Florida

Luxurious beaches, lush Everglades, Kennedy Space Centre and world famous Walt Disney World are just a few of the travel and tourism attractions that boom in the sunny state of Florida.

Add to that championship golf courses, museums, numerous water parks, the Daytona Motorcycle Classic and tropical year-round weather, and you have the perfect destination for a honeymoon, spring break trip or a family vacation.

Orlando is probably the best know Florida hot spot where the attractions include an enormous number of theme parks, entertainment facilities, resorts, movie studios and water parks.

San Francisco

Though San Francisco sits just hours north of LA, it retains virtually none of its overbearing glitz and glamour. Its chic districts do lend the city a sophisticated voice, but its famous Beat Generation, offbeat events and nonconforming attitude give it an inviting alternative edge.

Built on a series of over 40 hills that provide awe-inspiring views of San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco (only tourists say ‘San Fran’) is enthrallingly beautiful. Though overwhelmingly cloudy and often times cold, the city’s beaches are more rustic and picturesque than tropical counterparts, and its ocean breeze invigorates the city’s ambience.

San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge by tourists but liked for its sundry culture and ethnic neighbourhoods by locals. Regions like the vibrant Mission District, the posh Pacific Heights and the quirky Haight Street are testaments to the city’s medley of political, societal and personal beliefs. An eclectic, fashionable culture seeps into bookstores, theatres, museums and restaurants, and a permeating diversity remains the core of its spirit.
