| Acapulco |
 For thousands of annual visitors, Acapulco is the ideal holiday resort. This Pacific resort is a Mecca for those who love swimming, shopping, and enjoying the nightlife. Acapulco Bay, one of the world's best natural harbors, is the city's centerpiece. The weather is Acapulco's major draw--warm waters, almost constant sunshine, and year-round temperatures in the 80s. It comes as no surprise, then, that most people plan their day around laying their towel on some part of Acapulco's many kilometers of beach.
Beach diversions come in all varieties at this amazing resort town. More

Several months ago, while walking toward the boarding gate with members of my airline crew, our captain was approached by a passenger who asked if he had been drinking alcohol. The query was met with incredulity by our crew. Our captain was sober; in 16 years I've never flown with one who was not. In a clipped voice, the captain informed the passenger that he had not been drinking and then marched toward the airplane, shaking his head.

In Cassadaga, a village with clapboard houses and unkempt gardens, there is a peacefulness that is pervasive and, oh yes, people who can communicate with animals.

It's a mall world after all

Curiosity and the quints
The Dionne quintuplets sparked a cottage industry for tourists in Ontario, but the girls' birthplace, now a museum of their history, was never to be a genuine home.
The town the Bard built
What's in a name? For Stratford, quite a bit. A journalist's idea to start a Shakespearean theater has brought sweet success to this charming town.
