Arundel Mills Mall:Wear Comfortable Shoes by toiletoctopus Pros: Bass Pro Shops, Dave and Busters, Movies, Shopping Choices, Food, Well Behaved Teens
Cons: A lot of walking..bring comfortable shoes, as your feet will hurt. I am not the world's biggest fan of shopping malls, but I will make an exception with Arundel Mills. This gigantic mall has one place that makes my heart beat faster, which is Outdoor World Bass Pro Shops. Located in Hanover, Maryland, ...

West Virginia: Buckshot, Hillbillies, and More by toiletoctopus Pros: Outdoor Lovers Paradise, Great People, Entertainment
Cons: None West Virginia has had its share of inequities, from being associated with some of the best geographical jokes in the U.S., to being considered a place of rife poverty and inbreeding. While it is one of the poorest states in the country, due to its lack ...

An expensive disappointment by thebe100 Pros: Cute idea, might be enjoyable for 6-9 year olds.
Cons: Too expensive for what you get. Not good for preschool age. Legoland Discovery Center was such a major disappointment that it almost ruined our whole day. We thought our 3 1/2 yr old son and 2 1/2 yr old nephew would enjoy the experience, but we were very wrong. First, the online "interactive" ...

Enjoying life with the ancients in Athens by cr01 Pros: Lovely to spend time exploring the lives and rituals of ancient Greece
Cons: I was disappointed with the Acropolis itself Look at any guidebook or map of Athens, and there seems to be a bewildering amount of Ancient Greece to be able to explore. A quick wander round the city reveals perspex covered holes in the pavement or preserved columns at the side of Metro stations ...

Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum – For Quilt Fanatics only by trailhound Pros: Intricate quilts. Good displays. Exhibits change about 4 times/year. Free parking nearby.
Cons: Adult price is a bit high. We saw everything in less than 1/2 hour. The town of Golden, Colorado has a nice downtown area, just a stone's throw from the Coor's Brewery. There are small shops, cafes, art galleries, and scenic riverwalk. The town itself is nestled between two scenic bluffs and is sort of a gateway to the ...

She never thought twice when she immediately made arrangements to return to her home in Colorado. Little did she know at the ...

What a hit! by miller1611 Pros: Very kid friendly! Inexpensive couple hours of entertainment.
Cons: Parking a little out-of-the-way. Factory tour is loud, but what factory isn't loud. During my recent visit to Louisville, being the avid sports fan that I am, I had to visit the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory and I also had to take my four year old. I was so looking forward to this part of my trip and I wasn’t ...

Malvern, IA by remnjava Pros: A great little secret of a town.

Mfuwe Lodge by sheepdog Pros: Luxurious, in a "rustic" way
Cons: If you "need" air conditioning and TV, this isn't the one for you. I stayed at Mfuwe Lodge in early November 2008, and would recommend it highly to any other travellers.There are many places on the edge of the South Luangwa National Park where you can stay. Mfuwe Lodge is inside the park.The Lodge is run ...

A little pain for a lot of gain by sheepdog Pros: Exceptional guides, biology, vistas.
Wonderful "get away from it all" experience. Cons: You have to understand that getting there takes time, stamina. I first went to the Okavango in 2004 (Shinde and Kanana camps, with Ker & Downey)A chance to go back to Africa arose recently, and the fact that it was "again" to the Okavango distressed me not in the least.This time I went to the ...

Semi-Authentic Indian Cliff Dwellings on the doorstep of Colorado Springs by trailhound Pros: Good signage. Interesting buildings. ''Authenic'' looking. Great site for photographs. Small museum.
Cons: Value for the money. Not quite authentic (but accessible for more people). I have seen Indian cliff-dwelling sites at New Mexico's Bandelier National Monument and have heard about the more famous structures at Mesa Verde in Colorado. However, until recently I did not know there was a similar Indian cliff dwelling site in ...

Horrible Ride. Don't waste your time. by jlandis44 Pros: If a short line, good for killing time waiting for a fastpass on another ride.
Cons: Dark, loud, stinky, and not really fun. Scary for young kids. Unfortuantely, Disney really missed the mark on this ride. If it was supposed to be intense, it was intense only in that its loud and busy. And, it would be scary for young folks. For adults, its just annoying.You are initially ...

Favorite ride at any Disney park by jlandis44 Pros: Great atmosphere, and a great ride! You'll want to ride multiple times!
Cons: Lines can be long, so use fastpass whenever the line is longer than 20 minutes. I wasn't sure I was even going to get on the Tower of Terror ride, as I'm usually not too big of a fan of intense rides. I'm 6'7" tall and often don't fit comfortably on these rides and get tossed around quite a bit. I decided that I was ...
