Cruise the Las Vegas Strip in a limo

Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

What To Do: Cruise the Las Vegas Strip in a limousine at night.

#1 Reason To Do It: The chauffeured experience.

Why Do It: Oh, what the back of a limo has seen in Las Vegas! Get a few people together, rent a limousine for 2 hours at really reasonable rates (since there are so many of them in Las Vegas) and be chauffeured. No one says that traveling on the Strip is the most efficient way to get from point A to point B, but who cares when someone else is driving you and you have time to spare. The experience on the strip in a limo is a great way to just relax and take in a very unique view. Make sure the limo has a sun roof, so you can get the "upper deck" view from time-to-time. The best experience is at night of course and make sure to bring your favorite beverages!

How To Do It: When in Las Vegas, just look up in the Yellow Pages for limo services. Most will have a minimum time, but 2 hours is great. When you meet the driver explain that you want a "tour' of the strip.

When To Do It: Best when the weather is nice. March - September

Water ski to a deserted beach

How To Do It: Bring a boat, rent a boat, or hire a guide service from Page, Arizona. Make sure to bring enough food, water, sun shelter, and camping gear to last 1 or two nights.

When To Do It: Late Spring or Summer

Tour villages by jeep over Puerto Vallarta

Where: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

What To Do: Take a jeep tour through the mountains and villages that make up the surrounding areas to Puerto Vallarta.

#1 Reason To Do It: The real Mexican experience.

Why Do It: For those of you who are looking to venture outside of the mega resorts into the land and hills, this is the best experience you can have. This tour takes you to the people, the nature, and the history that makes up much of Mexico. You really get a view of daily life in the small cities and villages that lie outside of the tourist areas. Learn why bricks are just as good as a bank account to some families, how some families use thier front yards as a convenience store, or how parrots help keep families fed during the rainy season.

How To Do It: There are a few companies that offer views of the landscape, but only one that takes you up close for such a personal glimpse. Visit http://www.vallartaonline.com/tours/JeepSafari/

When To Do It: Winter and Spring months are best
