I've got to get out to California some day! I hear the sun and sand are phenomenal. Since a couple of my closest buddies reside in the southern area, it certainly would make sense to visit. However, I have to say that I'm really stoked about the Napa Valley wine tours. This is one of the few things in California that I truly want to take advantage of. The funny part of it is that I'm really a beer drinker. My "better half" on the other hand is a wine fanatic. She's been wanting to take a wine tour for many years now, but has never gotten around to it. It's difficult when you live clear across the nation. I guess you could say she has got me stoked about the tour as well. It's funny how relationships work that way.
For all the locals I'm sure Napa Valley wine tours are not so exciting. However, when you reside far from the sunny beach state, something as simple as a wine tour sounds awesome. It basically comes down to how tangible it is for me. Since I don't really have easy access to Napa Valley wine tours, it makes me crave one even more. Maybe it's how they're presented on television and in ads. They make them look so classic, relaxing and informative. I can picture my wife and I kicking back in a fancy B&B, sipping on a couple glasses of fancy merlot, fresh off the vine. Doesn't that sound romantic and serene in a way? I would have to assume that Napa Valley wine tours would be ideal for honeymoons and couple getaways. Picture a place where you could explore old-fashioned vineyards, soak up the California sun, and test some of the finest wines on the planet.
Well, if you've never considered Napa Valley wine tours in the past, I'll be willing to bet cash that you're pondering them now. Once you've heard the benefits, it's a bit difficult to push the notion out of your mind. It's kind of like being brain-washed. Hey, it worked on me. Now I just have to find the equivalent of Napa Valley wine tours, only with beer. Then it will be my turn to dangle the gold watch in front of my wife's eyes. She'll be stoked about that beer tour in no time flat.

Fiji Vacation
Some tropical islands sound too good to be true and Fiji, which is actually made up of over 300 islands, falls into that category. Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, the islands offer a haven, away from the bustling world outside. A Fiji vacation can be used to relax on the beach, go sightseeing or to indulge in adventure sports. The tropical weather brings sunshine for most of the time with some showers which are quickly over. Fiji has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and has eliminated major tropical diseases including malaria. English, Bau Fijian, Hindi and Urdu are the languages spoken. The two main islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
The scenery is wonderful with rainforest, beaches, clear waters and coral reefs. People love to snorkel here, sometimes swimming with manta rays or to scuba dive round the Astrolabe Reef. You can hire jet boats or go rafting over the rapids. Hikers love to explore the forests and caves. The Nadia Area is a favorite haunt of surfers. This region is where the airport is sited and there is a market here, which specializes in hand, crafted souvenirs. There is something for everyone on a Fiji vacation.
The Coral Coast is known for its beautiful lagoons and beaches. This is where the sugar cane is grown. The northern coast is referred to as The Sunshine Coast. It has a dry climate and rugged, mountainous scenery. Pacific Harbor was developed as a tourist attraction for a Fiji vacation and contains an 18-hole championship golf course. Known as the Adventure Capital of Fiji, there is also diving sites nearby and it's a favorite with fishing enthusiasts. You can go on a boat trip down the Navua River and see the waterfalls and villages. Other sporting opportunities here include horseback riding, water skiing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and jet skiing. There are also live shows, shops, restaurants and fire walking displays.
Suva is the capital of the islands and has more urban attractions. There are shops, restaurants and nightclubs. It still has its share of markets to give local flavor and cultural museums. Sightseeing tours can be booked from here. The town gives another insight into a Fiji vacation, with its historical interest and mixture of contemporary and colonial architecture.
The islands are a fascinating blend of traditional culture, history, adventure and modern amenities. There is a wide choice of accommodation to suit different pockets. A Fiji vacation is a plane ride away to friendly islanders and incredibly blue lagoons.
