My Top Five Small Cities to Visit

For me, traveling consists of really 3 things: (1) destination (2) how to get there (3) what to do when I get to said place.  Of course, there are other factors to consider, but for the most part, it really only comes down to these few things.  When faced with these questions, I have always had a knee jerk reaction to pick the more ‘known’ places.  Whether it be Orlando, Las Vegas, Boston – these places have held their weight when it comes to tourist welcoming spots.  We all know that we are going to find loads of things to do in these places without really too much effort.  Below is a list of places that I thought might take a little bit more imagination but are equally as enjoyable…and educational.

West Monroe, Louisiana.  I know, only show in town is in New Orleans, but if you’re tired of all the crowds pushing their way into the next bar on Bourbon street, this might be a nice change.  Situated on the Ouachita River, West Monroe boasts a population of just fewer than 14,000, but this small town has a big town feel.  The Antique Alley is incredible, restaurants serve up some great Louisiana cooking and the bars are much cleaner without the pushing and shoving.  If you’re in the mood for a little football, then you’re in luck – the highly ranked West Monroe High School Rebels make their home here.

Cloverdale, California – One thing to remember about vacationing to small towns, is to make sure there is a big town close by in case your travel plans change.  In Cloverdale, you many not need it, but San Francisco is a mere 85 miles south.  This place has it all; located in Sonoma County (or wine country for all your aficionados), Cloverdale has everything that a small town should have…old run down buildings that keep their same appeal as they did when they were booming and they have a Citrus Fair every year!  Like hamburgers?  Check out Pick’s as they have some of the best in the business.

Stuart, Florida.  This pirate town has come along way from when it was first incorporated as a town back in 1914, but has never relinquished its history.  These little pirate towns have always fascinated me, and Stuart gives you the sense that you are aboard pirate Pedro Gilbert’s ship as he waited for unsuspecting prey off the coast.  Not to far from Stuart is Hutchinson Island where you can visit The Elliott Museum and the House of Refuge which is the last remaining shipwreck life savings station on Florida’s Atlantic Coast.  If more nautical adventure is what you want; Stuart is also the Sailfish Capital of the World.

Boulder City, Nevada.  After the bright lights of Las Vegas have you seeing Elvis’ spinning around the ceiling, take the 20 mile journey to Boulder City, Nevada to clear the cob webs.  The Hangover gang may have thought that spending the night in Vegas was a good idea, and for those of us that watched the movie, it certainly was entertaining; but for the rest of us, it might make good sense to simply enjoy what Nevada has – other then green felt and spinning slot machines.   Stroll down Main Street and pop into any of the many antique stores – or if a more heart racing activity is something you crave; take a nice desert hike along any of the marvelous trails.  On top of all this, the Hoover Dam and all its grandeur is just a few miles away. 

Belfast, Maine.  If you’re looking for a little piece of Americana, it might be hard to beat the feeling that this little town fills you with.  Located about 100 miles from Portland, Belfast has become somewhat of a haven for artists of all genres.  The tourists haven’t found this place just yet, but its residents know a great location when they see it.  Lines of bed & breakfasts wait to engulf you with the enticing aroma of maple syrup.  As small as this place is, its still on the Maine Coast and, having said that, lobster is all the rage.  The Lobster Pound is the best place to enjoy this delight.

Of course, there isn’t any science behind picking a small town to make a holiday of it.  There are more and more small towns that are popping up on vacation goers more and more.  Maybe it’s the state of the economy or the release of stress from city slickers who just need a break.  Or, maybe its something more then that.  Maybe its just that the traveler has finally figured out that some of these small cities have something that not too many big cities have – a welcoming feel.

Which place in the Carribean should I visit.?

Okay- I had the same problem last year. My husband and I have trouble on finding the best spot. Last year we were so indecisive that we said forget it and went to Europe.

A few things that we would enjoy – first we are in our late 20′s. Last time we went somewhere there were many older travelers, not that I mind but sometimes you want to be around your own age group.
We absolutely love clear blue waters (like the ones in the magazines that look turqoise). Laying out in the sun.
Nightlife that is pretty good – I understand there is not any Las Vegas or South Beach nightlife (but that is okay) – we will only need to go out once or twice, to be able to drink a few and laugh and dance you know what I mean.
Beautiful views would top it off –

If anyone has any ideas or have been somewhere that they absolutely loved please share it with me.
Thank you all – I guess I should say that Casinos could be an alternative to nightlife. So I guess I will find the beautiful waters and a place with nice Casinos.
Thanks everyone so much.

Your visit to Las Vegas

If you want an action packed experience, one where you’re living the high life and where you can have fun every minute, then consider visiting Las Vegas. Here you can indulge in gambling in many casinos, enjoy the entertaining night life, splash out on some tasteful shopping and wine and dine in some fantastic restaurants. In Las Vegas you’ll have fun, as thatâ??s what it’s all about.

Las Vegas is of course famous for its casinos and its all you can eat buffets, and some casinos even offer buffets. Las Vegas is host to a number of pricey restaurants; however there are also a few budget places available for those who get too carried away on the slot machines. The budget places are more reasonably priced than low priced. No matter what you budget is for eating, you’re sure to find an affordable place to eat. Buffets are excellent for those who wish to eat to their hearts content, the food is of an excellent quality, and there is a good variety of different foods including cuisines from around the world, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

You can have a better and a more fun filled experience in Las Vegas, with the amount of money you have to hand. So it’s important to get the best deal in everything from the flights to the hotel that you’ll be staying in. The more money you save on getting and staying there, the more money you’ll have to make your holiday a memorable one. Before you book anything, be sure to check online for reviews and the best deals available. Compare everything, including your flights, hotels, car rentals, travel insurance, transfers, travel money and even airport parking. Saving even the smallest amounts on each will add up to give you extra to spend while your there.

A Las Vegas trip can’t be fully experienced in a day, so book a room in one of the hotels in Las Vegas. Save some money on Las Vegas hotels when you compare Las Vegas hotels online.

I’m turning 21 in March, what city is the most fun to visit?

So I live in Chicago and for my 21st birthday I wanted to go to a fun city with a couple of girlfriends. Preferably in America, and with a really fun nightlife. And maybe not Las Vegas, I’ve been there and its…..just OK. So if anyone has been anywhere really fun (and somewhere I can get really drunk, haha) I would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!! <3
