The summer holidays are almost upon us, thank goodness, and the States as always is a great place to holiday in. It offers endless enticing cities, vast country-sides with lakes, mountains and wildlife, and of course its sun-soaked beaches. Whenever I go to the States I always feel that a two stop trip is always much more rewarding than the one, and if you have the time you can make it work within budget.

You can’t beat Cancun as a holiday Destination – Cancun, in Mexico, is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination in recent years. People who are tiring of their annual sun holiday to Europe and are looking for a little bit more adventure have got to try Cancun.

Washington DC Holidays – Having gone to watch ‘12 years a Slave’ last weekend it reminded me that although the States is a relatively new country it is steeped in history, some as unnerving as Europe’s but at the same time incredibly interesting.

A day trip from Boston to Salem – Hi everyone Kathleen here again. As I had mentioned in my Boston post, we took a day trip to Salem from Boston on Halloween! I have always wanted to go to Salem since I was a little girl and it was a town on my bucket list since I first seen Disney’s Hocus Pocus! Salem is only a short 30 minute ride from Boston and you can go by either train or by the Salem Ferry.

Boston a great destination for a city break – Hi everyone! Kathleen here! If you haven’t visited Boston yet you must add it to your bucket list! We visited Boston for four nights back in October and absolutely loved the city! It was Fall when we were there and the colours really do live up to the hype.

Hi! Sarune here I just came back from Cancun Mexico and I would love to share my holiday experience with you all. It was my first time going to Mexico and I had an absolutely wonderful time. I spent 7 days in Cancun Mexico, but I do recommend going for at least two weeks as there is so much to see and do there: white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, friendly people and amazing resorts, can you ask for more?

Hundreds of Hotels to Choose From in New York – New York City has hundreds of hotels to choose from when you are planning your trip be it business, pleasure or otherwise! You can go top of the range and find yourself in one of the ultimate luxury hotels in the city or feel that all you want is somewhere clean and safe to lay your head and go budget end.

Hi everyone! Kathleen here! I’m just back from an amazing weekend in the lovely city of Montreal! It was our first time visiting and we just loved it. We took the train from Toronto so that we could see a bit of the Canadian countryside. The journey was four hours long and we had a blast! The seats were super comfy and there was lots of leg room for those taller folk among us!

It’s Not All on the Hill in Washington DC – When you think of Washington DC you think of the White House or Capitol Hill, or the Lincoln Memorial, or the Bush/Clinton legacies, or the Obama administration or the vast number of museums which represent the United States of America’ s history. Rarely do we think of hitting this interesting spot to tie in a bit of shopping too.

Autumn Break in the Windy City – Chicago, most commonly referred to as the ‘the windy city’, is the third biggest city in the USA following NYC and LA. It has a plentitude of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, shopping and sporting events to capture everyone’s attention. Sometimes we forget how much this fine place has to offer, perhaps overshadowed by the offerings and/or accessibility of its east coast sister cities, Boston and NYC.

When you think of Las Vegas most of us thing of the tables, hotels and winning! Sometimes we forget about everything else this wild and wonderful place has to offer. If you are going to Vegas you have to check out what else is going on.

Shopping in NYC has got to be one of my most satisfying and enjoyable retail experiences yet. The range of shops are endless, the bargains superb and the service excellent. It is a good idea to be a little organised before you hit Manhattan to ensure you get the best out of your shopping stay. Below is my list of 10 top places to go shopping for the ultimate experience.

Hi All, this is Jennifer (Travel Agent at Tour America). I just came back from the holiday of my lifetime and I can truly say that Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana are one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. As pictures are worth thousands of words, please take a look at them below.

In Arizona, each region has something to offer. The remote Arizona’s Strip in the far north holds canyons, plateaus and volcanoes in wilderness areas that many travellers have yet to discover. Just south of the Strip, the Grand Canyon’s sheer size and beauty make it one of the great natural wonders of the world.
MAY 15, 2013
An exciting mix of rich cultural traditions and spectacular landscapes forms the basis of Arizona’s great appeal to visitors. The names of natural wonders such as Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, and Monument Valley can only hint at grandeur here. Pictures of them are familiar throughout the world, but they really have to be seen to be believed.

Hey everyone, Kathleen here! Last month I visited the always amazing New York City. It was my 6th time in the Big Apple and it was just as exciting as my first. My family flew over from Ireland and we came down from Toronto for a weekend of fun, shopping and doing some of the sites. We flew with United Airlines and the flight was less than an hour.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida is well-known for its stunning beaches, creative events and deep culture. But the closer you look at Fort Lauderdale, the more you discover, from the fantastical to the everyday occurrence but its all here! Like enjoying a day of shopping on Las Olas Boulevard, a gondola ride through the famous canals or a nice walk on historic riverfront.

Toronto East Coast Shopping Heaven – If like me you are in a love affair with shopping then you probably love to head off on exciting city breaks in North America for the odd shopping spree.
