The Top Ten Vacation Spots

If you are planning a vacation this year and want to try something different, here are the top ten vacation spots. One of these places is sure to fit the type of vacation you are planning, whether it’s to relax, have an adventure, a romantic getaway, or a family fun vacation.

1. Las Vegas- Over the years, the reputation of Las Vegas has changed from Sin City to a more family oriented vacation spot. Today, Las Vegas has a little something for everyone. Whether your vacation is geared towards gambling at a casino, live shows and entertainment such as Cirque du Soleil or a Gondola Ride at the Bellagio, or just shopping at the outlets and designer stores, Las Vegas can give you the experience of a lifetime, whatever your goal and budget.

2. Mexico- There are many Mexico vacation packages available that offer a perfect combination of historical interest, beaches, and the crazy night life. Mexico has various beautiful landscapes, including mountains, deserts, tropical jungles, and quaint villages and resorts for tourists. Try the favorite vacation spots of Acapulco and Guadalajara.

3. Hawaii- This is an obvious vacation pick because of its warm hospitality, stunning volcanoes, but first of all for its beautiful beaches. There are plenty of tourist spots on the islands, but try to really experience the island by hiking the volcanoes or by flying over the islands in a helicopter. You could even visit macadamia nut fields and see other beautiful island scenery.

4. Los Angeles, California- This city is home to Hollywood, and you are sure to spot a celebrity during your stay. Due to the beautiful Californian sunshine year round, it is the home of a large number of celebrities, and is the center of the TV and movie industry. You can take a tour of the stars’ homes or visit the bohemian zones. Since Los Angeles is also a popular spot for immigrants, there are plenty of different and even authentic cuisine restaurants ranging from Chinese to Mexican. A Los Angeles trip really has something for everyone.

5. Haute Route, Swiss Alps- If you want an adventure for your honeymoon or other vacation, Switzerland holds the famous Swiss Alps hiking adventure. Take the traditional Haute Route to see the largest mountain in Western Europe, the Matterhorn. A vacation with the Swiss will provide you plenty of culture, adventure, and warm hospitality.

6. New York City- Whether you are from abroad or a U.S. citizen, visiting New York is something that everyone should do at least once in their life. For the City that Never Sleeps, New York is truly a sight to behold. Be sure to take the time to visit the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Empire State Building. If you don’t catch a Broadway play while you are there, you better plan for a trip back. With the nearly uncounted number of activities you can do and things you can see, you will probably leave feeling that you have only just scratched the surface.

7. Aruba- Travelers love the sunny climate of Aruba, which boasts an 82 degree temperature on the white sandy beaches for most of the year. On the western and southern coasts you'll find a lot of sheltered beaches. This spot is a great alternative to the Caribbean and a perfect secluded honeymoon spot. January and February may be the best months for an Aruba vacation because that is when the carnival season starts, which ends with a grand parade.

8. Thailand- This country is named The Land of Smiles because you are welcomed by friendly people for whom smiling service to visitors is a great pleasure. Thailand has a lot to offer visitors. Whatever you are looking for, you will be fascinated by the ancient civilization and the glorious culture. There are wonderful sights, including exotic open-air markets and sparkling temples. There are endless souvenirs and cuisine at bargain prices. You can vacation for dirt cheap in Thailand, and even visit a luxurious health spa to regenerate your body and psyche. Also try to relax on a golden beach and enjoy the tropical sunshine and deep turquoise sea. Be sure to carefully plan your vacation so that you don’t get lost or swindled in this exotic country.

9. Machu Picchu in Peru- Hikers and tourists have visited the fascinating Inca civilization since its discovery in the early 1900s. Many call the experience magical. You can travel to another time by visiting the Inca temples and villages. Blending in with the hillside itself, many say the area creates a seamless and elegant green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.

10. France- The country has a lot of beautiful attractions and cultural structures to visit. It is bustling with activity, full of large cities like Paris and beautiful small villages and vineyard country side. The countryside still holds a strong impression of Old World feelings and hospitality. There are plenty of memorable places to visit and food to taste in France.

The Best Nude Beaches of the World

The first place of this list is given to the famous South Beach in Miami (the USA) attracting tourists from the whole planet. This beach situated next to the Art Deco region is having fun nonstop. Here you can feel the real “American freedom” which is already hard to be found in the USA.

The most popular nude beach Las Salinas is situated at Ibiza, Spain. The ancient saltworks situated next to the beach still gain salt for cosmetology purposes. Skin becomes smooth and silky after taking procedures with this salt. That’s why tourists visiting Ibiza have a unique chance to combine pleasant things with the useful ones.

The wealthy nudists’ favorite vacation place is La Voile Rouge beach, Saint Tropes(France). Famous Hollywood stars prefer to have a vacation here. But those who dream to unite with the nature are better to visit Clifton Beach in Baneberry (Australia), which is the lovely place of “classical” nudists. Here they do not only rest upon the sand, but sometimes arrange rises to nearest mountains and ride the bicycle being absolutely naked.

The silence and rest lovers have to visit a half-civilized beach Anse de Gouverneur situated at the Saint-Bartelmy Island and intended as for the nudists as well for the tourists preferring to have rest in swimwear.

For some people the term "nudist beach " causes anxiety and a mixed sensation of shame and danger. However thousands of naturists (this term seems more exact to the adherents of naked rest) in the world consider, that it is the most natural way to tan and swim. And there is a lot of such beautiful places on the planet, where such way of unification with the nature is considered legal.

For the first time beaches with people tanning naked became popular on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts in 50s. Since that time have appeared much more nudist beaches, and their geography became more various. However, now nudist beaches are not so popular, as in a heat of sexual revolution.
