It is within these forbiddingly bare, stark walls that tower up in the Atlanta skyline in the southeastern corner of the United States where you will find some of the finest and most exquisite art collections of both the classic and contemporary periods on exhibition.

Discover Mexico on the Back of a llama

There are several ways of exploring Mexico’s high country - trekking on foot, via four-wheel drive and on horseback to name just a few. But few are as interesting and as exhilarating as Llama trekking! Like their cousin the camel, llamas are hearty, yet reliable beasts of burden, and the back of a llama is a great place to be while exploring the still-virgin wilderness areas of northern New Mexico. The forests near Taos and Santa Fe are best conquered on the back of a llama. Guides will lead you and llama on an exhilarating trip through the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Discovering the Island of Kauai in Hawaii

Hawaii is a string of islands in the Pacific Ocean and Kauai is the northernmost island. It was here that the first European settler, Captain James Cook landed in 1778. Kauai is just twenty minutes away air from Honolulu. It is served by two airports at Lihue and Port Allen. The ancient island has an area of about 550 square miles and most of it is lush rain forest. In fact 80% of Kauai is not even accessible by road.
