For anyone who’s never been to the Grand Canyon, I’m sure that the first image that comes to mind is lots of rocks, barren landscape and bit of river flowing through the bottom.   Everyone imagines the Grand Canyon as being a marvel of nature, with stunning vistas, and a deserved spot amongst the official wonders of the world.  But if your into technology and engineering at all, then there is even more to marvel at when visiting the Grand Canyon.  The Hoover Dam has been an integral part of the Canyon since 1945, but even more recently built is the Grand Canyon sky walk.

A great resource for checkout out different things to do at the Grand Canyon, are Grand Canyon Tours.  While the Hoover Dam may be my far the more technological marvel of the two, I think the Sky Walk with it’s glass floors perched some 800 feet above the canyon floor would be pretty breath taking as well.  I’ve been to the glass floored observation deck on the CN tower in Toronto, and that made me pretty nervous.  While nature purists may balk at intrusion of man made technology into such a beautiful natural environment, I find it a little more interesting.  It’s inevitable that we leave our mark on this planet, and I think the sky walk for one allows for a greater appreciation of the nature around it.  It’s more important to find ways to blend technology and nature in a beneficial partnership, then to exclude one entirely for the preservation of the other.

I’m getting to the age, where I’m easily bored on vacation. I’ve been to so many different places and on so many different excursions that I really need something special to make it worthwhile for me to leave home. Surfing around the other day I think I found it, and in one of the least likely places . . . Russia. They’re are all kinds of cool stuff you can do in Russia, that wasn’t available just a few years ago. You could for example, take some time learning to fly, and actually fly with some help real Russian jet fighters. Now that’s not something you can do in many countries. Just one of the other nice perks to the cold war ending. Personally, I’d love to fly mig jets around, even if it was just for a half hour or so. I realize, that I’d probably just be sitting in the back while the real pilot did all the flying, but that’s OK with me. Just hope I don’t lose my lunch in the process.

Of course for those of you with more tame aspirations for your adventure travel, there is always red square tours Russia to try out. The architecture there is truly fascinating, and your feet never leave the ground. I can think of a few people in my family that would probably enjoy that kind of tourist time a little more.

The town of Agde is justly proud of its 2600 years of ancient history. This ancient city has Greek origins and has always been associated with its maritime trade due to its positioning. Due to its location both on the banks of the Herault River and, more recently, at the end of the Canal du Midi it has always been strategically well-placed for water trade.

Today Agde is no longer a large trading post but rather the gateway to the most popular beach resort in France, Cap d’Agde. The main industry here is tourism and the resort can hold up to 175,000 holiday makers at any one time. Agde itself is seeing an increase in property development as more and more investors look to move into the Languedoc Roussillon. Second home owners in particular are drawn here due to the very convenient travel links. The airports of Beziers and Montpellier are both close and the AP motorway serves Toulouse, Avignon and over the border to Spain. [...]

Entering the grounds at Glin Castle is like traveling back to another time as you make your way along tree lined lawns towards the stark white castle. The castles interior is just as carefully furnished with a traditional feel, without seeming old or worn.
