February 26, 2010 in Family Travel, Museums, Ohio Hotels, Zoos by Steven
It’s a children’s museum that a parent can love, it’s a nationally accredited zoo, it’s a top downtown Dayton, Ohio attraction, and it has a name you can set your watch by: the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery brings a whole lot of “yes” to the Midwest. Let’s check it out together. The history of the Boonshoft [...]

Attend WrestleMania XXVI at University of Phoenix Stadium

February 24, 2010 in Arizona Hotels, Events, Family Travel, Sports by Steven
Welcome back to USA Travel Guide. Two opening thoughts: Can you believe that hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, of all people, was the first to break the news? I love John Cena. The man can wrestle, he can act, he can crack a [...]

America’s Stadiums – TD Garden in Boston, MA

February 22, 2010 in American History Tours, Events, Family Travel, Massachusetts Hotels, Sports by Steven
Let’s face it: we are a sports worshiping country. We watch’em every Sunday, we dress up in special attire, and we celebrate in some of the most famous churches in the world: Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, Fenway Park … … … TD Garden? Okay, so the Garden might not be the most famous arena [...]

Visit the Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut

February 19, 2010 in American History Tours, Connecticut Hotels, Museums by Steven
Maybe it’s the romantic idealist in me, but I always like to imagine Mark Twain lounging on a rickety steamboat somewhere along the Mississippi. Peppery white hair frizzing every which way. Pipe hung low from his lips. Scrawling out the last few lines of Huck Finn. Truth is, Twain was a thousand miles away from the [...]

Page Museum and the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, CA

February 17, 2010 in American History Tours, California Hotels, Family Travel, Museums by Steven
If you’re anything like me, you didn’t much care about the La Brea Tar Pits until Arnold Schwarzenegger took a face plant into them in Last Action Hero. Turns out there’s, like, a whole museum and stuff. Do something different the next time you cruise L.A.’s Miracle Mile and visit the Page Museum and La [...]

Back-Country Wine Tour of Santa Barbara, California

February 15, 2010 in California Hotels, Food Events, Outdoor Adventure, Shopping by Steven
One day USA Travel Guide may get to Napa Valley, what with all its pomp and prestige, but until then we’re perfectly happy sipping our way through the lesser-knowns. A couple months back we visited the Livermore Valley outside of San Francisco. Today we’re heading even farther afield to the Santa Ynez wine region just [...]

Well, unless you’re MacGyver, something awesome requires a bit of planning. Spring Break vacation in Maui, Hawaii? Now that’s something awesome! Atlantis Submarine Tour in Maui, Hawaii We’ve [...]

Valentine’s Day in Redondo Beach, California – Healthy?

February 8, 2010 in California Hotels, Holidays, Outdoor Adventure, Romance by Steven
Now here’s one you don’t see often: a Valentine’s Day package that doesn’t so much pamper you with lovey-dovey crap as it does get you off your butt for a little cardio. I’m not sure I see the Valentine’s connection myself, but even with no package at all, Valentine’s Day in Redondo Beach, California is [...]

Valentine’s Day Getaways – Hilton Los Cabos

February 5, 2010 in Holidays, Outdoor Adventure, Romance by Steven
Throw care to the wind, escape the retched cold of February, and turn this Valentine’s Day into a three, four, or even five night romantic retreat for two on the idyllic coasts of Baja California. It’s not too late to reserve a Valentine’s Day getaway to Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort in beautiful [...]

Attend the Fresno Rogue Festival – March 4 – 13, 2010

February 4, 2010 in California Hotels, Events by Steven
If you’ve never been to a fringe festival, well, then you’re either in for the time of your life or a wicked bad case of attendee’s remorse. You will either be blown away or thoroughly stupefied. Actually, you’ll probably be a little of both. The Fresno Rogue Performing Arts Festivals in Fresno, California takes this Europe-inspired [...]
