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.

Whether you're looking for waterfront accommodations, a great meal, lively nightlife, a unique shopping experience or just somewhere to dock your boat, this is the place.

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.
