Ideas for great vacations

There are a number of ideas for a great vacation and it would be impossible to name them all here. However, some of the best vacation destinations aren't necessarily well known. Just because a brochure tells you a particular vacation destination is a great place, there's no guarantee that you will enjoy it. Take a look at what frequent travelers are saying and get some ideas for a great vacation.

EUROPE:

Rome: UNESCO has listed Rome as the World Heritage Site. This magnificent ancient city was the core of the Roman Empire and is rich with awe-inspiring historical sites. Ancient ruins, historical museums, and so much history can be found in this fascinating city.

Iceland:

The City of Ice and Fire is what Iceland is appropriately called with arching waterfalls, geysers, and volcanoes. The sites on this amazing island are like none you'll see anyplace else.

London:

The thirty-foot, fully functional clock tower of Big Ben, the Tower of London, the London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, underground transportation to just about anywhere, excellent shopping, diverse dining and entertainment. This is what the city of London is all about.

Paris:

Venice:

The atmosphere of Venice is one of romance with its flowing canals, which is the main mode of transportation in this serene city. For someone who may be looking for a little leisure and perhaps a little romance, Venice is the place to go. Small cafes, art museums and shops of all kinds make Venice a city you simply want to get lost in.

Florence:

The architecture is incredible in Florence with huge churches and ancient sites that are filled with history. Known for its wine, Florence is also a good city for leisure browsing and relaxation. Visit their many art and historical museums.

UNITED STATES:

North Carolina:

The majestic mountains along the Blue Ridge Parkway are a sight that should be seen at least once in a lifetime. The heavily forested region offers an embarrassment of riches for any
