Fun Places To Go



From Teresa Plowright, your Guide to Family Vacations
Beaches is a top brand in family resorts, and has long offered plenty of programs, perks, and fun pursuits for families. But the family travel scene is all about improvements and "what'll they think of next?", and Beaches is introducing a couple of nice extras to tempt families.

Beaches Resorts News: Martha Stewart Crafts, Big Bird
Beaches is the upscale family brand of the Sandals chain of all-inclusives, with "Luxury Included" resorts in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos. Features include nurseries, extensive kids programs, teen programs such as Scratch DJ Academy, waterparks, Sesame Street characters, butler service... Even "Beaches Weddings by Martha Stewart™". New this summer: a new Martha Stewart Crafts Studio™; and Big Bird is joining the Sesame Street gang at two resorts.

Cruise Ships Environmental Report Card
For the second year, cruise lines have been graded by an environmental group, and the picture's not much prettier this time around. Disney Cruise Lines at least gets props for "most improved", but a couple of major cruise lines went down a notch. Have a look at who scored what -- and also read the interesting comment by one of the cruise lines.

Classic Family Beach Vacation: Hampton Beach NH
Our Guide for New England Travel singles out this popular beach an hour's drive north of Boston, and as she says: "Few New England beaches can rival Hampton Beach for the sheer number and variety of amusements for ocean lovers of all ages." There's even a Sand Sculpting Competition.
