Make the most of your wildlife watching excursions in the United States by choosing destination cities that are near multiple parks and preserves. That way you can have a central hub and only have to make a single lodging reservation. In the continental 48 states, the northwest and the southeast are great picks.
Up north, settle in Seattle where several national parks, forests, and recreation areas are just a few hours in any direction. To the west you'll find Olympic National Park, where you can view cougars, elk, deer, bears and more than 300 species of birds, not to mention

Flight is the preferred mode of corporate travel; that is why so many credit cards offer points for airline miles. Vacationers fly often, as well, because the quicker you can get there and home, the more time you can spend "on vacation".
If you are not in a hurry, however, train travel can be a rewarding way to vacation. While it is slower than flight, traveling by train offers benefits that

River Street In Savannah, Georgia
August 31st, 2010 by Anna P. in Shopping, Summer Vacation, USA

You'll find lots of shopping, dining, lounges, and unparalled views of the river. History buffs, families, art fans, and antique collectors love to shop River Street thanks to their fairly impressive collection of shops and galleries.
