what about before we even depart? There are dozens of ways to save money on your next Vegas vacation before you even leave home. Here are just a few. 1) Always order vacation packages. If you order the air, hotel and car separately, you almost always pay more. Many of these companies have partnerships and will lower the airfare if you plan to stay in one of their … [Read more...]

Las Vegas

February 5, 2006 by Caterina ChristakosLeave a Comment

One of the most exciting tours I have ever taken in my life was one of my Las Vegas grand canyon tours. Imagine floating in the air over the grand canyon, one of the wonders of the world. As we arranged for the champagne lunch tour, the helicopter company sent a limo to pick us up at the hotel. The ride lasted about five minutes then we were dropped off at the helicopter launch. Fellow passengers from all over the world chatted and waited for … [Read more...]

The Memorials of the Black Hills of South Dakota

February 5, 2006 by Johnny VannesteLeave a Comment

A recent trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota has filled yet another page of this writer's ledger of beautiful places to visit. The rolling landscape of the Black Hills, the stark contrast of the nearby Badlands, and the memorials of the Black Hills area present a vacation experience that will not soon be forgotten. South Dakota is a sparsely populated state of only 760,000 inhabitants, averaging only 10 inhabitants per square mile. Proud … [Read more...]

Serious Romance at an Oregon Coastal Inn

February 5, 2006 by Andre HagestedtLeave a Comment

wheeler-oregon

On Oregon's northern coast, the tiny town of Wheeler sits at the edge of a pristine bay that cloisters all sorts of wonders, which stay even more secret because they often get passed over by the major tourist publications. A mere few blocks long, if you blink you may miss this diminutive gem, where antique shops seem to be the number one industry (there are four such shops, yet only two lodgings and two restaurants). All of this looks out over … [Read more...]

Cannon Beach

February 5, 2006 by Andre HagestedtLeave a Comment

cannon-beach-oregon

Oregon's coastline is full of secrets: veiled pleasures and surprises, clandestine, deserted beaches and hidden gems peppering the towns in the form of lodgings or eateries. But perhaps the most stunning secret on all of Oregon's coast lies just outside of the art and culture mecca of Cannon Beach, on the north coast. There's a castle a bit south of town, hidden behind the walls of trees just north of the Arch Cape Tunnel. You can become king … [Read more...]

The passing of the Memorial Day weekend marked the start of the travel season and one Texas hotspot is gearing up for another busy summer. Voted America's Dream Town in 2004, Glen Rose is one of the most popular travel destinations in Texas.
