FROM THE WONDERS OF
ORLANDO AND THE
SERENITY OF THE
EVERGLADES, TO THE
SOARING SKYLINE OF NEW
YORK AND THE MAJESTIC
GRAND CANYON, THE USA
HAS SOMETHING FOR
EVERYONE.
The USA has an amazing geographical and cultural diversity and
year-round tropical weather ideally suited to family holidays,
sightseeing excursions, honeymoons or relaxing beach retreats.
From the Grand Canyon in the north to the saguaro forests of the
south, with the red rocks of Sedona in between, ARIZONA’S
spectacular landscapes defy the imagination. Arizona divides,
roughly, into three geological zones: the deserts of the south and
west, the mountainous central highlands, and the northern
Colorado Plateau, named for the river that carved a
magnificent canyon through it. With its many outdoor
playscapes, from desert zoos and mining camps to
state and national parks, its good, clean – well, as
clean as horses can be – Western romps,
cooking programmes, astronomy camps,
historic parks, and more, Arizona is a great
place for kids to bring their parents!
From the vibrant sights of San Fransisco’s
Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square,
and of course the Golden Gate Bridge and Napa
Valley’s vineyards to the bright lights and sounds of
Los Angeles, home to the heart of showbusiness –
Hollywood, you will find it hard to know where to begin in
CALIFORNIA! The 1000-plus miles of coastline is as good a
start as any – you are likely to spot a number of marine animals
ranging from whales, otters, seals and sea lions. Visit the major
theme parks in San Diego like SeaWorld and LEGOLAND or
explore South California’s expanse of perfect sandy beaches like
Pacific Beach, La Jolla and Malibu and the watersports on offer –
you could spend a lifetime doing this!
