Posted by Noemi as Around The World, Destinations, Nature, Tips, Family, Americas, Resorts
For some families, hitting the slopes during the winter period is the best way of bonding together. There is nothing to compare to the adrenaline rush that one experiences going down the slopes and at night, warm, cozy rooms at the lodges are something to look forward to. For these families, the coming of spring could be a disappointment in this respect.
However, there is still a bit of time to sneak in a last skiing trip before the season ends for the year. Here are a few of the ski resorts that stay open till May.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about kid-friendly vacations? If you are anything like majority of families, you’d probably say something related to Disney.

American Airlines’ Offers: Guatemala City
Posted by Noemi as Around The World, Air Travel, Americas
I know it may seem a bit too early for you to start planning your summer vacation at this point but it does pay to plan way ahead of time.

Nov|30|2007 Posted by Hannah Grace as Destinations, Asia, Americas In my last post I mentioned two great places to spend Christmas, Australia and Egypt. If you do not feel like going to either for whatever reason (like if you live there!) then two equally good alternative places to make sure you stay warm during the holiday season would be Florida and Dubai. Florida - Florida = Fun. We all know how great the sun and sand at Miami beach. Aside from soaking up the sun though and getting wet in the water Florida also has a lot of other fun stuff for the entire family from the famous Orlando Theme Parks to the Seaquarium and the Planetarium. Florida is fun year round but wait till Christmas to visit it because …
Nov|22|2007 Posted by Camica as Destinations, Around The World, Events, Historical, Americas Thanksgiving is one of America’s favorite holidays, and the official start of the holiday season. Thanksgiving is also a long weekend, something which overworked folks in need of rest always look forward to. This Thanksgiving, instead of stressing out about the turkey and the guests, why not revisit the place where it all began? The place where it all began is in the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. This is where the Pilgrims established a colony after arriving in the Mayflower. This is also where “The First Thanksgiving” started, after the first harvest in 1621. Visiting Plymouth is a great way to experience history first hand. You can visit Plimoth Plantation, the living history museum …
