A swamp tour is one of the most exciting and memorable experiences near New Orleans. Louisiana's swamps are a key part of the state’s culture, providing a rich environment for wildlife, stories, and traditions. In fact, Louisiana is home to over three million acres of wetlands!
I booked a tour with Ragin' Cajun Swamp Tours, just outside New Orleans, and it was an incredible way to explore the natural beauty and mystery of the area.
Imagine gathering your gear for an international expedition across four continents, only to realize you never need to clear customs or leave the state line. That is the magic my family and I discovered on our many trips through the Golden State.
California contains an unbelievable concentration of global weather systems. You can stand on a frozen alpine peak in the morning, cross a scorched desert valley by afternoon, and wake up the next day beneath a misty rainforest canopy.
Gather around, because I want to walk you through how you can experience the world's most iconic climates in a single week.
California Adventure opened its doors on February 8, 2001. It is a totally separate theme park from Disneyland, but they both reside within the Disney Resort complex.
The park started with five areas but was remodeled recently to include 7 distinct areas. Each area represents various aspects of California, its culture, landmarks and history. It is home to Disney’s only real rollercoaster, a must-see hang-glider ride, and a unique Ferris wheel.
Visit Paradise Pier or Pacific Wharf to relive summer times at a California beach town. Or go to Hollywood Land for a look into how Disney movies are made or to rescue the Guardians of the Galaxy. And for a trip into California's wilderness, visit Grizzly Peak. Finally, for a thrilling race through Radiator Springs go to Cars Land.
Embarking on a family road trip from Los Angeles down the Baja California peninsula offers an adventurous yet safe journey filled with stunning scenery, cultural encounters, and unforgettable activities. Over roughly 1,000 miles (1,600 km), you’ll travel from the bustling border at Tijuana or Tecate, through the wild deserts of Baja California Norte, to the turquoise bays of Baja California Sur, ending at the iconic tip of Cabo San Lucas.
