Staying inside or outside the Disney's park?

Disney has made it hard to argue for staying outside the park, even though it's way cheaper. Among other perks, Disney hotel guests enjoy extra hours in the parks and complimentary airport transfers via the Magical Express bus. As for where to stay inside Disney, ease is as much a factor as price. We like the Contemporary Resort (the only hotel within walking distance of the Magic Kingdom); Fort Wilderness Resort (the faux-rustic cabins fit six comfortably) and the All-Star Movies Resort (rooms are small but cheap). If Disney's value resorts are booked, the only other options n-site may run $300 a night of more. Outside the park, you'll find tons of hotels at a quarter of that rate - and there are always house rentals. While three-bedroom units go for about $1509 a night, the equivalent inside Disney would easily cost $700.

Canoeing at Ontario, Canada

"Living on the edge" means embracing all the delights and dilemmas of Ontario, Canada. Canoeing, camping, fishing and hunting are my family's passion. We love the wilderness canoe tripping experience and we take it seriously.

In fact, we had our trip last January 17, 2010 at Ontario's best place. Though we experienced plenty of paddling and portaging, the rewards are priceless. It's safe, fun and memorable.

We had all the wonderful activities from canoeing to hunting and it's such a wonderful experience.

The sights of Turin, Italy.

I have been an addict traveler. My route this year is to explore more of Europe. My first stop is at Turin, Italy.

Actually, there is mo shortage of things to see in Turin. The main draw is the museum of Egyptology in Villa Accademia delle Scienze - one of the greatest collections in the world. Within the Academia is also the museum of anti quitie and the Sabuada art gallery. They are located just beside the most exciting and stirring walk in Turin: north from the central station along Via Roma and through Piazza Carlo Felice, Piazza San Carlo (the best of all) and Piazza castello (with the stunning Madama Palace) coming out by the Royal Palace and into its pleasant gardens. The other major museum is along the Po, in a more southern area of fairly modern, showcase buildings, the museum of the motor car; this is, after all, the city of Fiat.

The emblem of the city is the Mole Antonelliana. More peaceful is the views over the Po from Piazza Vittorio Veneto, onto the piazza of Gran Madre di Dio, with, behind it, the Gran Madre church. Up the hills behind is the Cappucins Mount, while further along the river to the right is the Valentino park, with two remarkable fountains. In the park is the French Renaissance style Valentino castle and an oddity, a 19th-century reconstruction of the medieval quarter.

Throughout the city the influence of the House of Savoy, pride in Turin's importance during the Italian unification of the 1860s, and a notable monarchist attitude are evident.
