Fun Places To Go



From Teresa Plowright, your Guide to Family Vacations
Last weekend was not only Easter weekend, it was also Earth Day, on Friday: see below for efforts by some players in the travel industry to re-use and recycle. (And shouldn't every airline recycle plastic water cups and soda cans on their flights?)

LEGOLAND Florida
Construction's proceeding on this new 150-acre theme park, due to open in October. Location is in Central Florida, about an hour from either Orlando or Tampa, which makes it an easy day trip from the theme park center of the universe.

Hilton Hawaiian Resorts Package
The Hilton brand has a "50 Years of Aloha Package", to celebrate its 50 years in the Aloha state. The Hilton Hawaiian Village was one of the first hotels on Waikiki Beach. A sister resort, Hilton Waikoloa Village, is a one-of-a-kind property on the Big Island, with 65 acres, and a monorail and canal-boats for getting around. Both resorts are offering the Aloha package for stays through December 20, 2011.

Sea to Sky Highway, Skiing, Daffodils
Easter weekend brought some glorious late-spring ski conditions at Whistler-Blackcomb -- and skiing and boarding continue there for another month. At this time of year, the "Sea to Sky Highway" drive from Vancouver is almost as enjoyable as the time on the slopes: beautiful scenery, no winter weather.

Recycling in the Travel Industry
Earth Day, on April 22nd, was a good day for a bit of travel industry "green" talk, about recycling and other efforts at Virgin Airlines, Disney World, Vail Resorts... Fairmont Hotels gets points for creativity, for a rooftop herb garden and apiary (i.e. beekeeping.)
