Iceland: This Land Of Fire And Ice Is Spectacular From End To End...

After returning from my trip to Iceland, and talking to people about it, the first thing I am usually asked is “I've heard nothing but great things, and I have always wanted to go. Should I?” My response is always, "I would recommend this country to anyone and everyone. It was the most naturally-beautiful location I have ever been to." The best way to describe it is “other-worldly." From the landscapes that change every 30 minutes as you are driving, to the gorgeous, smaller towns, to the black sand beaches, glaciers, ice caves, volcanoes, lava tubes, spectacular waterfalls, and majestic mountains, you know you are somewhere pretty special. Pair it with the fact that the people of Iceland are the most authentically wholesome people I have been around, and you have what is perfection.

NYC's Theatre at Madison Square Garden: Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer...

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the beloved cartoon that decades and decades of families watch together to bring in every new holiday season. We know the characters, the songs, and all of the little jokes. We can practically recite it yet it still seems fresh every time we watch it. Imagine watching it but live, in front of your eyes, with every detail of the movie in full-living color. This show was exactly what I wanted it to be. A real-life version of the beloved cartoon.

Best Local Halloween Attractions: Last Weekend This Year...

Field of Terror... (fieldofterror.com)


Fill up your October weekends with haunted trails, haunted houses, wagon rides, and cornfields. This attraction is amazing. There are plenty of weekends to fill up in October, and there's not a more appropriate way to spend them. At Field of Terror, there are excellent attractions: a 6-acre walk through a haunted corn field, the Field of Terror Killer Kornfield; the Unknown Haunted Barn; the Zombie Attack Haunted Hayride; and Dementia 3D. All are great and here are more details:



The Zombie Attack Haunted Hayride...

This is a haunted hayride into the dark unknown. Being with a large group is so enjoyable. The ride is very long with lots of scary, surprising moments. Some are obvious... others aren't. The sets are nice and there's a cool "vortex tunnel," towards the end, a spinning tunnel. 



Aruba: A Little Slice of Island Heaven...

If you want an almost 100% guarantee of sunshine (and who doesn't), Aruba is the place for you. This small, tropical island will envelop you in brilliant sunshine and caressing heat all year round. It does rain, but not very often or for very long. Even with its average 82-degree temperature, the winds are predictable and constant, blowing through as if they were sent just to keep you cool and comfortable. In the summer months, the water is so calm that you can float on your raft and barely move around. This also makes it perfect for scuba diving and snorkeling, since there is very little rain to affect the visibility. In the winter months, when the winds are strongest, sailing and windsurfing are perfect water sports to partake in. Most of the rain comes October-December but even then you will still get plenty of sun.

There as so many things to do in Aruba, or you can just do nothing at all. We do know that once you visit Aruba you will desire to come there for yearly vacations with your family because it will feel like a second home to you.

Disney, Universal, Sarasota, and Siesta Key: One Week of Fun in Florida...

Florida is always fun, almost no matter where and when you go. Hundreds of books have been written about visiting Disney World, Universal parks, and Florida beaches. Although there is no way that we could give you detailed information on everything there is to do and see, we wanted to provide you with this short, but sweet, version to give you a head start on your vacation planning. This was a great agenda, starting off with visiting the parks and keeping busy day and night, and ending off at a gorgeous beach, relaxing and enjoying the spectacular scenery.

Las Vegas: It's Not Just For Adults...

LAS VEGAS is a city full of excitement and loaded with so many places to see and experience. However, when you only have a few days to visit, it gets complicated as you try and decide on what to do with limited time. It's difficult choosing from hundreds of hotels, restaurants, and attractions, but we've gathered up a pretty good first-timer's list and hope you accept a few of our selections. As always, we couldn't feature everything we wanted to in complete detail, but this will give you a head start.

Best Local Skiing and Snowboarding in New Jersey: Mountain Creek

Mountain Creek in Vernon Valley, New Jersey, is the place to go if you want a fantastic family winter getaway in the NJ/NY/PA area. It's just a short drive away, but you'll feel like you're a million miles away. It's the perfect mini-vacation!

  

I was expecting Mountain Creek, and its surrounding hotels, to be great, from what I had heard. However, I wasn't expecting to be blown away. The quality of their properties, the variety of activities, the food at their restaurants, and the friendliness of their staff, no matter where I went, was above and beyond anything I ever expected. 

Skiing, snowboarding, and tubing are just one part of the fun. Other outdoor adventures, and an abundance of indoor activities, will make sure you're never short of things to do. The thing is, you will probably not have enough time to do it all, but that's what future trips are for!

Los Angeles: A Few Wonderful Days in the City of Angels...

Los Angeles is a sprawling city that is as famous for its unique landscapes and entertainment as it is for its residents. As the center of the nation's film and television industry, it's exciting at every nook and cranny. We love Los Angeles and each of its unique neighborhoods and towns. You can live in Los Angeles for years and still not get to see everything it has to offer.
