Barbados is really known for being a luxury tourist spot.
The climate in Barbados is warm year round, but it is worth noting that June to November is generally the hurricane season for Barbados. With 97 kilometres (60 miles) of coastline, Barbados has much to offer its visitors in terms of water sports and beach activities.
Some of the neighboring island countries are Saint Vincent, Saint Lucia, Martinique, and the Grenadines. Other islands in the same vicinity are Tobago and Trinidad. Of course, the climate in the island is warm and tropical. There are lots of trade winds passing through and this makes it a little cooler and more refreshing for the people in the island. There are still many woodlands and gorgeous mangrove forests that litter the still unpopulated and pristine wilds of the island. For the most part though, agriculture has already taken over the land and sugar is one of the biggest crops. The pastures gently slope downward and show the visitors a great panoramic look at the coast which is sure to take one's breath away with beauty.

Waikiki, The Hawaiian for "Sprouting Water" Beach

Kamis, 02 September 2010
Waikiki is known as the Hawaiian for "Sprouting Water" beach. Waikiki beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world. Its warm waters and rolling surf have been attracting large numbers of visitors since 1901, when the first large tourist hotel, the Moana, opened for business. It is the best travel destination for any kind of vacation that is the two mile stretch of white sand coast and fronted by hotels and tourist facilities.


More importantly, this is also where we will find the surfing waves that Waikiki Beach is famous for. But regardless of how we want to pass the time, the concessionaires along the beach will have something for us to do, from renting surfboards, to outrigger canoe and catamaran rides.
Just remember, that during the summer months Waikiki Beach experiences very high surfs, which can be dangerous to the inexperienced swimmer. So stay close to the shore, and mind the Lifeguards.


Getting to Waikiki is very easy. Oahu has Hawaii’s major airport: Honolulu International Airport. It’s not just the beach though: Check out nearby Kapahulu for local culture and, in particular, the famous malasada, a delicious doughnut, then go shopping at the renowned Kapiolani Farmers’ Market with excellent locally produced produce such as Hawaiian papaya and regional delicacies, and, if you haven’t got one yet, buy the loudest Hawaiian shirt you can find.

Copacabana, The Most Popular Beach at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

When one said about the world famous beach in the world, so the first coming to mind is Copacabana beach (Praia de Copacabana). Copacabana is the best travel destination that located within the city confines of Rio de Janeiro, this four kilometer strip of beach serves up an animated menu of activities and sights as lengthy as its coastline. Possibly the most famous stretch of sand in the world, Copacabana beach is synonymous with the hedonistic side of Rio – with sun, sea, beautiful bodies and New Year celebrations on the beach.

Swimming in its crystal blue waters, tanning in its sun baked sand, kicking around a futbol in a game of sand soccer or beach volleyball, with or without your hands, can all be deliciously tempting your round (though June-August does see its share of rain) at this prominent South American retreat.

Copacabana is named after the conspicuous (you can’t miss it) and still distinguished Copacabana Palace Hotel which opened in 1920, to this day attracts the rich and famous.



The allure of the wide, white sand beach, the affable locals or Cariocas, round the clock parties, bikini clad beauties (don’t worry ladies there’s a pile of bronzed back beef cake too) sumptuous restaurants, lively bars and music and night clubs all at very reasonable prices, will instantly gain and keep attention through out your stay.



WHEN WE NEED THE GUIDED WALKING TOURS IN NEW YORK CITY

Kamis, 17 Juni 2010
When we would like to spend the holiday, we should start looking for the information related to how and where we will spend our holiday. Tour operators (companies that organize holidays) as well as travel agents  give lots of information about holiday destinations and types of holiday. Apart from the traditional two-week beach holiday, we can choose from a range of holidays: a cruise (holiday on a ship), an activity holiday (a holiday that involves walking, cycling, climbing or other sports), a city break (a weekend or a few days in a different city) and so on. In this case, we can choose a package holiday, where flights and accommodation are included in the price, but we also can make an independent holiday, where we make our own travel arrangements.
One beautiful destination to travel for holiday is New York City (NYC), because NYC is one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations. More over, NYC has many impressing and interesting places such as Manhattan that offers the finest in arts and history, museums and galleries, designer fashions, fine cuisine, Broadway shows, cultural attractions, boat cruises, double decker sightseeing tours, the historic districts of walking tours NYC,  and ethnic neighborhoods and much more.

For these destinations, we can bring our family for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, horseback riding, arts and entertainment, parks,  golfing, sport fishing and more.
Basically, New York is a walking city, so it will be exciting and impressing when we spend our holiday by using Guided Walking Tours. By using guided walking tours company, we can enjoy many places in New York for detail and scheduled. This guided walking tours can be found at the companies which provided New York walking tours.
