Traveling Toronto

With the weather already in the mid-80s, it's easy to start thinking of getting out of town. To paraphrase John B.L. Soule, "Go North, old woman, Go North." Since we've been talking with a friend in Ontario recently, Toronto came immediately to mind.

Arts and crafts, theater, festivals, and some beautiful Toronto hotels got my travel bug buzzing. The museum exhibits - from dinosaurs to King Tut - certainly inspire a visit. As does the chance to see "Jersey Boys" live.

I do think, however, that a trip to the 'Look Out' at CN Tower might be pushing my vertigo-suffering travel bug a bit too far.

Okay, Where Are the Outer Banks?

It's not that I was actually looking for Outer Banks vacation rentals. Once again, my travels around the 'Net peaked my curiosity. Just one problem: where are the Outer Banks?

By and large, I can find and name all the states on a map. However, when you get down to regions, areas, and such - I'm a bit lost.

What I found was a beautiful long stretch of islands off the coast of North Carolina. Two hundred miles of ooh-and-aah that got me wondering what a vacation would offer. A great deal, it appears.

So, I'm off -- to Kill Devil Hills, or Duck, or Kitty Hawk, or maybe Nags Head.

Branson Vacation

Being a curious sort, I was wondering about what a Branson vacation would offer. It's a place I've always wanted to visit. But, was fairly certain that I wouldn't find much to keep me occupied.

I knew there would be musical shows, of course. In my mind, that's what Branson was all about - great concerts. Boy was I wrong. Well, not wrong as much as seriously uninformed. Seriously!  . . .

Yes, there are over 100 shows, but not just musicals. Entertainment options include magic and comedy. Remember Yakov Smirnov? Well, he performs in Branson.

Then, there are dinner cruises, tours, a water park, a permanent Titanic exhibit, museums, and a zoo. For the outdoorsy types, the area offers trails, golf courses, and three lakes.

Much more than just concerts, isn't it?
