			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a fan of the arts?  Are you also planning a trip to London, England?  If so, you will be pleased with your options. London is home to many art museums. While all of these museums are worth the stop, there are five in particular that come highly rated and recommended.</p>
<p>1 &#8211; The Tate Modern</p>
<p>The Tate Modern museum is located on Sumner Street. It is a museum that specializes in modern art and it opened in 2000. Before that time, it was a power station in the mid 1900s. It even has a few original works of art on display from that station. With that said, most work found inside the Tate Modern is from the 1900s to present time.</p>
<p>The Tate Modern is also known for its family friendly atmosphere, but do not worry if you are not a parent. Children are occupied and off having fun with special activities that are designed just for them. Exhibits are subject to change, but you can find the work of James Aldridge, Cy Twombly, and Fred Williams, just to name a few.</p>
<p>As for what visitors have to say about the Tate Modern, many loved it, even if they were not fans of modern art. So, if you are a fan of the arts, add this museum on your list of places to visit in London.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; The Hayward Gallery</p>
<p>The Hayward Gallery is located on Belvedere Drive and opened in 1968. According to travel guides, a look at the building may have you turning away, but remember it is not how the museum looks, but rather what its contents inside are.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, you will find one of the largest temporary art exhibits in all of London. Additional onsite activities include workshops, lectures, and guided tours. Since it is known for its temporary exhibits, on hand work is subject to change. You may, however, see the work of Jeppe Hein, Mike Nelson, and Rachel Whiteread, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Aside from the less than attractive appearance of the Hayward Gallery&#8217;s exterior, guests were hard-pressed to find anything negative to say. All loved the atmosphere inside, as well as the works on display.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; The Royal Academy of the Arts</p>
<p>The Royal Academy of Arts is located at the Burlington House. This museum has a rich history behind it, as it was founded in 1768. Well known for its impressionist art and beautiful sculptures, this museum is considered a must visit.</p>
<p>Just one of the many exhibits you will find inside include a retrospective of Monet&#8217;s work. In fact, this has attracted so many victors that it is known as the &#8220;most successful impressionist exhibit&#8221; in the entire world!</p>
<p>As for what guests have to say about the Royal Academy of Arts, they enjoyed the fine artwork on display. Many also enjoyed the special Friday night events scheduled on occasion.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; The Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery</p>
<p>The Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery is located in the Somerset House, which is one of London&#8217;s most beautiful buildings. It is a private gallery that comes highly rated and recommend by art lovers of all ages. Speaking of which, visitors under the age of 18 gain free admission into the museum.</p>
<p>As for what you will find inside the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, there are paintings from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries on hand, as well as drawings, sculptures, and other decorative arts. Here, you will find the work of Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, and much more here.</p>
<p>As for what visitors have to say about the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, everyone loved the large selection of artwork on display. It satisfies all art enthusiasts, regardless of their taste.</p>
<p>The four above mentioned London art museums come highly rated and recommended by tourists just like you. As enthusiastic as you may be about art, remember there are many more attractions in London worth the stop, including historical landmarks, such as the London Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re wondering what the top US train trips has to offer, here&#8217;s a chance to know what sights and wonders await you.</p>
<p>West Virginia</p>
<p>It may not be the most cosmopolitan state in the country, but that signifies little when you&#8217;re neck-deep in a thrilling murder or bluegrass music mystery while enjoying a 5-hour train ride to Bald Knob, the 2nd highest point in West Virginia.</p>
<p>Taking the Cass Scenic Railroad also allows you a glimpse of a well-preserved lumber town. Guests will only have to pay $15.</p>
<p>Idaho</p>
<p>Evergreen forests, lovely mountain meadows, bush-covered hills, and awe-inspiring narrow canyons are just some of the sights you&#8217;ll be treated to when you take a train trip through the Thunder Mountain line. The train trip originates from Horseshoe bend and goes through different routes of Idaho to give you the best views of the state. During your journey, you may also be treated to glimpses of Idaho wildlife such as blue herons, elk, foxes, deer, and, if you&#8217;re lucky, bald eagles as well.</p>
<p>Amtrak Scenic Train Ride</p>
<p>This famous company offers you a chance to enjoy the finest sights of the country. Your journey starts off from Chicago and goes on all the way to San Francisco. The Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains are just some of the famous sights you&#8217;ll glimpse along the way. As your train trip progresses, you&#8217;ll also be treated to picture-perfect scenes of the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean, mystical-looking ever green forests, and snowcapped mountains.</p>
<p>Fall Colors on the Mississippi</p>
<p>A famous travel company gives guests twelve wonderful days to enjoy the fall colors of the Mississippi. Your exciting journey will commence with a two-night stay at the spectacular Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. Afterwards, you&#8217;ll board The Steamboat Express, a vintage steam train, and head off to St. Louis. From there, you&#8217;ll board a cruise ship and travel all the way to St. Paul or Minneapolis. </p>
<p>If you are not from Chicago, the company will be more than ready to provide complimentary train travel arrangement to get you to the city. Discounted flights are also available for those living closer to Chicago. </p>
<p>Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad</p>
<p>Authentic 40&#8242;s to 50&#8242;s climate-controlled coaches are used to get passengers to travel the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in comfort. In your journey, you&#8217;ll enjoy the historical sights of Ohio and Erie Canalway as well as the wonderful landscapes of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Other points of interest that your train trip may include are the Canal Visitor Center, Akron Zoo, Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, Hale Farm and Village, and Village of Peninsula.</p>
<p>Georgetown Loop Railroad</p>
<p>Those hoping for a quick but delightful train trip will have their wishes fulfilled when they take a train trip using the Georgetown Loop Railroad. The rail is built 640 feet above the ground, possessing a variety of curves, loops, fills, cuts, and trestles as it treks a path through the mountains from Georgetown to Silver Plume. The short tour will give you the opportunity to have the best views of Devil&#8217;s Gate High Bridge and Clear Creek. And if you find yourself with time to spare, you can also take an optional walk through the Lebanon Silver Mine. </p>
<p>For more information about what to expect from the top US train trips, contact your preferred travel agent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A trip to London is not complete without visiting a few of the area&#8217;s historical landmarks, including the London Tower, the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and the Buckingham Palace. With that said, even if the biggest history buffs can use a break from these historical and educational atmospheres. If you are looking for that, you can find it at Madame Tussaud&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Madame Tussaud&#8217;s is a waxworks museum located on Marylebone Road in the Regent&#8217;s Park neighborhood of London. It was opened in 1835. Madame Tussaud&#8217;s was setup by Marie Tussaud, hence the name. This museum has modernized with the times, but it has a great history behind it.</p>
<p>Aside from creating the museum, she is most well-known for her own personal wax sculptures. Slated for execution during the French Revolution, it was Tussaud&#8217;s talent that kept her alive. Her life was spared and she began making death masks of those executed. Although she was unlikely to predict it at the time, her museum has since become one of London&#8217;s most well-known attractions. In fact, other branches have popped up around the world, including in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>The wax sculptures at Madame Tussaud&#8217;s are classified into main categories. These categories include the Best of British, Bollywood Stars, Cultural Figures, Fashion, Hollywood Stars, Royalty, World Leaders, Musicians, Sports Stars, and TV Stars.</p>
<p>In the TV Stars category, you fill find persons that include Simon Cowell and the Cast from Big Brother 9.</p>
<p>In the World Leaders category, you will find persons that include Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin, Ronald Reagan, JFK, Nelson Mandela, and Pope Benedict XVI.</p>
<p>In the Cultural Figures section, you will find a wax sculpture of Madame Tussaud herself. Others featured include Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein.</p>
<p>In the Best of British section, you will find those that include Diana, Price Harry, Price William, Price Charles, and The Queen.</p>
<p>In the Famous Musicians category, you will find Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake, and Elvis Presley.</p>
<p>As for what visitors have to say about Madame Tussaud&#8217;s, many were pleased with the wax figures. Parents enjoyed the combination of celebrity figures and historical figures. The only complaints were the wait times and the crowd. After all, this is one of London&#8217;s most popular attractions.</p>
<p>A visit to the Madame Tussaud&#8217;s is ideal for individuals of all ages; however, parents are urged to use caution. Wax sculptures are a work of art, but a mysterious work of art. Young children may be fearful of the life-like displays. However, remember that some of their favorite stars and icons may be featured as well.</p>
<p>If you are interested in a visit to Madame Tussaud&#8217;s, you have multiple methods of booking. A Fast Track ticket enables you to arrive at your reserved time. Flexi tickets are ideal for travelers, as they have the freedom to visit the museum within a seven-day period. On The Day Tickets are available either for those who arrive at the museum by chance or on a whim. For the ultimate experience, including the ability to bypass all lines, a VIP ticket is available.</p>
<p>In conclusion, a visit Madame Tussaud&#8217;s can please everyone in your traveling party. To bypass the crowds, start your day early. With multiple booking options to choose form, you essentially have the ability to determine your own wait time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you finalizing your travel plans for your trip to London, England?  If so, you may soon start researching area attractions online. This is when you are likely to come across guided London tours. Guided tours of London are popular, but are they best choice for you?</p>
<p>The greatest benefit of opting for a guided tour of London is the history and knowledge you receive. Professional tour companies do more than just drive you around the city. They pair you with an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. That guide is familiar with the history of London, England, as well as each attraction you visit. Many are content on simply just viewing these famous landmarks, such as the Tower Bridge, but you may want more. Instead of just reading unique facts and the history of area landmarks, hear it from a real person.</p>
<p>Another benefit to opting for a guided tour of London, England is the ease of planning. In addition to making your travel arrangements, researching activities and attractions is also a part of planning a great vacation. Unfortunately, you may not have the time to do so. There are hundreds of noteworthy landmarks in London. Since you do not have time to visit them all, avoid the dreaded task of researching and comparing your options. Instead, let a professional tour company choose the stops for you. Not only does this simplify the planning of your trip, but it also ensures you get to see the most popular attractions in London.</p>
<p>Another benefit to opting for a guided tour of London is your options. Tours come in a number of different formats. They are offered at many individual attractions, where a volunteer or employee you guide you along the way. Private third-party companies also offer guided tours of London. These companies have different themes, as well as methods of travel. For example, you can travel all around London on a double-decker tour bus or you opt for a smaller group trip in a van to a visit to a well-known attraction, such as the Stonehenge.</p>
<p>While there are a number of pros to opting for a guided tour of London, these tours do have their downsides as well. One of those downsides is the privacy. As previously stated, double-decker tours of London are popular, but you could be one of fifty onboard. If you are looking for privacy, opt for tour companies that offer private tours. These tours may be costly, but they are well worth the cost, especially for those on romantic getaways and honeymoons.</p>
<p>Another downside to opting for a guided tour of London in the cost. You are paying someone to you around the city. Yes, it is nice having a knowledgeable tour guide to educate you on each attraction, but there are cheaper alternatives. There are many tours of London available, so be sure to compare your options. Look for quality tours, such as tours where you see the most landmarks, but with the best prices. Also look for guided tours where your admission fees are included in the cost of your tour.</p>
<p>As shown above, guided tours of London, England are nice, but they do have their pros and cons. As for whether you should book a guided tour, it all depends on your own personal preferences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you planning a trip to London, England?  If so, you will find no shortage of activities and attractions. In fact, there is so much for you to do and see that you may be unsure where to go. One of the many stops you will want to make is to the historical landmark known as the Tower of London.</p>
<p>The Tower of London is located on Tower Hill. Not to be confused due to their similar names, this is not the London Tower Bridge, but a completely separate landmark well worth the visit. The Tower of London is also known as just the Tower and Her Majesty&#8217;s Royal Palace and Fortress.</p>
<p>The various names of the London Tower will bring you to its doorsteps. After all, who doesn&#8217;t want to visit a landmark that is known as a palace and a fortress?  Not only that, but if you want to know more about the history of London and the impact it had on today&#8217;s society, a visit to this landmark is a must.</p>
<p>Once you step inside the Tower of London, you will be amazed with what you see. Yeoman Warder Tours come highly rated and recommended. The Tower is also home to a medieval palace, a fortress, the crown jewels, the prisoners exhibition, and much more. A visit to this landmark is ideal for individuals of all ages.</p>
<p>As previously stated, you will be able to view the crown jewels while on a visit to The Tower. These jewels are a symbol of monarchy in Britain. They are located in the Jewel House. You will see their historical importance and value when you examine them under armed guard.</p>
<p>An important part of the Tower of London&#8217;s history is that of the housing of prisoners. Traitors, which included those of royalty, were housed here against their will. You can learn about their real life experiences through interactive displays. A visit to the prisoners exhibition is included in the cost of your admission.</p>
<p>The Tower of London is owned by The Queen, but managed by the Historic Royal Palaces. This is an independent, non-profit organization. They are not only in charge of looking after the Tower of London, but also the Banqueting House, Hampton Court Palace, and the Kew Palace. On their official website, they state their goal is to educate visitors on the monarchs of England and their pact on today&#8217;s society.</p>
<p>Another one of the many reasons why a visit to the Tower of London is recommended is because it is perfect for individuals of all ages. If a parent traveling with children, you will find a wide range of activities available to them. These activities include participating in interactive displays at the above mentioned prisoners exhibition, playing spot the raven, and so much more. In fact, family trail tour brochures are available free of charge.</p>
<p>Hours of operation and admission prices for the Tower of London are subject to vary. For that reason, verify this information ahead of time. You do, however, have the option of purchasing tickets online.</p>
<p>As a recap, the Tower of London is an attraction perfect for individuals of all ages. It is here that you familiarize yourself with the British monarchy, as well as see the impact it had on the past and present times.</p>

<p>My Old Kentucky Dinner Train</p>
<p>If the Newport&#8217;s blend of old-fashioned glitz and modern glamour is not to your liking then maybe you&#8217;re harkening for a simpler but equally rich experience such as what Bardstown&#8217;s My Old Kentucky Dinner Train ahs to offer.</p>

<p>Both lunch and dinner menus include a choice among several hot and cold beverages, desserts, hot baked rolls, and the company&#8217;s signature Golden Spike salad.</p>
<p>Eggplant parmesan is in the offing for vegetarians while kids may choose from slow roasted prime rib and chicken tenders.</p>

<p>Enjoy the spectacular views of Northern California while indulging your palates with an excellent fine dining experience enhanced by sparkling stemware, polished silver, fine china, and ivory linens.

<p>Evening dinners start off with hors d&#8217; oeuvres, tossed green lettuce salad, and cream of chicken noodle soup.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to great plains, grand mountains, sweeping vistas, and a varied selection of things to see, you can take a memorable scenic train trip through the continental United States and have a great time by simply just taking a seat and kicking back. There are train tours that constantly operate during the year, and they will last anywhere from seven to ten days. These train tours also have featured stops at popular tourist destinations, overnight stays at hotels and resorts, visits to national parks and historic sites, and other amenities that you will enjoy. So all you need to do is book the tour, relax, and get packing!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not ready to spend over a week on the road, you can still get short train rides that will allow you to comfortably board your train and sleep in it over a few days. This means that you don&#8217;t need to spend a lot on hotel fees or worry about what to eat &#8211; and all you need to do is to look for these short trips and plan your own walking tours when you reach your destination.</p>
<p>There are many different scenic train trips that you can take. For instance, you can take the California Zephyr, offered by railway giant Amtrak. This popular trip takes a two day, two night scenic route from Chicago, Illinois to San Francisco, California. While on board the Zephyr, you can view the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas, pass through scenic plains, view deep canyons, and go through waterways. Another top tour is the Southwest Chief, also by Amtrak, which goes from Chicago to the United States&#8217; West Coast. This tour goes through eight states, and goes through a variety of scenery, from mountains to plains, fields to deserts. </p>
<p>Love the colors of the Fall? There&#8217;s nothing like Autumn in New England and Canada, and you can take foliage tours during the fall months across several states, and across the border. You can go through historic Massachusetts, scenic Connecticut, sea-swept Maine, picturesque New Hampshire, and beautiful Vermont. If you&#8217;re more for the bluegrass and the Blue Ridge Mountains, you can take scheduled tours through the Deep South and go through Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, and adjoining states. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re after lakes and the plains and fields of the Midwest, then take scheduled train tours through Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and nearby states. And if you want to view scenic, historic canyons, take Canyon railways and ride the sky tram as you go through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Even the Grand Canyon has its own planned out scenic routes. In the mood for some snow? Then ride the Polar Express through Alaska. And if you&#8217;re up for a brush with the fine, good life, then take a scenic route through Napa Valley, which will allow you to stop at wineries, and even sample wines with your food on the train!</p>
<p>These are only a few options for scenic train trips through the U.S. Thanks to the hand of Mother Nature, the U.S. is gifted with a lot of scenery and landscapes that will allow you to relax and enjoy your ride without worrying if you will have time to see anything. So do your research, plan out a great scenic route, and you will soon find yourself enjoying your train ride!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you an American searching for the perfect family vacation destination?  If you are, you may be looking local. As great as the United States is, why not think international. In fact, did you know that London, England is a great destination for a family trip?  It is.</p>
<p>If you are interested in traveling to London with your family, there is one step you must first take. That step involves acquiring passports for all members of your family. Americans need passports to travel overseas. There is nothing worse than planning a trip only to later realize that you can&#8217;t go. So order your passports the moment you decide to travel abroad. They can take up to two months to arrive at your doorstep.</p>
<p>Once your family has valid passports or at least ordered them, you can start to plan your London family vacation. The next step involves your airline reservations. Due to its location overseas, a trip to London can be long, especially for small children. You may find the best luck with an overnight flight. This allows you and your family to catch some much needed rest. Most importantly, your children are easy to occupy when they are sleeping!</p>
<p>In keeping with your airline reservations, consider your departure location. If you are departing from the East Coast, a direct flight should be available. If departing from the Midwest or the West Coast, look for flights with few and short layovers. The less time your children have to spend waiting in an airport, the more pleasurable your trip will be.</p>
<p>In addition to your airline reservations, you will need to reserve a place to stay. London hotels are known for their beautiful works of architecture. Some appear as if they are a castle. While your children may find this interesting, it is important to examine hotel and room amenities. Even if your family intends to spend most of your time outdoors, a quality hotel is important. Hotels with family rooms, game rooms, and swimming pools are popular among children, possibly just like yours.</p>
<p>Aside from making your needed travel arrangements, the next most important part of planning a family vacation is fun. The last thing you want is to have children who are bored and complaining the whole trip. For that reason, choose your activities and attractions wisely. When doing so, the internet is a valuable research tool.</p>
<p>There is so much for your family to do and see in London. The good news is that many landmarks combine fun and education into one. For example, at the Tower of London, your children can view the crown jewels that are guarded with armed men, watch short skits, and take part in interactive displays. In this area, you are advised against judging a book by its cover, as you never know what awaits you inside.</p>
<p>In the days leading up to your family&#8217;s vacation to London, England, you should start packing for the trip. Check the weather forecast first to ensure you pack properly. Bring along all important documents, including passports, other forms of identification, and all health insurance documents.</p>
<p>Aside from packing for your trip to London, you also need to pack for the plane. Parents are encouraged to fill their carry-on bag with fun activities for the plane ride. Portable DVD players and music players with headphones are hits with teenagers. Books, magazines, and small toys can work to keep your children occupied as well. Remember, if possible, book an overnight flight, as you will find it much easier.</p>
<p>And, the final stage of planning an overseas family trip to London is that of having fun. This tip is for you, not your children. It is not uncommon for parents to spend so much time pleasing their children that they forget to enjoy themselves. In London, this shouldn&#8217;t be a problem, as many attractions are ideal for individuals of all ages. So, enjoy yourself!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you and your partner planning a private, romantic getaway to London?  If so, will this be your first trip there or even your first trip overseas?  If it is, please continue reading on for a few helpful planning tips. These tips, when properly implemented, can help you have the romantic vacation that dreams are made from.</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Have a Valid Passport</p>
<p>The quickest way to ruin a romantic getaway is to not have the documents needed to travel. When traveling to England from the United States, passports are required. The second you decide to travel overseas, is the moment you should to order your passports. Unless you want to pay a high express fee, allow up to two months for delivery. If you already have a passport, double-check its expiration date.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Pick Your Hotel Wisely</p>
<p>Even if you are traveling to London on a budget, it is important to wisely pick your hotel. After all, romantic getaways are best when the night concludes in a hotel, so make it worth your while. Choose a London hotel that has nothing but five start ratings. In the end, it will be more than worth the costs.</p>
<p>When choosing a London hotel for your next romantic getaway, examine room and hotel amenities. First, make sure you have everything you need and more in your room. A private balcony, limousine service, mini-bar, and in-room safe, can help you relax and enjoy your trip and the romance that goes along with it.</p>
<p>Speaking of five star ratings, you may be surprised how many top rated hotels there are in London. The Sofitel London St. James, the Milestone Hotel, the Charing Cross, and Millennium Baily&#8217;s Hotel, all come highly rated and recommended. Romance is nice, but if you would prefer affordability and familiarity, London is also home to multiple Marriott, Holliday Inn, and Hilton hotels.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; Book Your Flight Early</p>
<p>When traveling to London from the United States, you will have a long flight. To reduce layovers and wasted time, search for flights with little or no layovers. To do this, you must book your reservations well in advance of your trip. Short layovers and overnight flights are popular among travelers, so these types of flights tend to fill quickly. In addition to getting the best flight, early booking also gives you more time to find the best deals.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; Research Romantic Activities and Attractions</p>
<p>In London, England, you will find so much to do and see. In fact, that is why it is one of the world&#8217;s most popular vacation destinations. Although you could easily explore London spontaneously, there are benefits to preplanning this portion of your trip. One of those benefits is opportunity. If you don&#8217;t know what is available to you, in terms of attractions and activities, you may miss out on something amazing.</p>
<p>When further researching London attractions and activities, you will find that the London Eye, London Eye River Cruise, Queens Gallery, London Central Mosque, and St. Paul&#8217;s Cathedral all come highly rated and recommended. In addition to attractions with beautiful views and romantic environments, sneak in a few that are fun, such as a visit to the London Dudgeon or Madame Tussaud&#8217;s celebrity wax museum.</p>
<p>5 &#8211; Sit Back and Relax</p>
<p>Once you have booked your travel arrangements and familiarized yourself with a few of London&#8217;s many attractions and activities, you can sit back and relax. Aside from packing for your trip, there is nothing left to do your on part, except let the excitement build.</p>
<p>As an important side note, are you traveling to London with your romantic partner?  If you are not legally married, but wish to be in the future, consider a destination wedding. Nothing is more romantic than an overseas wedding and London is the perfect place for it to happen. Just a few simple steps on your part and your union will not only be memorable, but legal.</p>
