This home is located just 2 miles from the 'Bighorn' river fishing access (known as '13 mile' to the locals) and is 12 miles from Ft. Smith. It offers all of the creature comforts you're looking for. You'll be able to spend the day on the water and be 'home' within minutes to a hot shower, ice cold beverage and grill that fish you just caught.

The warm water in the Bighorn river and many farmers' fields attracts many Canada geese during the winter, making the valley a prime area for waterfowl hunters and upland game birds trive in the many fields and pastures of the farms and ranches.

The home is situated on a large parcel of land, so you'll have lots of privacy, peace and quiet. The parking area is huge and there is plenty of room for your boats and pickup trucks.

The house has 2 bedrooms, and I have them set up with 2 full-size beds in each room. It will sleep 4 adults comfortably, with a maximum of 8. Very large groups will have restrictions of water use, and require special instructions so the septic system isn't overloaded.

10 Weekend spot in Germany (love them all)

0 Summer Weekend Getaways (Germany)

During the summer months, I will concentrate the Lists! features on potential weekend jaunts or excursions that are off-the-beaten path, with a great local flavor and/or that attract more locals as tourists.  For June, I concentrate on Germany... In July, it will be other countries in Europe.

Well known cities like Cologne or Nuremberg need not apply, nor anyplace half-way connected to the Koenigschlosser.  These are great places you are less likely to have heard of, but just as likely to enjoy for a day trip or weekend.  Keeping this list to ten was not easy!!!

#10.  Schwäbisch Hall

Schwäbisch Hall is a wonderful little town that those living in German have heard of but probably never had a chance to visit.  Take this advice:  Go there.  It's a wonderful day trip to a beautiful town with loads of half-timber houses, pleasant parks, and summer concerts.  It's easy to get to as well!  (Autobahn 6, Exit 42)

#9.  Thuringian Holiday (Weimar shown below)

The province of Thueringen is pretty easy to explore -- much of its attraction are in a row:  Eisenach, with its famous Wartburg Castle, the fabolous capital of Erfurt, and Weimar, the site of the founding of Germany's first democratic republic (ok, so it didn't last).  Weimar is highlighted here because Erfurt is already very popular among the Euro tourist crowd, while Weimar attracts more locals seeking to learn more about history.

#8.  Hockenheim Race Track (on race day of course)

Yeah, I know, this isn't an exciting photo.  But, if you are a race fan and you happen to be in the western part of Germany, you may want to hunt on-line and check out a race?  Hockenheim hosts races frequently over the summer (including major Formula 1 events), and during that time this sleepy little hamlet of 5 thousand grows into a throng a quarter-million strong!!!

#7.  Lübeck

Summertime is the ideal time to head north, and one of the most impressive cities up north is the red-brick island city of Lübeck not far from the Danish border.  The site of the formation of the Hanseatic League, Lübeck has lots of history and rich architecture, plus plenty of summer activities!

#6.  Dinkelsbühl

Been to Rothenburg already?  Twice?  Three times?  Brought all your stateside family there, too?  How about an alternative?  About a 45-minute drive south is another of Germany's well-preserved medieval towns, Dinkelsbühl, except this one is better preserved and has far fewer tourists -- therefore less kitsch.  Worth checking out.

#5.  Schloss Wilhelmshoehe, Kassel

The northern Hessen city of Kassel is impressive in its own right, but the Schloss is the reason to go -- particularly in the afternoon when all the artificial waterfalls and cascades in the park are running.  A guided "water tour" begins here at the Oktagon at the very top of Wilhelmshoehe in mid-afternoon with the opening of its magnificent cascades.  Each half-hour the tour climbs down the hillside to another fabulous water show.

#4.  Trier

Trier is a very popular spot on the Mosel River Valley.  Loaded with well-preserved Roman architecture, Trier also sits at the southern end of the Germany's Mosel wine country.  Follow a visit to downtown Trier with a drive up the Mosel through some of its fabulous wine villages and sample the local wares!

#3.  Driving the Rhein River (Bingen am Rhein shown)

A wonderful Sunday drive is following the Rhein River in between its confluence with the Main River at Mainz to that of the Moselle River at Koblenz.  In between is an eye-catching spectacle of steep banks of vineyards and castle after castle after castle.  If you don't feel like driving, take a ferry ride.  Or better yet, take a night ride during one of the famous Rhein Aflame events, complete with fireworks!

#2. Schwerin

One of my favorite places in Germany.  The Schwerin Castle is just too pretty sitting on an island in a pristine lake, but the rest of the town has gotten a tremendous facelist.  Another place to go out of the way for!

#1. Lake Constance (Lindau shown)

The key to enjoying Lake Constance (which can be overrun by tourists in some spots) is to venture around a bit -- preferrably by boat -- among some of the lake's greater sights.  Lindau is my favorite, but Meersburg and Konstanz are places not to be missed.  Although these towns can be busy in the summer, I never found them so overwhelmingly crowded that they can't be enjoyed (nor has parking seemed like an impossible task).

Sri Lanka Travel

ri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean, located to the south of Indian Subcontinent. Sprawling over the area of 65, 610 square kilometers, Sri Lanka with its tear-dropped shape is dominated by the astonishingly varied features of topography, making it one of the most scenic places in the world. Three zones can be divided by its distinguished elevation: the Central Highland, the plains, and the coastal belt.

At the core of the island is dominated by a high plateau in which several highest mountains of Sri Lanka are situated. Among them, the highest pinnacle is Pidurutalagala Mountain levitating at 2,524 meters of its height; Sri Lankan people consider this mountain as the sacred site of pilgrimage. The Adam's Peak lying to the west, at the southern end of the plateau is better known for its spectacular scenery and sacred pilgrimage site with its elevation of 2224 meters.

Then the land descends from the Central Highlands to a series of flat plains between 30 and 200 meters above sea level, dominating the east and the north of the island. Extensive erosion in this area has worn down and deposited the rich soil good for agriculture.

A coastal belt surrounds the island, consisting of scenic sandy beaches and lagoons. Best beaches line along the southern coast, southwestern coast and eastern coast. In the northeast and the southwest, the coasts cut across the stratification of crystalline rocks, cliffs, bays, and offshore islands, creating one of the world's best natural harbors at Trincomalee on the northeastern coast and a smaller rock harbor at Galle on the southwestern coast. In the northwest, Mannar Island which is joined with the mainland by a bridge is almost connected to the southern India by a long chain of sandbanks and islets called Adam's Bridge.

Rivers in Sri Lanka originates in the Central Highlands, near Adam's Peak and flow through the gorges, broad valley and plains and finally empty in the sea near Trincomalee, creating the different landscapes of escarpments, waterfalls and deep gorges. Most of the rivers are short and frequently interrupted by the discontinuities of terrain. The longest river of Sri Lanka is the Mahaweli Ganga River with it length of 335 kilometers. The upper reach of the river is wild and non-navigable while the lower reaches are prone to the seasonal flooding. The river is the most important water necessity for the irrigation system in the northeast region in which natural rainfalls are deficient.

The Romantic Getaway.

The Pros:
Staying at a fine hotel means you can expect full service and privacy. If you want to stay in bed all weekend, sipping Champagne and nibbling on chocolate-covered strawberries, room service should be able to accommodate.

Hotel Close-Up: Sofitel the Grand Amsterdam Hotel

Hotel Close-Up: Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, New Jersey

Hotel Close-Up: Encore Las Vegas

If you care to venture out for a meal, a hotel dining room is nearby. The concierge can arrange reservations, transportation, and tickets for you during the weekend. For privacy, just put out the "do not disturb" sign, and a weekend of romance is yours.

The Cons:
Good hotels can be pricey, but many that host business guests during the week offer romantic weekend getaway packages for couples. If you stay in a city hotel in a business district, some surrounding local establishments may be closed on Sundays.

RESORT Romantic Weekend Getaways

The Pros:
Spending a weekend at a resort means that you can choose from a variety of activities to participate in. Beach resorts often rent sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and other watersports equipment. Ski resorts put you close to a mountain. Larger resorts, depending on the location, may offer instruction in sports such as scuba diving, golf, tennis, and skiing. Resorts also tend to have more than one restaurant (plus room service) so you can savor meals in a variety of settings.

Resort Close-Up: Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas

Resort Close-Up: Marco Island Marriott Resort, Florida

Resort Close-Up: Royal Plantation, Jamaica

The Cons:
A resort can be costly, and little things — like parking and raiding the minibar — can add to the expense. Also, many large resorts cater to families, so there's a chance the squeals of children or the noise of them tearing down the hallway may intrude on a romantic weekend. In the event this occurs, don't put up with it. Ask management for another room, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

LODGE Romantic Weekend Getaways

The Pros:
Smaller than resorts but larger than inns, lodges are usually located in beautiful natural surroundings and offer a variety of outdoor activities.

Lodge Close-Up: Stowe Mountain Lodge, New York

Lodge Close-Up: Lodge at Turning Stone Resort, New York

Lodge Close-Up: Lodge at Woodloch, Pennsylvania

The Cons:
Lodges cater to families as well as couples. Food tends to be banquet, not gourmet, quality.

Jamaica Travel

ravel Alert: While the government-declared state of emergency in some parts of Kingston due to civil unrest has now been lifted, violent crime is still an issue so caution is advised when travelling. For further information see Safe Travel for updated government warnings and the BBC for the latest news updates.

Despite its location almost smack in the center of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Jamaica doesn’t blend in easily with the rest of the Caribbean archipelago. To be sure, it boasts the same addictive sun rays, sugary sands and pampered resort-life as most of the other islands, but it is also set apart historically and culturally.



Today’s visitors will appreciate their trip to Jamaica all the more if they embrace the island’s unique character and the inherent ‘African-ness’ of its population. Aside from its people, Jamaica has much to offer, the curious, thirsty or weary traveller. The Blue Mountains boasts the world’s best coffee, try a cup in the century-old factory at Mavis Bank. There are world-class reefs for diving including those at Runaway Bay and Ocho Rios and great stretches of palm-fringed sand at Treasure Beach or Frenchman’s Cove near Port Antonio. There are offbeat bush-medicine hiking tours, congenial fishing villages, pristine waterfalls, cosmopolitan cities, wetlands harboring endangered crocodiles and manatees, unforgettable sunsets – in short, enough variety to comprise many utterly distinct vacations.

Nowhere else in the Caribbean is the connection to Africa as keenly felt as it is in Jamaica. Kingston was the major nexus in the New World for the barbaric triangular trade that brought slaves from Africa and carried sugar and rum to Europe, and the Maroons (runaways who took to the hills of Cockpit Country and the Blue Mountains) safeguarded many of the African traditions – and introduced jerk seasoning to Jamaica’s singular cuisine. St Ann’s Bay’s Marcus Garvey founded the back-to-Africa movement of the 1910s and ’20s; Rastafarianism took up the call a decade later, and reggae furnished the beat in the 1960s and ’70s. Little wonder many Jamaicans claim a stronger affinity for Africa than for neighboring Caribbean islands.

This is a country infused with pride in its unique history, stunning landscape and influential culture. Welcome to Jamaica.

Haula in Hawaii

Hula, which began in Hawaii as a sacred ritual, has over time flourished into an art form.

Originally a type of worship in religious ceremonies, hula was performed to give thanks to Hawaii’s ancient gods and honor its chieftains. Later hula dances, chants, and songs moved from the temples into the secular world, their incantatory beauty entertaining and enlightening.

Accompanied only by voice or percussion instruments, male — and subsequently, female — hula dancers used their bodies to express the wondrous legends of the Hawaiian islands.

Every hula movement has a specific meaning. Different gestures symbolize flowers, animals, even conflict and war. With expressive hands and undulating hips, a hula dancer can evoke a palm frond in the breeze or the menace of a shark.

Traditional hula narratives tell a story. One recounts the islands’ emergence from the sea and the saga of goddess Pele, who restlessly searched each of the Hawaiian islands for a home until finally finding one within a Big Island volcano.

Westerners Encounter Hula in Hawaii
The first Westerners in Hawaii, Captain Cook and corps arrived in 1778. Expedition members noted a hula performed for them on Kauai — and it seemed the gentle art would continue to hold observers in its thrall.

It was not to be. Around 1820, missionaries sailed from New England to “save” Hawaii. Shocked and appalled by the dance they deemed "heathenish," these zealots dedicated themselves to eradicating the hula. Manipulating sympathizers among Christianized royalty, the missionaries succeeded in making the dance illegal.

Yet hula’s endurance was as tenacious as its rhythms. During this bleak period, which lasted more than fifty years, hula went underground. And far away from the Hawaiian islands’ missions, dancers continued to surreptitiously perform the sensual dances.

The Hula Ruler
If hula has a royal patron, it is King David Kalakaua (1874-91). Well-traveled and well-connected (President Grant entertained him in Washington), Kalakaua never forgot his Hawaii roots. Known as the Merrie Monarch for his love of song and dance, Kalakaua formed a palace hula troupe. His appreciation of the authentic art returned hula to its rightful place as a national treasure.

Kalakaua's support also helped hula evolve. Western forms of music were later integrated into some hulas. The steel guitar and the ukulele, a Portuguese import, were added to hula’s instrumental repertoire.Haula in Hawais

Marché Vernaison

Marché Vernaison

Fourteen markets, each with its own personality, come together at Les Puces. Marché Serpette gets props from dealers and designers for its exceptionally high-quality antiques—the best at the market. Marché Paul-Bert scores high on charm thanks to the beautiful interiors of its shops. But the oldest and largest is Marché Vernaison, where a maze of winding lanes leads to the goods. Discover nostalgic pieces of childhood at Tombées du Camion (“Fallen from the Truck”), where young antiques dealer Charles Mas fills bins to the brim with toys and carnival trinkets. His displays alone are worth the visit, although it’s hard to resist picking up a small piece to take home.

Marché Serpette

At Nini Peau d’Chien, check out miscellany such as apothecary jars, wooden toys and cast-metal Eiffel Towers. More soothing is the namesake shop of owner Janine Giovannoni and its soft French linens, including bedding suitable for French royalty displayed neatly atop a marble-topped table. Perhaps the most intriguing niche shop is Les Porte-Clés and its very specific merchandise—key chains from the 1960s.

Marché Serpette

Find hundreds of examples representing an amazing diversity of topics, from banks and bourbon manufacturers to petroleum companies and political campaigns.

Here, Marché Serpette gets props from dealers and designers for its exceptionally high-quality antiques—the best at the market.

Marché Dauphine

Getting there: On the northern edge of Paris, Les Puces is a 10- to 15-minute walk from the Metro line 4 stop Porte de Clignancourt. After passing through a rather bleak area and under an elevated freeway, turn left onto rue des Rosiers.

At Marché Dauphine, you'll spot Monica Fripes—Desguisements, where vintage dresses, blouses, men's suits, shoes and accessories from princes of 1950s and '60s fashion Pierre Cardin, Guy Laroches and Yves Saint-Laurent mingle among lesser-known labels
