In honor of my upcoming (and first ever!) trip to Las Vegas, I decided to feature this flashy photo. What are some of your favorite things to do in Sin City? How about places to stay and eat? I’m currently planning my trip (which I’m looking forward to sharing with the readers of TravelMusings!) and am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks to James Marvin Phelps (mandj98) for posting this photo.

Even if you haven’t been, it’s hard not to fall instantly in love with the enchanting Cinque Terre, an area along the Italian coast also known as the Five Lands. Comprised of five villages—Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso—Cinque Terre is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage list. Unlike the other villages, Corniglia rests on a promontory high above the ocean. Thanks to Cyril4j for posting this photo.

If you’re traveling to San Francisco, you cannot miss Alcatraz, the island that became a federal prison in August 1934 and is home to the West Coast’s first lighthouse and fort. Thanks to David Paul Ohmer for posting this photo.

This summer heat has me thinking all about road trips: top down, music blaring and quirky roadside attractions. Route 66 passes through many U.S. cities and even has its own song, “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66.” Next time you’re flying down this legendary highway, be sure to stop off at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum.
