Washington D.C. Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Take in the many splendors of the nation’s capital when you arrive at Washington, D.C.
Your Washington, D.C. tour should start at the National Mall, where you’ll find monuments, memorials, and government buildings instead of tons of shopping. If you’d like to get around town easily but don’t want to rent a car, the Capital Bikeshare program will let you cruise around the city without wasting gas or getting stuck in traffic.
Check out the Watergate Hotel and Kennedy Center when you stop at Foggy Bottom, then move on to Georgetown, the oldest district in D.C. It’s filled with 18th-century buildings and, of course, the university itself. After a stop at the National Cathedral, make your way to the Smithsonian National Zoo, the perfect stop for the young and the young at heart.
If you’re feeling the need to channel your inner 007, go to the International Spy Museum, and learn about the covert operations and intelligence agencies that have shaped the world we live in. Of course, you can’t enjoy any Washington, D.C., tourism without admiring the White House, so make sure that’s on your list too.

Milwaukee, USA: In Motion!
We spent five days in Milwaukee in May 2016, and were completely (and very pleasantly) surprised by how cool Milwaukee is!
If we had to come up with one word to describe Milwaukee, it'd definitely be entrepreneurial. We met a lot of small business owners who are changing the face of the city, and we also learned about the big Milwaukeean dynasties like Pabst and Miller that built the city in centuries past.
In this video, the locations you see are as follows:
The Milwaukee River and riverfront/riverwalk in downtown -- on weekend evenings, Milwaukeeans jump on their boats and cruise up and down the river. We grabbed a beer at Rock Bottom Brewery and watched it all happen!
A view of downtown Milwaukee as seen from the 6th Street Viaduct. In the bottom left-hand of the shot, you can see the Harley-Davidson Museum, which is a cool thing to do in Milwaukee, even if you don't like motorcycles. We also suggest you stop by the Great Lakes Distillery, for drinks and a tour near the viaduct, and the Iron Horse hotel for food!
The historical-looking building is Milwaukee's City Hall, and the really cool-looking modern building is the Art Gallery.
Around 0:22, you'll see Old World Third Street. It's the historical German area of town, and even today there are many German restaurants and artisan food producers that have been operating in the same spot for more than 100 years! We took a food tour with Milwaukee Food Tours, and learned all about the German influence on Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is synonymous with BEER, and one of the best things to do in Milwaukee is to go on a brewery tour. We went on the Miller tour, which was FREE and included samples. We also went on the Lakefront Brewery Tour - one of the best (and funniest) in the country. The Lakefront tour charges, but is very worthwhile, and includes free samples, a free gift, and some hilarious memories!
Other locations include:
The Bronz Fonz
The Harley-Davidson Museum
Milwaukee Public Market
Bayview Neighborhood
The Pabst Mansion
Walkers Point
The hotel at the end is the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, where we were hosted. The hotel is quite new, and was built for visitors to the city, and visitors to the casino. It's really well located for visiting the Harley Museum...only a short walk away.
Thanks to Visit Milwaukee for hosting us during our time in Milwaukee. We had a tonne of fun.

Driving Downtown[04/20/2019] - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
#Milwaukeedowntown #Wisconsin #Downtown #Fiservforum
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. The seat of the eponymous county, it is on Lake Michigan's western shore. Ranked by its estimated 2014 population, Milwaukee was the 31st largest city in the United States. The city's estimated population in 2017 was 595,351. Milwaukee is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee metropolitan areawhich had a population of 2,043,904 in the 2014 census estimate. It is the second-most densely populated metropolitan area in the Midwest, surpassed only by Chicago. Milwaukee is considered a Gamma global cityas categorized by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network with a regional GDPof over $105 billion.
The first Europeans to pass through the area were French Catholic Jesuit missionaries, who were ministering to Native Americans, and fur traders. In 1818, the French Canadianexplorer Solomon Juneau settled in the area, and in 1846, Juneau's town combined with two neighboring towns to incorporate as the city of Milwaukee. Large numbers of Germanimmigrants arrived during the late 1840s, after the German revolutions, with Poles and other eastern European immigrants arriving in the following decades. Milwaukee is known for its brewing traditions, begun with the German immigrants.
Beginning in the early 21st century, the city has been undergoing its largest construction boom since the 1960s. Major new additions to the city in the past two decades include the Milwaukee Riverwalk, the Wisconsin Center, Miller Park, the Milwaukee Streetcar, an expansion to the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and Pier Wisconsin, as well as major renovations to the UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena. The Fiserv Forum opened in late 2018.

5 Things American Tourists Shouldn't Wear in Europe
Please Note: Young People Wear Many of These Styles Throughout Europe. These tips are geared toward 35+ year old travelers. Thanks for watching!
Grab a Wolters World Shirt
Heading to Europe & Not Sure What to Pack? Here are a few things that my fellow US travelers may want to avoid packing if they are traveling to Europe.
1. Baseball Caps: Europeans in general do not wear baseball caps, especially backwards. You would be better served to wear a more traditional hat. You will see an occasional NY Yankee hat, but why not buy the fancy hat you always wanted instead?
2. Athletic Wear: Europeans tend to wear athletic wear to do sports, not to wear around town. There is a trend of more athleisurewear in Europe, but it is not to the extent that there is in US.
3. Khakis: the omnipresent US male pant choice is not something you will see too often in Europe. Go for colored pants or jeans. If you want khaki like pants wear Chinos instead of Dockers. The pants you will see are a thinner cut or skinnier fit than in the US.
4. Oversized US University Sweatshirts.
5. Sport Shoes or High Heals: US sport shoes and white socks are not quite as popular in Europe as they are in the US. You may be better off with Urban Street shoes like Vans instead. Also, women should be careful with high heels as with all the cobblestone it is easy to hurt your ankles.

TBEX North America 2018 Finger Lakes Wine Country, New York State
TBEX North America 2018 will take place in the Finger Lakes Wine Country in New York State, USA - September 11-13th 2018. TBEX is the largest community and gathering of travel bloggers, travel writers, travel influencers and travel content creators in the world. The TBEX conference will take place this year, September 11-13th 2018.
Video transcript:
- - [Narrator] This is Laury Poland, President of Finger Lakes Wine Country Tourism Marketing Association based in Corning, New York. And we are looking forward to hosting TBEX North America 2018, September 11th through 13th. We are a rural area in upstate New York about five hours from New York City. Easy flight, though. But we don't have a traditional event space, and so the Corning Museum of Glass, which houses the largest collection of glass in the world, will be our home for TBEX North America in September. The Corning Museum of Glass is pulling out all the stops to make sure that this educational, enjoyable, and exciting conference will be everything that TBEX participants are looking for. There is so much to do and see in Finger Lakes Wine Country. Corning, being the central location, is really the hub of Finger Lakes Wine Country. If you go a bit east, you're in Tioga County with the Tioga Downs Resort and Casino and some excellent antiquing and beautiful outdoor scenery. A little closer in, about 10 minutes from Corning, is Elmira and the Elmira Corning Regional Airport, probably the easiest way to get into Finger Lakes Wine Country with flights through United, Delta, and Allegiant Air. In Chemung County near where Elmira is located is also referred to as Mark Twain Country. Samuel Clemons, Mark Twain, did all of his writing in Quarry Farm, which was owned by his wife's family. His sister-in-law built him a beautiful octagonal study, which is located on the campus of Elmira College, open to visitors who want to have a piece and a feel for some amazing American literary history. Also, in the Chemung Elmira area, it's the home of soaring. It is the motorless flight capital of America, and our visitors are gonna be able to take glider rides over the Chemung Valley. And in September, if Mother Nature cooperates and the colors start to change, there's no better view anywhere than in a glider high above the Chemung Valley and Finger Lakes Wine Country. Right here in the Corning area we've got historic Market Street. We refer to as the Gaffer District. A gaffer is a glass blower, so of course the name is apropos for the glass history of our region. The photo opportunities just alone on Market Street will be overwhelming. We also have the Rockwell Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate, which lends a great deal of art in the American history, which is especially important to art and the history of America right here in Corning. A little further west is Keuka Lake. You have Hammondsport, the birthplace of aviation with the Glenn Curtiss Museum and all of the transportation innovation that he came up with, from biking, cycling, motorcycles, airplanes, dirigibles. Everything you can think of to get you from one place to another, Glenn Curtiss had something to do with. Up on Keuka Lake, Dr. Constantine Frank came here in 1958 and started the vinifera revolution that created Finger Lakes Wine Country. But today, we now have 140 wineries, dozens of breweries, distilleries, cideries, meateries, creameries, chocolatiers, everything and anything any taste buds would look forward to. A little further north, you'll be visiting on opening night Watkins Glen International, the home of American road racing. This is not an oval track. This has got twists and turns that add to the excitement of professional NASCAR and IMSA road racing, and we, all of us, every single one of us, will go around the track at Watkins Glen International when we celebrate the opening of TBEX North America 2018. In Yates County we have Penn Yan and the northern part of Keuka Lake, a beautiful, beautiful part of the region. And we encourage our visitors to TBEX to either rent a vehicle or if they're able to drive on their own, our region is spread out. Again, it's a rural agritourism region. Our focus is wine. That's our sexy hook. Finger Lakes is our geographic distinction. The wine is what gets attention, and country represents all of the tourism assets in our region that make travel interesting. No matter if you're a solo traveler, female, LGBT, coming as inter-generational, if you're coming for light adventure or rich adventure, history, whatever is your interest in terms of travel, you can find it in Finger Lakes Wine Country.
