By Lindsy Hill
Submitted On March 25, 2011

A green expansive metropolis sitting pretty alongside the scenic Arkansas River, Tulsa is particularly attractive among all Oklahoma cities. A region of highly hospitable people, epic stories and soul-stirring landscapes, it is an ultimate vacation destination to be in. Apart from the normal touristy stuff that you might like to consider doing, how about pushing new horizons of knowledge and understanding a different culture? That's exactly what Tulsa helps you do, given its rich ethnic diversity and an equally affluent heritage. Coming to this beautiful city is easy, just board a cheap flight to Tulsa, you'll find them one too many through online air travel portals.

A trek through urban delights, a walk through natural ones, an exploration of the Native American heritage, an experience of the great outdoors, Tulsa is a perfect mix of excitement and relaxation. You'll always bump into some way or the other to exhilarate you completely as well as find means to soak in the serene ambience of the city. A haven of Southern comfort and cosmopolitan style, the city throws open a fascinating array of attractions, varied enough to satisfy one and all. See creatures big and small at the Tulsa Zoo, have fun with your kids starting from the historic wooden roller coaster to other thrilling rides at the Bells Amusement Park or make splashes aplenty at the Tulsa's Big Splash Water Park, go on a clicking spree and capture the magnificent sights afforded by art-deco treasures, or soak in the enjoyment provided by various events and festivals that rock the city at different performing arts venues.

Apart from being big on all things intellectually and creatively stimulating, the city also doesn't run low on leisure avenues and activities. Gamble a bit at the forever glittering casinos, pamper thyself at a world-class spa, play a few rounds of golf under clear blue skies, or book a discounted guided tour that'll take you to the prominent landmarks of the city and to its neighboring communities, places you'll love to love beyond the metropolis. Tulsa appeals to all travelers, whether they have a big vacation budget or not, the reason being the vast and varied inexpensive options and choices. Forever available and always accessible, you can book a room at a cheap hotel, savor the local food at an ethnic eatery for much less or a sit-down meal at a fancy restaurant at their happy hours, get great discounts on souvenir shopping, and enjoy the promotional activities that go on regarding sightseeing and city exploration.

Mesa Verde Colorado - Remnants of a Lost Civilization
By Darlene Corning
Submitted On May 09, 2011

Between 100 to 1300 A.D, these Native Americans inhabited the area in the southwest corner of present day Colorado. Visiting Mesa Verde, you immediately see the cliff dwellings where the Anasazi lived. But they weren't always cliff dwellers. They started out in the valley living in pit houses. These were small in construction, with a central pit dug many feet into the ground to hold the heating and cooking fire.

A stone bench was built around the floor area. A small room at the south end was used for storage. Each pit house had a small hole in the ground which was dug as a symbolic entrance from the lower spirit world. It was known that they were farmers, growing corn and vegetables. They hunted animals for meat and clothing. They knew how to bring water to their crops by building ditches and dams. Eventually, stone lined lakes were built to hold the runoff from spring snow melts.

Pottery, cooking utensils and hunting and farming implements have been found at Mesa Verde. The pots were made of clay and used as storage for grain, water and also for cooking. Hunting and cooking implements were made of dried tree limbs, with dried animal ligaments tying the rocks and stones to the wood. It is believed that the Anasazi were the first Native Americans in Colorado to use the bow and arrow.

The people at Mesa Verde traded with travelers passing through their land. Evidence of this is the shell ornaments found around their homes. These came from the Gulf of California. Around 1200 A.D., the Anasazi were becoming richer and built larger houses. The pit houses were then used for ceremonial events. They were called "kivas". Sometime after 1200 A.D., the Anasazi moved into the cliff dwellings of the canyon. Raids from newcomers to the area made the move upward a strategic lookout point to see the enemy coming from all directions. 1300 A.D. shows that the Anasazi left the region. Archeologists only found a few human skeletons at the site, and concluded that they were from sick or older individuals.

War had not been waged on the cliff dwellers so that was not an option of speculation. Perhaps they had become too overcrowded for their valley and decided to move south and settle near the Rio Grande. Maybe frequent traders brought in diseases that wiped out the tribe. Nothing has been proven. Way out there in speculation is that aliens took them all back to their home planet on their spaceship.

Mesa Verde is a tribute to this lost tribe. A visit here will have you asking the same question that people have asked for centuries: What really became of them?

My husband and I have lived in Colorado for quite awhile. We have a beautiful property in the mountains with views that are just breathtaking. Being a detective of sorts, my curiosity was peaked by all the old west history Colorado has to offer. So I started to investigate. I found a wealth of information, lost civilizations, legends, ghost stories, unknown explorers, settlers, ghost towns, etc. We have traveled to many historic places in the state and have seen some of the triumphs and tragedies that helped form Colorado.

Romantic City Guide - Sacramento
By Ron Zvagelsky
Submitted On September 20, 2006

Recommend Article Article Comments
Sacramento is a great city for couples to visit, especially those who are more interested in the history of the area, but there are activities for those who may not be into going to museums and historical places.

Old Sacramento is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. The area looks like a section of the city stuck in the 1800's, and although there are a few modern businesses in the area, Old Sacramento is more of a hotspot among tourists rather than a residential or commercial area. There are several museums and quaint shops in the area, as well as a few restaurants. The most visited part of Old Sacramento is the California State Railroad Museum, full of artifacts and trains, many of which are intact from the time they were last used. (Travel to California became much easier and quicker with the introduction of the Steam Engine.)

The city of Sacramento is also home to many festivals that many people come from all over the world to attend. The Traditional Jazz Music Festival is held annually over the Memorial Day Weekend and the California State Fair is one of the most popular events of its kind in the world. Held annually for the last 152 years, the California State Fair draws in more than a million visitors each year and is always filled with fun exhibits and entertaining performances.

As far as dining is concerned, Morton's Steakhouse is a wonderful upscale restaurant to spend the night at, as is the Biba Ristorante Italiano, which has won the "Best Restaurant in Sacramento" award multiple times. If you are in the mood for Chinese, P.F. Chang's China Bistro is always a favorite spot among couples.

Sacramento is a city that is buzzing with excitement and there is plenty to do and see in the wonderful city.

Top Five Activities for Kids in San Antonio - Family Fun and Entertainment
By Kristen Hohn
Submitted On August 30, 2010

Recommend Article Article Comments
As a life-long resident, I have experienced most of the "must-do" kids activities in San Antonio. Now that I am raising children of my own, I am blessed to be able to share some of these same family fun experiences with them. Here are my picks for the top five must-do activities for kids.

Seaworld

SeaWorld of San Antonio is a marine life-based amusement park and aquarium. From dolphins to beluga and killer whales to penguins and sea lions, children get a chance to view these creatures, as well as interact with some of them. Being both an amusement park and aquarium, Seaworld offers a wonderful lineup of entertaining shows and thrill rides, along with a waterpark and a very special place called "Shamu's Happy Harbor", where kids can enjoy a water play area of their own. SeaWorld is a great way to spend a day, or even an entire summer!

Magik Children's Theatre

The Magik Children's Theatre, located in the heart of downtown, is a wonderful place for kids to experience the magic of theatre, while watching some of their favorite children's books be put into action. The theatre, which offers plays year-round, focuses only on popular children's literature. They also offer resources for educators who would like to expand what their students learned in the play, as well as a touring group who performs at schools and events around the area.

San Antonio Zoo

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! The San Antonio Zoo, which is located on fifty six acres near Brackenridge Park in San Antonio, is home to over 3,500 animals, making it one of the best zoos to visit in the nation. The zoo also boasts the Kronkosky Tiny Tot Nature Spot, which is an entire area dedicated to the development and education of young children, allowing children to learn through play and to immerse themselves in the nature all around them.

Witte Museum - HEB Science Treehouse

The H-E-B Science Treehouse, located inside the Witte Museum, offer four stories of fun for kids of all ages. Exhibits include Eco-Science, Body Transformation and the H-E-B Sky Cycle. The H-E-B Science Treehouse, and the other exhibits which the Witte Museum has to offer can make for a morning or afternoon of fun!

Kiddie Park

The Kiddie Park, located on Broadway, has been a staple for San Antonio kids fun since 1925. Recently purchased by new owners and renovated, the park provides a one-of-a-kind experience for family fun. There is nothing that comes close to watching your child's eyes fill with excitement as they ride the carousel or kiddie-sized ferris wheel. From the rides to the music to the treats, the Kiddie Park offers an opportunity for kids to step back into a simple era of fun!

06 Essential Travel Tips For Solo Female Travelers
By Tirthankar Bose

With this article today I will be sharing you 06 travel tips for solo female travelers. So if you are a female traveler who likes to go solo and have questions regarding safety then these hacks will surely help you out in keeping you safe.

Being a travel blogger, I always receive emails from my female readers regarding their safety when they are traveling solo or even with a companion.

I guess we all have heard these lines:

The world is not a nice place.
This country is not safe
You can be a target for locals
Well, screw that!
Yes, there are people who have bad intentions but trust me, the number is very less.

I have traveled to many countries and the places which have been termed as hostile are the ones, where I have found the friendliest people.

Understand one thing, that there are certain situations which are not in our hand. So better ignore it.

So with these 06 travel tips I would try to help you in keeping safe on foreign lands.

So let's start.

Politeness: Politeness and a smiling face is one of the best things a traveler like you can do. In any part of the world, if you keep a smiling face and remain polite most of the hard situations can be tackled.

Saying No: Always keep in mind one thing; if you smell something fishy say 'No'. As most of the times, your Gut feelings have an idea what is coming in front. For example, if someone is trying to be friend with you and you don't feel good about it, just say 'No' in a polite manner.

Don't Travel During Nights: Yes this is another point which you always keep in mind if you are traveling solo. If you traveling from point A to point B, it is always suggested to cover the distance during morning.
Knowledge Of Scams: Before visiting any country whether it's Britain, India, Malaysia, Russia or any other country you must do your homework on various scams that other travelers face. Doing your homework is a must for anyone. So try doing your research. It will surely help you in understanding what to do and not do when facing the same issue.

Appropriate Dressing: In some cultures, people prefer modest dressing when visiting churches, mosques, temples and other religious places. In addition, if you have tattoos, try covering it, as not everyone likes it. So always try covering your body and not show your skin in some countries.

Cab safety: Always try to keep your belongings with you in the back seat so that if you need to jump out of the cab, you can do it without any second thought. Next always keep the number of the cab with you, so that in any mishaps you can share the number with police or your near ones.

So here was my 06 travel tips for solo female travelers. Hope you liked it.

A Quick Overview of Austin Live Music Genres
By Morris Raymond
Submitted On February 27, 2017

Recommend Article Article Comments
Expert Author Morris Raymond
The Austin live music scene (and by Austin we mean Austin, Texas) is one that is generally held up as a beacon for other musician-heavy cities trying to build industries around people gigging and those going out to gigs. After, Austin has been noted as being "the live music capital of the world", and there's a good reason for that. The city has been an embodiment of the utopian spirit that musicians have flocked to for decades. Couple that with a population that is always listening for the next big star, and you have the makings of a combustible music scene that is ready to go off almost any night.

Still, sifting through the number of solo acts and bands that move through the corridors of Texas' capital city can be a little overwhelming even for the grizzled music "lifer" who feels they have a grasp on what types of music are in Austin.

For starters, you have to take into consideration the geographic location of Austin. Nestled along a string of major interstates that lead into the city (i.e., I-35, I-45, I-10), it's no surprise that there'd be a veritable mix of music. Probably the most popular genre of music in Austin is rock music. The image of the young, hip guitar-toting kid walking the streets looking to make some serious noise is about as rock and roll as it gets, and Austin has it in spades (you can even look up "music census reports" for the city that tell you as much).

Even with the rock edge in play, Austin also fares well with the presence of folk music and "Americana" that uses a more traditional (old-school?) sound and acoustic instruments. This isn't surprising given the ability to carry an acoustic instrument around, and by virtue of the instrument's construction, you are able to play without the aid of amplification or electricity. The genre also offers a generally more intimate experience between the musician and the audience, allowing the song's message to ring a little deeper.

However, one caveat to the folk genre is that it tends to have a number of music styles get lumped into that could be served as their own genre, such as the label of Mexican music. Texas is a state that is steeped in history with its neighbor to the south, and as with the advent of Tex-Mex cuisine, Mexican music is fervent in the area though to a much lesser degree than other genres.

There is also some relegation of music styles such as R&B, jazz, blues, and hip-hop to cellar dwellers in terms of their popularity in Austin. This could be, in part, due to demographic shifts in city population, as well as general shifts in population movement in and out of the metropolitan Austin area.

Austin, Texas and the Austin live music scene, regardless of its genre breakdown, is an institution in the world of music. Musicians flock to the area to get a taste of audiences that actually want to hear live music, and they cut their teeth working the popular gig thoroughfares hoping to make it big. If you've been thinking about visiting the "heart o' Texas", now is about a good a time as any.

I been living in the Corpus Christi area for a long time and I know how popular Corpus Christi is and how great the beaches down there can be.

Corpus Christi/Padre Island National Seashore: This beach is located just off of Padre Island in South Texas. This beach is huge and long over 70 miles long and is a great place for skimboarders and surfers. It's not very developed and has an enormous amount of nature. This beach is also a great place to go camping. This park also has some great dunes and sand. This place is also famous for windsurfing and so many other things.

If I was you I be heading now to Corpus Christi, there's still time to catch a few waves and nature's beauty!

Wouldn't you live a vacation like this? I know I would!

09/16/2018

Rain, rain go away, little Mingo wants to play. With all this rain, you can still explore. Let's do it underground!

Longhorn Cavern

The cave at Longhorn Cavern State Park stays a cool 68 degrees year-round.

Do you need some time outdoors, but the weather isn't cooperating? Escape the rain, cold or sky-high temperatures by touring these underground treasures:

Longhorn Cavern is so unique it's a National Natural Landmark. It was formed when an large, ancient river ran underground, dissolving and cutting away at the rock as it went. Guided tours occur daily, and you don't need a reservation.

Kickapoo Cavern
It is still wild, so plan for a hike. A cave must have stalactites and stalagmites to be considered a cavern, and Kickapoo has one 8 stories tall, the largest in Texas. Tours are on Sat. with reservations. If you visit March to Oct., don't miss the breathtaking exodus of bats from the park's Stuart Cave.

Colorado Bend
This cave tours are for adventurers, because you will literally get down and dirty as you crawl through tunnels to reach the chambers. See what it's like (video). There are tours for 3 skill levels, so give it a try! Afterward, hike to the park's 70-foot-high Gorman Falls.

Franklin Mountains
This caves allows you to explore man-made "caves" on mine hikes. Guided tours take you into retired copper mines, where you'll see several types of minerals. Tours are occasional, and reservations are required.

My friends, there are so many places to explore near where you live. Just google and see whats around. Lets do it before its to late.

09/16/2018

I believe everyone dreams of traveling the world, it's simply not feasible for most of us. Most of us are busy with our life. That doesn't mean that you can't experience as much of it as possible while you're still on this planet. My daughter and I been discussing the possibility of her family and I taking one mini vacation per month. One way to see as much of it as possible is to look around where you live. You don't have to go to Paris or China. Around Texas where i live there are over 50 national parks I can reach within hours. My grandkids would immensely enjoy the parks and learn about nature. So plan once a month and bring your family and friends closer!

09/15/2018

We are so bless to get a little rain compare to East Coast.

09/14/2018

Going on the 23 Sept! Got my tickets and I'm ready to float down the Comal River with some cold drinks. Come join me.

09/14/2018

Wouldn't you like to be somewhere else even if it's raining?

09/14/2018

As you know I visited the Redwood National Park. Thought I give you some additional info besides the pictures and videos I posted.

The park was created in 1968 to protect land adjacent to the California state redwood parks that were formed in the 1920s. Currently the combined state and federal lands are administered under a joint agreement between the National Park Service and the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The combined parks cover over 110,000 acres including 37 miles of pristine California coastline.

It's a beautiful park and the best way to see it by traveling up the coast. Sure you can fly in or take the train but you still have to rent a vehicle to get to the Redwood Park. Do yourself a favor and drive up. By the way, watch out for Bigfoot! Let me know if you see this post on your feed. Going back to my fan page to keep Posting my travel. Tks.

05/03/2018

As I do more research on traveling around the USA, I'm finding more n more wonderful thing about traveling. Say u wanted to visit Yellowstone National park for three months
There is a website called www.Coolworks.com that u can visit n website will show you what kinds of jobs the park is hiring for the season. Park will put u up n feed u three square per day n pay you. On ur days off you get to see Yellowstone n surrounding area. Isn't that great!

04/28/2018

I being doing extensive research on my upcoming travel around the USA. Since I be living out of my truck, I worry about danger. Actually, only Bigfoot and bears worry me. You harm any bear or Bigfoot while they are tearing your guts open, you go to jail!

04/23/2018

One of the things I'm going to miss while traveling is my grandkids. With our new technology, I will be able to keep in touch.

04/22/2018

I really don't like the idea of traveling alone. I had thought of take man's best friend along but decided against it for different reasons. Then I remembered Beto. He wasnt doing any thing. All he does is hang around the balcony n stare at the girls at the pool. We had a talk about the trip but he wasn't saying much. You see Beto is a good listener. He'll listen to me n will not say anything. Then once in awhile, I'll hear something from the balcony. He mumbled alot. I believe I heard 'Yes'. So we're going. It's going to be awesome trip!

04/22/2018

One of the first place I'm visiting is a place called Crystal Beach. It's a good place to start camping n trying out my gear before heading out. Crystal Beach is an Unincorporated community in the Bolivar Peninsula census-designated place, in Galveston County, Texas, United States. Several ancient arrowheads and hand axes have been found along the shores of Texas’ barrier islands, relics of the Comanche and Karankawa Indian tribes who lived there 5,000 years ago. Adding to that ancient treasure is a cache of 16th-century coins, bottles, and a pistol that washed ashore from the wreck of a Spanish galleon along the Texas coast. What if I find some gold!

04/20/2018

This is what's going to be my home for awhile. No, I won't be homeless. This is going to be my rig I'm using to go exploring the good USA. I have two months to get it all ready.
