fire, and the courthouse, where Grace Sherwood’s witch trial is underway.
A few kilometres down the road, Jamestown settlers are carving canoes and revolutionary soldiers are firing cannons at the Yorktown battle site. But despite the anachronistic spectacle, Virginia’s famous living museum is
far from contrived. The entire area
is fascinating, fun and in top-notch condition, thanks to renovations brought on by the 400th birthday of Jamestown in 2007. Spring is the best time to
visit, for gorgeous blooms and mild weather. And when you’ve had enough of the 18th century, there are plenty of modern-day amusements.

MEMBER REVIEW:
“We ate in a different restaurant on Richmond Road every night.”
New orleans, louisiana
As one of the world’s most undeniably fascinating cities, New Orleans has been intriguing people with a mixture of voodoo, jazz, Mardi Gras and gumbo for years. As a melting pot of influence from the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and beyond, New Orleans is a sensory overload you almost have to see to believe.
explore...
You can’t be in New Orleans and
not experience some of the musical delights. Get your air guitar ready for free Wednesday afternoon concerts
in Lafayette Square and when you’ve danced up an appetite, get some free oysters every Friday at Le Bon Temps Roule music club. Get into the real ‘spirit’ of New Orleans with a cemetery tour or ghost tour or just walk around the quirky stores in the French Quarter and talk to some real voodoo masters. Eat on Bourbon Street, just because you can and soak up the sweet sound of that solo saxophone.

Cancun, Mexico
There are opportunities for catching as many archaeological marvels as rays of sunshine, there’s more to this tropical paradise than partying.

If swimming with dolphins in Cancun is on your agenda, The Parque Nizuc has a unique water park where the entrance fee includes a swim with a dolphin. If you want to feed a shark and swim with a dolphin in the same day, don’t miss a stop at the Interactive Aquarium at the La Isla Shopping Mall. The Tres Rios is a great site for horseback riding through the Mexican jungle, and other tours include kayaking, snorkelling, canoeing or biking. For incredible ancient Mayan ruins, hire a car and drive to Tulum,
the only major Mayan ruin on Mexico’s Caribbean coastline.
