Happy Thanksgiving!

You suffered the lines, you tolerated the delays and you managed to escape the traffic. It’s finally turkey time! At USA Travel Guide, we’re fully expecting our Thanksgiving coma to spill over into Friday. Please forgive our gluttony and await our lethargic return on Monday, the first of December. Travelers, may your skies be clear, and happy [...]

Eat Up!

USA Travel Guide is launching a series dedicated to great American food destinations, be they states, cities, hotels, bed and breakfasts or even individual restaurants. Considering our holistic approach to the travel experience, it seems only natural that we bust open this one element of any trip that most travelers let mire in mediocrity. (Besides, it’s [...]

Top American Zoos – John G. Shedd Aquarium

From the word “go” (heck, from before the word “go”), the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago’s famous Grant Park was a monstrously ambitious project. Contributing $3 million of his own money (roughly 35 million by today’s standards), capitalist and philanthropist John Shedd envisioned an aquatic ecological attraction like the world had never seen, and [...]

Haunted History Tours – French Quarter Hotels

I have to admit, I’ve got a thing for ghosts. While the rest of the country is watching America’s Funniest Home Videos, I’m watching Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi. I especially like ghost and haunted history tours. For one thing, they’re fun and usually family-friendly, but more importantly, they offer a one-of-a-kind perspective on the city or [...]

Mexico Luxury Resorts for Beachfront Holiday Getaways

When we began this little adventure of ours into holiday getaways that are more sand than snow, I explained that I got the idea from the trailer for the upcoming movie Four Christmases, where a couple tries to avoid their family over the holidays by going to Fiji. Now, I’ve mentioned some great beachfront locales, [...]

Cocoa Beach Hotel for Beachfront Holiday Getaways

We’ll get through this series on beachfront getaways for the holidays yet! Approaching the northern border of where you’d reasonably want to spend mid-December, you know, outside, Cocoa Beach ranks up there among the top family getaway destinations in the nation, and during the winter holidays it doesn’t lose a single candela of its luster. We like [...]

Support Green Hotels – An Orlando, Florida Hotel Leads the Way

At USA Travel Guide we’re committed to the sustainability and prosperity of the American hospitality, travel and tourism industries. Critical to this goal is the support of hotels, resorts and attractions that have embraced green initiatives at any scale, and we hope to highlight example-setters on a regular basis. That’s why we couldn’t be happier to [...]

Hotel in West Palm Beach for Holiday Getaways

This year we’re hitting the beach for the holidays; check here to find out why. As a beachfront vacation destination, West Palm Beach, Florida has a lot to admire, the least of which is the veritable smorgasbord of outdoor delights, but for the true resort aficionado, the place to be is Singer Island. The ace up [...]

Top American Zoos – The Fort Worth Zoo

I wouldn’t be a very good Dallasite if I didn’t jump on the opportunity to spread the word about the Fort Worth Zoo. Yeah, yeah, there’s a zoo in Dallas, too, but any local will tell you that it’s worth the extra time (and gas money) to make the trek out to the one in [...]

Hollywood, Florida Hotel for Beachfront Holiday Getaways

Jump back to the beginning of our blasphemous “holidays on the beach” series here. At this point, we’ve given the West Coast its fair share of the spotlight, and it seems only appropriate that the East Coast should have its day in the warm tropical sun. The eastern seaboard is certainly home to dozens of fantastic [...]
