New York

New York City, at the mouth of the Hudson River, is the largest city in the United States and one of the most important and exciting cities in the world.

Nowhere in the country (and possibly the world) can you find the cultural attractions that the “Big Apple” has to offer.

Among its 100 museums are the Museum of Modern Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim Museum.

Any city nicknamed "the city that never slee ps" has to have an energetic nightlife, and New York more than lives up to that reputation. From SoHo to Broadway to Times Square to Harlem, live music and other entertainment are virtually without limit. All over the city are Irish bars, sports bars, dance clubs, drinking halls, pool halls, and jazz and blues clubs. Whether it's a hotdog for less than a dollar, a $100 meal from the latest celebrity chef or an authentic ethnic meal from a country you've never heard of, you can find it in New York.

Former seat of a royal kingdom and home to the only royal palace on US soil. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union.

Alaska

When you’re planning on a place to travel for your vacation, you might overlook Alaska. When you think of Alaska you may only think about cold weather, a cruise liner, and whale-watching. This is not all that Alaska offers for a vacation. Once you arrive in Alaska by car, private or commercial plane, or cruise liner there are many great things to do. Here are some great reasons you should plan to visit Alaska on your next vacation.

Alaska’s wildlife is spectacular to view when you are on vacation. There are not many places in the world where you can see a wide variety of endangered species in their own environment. Tours are available which will take you deep into the wilderness and let you view polar bears, moose, foxes, and many more. You will not find a bigger variety of species in North America than when you visit Alaska.

If you are not into viewing wildlife but are more interested in outdoor activities, then there is an abundance of activities you can do on your stay. If you like hiking you can hike the Harding Ice Field, which is a glacier that’s 1/2 mile deep and bigger than the state of Rhode Island. Or, while visiting Alaska, you can also white water raft, take sea kayaks, fish, hunt, and even scuba dive.
