Most of us travel to new places for the thrill of experiencing the culture, foods and scenery of our chosen destination. But how do you know you are really experiencing the highlights and key elements of the area.

GoGirlfriend always checks out the CVB (Convention and Visitor Bureau) sites for the areas we are visiting to make sure we have a good picture of the highlights of the area. Wine trails, activities, photo highlights allow us a taste of what’s to come and some excitement of the opportunities so we know what to do and where to go!

Here’s a few CVB sites from our recent travels (some even have downloadable apps and guides to take offline on your tablet):

• Scotland CVB - Visit Scotland 
• Cleveland CVB - This is Cleveland
• St. Augustine CVB - Florida's Historic Coast
• Buffalo CVB - Visit Buffalo Niagara
• Ventura CVB – Ventura California
• Oxnard CVB – Visit Oxnard California
• New Orleans CVB – http://www.neworleanscvb.com with downloadable guides

Make the most of your holiday and drive up the excitement!
