			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024.jpg"><img src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1044" /></a></p>
<p>If you love waterfalls and the beautiful scenery that surrounds them, here are some waterfalls that you are not going to want to miss when planning your summer vacation. After all, now is the time to begin planning your trip&#8211;why not settle on one of these breathtaking locations?</p>
<p>First, there is always Niagara Falls, one of the most powerful waterfalls in the United States. It borders both New York and Canada, so you could plan a trip to either border. Summer crowds can overwhelm, so visit during the shoulder seasons instead. You can&#8217;t go wrong in May, June, and September.</p>
<p>Next, check out Hanakapi&#8217;ai Falls in Kauai, Hawaii. If a tropical locale is what you enjoy, this is the haven for you. This thin veil of water plunges 300 feet from volcanic-rock cliffs cloaked in tropical rain forest. Avoid hiking the trail to the waterfall in August, when temperatures can climb into the 90s. </p>
<p>If you want something more stateside, check out Yosemite Falls in California. This three-tiered fall stretches 2,425 feet from top to bottom. The waterfall itself is gorgeous, but it is the surroundings &#8212; granite cliffs and Giant Sequoia trees &#8212; that make it one of the most striking sights in the country. </p>
<p>Want something a little more foreign? Visit Sutherland Falls in New Zealand. Its water drops 1,904 feet and shifts to the right at one point and then back to the left at another, forming three distinct sections. The best way to see the trio is by hiking a three-mile portion of the Milford Track, one of New Zealand&#8217;s most popular trails.</p>
<p>Check out one of these amazing natural wonders, and spend a week relaxing in nature this summer. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The best honeymoon spot is different for every couple.There are a few things that you should consider when finding the best honeymoon spot.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>best honeymoon spot</strong> is going to be different for every couple. There are three things each couple should consider when planning where to travel for a honeymoon:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>When</strong> the wedding date is and when you can steal away</li>
<li>How much <strong>time</strong> you have</li>
<li>How much <strong>money</strong> you can spend on your honeymoon</li>
</ul>
<p>There are three main categories for honeymoon getaways:</p>
<p>1-      <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Classic</span>- This is traditional image of a honeymoon getaway. The sun, the sand, the beach… and the two of you. This would include trips to places like Hawaii, California, Mexico, Bali, Florida, and the Caribbean.</p>
<p>2-      <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tucked Away</span>- This is for couples who want seclusion from the rest of the world. Often these escapes are tucked in the wilderness in a cabin or a bed and breakfast. For this type of honeymoon you can stay pretty close to home or venture away. Just find a charming little town and a nice place to stay.</p>
<p>3-      <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sight Seeing</span>- This is for couples who don’t want to miss out on the action. They want to have an adventure honeymoon. Ideas for this include a European tour, China, or any other place that attracts lots of tourists.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[For those who are IN LOVE with this series, whether it is the books and/or movies, here are the places to visit to complete an absolutely thorough Twilight tour.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">New Moon, the second movie of the Twilight saga, is coming to theaters on November 20th.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-205" title="New Moon" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/new-moon2-227x300.jpg" alt="New Moon" width="227" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For those who are IN LOVE with this series, whether it is the books and/or movies, here are the places to visit to complete an absolutely thorough Twilight tour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-195"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Forks, Washington</strong><br />
Forks is the must see for any twilight fan. Forks is where Edward and Bella met for the first time and the scene for their love story to begin. As any fan would know, Washington is always cloudy making it the perfect spot for a clan of vampires.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The town of Forks, has embraced the fame that Twilight has brought upon them. They offer city tours complete with different locations in the books, including Bella’s house. There are several stores throughout the town that offer twilight apparel and other items. A few local inns, have even designed Twilight-themed rooms.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_203" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-203" title="Forks, Washington" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/forest_Full-300x240.jpg" alt="Forks, Washington" width="300" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Forks, Washington</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Port Angeles, Washington</strong><strong><br />
</strong>Port Angeles was a resort town even before Twilight added to its fame. The City of Port Angeles is loving the extra recognition.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There are several tours that show visitors to the Twilight landmarks around town that are talked about in the books, including Odyssey Books and Bella Italia. Bella Italia is the restaurant where Bella and Edward had their first date after Edward rescued Bella from some shady characters. Guests who dine at Bella Italia can even order a dish called, &#8220;Bella&#8217;s mushroom ravioli,&#8221; and eat the same dish Bella did on her date. There is no Edward dish, as a vampire of course don&#8217;t enjoy eating at restaurants.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_199" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-199" title="Port Angeles" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/portangelesrealestate-300x225.jpg" alt="Port Angeles" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Port Angeles</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Portland, Oregon</strong><strong><br />
</strong>Portland was used solely for filming the first movie Twilight. There is no part in the books that take place here. If you go here, you may recognize some places from the movie.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Vancouver, Canada</strong><br />
Much of New Moon&#8217;s filming was done in Vancouver. On location tours will take fans to not only the spots where scenes were shot, and also to many of the favorite hangouts of the cast and crew.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The 6-hour tours cost $119 for kids and $149 for adults- this is not a tour for only wannabe fans, you have to be a real fan to fork out that much dough and spend six hours of your life trekking to the different places where the movie was filmed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_204" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-204" title="Vancouver, Canada" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Vancouver_Aerial_2-300x300.jpg" alt="Vancouver, Canada" width="300" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Vancouver, Canada</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hoh Rainforest, Washington </strong><strong><br />
</strong>Several scenes in the Twilight saga take place in the Hoh rainforest in Washington. This rainforest is one of the few temperate rainforests in the United States and one of the largest in the world. It&#8217;s densely populated with huge moss-covered trees, many of which are thousands of years old.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_198" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-198" title="Hoh Rainforest" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/800px-Forks_WA_Hoh_National_Forest_Trail-300x199.jpg" alt="Hoh Rainforest" width="300" height="199" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hoh Rainforest</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Quileute Reservation, Washington</strong><br />
The Quileute tribe of Native Americans have lived on the land that is now Washington state for thousands of years. Members of the tribe really do reside on the reservation and control the town and beach of La Push and its harbor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Twilight&#8217;s beach scenes take place at first Beach in La Push, including the one in which Jacob tells Bella about the ancient vampires. The reservation offers beach front cabins and also runs a Twilight tour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_202" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-202" title="Quileute Reservation, Washington" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/reservation-300x224.jpg" alt="Quileute Reservation, Washington" width="300" height="224" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Quileute Reservation, Washington</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Syracuse, Utah</strong><br />
Syracuse has absolutely nothing to do with the Twilight books or movies, but it does have two corn mazes that depict the main love interests of the series, Edward and Jacob.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_200" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-200" title="Twilight Corn Maze" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/twilight-corn-575a091109-300x162.jpg" alt="Twilight Corn Maze" width="300" height="162" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Twilight Corn Maze</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Volterra, Italy</strong><strong><br />
</strong>In the New Moon book, Bella tracks Edward to Volterra, Italy. Although the books might be, this town is not fiction. It is a real town  located in Italy. Volterra is located in the Tuscany region with massive walls that surround the medieval town. Twilight tours are offered.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_201" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-201" title="Volterra, Italy" src="http://www.localtraveltip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/italy-300x225.jpg" alt="Volterra, Italy" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Volterra, Italy</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Montepulciano, Italy</strong><strong><br />
</strong>The movie is not filmed in Volterra, rather in Montepulciano. Go here to see the scenes of the film. There are tours available.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Los Angeles, California</strong><br />
The New Moon premiere is showing on November 16th in Los Angeles. You will be lucky if you get tickets, but you can still go hang out around the theater and see if your favorite character shows up.</p>
