A visit to Como is like looking through a manual on the history of architecture. Its ancient walls, the Duomo with its rich Gothic-Renaissance façade, the Broletto, the Castel Baradello, the Romanesque basilicas of Sant'Abbondio and S. Fedele, the myriad of monuments created by the Comacini Masters, and the modern architectural lines, all represent foundations of the urban and tourist fabric, interwoven with unforgettable splendor.
Bremerhaven, a port city on Germany’s North Sea coast, is known for its maritime heritage, bustling harbor, and cultural attractions. Founded in 1827 to serve as a gateway for Bremen’s shipping industry, it has grown into a major center for trade, logistics, and seafaring culture.
The Caribbean's Saba Island is the perfect hideaway! Climb 1,066 hand carved steps to the top of Mount Scenery, or take a roller coaster ride on "The Road", the only road on Saba. Scuba dive, hike, go deep sea fishing, shop for Saba Lace and Saba Spice (an innocent sounding but potent local rum), or relax and enjoy the spectacular views high above the blue Caribbean.

Ogunquit is a beautiful place by the sea. Offering quaint New England flavor of the Village Center, Ogunquit is a bustling holiday haven to visitors from all over the world. Ogunquit today remains a tranquil, small village that continues to offer almost everything to almost everyone as perhaps nowhere else in the country can.
Its countless variety of fine shops, excellent restaurants and lodgings, art galleries and museums, the Playhouse and summer repertory theatres, nearby golf courses and country clubs, fishing, lobstering and sight-seeing cruises, and spectacular views all year round would be difficult to encounter anywhere else. For the past 100 years, this charming seaside village has evolved from a small fishing hamlet with dirt roads and shacks, to a major vacation resort without losing its charm or magnetism. This little "gem" on the rocky coast of Maine should not be missed.
