Maine and Boston Travel: The End of our BFF Girls' Trip
Our lovely time in Maine was quickly drawing to a close. On our last full day, we went to Acadia National Park, where we strolled Sand Beach, watched as the waves wowed crowds at Thunder Hole, and drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain, where we enjoyed beautiful views above the clouds. Later, we drove over to Bar Harbor, where we shopped for trinkets, ate more lobster rolls, and topped it off with ice cream at CJ’s Big Dipper before heading home. The next morning, Simona and I were off once more to Boston, where we stayed at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in Cambridge and ate an amazing Italian dinner at Giacomo’s in Boston’s North End. We ended the day with fresh cannolis from Mike’s Pastry. What an amazing trip.

Conversation, TV Ad, Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism
Shaped over centuries by countless fabled influences, the language of Newfoundland and Labrador is the province's most charming and irresistible quality. A fascinating mosaic of words, phrases and accents make our speech as colourful as the land where it is spoken. There are hundreds of English dialects found here -- more than anywhere else in the world, and enough to merit our very own dictionary. While the art of conversation has long been forgotten elsewhere, it thrives right here. The spontaneity and friendliness of our people means that a simple nod, wink or wave can turn into something truly special -- and, perhaps more importantly, the beginning of a story with no end in sight.

Six Flags Great America is located about an hour north of Chicago in the town of Gurnee, Illinois. It opened in 1976 as Mariott's Great America but is now owned by the Six Flags chain. It's a wonderful park and I recommend everyone to come and visit Six Flags Great America! They have a great collection of rides, roller coasters, and have a water park that is included with admission, Hurricane Harbor!

Marriott era (1974–1984) Edit
Marriott Corporation began construction on the park in 1974 and opened it on May 29, 1976, as Marriott's Great America (a sister park, with almost identical layout and attractions, opened in northern California in Santa Clara the same year). The park was an immediate success due in part to its Americana themes and grand opening during the American Bicentennial. It originally consisted of six themed areas: Carousel Plaza, the first section beyond the main gates; small-town-themed Hometown Square; The Great Midwest Livestock Exposition at County Fair, with its early 20th century rural-fair theme; Yankee Harbor, inspired by a 19th-century New England port; Yukon Territory, resembling a Canadian/Alaskan logging camp; and the French Quarter-modeled Orleans Place. A seventh area, The Great Southwest, was planned but was not built until 1996, when it opened as Southwest Territory.[4]
Each themed area had its own staff costumes, and the design of buildings, shops, and restaurants were also all unique to each theme. For example, the Klondike Cafe in Yukon Territory served beef dishes in large pans like those used for panning for gold.
From the beginning, the park made use of the Looney Tunes characters as costumed figures to interact with the park attendees, a tradition that continues since Time Warner took over maximum ownership of the park in the 1990s.[5]
