Fun in the sun vacations

Fun on wheels
France by bicycle
Picture yourself cycling through the French countryside, past charming villages, vineyards and beaches and enjoying a crusty baguette, some farm fresh cheese and a glass of Brodeaux at the end of the day. Sound good? Make your dream a reality with a bike tour through Brittany with Breton Bikes. The gentle, rolling hills are ideal for cyclist of all ages, and the beautiful, wooded landscapes will make you forget that you're pedaling. All equipment is supplied, and routes are planned for either hotel or camping stays.

The company owners have small children, and every base has been covered: baby seats, trailer bikes, tandems and small mountain bikes are all provided, and family-friendly routes consist of cycle paths in the country with lots of stops for playing and swimming.

Hot wheels
If you'd like to slide in behind the wheel and watch the world go by, why not rent an RV and set out on an adventure? And when the weather gets ugly, head south! In Arizona the weather is inviting, the activities are endless, and there are many RV camp locations across the state. If you're not up for a hike in the Grand Canyon, chug though it on a reproduction steam train -- wouldn't the kids love that?! Visit Rawhide, a re-created 1880's Frontier Town and take in the mock gun fights and stage coach rides. Cruise to Phoenix where there's lots to do -- the Phoenix Zoo, the Arizona Science Center and water parks. At the Kartchner Caverns State Park near Tuscon, explore caves with spectacular stalactites, stalagmites and other cave formations, or ride dune buggies in the Yuma Sand dunes.
