UNTOUCHED ICELAND

Just thinking about this exotic, untamed land sends ripples of excitement down my nerves. It is like a trip to some unknown planet. This is one place where most people have not yet traveled but it is becoming a popular destination. The vast open lava fields on both sides of the non-ending road, is simply unique sight. The roads are narrow, and seem to go nowhere. Once you leave the hustle & bustle of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, you find yourself alone on the road with no living being in sight; no birds scale the sky & no wildlife on the ground. All you see are mountain ranges topped with snow & lava fields. The highlight of Iceland is the "Blue Lagoon" where one can relax in the natural hot springs surrounded by nature. The water is hot & white due to some chemicals at its surface, known to have healing properties. One dip in the spring water is enough to recharge you & give you freedom from below zero temperatures. Another interesting thing to see are the geysers which shoot out hot liquid & chemicals from below the earth into the air, many feet above. I feel that Iceland is definitely worth the visit. There are 3hr direct flights (Icelandic Airlines) from Copenhagen, DK & New York. I highly recommend everyone to go to Iceland. HAppy Trip!!

BRANSON, "A city of lakes, mountains & breathtaking shows"

I never knew about this place until I stumbled on it on internet. I requested more info about the place and after looking at the brochure, I couldn't resist going there. Let me tell you, it is worth taking the trip since it is a wonderful place for all ages. The lakes are beautiful and the view from mountain top is amazing. A wide variety of world famous shows are held here. Some of my favorites are; The Shanghai Circus, Kirby Magic Show, Broadway dance shows, Castle of Chaos and the newest sensation "The Legend of Kungfu". Also, there are many other things to do & see like Titanic museum built inside a life size replica of Titanic Ship, Golf land that has all the zoo animal statues, waterfalls etc., Silver Dollar city amusement park and Branson Landing, where one can enjoy strolling along the lakeside, take a boat ride, enjoy free fire & water show every 30min. as well shop & dine. I am going again with my whole family this time to see places I missed the 1st time. My advise to all is GO!! My Tip is "Don't forget your WALLET!! Need to spend to enjoy all things this place has to offer.
