History is filled with tyrants and bloodshed, all in the name of discovering new lands. Here are the few that kept it honourable.
Mendocino, California is one of the most beautiful and scenic destinations of North America in my book. This very place inspired me to ask my then girlfriend to marry me and we have fortunately been back to visit once since then. I cannot say enough great things about the area which encompasses the Redwood forest and the neighboring towns of Boonville and Yorkville.
When going through Boonville, beer is highly toted as well as wine. Any hop lover will enjoy the local brew as a refreshing break to all of the wine that is

As I personally grew up in the south (Georgia) my family went to Destin, Florida just about every summer for a week on the beach. With white beaches and clear blue water, Destin is a major destination (no pun intended…) for southerners as well as tourists from all over the world. The Emerald Coast as it’s known as offers the vacationing visitor all of the activities that one can expect when going to the beach.

It happens surprisingly often that, when we are traveling and are confronted by paradisaical locations and amazing people, we are unable to enjoy ourselves entirely.

I really want to go - but around my home in Colorado the only opportunities are in the rivers…which - in my opinion - are best navigated in a very large rubber raft with lots of cushion. I’m not sure it’s safe to be kayaking around these rocks and fast water through-fares.
I was looking at some information on sea kayaking..thinking this would be a better introduction to kayaking - calm coastal waters and bays…marine wildlife - no rocks or class-5 rapids. It looks like there are a few places that are great choices. Monterey Bay, Ogunquit Maine, or the San Juan Islands in Washington. I dug deeper into the San Juan Islands idea, as the pacific northwest is my favorite place to vacation. I found a ton of information and opportunities for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

When you think of incredible beaches, New York may not be the first place that comes to mind. However, Long Island, particularly the area know as The Hamptons, has long been the preferred beach destination for those who can afford to vacation anywhere on Earth.
The east end of Long Island, which is home to East Hampton and Montauk, sticks nearly one hundred miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. The nearby Gulf Stream blesses the peninsula with relatively moderate temperatures and it’s bounded by water on 3 sides so the fishing in incredible. A former whaling port, Montauk is now home to both the largest commercial and sport fishing fleets in the State of New York. Anglers from new York CIty take the train here to catch striped bass, blues, sharks and other ocean species.

I’m not a huge golfer, I havent ever understood the lure of chasing that little white ball around the lawn - but there are those in my family we are addicts. Every time we talk vacation we have to talk golf courses. I dont really whine much about it because I know that’s prime beach and shopping time for me.
We were researching a vacation to Florida last year - and i had written some on shelling in the Marco Island area and ran across the information on golf on the Paradise Coast. For those of you who dont know, the Paradise coast encompases Naples, Marco Island and part of the Everglades along the southwestern coast.
