In San Francisco... Well, not really, I am going there in less than a month and want to find some baby friendly activities. I have a few days to spend in San Fran, and really want to take some pictures of the bridge, and the city, and get some good shots for my photography class.
Anyone have any suggestions on "must sees" when I am there?
I would love your suggestions.
Thanks

Green Travel
Do you have the travel bug? Yes, but what about your carbon footprint? Can you combine your love for travel with your love for being green? The answer is yes. Instead of taking a large tour bus around London, try
London walking tours. Not only will you decrease your travel carbon footprint, you get a little exercise too! There are companies that are starting to see the light in respect to eco-travel. They are thinking smaller groups which means, less transportation, which means less pollution from behind those tour buses. If you are not into groups, try a London private tour. With tourism becoming one of the largest industries we all need to think about our own travel practices, try practicing the saying take only pictures leave only footprints. With a walking tours London you could do just that!

Traveling Time
Now that we are a family of three, we have places to go and people to visit. Now that we have more things to spend our money on we are really looking for cheap flights to the places we want to go. One of the trips we plan to make is to Pennsylvania in the fall. Not only to see the leaves change again, but to visit our friends. They told us to check out lonleyplanet.com and find a few things we would like to do while we are visiting. First things first, we have to find affordable airline tickets to and from Pennsylvania. There are places on the web were you can compare all the airlines schedules to your destination of choice. Choose your departure city and your destination and you can get search results almost instantly and find cheap flights around the world! Once we make it to our destination, one of the things on the list of to-do's is get a Philly Cheese steak. The original cheese steak. I think it will be a great trip. We can't wait to see our friends and their new family member!

Wouldn't it be Nice
I would love to jump on a jet plane this January and travel to Argentina. I know a few folks that have done that for New Years eve, and might be going again. Flying down to South America over the new year would be a blast, then think of all the fun things you could do once you got there.
My parents went two years ago and stayed at a few hotels in Buenos Aires. They had their favorite breakfast spot and of course danced their way around the town.
A few of the things they did while on tours in Argentina were tango lessons, tai chi in the park, and visiting the cemeteries in the area.
But there is more to Argentina that just Buenos Aires. I think if I were going I would plan for a two week jaunt around the country from top to bottom. There are many different tours that last from a few days to a few weeks. They will set up all the hotels in Argentina for your trip so all you have to do is pack your suitcase. Remember the climate though, since they are south of the equator, the seasons are opposite!
It would be an adventure what ever season you decide to go in!

What was the address again?
We were in New Orleans last weekend, and while we were there we walked the streets to look at all the old buildings. I noticed that many of the buildings were adorned with fabulous address plaques. Mostly they were made of dark metal they looked great and gave the historic buildings even more charm. I really liked the look of the home address plaques. I think our house would look great with a wall address plaque. Something classic with a modern flair! The house number and street name, or maybe our last name. That is something to think about. Which will I pick, address plaques with numbers, or one with our name.
Like the one at the hotel where we stayed, it was bronze, and had the name of the hotel, and when it was built! I don't think we need to go that far, since our house is not historic, but none the less the plaques were a unique way of having the address on the wall, without the stick on numbers!

The Great Outdoors
Not too long ago there was a chance that we were going to be moving to Alaska. It was a one in 7 chance. Now, we know that we are not going there to live, but we will go for a visit. Whenever we would talk about our chances of moving to Alaska, ninety percent of the people we ran across had either lived there at one time wishing to return, or were very interested in visiting Alaska. Of course, there was the minority who said "Yikes, Alaska?".
We have a few friends that have been to Alaska and visited Denali Park. They said it was just amazing. I can just imagine the wildlife that is there in the park. Travel Alaska and you will be amazed at the wonderful wildlife, everything from bears to mountain goats. I would love to go in the summer months to get full 19 hours of sunlight a day. Can you imagine having that much daylight, the flip-side in the winter is not so nice, very short days.
Alaska travel can be for anyone, you could take a cruise to get there and have all the amenities included, get on the Alaska railroad, or you could go out on your own, and really get to see the great outdoors. I think that is the way we would like to see Alaska. Hiking in Denali Park or a tour of Kenai Fjords National Park. There is so much to see that you might have to make several trips, if you are not lucky enough to live in Alaska.

Golf-The Sport for All Ages
One of the best things about golf is that you can play at any age, from young to old. Whether you enjoy golf for the fun of being outside with friends, or for the fierce competition, you can play this sport forever. If you tire of walking try using the golf cart, if your game is slumping a few extra lessons might help you beat your partner next time.
I am moving to Florida and there are a ton of places to play. One of the nearby areas has wonderful courses to check out. Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations can be just what the doctor ordered! In Florida golfing is just another excuse to ditch work early for a little fun in the sun. I can see it now, the bright blue sky the deep green of the golf course grass, what is not to love.
For those of you that will be visiting us once we move to Florida there are a variety of Myrtle Beach golf packages available. Some of the courses near by are well know, and have hosted the PGA tour in past years. Golf Packages in Myrtle beach are everywhere, you can just pick the courses that appeal to you and book them online. Dust off those clubs, shine your shoes and get your sunscreen, it is time to play golf.
