General Tips: If the eye is the window to...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: If the eye is the window to the soul, I figure the eye that has seen the world reveals a richer, fuller soul.

    General Tips: Road Trip!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: North America is great to see by car. From big city excitement to wide open spaces, a car can take you there. Of course, the enormity of the continent makes flying a necessity if you're itinerary includes far-flung destinations. Trains are not as far reachind and efficient (for the most part) as in Europe, but they are also a possibility.

    General Tips: Sail away!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: There are miles of coastline to explore and North Americans have a great seafaring tradition. Boating is also big inland on lakes and rivers across the continent. One of the most popular cruise destinations in Alaska, often reached by way of the western Canadian coast from either Seattle or Vancouver.

  • Favorite Thing: There are many, many beautiful, historic lighthouses throughout North America. I've seen many of them in the US, but I'd love to explore many more, especially the ones up in Nova Scotia. This one is in northern Minnesota.
