Touring Florida's Vintage Attractions - Eight Great Destinations

Sunday, October 31, 2010 4:41 AM Posted by Andy Subandono 0 comments

By Ruth Seebeck

Florida has been a destination of choice for centuries. Ponce de Leon came, looking for the Fountain of Youth, in 1513. Since then, six cultures left their mark on the peninsula. Native Indians fought Spanish, French and English explorers. American settlers brought agriculture, industry and slavery. After the Civil War, rail barons like Henry Flagler promoted Florida's climate. By the 1900's Florida was THE winter destination for many wealthy Americans.

As Florida developed, so did tourist attractions. Today, those same places provide a look at Florida's yesteryear. Interestingly, every Florida destination is no more than eighty miles from the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico.

St. Augustine - Spain claimed the nation's "Oldest City" 42 years before England landed at Jamestown. It had a rocky history until Flagler picked St. A as his first tourist project. His famed hotels are now Lightner Museum and Flagler College. St. Augustine is an eclectic mix of historic, vintage and modern attractions to delight any traveler. Tour Castilla de San Marcos, the historic district and the famous striped lighthouse. Immerse yourself in the culture of St. Augustine. Book rooms at an historic inn, bed & breakfast or classic motel.

Sarasota - Ringling Bros. Circus picked Sarasota for its winter quarters. The Ringling complex includes a world-class art museum and Ca d'Zan (House of John) mansion. Its Circus museum features a popular miniature circus. Jungle Gardens' vintage zoological park opened in 1940. Other attractions include two classic car museums, Marie Selby Botanic Gardens, and Myakka River State Park. Sarasota is a "gem of the Gulf coast" with pristine white sand beaches along the mainland and nearby barrier islands.

Winter Haven - Winter Haven is an inland paradise, surrounded by more than 30 lakes. No wonder it is the water-skiing capital of the world. It is also the home of Cypress Gardens, Florida's first theme park (1936). CG is famous for spectacular water-skiing shows and beautiful gardens. (Cypress Gardens is closed for renovation. It will reopen in March 2009.) Other popular sites include Bok Sanctuary with its famous carillon, and Fantasy of Flight. Midway between Orlando and Tampa, Winter Haven lives up to its name. It's away from the crowds but convenient to many major attractions.

St. Petersburg - "The Sunshine City" boasts 360 days of sunshine per year. Tour Sunken Gardens, Florida's oldest tourist attraction and a historic landmark. More than 50,000 plants, representing 500 species, thrive here. The Pier is a popular spot. Visit the aquarium and the replica of the HMS Bounty. MGM built the ship for the 1962 movie. It was also used in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Nearby John's Pass Village is a former pirate retreat and fishing village. It is now a tourist stop with quaint shopping & dining. St. Pete also boasts a number of excellent museums. The beaches here are some of the best in the US.

Ft. Myers - Another classic Gulf coast resort is Ft. Myers/Ft. Myers Beach. The area, plus nearby Sanibel and Captiva Islands, is known for some of the best shelling in the world. The slope into Gulf waters is so gentle, the beaches here are among the safest, as well. Thomas Edison and his friend, Henry Ford picked Ft. Myers for their winter homes. Tour their adjacent estates with a single admission. Visit the Cypress Preserve, Manatee World, Babcock Wilderness Adventures and the shell museum. Drive along McGregor Boulevard, lined with 1800 palm trees. The stately trees give Ft. Myers its nickname, "City of Palms".

Key West - This tip of the keys has been America's "Margueritaville" for decades. Even Ponce de Leon started here before sailing north to St. Augustine. Tour Hemingway's 1920's home and Truman's 1949-era Little White House. Visit Pirate Soul and the Key West Shipwreck Treasures museums to learn about the buccaneering heritage of the island. Nature lovers will enjoy the Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden, and the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory. Several US presidents have vacationed on Key West; so should you. It has all the flavor and laid-back charm of a Caribbean island

Miami/South Beach - Like all of Florida, Miami has a rich history to balance her modern side. South Beach is known worldwide for its Art Deco buildings. Take a walking tour or guided tour. The oldest building in the Western Hemisphere was moved, stone by stone, from Spain to Miami by Randolph Hearst in the 1950's. Jungle Island, (formerly Parrot Jungle c. 1936), is an animal show and zoo sure to please everyone. There's also the Seaquarium, Miami Zoo and several museums. Cruise Biscayne Bay past Millionaire Row. Many of the estates date to Miami's heyday in the early 1900's.

Ocala - This central Florida city is synonymous with Silver Springs, a nature park on the Silver River. The artesian springs pump enough fresh water daily to supply New York City. It is one of the largest in the world. Famed glass-bottom boats take visitors through the park, just like they did in the late 1800's. There are other boat tours, plus a jeep ride. The waters are so clear that several movies have been filmed in the waters of Silver Springs. Divers will enjoy Paradise Springs for cave diving. Nature lovers should visit Juniper Prairie Wilderness in Ocala National Forest.

Of course, all of Florida offers exceptional travel opportunities, whether you want sun, sports, history, or entertainment. Just don't forget these gems when you plan your trip to The Sunshine State.

9 Hidden Treasures For Kids on Washington D.C. Tours


By Tia T Jones

Family travel tours are a great vacation, but make sure you include something special for the kids.

When you're taking your kids on Washington D.C. tours, you have to remember that sometimes they're just not into the same things we are. Respectful contemplation at a war memorial may mean a lot to us - but kids also need a little fun. There are plenty of things for kids to see and do on Washington D.C. tours.

Here are a few of the lesser known and most exciting kid-friendly sites and activities.

o Deep in the basement of the Department of Commerce Building, just a block from the Washington Monument, is the National Aquarium. This aquarium has everything a kid could want - alligators, sharks, frogs, toads, seahorses and eels. Cool.

o Older kids can play spy at the International Spy Museum. They'll be deployed on a top secret interactive mission and learn the secrets of disguise when former CIA Chiefs of Disguise Tony and Jonna Mendez demonstrate the art of the 'quick change.'

o For boys, who always like bugs, check out the O. Orkin Insect Zoo at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. They'll see about 65 different species of arachnids, centipedes, crustaceans, insects and millipedes and watch a tarantula being fed.

o Discover the Luray Caverns. This amazing wonderland of huge underground structures started forming 4 million centuries ago. And it's still changing.

o Board a pirate ship with the Pirate Adventure Cruise in Annapolis. The kids will be dressed up as pirates, learn to read a map that leads to hidden treasure (which they always find), and go into battle with water cannons.

o Solve a mystery at Gunston Hall's Plantation Sleuth. Tour the home, schoolhouse, kitchen, farmyard and gardens looking for clues - and win an 18th century prize!

o Take a short drive to Virginia's Dinosaurland and walk through the forest dotted with dozens of creatures like King Kong (kids can sit in his hand), huge Mammoths and Triceratops.

o Go on safari at Virginia Safari Park and climb high up the Giraffe Feeding Station so you can feed giraffes on their level. You can also feed elk and bison from your feeding bucket, and drive through Tiger Territory.

o Grab a tool kit at the Building Zone in the National Building Museum and build a 7-foot-tall, soft-block arch in the Great Hall (any budding architects or builders out there?) Or don hard hats and tool belts and drive a 'dozer.

Sound like fun? You bet. And, let's admit it, this kind of travel tour is just as appealing to us as it will be to our kids.

Don't forget to include at least a few of these wonderful highlights in your Washington D.C. tours. You'll not only enjoy them as much as your kids do, you'll probably even feel like a kid again!

Hot Camera Tips For Yellowstone Tours

Monday, October 25, 2010 4:38 AM Posted by Andy Subandono 0 comments

By Tia T Jones

Touring Yellowstone is an exciting adventure - which is why Yellowstone is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Recording your trip with photos helps you relive the pleasure, and share it with your friends and family. But taking the same photos over and over again - tiny faceless moms and dads standing in front of Old Faithful - just doesn't cut it. Here are a few hot camera tips that will help you record your Yellowstone tour in a way that will make you proud.

It pretty much goes without saying that it's best to use a digital camera. They're lightweight and compact, and you don't have to worry about film. It's also easy to download the photos onto your computer, group them into albums, share them with friends, print them, and so on.

But to get the best shots, make sure you do the following:

* Use the optical viewfinder. There are usually two ways to compose a shot on a digital camera: looking at the image screen where you will eventually see the finished product, or looking through the optical viewfinder (the little window near the top of the camera.) The viewfinder shows you the actual physical scene in front of your camera, but the image screen shows you something slightly different. With some cameras, you could wind up with the top of dad's head cut off. On a Yellowstone tour, that could mean cutting off the top of Old Faithful's 120-foot geyser shooting into the air. It's just not the same. So, make sure your digital camera has an optical viewfinder, and use it.

* Get a camera with a high pixel count. Pixels are tiny dots that make up a digital image. The more little dots there are, the higher quality the picture. This is especially important if you want to print or enlarge them. They may look great on your camera, but when you make them bigger, the quality suffers. Get a camera with 4 or 5 megapixels, minimum.

* Make sure your camera has high optical zoom: The zoom feature on a camera allows you to take a photo of something far away and have it seem close-up. Some cameras only have 'digital zoom,' and some have optical and digital. The problem with digital zoom is that it really doesn't do much zooming; it just crops the picture. And in the process, it reduces the pixel count. The beautiful images you saw on the image screen of your Yellowstone tour highlights turn into a blurry mess by the time you make them large enough so someone can really appreciate them. When you're taking snapshots of friends, a 2X or 3X magnification is probably enough, for Mt. Rushmore, the Grand Tetons, Mammoth Hot Springs terraces, or other Yellowstone tour sights, you need 5X or more. If you want to take photos of wildlife and don't want to get so close you'll scare them away, you'd be better off with 7X.

Getting home from your Yellowstone tourand excitedly downloading your photos only to find that they don't really capture the beauty you experienced can be disappointing. Get the right camera, and your travel tours will be something you, your kids, your grandkids and your friends can enjoy forever.

Better Than the Beach - Alaska Travel Tours

Friday, October 22, 2010 4:37 AM Posted by Andy Subandono 0 comments

By Johnathan H. Bakers

Unspoiled wilderness makes for a vacation with an unpredictable air to it. In Alaska, and not at the beach, is where a pristine landscape can make for an awe-inspiring outing. The fauna, glaciers and freshwater fishing all appeal to the inner adventurer and is why Alaska has so many visitors every year. In addition to the sights, Alaska's outdoor sports are challenging and varied. For fun in the sun, go to a tropical region. But for non-stop action and risk-taking adventure, get a reasonable adventure travel package.

Maybe the greatest aspect of Alaska outdoor adventure travel is that there are different intensities with which a traveler can explore the state. If you are more interested in a relaxing time and not so rigorous one then there are less physical tours you can go on. Many would probably recommend that you charter a day sight-seeing tour. This can be done by flying or boating and you can get to see native marine life like caribou, whales, and polar bears. It is even possible to go to a gold mining ghost town or lay eyes on awe-inspiring glaciers after a day's worth of backpack hiking.

Alaska outdoor adventure travel even provides for a twist on conventional rock climbing. Ice climbing on glaciers or hiking to snow-capped mountains in Denali National Park are not just seasonal activities in Alaska. Camping, kayaking and rafting are just as prevalent. Snowmobiles or ATVs are great ways to break away from the stationary and see as much of Alaska at one time as possible.

Most travelers opt to take a cruise to Alaska on their first time discovering the near barren and full-of-life locations within the region. A cruise allows for those who only want to look do so, while those who want to get nearer to Alaska's harsh environment can do so as well. One traveler might rather go fishing for salmon while another will take advantage of the guided excursion through an abandoned gold mining town instead.

Do what you want as opposed to going along with the group is the appeal of Alaska adventure travel. Since so many people will probably be traveling at once on a tour, it is important to manage you own schedule as everyone might have distinct tastes as far as what they would like to do. We found this helpful on our visit from La manga. You may want to only do a little photo taking or you may want to participate in some sporting activities. It may even be that you want to do both. But you have to plan you own schedule in order to get the most satisfying results.

If you hail from a normally warm climate, a trip to Alaska could be a shock to your system, especially if you have never been on an adventure travel tour before. Therefore, perhaps it is best to take a cruise that leaves from a port in your town or you nearest dock. The alternative is that you will have to fly to Alaska and do pay for car rental and a place to stay while you visit. With a cruise, all of that is covered by the cost.

Outdoor adventure travel plans to go t Alaska can be organized by a traveler by himself or she/he can enlist the assistance of a travel agent. They will have access to more resources and more inside industry information than an one traveler. Plus, when the unexpected happens a travel agent can more sufficiently manage issues such as a late flight or unrecorded reservations at your place of lodging. Do not go it alone if you believe that better deals and service awaits you through the help of a travel agent.

Finding a Teen Tour for Your Kid


Rata PenuhBy Nicole Martins

For many families the summer represents a time to spend time together as well as apart to experience new adventures. Teen tours offer teenagers the opportunity to experience travel and culture with peers in a safe and fun environment. And trips are typically organized by established touring companies, providing your child with a safe, supervised trip to many locations both abroad and domestic.

Companies differ, of course, and the rustic appeal of an adventurous US teen tour whereby rock climbing, kayaking and high ropes are highlights, may not appeal to all teens. If not, you may want to look into a European or South American tour. Most companies mix a little adventure with travel and the level of travel can include 5 star hotel and resorts or the stay at the college dormitory. How long are teen tours? This again will vary; however, 21 to 45 days is typical.

Compare Teen Tours and Companies

There are a number of ways to begin the search for that perfect travel tour for your teen. The most obvious one is by referral. Ask other parents, teens, family members, friend or associates. If you don't know anyone who has done this kind of summer program, then it's time to search online where there are a number of both directories and touring companies. Directories provide a number of referrals and you search often by state and then view the different companies in your area. Most touring companies have websites at this point, so buy getting leads from the directories you can then go directly to their site.

Using Guided Travel


By Peter S. Mason

Would you prefer Guided travel compared to going solo?

It can be really exciting when it comes to going on holiday as you get to leave your every day stresses behind and swap it for a more relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is different regarding how they want their holiday to be, with some people being a lot more adventurous than others.

It could be that you want to be more spontaneous and you have decided to go solo, but for other people a travel tour could be what they need. It may even be a good idea to combine both solo and guided travel in a holiday so that you can explore on your own for part of it and then be shown some great sights for the rest of the holiday.

You can get a guided tour for most holidays that you go on, especially when you visit some of the major cities around the world. By having a guided tour you can find out about a city or town's history and see some of the best sights that are on offer there.

Individual travel is also a good idea if you want to simply explore the place on your own at your own leisurely pace. By doing this you get to find places that you may not have found with a guided tour and you can then spend as long or as little as you like at each place which you discover.

Making the Decision

When it comes to choosing whether you want to have individual travel or a travel tour it will depend upon the person(s) own individuals needs and tastes. If you cannot make your mind up, combine both of them to see which one works best for you. This may help to influence your decision in the future if you decide to do it again.

Another way to help you to make your mind up includes the fact that you could draw up the pros and cons of both going solo and having a guided tour to see what you prefer. It may be that you enjoyed mixing it up and therefore you may decide that this is what you would like to do again.

The decision that you make will really help to shape your holiday and so it is a good idea to have a basic clue of what you want to do on holiday. Before you do go on holiday, try and do some research in order to find out about the attractions available in the place you are visiting and also enquire about the tour guides that are available as well.

Tour Guide Jobs


By Tyson Hale
Rata Penuh
A Tour Guide job, travel tour guide jobs, or trip leader jobs will probably be one of the most incredible jobs you will have. This is by far my favorite way of getting paid to travel the world. Not for the money but for the life long experiences and the growth that I experience every time I finish a trip.

You can either do teen, adults trips or special needs groups. This can go from high class trips where you stay at hotels the whole time and taking care of the group to camping and cooking in the outdoors and having them take care of themselves. These can range from being facilitators for better group dynamics, to teaching a skill (like climbing) to working with a troubled group and keeping them in-line. You can also do the tourist guide job where you get a some people for a few hours show them around a certain place and then send them on their way.

Before you choose a tour guide job make sure you define which style of working with people you like. For instance, a tour guide on some train in the Alaskan mountain range is going to be a ton different then being a tour guide up on the glacier in those ranges. So first define what type of these tour guide jobs you would want.

As for myself, after going through a lot of these different styles of tour guide I have found that I love getting a group a 13 or so teenagers and taking them to some country and doing some in-depth traveling for a month. It's perfect for me, I get paid a lot to travel around the world, I learn about my self and I progress my abilities to work with youth so when I have kids of my own I'll have an idea about how to raise them instead of them being my parenting test subjects.

Once you define the ideal tour guide job it's time to go get it. There are a few important steps to getting that tour guide job every time but for now go ahead and put some time into the type of tour guide job you would like and then we will cover how to get that tour guide later. Good luck.

Guided Travel for the Solo Vacationer

Sunday, October 10, 2010 4:32 AM Posted by Andy Subandono 0 comments

By Johnathan H. Bakers

If you've traveled with a friend or with your family you know the joy of sharing the holiday experience with others. It's not just the camaraderie but you are sometimes persuaded to see and do things you wouldn't normally do. Traveling solo doesn't mean you need to compromise the joy and excitement of a holiday. Don't let traveling by yourself stop you from taking a dream vacation. Here are some tips and ideas to consider if you'll be vacationing alone.

First decide on where you want to go. While quiet, secluded destinations sound ideal you may find yourself getting bored. Try to find places with lots of sights and things to do. If you would like to meet others then consider cities with lots of nightlife options. If you like the beach, choose destinations that have a combination of city and sand. Likewise, if you want to do some hiking, choose a vacation spot that has a real city nearby so you can enjoy the sights and take in the great outdoors.

Guided travel is another option that can be ideal for individual travel. Not only will you be with a group of other tourists but your itinerary will be planned out for you. You would be surprised at how interesting some sights can be; on your own you may miss them by talking yourself into staying at your hotel. There are travel tours that include your hotel, a tour almost everyday, meals and other services that will keep you busy from the time you arrive until you depart. Another option is taking a guided day tour; these allow you more flexibility and you can revisit the sights on your own. Travel tours can be researched and booked online or through a travel agency.

The California coastal cities are a fantastic option for the solo traveler. San Francisco has an abundance of sights, the wine country is nearby, and the beach city of Santa Cruz is within driving distance. Los Angeles is full of Hollywood sights, amusement parks and world renowned beaches. If you prefer the East Coast then consider New York or Washington D.C.; there are plenty of museums, shows and activities to keep the individual traveler occupied.

In any case, I suggest the lone traveler make travel arrangements in advance. The frustration with hassles is doubled when you're traveling by yourself. Also, prepare yourself for some quiet time. Bring some good books and magazines to read. Consider bringing a laptop so you can keep in touch with friends and research activities in your vacation city. Keeping a blog is another way to keep occupied; sharing your travel experiences on a blog is like chatting with a travel buddy about your trip.

Traveling solo doesn't have to be boring or lonely. On the contrary, it can be quite enjoyable and exciting. Do some research, consider tours and make your travel arrangements in advance.

Adventure Travel - an Exciting Thrill?


By Andy McDowell

Do you want to add a little adventure to your
life? Do you want to be engaged in something you
have never done before? The unique information
here will help you to considering a vacation that
will bring memories and expierences that will
last a lifetime.

Believe it, adventure travel is for every kind of
people. Youngsters who want to get excited by
travelling through Alaska with a dog sled or
other risky activities and elder couple who
define a hot air balloon ride as adventurous.

Thus, if you engage in adventure travel, you will
meet individuals from all walks of life--and
ironically, this is a form of adventure in and of
itself.

When considering adventure travel versus regular
travel you will find that adventure travel has
much more to offer than regular travel. During
your adventure travel there is always a tour
operator with much experience and knowledge and
know how to effectively handle the situations
that you are engaging in. Conversely, adventure
travel is frequently jam packed with activities
for you to engage in; especially activities that
match the theme of whatever adventure tour you
have selected. Thus, in terms of guaranteed
activity--guarantee activities during regular
travel is limited to none while adventure travel
aims to fulfill its name: a trip loaded to the
brim with adventure!

First, before you begin making adventure travel
plans, you must consider how much physical
activity you would like to engage in. For
instance, do you want to simply travel the world
and see exotic places which entails a relatively
low physical impact or do you want to hike or
rock climb? An equally important aspect to
learning how to plan for adventure travel is
learning how to comparatively shop around for
great prices on adventure tour plans.Remember
that price does not necessarily equate to quality
and just because you get a discount on an
adventure travel tour doesn't mean that you will
appreciate the tour operator!

In short, there is a form of adventure travel for
everyone--even you! All you have to do is
determine what the words unique and adventure
means to you. Once you have defined what
adventure means to you, you can plan an adventure
trip that you will remember for the rest of your
life! In fact, you will even have stories to tell
your friends and family!
