Oahu: What to Do When You Get There!
Depending on where you're staying and how long you have, the island really isn't that big, and it only takes an hour to get from one side of the island to the other. So the timing should be fine on visiting the islands and you can still spend the whole day on the opposite side of the island! In every category, there are numbered things, but they aren't in order of when we did things. In Oahu, they just do things loosey goosey.

Traveling to Finland
Lapland—the mysterious place we all know as the home of Santa Claus, so distant and fairy, that when we were kids we felt like it doesn’t exist—is a real destination that can offer its visitors a once-in-a-lifetime experience. No matter whether you decide to book a flight in the winter and celebrate Christmas in the best way possible or to visit Northern Finland in the summer, Lapland always has something to make your journey a memorable one.

The Iceland Packing List
Maybe you're not that organized of a person and would rather just throw some junk in a suitcase than make a packing list and pack everything on it (*cough* me), but if you do that with Iceland, then you'll end up having to buy a few things while you're there (like gloves or deodorant, perchance?). Packing lists are just a smart idea, especially in cold places where you'll be for an extended period of time.

Most Extreme Places to Camp in America
Camping is one of those activities that basically requires you to be somewhat rugged. A person who isn't willing to deal with a bug bite or a little mud will not fare well in a campground setting—even if the weather is great.

8 Must See Places in Rome. Top Story - April 2018.
1. The Trevi Fountain Nestled in the heart of Rome, the Trevi Fountain is a true masterpiece. It's truly relaxing to sit under the 26 meter tall fountain and take in the incredible craftsmanship. The fountain is built upon an ancient water source, the Acqua Vergine. The design of the fountain we see today was designed by Nicola Salvi in 1730 and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. This ancient fountain is truly incredible as you walk up one of the many side streets leading to the fountain, you begin to hear the sound of rushing water and suddenly in front of you is this stunning fountain. No trip to the Trevi Fountain would be complete without tossing a coin into the fountain and some Italian gelato from one of the surrounding parlors. I highly recommend the near by gelato shop Venchi. With chocolate running down the wall behind the counter and a choice of the most delicious flavours of gelato you could think of, Venchi is my personal favourite. Take some gelato from Venchi and relax whilst taking in the beautiful Trevi fountain. The fountain is even more of a spectacle at night, with lights shimmering over the water the fountain after the suns gone down is something not to miss.

Best West Coast Vacations
West coast vacations may be peaceful or exciting, spent pampered like a princess in the center of a metropolis or living as one with nature. They can be a weekend or a month long, though you may not be blamed for extending your stay, and the area is suited for travel by plane, foot, and even train.

Dublin
If there is one place in the world I could stay every weekend, it would be Dublin: the people, the atmosphere and the pure beauty of city makes it appealing to all. The city that is vibrant but as intimate as a village speaks through the range of sights to see, the raging social scene, and nature. It shows the adventure within.
