Family RV Adventures in Colorado

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:19:18 -0500

Pack up the RV and your kids and head to Colorado for some great RV Road Trip adventures. The Rocky Mountain region alone is worth the visit but there's also fossils, dinosaurs, and ancient cliff dwellings to explore. Before we go further, here are some RV places you should know about: * Rent your RV in Denver through Nolan's' RV Rentals. * If you own your RV, Mattas Marine & RV, an RV supply & service store in Grand Junction might come in handy. * Enjoy the hot springs at the Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa in Alamosa. * Many hotels, like the Royal Gorge Jellystone Park Camp Resort in Canon City or the Heron Lake RV Park in Fort Collins have many facilities available to you during your stay there, including laundry room, playground, picnic areas, pools and children's activity programs. * Otherwise, head for the campgrounds dotting Colorado & park your RV amongst the trees! Colorado has more than 500 mountain peaks throughout the state. The highest point of the state (and the entire Rocky Mountains for that matter) is Mt. Elbert which has an elevation of 14,440 feet. **End Summary** Topics: RV Road trip]]> road trip planner]]> road trip planning]]> summer]]> family]]> kids]]> camping]]> hiking]]> swimming]]> ]]> About the Author: ]]> Tripwise r is a fun place to visit!

Romance In and Around Sausalito

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:46:44 -0400

Just 15 minutes north of San Francisco, you'll find the charming bayside town of Sausalito to fill out your Road Trip Planner. Sausalito is picturesque with a great waterfront area. There are houseboats and flower-lined side streets, quirky stores and plenty of places to dine, most with a view of the bay. It's also very near the Redwoods (Muir Woods, about 8 miles), a couple of beaches within 20 minutes (Muir Beach, Stinson Beach), Angel Island & Tiburon just a tad north, and of course, San Francisco about 15 minutes south. You'll find a broad range of hotels to suit your budget. Consider indulging yourself at the Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa ($200-$405/night) that's right on the waterfront (street side) and where every room has a view of Richardson Bay. Another good option is The Inn Above Tide, which sits right over the water ($305 to $1025/night). Both hotels are on Bridgeway, the main street in Sausalito. If you're looking for a less expensive hotel to add to your road trip planner, check out Hotel Sausalito (a bit of French Riviera on the park in Sausalito) starting at $155 and others in the low $100s. **End Summary** Topics: Road trip]]> road trip planner]]> road trip planning]]> summer]]> beach]]> romance]]> romantic]]> ocean view]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Plan your next road trip with the road trip planner which leverages the collective wisdom of thousands of users worldwide, and makes road trip planning interactive and fun.

Comforts of Home and Exotic Fusion at the U.S. Virgin Islands

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:44:21 -0400

Road Trip Planners in the United States know that Fall is breathing down their backs and if they still want to go on an exotic beach getaway before Summer gives way to Fall, they better already have their passport in hand or... they can go to the U.S. Virgin Islands! The U.S. Virgin Islands are tucked between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east of Puerto Rico. The northeast islands are called the British Virgin Islands and the two regions comprise the Virgin Islands archipelago. If diamonds are rated by the four Cs (caret, cut, color, clarity); then these islands could be rated by the four Ss (sun, sand, sea, surf). And as in Hawaii, all beaches in the Virgin Islands are public, meaning that even though you might arrive at a gated community, you must be given access to the beach, even at the fanciest resorts. Oooolala! 3 EASY FACTS TO EASE YOUR BUDGET AND MIND: * You'll have sunny days no matter when you go. Winter is a comfortable 77ºF (25ºC), and the average summer temperature is 82ºF (28ºC). * The currency there is the U.S. dollar. **End Summary** Topics: Road trip]]> road trip planner]]> road trip planning]]> summer]]> beach]]> rainforest]]> passport]]> exotic]]> romantic]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Plan your next road trip with the road trip planner which leverages the collective wisdom of thousands of users worldwide, and makes road trip planning interactive and fun.
