What to See in Colorado

olorado has got to be one of the most beautiful states in the United States. Having just about any kind of terrain imaginable, and a variety of climates to match - as well as rapid weather changes, there is something for just about anyone - all year around. About half of the state is a plain and capable of good crop growth, but the western half is mostly mountainous - providing any visitor with magnificent sights all over. Denver, the state's capital, is setup on the High Plains in the South Plate River Valley.

Of the many things that Colorado is known for, its mountains are what brings the people here. Offering unequaled scenic views all over the mountains, its beauty is a constant draw for tourists throughout the year. With over 550 peaks that are over 13,123 feet (4,000 meters), many of these are snow capped through most months of the year. The highest peak is Mt. Elbert, which stands at 14,400 feet - and it is also the highest peak in the
Rocky Mountains, too.

Many people come to Colorado just for the peaks that are over 14,000 feet - there are 54 of them. Some, that love to climb, make it a goal to do something like climb 14 of the 14'ers (as they are called) in 14 days, or 21 in 21 days. Most can be climbed without any kind of special gear, but great caution is always advised. Others, that love the snow, may try something like skiing all of them in a year, or some kind of similar challenge.

One of the most fascinating mountains has got to be Pike's Peak. At 14,110 feet, this mountain has the highest road on it in the US. Besides that, when you get to the top, there is a store with a restaurant - and souvenirs. The views are breath taking, and well worth the trip. Bring a coat, though, because even in August it can snow up there. For those who may not want to drive to the top, there is a scenic train ride that runs all the up. After visiting here, you will understand what inspired Katherine Lee Bates to pen the words to our own special anthem - America The Beautiful.

Colorado Springs is right next to Pike’s Peak, so you will want to stop in and see some of the many sights while you are here. Among them would have to be the beautiful red rock formations at the Garden of the Gods. A nearby place, Cave of the Winds, will give you a tour through 20 lighted rooms in this cave – the area’s oldest public exhibit. At the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, you can see and feed some of the 500 exotic animals that live there. Then, for a change of pace, you can visit the Pike’s Peak International Raceway for some NASCAR racing. Not far from Colorado Springs is the new museum, the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park. This new 20,000 square foot museum features many dinosaur exhibits and has a working lab where the family can see real people cleaning and preparing real dinosaur bones for exhibits.

Mesa Verde National Park is another great place for sightseeing. This historic Indian village is considered one of the top 50 places in the world to see - according to National Geographic Traveler. These Indian adobe homes are built under a massive rock ledge and have existed for centuries, and then was abandoned around 1,300 AD. It is well preserved, fascinating, and you can even climb through and walk around the ruins. Also in the same Park, are many other archeological ruins that you can see while you are there. Mesa Verde is located in the Four Corners region of Colorado.

Another fantastic place to see is Royal Gorge. Here you will find the world's highest suspension bridge. It is more than 1,000 feet above the wild Arkansas River. You can drive across the bridge (there is a toll), or just walk across, for a great experience. There is also a tram that goes across the Gorge. It also holds a world's record, too, as being the longest single span aerial tram at 2,200 feet long.

While you are in the area of Royal Gorge, stop by and see a ghost town, and get a glimpse of the wild, wild west in action. Gunfights are held several times a day at the Buckskin Joe Frontier Town and Railway. There are also some other shows in the town, as well as a 30-minute train ride that takes you to the Royal Gorge. A restaurant in the town also gives you good food.

If you plan your trip ahead of time, you may want to spend some time on one of Colorado's dude ranches. Plenty of activities with an obvious way to get away from it all and relax a few days to a different lifestyle. Besides some of the roping and riding, however, dude ranches are now offering things like tennis, skeet shooting, biking, as well as fishing and hiking. Some places may even offer massages for those sore muscles after riding a few hours, and of course, there's the evening campfire - and some offer a gourmet meal. You select the options you want - and how long you can stay.

Colorado was made for whitewater rafting. With its many mountains and wild rivers you can find just about any level of whitewater rafting you want - just be sure to find out what level it is before you jump in your kayak or canoe. One of the most popular spots in the world is the Arkansas River - which is the river that runs under Royal Gorge. Rafting packages are available in many different locations and can be for an afternoon or a several day rafting trip. If you get a package, make sure you get it at least a month ahead of your trip - longer is better.

Other outdoor activities include golf, skiing, hunting and fishing. There are places all over the western half of Colorado where you can enjoy these activities to your heart's content. There are also a number of amusement parks such as Water World and Six Flags, the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, Captain Zip Line Adventure Tours, and many more.

What to See in Alaska

When Large Spaces Matter

Would you be surprised if we told you that Alaska is about 375 million acres in size but less than 1% of that is inhabited by humans? It’s actually double the size of Texas. Alaska lies at the northern tip of North America and separated from the rest of the US by Canada. Is that why Canada is so cold, or is it the other way around?

What images do you have of Alaska? If you said icebergs and snow-capped mountains, we’ll agree with you. If you said bears, we’d get all excited. We actually “trekked” to Alaska to get a good look at bears feasting on salmon, and for some odd reason the people we were traveling with chose Hyder, Alaska. Hyder is the twin sister city of Stewart, British Columbia. That’s how we crossed into Alaska. We landed at Calgary airport, drove all the way to British Columbia, and then bunked in at a bed and breakfast in Stewart. We were told by our host that the best time to go and watch the bears was around 7 pm. She said all we had to do was cross a dirt road and in less than a minute we’d be in Alaskan territory. That was neat, we thought. No more driving. We could visit two countries simply walking through a dirt road.

Hyder, Alaska is small so there’s not much happening. Its redeeming factor, however, is the reserve where the bears can be photographed chasing after salmon. There were hundreds of people already waiting in line, setting up their photographic equipment. Some even came with tents in case no bear would show up until 11 pm. But they were punctual alright and they put on a good show to the delight of weary travelers who came from afar.
But Hyder won’t tell you much about Alaska. It’s but a microcosm of this humongous state…

Alaskan Geography
Three distinct regions make up the entire state of Alaska:

* Inside Passage – this is southeastern Alaska. Miles and miles of islands and channels are situated in between the Pacific Ocean and Canada’s Coast Mountains. This is where the capital, Juneau, is and this part of Alaska has been labelled “picturesque” by frequent visitors.
* Northwest Alaska – it is closer to Russia than the lower 48 states and this region allows you access to the Kenai Peninsula and Denali National Park. From here you can get into Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula, if you’ve got the intestinal fortitude and a strong sense of adventure. Anchorage is in this region.
* Aleutian Islands – they are a volcanic archipelago and they extend 1,200 miles into the Bering Sea.

Alaska: Present Tense

The population is tiny – approximately 650,000 people live here. Of that number, 16% are of Native descent.

The economy of Alaska depends on oil, mostly from the North Slope, although tourism, government and seafood processing bring in revenues for the state as well. Anchorage, for instance, is a busy shipping cargo center.

Much of Alaska is natural wilderness and the government has taken steps to protect its natural beauty – the national parks attest to this rare beauty.

Given that Alaska is the largest American state, visitors will spend a lot of their time travelling within the sites. Major cities have good transportation systems and road travel is excellent. However, a substantial part of southeast Alaska is not accessible by road. Visitors who have taken the ferries will be familiar with the Alaska Marine Highway where you get breathtaking views of fjords, glaciers and natural forests. The vessels that cross are often well-equipped with cabins and dining areas. If you like, you can even set up your tent on the outer deck.

Points of Interest - Tourist hot spots and attractions

Ketchikan – this is your first stop as you make it to the Inside Passage. Ask where the former redlight district is – it’s now Creek Street precinct. From here you will see wooden houses standing over the water and linked together by a boardwalk.

Southeast Alaska Discovery Center – travelers strongly recommend you visit this center. If you are often intrigued by totem poles, you’ll find at least 30 here, and most of them are over 100 years old.

St. Michael’s Cathedral – everything about this cathedral is Russian. It is known as a Russian Orthodox cathedral and visitors will see the Sitka Madonna, supposedly possessing healing powers.

Juneau – considered remote but nevertheless fascinating. It’s the busiest area of the Inside Passage and boasts of tall, modern buildings. The Red Dog Saloon is a must, and so is the Alaskan Hotel. Travel brochures suggest taking the tramway all the way up to Mount Roberts. If you feel like seeing a real glacier up front, travel to the northern end of the city where the Mendenhall Glacier sits. From here, you can start a hiking trail or go rafting.

Glacier Bay National Park – more glaciers! One way of getting here is via a cruise ship, or via the hamlet of Gustavus from Juneau. Watch out for the tidewater glaciers – they are the top attractions of this national park.

Fairbanks – this is the second largest city of Alaska. It lies just 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle (brrrr), but its long winter nights are not that dreadful since winter nights are the best time to view the aurora borealis and the northern lights (produced by clasing protons and electrons). Fairbanks can get extremely hot (90 degrees F) in the summer and extremely cold (minus 60 degrees F) in the winter.

Denali National Park – Alaska’s top attraction. You want grizzly bears, you’ll see them here. Dall sheep anyone? Go to Denali. Wolves? Indeed. Many visitors with sophisticated camera equipment come to Denali National Park to get a slice of the phenomenal wildlife activity!

So whether you’re into grizzly bears, glaciers or fly fishing, come visit Alaska. It will certainly be different from the west coast or the midwest and you can fill your scrapbook with pictures that are out of the ordinary!

For history buffs, Alaska became the 49th US state in 1959.

Louisiana - Tourist Hot Spots and Attractions

Visiting Louisiana is a unique and memorable experience – or five unique and memorable experiences and things to do offerings. The State of Louisiana is made up of five distinct geographic regions, each of them offering a very different experience. From the bright lights and sparkling, quirky personality of Greater New Orleans to the thick, piney woods and solitude of Northern Louisiana’s Sportsman’s Paradise, the State of Louisiana offers five wonderful faces to the lucky visitor who gets to know it well.

Greater New Orleans
Located in the southeastern corner of Louisiana, New Orleans is the fabled Big Easy, the city that enchants visitors with its delightfully European architecture and atmosphere. New Orleans is a city to be experienced with all the senses. More than any other city in the nation, it has its own unique sound, its own taste, its own sweet scent. A visit to New Orleans is a journey into a different world, a world of lacy balconies and secret passageways in the Vieux Carre’, of decadent and luxurious mansions along St. Charles Avenues. Walk down Bourbon Street and listen to the very distinctive sound of New Orleans jazz. Wander in and out of the galleries and museums of the Warehouse District and feast your eyes on the artwork at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Steep your taste buds in the smoky flavor of gumbo, the decadent richness of pecan pie and the irresistible flavors of fresh crawfish and trout. There’s even something there for the Sixth Sense – the lovely and haunting marble tombs of the cemeteries of the Old Quarter, with their eerie hints of old stories and older mysteries.

Cajun Country
Following the Gulf of Mexico and stretching up into south central Louisiana is the unique flavor of Cajun Country. Settled by French Canadian refugees centuries ago, Cajun Country has developed its own unmistakable personality that you won’t find anywhere else. Cajun Country is rightly known for its spicy, fiery foods, its hot music and its wide-open hospitality. Cajun Country is Bayou Country, and the region is worth the visit even if you only come for the scenery. The magnificent waterways and swamps are home to Great Blue Heron, snowy egrets, and alligators. Cypress trees dripping with moss create an atmosphere of silky mystery against the stunning blue skies. No trip to Cajun Country would be complete without a visit to one or both of the living history museums in Lafayette. The Acadian Village is a recreation of a historic village complete with blacksmith shop and doctor’s office and the Mississippi Mud Museum. Vermilionville is a second reproduction village that authentically portrays Cajun/Creole heritage in the 19th century. Come to Cajun Country for fine dining, lively music, deep sea fishing on the Gulf Coast and wonderful, unforgettable adventures.

Plantation Country
The history of Louisiana would be incomplete without mentioning the magnificent Ante Bellum Plantations and mansions of Plantation Country. Many of the plantations in the southeastern part of Louisiana offer tours of the gardens and homes, and some accept overnight visitors and offer lodgings. As beautiful as the architecture and landscaping is, the true magic of Plantation Country lies in its stories and personalities. There’s not a plantation in the state that doesn’t have its tales of mystery, tragedy, Confederate spies and star-crossed lovers. Many of the plantations boast their own ghosts – and if you’re lucky enough to book a night at The Myrtles, known as the most haunted house in America, you may even get to meet one or two. Other plantations of note to visit while you’re in Louisiana include Nottoway Plantation, with a total of 365 doors and windows, one for each day of the year, and Houmas House, where the classic dark film Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte was filmed.

Crossroads
Located at the intersection of El Camino Real and the Natchez Trace, Crossroads offers a taste of all that is New Orleans. Crossroads is a wide swath across the center of Louisiana, where you’ll find everything from the stunning natural beauty of Kisatchie National Forest to the patterned elegance of the Cane River and other plantations. Among the most enchanting areas to explore, Crossroads offers the opportunity to travel El Camino Real, a National Historic Trail, and walk in the footsteps of history, or to navigate a canoe across the beautifully wild Kisatchie Bayou, or to hunt and fish in the unspoiled loveliness of Toledo Bend Reservoir. Crossroads is rightly famous for its bed and breakfasts, and for the enormous number of mansions and plantations that are on the National Register of Historic Sites. If you’re planning to stay in one of the cities of Crossroads, you might consider combining the two and staying in one of the many plantation houses that offer lodgings and breakfast. Dining in Crossroads is all about tradition – country fried chicken, barbecue and cornbread are on just about every menu – but there are a couple of absolute must-tries on any tour of Crossroads – Natchitoches Meat Pies and Cane River Cream Pie.

Sportsman’s Paradise
At the northern end of Louisiana are the beautiful, thick, piney woods of Sportsman’s Paradise. While Louisiana is well-known for its wealth of hunting, fishing and outdoor sports, nothing compares with the abundant beauties and rich recreational opportunities afforded by Sportsman’s Paradise. There are acres and acres of unspoiled woods and fields for bird-watching, fishing, hunting, hiking and other outdoor activities. The streams and lake bayous are famous for the size and abundance of the fish that are regularly pulled from them, and the weather supports all the outdoor sports and fun that you can handle. But there’s more to northern Louisiana than just sports. Shreveport and Bossier City offer glitzy nightlife and casinos, world class restaurants and fine hotels, and a short hop east to Monroe will put you on a riverboat ride for a delightful, lazy ride up the river. If what you’re looking for is relaxation, you’ll find it in any one of dozens of small towns in Northern Louisiana, where you can check into a local B&B and enjoy homemade peach cobbler and pecan pie, bottomless sweet tea and the view from a spacious front porch.

New Jersey - Tourist Spots and Attractions

ew Jersey couldn’t be farther from California in location and culture, but there’s one thing that these states having in common. If you’re living of visiting New Jersey, the first question that pops to mind for people learning about your stay there will always be: “North or South?”. California has San Francisco in the north and Los Angeles in the south. For New Jersey, the split is between New York in the north and Philadelphia in the south. Of course, there are places to visit in each state that don’t fall into these two categories, but nevertheless, you can usually define your travels by either your proximately to New York or your proximate to Philadelphia.

North New Jersey

North New Jersey (or just “North Jersey” to those familiar with the area) loosely includes Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union, and Warren counties. Some people also include Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Somerset counties in this definition, since they are officially part of the New York City metro area. Still others define North Jersey as everything north of Interstate 195 or everything north of the mouth of the Raritan River. When you’re in North Jersey and hear reference to “The City,” people are most likely talking about New York City. Many of the residents of North Jersey, in fact, commute to New York City for work every day.

One of the premier destinations in North Jersey is the New Jersey Botanical Gardens at Skylands, which is located in Ringwood. In the mind-1980s, one of the area’s historical Tudor manors and almost 100 acres of land were designated by the government as the State’s official gardens. This is a hot spot during the summer, especially on Friday nights with the gardens hosts their free summer concert series.

If you enjoy historical architecture just as found at the Botantical Gardens’ house, you might also enjoy the Sandy Hook Lighthouse, located just a short drive away in Sandy Hook. New Jersey is actually home to quite a number of lighthouses, but this is the older lighthouse still in operations in the entire United States.

If amusement parks and zoos are more your style, you can try visiting Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, Casino Pier and Breakwater beach in Seaside Heights, Keansburg Amusement Park in Keansburg, or Bowcraft Amusement Park in Scotch Plains. Remember, in North Jersey, you’re also not far from New York City, so you can very well take the train in for the day to visit the Bronx Zoo of the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn.

Before you leave North Jersey, some other popular destinations are total must-sees! In Stanhope, you have go to Waterloo Village, where you can travel back in time to see a colonial town as well as learn about the Native Americans that once lived in this area. Travel over to Netcong, and you can visit the Wild West City, a reconstructed frontier town, as well. Kids of all ages will also enjoy Northlandz in Flemington, NJ, where you can find a huge model train exhibit and doll museum.

South New Jersey

South New Jersey is more closely connected to a different city—Philadelphia. Most people consider Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties as those counties that are part of “South Jersey,” although, again, others consider certain roads or waterways the lines. Ocean County is sometimes includes as part of South Jersey, although it is officially a part of the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area.

In South Jersey, the Beach is king. Some of South Jersey’s most prominent beach communities includes Avalon, Cape May and Cape May Point, Longport, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Stone Harbor, Wildwood, and Ventnor. Actually, if you drive up of down the coat, almost all areas have beautiful beaches. Atlantic City is a very popular destination, as gambling here is completely legal and their casinos are beginning to rival those found in Las Vegas.

As you travel inland from the coast, the primary focus of this area is less on tourism and more on residential. Like many residents of North Jersey commute to New York City for work on a daily basis, South Jersey is home to many, many people who work in Philadelphia and commute there every day. Some of these residential areas are historically “good” places to live. Morristown, for example, was honored as one of the best places to live in the United States in 2005. However, areas like Camden are known for their high crime rate.

There are no shortages of fun things to do in South Jersey, however. Some interesting and popular attractions include the Garden State Discovery Museum in Cherry Hill where kids can really go wild and the Three Forts Ferry, where you can ride from Fort Mott to Fort Delaware. Older children and adults may also enjoy the Burlington County Prison Museum, a spooky historical site that features tours of old cells and dungeons. And, if you enjoy historical locations, you can also visit the Old Barracks in Trenton of the Batsto Village and Wharton State Forest in Hammonton.

Also popular in South Jersey is the Walt Whitman and His Invincible City tour, a planned tour of Camden in the surrounding areas where Whitman once lives and wrote. This is a two-hour tour via motorcoach and includes visits to the Walt Whitman House, Cooper Street, and Harleigh Cemetery. If you enjoy Whitman’s writings, you’ll be in awe to see some of the places that actually really inspired some of his best poetry.

Although there is a bit of rivalry between North and South New Jersey, you’ll find that the state as a whole is a great place to visit. Whether you want to spend your days at the beach, travel back in time, or visit New York City or Philadelphia for a bit of culture and shopping, New Jersey is a great stop on your next vacation. And who knows…you might love it so much that you decide to live there!

The size of California is vary large, which means that any traveling plans should probably be limited to one area of the State in order to see what is there. Its weather brings a near Mediterranean like climate, which means it is great for traveling almost year around, with it being cooler in the north part of the State. California is about 900 miles from north to south and about 200 miles wide. This means that just about any kind of terrain can be found there in this beautiful state.

Starting with some of the most well known natural places to see, would be the redwood forests. These largest trees on earth are up to about 370 feet tall - more than a football field, and have been there for centuries. While there, be sure to ride the SkyTrail - a tram that takes you above the trees (to a height of 742 feet) to give you a panoramic view of the trees and the coastline of California.

Yosemite National Park is one of the most beautiful places in California - and possibly on the earth. Known for its beauty because of its high waterfalls - three of the ten highest in the world, granite cliffs, sequoia trees, thousands of lakes and two rivers, this park is visited each year by more than 3.5 million people. There are more than 800 miles of hiking trails, about half that in roads, and 1,600 miles of streams. Probably the most heavily traveled area includes Yosemite Valley, which offers magnificent views of mountains and the valley. Another great place is at the Glacier Point & Badger Pass. This National Park is a must-see vacation spot for anyone passing through California. Winter activities are available - such as skiing.

Not far from Yosemite, are the highest and lowest spots in the lower 48 states. The highest - Mt. Whitney (just under 15,000 feet) is in the Sequoia National Park. About 100 miles east (as the crow flies) of there is Death Valley, which is 282 feet below sea level, and usually too hot in summer to travel. You can also find Crystal Caves in the Sequoia National Park, too.

Right at the eastern elbow of the state, on the border with Nevada, is beautiful Lake Tahoe. This hotspot is terrific if you are looking for an outdoor place to go hiking, boating, fishing, and much more. Couples looking to get married often visit it, too, and there are plenty of resorts and hotels available. In the winter months, it is probably the ski hotspot of the nation, with more ski resorts than just about anywhere. Over 125 inches of snow falls in Lake Tahoe area, giving it plenty of snow for all winter sport enthusiasts. Be sure to take one of the cruises that sails daily on the lake in the warmer months.

Not far from Lake Tahoe, over in Grass Valley, you will find the Empire Mine State Historic Park. This historic gold mine which operated for more than 100 years, is the site of the largest, richest, deepest and longest operating gold mine in California. Tours are available in a small part of the mine - since many of the tunnels are now flooded. Buildings and the mineshaft entrance are well preserved in the National Park. You will also find 12 miles of trails at the park for horseback riding, biking, and hiking.

California also offers much in the way of theme parks. These are mostly in the southern part of the state, and include parks such as Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, California Adventure, and Knott's Berry Farm - most near Los Angeles. Near San Diego you have parks like Sea World, the Wild Animal Park, and the famous San Diego Zoo.

When it comes to visiting some of the cities of California, you will want to go to San Francisco. Here you can see the famous Golden Gate Bridge, which, at the time it was built was the largest suspension bridge in the world and it kept that title for almost 30 years. You can also take a tour from San Francisco to nearby Alcatraz - an island prison for many years. Take advantage and see much of San Francisco from the top of a double-decker bus that has had the top removed - giving you great viewing of the city.

Los Angeles is definitely another place to visit. Here you can find many exciting places to see around the city - including Hollywood. In Hollywood, you can drive down the famous Hollywood Boulevard - where you will find the Walk of Fame and Mann's Theater, as well as Rodeo Drive, which has many exclusive shops. The Queen Mary is also parked in Los Angeles - in Long Beach. Other things to see would have to include the J. Paul Getty Art Museum. The partial art collection of the billionaire is now exhibited in four buildings - and some say the architecture is just as unique as the art it contains. Another good place to go is to see Old Town in Pasedena. Here you will find many quaint little shops and restaurants - a great nightspot, too. One more great vacation place to go - that is quiet and different - the island off of the coast - Catalina. Here is a laid back sort of place where you can really get away from it all. Most of the vehicles here are golf carts, and life is lived slowly. It remains quiet - almost as if Los Angeles had not found out about it yet.

On the beautiful pacific coastline of California are many beautiful beaches - lined with palm trees. These beaches stretch from Mexico up most of the coastline, but becomes more rocky and cliff-like in the northern part of the state. In the south, swimming is good - but possibly even better for surfers - at least some of the time. In the north, where the water is cooler and not so comfortable for swimming, you can watch the whales in season, and see seals and sea otters. Hiking along the northern shoreline is also excellent, too.

Alabama

t wouldn’t be fair to you if we talked only about beaches, sun, sand and Walt Disney. If these are the reasons you’re visiting, you won’t be disappointed. Why do you think it’s called the Sunshine State and attracts 40 million visitors a year?

Florida’s got sunshine plus much more: culture, history and landscape.

The Big Picture

Florida can be enjoyed from seven different perspectives:

* Miami
* Gold and Treasure Coasts
* Orlando and the Space Coast
* Northeast
* Panhandle
* Gulf Coast
* Everglades and the Keys

Florida used to be the 20th most populous state in the 1950s; today, however, it ranks fourth. The largest segment of the population are the retirees who easily adapt to Florida’s great climate, leisure mind set and low taxes. Don’t be misled though in thinking that Florida sports an “old face wrinkled by too much sun.” The state has attracted waves of younger people and have turned Miami into a swinging and trendy resort. Latin Americans have been coming to Florida since the late 1950s. The result? Jubilant festivals, salsa music and great cuisine!

Miami

Miami has two million people who occupy the city’s 2,000 square miles. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to imitate the local commuters, the public transportation system has buses, the Metrorail and the elevated Metromover located downtown. You also get a Water Taxi service, although its service is limited.

If you hear someone in Miami say “SoBe”, he’s referring to South Beach where you just might spot your favorite model or movie star. South Beach stretches from 6th Street all the way to 23rd Street. It is a busy place where you can rub knees with body builders, drag queens and beachcombers. If you want to sample and gawk at Art Deco buildings, this is the place for you.

Other places to see in Miami are the Holocaust Memorial (1933 45th Meridian Avenue), Bass Museum of Art (2121 Park Avenue), Metro-Dade Cultural Centre (101 West Fagler Street), Little Havana (home of Cuban immigrants who contribute to the perpetual gaiety and vibrance of the area), the Venetian Pool (De Soto Boulevard) and Coconut Grove Village (get off Coconut Grove from the Metrorail).

Gold and Treasure Coast

An incredible number of yachts – that’s what Fort Lauderdale is about. And what complements these yachts are of course the stately mansions that line the prime neighborhoods. Ride along Las Olas Boulevard – Fort Lauderdale’s busiest – and enjoy the eateries and boutiques.

Boca Raton is a wealthy city. Admire the architectural finish of the Cloister Inn, now part of the Boca Raton Resort and Club. Want to try some expensive shopping? Spend an afternoon in Mizner Park, named after Addison Mizner, an architect who had big dreams for Boca Raton.

Another rich winter resort is Palm Beach, stomping grounds of the rich and famous.

Orlando and the Space Coast

What you see is what you get! And what you do see is genuine amusement right here in Florida’s Orlando and Space Coast.

Start with the Kennedy Space Center (please call ahead to see if it’s open because it has to close occasionally for operations upgrades – 321-867-4636). It sits on Merritt Island and is known for the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969. It houses the Galaxy Center which has two IMAX screens.

Then you have the Walt Disney World Resort – the largest entertainment site in the world. Visit the theme parks – Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom. Note that Walt Disney receives millions of visitors; busiest times are:

* Christmas and Easter
* June to August
* last week of February

You may want more of that Hollywood feeling after your Disney-MGM visit so head for Universal Studios Orlando. It has two theme parks and multiple choices to feed a hungry soul. Teens will love Hard Rock Café and Monster’s Café, while mom and dad would enjoy seafood at Lombard’s Seafood Grill.

Check out Kissimmee on the Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. It means “Heaven’s Place” and it used to be a grazing place for cows. Not anymore. Instead you’ll get exciting rodeo shows. The state’s oldest rodeo is held at the Silver Spur Arena every February and July.

Northeast

If you’re still not “beached-out”, drive over to Daytona Beach – a favorite destination of hundreds of thousands of American students during spring break. Cars are allowed on the beach, by the way.

Our sister, a resident of Florida, recommends a visit to St. Augustine – a stretch of more beaches, marinas and golf courses. It has its own interesting history which you can swallow and savor on foot, or hop into a horsedrawn carriage. Ask to see the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse, a structure built from cypress and red cedar wood.

If you’ve ever wondered what a sand pine forest is like, go to the Ocala National Forest where there are campgrounds and swimming activities. Deer and otter abound, and certainly a great place for bird-watching enthusiasts.

Panhandle

While in Tallahassee, visit the Old Capitol Building and the Museum of Florida History. While in Pensacola, visit the Historica Pensacola Village and the TT Wentworth Florida State Museum. This museum keeps old Coca-Cola bottles and other oddities from pre-Columbian times.

If you get as a far as Apalachicola, visit their National Forest and the John Gorrie State Museum.

Gulf Coast

Don’t skip Tampa. It is one of Florida’s fastest growing cities and has the ideal harbor. Many Spanish citizens were attracted to Tampa who began arriving as early as the 1500s. St. Petersburg is another favorite destination and people who are fans of Salvador Dali come to St. Pete specifically for the Salvador Dali Museum.

Check out the Pier with its numerous shops and restaurants. Remember the Ringling Brothers and their Circus? If you have time, drive to Sarasota, a rich cultural center with a lively waterfront. Drop by the Ringling Museum Complex which echoes a lot of Italian architecture. The circus owner, John Ringling, invested his $200 million fortune in Sarasota.

Everglades and the Keys

Don’t know if you like panthers, but if you’re curious, you just may see one in the Big Cypress Swamp – it is a popular lodging area for hundreds of plant and animal species. It also protects the endangered Florida panther. Travel writers say the one third of the swamp is covered by cypress trees gracefully standing along long, narrow forests. Its largest protected enclave is the Big Cypress National Preserve. From this point, take a break and enjoy the view.

A place that has stirred the passions of some travelers is the Everglades National Park – an idyllic setting for wildlife and fauna, not to mention 400 bird species.

And who hasn’t heard of the Keys? The Keys constitute a chain of fossilized coral islands that run southwest of the tip of the Florida peninsula. Key Largo is the largest island in the upper section of the Keys. Visit – better yet - go snorkeling in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park – where the underwater is sheer wonder. Big game fishing fans can opt for Islamorada which has seven islands to offer for the best game fishing in the state.

In Key West, watch out for Bahama Village – where you get the best of the Caribbean beat. Visit the home of Ernest Hemingway where he lived for nine years. It’s where he wrote To Have and Have Not.

New York City

Any recounting of the attractions to be found in the State of New York is bound to leave something out. How can you give a capsule description that does justice to a state that encompasses the wild beaches on the far tip of Long Island, includes the whirlwind of activity and culture that is New York City, revels in the tranquility of the Catskills, encompasses the natural wonders of the Adirondacks and Finger Lakes region, and ends with the roar of Niagara Falls? There’s just too much state to take in all at once.

As it’s one of the most popular destinations in the world, it seems fitting to start with New York City. At 8.2 million residents, it’s the largest city in the US, and its diversity and cultural importance make it both a bellwether and a driving force in defining the US character as a whole.

The New York City most people know from television and movies is, essentially, the borough of Manhattan – the dense, skyscraper-shaded, narrow streets and teeming foot and vehicle traffic most closely associated with NYC are a Manhattan trademark. While the other four boroughs – the Bronx, Staten Island, Queens, and Brooklyn – have their own flavors, it’s Manhattan’s landmarks that most visitors come to see.

They say that New York is the quintessential walker’s city, and that’s really the way to go if you’re visiting. While a walk from one end of Manhattan to the other is doable (if you’re in great shape and have good shoes and a few days to spend), you may want to break it up into sections for your own comfort.

Start in Lower Manhattan, down by Battery Park. Visit Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty to get a sense of history. From there, it’s a short cruise up Broadway toward the Financial District, where you can see Wall Street and make a somber pilgrimage to the site of the World Trade Center and the 9-11 attacks. Go farther north through Tribeca (the “Triangle Below Canal Street”) and visit the art galleries and boutiques that make the area famous. Take side trips off into the worlds of Greenwich Village and Soho (“South of Houston”) for a taste of the counterculture life that so many artists have come to New York for, and don’t forget to stop at one of the many, many ethnic restaurants that showcase the city’s diverse population.

Grab a cab at some point and head up to Midtown, where the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building welcome you to the bustling heart of New York. Ride up to the observation decks on these icons and see the city spread before you. Go deeper into Midtown and take side trips to Central Park, Fifth Avenue, and the Metropolitan Museum; visit Times Square (once a seedy wonder, now a family friendly destination) for the staggering animated billboards and the many restaurants and theaters.

Uptown, you can see Harlem and its rich history, and visit the areas around Columbia and Fordham Universities – only two of the many fine schools to be found in the city.

Trips to the outer boroughs are also in order – in the Bronx you can see the Grand Concourse, take in a Yankees game, and stop into a Dominican restaurant for an inexpensive meal. Brooklyn, much maligned by Manhattanites for years but now having undergone a transformation into the “cool” place to be, has neighborhoods and art galleries that offer the sophistication of Manhattan with fewer pretenses. Queens and Staten Island, residential communities for the most part, still offer pockets of fine dining and plenty to see.

The city’s a destination in itself, and probably more than you can do in one trip. It’s said that it takes a lifetime to truly know the city. But there’s so much more to the state than just the city.

The beaches of eastern Long Island, out by the Hamptons, are well known as a playground for the ultra-rich. Here are mansions and estates on the water that rival anything you might find in Newport RI. The dunes of the farthest eastern section, Montauk, are relatively unspoiled and house the fourth oldest working lighthouse in the US, commissioned by President Washington in 1792 – but did you know that you’ll also find the oldest working cattle ranch in the country there? Deep Hollow Ranch has been in continuous operation since the 1800s and trail rides and a Texas-style barbecue are standard attractions.

Go north from the city and in short order you’ll find yourselves in the Catskills, long a vacation resort for the city dweller looking for peace and quiet. The hotels whose dinner entertainment provided the launching pad for an entire generation of comics and entertainers are still there, but the dairy farms that long provided the staples of the local economies are abandoned for the most part, leaving in their wake a landscape of open meadows and tall hills that teem with deer (watch out driving at night, as entire herds of 50-60 deer are not uncommonly found in the roads).

Farther north, above the Hudson River Valley, you’ll find the Adirondacks. These mountains offer kayaking, white water rafting, hiking, and rock climbing. Out west, south of the historic cities of Syracuse, Ithaca, and Rochester, you’ll find the Finger Lakes region. Glaciers in the last Ice Age carved long, narrow gouges into the land, leaving behind perfect lakes that serve as yet another natural destination for those looking for an outdoor getaway.

In the west of the state you’ll also find Buffalo, a city with a thriving art scene and close proximity to the natural wonder of Niagara Falls, a legendary destination for honeymooners (and barrel enthusiasts – visit the museum there for a look at the elaborate and sometimes poignant equipment people have used to try and make it over the Falls intact).

There’s so much to see in New York State that it’s hard to think of it as one destination. It’s easy to fly into almost any of the major cities from almost anywhere, so it’s easy enough to make New York State and its many regions a destination for more than one trip.

* New York City
* Hudson River Valley
* Adirondacks
* Finger Lakes
* Lake Placid
* Brooklyn Museum
* Bronx International Wildlife Conservation Park (Zoo)
* Saratoga Springs
* The Catskills
* Thousand Islands Seaway
* Long Island
* And More...

Visiting Alabama

labama is often considered to be the "heart of Dixie." At one time, Alabama was the capitol of the Confederate states - in Montgomery. Its fabled southern plantations, large fields, and very dignified gentlemen and their ladies has brought a certain southern charm to this part of the United States - which certainly still can be experienced today.

Alabama became a state in 1819, and has long history. Although economically hurting because of the Civil War until after World War II, Alabama has since become much stronger and now has modern cities and industry. This long history has given Alabama a lot of things to see and do.

Much history from the Civil War is every where evident, and there are a number of battlefields and memorials that remain in honor of those fallen in battle. A total of 194 land battles took place in this State.

Birmingham became a city in 1871 and quickly becomes the iron capitol of the South. Although operating on a smaller scale today, the steel plants in and around Birmingham, such as at Bessemer are still making some of the nation's steel.

One of the most popular places in northern Alabama, in Huntsville, is the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Here you will find one of the best rocket museums in the world. There are a number of life-size rockets - including the 363-foot Saturn V rocket that launched the Apollo spacecraft. An IMAX theater presents historical movies of major space history and events, enabling you to live through those events as though you were there. Space Camp is another exciting program for different age groups and some of them go on for a week to provide exciting space age learning and adventures.

On the southern end of the state are the beautiful beaches of Alabama - Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. If you are looking to enjoy some excellent white sand beaches and water fun, Alabama has it. The warm waters of the Gulf provide you with the perfect opportunity to get away. You can also find charter-fishing boats on Dauphin Island, or get a dolphin cruise on a large 64-foot boat. See the power boat races that are scheduled to race just off of Orange Beach in mid August of each year. If you like to look at even larger ships - visit the battleship USS Alabama - in Mobile. Waterville USA, is another great place for water fun when you are in Gulf Shores.

Civil Rights certainly has some of its history laid down in Alabama and many historic places to see. Probably America's largest and best Civil Rights museum is the Birmingham's Civil Rights Institute. You can find many exhibits, archives, meeting rooms and much more in this 58,000 square foot museum. This building is right across the street from where the four girls lost their lives in an explosion caused by a bomb in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. Another place to see is Montgomery's Civil Rights Memorial Center memorializing the deaths of many blacks between 1955 and 1968 - when Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered.

If you are more interested in outdoor adventure, Alabama has plenty of hiking trails and national forests. One of the most popular spots is the Little River Canyon that lies near Georgia in northeast Alabama. This national park is sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the East and offers excellent whitewater kayaking opportunities. Here the canyon river drops a good distance offering even class V whitewater experiences in some places - one place has even been named Suicide. Not far from here is Russell Cave, where native peoples lived centuries ago. There is a museum and hiking trails there, too. Not far away is also the Chickamauga Chattanooga Battlefield, and a number of other battlefields, too, with many monuments testifying to the battalions and groups that were there. In the center of the State is the Oak Mountain State Park, which claims to be the best place to take your mountain bikes and get some exercise. With over 9,400 acres, you will find 18 miles of bike trails. Don't forget about the horse trails - 20 miles of these and many other outdoor activities such as golf, camping, and cabins - along with swimming and hiking.

Car racing is another thing that is very popular in Alabama, and most everyone has heard of the Talledega Superspeedway. Races take place at many different times during the year and you can make it an unforgettable family activity. In the same city is the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, the Talledega National Forest and the Jemison-Carnegie Heritage Hall, which has a large collection of historical photographs and many art exhibits by nationally known and local artists.

Alabama has one of the greatest courses of golf of all time. Not long ago, Alabama built a string of golf courses called the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. There are ten different spots for golf designed by the master golf architect, and many of them are listed in the top 100 golf courses in the world. You can find just about any kind of course that you want - ranging from easy to the much more challenging. Better yet, you can golf the whole string of them if you want – for a real challenge – all 432 holes.

For scenic visits, you need to check out Mt. Cheaha. Although not very high when compared to mountains in other states, it does stand at 2, 407 feet. On top of this mountain is a Civilian Conservation Corps tower, which has a glass-enclosed observation deck that lets you get a good view of scenic Alabama. Close at hand, are also a number of chalets that are glass-enclosed and make an ideal honeymoon spot near the top of Mt. Cheaha. A glass-enclosed restaurant is also nearby, providing you with wonderful scenery while you dine.

A number of other special events are very popular in Alabama. The annual Hot Air Balloon Classic is held every Memorial Day in Decatur. This well-attended Classic has many activities which includes everything from fireworks, to a classic car show, an antique tractor show, live stage entertainment, special children’s area and sports, to an international food court. This same city holds the south’s largest fireworks show every 4th of July, too. This is a large two-day festival that has many different music groups, demonstrations and sports activities for all ages, and the Audie Murphy Patriotism Award is given each year to an outstanding patriot. The Miss Point Mallard Pageant is held there as well, which is a preliminary pageant for the Miss America Pageant.
