Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”                 — Miriam Beard

Seeing, visiting and doing things in a particular place is at the heart of most travel.  Touring a national park, spending a day in a museum, ziplining through a rainforest, tasting craft beers, shopping at fine boutiques or sunning at the beach are just a few of the things travelers can do just about anywhere.   Whether as a solo traveler or with a group, everyone wants to experience something that they can remember for a lifetime.
