Quebec City, Canada

Quebec City's origins date back to 1608 when Samuel de Champlain started a trading post here. In a very short time, the post became a fortified settlement with numerous men and women traveling from France to begin their lives in the New World. Skilled craftsmen plied their trade along the St. Lawrence River and the settlement grew. This region was then known as New France and founded by the French to stake their claim in the New World.

Hawaii Islands, USA

Ah Hawaii. Who can say the name without feeling its fresh tropical breezes and the scent of frangipani in the air? Its beauty is breathtaking and even though tourism to Hawaii is becoming more and more popular, the islands haven't been spoiled by it.  Sleepy villages, mountain ranges, hibiscus covered colonial homes, the bright clean sea and the easy life is still here and the island group is like a handful of jewels in a sparkling sea.

Grand Canyon

The vast majority of geologists and scientists today believe that the Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River over a period of about 4 to 6 million years, in the U.S. state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the Grand Canyon area, visiting on numerous occasions to hunt
 
mountain lions and enjoy the scenery.
