Drinking and driving isn’t really the problem is it? It’s more of a drinking then driving scenario that causes issues.
Say if you were to drive for a few hours, have some drinks, call it a night, then repeat the cycle, that would be perfectly acceptable, would it not? Maybe a little alcoholic, but still acceptable.
With that in mind, enjoy the scenic drives and the tasty spirits that come with a trip along the Route des Rhums.Continue
Modest hills embrace colorful fields through which curvy roads weave, lined with vivid green Cyprus trees. Dusk paints the sky into a never seen shade of purple-gray, while the dawn skies arrive cloaked in an orange-maroon hue before transforming to a clear blue.
Welcome to Tuscany.
Wherever you turn, a picture perfect scenery awaits. Not accidentally, this place is the backdrop in many a movie, painting, book and dream. To talk about it, one has to use superlatives and even then it is difficult to capture the essence. Continue
When people hear about Grizzly Bears, the first word that pops mind usually isn’t “peace.”
However, at the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, it just might be…

Out of all of Utah’s national parks – Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and the north rim of the Grand Canyon – Arches unfortunately gets skipped by potential visitors. With fewer than one million visitors each year, there is a huge opportunity to enjoy the vast high-desert lands in solitude.
Arches national park is a dynamic – ever changing – land with new forming and disappearing arches, spires, fins, windows, pinnacles, and miraculously balanced rocks taking place every year. With over 2,000 recorded structures the park has something to awe at around every corner.
The park is desert land located in elevations ranging from 4,085 to 5,653 feet (1,245-1,723) above sea level. While the park is open year round the climate varies dramatically depending on the season. Summers are very hot while winters are dry and cold. Fluctuations in as much as 50 degrees may occur within any given day.
It’s a “dream trip” for many: an African safari. And there are few places in the world which rival Etosha’s wildlife.
Declared a National Park in 1907, Etosha National Park is truly one of Nambia’s highlights. Originally the largest game reserve in the world, it’s now less than a quarter of the original size. Regardless, it’s still massive at nearly 8,600 square miles.
Visitors won’t be disappointed by the variety of animals in the Namibian savannah conservation area. Etosha National Park is home to the Big Five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. This is also a great place to see the world’s largest population of the endangered black rhino.
Located in the center of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the truly epic Crater Rim Drive, which circumnavigates the Kilauea caldera and provides stunning views of rainforest, desert, volcanoes, steam vents, pit craters, underground lava tubes and much, much more.
All this in a short 11 mile (17km) drive.
The following lists major highlights along the Crater Rim Drive.
The road flies by under your wheels.
Your arm rests on the windowsill as your hand rolls up and down with the wind. Music plays on the car’s speakers while you drive endlessly towards the horizon.
A lengthy road trip with a scenic backdrop is an enjoyable experience. When visiting Jordan, substitute an extended bus trip for a drive along the famous King’s Highway.
It’s like the surface of Venus, barren and haunting.
Even the most resilient plants and animals can’t live there. It’s a snow white wasteland of salt and sky covering a vast area of northwestern Utah. Adding to the eerie atmosphere is the utterly flat and smooth landscape, so flat that they say you can see the Earth’s curvature.

Maui’s coastal drive is like pure meditation. Pop mango in your mouth, fresh from a roadside stand, get ukulele music going on the radio, and embark on one of Hawaii’s great drives.
The route unravels along 52 sinuous miles (84 kilometers) of Maui’s eastern coast from Kahului to Hana and delivers black-sand beaches and azure ocean on one side and plunging waterfalls, limpid pools and bamboo jungle on the other. However, the highway has more than beauty: it is an impressive feat of engineering, dug out of Maui’s precipitous coastline by hand tools.Continue
The rich blue color is memorizing. Visitors often stand at the rim staring down upon the water like it’s a crystal ball that will reveal their destiny. Crater Lake is considered the cleanest lake on the planet and the deepest lake in the United States at 1,943 feet (592 meters) deep, hence its dramatic color.
The lake sits atop a 7,700 year old and 12,000 foot (3,600m) tall volcano that collapsed inward on itself. Over the years, rain and snow melt slowly formed the pristine water found at Crater Lake, which has no other inlets such as rivers or streams.
Volcanic activity has shaped other parts of the park such as Wizard Island, a popular sight near the southwest shore. The outer sides of the volcano are covered with forest and meadows make it an excellent home to animals and plants. Continue

If so, Serengeti National Park is the place to see it all – up close and personal.
Located in Tanzania, the park extends into Kenya (where it’s called the Masai Mara). With 5700 acres, it’s not surprising the Serengeti is home to millions of animals. Most famous for the Wildebeest migration from December to July each year, the National Nark is one of the most impressive wildlife sanctuaries in the world.
The Masai people had been using the area to graze for hundreds of years before the first Europeans visited in the early 20th Century.
After the park was named a National Park in 1929, and a protected area in 1940, the Masai people were moved to the nearby Ngorongoro highlands. Continue
