Other memorable moments:
-
Wyoming was a memorable trip when we visited Yellowstone National Park, where dramatic geysers, vibrant hot springs, and abundant wildlife showcase some of the most untouched natural beauty in America, with unique geothermal wonders and iconic scenery.
-
Rhode Island's grand Vanderbilt mansion is still etched in my mind, where opulent architecture and sweeping ocean views transport me to America's Gilded Age.
-
Honolulu, Hawaii, was also an amazing trip, still fresh in memory, for the helicopter experience soaring above breathtaking landscapes with a bird's-eye view over Waikiki Beach, as well as warm ocean breezes, turquoise waters, and the silhouette of Diamond Head
-
Last but not the least, is Alaska where I would love to go back. One of the key highlights was dog sledding across pristine, snow-covered wilderness as a team of huskies races through the icy landscape under the vast northern sky.
