Honeymoons - Places to Go
Workman Publishing Company, September 2003
Patricia Schultz, author of the new –1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Travelers Life List” suggests that people new to travel start with the following places.
London It is both familiar and foreign to American travelers. "Make sure you take any of the myriad day trips possible (Oxford, Bath) to walk away with an inkling of how much more such a small country can offer.
America's national parks Of the country's 300-plus national parts, you?ll be able to comprehend the astounding diversity of America's natural beauty. "Consider some of the lesser-visited ones like Bryce National Park in Utah or Montana's Glacier National Park."
America's great cities Explore what's in your backyard without a passport. "The all-American Greats like Washington, D.C.; or Savannah/Charleston; or the most un-American city of New Orleans: It is most decidedly not just about Mardi Gras but a fascinating blend of French, Spanish, Creole heritage reflected in its food, architecture, customs and music."
Go cruisin' Whether you're with family or friend, everything is prearranged, all you have to do is remember to have fun. "It's easy to make friendships with people from around the world, where guest lecturers bring the ports of call back to life, where you can unwind and not have to pack and unpack and pack again, and where you'll never go hungry. But choose cruise lines and itineraries carefully; and never pay retail."
