Newest Review: ... Mount Rainier. I have a picture of us all stood in front of it (apparently) me with my blue legs shivering and just wanting to get back in the car, gutted that we couldn't see it. Enormous amounts of rain and snow fall on the park, particularly on the peak every year, all year round. Incremental weather is a common problem for the 1.3 million tourists who flood to Mount Rainier National Park with the intention of gaping at the remarkable views. Disappointment is common, regardless of the time of year and this is something that potential visitors should bear in mind. I’d advise all tourists to check the weather reports before driving al... more

****Washington State**** Washington State, situated on the West coast of the USA, is the most Northerly American State. The State borders Idaho and Oregon, in addition to Canada (The province of British Columbia) making it an excellent base for exploring the wonders of the Rocky Mountains. Washington State was created in 1889 and named after George Washington, the first American President and is the only State named in such manner. The Capital is Olympia but the biggest and best known City is actually Seattle, a beautiful harbour side city, famous for Frasier and fabulous fish markets, which I highly recommend visiting. The purpose of this review though is ... Read the complete review

The problem with North American Cities is there's no history. Well nothing past a hundred years at any rate. Whilst in Europe a trip into the centre of any city will almost gaurentee historical architecture, museums and sights galore. The most you can expect in North American cities is McDonalds, a shopping mall and if your in L.A., a drive by shooting. Don't get me wrong. I love Canada and I like Edmonton very much but my advice is, if you don't have a car - get one! I was only in Edmonton for a day and a half but got around as much as I could. There are plenty of things to see - no least of which is the Edmonton Mall.....the worlds ... Read the complete review

When I went on our family tour of Eastern Canada we stopped off in a great place called Collingwood. Collngwood is located in Ontario about an hours drive from Toronto and it is situated on one of the great freshwater lakes there. Colllingwood is is a small town (for the very rich) but keep on driving through it and you get to this little resort. We know someone who owned a house there and that is how we got to stay there. But there was a large hotel there where you can stay. In the middle of this resort is a circle of mansions (this is where we stayed) which are all holiday homes specially built for people and the hotel is a minutes walk from there. What ...
