When it comes to vacation people usually think of a Caribbean get-a-way, somewhere hot and sunny, a beautiful beach with a grand view of the ocean, and all the popular places on TV and the all-inclusives.  Why not? The ocean is a truly beautiful, relaxing setting. Perhaps, however, you are looking for something a little different… somewhere no one will think to find you, somewhere no one would expect. From “easy access” places to “middle of no where” here are 8 vacation spots you never thought of.   1.

Downtown has even been designated as the Arts & Entertainment District, where you can find live music, dancing, you name it. This 1730 town is full of history and American memories. Be sure to sign up for a guided tour of downtown or wine tasting!     2. Newfoundland, Canada Kayak with icebergs, take a hike on some 18,000 miles of unspoiled coastline with some 200 walking trails, plus the 22 different species of whales that pass through Newfoundland and Labrador between May and September. Don’t forget to stop at Gros Morne National Park, a place filled with wonderful nature activities like no other!   3. Switzerland by Rail This is something interesting! Switzerland by rail!
