Cheers to a Famous Boston, Mass., Restaurant Tourist Attraction!

We're generally not big on over hyped tourist attractions, but sometimes you just have to say "Cheers" to some of these popular spots. Case in point: Cheers Boston, the inspiration for the hit TV series "Cheers" and where exterior shots were filmed for the show.

From the crowds to the souvenirs, Cheers Boston indeed has tourist attraction written all over it. On the other hand, it's a very well run bar/restaurant with friendly service (including the bartenders) and a casual, comfortable atmosphere. For a burger and brew -- or other bar food basics and drinks -- Cheers is a perfectly acceptable restaurant to dine. I think if it wasn't a tourist attraction, some of media hipsters and various elitists would like this restaurant. I like to look beyond the obvious. In this case, I really see Cheers not only as a tourist destination but also a very solid restaurant. Plus, what would a visit to Boston be without doing the time-honored and tested "tourist" thing?

The spectacular scenery is something that is picture-worthy, so don't forget to bring your camera for this desert safari tour!

In addition to the undulating desert, you will also pass by rocky mountains and trails. The first stop for this tour is the Hatta Heritage Village.

It won't take long though until you proceed to a lush greenery that surrounds these rugged mountains. You will once again embark on a drive over the golden sand dunes in the desert.

This is one of the memories that you will cherish most from this tour.

By the end of your Full Day Hatta Desert Safari tour, you can head straight to the Evening Desert Safari Dubai Drive, if you like. This will be held in a desert camp that is fashioned to look like a traditional Arabian feast, complete with belly dancers, Arabian carpets, aromatic Sheesha, and Arabian meal – all of it under the canopy of brightly glistening stars.

Enjoying the Peaceful Coastal Setting of Jamestown, R.I.

Newport, R.I., is a favorite vacation destination to many visiting "The Ocean State," but let's not forget about the less-hyped towns and cities worth seeing in this small but packed-with-things-to-do state. The other day I was driving through Jamestown, R.I., and felt instantly attracted to the small town charm in this community with little more than 5,000 residents. The downtown is low-key with a few restaurants (a few with outdoor seating), galleries and service shops, but it looks great when juxtaposed with the pleasant, scenic views of the Narragansett Bay. At the small park area located by the Bay, you'll also see fine views of the Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge that leads to Newport.  You can really have the best of both worlds in Jamestown, enjoying its peaceful coastal setting or driving the bridge en route to Newport.

Here are some photos I think capture the serene feeling of Jamestown...

This view of the Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge is one I could look at all day!

I thought about how lucky the people of Jamestown are to have a downtown with water views framing an already pleasant central district.

New England coastal scenery doesn't get much better than this!

As you can see, Jamestown really has a nice location and one worth staying if you like your vacations a little less busy. Hope you get to see this great Rhode Island town! Book a hotel in Jamestown RI at the lowest rate
