1. El Yunque Rainforest
My first rain forest experience, and I loved every second of it - including the rain showers that just added to the experience.
About an hour away from San Juan; however you go there skip the highway on your way in and keep it for the end of the day.…More »
2. Sun Bay Beach
I am not sure to understand the two 2-star ratings this gorgeous beach received because in my books - it doesn't get much better than that.
We stayed in Esperanza and chose not to rent a car - pedestrians all the way!!! It's totally doable and when…More »
3. Blue Caribe Kayaks
When you go to Vieques, you HAVE TO go to one of the bioluminiscent bays of the island.
Don't be silly: don't leave the island without going there. It's a unique treat. There are only 12 in the world, 9 in Puerto Rico (the others are in India, Japan…More »
4. Cave Point County Park
Favorite place in Door County, hands down.
County Park = free entrance. And it's incredible because this place is GORGEOUS.
Like - advertisement gorgeous.
On a sunny day you'll be transported in another world, laced with gold, green and blue and will…More »
5. Whitefish Dunes State Park
One of the Top 20 beaches in the country.
You don't need to know much more.
But still....
It's a State Park, so you'll have to pay an entrance fee; don't let it discourage you: the place is really beautiful. And you can use the sticker all day long:…More »
6. Door Bluff Headlands County Park
Out of the beaten path but worth it. Coming from the South, turn on the first left street after the tourist information hut in Ellison Bay.
Natural trails who will take you on top of bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan.....you walk among the trees, take…More »
7. 63rd St Beach and Pier
Chicago, IL 60686
(312) 742-4847
Categories:
Swimming Pools,
Beaches
Neighbourhood: Woodlawn
So now that Promontory Point has become a 'destination' - thanks to a few ROTDs and a fantastic setting - what about going even more south?!?
Dudes, take your mind out of the gutter (not THAT south) and head towards 63rd street beach.
You won't regret…More »
8. Promontory Point
Chicago, IL 60615
(312) 747-6620
Chicago suffers from one terrible plague.
One cannot immediately see it when one walks or drives around the city.
But they are there.
The invisible lines.
The "last" frontiers.
The streets one cannot cross without losing their neat and proper Northside…More »
9. Calumet Park
Chicago, IL 60617
(312) 747-6039
Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,
Parks
Neighbourhood: East Side
Common sense 101 (section: nature & wild life) : when one is in a park, a garden, a forest or any other place where trees, grass, bushes and flowers are involved, one shouldn't go around smoking.
Either cigars, cigarettes, or pipes of any sort.

10. Mt Lemmon Ski Valley
Ski in Southern Arizona??!?!?!?
$*QE*R&@Q@?
Yes my friends - Mt Lemmon is high enough (9157 ft) to be graced with snow now and again - and there is a sweet ski lift to access the top of the slopes.
And it remains open during the hotter months to serve…More »
11. Holland State Park
A must if you are in the area.
The entrance fee is $8 (as of August 2011) but it's totally worth it and you want to support the State Park system, right? and when you really think of it - it's quite a small price to pay to enjoy a long day of…More »
12. Oval Beach
Ahhhh....Saugatuck...such a cute little place on Lake Michigan where you can FINALLY experience the sunset on the water!
When you are from Chicago this is by itself worth the trip. A treat to be appreciated and enjoyed over and over again.
Oval Beach…More »
13. Death Valley National Park
Despite its fearful name, Death Valley is one of the coolest, most amazing and beautiful places I have ever seen.
And the Timbisha Shoshone Indians who lived here for centuries before the first white man entered the valley knew all about it.
A mere…More »
14. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
Las Vegas, NV 89161
(702) 515-5350
Categories:
Parks,
Hiking,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
What a wonderful playground.
If you go to Vegas, take the time to rent a car and go to this wonderful place; this is a real treat, better than any cupcake in the world. You don't even have to drive that far - it's literally located 10 min away from…More »
15. North Branch Trail
Such a nice change of pace from the lakefront!
Don't get me wrong: I love our beautiful lake, its waves, its beaches, its sweeping views on the skyline and its great running path. I am not such a big fan of the crowds that take it by storm every…More »
