From Disney World to Hollywood: The Best Vacation Ever!



Orlando is the place where children's dreams are made of. Whether your little girl wants to be a Disney Princess, or your boy is desperate to meet Buzz Lightyear, you can find them all in Orlando, the home of Disney World.

If Disney's Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and water parks is the place younger kids want to go, Universal Studios and the Islands of Adventure is where the older kids want to be. For evening entertainment, check out Cirque Du Soleil for some phantasmagorical costumes and acts, before hitting the cafes and restaurants of Universal Florida's City-walk. For tiny tots, visit Wet 'n' Wild or the Aquatica Water Park. If you need some chill-out time, go take a break at Discovery Cove where Orlando meets the Caribbean.
Nashville, Tennessee, is the spiritual birthplace of country music and The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum can be found in Nashville's entertainment district where it tells the fascinating story of two centuries of country music. Head to the Grand Ole Opry House and see where Loretta Lyn, Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton launched their careers. See the stars immortalized at the Music Valley Wax Museum. Make sure you visit the Belle Meade Plantation-a fine example of a southern plantation where generations of champion thoroughbred horses were raised. Enjoy a ride on the General Jackson Showboat or visit the Hermitage, built by President Andrew Jackson. Finally, catch the Nashville Predators hockey team in action during a home game.


LA is the land of pearly white teeth, expensive watches, and fake boobs: the City of Angels. From Sunset Boulevard to Venice Beach, LA is as iconic as the famous Hollywood sign high above the city. You can take a tour around the Homes of the Celebrities, splash your cash on Rodeo drive - the spiritual home of designer labels; take a trip down the Walk of Fame and see the stars, cruise Sunset Strip, or visit Universal Studio's Hollywood. For roller coaster junkies, Six Flags Magic Mountain is roller coaster heaven. For true over the top LA kitsch, go to Venice Beach and see Muscle Beach, tacky shops, and street performers galore. Beach bunnies can head down to Manhattan Beach and soak up the sun.
