The Olympic Peninsula occupies the far northwest corner of Washington State, where mountains, rainforest, and coastline meet within a relatively compact area.
Londonderry, often called Derry, is a city steeped in history and charm, uniquely surrounded by remarkably well-preserved 17th-century walls. In fact, it holds the title of being the only completely walled city in all of Ireland. Strolling along these ancient ramparts offers visitors not only a glimpse into the past but also breathtaking panoramic views of the winding River Foyle and the lively streets below.
Belize, tucked between Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea, is a country where ancient history and untamed nature meet. Once the heartland of the Maya civilization, Belize is dotted with impressive archaeological sites such as Caracol and Xunantunich, where towering pyramids rise above jungle canopies.
Les Saintes (also known as Iles des Saintes) are perfect for the kind of traveler who relishes unspoiled tropical beauty and the serenity that comes from doing next to nothing on a vacation, but doing it à la française. While Guadeloupe's bustling epicenter, Pointe-à-Pitre, is just a l5-minute plane hop away, it seems continents apart from the eight pristine volcanic dots that comprise Les Saintes. There are about 3,000 inhabitants in the islands. About half of them live on Terre-de-Haut where only a few dozen four-wheeled vehicles travel its roads. There is just one doctor, and his home, designed to resemble a ship's bow, is something of a local landmark.
