Niagara Falls is a must visit during this lifetime and is one of the world's most unexplored marvels. It's shared by Canada and the United States, but I think when most people dream of going to see the falls, they want to see the Horseshoe Falls… and that's on the Canadian side… the side with what we think is, arguably, the best view.

Half a century ago, it was THE honeymoon destination. Back then it was a romantic spot with cozy cottages with views of the Falls. No longer. It has a bit of a Carnival atmosphere today. High rises have replaced cozy cottages, the town has grown into a major tourist attraction, not just a honeymoon destination…. but none of the changes take away from the Falls themselves.

There are actually three sections to the falls…. Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Collectively or as individual sections, the Niagara Falls are awesome. Stand there at any time of the year and look at Horseshoe Falls, and you can't help but be impressed with the power of nature. From some places on the Canadian side you can see Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls at the same time.

A long time tourist favorite is the Maid of the Mist boat. They'll give you a blue slicker to wear and take you right up to the base of Niagara Falls. That blue slicker should give you a clue… you will get wet.

If you want something more exciting than the Maid of the Mist, how about a fast-paced Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour.

Another traditional option is to take the Journey Behind the Falls. They take you 150 feet down through solid rock by elevator, then you walk through a short tunnel, and you come out on outdoor observation decks…. directly BEHIND the falls. Yes, you'll get wet here too.

Depending on where you go for your facts, you'll read that the top edge of the falls has eroded through the years, and then it depends on who is measuring when and where, but here are some rough figures… Horseshoe Falls is about 170 feet high (52 meters) and 2,500 feet wide (720 meters).

The American Falls section is about 180 feet high (55 meters) and 1,100 feet wide (300 meters). As impressive as they are, this only puts them tenth on the list of world's largest waterfalls, not at the top. Makes you want to find the other nine, eh?

Don't worry about hotels. You'll have quite a selection to choose from both in style and price range. Same goes for restaurants. Many hotels and restaurants have spectacular views of the falls.

Go up in the Skylon Tower. That gets you 775 feet above the falls for a whole different perspective. The Skywheel is one of the newest ways to see the Falls. To get even higher, try Niagara Helicopters for true aerial views.

If you can tear yourself away from the falls, you can play golf or go wine tasting in the area. All kinds of tourist attractions have sprung up near the Falls. There are water parks, horseback riding, and even a Ripley's Believe It or Not. You can see the Bird Kingdom or check out the Butterfly Conservatory.

There are so many tourist attractions, you'll wonder who is looking at the falls. But don't worry, the falls themselves are still the star attraction here, so whether you choose one of the many activities or not…. reserve plenty of time just to soak in the Falls… just remember you'll do that literally if you get too close.

Lots of magazines and TV shows talk about adventure travel these days. What do they mean by that? I mean, almost any time you travel it can be an adventure. But to say it that way…. adventure travel…. that sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it?

People travel for all different reasons. Some people like to go every year to the same place… maybe a beach where they can just sit and relax with no worries. Get away from work. Sort of recharge their souls.

Other people are happier and recharge better when they are active and doing something exciting and new.

And there are real adventurers who like to climb mountains or explore wilderness areas where few others have gone.

I've read that adventurers need that adrenaline rush that comes with risk. Is that what it is? 

Sometimes people say we are real adventure travelers, but I don't necessarily think so. We love to go to new places. Just arriving in a new city without reservations can leave you a little anxious, but that kind of risk doesn't give you an adrenaline rush. A very close encounter with a Mountain Gorilla… now THAT will give you an adrenaline rush!

Adventure can be different things to different people. In the travel business, they usually mean some sort of travel that involves exploration or travel to remote or exotic areas… someplace "new" where not all that many tourists go yet. These adventures will probably get you a little outside of your normal comfort zone.

Travel agents will say that this kind of travel includes some physical activity such as trekking or rafting or cycling. You may be out in a natural setting… even camping some of the time. You may be interacting with other cultures… traveling over remote roads or through jungles. You might even stay with some of the local people.

You don't necessarily need to be camping out or backpacking to have an adventure. You might be staying in very comfortable accommodations, but spend the day trekking looking for jaguars. You might go on a walking safari instead of riding along in a land rover.

So you see, adventure travel probably has you doing more than just sitting on a beach. If you're going to sign up for an adventure tour, you will need to get the tour operator's definition of adventure… Ask questions like how far will you be trekking every day. Will you be camping out? Will you have to carry your own gear? How experienced are the guides in handling problems?

And… What is the "difficulty level"? A hike we took in the Tsingy in Madagascar came as close to rock climbing as I ever want to get… it was hard, but worth the effort. You have to make that decision for yourself on every adventure. So make sure the tour operator's definition fits with your own…. and that you're not getting more adventure than you're counting on.

Don't get all caught up in definitions. If the destination you're looking at seems like an adventure to you…. then it is adventure travel. Go for it.

Now here comes the really juicy bit you've been waiting for…

Affordable Oslo… sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it? Scandinavian countries are expensive. Norway may just top the list, so finding Discount Travel Deals is a must.

So what can you do so you can afford to visit this picturesque and lively capital? For one thing, get outside. The Norwegians love outdoor activities… so join them and wander in Oslo's parks for free.

Use public transportation not taxis. Start by getting the shuttle train in from the airport. You can buy a 24 hour pass for the public transportation system. You should also look into the Oslo Pass.

The Oslo Pass will give you free admission to more than 30 museums and attractions in Oslo as well as free public transportation and ferry rides for the duration of the pass. There are discounts on dining and shopping. It even includes a lunch cruise tour…. how's that for a free lunch! This is an all day tour by bus and boat that shows you the main sights around Oslo and includes a seafood buffet. 

The Oslo Pass is offered in 24, 48 and 72 hour lengths. If you want to see as much as you can in two or three days, this is your ticket to affordable Oslo. You can buy the Oslo Pass online or when you get there. The card is valid from the time you stamp it at your first attraction or ride.

Oslo is a compact city, so it's easy to get around to most sights by walking… and walking is certainly affordable. Wander Karl Johans Gate (Street). Admire the Norwegian Parliament, the University, and the Akerhus Castle. This is a good street to window shop on, but since we're looking for affordable Oslo, this is no place to be buying.

The National Gallery is free. You'll want to go there to see Edvard Munch's "The Scream" and other major works… talk about iconic Norwegian art. The museum is closed on Monday.

Visit the fish market. Laksen Fisk and Vilt. It's a great place to get a cheap lunch. Pick up some smoked salmon, cooked fish or prawns. You can pick up some bread or lefse (Norwegian flat bread… kind of like a tortilla) from a bakery or supermarket. Affordable Oslo on a platter!

If you're looking for a cheap meal in a restaurant, your best bet will be to go ethnic. Indian, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants are cheaper than those offering European fare. If you do want Norwegian fare, look for a restaurant called Dovrehallen. It serves up traditional and cheap Norwegian food… things like stews and boiled or fried fish. It's a bit out of the way, a brisk walk from the Domkirch, but then you'd expect to have to look for a cheap restaurant in Oslo.

The Frogner Park and Vigeland Sculpture Park within it are free. Vigeland Park contains more than 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland, and the park is pretty to walk in. You'll be sharing it with lots of Norwegian families.

For small change by Norwegian standards, you can rent a sled and try the Korketrekkeren - The Cork Screw. The sled rental is about US$10 (60 Kroners) and you can sled down the bobsled run from the 1952 Winter Olympics.

Amble through the Royal Palace Park. Watch the Changing of the King's Guard. It takes place everyday at 1:30 PM. The entire Changing of the Guard takes about 40 minutes.

Walk the waterfront and picnic. In short, do what the Norwegians do to make Oslo affordable! Visit Oslo, but find out whether you are entitled to any of the Discount Travel Deals explained in the Globe Cheap Travel Guide  by visiting www.GlobeCheap.com or just CLICK HERE

Let's say your budget really only allows for you to stay in cheap hotels. Does that mean you should stay home until you can afford more luxurious digs? NO…. At least we don't think so.

We prefer to look at these options as inexpensive… not cheap. Makes it sound a whole lot better doesn't it? If you want to be a frugal traveler, no matter what your budget, these little places can be a great option, and Discount Travel Deals are not far away…

If you plan to be out and about seeing that new country you're visiting, you're not going to be spending all that much time in your room. You just need a nice clean bed to sleep in. Well, you need a little more than that.

So how to you find budget accommodations? You can search the Internet, but while inexpensive hotels may be on the Internet, it could be hard to find their listing. They are more apt to be independent and show up far, far down on a search page. We've found that it's easy to find these little gems when we travel by stopping and checking them out when we need a room.

So what can you expect from cheap hotels? You will probably be staying in an older place. New buildings with a spiffy lobby, an elevator, and a reception desk staffed for 24 hours do not fall into the cheap category.

Look for small family run hotels. They may look a little shabby from the outside, but they could be very nice inside. Don't judge them until you've walked through the door. Look at the room to see if you can live with it for 24 hours or 48 or however long you're going to be there… but remember… you're only sleeping and showering there.

You'll most likely have to climb stairs to your room and carry your own bags, though some places do have very small… and "atmospheric" elevators…. You know, those little old rickety cages… the ones that might even make you want to take the stairs.

Keep in mind that some very cute little places are forced to stick with only one or two stars because they don't have elevators and a reception desk… those are definitely NOT cheap hotels… they are travel BARGAINS.

Bargain hotels may have just a simple bed and the chairs could be mismatched. The light bulbs may be a little dim, the carpets and wallpaper may be dated, and perhaps even faded. You'll probably find a small TV, but you may not have a phone. The closet is apt to be a small, free-standing one, or maybe an old armoire.

Most will have ensuite facilities with showers and toilets in the room. In the U.S., almost all cheap hotels come this way. In Europe and other continents, these facilities may have been fitted into a corner of the room. You do need to check though… because there are still some cheap hotels that have the toilet and shower down the hall. 

This is the minimum you should have to settle for. Sure there are worse almost everywhere in the world…. We've even stayed in some of them in our younger days, but keep in mind, bargains come in all kinds of packages, and you should be able to find a nice cheap hotel that you can live with… at least for a day or two.

To enjoy your cheap discount travel you need to work a little at it. Your attitude and how much you try to connect with that new culture and join in will make all the difference in how memorable your trip is.

You do want to be positive and expect to have a good time… we really believe you get what you're looking for, so you might as well expect to have good things happen and have fun.

On the other hand, don't expect to just float through this trip you've imagined without having to put a little effort into connecting with the local places and people.

Travel isn't always easy. I had a friend who was recovering from a divorce and looking for a new relationship. She said before she ever got serious again, she would have to travel with her new partner because cheap discount travel brings out the worst and the best in you. I thought there was something to that.

Learn to go with the local time tables… not every culture operates at the same pace. Some cultures even have words to slow you down… in Swahili "pole, pole" means slowly, slowly. In a culture where things just don't happen quickly, there is no reason to work yourself up over it. The only way to enjoy your cheap discount travel is to slow down to their pace and observe how it works for them.

Respect the local culture and don't gawk or make fun of it. The right attitude can lead to wonderful experiences. In Kenya one trip, our guide told us we were driving right past his village. We asked if he would like to stop to see his wife and children. We went with him.

They lived in a house that was humble by western standards but fine by theirs. His wife served us tea, telling us not to worry, that it was made with boiled water. Then she apologized that her house was a mess because she wasn't expecting company… THEN she said the next time we came to Africa, we should plan to stay with them. Can't you just hear yourself or your friends making all of the same protestations and the same invitations?

Join in when you can. In the Italian town of Gubbio, they were preparing for their annual "Ceri Race Festival". The teams were meeting in their neighborhoods. We suggested to our friends that we should buy a jug of wine and ask if we could join the street party. Our friends didn't want to intrude, so we went to a local restaurant.

But wait, one of the teams, the Yellow Team, came in and went into a back room…. when the conga line snaked out and onto the street, we joined in. We sang for them… "Yellow Rose of Texas" and "Yellow Submarine" anyone? At first our friends wanted to crawl away, but soon we were sharing wine with everyone. We partied the night away with the Yellow Team in fractured English and Italian…. and our friends haven't stopped talking about it since. You can't sign up for that on a tour… you just have to lose your inhibitions and join in.

Become an extrovert… join in. Keep yourself humble… acknowledge that your way is not the only way. Get lost, but don't get frustrated, take it as an opportunity to meet locals and ask questions. Adjust your attitude and enjoy your cheap discount travel.

Get to grips with international travel by taking advantage of the numerous Cheap Discount Travel offers currently available.

Neuschwanstein looks like a fairy-tale castle. The German state of Bavaria is chockablock with picturesque villages and castles, but this one is really outdoes them all. That's because it actually was built to be a fairy-tale castle.

It may look medieval, but it was built by King Ludwig II in 1869. It's more fun to call him by the moniker he earned with his frenetic building spree… Mad King Ludwig. (He built two other castles in short order!)

Think about this… for Neuschwanstein, he had the help of a stage designer! Talk about theatrics. He did a great job of creating a wildly romantic castle too…. We've read repeatedly that Neuschwanstein was the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland!

Don't just race up the hill to Neuschwanstein, entrance tickets to the Castle must be purchased at the ticket center in Hohenschwangau. This ticket center serves both castles that are here… Yes, there are two castles right next to each other.

You can't wander the castle on your own; you must join a tour. Tours are given regularly in English as well as German. Be warned… that hill to the entrance isn't the only climbing you'll do… there are stairs inside… LOTS of them. 165 stairs up and 181 down according to the guidebook we read. (Before you ask…. the exit is lower than the entrance.) They do have tours for the disabled. Check their web site for details.

If you really want to be a smart traveler… get a reservation. It'll only cost you a couple of Euros more to do this. Whether you get them at the ticket booth or online, tickets come with admission times…. don't miss your time slot!!! Tour both castles while you're there…. if you do this, you'll tour Hohenschwangau first… and you'll have two tour times on your ticket two hours apart.

The lavish interior is full of fantastic furniture, imaginative wall paper and amazing "modern" (for the time) amenities…. flush toilets, running hot and cold water, and heating.

Get there early… especially in the summer because tours are mandatory, and there are a limited number of spaces on each. If you have to wait for your tour, hike around to see the two beautiful lakes nearby. The Schwansee is a nature reserve offering views of the castles. Just remember not to miss your tour time!

If you don't want to walk up the hill, you can pay to take a horse-drawn carriage up the hill. (It's more expensive to ride up than it is to ride down.)

You can't take pictures inside the castle, but you can get great views outside. Once you're done with your tour, walk up (yes, more up) to Mary's Bridge (Marienbruecke) for a great photo op view of the castle.

You can make this a day trip from Munich or you can stay in Fussen or Schwangau, the little towns near the castle. You can also choose to stay right in Hohenschwangau. There are a few hotels to choose from near the castles.

The castle complex of Hohenschwangau is 4 miles (7 km) east of the little Bavarian town of Fussen. The closest airport is Munich; the castle is 72 miles (116 km) from Munich.

You may think it sounds touristy…. It is…. It was opened to tourism only seven weeks after the mysterious death of Mad King Ludwig. No trip to this part of Germany would be complete without a visit to Neuschwanstein!

Personally, I was thinking of Amsterdam. If the coffee shops stretched your tourist imagination, the Amsterdam Red Light District won't.

"It WON'T??" I can almost hear all you men out there. "Wait a minute… that gets my imagination going…!" 

Well, it may boggle your mind to have all "that" out in the open and legal, but your imagination? No… The Amsterdam Redlight District leaves very little to the imagination. It's all right out there in front of you. It's a frenetic, hardcore sideshow of humanity, and it's unlike any other place that has been on your tourist map… we're pretty sure of that!

You may have heard about this district before we told you… but is it a place for tourists?

Yep… the place is crawling with tourists.

It's very likely that everything you've heard about the Redlight district — the "Rossebuurt" — is true. You might as well check it out for yourself with all the other tourists.

Yes, it's a district full of sex shops and brothels. Ladies of the night, of all nationalities, parade their wares in red lined "parlor windows". But here's the thing… you really won't feel all that out of place.

You'll be part of the tourist parade… couples pointing in feigned embarrassment, groups of women giggling at it all, and groups of young and not so young men gawking… with the ladies trying to convince them to "step right in."

All these red lighted storefronts sprang up in the old sailor's quarters… and as an odd quirk of history and geography the Oude Kerk - the Old Church ended up surrounded by this district. Church bells chime quaintly in the heart of this neighborhood selling sex. The Old Church is, fitting with its name, the oldest church in Amsterdam. It's a calm center in the middle of this storm with cute little houses clinging to its sides.

If your curiosity gets the better of you, just to see how tolerant the Dutch are and how well this all works…. go for that stroll in this district at night. That's when all the lights are on and it really comes to life. During the daytime, there is less going on and parts of it may even look a bit shabby.

Spreading out from the Oude Kerk, the Rosseburrt is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. During the day you can wander the long winding narrow cobbled streets and enjoy the charming 14th century architecture along the canals. Parts of the area are undergoing restoration to reduce the shabbiness, and you'll find upscale restaurants and music inviting you to linger without embarrassment.

Amsterdammers have a liberal and tolerant attitude towards all of this. Soft drugs and prostitution are legal. The prostitutes are even tax payers!

No need to worry about your safety here any more than you would in any part of the city. The Amsterdam Red Light district might actually be one of the safest areas because there are so many policemen on duty… not to mention bodyguards employed by the ladies themselves.

So go ahead, take a stroll in the Amsterdam Red Light District… Think what you can tell all your friends back home. Just keep in mind that you should never take pictures of occupied red windows… that is the one thing that is strictly banned.

But anyway, there are so many more amazing cities to visit by taking advantage of current cheap discount travel deals available. Head straight over to the Globe Cheap web site, where you will discover the very latest in cheap discount travel techniques in this Free Cheap Discount Travel Report

The Grand Canyon is one of those places that you have to see in person. Pictures will never do it justice, and is a definite candidate for a budget travel tour.

Descriptions will tell you that it is a great chasm carved over millennia… the Colorado River slicing away at the Colorado Plateau. People will tell you that it has awe-inspiring views. Vacationers and holiday makers will tell you it's a great place to hike or ride the rapids.

All of that is true… but you have to see it. An amazing fact we heard from a ranger once is that a typical stay in the park lasts five to seven hours, and most visitors stay at the rim of the Grand Canyon for less than an hour. (We've even heard less than 20 minutes!) How can you do that?

I guess maybe many of those short term visitors take day trips from Las Vegas… maybe even have a stop at the Skywalk on the way. You can do that and say you've seen the Grand Canyon, but to really see it… you need to savor it…, take your time.

Sit and watch the way colors change from reds to purples during different times of the day. Watch the clouds cast ever changing shadows on the plateaus and pinnacles.

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the most visited area and the most accessible. It is open 365 days a year. It's the South Rim that we will talk about here. Services and accommodations are available year round. Visitor services are only available on the North Rim from mid-May to mid-October.

Stay at one of the lodges in the National Park if you can. There are several to choose from, and they range from the historic El Tovar on the rim to more modern motel-like lodges. The rustic Bright Angel Lodge is also only a few feet from the rim.

You can easily walk around all day to explore and catch the free shuttles to different overlooks when you want to change the view. There are campgrounds available on the south rim.

Hike into the canyon. You can hike part way down the Bright Angel Trail for the day. An alternative is to hike part way down the South Kaibab Trail… markers along the side of the trail tell you how many millions of years old the rocks around you are! Even a day hike below the rim is awe inspiring.

Reservations for wilderness permits are required for overnight camping stays inside the canyon. There are campgrounds available on the floor of the canyon with that reservation and back country permit. Permits are popular and should be applied for well in advance, though a small number of permits may be available once you arrive.

The Park Service says that persons arriving without permits may put their names on a waiting list for cancellations. You must pack your food in. There is some food available on the canyon floor at Phantom Ranch.

There are also overnight mule trips into the Canyon with stays at the Phantom Ranch. Phantom Ranch is the only lodging facility below the canyon rim, and it is run by the National Park Service. There are dormitory type rooms and rustic cabins. Food is also available at the canteen.

So go see the Grand Canyon in person…. but spend more than 20 minutes! Spend a night or two and enjoy one of the world's great natural wonders!

Budget travel tours are literally being given away at the moment as people are not prepared to spend out this year on a short break by the ocean and under that sun.

Well it might be difficult to resist the temptation this year as prices have gone crazy in the budget travel tours sector.

For International destinations you can get some really amazing discounts on accommodation, and the flights are often free. It appears the whole travel industry needs us to travel just to keep the Industry wheels going round.

Planning a trip to the United States?  If you had to make a list of the top ten US cities to visit, what would they be? 

Whether you are an American or a visitor from abroad, the first city that pops into your head is probably New York, followed by maybe Los Angeles and San Francisco.  Those are all right up there in most top ten lists, and you should visit them, but there are others. 

There are plenty of cities, large and small that are great to visit, but what would be our choices to include in a list of top ten US cities along with those three?

Boston, Massachusetts for starters.  This city is steeped in US history.  Walk the Freedom Trail to see historic buildings like the Old North Church… It was from the Old North Church that Paul Revere took his "midnight ride" crying the warning of the approach of the British during the US Revolutionary War… As the poem goes, "…One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm….."  See Faneuil Hall.  Eat in the Union Oyster House, Boston's oldest restaurant.  Visit the colleges: Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Boston College just to name a few.

Chicago, Illinois has long been said to have an inferiority complex to New York, but it is a world class city.  There are fantastic museums, good restaurants, and you'll find cutting edge architecture.  It's right on Lake Michigan with a beautiful waterfront.  Visit Millennium Park and Old Navy Pier.

Denver, Colorado is situated in the Rocky Mountains.  You can visit to ski or snowboard at some of the famous resorts nearby or come to hike in the summer and enjoy the view.

Las Vegas, Nevada is a city with a reputation you've probably heard about.  Is it a good place for tourists?  That depends on what you want.  It's known for its gambling casinos and the world class entertainment they provide.  The casinos vie for visitors with over-the-top themes.  Roller coasters on the tops of  buildings, dancing water fountains, and of course LOTS of bright lights at night along the "Las Vegas Strip".

Miami Beach, Florida is a draw summer and winter for sun and beach lovers.  Visit trendy South Beach, the oldest section of Miami for it's popular restaurants and vibrant nightlife.  Take a tour of the Art Deco District; the colors and decorations will amuse you.

Seattle, Washington actually has many sunny days…. It does have a reputation for being rainy, but it's cloudy more than it's rainy.  That makes for lots of greenery for hiking.  It's on Puget Sound, which makes it a great place to sail.  Visit Pike Place Market.  The Space Needle is left over from a 1962 World's Fair, but it has become a symbol of Seattle.  There is an observation deck and a Sky City restaurant for great views of Seattle, the Olympic Range and Cascade Mountains… and on a clear day Mount Rainier.

Washington DC, District of Columbia is only last on our list of top ten US cities because we put it in alphabetical order.  As the nation's capital city, it offers The White House, the Congress Building, The Smithsonian Museums, and all the memorials along The Mall….. The Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument, and others.

So do plan a visit to New York or Los Angeles or San Francisco, but consider one of these other top ten US cities for your visit…. using either our list or your own.

Discover everything you need to know about budget travel tours and how you can take advantage of these truly amazing discount prices, and finally make it away to your chosen sunshine destination, where all the fun is at.
