Travel Quotes

Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” Maya Angelou

The View on the Las Vegas Strip
Las Vegas Strip
Las Vegas
World-class entertainment, chic clubs, superfluous buffets, high-end shopping, the list goes on. Stroll along the famed Strip, a four-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard, where you can stand next to an Egyptian sphinx, walk through the New York skyline, enjoy the spa at the Roman palace, take a gondola ride on a Venetian canal, and see the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Experience all that Vegas has to offer.

San Diego
San Diego is sunny California at its best. Year round, San Diego entices visitors with near-perfect weather. Visit one of many attractions including SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and Legoland, or, take a stroll along the beautifully lined streets of La Jolla and Coronado Island. Prefer to treat your palate? Indulge in a flavorful meal in San Diego's popular Gaslamp Quarter. http://havelistwilltravel.blogspot.com/2012/05/destination-san-diego.html

New York City
With more than eight million residents, 800 languages, high-end boutiques, flavorful restaurants, and the world-famous Plaza Hotel, the city that never sleeps offers a unique experience to each of its visitors. The Big Apple is home to Broadway, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, funky SoHo, Central Park, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You could visit New York City 50 times and never have the same experience. Visit the hub of fashion, food, and the arts.

The Streets of San Francisco taken from the Cable Car
San Francisco
Cable Cars. Golden Gate Bridge. Alcatraz. San Francisco is home to many iconic landmarks, including Ghirardelli Square, Coit Tower, Lombard Street, Fisherman's Wharf, and Union Square. They're all part of the San Francisco experience; uniquely American, yet a world apart. San Francisco is a melting pot of ethnic diversity, culture and personality. Shop for designer clothes, enjoy impromptu jam sessions, stroll through hidden gardens, and sample delectable fare. San Francisco is also a prime location for Northern California hotspots including Napa Valley and Lake Tahoe.  http://havelistwilltravel.blogspot.com/2012/06/destination-san-francisco.html


Downtown Anaheim
Anaheim
While the Disneyland Resort put Anaheim on the map as a top tourist destination, Anaheim is also known for nearby popular attractions like Knott's Berry Farm, Medieval Times, the Discovery Science Center, and Soak City USA. But, there's more to the area than just theme parks. Anaheim is also recognized as a sports haven, as it's home to Angels Baseball and the Anaheim Ducks. Situated between Los Angeles and San Diego, Anaheim benefits from year-round enjoyable weather, contributing to its appeal.
