The Best Road Trips In The USA
With a total size of 9.83 million square kilometres and 6.3 million kilometres of roadway it’s unsurprising that the USA has some of the most picturesque highways and byways in the world.

I didn't know anyone that had ever been on a cruise (well maybe one of my sister's and her husband had, but I hadn't even seen pictures of it). To me a cruise was something that people did on TV shows, or won on game shows like The … [Read more...]
