World Travelers, Stand Up And Be Heard

Have you ever been to Rio De Janeiro? It is the hot spot of South America. With the carnivals, samba and other dance music, architecture and shopping, allows for hours of fun and excitement for the entire family. If you are looking for more spiritual adventures, there is the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer, and religious parades. Whatever you are looking for, you can find it at any of the Brazilian beaches. The water is clear, and warm, and beaches clean without harsh stone to cut up your feet. Just be sure to stay clear of the shanty towns where violence is a way of life. Be smart, and stay close to the more traveled areas.

Monte Carlo is the dream spot for many vacationers. Imagine a city owned by a king who opened up the doors for the world to experience and explore the grandeur. It sits on the French Riviera, with the Mediterranean Sea in Monaco over its shoulder, with access to France and Italy. The opulence, or majesty is known throughout the world for big spenders, due to the casinos, shopping and dining. If you like boating, you should visit the beaches on the French Riviera. There are yachts that will take your breath away. Charter one for a big anniversary or birthday celebration to experience something you will never forget.

Florida has so many beaches it would be difficult to list them all. The emerald waters, will melt away all the workday blues, and give you a place to stretch out and enjoy the privilege of getting away. With or without your children. There are amusement parks that will take an entire week to get through one end to another. So, start saving your dollars, because the money will disappear faster than you can imagine.

Whichever beach you choose from these mentioned, will bring a great sense of accomplishment. If you remember dreaming and wishing you could actually live beyond your means for a brief moment in time. One of these beaches will make that dream come true, and that wish answered.

You will find a vast difference with the beaches from Brazil to French and Florida. Figure out what kind of cash you have to spend. Take a little more time to decide what it is you want to do once you get there, and imagine the possibilities. Plan one area for one trip, and then in a few years, go to another location. Before you know it, you will be a world traveler and have great stories to tell your grandkids. You will certainly have something to put in your memoirs.

Be mindful to find out when rainy season begins and ends. The worst thing to have happen is to get there on a sunny day, and the next day the monsoon begins. Forewarned is forearmed, so if you do find yourself in the hotel with the rain pouring down, smile, find an indoor activity and plan better next time around. Have fun world traveler.
