Merritt Island Fl. -- The best place to see wildlife is along the Black Point Wildlife Drive. The 7-mile, one-way drive follows a dike road around several shallow marsh impoundments and through pine flatwoods. This provides an excellent place to see waterfowl (in season), wading birds, shorebirds and raptors. Alligators, river otters, bobcats, various species of snakes, and other wildlife may be visible as well. A self-guiding brochure (available near the drive entrance) will provide information on things to look for. Driving time is approximately 40 minutes.

There is a $10 fee (cash or check) per vehicle for a day pass or you can purchase a yearly pass for $25 at the Visitor Information Center. Duck Stamps, America the Beautiful Passes (annual, senior, and access), and Canaveral National Seashore passes may be substituted for the refuge pass. Photo by Peter W. Cross

A staple of most-livable city lists, Copenhagen is surely also one of the most easiest and most enjoyable to visit. Saturday night fireworks at Tivoli Gardens, the amusement park opened in 1843, and the Little Mermaid, perched on her rock by the docks, are timeless attractions for guests of all ages, while the laid-back hippie commune of Christiana and the Viking Ship Museum, 35 minutes outside the city, are attractions you won’t find elsewhere. In the city’s kitchens, the creations of New Nordic chefs make Copenhagen’s restaurant scene one of the world’s hottest. <br /><br /><strong>Travel Tip:</strong> Lufthansa passengers departing from Copenhagen Airport’s Terminal 2 can take advantage of a range of shops offering the latest in Scandinavian fashion and design.
