Best Vacation Places

My two favorite places to visit there are the San Diego Zoo and Coronado Beach. The zoo has every type of animal you can think of and a beautiful aquarium. The beach has pure clear water and warm sand.
This is one of the cleanest family beaches I have ever been to. There is even a hotel you can stay at that is right on the beach. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it for the view and sounds of the ocean.
They also have many little shops that you have to check out for souvenirs. Overall this is one of the best places to visit for a relaxing fun time for the whole family.
When I think of this lovely town I think of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford because they each had winter homes built there overlooking the water. Ford’s home is called "The Mangoes" and Edison’s is named "Seminole Lodge".
Both homes are available for tours and the Edison place includes his laboratory exactly as he used it. Old and young inventors will find this a treasure.
Just these two are worth the trip but there’s more. Baseball fans would find it wise to time their vacation to early spring to catch the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox in spring training.
As one would expect, you’ll find the area full of excellent resort hotels, restaurants, boating and my favorite, swimming. Remember, this is the Gulf side of Florida where the water temperature is perfect.
This barrier island is a narrow strip of land, about 25 miles long, running North & South and connected to the mainland by a causeway.
For a great vacation of beautiful swimming in the Gulf waters with plenty of sun and relaxation you couldn’t do better. I enjoyed the beach volleyball, the chartered fishing and sail boating and the long walks along the white sandy shore of the island.
I happen to like dinner cruises so I participated in this adventure during every business trip to Clearwater. (Gosh, I hope the dinner cruise is still operating)
Now don’t get me wrong the heart of the beach is a busy, eventful spot with many great hotels, restaurants and interesting shops but the hotel on the beach and the walks where my cup of tea.
Oh yes, the water temperature is just perfect for hanging around in the water all day and perfect for a quick refreshing dip. I just remembered the time I rented a small sailboat and had a great time racing the dolphins out in the Gulf.
As with most central Florida cities there is a Major League Baseball Team that uses Clearwater for their spring training. I believe it’s the Philadelphia Phillies.
I’ve heard that Clearwater has several annual events, a Festival in May, Fireworks on July 4th, a Jazz Holiday in October and a Hispanic Heritage Festival in October. Also, Clearwater hosts the Iron-man World Championship in November. So anyone looking for beach vacations, Clearwater is a good vacation ideas.
Caye Caulker is an island about 45 minutes from Belize City by boat. There is a Barrier Reef less than one mile away from the island.
Snorkeling there is awesome because inside the reef, the water is very shallow and the reef is right under your feet.
The colors are so beautiful and bright, it is also some of the clearest waters I have ever seen. It's like peering into a giant fishbowl!
The Belize Barrier Reef is definitely Belize's top tourist destination. I would recommend snorkeling to anyone because it's easy to do, if you can float you can go snorkeling! Just remember to put on plenty of sunblock because the Caribbean sun is very hot.
One of the nicest aspects of going to the Ozarks is the drive. The roads are curvy and windy and go up and down and around. It is absolutely so much fun to drive through the trees on these well-paved roads.
The rivers in the Ozarks are the most beautiful I've seen anywhere and water activities are popular. You can cross over a stream and stop and park.
Next thing you know you'll be jumping off the rarely-traveled bridge into the incredible waters below. If you have a canoe or small boat, you can take it downstream too. Fishing is a good way to spend an afternoon.
Walking around the town is another fun thing to do. Many of the Ozarks towns in Missouri are built on a square, so you can walk around the square and check out the shops or sit and enjoy the sun in the park that is set in the center.
Some towns like Eureka Springs, Arkansas have so many colorful shops and eye-catching architecture that a day of sightseeing is very pleasurable.
Shopping will come easy as there are so many different items to buy. Don't forget to eat! I've had some of the best food ever in the Ozarks and there's always such a wonderful choice of cuisine.
Many times, you can sit outdoors on the patio or the raised boardwalk and take in the day and the sights all around. The hotels are elegant or geared towards the outdoorsman, but either way, they always have beautiful dining rooms.
