Reasons 4 Getaways

Medieval Banquets, Castles and more!

Experience the adventure and romance of the Middle Ages. Not only is it a glimpse into history, but its like time travel kings and knights, quests and chivalry

Go Medieval with Kings, Queens and Knights in Shining Armor. I love the thought of time travel. I mean, going back to the time of kings and knights, quests and chivalry. I know a perfect place for a mini time travel adventure to Medieval Europe during the 11th century. How does one get there, you ask? It’s really quite simple, choose Kissimmee as your Florida family vacation base and then make your way to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament.

 

Many people won’t admit it, but it’s true. In fact, everyone loves to be treated like royalty once in a while and that is exactly what happens at Medieval Times. From the minute visitors receive their paper crowns and enter the stadium they are treated like lords and ladies and waited on hand and foot.

 

 

England

 

 

Hatfield House was completed in 1611. It was built by Robert Cecil, first Earl of Salisbury and son of Lord Burghley, the chief minister of Elizabeth I. The deer park surrounding the house and the older building of the Old Palace had been owned by Elizabeth’s father, Henry VIII, who had used it as a home for his children, Edward, Elizabeth and Mary. It was while she was living in the Old Palace, in 1558, that Elizabeth learned of her accession to the throne.

The Hatfield Banquet offers a sumptuous four course dinner and excellent entertainment, set within wonderful surroundings. Whether you attend with a large party, a small group or as a couple, we can assure you of a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and a unique dining experience.

Florida: Kissimmee

A king, a wizard, a princess, handsome knights on horseback and chivalry; all of these things may be found at Medieval Times Dinner Theatre. There is a Medieval Village with crafters weaving and making chain maile and a dungeon to occupy those that arrive early.

There is a four course meal, horse show, falconry exhibition, and a skill competition between the knights before the joust began. When the jousting took place I was on the edge of my seat routing for my knight. The jousting and sword fighting was extremely believable. I have seen many jousts in my time, being an avid Medieval/Renaissance faire attendee, but not many as cool as this one.

The high point of the evening was when the king announced there would be a joust to the death. Hmm, what an interesting twist! I was, needless to say, extremely excited. When the tournament was over and the champion announced (no death involved) the crowd went wild. I mean, how great is it when the bad guy gets it and the good guy comes out the winner?

Cancun Spring Break...
 

Cancun's nightlife is unlike any other destination on Earth! For some a day in Cancun doesn't start until tasks like an 11AM breakfast, nap on the beach and siesta are arduously completed. This is your place to shine. With the legal drinking age 18 this is a choice hotspot for spring breakers.

Don't be surprised to find yourself dancing in a conga line, laughing your cares away and speaking whatever espanol you managed to pickup. Little more than twenty years ago, Cancun was just a Mayan name, a deserted, sun-drenched island off the northeast tip of the Yucatan peninsula The magnificent resort city of Cancun now offers visitors over 25,000 rooms in four and five star hotels as well as all inclusive accommodations that offer package deals including food, beverage and rooms.

Cancun Island is approximately 16 miles long with the highest point above sea level being 200 feet. The State of Quintana Roo is located 550 miles south of Miami, in the South-eastern part of Mexico. Along the coastline of about 540 miles, there are numerous coral islands and a reef barrier, the second largest in the world.

 

 

If you are searching for calm, peaceful days to enjoy the sun and the sand, Cancun boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. For those who go out more for daytime than night-time sports, Cancun, with its beaches of powdery coral sand, is the place to be. Cancun is a snorkel and scuba diving paradise, the lagoon enclosed by the -L- shape of the island, is ideal for sailing and water-skiing. Deep-sea fishing and diving are fantastic in the open sea, which stretches out in shades of light-green to turquoise from the shoreline to the violet-blue horizon.

If you prefer to visit the surrounding areas, there are many excursions to the mysterious Mayan archaeological sites of Tulum, Coba, Chichen Itza or Uxmal with. Boat trips to the nearby islands of Isla Mujeres, Cozumel and Contoy are popular and easy to do.

Erin Go Bragh...

 

The Luck Of The Irish!

When you think of Ireland the first name to come to mind is Dublin. But there are lots of places to explore in Ireland and Galway is such a place. Irelands Galway is an experience to be savoured and remembered. Music, festivals, horse racing, pubs, restaurants, shops, theatres and most of all Galway people, combine to create this atmospheric mediaeval city of culture. The enchanting landscape takes your breath away.

Scenic Gaeltacht areas including the Aran Islands. The heritage behind the Aran Sweaters is something to be admired. Glaway is a mix of mountains, castles and stone walls, banks of turf, long sandy beaches, clear lakes, joyful leaping streams and flowing rivers. Delightful countryside punctuated by pretty villages, and traditional pubs.

Galway, called Gailimh in Irish, with a population of over 70,000, is Ireland's third largest city and is a major hub for visits to West Ireland. It has long since been known as "The City of the Tribes" and this title could not be more appropriate these days, given the multicultural vibrancy of present-day Galway.

Galway city is unique among Irish cities because of the strength of its Irish language, music, song and dancing traditions - it is often referred to as the 'Bilingual Capital of Ireland'. The city is well known for its ‘Irishness’, and mainly due to the fact that it has on its doorstep the Galway Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area). The language is visible on the city streets, with bilingual signage on display on shops and road signs, and can be heard by locals around the city. Irish theatre, TV production and Irish music are an integral part of Galway city life, with both An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language Theatre, and TG4 headquarters in Galway. This has brought an Irish-speaking young professional population to the city and county, and has generated a renewal of interest in the language and in language-related activities and social events.

Annual events include the Celtic start of Spring festival Fleadh Imboilg (start of February), the Cúirt International Festival of Literature (April), the Galway Early Music Festival (May), the Galway Sessions traditional Irish music festival, the Galway Film Fleadh (July), the Project06 (July), which runs along the Galway Arts Festival (July), Galway Races horse racing festival (start of August), Galway International Oyster Festival (September), the Baboró Galway International Arts Festival for Children (October) and the Tulca visual arts festival (November) to name but a few.

Africa ...

 

Second Most Populous Destination!

Africa is the oldest inhabited territory on earth with the human species originating from this continent.

During the middle of the twentieth century, anthropologists discovered many fossils and evidence of human occupation perhaps as early as 7 million years ago. Fossil remains of several species of early apelike humans thought to have evolved into modern man.
