LET THE SUN SHINE - Summer Travel

This weekend welcomes the Summer of 2012 and we're kicking it off with a few ideas to spark your wanderlust. In the coming weeks, Area will inspire you with new places to discover, share helpful tips, and keep you up to date on events not to miss this season. Start daydreaming about your next getaway.

There's nothing like a day(preferably a few)at the beach and Area Daily has dozens of recommendations from glamorous to low key and everything in between. Search for articles on where to go and what to do, and if you don't find what you're looking for drop us an email and our team of global nomads will gladly offer suggestions that fit your requests.

Answer the call of the wild with an outdoor adventure. Saddle up at a Dude Ranch, riverboard on the rapids, or embark on a multi day kayaking excursion.

Visit an up and coming wine region like Northern Portugal or British Columbia before the crowds settle in.

Chow down on the country's best lobster rolls. Our food editors would love to hear who you think has the best roll.

A toast to summer!
