  CASTRIES, ST. LUCIA, WEST INDIES

St. Lucia is the perfect place to come do nothing at all. Here, you'll find some of the world's finest beaches. In all shapes, sizes and colors. Some dotted with plush resorts - others simply with palm trees. Some stretching for miles and miles - ideal for endless hand-in-hand walks. Others cozy and crescent shaped - just the thing for hiding away. And the soft as powder sand comes in white, salt and pepper, gold and coral pink.

DUNDALK

 The cradle of Irish civilization and the Celts’ spiritual home, the Midlands encompass some of Ireland’s most sacred and symbolic sites. Situated at the head of broad Dundalk Bay this is the principal town and administrative capital of Co. Louth. Dundalk has a great historical past and is closely associated with Cuchulainn, hero of the legendary Red Branch Knights. Today the town is busy and progressive manufacturing centre. Dundalk's amenities include a racecourse, greyhound track and an 18-hole golf course at the seaside suburb of Blackrock 5 km south of the town.

Dundalk once marked the northernmost point of the Pale, the area controlled by the English during the Middle Ages. Now it is the last major town before the Northern Irish border. Dundalk is also a gateway to the magnificent countryside of the Cooley Peninsula. The County Museum is housed in an 18th-century distillery in the town. In three exhibition galleries it gives an imaginative history of the county, from the Stone Age to the present day.  

TIMMINS

 James Bay Frontier - a land for those lured by the call of the wild. A dramatic, remote land that holds the power to unfetter the imagination. A place of unchanging, uncompromising splendour, of stark beauty, of true solitude. This is where the real wilderness begins. Where a single railway track is the only link to the last outpost before the Arctic landscape begins in earnest.

LAVA HOT SPRINGS

 Today, people from all over the world seek out the healing properties of the warm spring water, which is naturally filtered as it moves through five pools. During the summer, you can alternate between the hot springs and the city's (cool) pool and water slides. Many soakers top off their day with an elegant dinner at the historic Greystone Manor. Luxury and history await overnight travelers at the Harkness Hotel in nearby McCammon; this beautifully restored building blends historic details and modern touches for a stay you'll long remember.

 Hot Springs Bathing Pool

 
If you're here in February, you'll be amazed by the number of people brave enough to tube down the freezing Portneuf River in just a costume, as part of Lava Hot Springs' annual Fire and Ice Winter Fest. The festival also features fire performers, wine tasting, karaoke contests, a chill cook-off, a casino night, and the exciting Running of the Bulls event. Nonstop fun for everyone, with water slides, a splash pad, hillside slides, and volleyball and basketball courts.
