FLOATING Airport
San Diego is in desperate need of an new airport, but no one wants it near their land. The so-obvious-that-you'll-slap-your-forehead solution? Don't build it on land, the ocean's right there. There's even a plan, but it's more than an airport.
Nira Resort Chemin Grenier
Locally designed, built with local materials, and serving up local seafood and rum, Shanti Maurice provides an authentic Mauritius experience all wrapped up in an uncomplicated, chic package. Seemingly cut from some sexy Hollywood fantasy of Mauritius, Shanti Maurice manages to keep things real while looking flawless. A myriad of pleasures sit at the ready, ranging from core-twisting kayaking on the Indian Ocean, to challenging-yet-approachable golf at the South African-designed Le Golf du Chateau. That's not to mention the Nira spa, where guests can limber up (physically and mentally) with yoga, massage, and meditation.
Skyline Drive Famous Lake
Just 75 miles (120 kilometers) from Washington, D.C., visitors to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia can witness the majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley while driving along the 106-mile (170-kilometer) Skyline Drive. Hikers intent on exploring the more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) of trails should look for white signposts that indicate the legendary Appalachian Trail.
Ocean Lodge Hotel
Come face-to-face with sea lions, kangaroos, and koalas at South Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, called Australia's Galapagos for its abundant wildlife.
