"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

New York City, New York
You'll never run out of things to do in the city that never sleeps, from the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square to the city's world-renowned museums, shopping, and vast culinary choices. It's an incredibly diverse and active place, consisting of an intricate patchwork of neighborhoods, each with its own character and history, yet seamlessly coexisting.

Newport, Rhode Island, USA
A thriving seaport in colonial days, then a summer playground for wealthy 19th-century families, Newport, Rhode Island, lies on the north-east coast of the United States, just south of Boston and north of New York City.

Boston, Massachusetts
Hailed as the Cradle of American Independence, Boston has been described as the "Athens of America." Today this city of 600,000 retains its spirit, combining historic districts with revitalized urban centers all the while remaining faithful to its venerable roots.

Bar Harbor, Maine
On the east side of Maine's Mt. Desert Island and surrounded by Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor is a beautiful coastal port, and it is said to be one of the most beautiful spots in North America.

Saint John, New Brunswick
Canada's oldest settlement is the gateway to the scenic wonders of New Brunswick, which remains remarkably unspoiled with 85 percent of the province still unsettled with vast expanses of forests, hills, streams, and a spectacular coastline dotted by historic and charming towns

Halifax, Nova Scotia
Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia, has considerable charms. The beautifully restored waterfront buildings recall the city's centuries-old maritime heritage. Halifax is also the gateway to Nova Scotia's picturesque landscapes and rugged natural beauty.
Sydney, Nova Scotia
Sydney on Cape Breton Island was originally founded in 1785 by fleeing British Loyalists. They established a coal- and steel-producing community in Sydney that attracted a myriad of ethnic backgrounds. Today Sydney still exports coal and is a perfect jumping point for the scenic attractions of Cape Breton Island.
Québec City, Québec
To visit Québec is to experience France without crossing the Atlantic. The architecture, ambiance and mostly French-speaking citizenry are proof that some of France has been permanently ingrained in North America. In addition to its European flair, Québec City is the only remaining walled city north of Mexico.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
