So you are coming to the big city on your next vacation?

Maids of Honor looking for a wonderful place to host a bachelorette event this winter may want to focus on planning a vacation in Jackson Hole. It’s an ideal place to plan a bachelorette escape for several reasons. Among them are the wide variety of overnight accommodations, dining facilities, activities and attractions available to groups and individuals alike.

Looking for some offbeat destination ideas for your next vacation? How about some of the weirdest castles this side of the Atlantic?

The history of Houston, TX, named for former Tennessee Governor Sam Houston, plays like the pages of a wild-west novel. In April of 1836, Sam Houston led Texas troops in a battle of revenge against Mexico over the slaughter at the Alamo, and was quickly named President of the Republic of Texas in return. The town of Houston soon became capitol of the Republic of Texas, and its spot near the swampy river of Buffalo Bayou as well as its proximity to the port of Galveston, made it the perfect location through which railroads and wagons full of good would travel.

Castles have history and can be exciting to visit, so when looking for great destination ideas keep in mind that having something to see can often be more fun than sitting by the pool at the hotel for the whole vacation. The great thing about castles is that they are scattered around the world, so wherever the vacation lands there are bound to be a few castles waiting to be discovered around the corner.
