With L.A. Live finally nearing completion, Los Angeles is truly becoming the entertainment capital of the west coast. An entertainment center supported by an extensive network of theaters, bars, and restaurants, L.A. Live is an entertainment mecca like no other, and truly an impressive sight to behold for any tourist.

Anchored by the Staples Center, home of four different major sports teams, L.A. Live consists of an outdoor shopping area, a world class theater, numerous clubs, restaurants, movie theaters, and mall stores – it even boasts two separate five-star hotels on the same property and even luxury condominiums starting at over $1,000,000 each! As if that weren’t enough, as a testament to it’s worldwide clout, L.A. Live is also the proud home of the Rock and Roll Hall of fame museum, which, for the budget traveller, is open free to the public.

One of the great vacation ideas that has been around since before the automobile was invented is the taking of a good road trip. There are a great deal of variables that make one road trip very different from the next one. There are really only two essentials when it comes to taking a road trip; the first one is a road or route, and the second one is some kind of vehicle to propel you down the road. The rest is entirely up to you.

Problem: You don’t have a suitable vehicle to take a road trip with.
Solution: If you don’t have a vehicle, or the right vehicle, to take a road trip with, there are options available to you that you may not even think of. In many regions, towns are spaced as close together as two to ten miles, if this is the case then you can take a bike road trip. Ride from one town to the next and then return by the same or different route. Another option is renting a car, or better yet renting an RV.

A driving trip with the kids can be a great family experience. However, sometimes sitting in a car for the better part of a day can get to the kids. Planning in advance can help make the trip go quicker. Obviously the age of your children determines what to take, how to plan, etc. Here are some ideas to make that driving experience more enjoyable.

On 14th of September the current year edition of the World Expo will end in Zaragoza, Spain after three months of exhibitions, shows and entertainment.

It was a success, without any doubt, attracting even more visitors than initially evaluated. And succeed to do an even more important thing: growing the awareness on the global problem of water.

The name of the theme was officially : “Water and sustainable development“. Very generous theme, which has been treated very deep by the 200 participating countries. The King of Spain himself, Juan Carlos, expressed in the opening speech the deep concern on environmental problems and the necessity to think to the next generations. The biological clock of our planet is ticking, there is no way back.

Think only to this little thing: 1,2 billion people worldwide have no access to clean drinking water!

You, as a tourist, are maybe not the profesional traveler. You only need fun and entertainment and do not want to hear about sports, museums or whatsoever. Under these circumstances, there are maybe two ways to cover your needs.

1. Gambling tourism. You love that adrenaline sensation, you can afford to lose moderately, hoping in a big win. Take care, not to became addicted! Cards, roulette, computer games, everything is good for your need to take chances. Favorite destinations: Las Vegas, Aruba, Sun City in South Africa.

2. Debauchery tourism. You are between 24 and 34, workaholic, and when you go on shorter or longer vacations you need new strong experiences. I mean alcohol, sex, maybe even drugs(still a tabu). There are also some favorite destinations for this kind of tourism: Hanoi, Macau, Dubai, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Las Vegas.
