Chicago

I've never been to Chicago.

The Windy City. The home of the Bears and the Cubs. There is much for tourists to see. Many art galleries and museums, sports events, neighborhood and cycling tours. Visit Greek town, China town and Little Italy. There is Hyde Park, Kenwood and the Pullman Historic District. You can tour Chicago by bus, boat or Segway.

Edinburgh

I've never been to Edinburgh.

So much history and many sights to see. Historic monuments like the Nelson monument, the Sir Walter Scott monument and Edinburgh castle. Unique attractions include the Camera Obscura and the World of Illusions as well as the Scotch Whiskey Experience. Of course there are art galleries and museums not to be missed, such as the Museum of Childhood and the Newhaven Heritage Museum.

Before I head off to Ediburgh, I must first decide upon my destination and home away from home. HotelClub offers many choices in where to stay. Here I can compare hotels and check rates and make reservations. I can find out the hotels with the best customer reviews. I can even check out apartments available. I can look for specials for my destination. I can even check for last minute deals.

Cape Town

I've never been to Cape Town.

A city full of diversities-both culturally and geographically. Must see's include Table Rock. The architecture of the city provides a diverse sight, including Edwardian, Victorian and Islamic structures.

Shopping includes crafts, antiques, elegant malls, and flea markets. You can also take in the art galleries. You can also pick up some of the world's finest wines.

You can experience beaches and mountains. Even the towering Twelve Apostles mountain range.

Europe

I've never been to Europe.

A land with so much to see and do. So rich in history. If I make it to Europe, there are so many points of interest I'd love to see. Prague , Barcelona , and numerous places in the United Kingdom.

Before I go, I can use Eurobookings.com to check out the best destinations and places to stay. Hotel information is provided in 13 different languages. I can use ratings and proximity to landmarks to guide my final decision.

Information is also available on the many attractions to visit while in Europe.

Darwin

I've never been to Darwin, Australia.

Located on a low bluff. Overlooking the harbour. In the Northern Territory of Australia. Beaches and saltwater crocodiles, museums, The Darwin Festival, and The Arafura Games every other year.

If I get the chance to go to Darwin, there is a place for me to go to compare hotels before booking my trip. Here I can see the hotels in the area listed. I can compare rates , see what amenities each hotel offers and even make my booking arrangements. I can even check out other customer's ratings of the listed hotels.

Puerto Rico

I've never been to Puerto Rico.

A part of the U.S.,....it's geography is greatly varied over the island. Palm-lined beachs, caves, forest preserves-the only tropical rainforest on U.S. soil, rugged mountains. The mountains formed from volcanic activity. While the highest peak towers above the island, just a ways off, is the Puerto Rico Trough, one of the deepest depressions in the Atlantic. If the base of these mountains were at sea level, it has been said that they would tower over Mt. Everst!

York

I've never been to York .

York has been known as the spiritual capital of the North. York is located about two hours, by rail, north of London. It is a wonderful, year-round get-a-way.

There is much to see and do in York . Starting with Yorkminster , you can visit the Medieval Gothic Cathedral. You can see eight-hundred years worth of stained glass windows here. You can view the sights from the tower top.

Another great place to visit is the original viking-age city of Jorvik . Here you can learn what life was like in this area thousands of years ago when the fierce vikings roamed the area.

If you'd like to experience the creepy, be sure to visit the York Dungeon . Here you will see 2000 years of gruesome history. Everything you see here really happened in that time and place.
