One of the best places to go as a tourist in the USA is Chicago – also known as the “Windy City”, because of it’s skyscrapers and the high winds that can develop in the area.

It’s not too hard to find a place to stay in Chicago, it really depends on your budget. You can stay at luxury hotels in the downtown area or youth hostels on the edge of town. One of the best places to stay is also one of the oldest and most loved in Chicago – The Drake Hotel. The establishment has stood since the 1920s and has a rich history and some of the best food available in the area too. If you go around Christmas time, then the hotel is transformed into a beautifully decorated place that looks like a winter wonderland.
Another great place to stay is the Palmer House Hilton. Again, this hotel is one of the oldest and has been modernized according to Hilton’s world class standards.

There are many things to do in Chicago and simply not enough time to do them all. As one of the best cities, it has very tall skyscrapers. One of the most famous is the Sears Tower which is the tallest building in the United States. The building was completed in 1973 and is 108 stories high. Tourists can go up to the observation deck and experience both stunning views of Chicago and the Great Lakes, as well as something truly frightening – the building sways from side to side on windy days!.

Are you interested in taking a family vacation soon? If you are, you may be looking for some guidance, especially if you and your family will be required to travel by airplane. As stressful as it can sometimes be planning a trip and flying with a family, especially one that is large in size, there are a number of steps that can be taken to ensure that everyone has a fun and pleasant time.
One of the first things that you will want to do, when looking to plan a family vacation, is to make your airline reservations early. You will likely be better off when doing so, for a number of different reasons. Perhaps, the greatest reason is the comfort and peace of mind that you may get from knowing that all of your travel arrangements are made and out of the way.
As for packing for your flight, you will want to make sure that your children’s bag are packed and properly. Not only will you want to make sure that they have all needed supplies for your vacation, but you will also want to make sure that they have items for the airplane ride as well. Each person gets to have one carry-on bag. You will want to make sure that each of your kids have one.
Speaking of carry-on bags for your children, be sure to fill them will fun activities for the plane ride. What you will choose will all depend on your child’s age. For example, younger children may benefit from books and a few small toys. For older children, portable DVD players, handheld video games, toys, and magazines are a great idea.
You will also want to make sure that you have extra snacks on hand and in your carry-on bags. This is important, as you don’t want to have to spend too much money at the airport. It can get costly to feed a whole family, even just with snacks. For that same reason, try to have everyone eat a full meal before you leave for the airport. This step combined with snacks can help to reduce hunger, possibly resulting in shared meals during airport layovers, which can also help you save money.
As for drinks, do not bring any with you to the airport, unless you have a newborn or an infant. If you have a baby, bring one prepared bottle of formula, but make sure to have some dry formula powder with you to prepare during a layover. Drinks, with the exception of drinks for kids, are not allowed past airport security checkpoints and they will have to be thrown away. When buying drinks at an airport store, past security, look for items that are reasonably priced or see if some family members, like you and your spouse, can share a drink.
As for when you arrive at the airport, be sure to stay together. Also, be sure to set ground rules with your children. These rules should include sticking together, not speaking to strangers, and so forth. In fact, you will want to help each other out. For example, if you have an older child, like a teenager, let them help you with finding the right gate, carrying bags, or keeping any younger children occupied. Your trip will likely be much less stressful when everyone works together.

Australia’s tropical top end is undoubtedly one of the last, great secrets of adventure travel, although the popularity of the region is now growing rapidly as word spreads about its magnificent, unspoilt natural beauty.
The term Top End refers to the northern region of Australia’s Northern Territory, which includes the state capital city of Darwin and the town of Katherine. Darwin is serviced by many international airlines and also by the Ghan railway which connects southern Australian cities such as Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs in Central Australia.
The Top End is a tropical region closer to Asian cities such as Jakarta and Singapore than it is to major southern Australian cities. Temperatures in the Top End hover around a comfortable 30 degrees C (85 degrees F) all year. Like most tropical areas, the Top End year is not defined by ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ weather but by what Top-Enders call ‘the wet’ and ‘the dry’.
These terms refer to the wet and dry seasons respectively, which should be taken into consideration when planning an itinerary exploring the Top End as road conditions and access vary greatly according to season. Wet season flooding can occur from November to April, and may cause temporary closure of routes to some of the more spectacular but remote Top End destinations.
Among the many magnificent natural assets that the Top End is endowed with are Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park and Katherine Gorge.
