Summer is Coming so Get your Vacation Thinking Cap On!
Author: Andrew Regan   | Posted: 26-04-2007 | Views: 6 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
If you're planning a summer vacation this year, you might find yourself a little overwhelmed by the number of destination choices that you face. Should you head to the Great Lakes, the bright light of the Big Apple or the golden beaches of California? It can be difficult to make a choice between a variety of spectacular US locations; but with careful planning and by figuring out your holiday priorities, it's possible to make the right vacation decision quickly and easily.
For example, if sun and sand are your priorities on holiday, take a trip to the Californian coast. Drive a little further south of San Francisco and you'll find the charming beach towns of Monterey and Carmel. Carmel-by-the-sea, for instance, is a well-known aesthetic arts town by the sea, famous for having actor Clint Eastwood as its mayor from 1986 to 1988. Monterey, a little further north, is similarly famed for its artistic heritage; but it's also historically famed for its fishery and is home to one of the largest aquariums in North America - the Monterey Bay Aquarium. With craggy rocks, roaring waves and a plethora of memorable seafood restaurants, the charming towns of the Californian Coast are sure to delight on your summer vacation.
Alternatively, if you want to take a city break for your summer holiday, visit Chicago, Illinois. One of the USA's most unique cities, Chicago boasts an eclectic architectural skyline and a sophisticated restaurant culture. So if you're looking to explore some of America's most stunning buildings, Chicago is sure to please you. From the Art Institute to the Sears Tower and the Buckingham Fountain, Chicago is replete with attractions in which the summer holidaymaker can revel. What's more, Chicago's status as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the country means that there are a variety of eateries that you can frequent. And with an opera scene that's unparalleled in any city west of New York, Chicago is sure to offer you a truly exceptional cultural experience.
Or why not visit Cleveland, Ohio, to pay homage to one of America's greatest centres of rock music this summer. In Cleveland, you'll be able to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, explore the city's best art galleries and museums and dine in the most romantic restaurants. What's more, Cleveland's location on the southern shore of Lake Erie means that you'll be able to drive around the Great Lakes at ease and enjoy some breathtaking lakeside views.
Wherever you decide to spend your vacation, make sure you choose your accommodation carefully. Whether it's a cozy motel with a fantastic beach view or a five-star luxury hotel break, your summer vacation is sure to be all the more enjoyable if you're able to get a good night's sleep!

Can Fertility Doctors bring ovulation more than once a month?
By: ShaWal | 26-10-2007
I'm beginning fertility treatment with chlomid and AI and it looks like I will be on vacation during my most fertile time. Should I cancel our vacation? Can the doctor "bring on ovulation" early even when I naturally would not have it? Also, my friend told me she went though one round---it failed--and then a few days later she tried again (the doctor, she said, brought ovulation on in the same month) Is this really possible? Thank you.
