Mexico - Mazatlan

For those that wish to see part of real Mexico, yet want to have some of the North American features, then Mazatlan may be for you. The old town is very mexican in nature with its Markets, roads and fountains. You can also visit the El Faro lighthouse (but there is quite a rough climb to get there). The Golden Zone has the newer condos, time shares and the best of the beaches. The weather when we were there (Jan-Feb) was just terrific. The bus ride from San Antonio to Mazatlan will never, never be forgotten.

Oregon - Coastal Highway

The coastal highway in Oregon, including Bandon and south to the border of California is spectacular in scenery. Many alcoves are featured and the rock formations in the Atlantic highlight the ocean waves. It seems to be that perfect place to get away from it all, and just enjoy the waves and scenery.

Texas - San Antonio

It`s not only the Alamo that attracts tourists to this area, but also the Riverwalk or Market that brings in visitors by the busload. My favorite is walking along the riverwalk, browsing the stores, or stopping at a sidewalk cafe to experience San Antonio's eateries. The Mexican influence is apparent everywhere and the visit to the Alamo shows you how close we really are.

Michigan - Mackinac Island

Mackinac Island lives in the past as there is absolutely no motorized traffic. Fortunately one is able to travel around using bikes and horse carriages, but we were able to see most of the islands fabulous buildings and sites on our walking tour. Plan on spending most of the day and book accommodations on either the island or the nearby ferry departure points.
